[Moto 360] HolyAngel:
The reason why you can't root 5.1.1 is because system is mounted as squashfs instead of ext4 for everything to fit.

Can alter fstab in ramdisk of boot.img to mount as ext4 but you'd have to format system and have a debloated(literally won't fit everything that comes stock) rom of 5.1.1 to install on it right after. I've got all of it done but haven't debloated yet. I'm just not sure if I remove the extra built in apps, like fit and whatnot, if I can still get them once I bootup...
[Moto 360] zephyr0025:
Do you mean that it is able to root 5.1.1 right now??

have you made it?
[Moto 360] HolyAngel:
I haven't quite tested what I made yet. But it can be done with custom rom made off this latest build and boot.img with system as ext4 in fstab.

Guys i have a note 3 and its working fine no problem software wise or hardware the thing is the cell i bought runs sim but not g3 y is it because of IMEI or its something else????? all the time E not H+. Any help Experts and users
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beefheart:
Your post doesn't really correspond with the thread title where you talk about a changed IMEI and Serial.

In relation to the lack of a 3G signal (I think that's what you meant in the post) the first thing to check is what Network Mode your phone is set at. Go to Settings -> Connections -> More Networks -> Mobile Networks -> Network Mode. Make sure 'GSM Only' isn't selected. I would select 'LTE/WCDMA/GSM (auto connect)' myself. If that doesn't work or if it's already selected then it's possible you don't have a 3G sim, although given that this thing takes a micro sim I find that highly unlikely.

Also, are you sure you're in an area with a 3G signal?

yesterday was searching the ye old internets to find ways to increase the volume of my phone (mainly with headphones) and found a video about using ES File Manager to edit mixer_paths.xml (Device/System/Etc/Mixer_paths.xml) and the lines i edited were

<ctl name="HPHL Volume" Value="9" />

and

<ctl name="HPHR Volume" Value="9" />

when i tried changing the both values from 9 to 15 it would let me put one character for every character i deleted so i removed a space from behind the "<" in "<ctl", (which was a bad move obviously) and i saved it, rebooted it and noticed my phone was lagging like hell and when i tried doing anything that required sound, sound wouldn't play and it would freeze up, i also tried with headphones.

so i tried editing the file back to normal and all i did was change 3 characters so it wasn't hard to remember what i did, so i put it back to normal, saved it, and rebooted my device and it did the same thing so i said **** it and factory reset my phone

it wasn't lagging anymore but my sound isn't working at all now.

i have no idea what to do, and there aren't any custom/stock ROMs for my phone on the internets

Dear All.

I bought my HTC one used phone from Dubai last week and got back to Jordan. The phone is locked with pin, and nothing changes with or without sim card. The phone is originally from Us with Verizon brand. I tried to use HTC chat service and they tried to help resitting the device to factory settings and even I still get the same situation. Any body can advise me what to do in order to get my device unlocked. Thank you.
[XDA Assist] Darth:
Hi,

Sounds like a used phone to me, where someone has set a pin lock screen. If so, usually the phone needs to be completely wiped and stock firmware flashed to it.

But for other opinions , please ask in your device section, here....

I'm not familiar with that exact phone, but perhaps you are talking about SIM unlock pin? If so, you need to likely purchase one on a cell unlock site on the internet, since Verizon won't do it if you're not a customer.

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] czguy:
I am new to dealing with DRM keys and Sony's TA partition and I ask for a little understanding with my dumb questions.

I bought a white Z3 Dual (D6633) for my wife and immediately unlocked bootloader and rooted the phone. She is super happy with it since speed of the phone and camera quality is a big upgrade from HTC Sensations we both own and used until now.

Reading all this stuff about camera issues after unlocking bootloader + other things that stop working makes me really concerned that I have inadvertently and significantly crippled her phone... On the other hand having a root is absolutely critical for me and so far all phones in our household ended up with custom ROM eventually since manufacturers don't support phones with the new software forewer.

To be honest, I think I've missed saving TA partition option completely while following root guide at http://xdaforums.com/z3/development/root-stock-kernel-twrp-v01-test-28-09-t2889794 and I've began to wonder if it would be possible to transplant DRM keys from other Z3 with locked bootloader? I am assuming that each phone has an unique set of keys but if I were to move them from one device to a second identical one and therefore there would be no two phones using same keys, would it work or are they locked to the specific IMEI? Although Z3 Dual has 2 IMEIs and only one was asked for while unlocking bootloader.

