[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Haghty:
edit: ignore, I followed the instructions on here, and everything went OK.

Could anyone list more detailed installation instructions, please? I'm currently running CM11 and looking to upgrade to this ROM for daily use, and would really appreciate a step-by-step guide, as I'm just a user, not a developer.

Namely, what do the items in bold mean?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Haghty:
Every time I boot I get a notification of a security update. I've downloaded and installed, and it still pops up. Anything I can do to make that go away?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pintspin:
hi its actually not installed , because it need factory recovery to be isntalled thats why you keep on seeing it ,

the message is from Google OTA update , and it needs recovery image which came via firmware ( factory ) and i beleive you have custom recovery installed

i am also finding a way to disable this message i suggest to disable auto update but from where i dont know
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] elmonch:
Hi there

I'm now in 5.1.1.

Can I flash it directly or do I need to go back to 5.0.2.?

Thank you

Let it go..the closest you will come is a fork and kind of continued rom built on this rom

https://xdaforums.com/xperia-z-ultra/development/rom-hybridrom-concept-edition-t3205721

This is due to a lack of mirrors on the interweb.

If there was someone who hoarded the zip files and uploaded it to multiple mirrors the odds would be better.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pintspin:
Let me find from my archives for mirror but i need permission from scrubber any ways..before mirroring

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pintspin:
I am not able to find the ROM however i made backup and from that back up i have restored the Rom in phone with Twrp , if any one can guide me how to extract ROM from a running isntalled ROm or Back up then i can re produce the ROM ,

idea in my mind is that i need to perform a Full wipe to get clean rom and then do a twrp backup and share it here. ?? is there any other way to make the flashable zip from a twrp back up or a running rom , i know the DD method but that i will only extact boot and system images , which will do the task from fastboot

Hi, there.

Could you please tell me how you changed the font size?

I've already set it to small, but in the "about my phone" page,

there is no blank area at the bottom, like you have. :(

Never mind.

Somehow, the system font changed to normal.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pemell:
If you use a lower DPI like me (I use 320) on this ROM you've probably noticed the navigation bar buttons are too separated.

I've made a flashable zip to fix that.

download buildprop editor from Play store, then change ro.sf.lcd_density to 320 from 400 (default), then save and reboot...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pemell:
Yeah that app probably work. What it does is to change the system/build.prop density value. 320 seems nice. If the text gets to small for your likings change the font size in display settings to large. A fine combination IMHO.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] madsponge26:
320 is better.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Yamaraj:
Well, hello ladies and germs! I am not new to Android development or hacking, although I'll admit this is my first Xperiance. The C6802 is running stock 4.4.2 *.757 - rooted and TA backup'ed this morning, and begging to be unlocked any second now. Niceties and prologue aside, I need some data in order to venture forth and lolli-pop her cherry.

1. ROM, obviously. I suppose upgrading my rooted 4.4.2 to a 4.4.4 is crucial before flashing this piece of fine work, aye? Which one, precisely? Don't worry about bootloaders for now. I have the codes ready here, and I already know there are no official 4.4.4 ROMs for my raven haired bastard, so get off your high Valyrian horses and just point me in the right direction. Eh?

2. The Goddamned Bootloader. I understand restoring the TA partition isn't possible until I commit the stocky sin of the fleshy kernel unto mine Xperia? Does that mean I'll have a popped cherry bleeding on me and none of the collars and handcuffs of DRM fun to bind her with? No Track ID and other equally useless crap except maybe the Bravia engine, perhaps? Enlighten me, crows, in the name of the blasted seven hoes and nine circles.

3. How bad are the odds of losing the IMEI and other bits in the process? Also, it scores 38k+ in AnTuTu and in the vicinity of 19k in Quadrant as of now. Some of the stock GPe plebs here haven't seen those kind of numbers. What are the chances with this one?

That's about it. A cookie for whoever steps up and earns their place next to me in stripping and plugging my Xperia.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] aaronzz:
Many thanks.

By the way, have u tried DPI 260 instead of 320?

everything changes.

the arrangement of all the settings and chrome change into tablet mode, giving small and neat font.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] aaronzz:
whats album orientation?

my google calendar is fine at either portrait or landscape oriemtation
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pemell:
Well, if you lower the dpi to a specific value it will change resources and use phablet res instead of phone. On 4.4.4 it switched at around 290 if I remember it correctly.

Will there be issues if you set it that low? Maybe. Probably.

I would personally recommend 320.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pTeronaut:
For me, WiFi was working but incredibly slow, a typical 30 second app download was taking minutes, had to restore my C6806 to a previous ROM add or was getting late and I needed it for work the next day, and the phone updated apps rapidly from Wi-Fi once it was back up and running.

LTE/4G issues

Small bugs I found so far are all related somehow to LTE:

- calls don't come through when on LTE/4G (but they come through fine on 2G & 3G)

- Wifi hotspot also doesn't work after activating LTE (stays broken even after reverting back).

