[Xperia Z3 General] slinson:
First off thank you for sharing this OP!

1. May I ask what's good about this 'unlocked firmware'? Meaning we can use any carriers' SIM (instead of sticking with Rogers) after flashing it?

2. What tool do you use to flash it?

3. Also, you mentioned TWRP in a later post...I thought Z3 cannot be rooted without ruin it's DRM key thing yet? Did I miss anything here?

thank you again!
[Xperia Z3 General] DakotaBMacDonald:
Okay so I did this, I was on Rogers, and now for some reason I lost my ability to connect to 4G. I get LTE & 3G, but for some reason no 4G. Any ideas?

EDIT: I tried downloading the Rogers FTF from Flashtool so I could reapply the baseband, but after all the files decrypt & it gets bundled into a nice FTF, there isn't even a baseband option. I'm at a loss.
[Xperia Z3 General] Flava0ne:
1. No Rogers bloatware

2. Use Flashtool to flash it

3. Root can only be attained by unlocking your bootloader/loosing DRM keys
[Xperia Z3 General] Flava0ne:
4G is aka LTE
[Xperia Z3 General] DakotaBMacDonald:
I'm sorry, I don't think I explained the issue well enough that's my bad. Before I flashed the firmware, I would 4G & LTE; they would be displayed in the notification bar as two separate things. When I turned LTE off, it would say I'm connected to 4G, and wen I had it on, it would say I'm connected to LTE. But now, when I have LTE turned off, it alternates between 3G & H+. The most frustrating thing about this is that I made sure to exclude the baseband so that this wouldn't happen to me, because I was an idiot a couple years ago & flashed the Commercial & Journalist firmware on my ZL, and the exact same thing happened. It didn't get fixed until I downloaded the official Rogers FTF from Flashtool. So I tried doing that again, because last time it the FTF came with the correct baseband that gave me 4G back. This time, though? The Rogers FTF doesn't even have a baseband option.
[Xperia Z3 General] Flava0ne:
I'm not sure then, because installing the Rogers FTF would've or should have accomplished what you wanted. Did you originally flash the updated .77 FTF over top of the Rogers FTF that you were originally on to begin with?
[Xperia Z3 General] DakotaBMacDonald:
Yup I did! But I made sure to exclude the baseband, so I really have no idea why this is happening. I've sinced flashed the .77 FTF including the baseband, but I'm still stuck with the same problem. I'm just still not over the fact that the Rogers FTF you can download from Flashtool is broken. I flashed it anyways, even though the baseband wasn't there, thinking maybe it would work anyways, but all it did was take away WiFi. I'm back on the Generic CA .77 now though, and WiFi is working, but still no 4G.
[Xperia Z3 General] Flava0ne:
My original Rogers .93 FTF that I made myself when I had my Rogers Xperia Z3 has Baseband on the Exclude List on Flashtool. I can upload it for you but it's gonna take some time. Let me know.
[Xperia Z3 General] DakotaBMacDonald:
Would you mind? I would appreciate that so much, thank you. After this I'll always make backups ahaha. Thank you so much though!
[Xperia Z3 General] Flava0ne:
Here you go, hope it helps you out with what you want to do.

Rogers Wireless CA v23.0.A.2.93:

DOWNLOAD
[Xperia Z3 General] DakotaBMacDonald:
Thank you so much again, downloading now. I was able to fix the issue (kind of) right before you posted this. I deleted the Rogers FTF I had & downloaded it again, and it (kind of) worked. Flashed it, got 4G back, but it was unusable due to android.process.acore & android.process.media constantly crashing. I just couldn't do anything with it, but I managed to do a factory reset which fixed it. So, now we're back to where I started two days ago, with a dated carrier firmware. I'm so nervous about flashing the .77 FTF again. Last time I excluded the baseband & it messed me up, so should I just flash everything? Once I have your FTF all set up I'll mess around some more. Thank you so much, it's so nice knowing I have a safe FTF I can fall back on.
[Xperia Z3 General] omnikai:
I apologize for what is likely a "dumb question", but can I make use of this update if I'm keeping my bootloader locked? For whatever reason Rogers hasn't released any updates since I bought this phone in November, so I'd like to update manually, but I want to keep my bootloader locked.

