[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IanWinz:
Thanks for your fast reply,

- My phone was S-OFF (I don't know whether the flashing of the firmware can change this?)

- I flashed the following zip: 2.17.401.1-custom.zip, downloaded from the Android Revolution HD blogspot.

- I'll try to re-download the HTC drivers, but it would surprise me if this solved the problem, because it worked like 2 hours ago (before I flashed the firmware).

- I used a USB 3.0 port and Windows 8.1, however, I also tried on a Windows 7 computer with a USB 2.0 port, but still, no success.

Motorola used to be the one company that you could rely on to have car docks, home docks, and other accessories for every phone they released. The OG Droid, the Droid X, the Bionic, all of those had docks available at the same time as the phone. Where are the docks for the new Moto X? I can't even find any 3rd party docks. My docks for the old Moto X don't really work all that well, so now I'm left with nothing.

Anyone know of any good docks, home or car?

[X 2014 Accessories] tgerbracht:
There's a number of fine universal docks that look to be the solution for this phone. I googled it and searched Amazon top sellers to see several options, mostly aesthetic taste which you buy.

Bringing some bad news for those who already unlocked their bootloader.

But sony confirms bad image quality on z3 and z3 compact on unlocked bootloader due to DRM keys (some noise reduction algorithms and other may be lost.

If people just want to root their Z3, do they still need to unlock the bootloader?

My Z1 is rooted and the bootloader is still locked.
[Xperia Z3 General] diverblue:
Only if an exploit is found.
[Xperia Z3 General] electrash:
For now, only root methos is with unlocked bootloader. We will need to wait for a while to have proper root with locked bootloader.
[Xperia Z3 General] gregbradley:
Well, The Z3 is not listed as one of the supported devices for unlocking, so no fault of Sony here....
[Xperia Z3 General] electrash:
But some users confirm they unlocked their Z3 even there is no Z3 on list, as i remember. :confused:

[Xperia Z3 General] gregbradley:
Yes they have unlocked it, but if its not on the supported list and people then unlock anyway then what can you expect? Its not Sony's fault
[Xperia Z3 General] electrash:
Yes, sure. I didnt understand your point from first reply. Now i understand and i agree with you.
[Xperia Z3 General] chunlianghere:
anyway Z3 is already supported as i check it yesterday
[Xperia Z3 General] DennisDD78:
So what ? Z3 compact is in the list, but unlocking BL on Z3c broke functionality anyway. See the photos on xperiablog. So it doesn`t make any sense at all...

I`m so upset :(
[Xperia Z3 General] Destroyedbeauty:
BIONZ processing algorithm is replaced with a generic algorithm that reduces the quality. The issue was the same on the Z1 on pre-4.3 firmware.

Sony will fix this later, I hope.
[Xperia Z3 General] gregbradley:
I stand corrected, the Z3 is now in the supported list. It must be a recent addition
[Xperia Z3 General] chunlianghere:
but previously when z3 is not in the list, i try z3 compact, which still works. the code given is the same for both.
[Xperia Z3 General] arturiu:
I don't own a Z3/Z3c but if it uses the TA partition to store the DRM keys, then Backup TA should be used before unlocking the BL.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2292598

However, the Backup TA team did not yet included Z3/Z3c in the list of supported devices (see the above thread).

You may want to ask there if the tool works for Z3/Z3c as well.

If it works, you will be able to restore the DRM keys after.

But, I'd rather wait for a root exploit that doesn't need you to unlock the BL...
[Xperia Z3 General] 3Shirts:
That tool requires root so the Z3/Z3c isn't going to be supported until we get a root exploit. Everything depends on that right now.
[Xperia Z3 General] istux:
It's sure Backup TA would work properly, but the problem is that Backup TA

needs root

too.

That's why we need an exploit first. ;)
[Xperia Z3 General] Travisdroidx2:
Hello everyone, I was looking at this device as a new toy. However, unlocking the bootloader for me is a must with any device I buy. I have yet to own a Sony. Can anyone tell me how big of a difference is the camera once you unlock the bootloader? Is it a small difference or a major issue? Thanks in advance!
[Xperia Z3 General] electrash:
On xperia z3 is MAJOR. I would advise to wait for proper root method, and support from TA backup app to backup your DRM first, and then to test your self.

