[Xperia Z2 General] zodiac100:
Apart from better software support, the greatest issue I have is the devaluation of the brand. You see the z3 really isn't an upgrade but more a replacement. If it is an upgrade then I must have missed something and stand corrected. Sony is flooding the market with flashship devices and as a result these devices don't hold their value for very long. Like I said in my previous post, flagship for a year is worth more than one that lasts for 6 months only. Sony devices loose value and drop in price faster than any other flagships from other OEMs. For someone who likes to upgrade yearly selling the older device in the process, you'll always get much less for your xperia flagship as opposed to other devices. Simple fact!

Also, the policy ensures that Sony devices will always stop short of greatness as features get held back from one flagship released today to be included in the next flashship released in 6 months time. And on and on the cycle goes.

They need to consolidate their efforts. As it stands, it's all just spread out too thinly!
[Xperia Z2 General] sa3d12:
well 2 days ago i've just upgraded from note 3 neo duos to Z2... and i don't care about the Z3 as they assumed only to change names and design but nearly with same specs ;) ....

I have to admit that i admire my Z2 its a great device :D ..... thank you SONY :svetius:
[Xperia Z2 General] fccr1990:
No, I will wait for xperia Z5/Z6 or the iPhone 6+
[Xperia Z2 General] jonmorris:
The Z5 is out tomorrow and the Z6 due to be announced Friday...
[Xperia Z2 General] knoxploration:
And the iPhone 6+ will bend to your will today.
[Xperia Z2 General] nhuduy:
oh, i buy Z2..... Z3 is same same Z2, buy Z2 and port app for Z3 to Z2
[Xperia Z2 General] long2905:
I didn;t intend to, but then I stumbled on an amazing deal. After reselling the Z2 I have, the upgrade cost will be nominal.
[Xperia Z2 General] nealkoy:
while all the upgrades are greatly appreciated on the z3, the camera just still doesn't perform for me... e.g. slow shutter speed and refocuses everytime even when there's no need to. Sadly as a z2 owner, the competition does offer better value in terms of the camera performance. Having said that, the z3 is how the z2 should be from the very beginning.
[Xperia Z2 General] Pandemic:
Nope only screen, camera and design is different and nothing else and Z2 have a better tight design in my eyes so i get stick with my lovely Z2 ^^

Sent From My Personal MW Revolution On My Xperia Z2
[Xperia Z2 General] Hutchism:
Just brought a Z2. A happy upgrade to my old S3 :)

Z2 can be had for nearly half the price of Z3, so seemed like a no brainer...
[Xperia Z2 General] funky0308:
Especially now...

Z2 received 4.4.4 with exactly the same features like Z3...

Niw we have better looking device then Z3 (that's my opinion) and all new great things like DSEE and camera pause...

Can't wait Z4 and Lollipop... That'll be something...
[Xperia Z2 General] -Andyoid-:
Hehe, yeah. What are really the benefits on upgrading now with the New rom out? I feel I now have most of the Great stuff from the z3. Will wait for z4, I think.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dagarnothmax:
So I was trying to put a custom Rom on my Xperia and It bricked it, I unlocked the bootloader and installed cwm but I ****ed it up some how when installing the ROM. It won't turn on, nothing happens when i push the on button. doesn't vibrate or anything. When I plug it into my charger there is a red light but it goes away after about 15 minutes. I'm pretty sure its hard bricked, is there anything I can do? Suggestions are welcom. Should i send it to sony?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] TheSoleBulge:
First of all: Sony will probably not help you since you unlocked the bootloader.

Next: Have you tryed to to connect to a computer using Flashtool?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dagarnothmax:
Yeah, computer isn't detecting it or anything. just the red light
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] TheSoleBulge:
Ok.. Holding down power button and volume up at the same time?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dagarnothmax:
I've tried that and still nothing.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mez10:
did you solve the problem?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] balus3u:

Respected bleu8888,

1. Sir, I downloaded translation (that needs to be translated correctly) from Crewdin.net (because I am getting the link only from Crewdin.net) but if you check with deep study I translated Hindi words that a common man can understand easily which were untranslated and wrongly translated. There were many words that were translated wrongly means:

Please consider an Example (Not translation lines): English sentence: It is good Video Player and good decoding features.

Previous Hindi translated: आईटी इस गुड वीडियो प्लेयर एंड गुड डिकोडिंग फेअतुरेस|

My Hindi translation: यह अच्छा वीडियो प्लेयर और अच्छा डिकोडिंग सुविधा है|

Sir, my work is my pride. I never copy paste.

2. Sir, you closed the thread without getting my reply, and you mentioned that I am wasting your time, I checked every line of previous Hindi translation for approx. 2-3 hours a day and changed Hindi words which were untranslated or not correctly placed.

3. Sir you can compare all my files with Hashing Algorithms like SHA-512 etc., with previously translated. You will find files are different except 2 file that has only 2 lines.

