Hey thanks for the latest release.

I currently have Slim-4.4.2.build.5.4_LBL-UNOFFICIAL-20140527 installed on my sp.

Do I need to wipe data/factory reset before update to the newest version or can I directly install it from the zip thru CWM?

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Babyrasta:
Which gapps do you use?

I met a play service issue, due to bad download of the gapps...

To answer to kwstas, in slimroms, root must be enabled in dev options, root access: apps & adb

---------- Post added at 04:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:14 PM ----------

In my case, i'm meeting 2 issues. I want to ask before flashing again: does anyone have the network mode tile? I have the LTE one, but can't find the 2g/3g one...

Also, am i the only one facing problem to access the external sd? It is shown in storage menu, but can't find it in root browser..
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkat:
I had installed the slim normal gapps provided with the v5.4 ROM.

Didn't have any problem till today when I updated the play music app.

One more question...

Am currently on the v5,4 slim ROM. Do I need to clear data/factory reset or can I directly update to the new version?
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Babyrasta:
Slim team always recommend to wipe at least system partition, cache & dalvik!

And don't forget to download the new gapps package ;)
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spasik:

How did you solve the art problem (optimizing at every boot) ?

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkat:
Thanks :) will install the new gapps after updating..:)

Sorry for so many questions.. Am new to this... Wiping system partition would wipe all the apps that I have currently installed right?
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Babyrasta:
Nope, apps are deleted when you wipe data partition.

No worries for the questions, as you're in the right place :)

Just a warning, as you'll gap between 5.4 and 8.8, it's possible to meet some issues. If you have some problems, i recommend you to full wipe and flash again before reporting anything.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkat:
Thanks [MENTION=4562313]Babyrasta[/MENTION]. Better to do a full wipe. Dont want any problems. :)
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkat:
I installed the ROM after doing a full wipe. The ROM is very nice:)

I too didn't have the network mode after flashing. But I was able to add in the options. When we long press on the settings icon it gives the options to add the new tiles.

About the storage am not able to see the internal SD in the file explorers. Only the external SD card. Although in settings->storage both are visible. I guess this ROM only uses the external SD card as internal to install the apps and everything. OP has mentioned this post. Is there any way to use the internal memory also?
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Babyrasta:
Ok. So i'm the only one to access to my internal instead of my external sd... Weird!

CWM freezes at data wipe

Hi!

I've just downloaded this SlimKat ROM, but at the very beginning of the installation, in CWM, the screen freezed when it was wiping data.

The last lines were:

-- Wiping data...

Formatting /data...

Formatting /cache...

And now I can't do anything, it's like this for 45-50 minutes now, my phone doesn't react to any buttons or swiping on the screen.

Could anyone help, please? :(

EDIT:

Problem solved. It seems, I had to wait for a nice 65 mins for CWM to complete. Now everything works just fine, ROM installed correctly. :)

I have an 8125 and what I like the most is that there are a bunch of excellent custom ROMS available. Alot of them have many tools and tweaks which make the phone alot better than stock. I've tried many and like the customizations (i.e. Molski and Faria's ROMS).

However, the speed of the 8125 is pretty slow. I want to "upgrade" to HSPDA and 400mhz processor with the Hermes. Unfortunately, I realize that the Hermes is newer and the development is not as advanced. But will there be custom ROMS cooked up similar to the Wizard ROMS out there?

From what I've read, there are a few roadblocks. But I don't want to spend $450 on a phone and have to wait and wait for HTC to release updates. You guys on this site are simply amazing and I would rather use your ROMS.

Thanks for any inputs before I take the plunge in getting the Hermes.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] aadadams:
Roadblocks are falling, and custom ROMs are actually being assembled. There are still issues with flashing them to the devices but progress is being made. I am in your camp and would love to have .NET framework, and other large programs in ROM.
[Xperia Z3 General] nycbjr:
Hey Gang!

I was all set to get started helping to get AOSP ported (working with Untouchab1e) and it seems TMO has locked the bootloader something previously was reserved for att.

Needless to say I'm very upset, and will be returning the device.

There is no way around this right?
[Xperia Z3 General] ngvuanh:
Not be surprised, Z, Z1s are also locked.
[Xperia Z3 General] NoTengoBattery:
Very disappointing.

But please, note that it's not sony fault: Sony does not permanently lock the bootloader.

