[Motorola Atrix HD] texasgoldbuyer:
Hello Everyone,

I have a Motorola Atrix HD MB886 and have been successful at unlocking the bootloader. I want to upgrde the rom from 4.1 to 4.4. Every article that I have found says start in restore mode and gives directions on what to do. Well the first 3 steps are there with no problem but when it says to "Wipe Dalvik cache" and to "Install zip from SD card". Those features are not there. I do have a feature that says install from external SD card but it does not see the zip file. So I have taken another approach. I have installed an app called Rom Customizer and it does see the package and again it informs me it need to boot in recovery mode. The phone just sits there and displays the android logo with the red triangle but never does anything then reboots as normal without applying any changes. What am I doing wrong? I will admit I am new to this and this is my other phone. When the logo appears are my supposed to do something? If I do go into the recovery mode I still only have the same options as before so am I leaving something out? Any help will be appreciated and thanks in advance....

So what percentage of people here with ZU GPE have broken, malfunctioning camera after the 4.4.3 update?

Anybody find out the cause of failure?

What are the chances that the upcoming 4.4.4 will fix this issue?

It is comforting to know that I am not the only one with a broken camera, but it is so frustrating because there isn't much discussion going on this forum.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
Cant add much except 4.4.4 won't fix the camera issue by it's self, it will need other patches above what's in 4.4.4

Do you know why camera works on 4.4.2 but gets broken in 4.4.3 for some users?

Different camera issue
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] MrSewerPickle:
My camera is broken going from 4.4.2 - 4.4.3.

4.4.2 State

------------------

- Rooted, stock kernel.

- Unlocked boot loader

4.4.3 State

------------------

- Non-rooted, stock kernel.

- Unlocked boot loader.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] bigdbag:
Same here. Broken ass camera. My phone is basically a giant useless tablet.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] egzthunder1:
I would love to know if people with locked bootloaders have the camera issue as well going into 4.4.3. Unlocking the boot loader normally wipes DRM keys and unless memory fails me, the xperia Z1's camera broke once the boot loader was unlocked. I am wondering if this may have something to do...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ddslee:
If DRM keys being wiped were responsible for the camera breakage, then revering back to 4.4.2 should not bring camera back to life.

Now that the 4.4.4 OTA is released without the camera fix, I really wonder if this broken camera issue will ever be fixed.

I thought the main point of GPE devices were ease of unlocking bootloaders. Google and Sony have totally messed it up if unlocking bootloader killed the camera.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] adfurgerson:
Have been in contact with Google support twice and their solution is to issue a replacement device.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ddslee:
Will Sony/Google issue a replacement device for a device with an unlocked bootloader?

Btw, have you tried going straight from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4? Will the camera stay functional?

Btw [MENTION=3549760]adfurgerson[/MENTION] thanks for your help. My wife just loves the phone. It is currently stuck at 4.4.2 and I have disabled notification for Google services framework and OTA update notification hasn't shown up for almost 5 days now.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] AccuNeal:
My wife and I each have a Z Ultra GPe, both upgraded to 4.4.3, both stock, not rooted, still locked boot loader. Both cameras function properly.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] adfurgerson:
I am going to relock with flashtool and hope for the best. I tried asking for a refund so I could order straight from Sony but they wouldn't go for that.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] egzthunder1:
Thanks. So, whatever it is, it is related to 4.4.3 and above looking for something missing due to the unlocked bootloader. Something that 4.4.2 is not looking for apparently.

And no, unlocked bootloader means no replacement unit...

You want me to put the hammer down?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] adfurgerson:
So are you saying even if I relock they won't replace it?

Also I can't recall reading anywhere about drm keys on GPe.

Edit... There is a warning that you may loose DRM keys when unlocking boot loader, I had forgotten about it.

Well relocking bootloader and updating to 4.4.3 and 4.4.4 still leaves camera broken.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] llxxjinxxll:
I have owned two GPE versions. The first one I unlocked bootloader and rooted straight away and updated to 4.4.3 after that my camera broke, the wireless display stopped working, and i couldn't use GPS while connected to bluetooth. I RMA'd that one and received a second unit, and i left it stock and didn't unlock bootloader and didn't root, it updated itself to 4.4.3 and everything functions. So I suspect that unlocking the bootloader is what screws with our phones. My problem is that i NEED root to use ARU (AppRadio Unchained lets me use my Pioneer in-car touchscreen to control my phone). Is there anyway to root without unlocking the bootloader? If we can replace our recovery without unlocking the bootloader i think we can achieve this.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] adfurgerson:
You returned it to Google without issue? Towelroot reported working for GPe on 4.4.3 and if I understand correctly it works for locked bootloaders. See post #5 of this thread it was posted before the Sony specific tool was posted so I believe the standard apk was used.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] egzthunder1:
Well, I am not saying it is the case, but drm keys being wiped and stuff stopping to work has been commonplace in the Z series ever since the Z was introduced. Also, if memory serves me well, I could have sworn that someone said that X-reality goes bye bye as soon as the bootloader is unlocked.