4. Sir, I just not translated H/W, S/W or YUV, I translated many words and sentences also you can also check when you deep analyze.

5. Sir, my aim is to use good level translation, so that every Hindi person you understand, speak, write Hindi can easily understand and without any error or difficulty.

6. I don't have MX Player but all my friends use MX Player as they have high end phones.

7. You can also check that previous Hindi translated file is 53% completed and I completed to 100%.

Sir, I don't copy paste, I work by studying line by line, and translated words/ sentences where ever needed.

Why do you think I am wasting you time. I checked and studied line by line. And corrected many words and sentences which were needed to changed, please have a deep study, requesting you.

Sir you disrespected my work and time. I worked with Honesty and Dedication.

I corrected sentences or words which were not translated correctly. I passed which are translated correctly.

Sir please don't be angry.

I work for helping people.

I want to help my countrymen so that all my people can understand your software better.

Thanking You

Your Sincerely

Ashish Sharma
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
We will review your translations.

Once we have reviewed your translation, we will make some necessary changes if it's required. Till that be patient & don't create new threads...???
[A3000 General] PJMOR:
A couple of weeks ago, I bricked my A3000-F. I finally found a way to unbrick it.

Note: I also put the link for the A3000-H.

Requirements: A Windows computer, a program like WinZip to decompress files, a cable to connect your tablet to your computer, and (duh) your tablet.

Warning: If anything goes wrong, I am not responsible for it. In addition, all data on your tablet is already lost, or will be lost after this tutorial.

Download at the bottom of the post the required rar file for either your A3000-F or A3000-H.

Step 1: Decompress A3000 fix package.rar. Inside you should ind 3 comppressed files called R1 DRV, R1 Flash_Tool, and R1 target_bin. Decompress these files.

Step 2: Navigate to Control Panel and click on Device Manager. In device manager, go to Other Devices, expand it, and make sure MT65xx Preloader is there.

Step 3: Right click on it, and select Update Drivers.

Step 4: Click on the second option in the window that pops up.

Step 5: In the next window, click again on the second option, and select the driver that has the words multiple and serial. I don't know how it's called in English because I'm Spanish.

*

Step 6: Click on Have Disk

Step 7: Browse to the decompressed A3000 fix package, and select the decompressed R1 DRV.

Step 8: Select USB_Driver.

Step 9: Select your OS. In my case Windows 7. For Windows 8, too bad so sad.

Step 10: Now select 32 bits or 64. In my case 32.

Step 11: If prompted, click accept.

Step 12: Click next, then wait a little,you will get a success message, then close. After this, close all open windows.

Step 13: Navigate do the decompressed A3000 fix package, and go to the decompressed R1 Flash_Tool folder.

Step 14: Open up the Flash Tool program (The blue icon).

Step 15: Click on the Scatter Loading on the right.

Step 16: Navigate to your decompressed A3000 fix package, and open the decompressed R1 target_bin.

Step 17: There you will find 3 files. Select the MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc

Step 18: Now tick the check-box next to FAC, and then click those 3 letters (FAC)

Step 19: In the same target_bin folder as before, now select fac. (It may be called fac.img)

Step 20: Now tick the check-box next to DA DL All With Check Sum Then Click Download.

Step 21: Wait. A pinkish bar will appear at the bottom, then a yellow one, then a green circle will appear.

Step 22: Unplug your tablet from your computer and plug it in to a normal charger. Turn it on. When you first turn it on, it will be in chinese. Just tap on the first option and change to the desired language.

Step 23: Sit back and enjoy your reborn tablet.

[A3000 General] faissl:

I gonna need my tablet soon, and no other drivers are working! please upload your copy of "a3000 fix package.rar" or mention the link here.. thanks.
[A3000 General] PJMOR:
Sorry for being offline for so long, I've been studying for exams. Anyways I saw your reply. So, for the model F, here's two download links for the fix package:

https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&confirm=6K2G&id=0B2u6Nx1AQ_66Tzhrek05Q0lPWms and https://www.dropbox.com/l/0qB1QGrDHKDKZJed6U9Z5s

And for the model H there's this download link for the fix package:

https://mega.co.nz/#!3M1U3CCA!Jo5LDEKYeFLfjdCZNX1JVhkrbFcJJLgf7LL-f1r152g

If you find that the guide is complicated, I'm happy to remake one, now that I have a newer English pc. Hope this helps!
[A3000 General] faissl:
I can't understand! this is the same link of the rom from above! it contains none of the three folders mentioned above!

still no link for the fix package I'm afraid.
[A3000 General] PJMOR:
The files are there, it just may be a little hard to find them. Anyways, I'm repackaging the files, and it should be up and running in about an hour!
[A3000 General] Eppy epman:
I just un-bricked my A3000F, but it took a while. First you have to open up your tablet. And that is tricky.

Because of some reason my tablet lost contact with "SP flash tool" and as reckless as I'am, I decided to open it. And some how unplug the battery. Totally forgetting that there is a thing called Google these days, I started tearing and ripping, like monkey's do when they want to open an nut. Although I skipped the part where they use a rock.