The problem here is the carrier. Sony will unlock your device if the device is sim unlocked, that's the only way to unlock but you need to pay the Unlock Code and have to send to Sony directly.

As you can see in Lollipop, SELinux is actually locking the root acces, so, you need to unlock the bootloader and change the kernel.

If you want to root a locked device running Lollipop, it's currently impossible, so BE AWARE!

P.S. I'm not saying that the Z3 is in Lollipop, but the update is imminent.
[Xperia Z3 General] G1_enthusiast:
HTC does not charged for unlock code, only Sony does this!
[Xperia Z3 General] caqo71:
All sony phones that will be shipped to a carrier to sell them comes with the "bootloader unlockable=NO", the others that are allowed to unlock bootloader comes directly from Sony, so don't be surprised with this issue, always has benn like that.
[Xperia Z3 General] NoTengoBattery:
Well, if you are talking about SIMLOCK code, you have to purchase it to your carrier. In my country (I don't know others), the law say that if the phone have 2 years and you don't renew contract, the carrier MUST have to unlock your device for FREE. Otherwise, purchase the SIMLOCK code. Sony will refuse to unlock the bootloader if the phone is SIMLOCKED.
[Xperia Z3 General] nycbjr:
Interesting, so if I was able to convince t-mobile to sim unlock I could then send that to sony? how does one do this? link possibly?

I got a suggestion to try selling it on craigslist than paying the difference to get the international version.

Anyone really want one now? :)
[Xperia Z3 General] ngvuanh:
Pay off your phone if you are on EIP, then activate and use your phone at least 45 days (I guess), T-Mobile will unlock your phone free of charge.
[Xperia Z3 General] lvlonkey:
ehh....I'm gonna be receiving mine tomorrow in the mail but this might bug me a little. I've rooted/unlocked all my previous phones (galaxy 2-4) and I'm pretty used to being able to do that. I'm hoping that this phone is just so awesome that I won't feel the itch to flash things anymore.

[Xperia Z3 General] ngvuanh:

[Xperia Z3 General] hanano17:
I don't much care about the bootloader, but not being able to root and in turn not being able to use xposed might be cause for a return....if only the nexus 6 was a more reasonable size.
[Xperia Z3 General] NoTengoBattery:
Yeah!! I've followed this tuto: http://www.htcmania.com/showthread.php?t=746342 for a client, he told me that sending from GT to UK were no problem an he paid the taxes. At the phone arrived from Sony UK, the bootloader was allowed to unlock. You may think that is better to sold the locked phone and pay the difference to get a phone, but my client don't think so and he gave me the chance to probe that SIMLOCK method is actually functional.

Hope it work for you if you wanna try.

6633 is dual sim
[Xperia Z3 General] abhinav.tella:
Apparently Sony will only unlock your bootloader if your sim is unlocked by the carrier. So either you pay full device cost or finish the 24 monthly payments get the sim unlock from TMO and then apply for bootloader unlock with Sony.
[Xperia Z3 General] se1000:
Honestly, this is the first time I've ever heard of someone sending a device back to Sony and being able to unlock a bootloader that indicates "bootloader unlock allowed=no".

If you see the above, your bootloader is locked forever, at least that's how I understood it.

SIM unlock is completely different.
[Xperia Z3 General] abhinav.tella:
If you are right, I'm going to pretend I am still right and have a false sense of hope & happiness.
[Xperia Z3 General] hanano17:
I honestly don't care about the bootloader if root was attainable in 5.0, but the news doesn't look good for root with LB.
[Xperia Z3 General] mattlgroff:
Well the thing is, if we can get root on Kitkat, then back up the TA.img, and unlock the bootloader with root (an incredibly small chance if any at all...) we'd be ok for Lollipop. Incredibly unlikely though.
[Xperia Z3 General] mattlgroff:
Has anyone heard of someone sucessfully flashing an engineering bootloader with the Flash Tool and not completely bricking their device? Just curious.

EDIT: Send me a hangouts message to mattlgroff (at) gmail if you're interested in trying? Super likely to brick and not work.
[Xperia Z3 General] NoTengoBattery:
Yes, we know that, but Sony will change the "no" to "yes" in the bootloader for free if:

1. Your phone is not SIMLOCK.

2. You have the SIMLOCK code.

3. You send the Phone to Sony if they accept your solicitude.

I can give faith of that (a cliend gave me tha oportunity of probe it with a CLARO Xperia Z2).
