[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bitsnpieces:
Hi,

Not sure if I'm in the right place, but I have the Sony Xperia Z and recently got it rooted to the Cyanogenmod, but not quite liking it.

My dislike isn't necessarily the firmware itself, it is that I really like the Sony-made functions, specifically the camera (it's better quality than what Cyanogenmod is giving me)

So my question, if I install the official firmware back onto the phone, is it still rooted? Can I still go into recovery mode, for example?

I see XZDualRecovery on my memory card, as long as I keep it there, will recovery mode work?

If the only way to keep these stuff working is use a custom firmware, then out of the many firmwares out here, which one still uses the Sony features? Which one is actually based on the official firmware?

I see a lot but all the new terms and options out there is just confusing.

Thank you.

Please do not post any thread like this in here. Its A development Thread. Pls read some rules before posting in xda..

And now u r in cm 11. After flashing stock firmware u will lost root and cwm recovery. 100℅. Otherwise download any stock rom and flash it. Pls don't ask which rom is good. All roms r good.

Best regards..

Hi, thank you for your response.

As mentioned, I don't know if I'm in the right place. I just noticed the other sections; I'm happy for moderators to move this to the correct place.

Also, I think you misunderstood my question.

Yes, I know all custom firmwares are good - but I'm asking which one is still using Sony's features? I really want to have the Cybershot quality of photos.

If there is a custom firmware out there, which is it? I ask because it's confusing as I'm new to the various terminologies used here. EG. http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z/orig-development/kma-cm-11-101-sony-kernel-blobs-t2708325

Does that mean it's still using all of what Sony offers, then more? Or just meaning this is for Sony phones?

So my concern again is, which custom firmware is still using Sony's features?

If there's none, then thank you for answering my other question - I guess if I decide to go back to the official firmware, I will not have all the features of a rooted phone, which is unfortunate. But i just had a thought, I remember during my initial rooting stage, before installing CFW, it was all rooted and all. Does that mean, if I go back to OFW, then root it again, as long as I don't install a CFW, I can still use the OFW with rooted features? (as in, download superuser and stuff like that to use)

But yes, please, any moderators out there, feel free to move this to the correct section. Sorry.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bitsnpieces:

Awesome Orangewanted - thank you for the link. :)

[MENTION=1087119]K9998[/MENTION] - yep, that's what I did in the end - took some time to get it all working but super happy with what I have now. Also been reading that Sony's 4.4.2 KitKat has problems so I'll probably be on 4.3 for a while, also because it still has some sort of SIM support which I prefer to use...
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mario210:
Use .233 firmware

You can use .233 firmware and flash true Flashtools. I dont see any problems with 4.4.2 Sony Firmware ( not acording to battery drain, but its google fault not Sony ) Here is the link Firmware .233
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bitsnpieces:
Awesome! That's exactly what I was looking for (of course, previously had no idea how to do it, but worked it now, and didn't know where to get the stuff I wanted, which now there is).

However, my biggest beef is that, from what I understand, Google removed SIM card support in KitKat? Because my contacts are all on SIM (and though I can save it to card, and then just transfer them over to KitKat contacts, I don't like linking my Facebook and Skype accounts, etc, into my contacts... Thus when I was using Cyanogenmod... Contacts was just a mess), does Sony's KitKat version still support SIM usage (incase Sony worked out a way to keep it working)?

It'll have the Cyber-shot camera which I'm happy about (presuming they kept it in KitKat), but SIM is the next big thing for me...

Oops looks like the hyperlink didn't work.

I am too new to post links. Type www . datafilehost . com / d / 58831a1e without the spaces.

I granted it root access then my phone restarted, then the normal galaxy note 3 white text appeared but then the phone crashed.

I went into recovery mode, however now if i try go to recovery mode it simply restarts the phone one again then crashes.

I can't even reset it now since i can't get into recovery mode (this may be due to me (noob) accidentally pressing restart with ADP or something like that).

My phone is a galaxy note 3 (rooted with kingo root) SM-N9005 (got this mobile phone from a1 . net on a contract).

Ah, if you only knew what you were talking about...

Sammobile is not directly from Samsung / the manufacturer and they have used rapidgator as one of their upload sites along with terafile as their official uploads and most of the guides you find just link to those sites. Plus if you understand how Odin works, you know that it checks the md5 first to assure the file is not corrupted. That and the OP wanted instructions, which you didn't bother helping with either.

Is this the same as your screen when it boots " http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2425693 " look at the 2nd screenshot . On the thread you post its not clear if bootlogo is part of boot.img(kernel). If it is them just install your stock kernel. Or if you wanna make sure re install your whole firmware via odin.

I just saw you post in that thread how did it work?By the way just to be sure back up you EFS folder in your sd card and your PC.

Ok! In the thread you post tanker 32 mentioned that boot logo is found in" Param.bin " which I check is part of bootloader. In official German firmware I have for N8000, param.bin can't be found, but in the leak version here " http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2730188 " look for " BL_N8000XXUDND5.tar "or here " http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2762418 " look for "bootloader" ,you can download it and check that they have Param.bin.

I'm not sure mate, but according to that thread you post its in the param.bin ,which I just check using root explorer in " dev/block/platform/dw_mmc/by-name/PARAM " , then by using tar viewer of root explorer I found there is a logo.jpg inside the size is 51.71k. Can you check on your if it has the same size as on mine?Maybe we can ask expert about this if we can extract that param.bin and I can share mine with you to try to install in yours if you have N8000. By the way did you try to install the stock bootlogo here " http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=51276027#post51276027 " ? My theory is the picture you install is big, maybe you can try to install back the stock.

That is for kitkat mate but for N8000,what is your tablet?Which one did you try to install? Read my other post mate . I have param too and opened it using root explorer's tar viewer it has logo.jpg inside. If you can get root please check the size of the logo.jpg so I can compare on mine.

3. According to instructions from this link http://www.teamandroid.com/2013/03/13/update-htc-desire-z-android-422-aosp-jelly-bean-custom-rom/2/, in CWM recovery, I wiped data.

4. Then I installed Custom ROM AOSP 4.2.2 zip and Gapp received from this link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2163579

After that, and Now, no matter how I try, my Desire Z cannot boot anymore and hanging only at HTC logo white screen.

-I can only go to fastboot mode and go to CWM recovery 6.0.45.

-I tried wipe data, cache, dalvick cache from recovery, but still cannot boot.

-I saw s-on when I power on at bootloader mode. I don't know how to root and make s-off.

-I cannot use ADB because I cannot boot and my adb cannot find the device in bootloader/fastboot mode.

-In CWM mode, my adb saw it as "SH118RT01215 recovery" with adb devices command.

-So with CWM mode, When I run "adb shell cat /dev/msm_rotator" command, I received "cat: read error: Invalid argument"

-When I run "chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/fre3vo" after "adb push", it shows "no such file or directory"

Being you are s-on, after flashing a custom ROM in recovery you need to boot into bootloader and flash the kernel via fastboot

Unzip the ROM, extract the boot.img

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot reboot

After this when up and running I highly suggest relocking your phone and following the steps to downgrade and root via gfree