This way, if you dont like it, you can restore your DRM with TA backup.
[Xperia Z3 General] Travisdroidx2:
thank you very much for your reply!
[Xperia Z3 General] subhani:
Seeing as I was somewhat disappointed with the camera performance in the detail dept, the speed of the capture and motion blur, I was consoled to see that low light performance trumps pretty much every phone out there except the Lumia pureviews (808 and 1020). I'm saying this coming from an LG G2 with OIS wich had a pretty good low light module. So if unlocking the bootloader affects the performance in terms of low light, then it wouldn't leave the Z3 a leg to stand on. So wait for a proper exploit my friend.
[Xperia Z3 General] electrash:
OIS dosent always means better stabilization. I prefer software stabilization from Sony then any other manufacture OIS.

just look at this video (Its older, but anyone who understand OIS and stabilization overall says that Sony have best stabilization)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezvq6DLn3ho
[Xperia Z3 General] subhani:
I totally agree. That's actually what I said on another thread.

Plus, look at this video at exactly 1.00 minute into the video.

1. Sony's DIS is miles better than Apple's OIS.

2. Apple has better sharper video and details that the Sony lacks. Big disappointment. Also seems to struggle with focus on some zoomed in shots.

3. The mic on the Z3 is much better than Apple's. In fact almost all other phones have a better mic setup than that of Apple's.

[Xperia Z3 General] PunishedSnake:
Agreed
[Xperia Z3 General] nayliz:
Is it not possible to copy other DRM files to a unlocked device? Mine is unlocked and I'm very disappointed with the camera and the screen. That is why I choose the Z3.
[Xperia Z3 General] electrash:
No, you loose it forever. You can't get it back even if you send it to Sony.

Also, if you restore someone else backup, you will hard brick your phone.
[Xperia Z3 General] vidge1111:
That is not possible. You will hard brick your z3 if you do that.
[Xperia Z3 General] RockStar2005:
Haha.......... I couldn't agree more brother! lol

I saw a comment somewhere where the guy said there's ways to root your phone w/o having to unlock the bootloader. But he said you usually have to wait for someone to figure it out and post it up. That's one of the reasons why I'm 99% sure I'm trading in my HTC One M8 for the Z3 when it comes out here in the U.S. The M8 is great if you root it (i.e. getting harman/kardon mod but not the hk m8 phone which I don't like very much looks-wise, etc), but I feel like the Z3 is greater w/o having to root it.

I do think it's odd though that Sony seems so cool with their Xperia phones' bootloaders being unlocked, yet the camera gets screwed up when you do it. They should change that somehow but I don't know how. I guess do what the other companies are doing? I dunno. I wonder if maybe it doesn't happen 100% of the time?

RockStar2005
[Xperia Z3 General] electrash:
To be honest, my Z1 is completely stock. And i dont miss any feature.
[Xperia Z3 General] RockStar2005:
That's good to know man. Hearing that stuff just makes me want to transition over to Sony's Xperia phones even more. I already have a TV, blu-ray player, and stand-alone camera from them......... why not a phone too?! lol

RockStar2005
[Xperia Z3 General] vidge1111:
That is true, just wait a couple months for the root without bootloader unlock. Unlocking the bootloader will allow you to use custom roms, but I think the z3 stock is good enough, you just need to root to customize a bit more.

The xperia Z3 is a great phone, hands down.

[Xperia Z3 General] redbull123:
Don't you mean the iPhone 6's DIS? The 6+ has the OIS. I'm torn between these two phones atm and all I see from this video is that the mic is better and it zooms in further resulting in a lot of noise and grain. Of course the IS is a lot better on the Sony also, everything else goes to the iPhone imo. I'm a little underwhelmed by the pictures and videos I've seen so far captured by the Z3 to be honest.
[Xperia Z3 General] RockStar2005:
Vidge,

Yeah I agree. I rooted my M8 but if I get the Z3 I will make every effort NOT to root it since it doesn't seem like it needs to be anyway.

Yes I can't wait to check it out when T-Mobile finally releases it here in the U.S.!