What I plan to do is to get a second Z3 Dual for myself now but with copper finish and transplant ALL software to my wife's phone. I am quite sure that she will be fine with stock ROM forever but I tend to mess with hardware I own a lot and reflash ROMs very often and I am willing to give up a little bit for these reasons, although while learning how much one needs to give up with Sony, essentially significantly crippling the phone in the process I begin to question if I should give Sony any more of my money...

I am really hoping that some developer will be able to create a ROM restoring most of those lost features in the process.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bb_hershey:
If you have read enough, you will know that taking other's TA to restore will result a HARD BRICK of your wife's phone.

Anyhow, I am also interested to know if there's another way out to restore those lost functions. Do update if you found any alternative method :o
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waylaidwanderer:
The best thing you can do now is to give her your Z3 and take hers instead. She might not be happy when she finds out you accidentally crippled her phone.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electrash:
There is no way, and there will not be way to restore DRM keys which you didn't backup.

Even if you send it to Sony.

We had fight with this since xperia arc (me personal) and without hope.

Just give up, change your new phone with her and learn something from this.

Wait couple of months for proper root.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] czguy:
I may give up on Sony

Well, it seems that there is nothing I can do now. As I've mentioned I've never dealt with DRM (I get clean content only - years of ripping CDs/DVDs, etc.) and that's one of the reasons I would never buy Apple products for example.

I don't think my wife will ever realize that she is missing anything because I gave her modified phone already, therefor she has no way to compare and as I've mentioned she is super happy with it as it is.

As far I am concerned, I think I will have to seriously reconsider buying another Sony product ever again. I could not care less about DRM and no access to Sony store, however, inadvertently crippling unrelated functionality by unlocking the phone so I can truly own hardware I've paid for is not acceptable.

As it has been said, it is a lesson for me. It's really disappointing because I have believed that I have finally found a truly flagship product with dual SIM functionality...
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Well, I can only point out that Sony do tell you this

http://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/unlock-yourboot-loader/

I get that from a first hit of a google search on "Sony unlock bootloader"

I understand your frustration, but I have been with Sony for years and I was aware of this potential problem. If I ever change OEMs I will ensure I treat myself as a noob again and do all the legwork and research I should do before diving in.

I know this does not help you, but I am just trying to get across that the information is out there.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonshipman:
If she doesn't know then what's the issue? Crippling means that the user is hampered by a loss. Her phone isn't crippled by any stretch of the imagination. Now if she tries to use miracast and it doesn't work, then you can say it was crippled, but if she never uses the feature then she's no worse off.

As far as restoring the TA partition, that's null and double null. The keys are encrypted using the hardware of the phone (likely the IMEI) so other signed items will not work. Your best bet is Android L. A completely rewritten Camera stack will be introduced where devs have complete control over the camera's hardware. So some enterprising dev might be able to write a camera app that exceeds the stock camera anyways. As far as anything else, that can be added via opensource alternatives that work fine.

You should be able to return it to the store and swap it for another.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3Shirts:
This is not a personal attack but I'm getting a little bit fed up with reading all these posts about how it's Sony's fault that people f****d up. They clearly advise against unlocking and state that features will be lost. Ok they don't list exactly which but you accepted the risk when choosing to unlock.

I have had a Z3 since release day and I haven't unlocked the bootloader because I read up on it and found that the loss of DRM keys breaks too many things. I had no more information available than you so don't blame Sony for your lack of caution.

I always used Nexus devices before so, like you, I normally unlock and root straight away BUT I exercise due diligence when I get a new device and look into any potential problems first.

This is not Sony's fault, it is yours. Chalk it up to experience.

While we're on that subject, you really ought to give your phone (assuming it's still locked) to your wife. Leaving her a device you have degraded on the basis that she probably won't realise is pretty lousy thing to do.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] czguy:
Thank you guys for your responses. I must admit that I have neglected in-depth research about this issue beforehand. I never cared about loosing access to a specific OEM store and giving up guaranty. After years of unlocking phones and messing with custom ROMs I became overconfident and did not consider degrading so much functionality while keeping stock ROM... Obviously putting a custom ROM on it would be an entirely different story.

I guess this thread may serve as cautionary tale for others ;)

In any case, coming from HTC phones where ROM cookers managed to shoehorn Bravia engine and also some Sony audio enhancements in to it, I really have a high hopes that some custom ROM will restore most of the features...
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] czguy:
This is a bit personal, however, it really depends how you look at it and I don't feel that it was a lousy thing to do. Her having zero technical inclination or understanding and using phone mainly to chat and post some pictures on Facebook, I don't think there was any great harm done. Besides, while wasting too much time with Facebook she has many other exceptional qualities :D

I am the person who deals with anything electronics related in our home and by messing with phones we own I have managed to extend their functionality far beyond OEMs contribution. And as I have mentioned before, I do hope to continue to do so when Sony stops releasing a new software for this particular model.

