[Galaxy Note 4 General] ultramegax:
I just wanna chime in and say that the carrier I work for only cares about and rejects warranty claims based on physical damage to the device.

We do not check for or care about root, tripping Knox, flashing ROMs/modems, S-On/S-Off, locked or unlocked boatloaders, etc. We honestly have enough to do without worrying to check for those things.

So getting warranty support from your carrier really shouldn't be an issue unless the rep is incompetent or a huge jerk.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] npackman:
In case anyone missed it, Lolipop is out for a few Canadian carriers....see Sammobile or https://mega.co.nz/#!hxYXzYhJ!M_KCVi...YJeElzv9xZpPgI
[Galaxy Note 4 General] shaggyskunk:
Yeah - Except Rogers - Even Carriers that I haven't heard of.... I guess that's why we pay Rogers the big bucks ?

[Galaxy Note 4 General] electech13:
Yep of course often it's ok.. I too have even had warranty replacement done with tripped counter. But sometimes it applies.

I worked for Rogers myself and have seen claims go good and bad both ways and for other carriers..

Just recently a friend did claim on S5 and it was rooted.. Fried board and they said.. "it's rooted and was likely caused by over clocking and or over volting, but we will get a new board for xx$"

Hit and miss.. But here in Canada and GTA it usually is ok for general stuff..

I've even seen a couple cases now of cracked screens.. Carrier said no but go to Sammy in Heartland and they did it as a one off for pr I guess

[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] ThePhoneGeek:
So I am considering this tablet but I haven't used Sony phones/tabs before so I am curious about a couple things:

ROM Development? is there a good dev following for Sony devices?

Is root usually straight forward on Sony devices?

Are there additional items, unlooked bootloader, s-off, and such that are advisable like HTC and other devices?

Sorry if they're dumb questions but I don't usually play in this sandbox so trying to get a lay of the land.

MG
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] Envious_Data:
For tablets slow to get started

Rom wise usualy development is quite good, not super sure for tablets but other xperia devices usualy get enough goodies that often a dev just ports it over

Rooting usualy is since alot of xperia devices use the same firmwares, you can either do it the old way which unlocks your bootloader and voids your warrenty or the common way which is running a rootkit

Unlockable bootloader is the thing your looking for, no S on or off on xperias
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] Deltadroid:
Is the bootloader officially unlockable on the Z3CT?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] Envious_Data:
bootloader is officialy unlockable on all Xperia Devices past 2012
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] Geeks Empire:
Info

Yes.

Yes.

Yes you can easily unlock bootloader on Xperia ;)

But If you want to get start with android developing nothing s better than nexus devices

"Unknown File Format" when i try that one. The file is from an At&t Note 4 with has no root and has a locked bootloader. I'm guessing that has a big role to play in all these errors I'm getting :confused:

Even though it has a locked bootloader that still shouldn't prevent you from de-compiling the image, flashing the changes image is likely where you'll run into some problems. This being said I would recommend taking a look at this guide here, and instead of using the JB branch to compile the binary use the latest KitKat branch (Since Android 5.0 hasn't been fully released into AOSP yet) instead.

Hi everyone, We rooted the Alcatel OT Pop S7 !

thanks goes to my friend [MENTION=2372314]danycmoi[/MENTION] who helped me to get this device rooted !

Here's all you need :

- Recovery.img+le Scatter File (For POP S7 ONLY) : http://d-h.st/BPN (You can try it on Vodafone Smart4Power but backup your phone first !)

- Root_KitKat_4.4.zip : http://d-h.st/vkQ

- MTK Driver_Auto_Installer_v1.1236.00 : http://d-h.st/p3m

- SP FlashTools V5.XX : http://mtk2000.ucoz.ru/down11/SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1352.01.rar

How to flash :

0- Copy "Root_Kitkat_4.4.zip" in your SD card.

1- Make sure you have USB debug option checked (in settings/developpers options).

2- Open and install the MTK Auto-Drivers

3- Turn off your phone and connect it to your computer (this will load up the MTK drivers).

4- Remove your phone from computer and make sure its turned off

5- Make sure you have extract "SP Flash Tools" and "recovery.img+scatter.zip"

6- Run SP Flash Tools AS ADMIN

7- Click on "scatter-loading" and select "MT6582_Android_scatter_emmc.txt " from the previously extracted "recovery.img+scatter.zip"

8- Check "RECOVERY" box ONLY, double click on the empty green space on this line and select the file "recoveryCWM__Alcat_POP_S7.img"

9- Click the "Download" button

10- Connect the phone (make sure it was turned off)

You'll see a red line loading and then a yellow line loading. At the end, you will see a green circle saying "OK" !

Congratulation, you have installed the CWM Recovery !

Now, let's root it :

11- Remove the USB cable

12- Turn on you phone by holding VOL+ and POWER button - You will enter the CWM recovery !

13- Select "install zip from SD Card"

14- Select the file "Root_KitKat_4.4.zip" and confirm its installation.

15- Select "reboot to system now"

Your device is now rooted ! Congratulations !

Stock Recovery :

If you want to get the stock recovery back, there you go : http://d-h.st/Fun

About OTA Updates

Alcatel released one more OTA update, you can't flash it directly.

However, here is the .zip (http://d-h.st/Dcc) update 0003 for PopS7, i flashed it with CWM !

It didn't first work because i deoxeded my phone, so i flashed system.img back and it worked.

Warning : This will flash a new recovery,

you can flash CWM again using SP Flash Tools.

You can try this EXPERIMENTAL .zip with no recovery flashing (didn't test it) : http://d-h.st/9NSA

They updated some libs (like camera) and some system apps.
