[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] mu_shim:
I was in the same boat as yourself. Ruled out the Nexus 6 due to cost. Ruled out the Note 3 due to size (it's actually not that big a screen if you really want a phablet). Also Samsung with Knox have made it harder to flash custom ROMs without detection- a problem if you ever want to return the device under warranty as it's impossible to reset to fully stock. The other option I considered was the OnePlus One, but screen size, availability and a seemingly high incidence of touchscreen issues and poor warranty/RMA service put me off.

I just chanced on the Z Ultra while researching other large screen phones, and I'm really happy I bought it. I didn't realise Sony had such good developer support, on their website they even tell you how to unlock the bootloader and have support on building your own ROM if you're into such things. Huge kudos to them for that. Other manufacturers should take note.

For less than half the price of the Nexus 6 I have an awesome device running Lollipop now. The only thing I'll say is it's as big as they say, so portability is an issue for me- I don't carry it in my jeans pocket as I'm worried about bending it sitting down. But I wanted a big screen, so I'm happy to live with that one minor inconvenience. I could always just buy looser fitting jeans :D

My wife got the z ultra a few days ago and the more i see it the more i want one. What i really like about the sony is it has a sd card slot and the resolution is really good at 1080 x 1920. It really surprized me when i saw it was running the snapdragon 800 i figured it would have been around 400 and the CPU being 2.2ghz could have been a little better but hey for around 300$ or less who's complaining not me. And finally the GPU pushing 330. The camera is decent but could be alot better although its definitely not a deal breaker. I have to say i was very surprised when i read the specs. Im now down to 2 devices. Im either gonna get tje Nexus 6 or the Sony. My current device is the Lg G3 Stumped,'rooted' and bumped bootloader unlocked ' workaround isnt really unlocked'.

---------- Post added at 05:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:24 PM ----------

I just ran a benchmark test on my wife's xperia z it scored @ 3950 amd i also ran a test on my lg g3 which scored 3540. I have the snap 801 2.5ghz and the sony has snap 800 2.2ghz both adreno 330 both krait 400. Very similar as far as hardware goes.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
Yes the ZU has always done quite well on benchmarks

z ultra has poor battery backup every human bought nexus 6 is happy with it .. nexys is ultimate on unlock bootloader . nexus 6 camera and everythng is superior to every other phone u mentioned
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] mwebb34:
I ended up getting the nexus 6 and I friggn love it. My wife ended up getting the zultra. She's not into rooting and all of that,she saw the screen size and had to have it,if she's happy then I'm happy.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] afraaa:
ohhh i thought u didn't bought it yet ... sure when you are happy it's done ... z ultra is really good device ... but only problem is battery backup but .. othen than that it's good on this price . nexus advantage is easy root and massive developemnt .. I'm nexus addict for 3 years now :)) .. can't quite
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] mwebb34:
The sound on the zultra isn't that great but I'm sure viper4android would fix that. I was kinda shocked at the specs of the zultra pretty good for a low price. One thing I don't like about my nexus 6 is that its a lollipop only device. I'm not knocking it but just sayin with KitKat there was way more customization. It'll probably be 6 months or longer until xposed module will be available,and by then I'll probably have a different device. Lollipop in time will be on every device. I know more mods are being worked on I just gotta be more patient.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] afraaa:
yeah xposed is a sad story for module lovers .. i have not been a while on development on my nexus because i was busy to create application and still I'm , need money actually . yeah u right z ultra sound is another problem of devices . it's not perfect as matter of fact . i guess dev will find a way to create module .

i have nexus 5 .. nexus 6 is so expensive in Iran and i actually kind of dislike amoled display . IPS in my mind is better in every aspect . good color is what i appreciate always on my nexus 5 and G2 . another thing is subpixel that amoled is really poor on it . actually full hd LG IPS almost equal to Qhd on nexus 6 and note 4 . i compared my self , and as i said .. almost same . there is no way amoled Qhd can even close to what lg brought to G3 fantastic display quality . i really want to wait for next nexus but i know nexus 6 is far better than nexus 5 i you have possibilities .

what is xposed about all ppl going crazy about it ? i guess we can talk through things .. this is my google account . add me if you have no problem . alireza.saemi@gmail.com and tell me a little more about xposed if u can

No need to backup TA for root, its only when you unlock bootloader. Dont be afraid! ?

---------- Post added at 03:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:14 AM ----------

Sorry. ”Will I lose my root”
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] BragaisG:
If you use OTA or PCC to update, yes you will loose root.

If you want/need to keep root, you would have to flash Lollipop.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] redstep:
does anyone knows how to trim apps on stock rom? if root is the only way, do i still need to install custom rom or i could remain on stock? thanks
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] buracho:
The first and sensible thing to do would be to backup your TA after rooting, http://www.xda-developers.com/easily-backup-the-ta-partition-on-your-sony-xperia-device/ and keep it some where really safe. Once done that you can back up your stock rom with twrp and do what ever you wish.

