shady ezdownloader links

Is there a way for me to obtain these kernels without installing this shady ezdownloader thing that comes with downloading from dev-host?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] tardis_42:
Please excuse me if this is a stupid question, but will this work with Lollipop on a Z3 with an unlocked bootloader? Or is there a suitable alternative recovery for stock (not CM or AOSP-based) Lollipop yet?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] iShadow187:
for who have issue about WiFi in D6633

The problem is you start flashing kernel for F.1.74 and you kernel F.0.96 because of that wifi wont turn on

Solve:

1- Download D6633_23.0.F.1.74_CE

2- Flash it with Flashtool (to put the phone in Flashmode you need to hold vol down and plug the usb and everything should be done)

3- go back to first page in this post and download KERNEL IMAGE D6633 23.0.F.1.74

and flash it

everything will be ok ;)

USB OTG

Apparently I cannot mount an USB OTG in TWRP, tried with my Sandisk DUAL USB drive 16gb formated in FAT32 and nothing happens. Since I don't have a SD card, I have to had a lot of space free for the Backup.

Anyone tried the USB OTG and got it to work? (using a D6603)

base on my experiance in xperia Z, by unlocking bootloader you will lost DRM keys

one of the effect of losing DRM keys is losing Miracast / Screen Mirror, Direct Throw .

i donno if it also losing the PS4 remote play

if anyone can confirm in Z3 not losing any above feature by unlocking bootloader, then it will be great !

someone already make a complete list about losing DRM keys

[Xperia Z3 Android Development] erasat:
Been an Android user for years and rooted all my previous phones but I'm very confused about this, my first Sony smartphone experience, and I hope you can help me clearing this basic question that I can't seem to find an answer for.

I'm not looking to unlock the bootloader and root just for the key issue, but I'm receiving this Monday a Dual SIM D6633 that I'll use with T-Mobile, I've been reading and it seems that I'll come with a custom MEA firmware version, and it has been suggested to flash the new custom HK firmware version to use in the US, I have everything already, just waiting for the phone to arrive so I can do it, but my question is, if I flash that FTF file, even without unlocking the bootloader, will I lose the keys and will suffer for all the consequences of doing so?

Please remember, first time Sony user so I don't really know for sure what to expect, so I just prefer to ask (I've looking for the past daft but can't find the solidification answer) than just screw my phone without even use it first, so any help will be greatly appreciated.

[Xperia Z3 Android Development] perlmane:
This is my first Sony, usually a Samsung customer. I got it because it allows you to unlock the bootloader instead of sideloading. There was no warning about any functionality degradation, only loss of warrantee on the Sony site. I went ahead and unlocked and rooted. The reason I got the phone was for the excellent camera. Now I have a camera that does not even perform as well as the Note 3. So much for Sony. Never again will I buy anything from them. No wonder their financials are so horrible. They are more interested in protecting themselves than the customer.

23.0.a.2.105 - bootloader locked

I am awaiting a code to unlock my phone from o2 so I can use a 3 sim in myZ3. Once they unlock it from the network, does this mean they unlock the bootloader as well?

I have emailed the shop I took it into, but was hoping you guys might also know :)

EDIT: Also, what's the problem with the low-light issue- does the camera crash? Is it just back cam I presume ?

I had an update as soon as I switched the phone on and connected to Wifi, I presume this was from .93 to .105, does this have any baring on the bootloader? Could I factory reset back to version .93 and see if bootloader is unlockable?

Thanks,

Hi,

I did unlock the bootloader. Then I tried:

$ fastboot flash boot bootZ3monxtest01.img

writing 'boot'...

OKAY [ 0.878s]

However, there is no recovery and I cannot boot at all even in normal unrooted Sony-Android. I get just a black screen with backlight on.