Having said that, these updates are looking for something that they find in locked bootloaders and that is obviously missing in unlocked ones. Hence, my suggestion for the Drm keys.

One other thought popped into my head yesterday. Back in my evo 3d days, we had an issue where if the correct hboot was not present, the Rom would simply not boot. Something else to consider.... I am leaning towards the drm being responsible though.

You want me to put the hammer down?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
You can now root with towelroot - see the thread in the general ZU section, this will allow you to back up the TA as well now.

---------- Post added at 08:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:46 AM ----------

This is interesting... 4.4 on the zu kept x-reality working if the bootloader was unlocked on 4.4

In GPe I don't think x-reality ever stopped working when the BL was unlocked

The next test I guess is to use the new root method, back up TA/DRM keys and then unlock on 4.4.3 or 4.4.4 and see if the camera breaks, then restore the TA and see if that fixes the issue.

After the **** with the Z1 and the broken camera on unlocked BL you would think that they would't make the same mistake again
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ddslee:
Has anybody ever been successful at resuscitating the dead camera once it started malfunctioning (besides downgrading to 4.4.2).

I have read a couple of people mentioning that their camera was fixed. [MENTION=2784807]DooMLoRD[/MENTION] and [MENTION=2854595]MrSewerPickle[/MENTION].

Could you please share with us how it was done???
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] egzthunder1:
One thing I noticed (fwiw) is that photosphere mode actually works. Lens blur is a no go and camcorder crashes the app once you try to stop recording. I have yet not tried panorama modes. Has anyone taken a logcat of what is going on? I am not rooted right now or else I would.

If memory serves me well, Doomlord's method involved flashing just /system and not the rest of the ota. This might point at a kernel issue....

I don't know anymore...

You want me to put the hammer down?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ddslee:
My guess is that the update patch breaks focus mechanism. Any feature that doesn't require focusing still works, such as photosphere or panoramic mode. Also, third party app that uses infinity focus still works just fine.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] adfurgerson:
I didn't try DooMLoRD's method myself, but remember someone reporting it didn't work for them.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] MrSewerPickle:
I think your right as I see a lot of CredMgr/Keys missing errors in the log when trying to do anything with the Camera on my unlocked device.

If this is the case then this has to be the most stupid thing I've been a part of in regards to locked/unlocked phones. I thought Samsung did some odd things with how their devices were structured but this is in a different league.

Why does taking pictures on a device require DRM keys? This all makes me somehow feel like I tried to unlocked a PS3 and take pictures with it. I thought the dumbest thing they did with this phones camera was not give it a flash, but I was wrong.

And end rant towards Sony.....

Is there GPe source available now to see if we can go about pulling this requirement out of it?

And also as a simple FYI if your default camera app gets stuck on video if you switch to it you can Go to Apps->Camera and clear the cache and data to get the initial setup with Camera preview.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] wyvernwaddell:
I just tried it and some change on 4.4.4. Oddly enough, if you just hit the button and don't try to use the auto focus it'll take a pic.. But it's out of focus... If you try to use the auto focus, it doesn't take a pic at all.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] chefp:
Thanks for trying it. Really wish Sony or Google would address this. Anyone know how to start a "petition" to get their attention?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ddslee:
Any fixes for the broken camera yet?

I am still at 4.4.2 (downgraded to get the camera functionality back) waiting for the fix.

Maybe Lollypop will fix the issue?

This is so freaking messed up. What is the point of making a Google edition if unlocking bootloader breaks one of the essential functionalities.

I swear this will be the last Sony device that I buy if 5.0.0 upgrade breaks my camera again.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] chefp:
If Android L still doesn't allow the camera to work on unlocked devices, I'm sending the Z Ultra back to Google for "warranty repair". They'll probably send a locked refurb device, at which point I'll promptly sell it on Ebay. If this wasn't a GPe device it'd make a teeny bit more sense that they would require a locked phone. But the whole point of a GPe is for devs to be able to experiment. Yeah yeah it's only the auto-focus that's broken, might as well say that a car is working just fine but can only run in 1st gear (sorry for the bad analogy).