RockStar2005
[Xperia Z3 General] KurtHoyle:
Unlocking the bootloader is a definite no no then in my opinion because the camera is already lacking...

Hope they improve it with an update, because it has potential!
[Xperia Z3 General] RockStar2005:
Yeah........ you may have seen in the threads here those articles saying that unlocking the bootloader somehow messes up the camera, so those who want to root (not me) have to wait until the "root w/o unlocking bootloader" for the Z3 instructions come out.

I've seen mostly great things about the camera, so I dunno.

Camera picture quality is a pure SHAME - with a still locked bootloader.

Seems like they used the Z2 camera software without any changes or adaptions to the new hardware.

Hard to imagine it could get even worse.

what I meant to say was, the phone is already good in it's stock state.

[Xperia Z3 General] dl12345:
To intentionally cripple a phone's functionality simply for unlocking the bootloader is unconscionable. I'd been waiting for the Z3 for months, turning down the chance to buy any of the other hero handsets on the market because they all lacked functionality (such as the One M8 with the ridiculously underspecced camera) or included useless functionality that I don't want or need (S5 with health nonsense, G3 with useless QHD screen that sucks up battery).

When the Z3 was announced, I thought it was the answer to my needs. I was gutted to see the news about the total destruction of the phone's capabilities if the bootloader is unlocked. This is a deliberate choice made by Sony. There is no good reason to do this. And it's not just the camera that's been broken but a whole host of functionality.

And let's make it clear: I didn't intend to flash a custom ROM. I intended to remain largely stock. However, I have an absolute requirement on all my phones to have root and a custom recovery installed. The root allows me to use Xposed and Xprivacy as well as root-level anti-theft. The custom recovery is for making nandroid backups and applying mods.

If i can't do this to a phone, I don't buy the phone. And for all intents and purposes, this deliberate crippling of the phone by Sony makes it unfeasible to unlock the bootloader (even if it IS technically possible).

Sony, in this case, has lost a sale. I cancelled my order yesterday. I feel fortunate that I was able to cancel in time. If not I would have Ebayed the phone. I hope many other people vote with their wallets to show this dinosaur that consumers find this type of behaviour unacceptable.

Sony Z3 CAM BEFORE LOCKED AFTER UNLOCKED..bootloader

I took all the precautions before unlocking and compare every single operation of the phone .... The resolution is unchanged, as the speed and quality of the cam fact nothing has changed! Following the benchmark gpu with you excellent results unchanged ..... snap dragon processor and 4K recording unchanged maintains excellent quality of recording on sd 128gb ultra 96 / s recorded in the hard case less than 29 minutes and 34 sec after which lowers the brightness by heating for 13 minutes before stops .... Same movie I watched on television 4k in the store via nfc sony led model of 4k is extraordinary ... Unique Difference when you turn on the phone loses 4 seconds of startup ... all apps work properly while locked often I find the app you war- ning abnormally and does not happen anymore! Maybe I'm lucky?
[Xperia Z3 General] RockStar2005:
I'd read that there is a way to root a phone without having to unlock the bootloader, but you have to wait until someone releases that information too.

RockStar2005
[Xperia Z3 General] dl12345:
It doesn't exist yet, but it will happen eventually. However, it's a horrible kludge and you end up fighting this war with the OEM where on each successive update they nullify the exploit. It reminds me of Apple jailbreaking. After one Apple device I'll never touch them again. Android is supposed to be pleasantly free of this DRM / lockdown / petty crippling nonsense

to the more experienced or knowledgeable users who may have dealt with previous sony phones...

do you think it is likely to be possible for these algorithms to be recreated, or other camera enhancement mods made, that will restore the camera quality down the line?

unfortunately my bootloader is already unlocked. not because i did it either, but because i was conned into buying a prototype z3. i have managed to address many of the issues (it came running android 4.4.2, had 1m wifi range and a whole bunch of other dodgy quirks), but it sounds like this is one shortcoming i won't be able to circumvent with stuff currently available from here. sad times :( give me some hope! :)

After that it stayed in the boot up screen for the longest and so I restarted and the same thing happened over and over again. I was able to bet back into recovery to re install the ROM wbich I did and tried it all over sgain but the same thing happened.