Strangely, mobile data works fine.

could this be because the port is from a non LTE device?

Any ideas or workarounds ?

Thanks.

Install over CM11?

My C6833 Ultra is currently running CyanogenMod 11 4.4.4, bootloader unlocked, Clockwork Mod Recovery installed.

What route should I take to install Scrubbers GPE 5.0 port?

Can I just copy this to my SD card and install using CM recovery?

Or do I need to re-flash to something else first? If so, what?

Any suggestions much appreciated.

Yes, you can, but you need wipe /system, /data and /cache before install ROM

I'd prefer to keep my C6802 baseband and device info if at all possible. Also, must I flash a stock 4.4.4 first? Fastbooting a recovery and going from there isn't supposed to work, eh?

BUT if I hold down the power button on boot the device will enter PhilZ Touch recovery :p

But the name is not entirely correct then. The name should be tripple recovery, not dual recovery?

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Yamaraj:
It worked. Here are the steps.

ORIGINAL SYSTEM: C6802 on STOCK 4.4.2 (no changes except root; yes, rooting worked straight on 4.4.2 without downgrading or anything)

1. Unlocked bootloader.

2. Extracted For_ALL_ZU_5.0_Scrubb_GPE_kernel_initD.img from the ZIP and did a fastboot flash boot.

3. Booted into CWM (VOL+), wiped everything, flashed the ROM zip and then SuperSU zip.

4. CWM raised a warning (ROOT could be lost ...or something along thee lines) Fix? I chose Yes and rebooted.

5. Boot loop x3

6. Back to CWM; same Fix SU message; YES; reboot.

7. "Connected as a media device" message appeared in Russian the first time. Changed DPI to 320 and rebooted.

8. Everything is fine and dandy for now.

I'll report back in case there's a problem.

Hi all thanks for the great work

I downloaded the ROM and it is a unique one thanks again

I am a noob which is fine for me and being among you all it is an owner to learn and I have a problem which I am trying to solve simply camera opens bit don't respond

Just hanging and when I choose video it is black out, should you have a zip file to flash to make camera work

By the way I tried removing it by app remove and install KitKat camera from play store with same results no respond
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] BlackOrder:
I had the same problem. When you flash the zip with TWRP the camera video shows black and multi user doesn't work. Solved it by flashing using CWM.

flash with two simple steps:

1- fastboot the boot.img (For_ALL_ZU_5.0_Scrubb_GPE_kernel_initD.img).

2- Use CWM (power wait or indicator then Vol+) then install the rom zip.

END

everything works :)

This is my first HTC phone, so I'm just wondering, what is S-OFF or S-ON? And why is it in place?
[HTC Desire Eye] ccb101:
its a extra security measure HTC phones have. the biggest issue with s-on is flashing kernels. with s-on you have to manually flash them using fastboot commands. With s-off you can do other things like flash firmware from other regions or run RRU's from other countrys as well, it would help with sim unlock and changing your model id.

Alright, thanks for your answer :)

How can I check if my Sprint LS990 is Sprint unlocked or OEM.

Guess if i can't access Bump screen (when device is off - holding Vol' Down+Power....when i see LG logo releasing power and immediately hold again) i am just NOT Bumped(=unlocked)?

Thanks!
[Sprint LG G3] joeyhdownsouth:
Carrier unlocking and bump are 2 totally separate things. Bump referred to here, as unlocked, means you have twrp recovery, for flashing custom roms and backups. Carrier unlock means sim card port has been unlocked for use on any gsm network.

[Sprint LG G3] shabydog:
I really didnt knew that,

I do have a TWRP installed....which means it the same but different method.

I use my Sprint G3's out of u.s on a GSM/LTE network.

But i also interested to know if Sprint made them own unlock (with code...) or they did made an OEM unlock as they told,

Thanks for your help!
[Sprint LG G3] joeyhdownsouth:
Sim and oem unlock are the same. Try here or here

sent from my Vanir LG G3
[Sprint LG G3] shabydog:
I dont need them...as for my understanding, if i have a TWRP it means my Bootloader is unlocked.

I think i mixed between two things:

1) Unlock to any Network by a code from Sprint to n oem by manufacturer.

2) Unlock Bootloader to install rom.

So if i can use a GSM network outside u.s = Phone is unlocked.

If i have a Recovery = Bootloader is unlocked.

Thanks!
[Sprint LG G3] joeyhdownsouth:
Correct, to my understanding boot loader is not really unlocked, just "bumped".

so when u unlock you manually enter the apn of the desired gsm network. how does it work in case of roaming where it might have to switch to other gsm networks?

would switching to other networks be automatic or needs to be manually keyed in.

If you are on cloudy rom you dint have to worry about all these because his base rom is international it autoco figures the apn settings and selects the best network.