---------- Post added at 05:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:34 PM ----------

Well if you mean removing unwanted apps no you don't need to install a custom rom, you just have to uninstall or freeze or rename the "safe apps" so that they don't function. I prefer the later method. But make sure you have backed up your TA partition and stock rom, its always a good practice.

Hello Everybody,

I`ve installed Flashtool with all drivers , according to OP and did all the steps, but can`t unlock bootloader. I`ve tried for several times.

Done. By using Sony Official way.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hristcroixqwerty:
Hello guys, just wanna ask some question regarding bootloader...

So when I got this phone, the first thing I did was unlocked it, get it rooted then flashed a custom rom.

After some time I reflashed a stock LP rom but then root it. Then again I flash a custom rom.

Now im planning to flash a GPE ported rom (http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z-ultra/development/rom-c6833-hybrid-rom-t3157992). It has an option to install a LB or UB, but of course i want the UB option.

My question if, whats the status of my bootloader after all those reflashing thing I did in the past. LB or UB?

And sorry for this very long post.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] tuliouel:
What's UB and LB?

What custom room did you use before?

Enviado do meu C6843 usando XDA Forums
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hristcroixqwerty:
LB = lock bootloader

UB = unlock bootloader

Right now I'm using cm 12.1 base rom, Resurrection Mix Rom. Most of the rom I used are CM based.

rooting 5.0 or above

does that work with official rom 5.0 or above?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
no. But you can flash an old stock rom and then root the phone.

Not that that is being easy because almost all old stock roms is gone form xperiafirm.

Only the newest stock rom .236 is still there. So you need to find your own ftf file.

You have got to be kidding me, buddy. How? I feel like I have left no stone unturned on this planet to find the answer. (wrong planet?)lol but really man. Could you share the information.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] tirtha231:
You can . Even from stock Lollipop. Just follow the steps.

Hot Boot with DoomKernel AND flash SuperSU zip to get root access then install ZU dual recovery and flash Pre rooted firmware from recovery.
[Android General] cdd3111:
This is a high tech times, which inspired most manufacturers in cellphone creating its best geek to draw their customers' attention. In China, there are numerous brands which is well-known to all, such as Xiaomi, Huawei, ZTE, Lenovo, Oppo and so on, which can even beat Samsung and Apple in sales. People tend to pursue and prefer the inexpensive device with good performance to those the luxury things. Therefore, Lenovo also has made a big step to create the iphone 6 clone, named as Lenovo Sisley S90. And can you believe it will be the best clone of iphone 6? See more details with me about the real test of Lenovo Sisley S90.

First, in view of the apperance, i was shocked by the lookalike of iphone 6, although it's not the 1:1 clone of iphone 6. Due to its larger screen with 5inch 1280*720p HD IPS screen of Lenovo Sisley S90, i love its screen and display. It's easy to hold and take. When i hold it, it is so thinner than other lenovo smartphones. Lenovo has made great progress on its weight and design.

Second, this time, Lenovo didn't use the MTK chipset but Snapdragon 410 Quad core 1.2ghz CPU, from the chipset, it will be better to use snapdragon chipest, it runs faster than mtk chipset. When i play "temple run", the speed is extremely swift. Lenovo s90 has 19219 high antutu test score. i like the whole performance. I never worry about the crashing of my smartphone.

Third, as for me, i think ram 1gb is not enough to store the apps i want, but 16gb rom is completely enough to download the ideal videos or games for me. I strongly advice lenovo s90 should release RAM 2gb version. Right now, i am enjoying it. Hope it can let me enjoy more.

Fourth, nowadays, the system of Android4.4 kitkat enjoys wide popularity. It's no exception for this nice Lenovo Sisley S90, although it's android4.4 OS, i believe it will be updated Android5.0 lollipop OS. Therefore, i will enjoy the new UI.

Fifth, it's said that Lenovo Sisley S90 is famous for the dual camera, which provide the ultra-clear and auto shooting function. It has 13.0MP Rear Camera and 8.0MP Front Camera, higher than other smartphones like Huawei, ZTE and so on. This good feature attracts me a lot. I can take every beautiful moment by this smartphone.

Latest but not least, 4G LTE network has been a tendency around the world, this lenovo s90 supports 4G FDD LTE network, which can be used in Europe and other countries. GPS is also necessary in a smartphone. I can use google map to position the way i want.

Therefore, lenovo s90 is a super competivie smartphone for me. I have not only experienced the dual camera, but also test the battery with 2300 mAh, which can support long-time working. Hope my experience will be helpful for you.

I got champagne gold 32gb S90-A. its lollipop 5.0.2 update messes alot of its performance. it drains fast, a bit laggy, sounds too low, camera not its best both front and back. But if you are not into details, L update is just ok for you except for the battery drains faster. i suggest stay on kitkat until they fix the problem.