This is a definitely a good lesson for me, it was a rush job, I've got her this phone for her birthday and it was delivered the same day I gave it to her. I needed to to obtain the root ASAP as she uses the specific software that does not work without root access.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3Shirts:
Yeah, that bit was personal, lol!

I just meant that if you still have a locked one, it would be the chivalrous thing to do to give her that and root it with later when an exploit is found that doesn't kill the low light camera performance. If she's happy though, no harm down I suppose.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] czguy:
I am currently really reconsidering if I should go with Sony for my personal phone as well. I am still a big HTC believer (not a fan anymore, they sucked for a few years) and I may stick with HTC Sensation for a little bit longer. By flashing a custom ROM on it, it does everything I need it to do and easily compares with features to todays phones while being 3-4 years old model (antique).

There is a bit more being affected by unlocking bootloader than just low light performance.

http://xdaforums.com/z3-compact/general/loss-drm-keys-t2890936

It's more than I would expect: Bravia Engine (X-Reality, Super Vivid), S-Force Front Surround...

What attracted me to Sony was definitely dual SIM capability (there are practically no other phones with this feature that would work with North American frequencies), waterproofing and having quite impressive guts. HTC has some catching up to do still.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Well, there is still hope. On the Z1 focus on the camera was lost when unlocking the boot on 4.2 with no way to get it back if you had not backed up the TA.

However, once 4.3 came along that fixed the issue for people unlocking and for those who had previously unlocked and lost the ability for the camera to focus.

So, in a future update Sony may fix this issue, or they may not. But hope is not lost
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3Shirts:
That was an actual bug though, so they fixed it. This is due to loss of DRM keys so is by design. They might do something but it's unlikely, the DRM keys are there to protect their algorithms
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] czguy:
Still weird if you ask me, one reason I am in trouble is because I have never experienced and never expected reduced functionality with other OEMs.

Hi guys and a sincere thanks for the work done on this ROM.

This is my first "messing around" with an android device and handling speed with this ROM has strongly improved from the original 4.2.1.

I followed all procedures carefully, for some of them I went through several instructions regarding different apps and everything went well first attempt.

Now, for what's not as should, probably my mistake:

- installed #035

- installed gapps KK4.4.4

- not able to view storage contents after install

- needed to install an file manager

- flash pen can be seen in USB storage, but am unable to do anything with it, not even the file manager "sees" it

- file manager does see the SD card

- not able to transfer contents from SD/USB to pad storage

Any ideas as to what's wrong?

What other data can I give you for a better understanding of what's happening?

I want to use Tap Pro Launcher
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kloan:
I picked up a used HTC One M7 yesterday, locked to T-Mobile, thinking I could do what I usually do, buy an unlock code for $4 on eBay and use the phone.

Problem is, when I tried to get the unlock code, sellers told me they couldn't find the unlock code for the IMEI I gave them.

So I compared it to the one on the box, and it is different.

I loaded up bootloader, and saw it's unlocked, so now I know someone messed with the phone.

My problem is this:

If I want to use an official unlock code, it will only work with a stock ROM. Now, in order to change the IMEI back to the original one, I have to root (already done) and switch S-OFF. However, when I attempted to run Firewater, it told me I have to try a different kernel, because the one that's installed has an anti-firewater lock.

If I change the kernel, the ROM will no longer be stock, and then I won't be able to use the unlock code anymore, correct?

I did find another way to unlock the phone which uses a custom Config.dat file, but that's a last resort and I'm not certain if it will work or not, so I'm not really sure what I should do at this point to actually get this phone unlocked.

Originally, my plan was to unlock it and then install Cyanogenmod.

Can someone please help? I've spent hours on this today already and I'm running on empty.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kloan:
Ok, I got the unlock code and tried it but it says it's invalid, so it definitely won't work with the modified IMEI (wasn't really expecting it would).

So I'm left with the challenge of reverting the IMEI back to factory. In order to do that, S-OFF needs to be set, and for that I need to run firewater, however, this is what I keep getting:

ERROR: kernel contains HTC anti-firewater patch!

****** Try again with a different kernel ******

I've tried installing the elemental kernel, and it gives me the same error.

I'm running 4.4.3, Sense 6, bootloader 1.57
