[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] halodub:
So, after MONTHS of trying to fix my red 600 dollar paperweight, I feel it is time to give up and make a post here. I have tried everything from using RUUs, factory resets, restoring from backups, ADB sideloads, etc. and have had absolutely zero success. So here's the story!

A couple months ago, I installed MultiROM on my HTC One M7WLS in an attempt to get Ubuntu Touch to work on it. The install of MultiROM went smoothly and after a reboot, my phone was working normal. Naturally, once my phone was reconfigured I created a backup in the MultiROM TWRP (v2.8.0) to ensure I didn't lose my current state (or so I thought). After the install, I went to install a secondary rom on the phone on another partition. After the second ROM installation completed, I rebooted my phone, only to be stuck in a boot loop. From here, I went to recovery once again and deleted the new partition, and restored my previous one when I had it working. After this is when everything started going bonkers. Upon rebooting my phone, I discovered I no longer had a working radio (it completely disappeared; nothing even shows in settings for Baseband version) and I no longer had internal storage!!! I can access my phone's internal storage through File Manager, but I am unable to install apps, take pictures, or even watch videos on Facebook because it tells me I do not have internal storage, and that I need to insert an SD card. I have tried several things in an attempt to get my phone back to working condition, but I am still stuck with a copy of Cyanogenmod with no radio or internal storage.

Honestly, I have no clue what to do from here so I hope someone has insight on how to do this. I have tried uninstalling the MultiROM addon, but it does not allow me to since I can't put the ZIP file on my phone, or sideload it in since ADB says there is no phone connected. ANY AND EVERY BIT OF INPUT IS APPRECIATED! :)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] halodub:
So today I managed to restore my recovery to vanilla TWRP 2.8.1.0, and also managed to flash a ROM to the device. Sadly, in the OS I still have no internal storage or baseband, and I have not been able to find ANYWHERE how to restore JUST the baseband for this phone. Also, I have not been able to find how to fix the problems I am having with the internal storage. Once again, any and all input is appreciated :)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clsA:
Go into TWRP and choose wipe / Format Data / type yes

when it's done you will have a blank device but the sdcard should be back.

get adb working on your phone with post 2 / faq 2 here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2541082

when you get adb devices to work from TWRP

go to advanced / sideload

then on your pc - adb sideload rom.zip

be sure the rom is in the same folder as adb

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flava0ne:
I just received my Sony D6603 Xperia Z3 from my carrier which is Rogers. Is there a way to fully unlock the device as if it was purchased as an unlocked version? I've tried searching for answers, but only came up with how to unlock the bootloader and rooting instructions. Unless, if by doing those methods, will fully unlock my device including SIM lock. Any help and insight would be greatly appreciated.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrendenDonaher:
Depending on Roger's terms you should be able to have them unlock it. Appears you have to wait 90 days though.

http://www.rogers.com/web/support/wireless/unlock/733?setLanguage=en
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] torquelift:
Loving this one:

Why do I have to wait 90 days before I can unlock my device?

Your device has been optimized for use on the Rogers network. You may find that some settings or features do not function properly once the device is unlocked and in use with another carrier's SIM card. We want to ensure that you've had the chance to experience the full capabilities of your device on the Rogers network before making the decision to unlock.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Rooting and bootloader unlock will make no difference to SIM unlock.

The two issues are separate.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flava0ne:
If I unlock the SIM on my device via a code, will it still be unlocked even after re-flashing my device's firmware?

Because I just checked to see if I can unlock my device's bootloader, but I'm not able to at all. Maybe I will be after getting it unlocked by Rogers themselves after the 90 days.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nobby00900:
Once your device is sim free (using code) it will remain unlocked no matter what you do
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Please re-read what I said. Bootloader unlock and SIM unlock are two separate things. One does not affect the other. It does not matter what you do to one it will not change the status of the other.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flava0ne:
Yes, I understood what you said. What I meant was, when or if I get Rogers to unlock my device, unless they're only unlocking the SIM on it, hopefully I'll be able to unlock the bootloader as if I originally purchased it unlocked to begin with. Because when I checked my device's service menu, the status on the bootloader is that it cannot be unlocked using Sony's official method. If I had purchased an unlocked device instead of getting it through Rogers, the bootloader unlockable status would be different, correct?

When I get home, I'll try and see if I can still unlock the bootloader un-officially using Flashtool, unless for some reason that method won't work at all and my bootloader will not be able to be unlocked at all currently.

Edit: All I basically want to accomplish in my new device is to have root access to it. My previous device was an Xperia PLAY which was also purchased originally locked from Rogers. But after fully unlocking it using the Omnius client, I was able to unlock it's bootloader, flash DooMLorD's kernel and get root access to it. Because all the tutorials I've found on how to access root on the Xperia Z3 involves having the bootloader unlocked.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Probably, but some carrier free devices come with a boot that cannot be unlocked and some devices that are from a carrier can be unlocked. SIM free or SIM locked does not imply the bootloader can or cannot be unlocked.

There is no unofficial bootloader unlock for this device. Its done through sony's official method or not at all.

If Rodgers unlocks the sim for you it will not affect the status of the bootloader at all, unless you ask them to do it and they agree.

To get root access you do not need to be SIM unlocked. The only way to gain root acces on the Z3 currently is to unlock the bootloader, which you cannot do even if Rodgers SIM unlock it

The xperia play is a legacy device and there were unofficial ways to unlock the bootloader. That has not been the case with all new phones for a couple of years now. I believe (Correct me if I am wrong) that the xperia NEO was one of the last to come with an unofficial unlock (The test point method). My old Xperia T was one of the first to come that had no unofficial unlock and the only way to do it was via Sonys unlock site.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flava0ne:
That's something I didn't know, I've always thought that when you purchase an unlocked Android device that the bootloader would be unlockable, good to know! :D

So they can apparently change the unlock-able status of the bootloader themselves?