And I opened it..........:victory:

I disconnected the battery and I started to run the "sp flash tool" from this post. And to every bit of my surprise, it found the tablet. Now I wasn't there yet, because now it gave me error code 8038.

Wondering what this code meant, I now remembered my ones good friend Google, and I started praying on my keyboard. Oh dear Google, holy is thy name. Please would you show me would you give me the answer to error code 8038. But like god has forsaken mankind a long long time ago, Google din't answer. Instead now he showed me how to open a Lenovo A3000. Thinking by my self, why Google why. And remembering the good old day's when Google showed me how to flash the ROM of my X-box 360, with just some bits and peaces. I started to feel some anger boiling inside of me, and I threw down my mouse. Accidentally pushing the format switch, and some how OK. And because my usb wiggled a bit, it started the format. And I was greeted by a green circle. So I thought to myself, what if I do the same with update. And again, a green circle. And after that i did the download, and it worked. My A3000F is up and running again. So this is what you have to do

-open your Lenovo A3000F after you removed the (15) screws.

-Start at the bottom on the side of the volume button and work your way around it.

-When opened it, there's a little white square on the left under your lence. Rip that out.

- And start sp flash tool. First format it, then update it and then you can download your stock firmware.

Good luck.......
[A3000 General] PJMOR:
Happy to see I helped!

My bad. I realized I hadn't included all the files in the A3000-H version of the fix package. Well, I fixed it. Here it is:

https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/#folders/0BybeKUqhknfDdDRvZnoxc05JLVk
[A3000 General] waynettcheng:
Hi, the A3000-H fix package dloaded frm mega, the content within it is different from the step you shown. Furthermore, the package which you upload to google drive no longer there. Is there any way to dload the A300-H full package and unbrick my tablet following your step? Hope to get reply from you asap. Thanks and have a nice day. :good:
[A3000 General] PJMOR:
Fixed the file. New download link at the bottom of the initial post.
[A3000 General] waynettcheng:
Thanks for the dload link.

I was able to follow until step 21. From here on, instead of yellow bar after pinkish bar, red bar appear with error. ]

1st picture is when I clicked "Firmware Upgrade"View attachment 3215169; 2nd pic is "Download" View attachment 3215170; 3rd pic is the error before my tab won't turned on. View attachment 3215171

Any helpful inputs will be appreciated. Thanks :)
[A3000 General] PJMOR:
The A3000 gives you that error message after unsuccessfully flashing the rom? If so, hit the "I'm feeling lucky" button, follow my guide on installing CWM (http://xdaforums.com/lenovo-a3000/general/custom-recovery-img-t2893011), and then just reboot into recovery and wipe your data partition.
[A3000 General] waynettcheng:
I couldn't press the "I'm feeling lucky' buttom because it seems t be stucked on that page. After restart my tab, it stucked at lenovo logo. Than I pressing volume and power button, it stucked in "meta mode".

After flashing , it fails and my tab couldn't turn on anymore = no display at all. Than I follow this guide till step 21 and flash tool pop up pic 1 and pic 2
[A3000 General] PJMOR:
Unfortunately, I'm stumped. I don't know how to fix that. Sorry

Hello, i have a bricked a3000F.

I download the F package and the pc detect the tablet as Unknow device. I force the driver to fit in to mediatek pre loader usb vcom (at port com 7).

i run the flash tool , gets the pink bar but then it gets the red bar and said it has no responce from the device.

is there something else to try?

[IMG="screen"]http://i62.tinypic.com/34jawp3.png[/IMG]

En pocas palabras, baje todo, la pc me lo detecta como dispositivo desconocido, pero logro recategorizarlo como mediatek preloader, ejecuto el flash tool segun el tutorial y paso la barra violeta pero luego me salen las barras rojas diciendo que no ha tenido respuesta del dispositivo. me perdí de algo?

U have to add drivers , which windows u use
[A3000 General] Ruby_Katana:
If windows 7 or earlier version (x86 or x64) open menu from pc choose manage then device manager then add legacy driver then locate mediatek preloader drivers

And choose to ibstall unsigned driver from message which pop

If windows 8 , 8.1 , 10 (x86 or x64)

Go to change pc settings then advanced start up , restart now , then advanced options , then start up settings , restart , then a blue screen of start up settings press f7 , then the pc will reboot

Do same as steps above in Windows 7 at device manager add legacy driver and install unsigned driver - mediatek driver-
[A3000 General] fedegil69:
I use windows 7 x64, when i upgrade the drivers, i have to force the compatibility to install the "mediatek preloader driver" because it only let me install the "mtk usb port" driver.

i dont know what is legacy driver

Tool DL Image Fail

Hey bro, thanks for the guide but I have an issue, When I flash the ROM, everything goes fine and the flash tool gives the green ring, However, when I start my A3000-H, it says Tool DL Image fail on the corner of the screen. What did I do wrong ?
