[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustPlayingHard:
Recovery is stored in the system partition where its protected by Sony RIC . You cannot hard brick a locked bootloader since you can't change the kernel or mess with anything else. z1 is still alive just Aosp ROMs are very hard to port due to barely no kernals so all development is done on Sony stock (Benefit for LB)

---------- Post added at 05:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:55 PM ----------

Also Dual recovery doesn't flash a kernal it just sends something to the system to process something then load into ram. If you reinstall a Ftf you lose recovery.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mischa_martin:
Why then you have to flash for example cwm recovery to boot? As [MENTION=2784807]DooMLoRD[/MENTION] said.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2632808

According to this thread you pretty easily can.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2574764

Maybe someone can explain me what [MENTION=3357461]zeppelinrox[/MENTION] wants to say...because I don't understand much of this ftf stuff.

I thought Qualcomm and Sony were pretty open source and developer friendly. Aren't they?

And I didn't see many custom stock roms too. :p

I hope you (or someone else) could still answer my questions. :D

mischa_martin
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustPlayingHard:
Nooo. On LB you can only Softbrick. Only go there were you device absolutely don't work..

When you install recovery is uses an exploit which enable to disable Sony Ric then install recovery

Yes Qualcomm and Sony are open, but the Z1 just got aosp support from Sony. Remember we need Aosp kernals which are hard to make.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mischa_martin:
Did you read that thread about the ftf brick?

Its a "club" of people who bricked their phones just by flashing ftf's.

I just don't understand what causes these bricks.

By the way, Im very grateful, that you try to help me although im irritating. :o

mischa_martin
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustPlayingHard:
You can brick if you flash wrong ftf. As long you can still get into flashmode voldown and plug usb . that means your soft brick. I have been there.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mischa_martin:
I had 2 hard bricks and countless soft bricks on samsung phones....I know almost every kind of brick. :angel:

I think you still not understand what Im trying to say. :D

mischa_martin
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustPlayingHard:
I've had the phone for 1 year. It says on the thread please read it...
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mischa_martin:
Okay.

I see, that these bricks are caused by flashing parts of the .290 ftf or failed battery measure.

Sorry if I bothered you. ;)

Just one question....

If I am on .133 can I flash .108 kernel to use that EasyRootTool?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustPlayingHard:
Nope. It checks build.prop you need to downgrade to .108 to root
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] notzippy:
Thanks for all your responses JPH, I learned more by reading this thread then going through the thousands of messages on the forum.

One more question though if I may, safestrap seems like a pretty good option for locked bootloaders given that you can install XZDualRecovery, yet I cannot find only a single post on this subject referencing a video from a year ago. Was it abandoned for a particular reason ?

Thanks

Hi Everyone,

As you know the dev team is making progress on the device repo for most devices, since I build for the D855, I want to bring you guys a ROM once bump is released, so let me know which ROM you want most and if I get permission from that ROM's dev I will post it here :)

Current status I've tested (all current device issues are the same on all ROMs, such as wifi)

Mahdi-ROM - very stable, no software issues

AICP - very stable, no software issues

Cyanogenmod - very stable, no software issues

AOSB - Working great now! being used as Daily for now by me

Vanir-AOSP - very stable, no software issues

Omni - being worked on

Team-Gummy ROM - Future

Pac-ROM - Future

Beanstalk - build issues, not tested yet

Paranoid Android - Works Great!

LiquidSmooth ROM - Working Great on D855

DirtyUnicorns - Being Worked on
[G3 General] hyeclass:
I'd like Cyanogenmod or Paranoid android because I see those roms getting updates quickly...
[G3 General] ipguy:
At this stage I'll take anything, honestly, but I'd really like to see PA.

I've heard good things about Mahdi though so I'll say Mahdi !!!

CM11 for sure.

It is fast, stable enough and update frequently.

Easy on initial installation and future updates.
[G3 General] sooti:
Ya I know there is an official CM dev who is already on it, so it will prob be one of the first out :)
[G3 General] lossah:
Right now, anything. :D I just want to be able to flash and try roms out. Any rom, or kernel with a working knock on feature. :P
[G3 General] Harelz:
Paranoid or CyanogenMod, stable, good battery life roms :) tyvm!
[G3 General] paratox:
carbon rom is not in the list!
[G3 General] DrakeSlayer:
Mahdi ;)
[G3 General] RafliXXX:
CM for sure.... But every rom would bee good too see ?
[G3 General] sooti:
Oh right, well carbon is in development by AngelBob,

So don't worry :)
[G3 General] denis111:
Normal CM but with additions to support this phone''s specific things like circle window cases and ir remote.
[G3 General] AndroidCity:
CM very stable ? :) There was a camera issue right?
[G3 General] Deleted member 5530936:
Paranoid Android has always been my favourite custom ROM. Since it wasn't in the poll I opted for CyanogenMod which is still pretty awesome.
[G3 General] sooti:
Thus thats why I said (all current device issues are the same on all ROMs, such as wifi)

Camera wifi BT not working correctly yet on D855, im talking about stability
[G3 General] sooti:
I'm building PA as we speak, seems to be the ROM of choice for many folks :)

Slimkat

Slimkat is the best nice to be have this on LG G3... please
[G3 General] oska3:
Mahdi is the best
[G3 General] easy_ci:
Yep CM or another AOSP-rom would be great. Hope the batterylife will be better?!

I'm coming from OneX and with Tegra3 the batterylife was worser with AOSP-roms then on stock-based ones... :/
[G3 General] glaudrem:
You will hardly get better battery life with AOSP than with stock if you haven't a Nexus device. Stock ROMs are more optimized in terms of battery. Search through forums of all devices and you will see. Anyway, maybe you trade minus of an hour of SOT for an improved performance or more functionalities.
[G3 General] Mennooo:
Gimmeh anything!
[G3 General] OUTbrain:
Slim ROM for sure..
[G3 General] znc62511:
CM11 and bring it to D851 too?