So basically, unlocking Sony devices unofficially, stopped around the same time Sony Ericsson became only Sony?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Yes, there have been some posts that some people have managed to do this with some carriers, but I am very sceptical as to this actually happening.

That may be coincidence, I believe that Sony made a tactical decision to stop unofficial methods by allowing some devices to be unlocked officially. This saw an almost immediate stop in devs working on unofficial unlocks as you could always get hold of a device that could be unlocked officially and for free. They basically took the need of an unofficial unlock out of the equation.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flava0ne:
If Rogers could do that, it really makes me wonder what kind of tool/program that they use to accomplish this.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Probably something similar to Emma or just fastboot and adb. I really do not know that. The problem is they know the keys, without them it needs a good dev to find a vulnerability and write an exploit. That takes time and skill. And since there is an official method there seems no need to spend that time, as people with that skill just get themselves devices which can be unlocked
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flava0ne:
My 3rd day now with my new Z3 and I'm really missing having root access. :(
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msxghost:

Will SIM unlocking allow you to delete the Rogers apps?

Also, I noticed my phone doesn't let me hide apps, though most people seem to have that option... is that a Rogers thing or is there something wrong with my device?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Sim unlock has nothing to do with root, so sim unlocking will not give you the ability to remove system apps.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flava0ne:
What i have done already to my device as soon as i got it, before even turning it on for the first time, was use Flashtool and flashed it with the Global Generic Firmware to get rid of the Rogers branding on it. I was able to disable most of the built in bloatware that originally comes with it.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msxghost:
Will doing so essentially wipe my phone? Unfortunately I've already downloaded all my apps/customized it how I want otherwise, so I'd like to avoid that if possible. Sorry if this seems like a stupid question, I'm new to Android.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Not if you tick the box to exclude data on flashtool when you flash it
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msxghost:
Is there some sort of beginners guide/explanation/walkthrough you can point me towards? I've never had an Android before, so I have no idea what I'm doing and I don't want to screw anything up.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flava0ne:
Download the latest version of Flashtool from here, download the Global Generic Firmware for the device from this thread by hyelton.

Install Flashtool, when installation is complete, go to the installation directory where the program was installed C:\Flashtool, go into the drivers folder and run Flashtool-drivers.exe. I would just check mark everything to ensure you install all necessary drivers. When that's complete, open up Flashtool and click on the Flash device button which has a Lightning icon:

Make sure Flashmode is checked and click on Ok to continue:

Unless you want to wipe the Data portion of your device, un-check Data and then click on Flash:

Power off your device, connect the USB cable to your computer, then, while holding down the Volume Down button on your device, connect the USB cable to it to use Flash mode. Wait for the flashing process to complete, then disconnect your device from your computer and power it back on.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flava0ne:
I did some searching for a way to get root access without having to unlock the bootloader and found some info regarding Towelroot and how it's able to accomplish this. I even found this thread where the OP was able to get root access on his Xperia Z Ultra on 4.4.4 using 1337 0 0 0 6 0 modstring in Towelroot. That modstring doesn't work for the Xperia Z3 cause I tried it and the Towelroot app just stalls. Would this method work though for my device if the proper modstring is used with it?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
No.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flava0ne:
No, as in, not ever? Or No, as in, not now currently (ie Towelroot current version or Modstings availability)?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Towel root will not work on the z3, the vulnerability it uses has been patched in the newer kernel version we have. We cannot downgrade to an older version either as there is not one for the z3.

The z3 was released after towel root.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flava0ne:
Oh okay, gotcha. Damn I really need root on my device, I like customizing so much stuff and removing a whole lot of bloatware. I can't even move apps to my 64GB microSD card because of Kit Kat. Also makes a whole bunch of apps that I had previously purchased on PLAY useless because they require root access.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msxghost:
Will flashing it with the general firmware void any kind of warranty or anything? I ended up having to exchange my last one before I had a chance to, and now I'm not sure if I should.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flava0ne:
No it won't void your warranty. But if you're paranoid, you should make a backup of your original firmware prior to flashing it.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msxghost:
and how do I do that?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flava0ne:
You can follow this GUIDE by Apollo89.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flava0ne:
I ended up selling my Rogers Xperia Z3 and purchased an Unlocked version directly from Sony. I also already unlocked the bootloader on it and now have root. I'm already enjoying my new Xperia Z3 a whole lot more now that I'm able to customize and modify things.

Hi,

today I took my old galaxy s1 apart (it was dead anyway).

I would love to reuse some parts, most notably the touchscreen.

Does someone have experience with reusing a touchscreen from a smart phone?

How can I identfy Vcc, SCL,SDA, and what the other pins are?

I found this datasheet: http://pdf1.alldatasheet.com/datasheet-pdf/view/313246/ATMEL/MXT224.html

The device uses the 48-pin QFN package.

The second highest pin seems to be connected to a ground plane, according to the data sheet it should be i2c address select.

The highest pin is an output interrupt line.

Unfortunately I cannot see the bottom layer, as it is covered with some plastic. That leaves all relevant pins undetermined.

Luckily voltage levels are 3.3V tolerant, according to the data sheet.

It's an external battery charger than you use with a usb cord.

I carry a backpack anyway so I use it to charge my tablet and phone on the go. I prefer not to increase the weight of my phone directly since I spend a lot of time reading ebooks on it (2 to 4 hours a day) and that leads to hand fatigue

Edit: I tend to prefer heavier chargers that I can charge weekly instead of daily (10000+ MAH) but you can get really small lightweight ones that are 3000 MAH and comparable to the size of a lipstick.