To add insult to injury, Sony won't allow us to re-lock the phone (unless you've backed up the bootloader prior to unlocking, which few if any knew to do since other Android phones don't require that). The whole architecture of the boot & storage system is an ugly monstrosity. I hoped for better from Sony but should've expected the mess that they've made.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] gtshiftin6:
Camera works flawless on candyrom 4.4.4 build 1.62 newest its fast snappy no lag and yes my bloader is unlocked
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] egzthunder1:
Of course it does. The problem in the camera only happens for stock Roms with unlocked bootloader. Custom Roms are OK.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] chefp:
I had tried CM11 some months ago and the camera didn't work with that either. Looks like Candyrom is based on CM (via SlimRom). Have they fixed the camera with CM /AOSP kernel?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
Yes it was fixed a month, two or so ago, based on the Z1 camera fix
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] egzthunder1:
And Omni also has has a working camera for a while as well.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] chefp:
lollipop still broke

was hoping against hope that the ZU Lollipop build would fix the camera. I guess I expected too much from Sony to do the right thing and get rid of their silly DRM requirement for a freakin camera. Back this goes, and never again Sorny!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
So, you are running a device out of the manufacturers specifications, it doesn't work how you want, yet you still blame the manufacturer?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] chefp:
First, this is a GPE device and development/tinkering is par for the course.

Second, Sony provides instructions to unlock the bootloader, but nowhere did they say that it can't be re-locked (without backing up TA, which they don't mention either).

Third, all other devices I've owned have had the ability to re-lock the bootloader with a simple command.

Their policy is not customer-friendly. Quite the opposite. What's with taking sides with corporate and hating on the users?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] adfurgerson:
Just out of curiosity, did the camera quit working if phone was updated to 4.4.4 prior to unlocking bootloader. I understand that towelroot enabled rooting and backing up TA which wasn't available when I unlocked on 4.4.2.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
You should be able to relock with flashtool or fastboot, ofcause this won't restore DRM keys

They do give plenty of warnings that the divice won't function as intender:

auto focus is broken here and it was unlocked on 4.4.4 (I do have a TA backup though)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] egzthunder1:
Just to add to this, it happened on 4.4.3

Not gonna blame Sony for doing what they want with their hardware but if it is a gpe device, you are supposed to get the "nexus experience" without actually getting a nexus. Breaking the device for trying to use it as intended seems a little out of place imho, but as I said, it is their product and as you said... There are warnings everywhere (just nothing explicit about the camera though).

Aw well... I am happy on 4.4.2 anyways. Say, can anyone find a phone.apk for lollipop that works on KitKat? I want the dialer just because my phone spends half the day in landscape mode and that dialer does rotate...

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] chefp:
On the quotes from Sony that you cherry picked:

1) That's standard boilerplate legalese.

2) They reference the Z3 but not the Z Ultra GPE.

3) Most rational people would not consider auto-focus an "advanced" camera feature. That's among the most basic camera features these days. You might be able to make an argument for video, but again that's a basic feature nowadays.

There's a certain level of hackability expected with a GPE device. By that I mean tinkering with it (incl bootloader unlocking) shouldn't render basic features inoperable. I can't grasp why you fault users and take sides with Sony, when they are the ones who have broken the contract of good will.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ddslee:
I had mine replaced under warranty and they sent me a brand new, sealed phone as a replacement.

Anyone having this issue should flash the 4.4.2 OTA (instruction can be found in the forum), flash stock recovery, relock the bootloader using flashtool, and then have the phone replaced under warranty by Google.

The problem you are going get is that the games runs via a server - if the server states you must have the latest version of the apk installed then you will have to keep porting and fixing every little bug or problem each time the game is updated - I very much doubt anyone will have the time to do this

here is the logcat from the app with the problem - no one here will fix it sorry its just not worth the time - the only way you will get a fully working version is if the app owner makes it

Hi Guys.

There's a couple of apps that seem to come up as portrait even when my phone is on landscape.

Lock screen is one of them, also the phone app is on landscape but when I receive a call it goet to portrait.

Is there any way to fix this?

I've installed app settings, and forced auto rotate on phone, but still the same.

Maybe phone app is not the one used when on an actual call?

Any ideas?