Mahdi is sweet on my nexus 5
[G3 General] Smittiegee19:
Man I hope the slim team gets cracking on this.
[G3 General] Vivasanti:
Good to see some dev going on!

People need to realise that these roms are not going to give them amazing battery life due to the fact that the main battery sucker is the huge but beautiful G3 screen :D
[G3 General] istinet:
Are there any custom ROMs out there, that we can test? Anything would suffice, that is not based on LGs stock firmware. Thanks. (i don't mind, if camera doesn't work, or if it has some bugs)
[G3 General] AbyssTrion:
Cyanogenmod or ParanoidAndroid please :)
[G3 General] teddy0209:
I'd say, just bring them all... =)

I have used all the roms you've mentioned except mahdi, so I definitely want to have it on the g3...

I really enjoyed using it on my late Nexus 5. Fast, stable and fits my needs...

I have working, bumped ROMa of the list on the first page, I need to get the green light from the device maintainers and bump devs to publish it, if they give me the ok I will post a few ROMs, that are bumped ;)
[G3 General] ipguy:
This is not an ETA but I'm just wondering what the holdup is?
[G3 General] sooti:
Look at the message above you, we must have posted it at the same time :)
[G3 General] ipguy:
No I posted it after I read your post, is that what your referring to?
[G3 General] sooti:
Well I explained a second ago what the holdup is, I am waiting for permission from the device maintainers + BUMP Devs + ROM devs,

You can't just post other people hard work without permission first ;)
[G3 General] betold:
Slimrom or PA and I think the G3 would be such a beast...
[G3 General] ipguy:
I get that dude, I guess I should have been clearer

What I was really asking was, what's the holdup from there side?
[G3 General] sooti:
If your asking about BUMP , its because they are working on the site, but autoprime bumped my kernel so its good to go.

If you mean to give the green light, I only asked today, I've been testing the device for a week to make sure its stable enough to be used as a daily driver.

I'm hoping in a few hours (USA time for them), I will get a reply. I already got premission to post the ROM itself, just have to make sure bump devs and device maintainers are ok with it, autoprime may say no because he's afraid of LG closing the exploit OR invisiblek may say no because he feels the device repo isn't ready and he wants everything including camera to work.
[G3 General] amd-dude:
Honestly I'd take anything, coming from a galaxy nexus being able to flash to my hearts desire the g3 is depressing, If I had to choose I'll take cyanogen or beanstalk.
[G3 General] CroW_D:
You already got some answers from the devs?

Gesendet von meinem Nexus 5 mit Tapatalk
[G3 General] sooti:
Yes... sadly for now its a no,

I think device dev wise it would be disrespectful to the hard working device maintainers and devs to release it while camera isn't working (main feature in this phone) and also bump devs do not want more bumped stuff released out of fear of LG patching the bump even faster then they are.

Just a bit more patients, we have come this far :)

Oh and I got gummy-rom built and running (after a whole day of dealing with build errors ;) )
[G3 General] ipguy:
You know I really appreciate the update but it's rather painful when just throw our statements like...

Oh by the way, Ive been playing with another ROM you guys came have yet

:)
[G3 General] sooti:
Its more like testing then playing, I have a whole array of roms ready to be built once we get the green light
[G3 General] ipguy:
Any news?
[G3 General] Skin1980:
I agree totally but not on the bump side. Since there're some recovery img bumped, lg can work with them if they want to patch how bump works.

But hey, it's a team codefire's work, so we must respect them and wait.
[G3 General] sooti:
OK Guys,

So you voted, and since CM is already out and Omni is currently having issues on our device, I will upload Mahdi Rom which I am testing right now (no sound messup this time ;)) and after that pacrom ;)

Fun continues

Yeah, it'll take time for him to get it all working I dare say.

I installed it, it's flashing fine. However I've noticed 2 issues when using it.

First is the colour rendering of the LED isn't accurate, especially in the cyan range. Put turquoise, sea green, light green and they all come out the same shade of light blue, no matter how much I try and customise it.

Secondly when changing the sleep mode settings, I set it to stop "vibrate only" when it's enabled, leaving the LED and the sound entact. Unfortunately it disabled not only vibrate, but sound as well even tough the tick box was left unticked.

I might switch the logging on, and pass over my findings. Andrew is usually pretty good at responding to any issues to be fair.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brownie2k:
I had the exact same problem when i installed the Stock S5 Final for Note 3 on my phone. Everything appeared fine at first, but i had no sound and the phone was rather laggy. Checking out the baseband and IMEI gave the whole null etc. Even flashing back to stock didn't sort it out. I too had no backup and the sorts, as i'd just bought the phone and wanted it rooted and running custom roms (fortunately i know how to root/flash well). Do you have any sound when booting the phone up? If not, then it looks like you may have the same issue i had.

What sorted it out for me was flashing the newest modem. As soon as i flashed the latest N9005 modem (I have the International Note 3), all started working well and the IMEI returned. I'd suggest trying that route if all else fails. Flash the modem in Odin, then return straight to download mode again and flash the modem again. That usually makes sure it flashed properly.

installed and running on my Mi2s for a while and then my screen got cracked. Long story short, 2 month later i'm back to my Mi2s and CM11 does not start, it gets stuck on CM logo boot animation for a very long time (i think the longest i let it run was about 10 minutes).

Things i've tried with the same result:

DATA WIPE / FACTORY RESET, then re-install

DATA WIPE / FACTORY RESET, and installing other simialr ROMs: Omni, Gummy, Lungo

Any suggestions?