Can flashtool flash these firmwares with a locked bootloader since they're official images?
[Xperia Z3 General] Flava0ne:
You should be able to. Some one else who posted on this thread did and didn't have any issues when they flashed over top their Bell FTF. But I would would personally wait for the official Rogers update.
[Xperia Z3 General] zombiej79:
I have rogers first thing I did was flash a generic global ftf

If you have a unlocked 6603 could you help with the root issue on them?
[Xperia Z3 General] Flava0ne:
I had a Rogers Xperia Z3 but ended up selling it when I found out that I wouldn't be able to get root on it with locked BL. I now have an unlocked Xperia Z3 which I immediately unlocked its BL because root is way more important to me than features that I don't really care about. As far as I know at the moment, root can only be attained by unlocking the BL on the Xperia Z3's. I'm not a Dev so I wouldn't be able to help on the root with locked BL issue.
[Xperia Z3 General] zombiej79:
I think they just need a unlocked 6603 to help debug why the exploit doesn't work with 6603 kernels.

---------- Post added at 10:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:57 PM ----------

Rogers is horrible for bl locking I have a zl but have root so it's good

---------- Post added at 11:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:58 PM ----------

Think they just need someone to run a couple adb commands to get a log
[Xperia Z3 General] Flava0ne:
So where can I contribute? Because I'm willing to help if I can.

Beat me to it lol
[Xperia Z3 General] omnikai:
And you did this with a locked bootloader?
[Xperia Z3 General] Flava0ne:
But I've already unlocked the BL on my device and have root with AndroPlusKernel. What I'm understanding is that they need some one who hasn't unlocked their BL on their unlocked Z3.
[Xperia Z3 General] Flava0ne:
Yeah you can still flash FTF on locked BL. I did that as well when I first received my Rogers Xperia Z3.
[Xperia Z3 General] zombiej79:
Yeah you just use Flashtool it's easy.

You could flash a stock kernel to get the info and flash back
[Xperia Z3 General] Flava0ne:
So basically flash a stock FTF and run that giefroot - rooting tool to get the info?
[Xperia Z3 General] zombiej79:
Yeah that should work then after you can reflash your adv kernel

---------- Post added at 12:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:35 AM ----------

Help: My device is not supported

The tool uses static kernel addresses. To support a device, I need the following information from someone with stock kernel (supported firmware) and root:

Upload kallsyms and show output of version command.

Currently as in v1 only Z3 Compact and Z3 is supported.

---------- Post added at 12:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:51 AM ----------

That's what you need to run via adb to get the info needes

[Xperia Z3 General] Flava0ne:
Okay cools, I'll try it some time tomorrow. I'm kinda settled in for the evening already.
[Xperia Z3 General] Flava0ne:
I'm assuming I'm going to have to Relock my BL prior to using this tool, correct?
[Xperia Z3 General] Flava0ne:
So I Relocked my BL, flashed Generic CA .93, enabled USB Debugging, put the device in Airplane Mode, connected it to my computer, ran the install.bat included with the tool, success, device rebooted, error device not rooted, press any key to continue... command prompt window disappears.
[Xperia Z3 General] Flava0ne:
So now that we have root for LB, did anyone make a backup of the TA partition and possibly share it if they did?
[Xperia Z3 General] Jojih:
If someone shares their TA partition and if you install that partition onto your phone, you're going to hard brick it (I think). Don't attempt. That's what someone told me on Xdaforums.

Oh, and thanks for the FTF file, OP! It saved my life. I accidentally deleted my OS when I was messing with my phone. Took me 2-3 days to finally fix this phone! >.<
[Xperia Z3 General] pattmyn:
Mods, can you delete this?
[Xperia Z3 General] SuperTrucker65:
Thank you so much! I bought a Z3 from Wind... Hated the service, unlocked it and moved it to Virgin, and could not get LTE service, as it was Wind's firmware. I couldn't get your newest FTF, as it downloaded as a ".ftf.download file", ad Flashtool wouldn't recognize it, even after I renamed it, but your original link worked, I flashed it, and my Z3 started with LTE service!! You are awesome!!

Thanks again! :D
[Xperia Z3 General] caanda45:
Well, thanks for the ftf files, I am going to unlock my phone, then try the .93 ftf to downgrade and then root...any thoughts on this? I think it should work???? I have tried a other ftf file and the flashtool would not flash it.....:confused: so we will try this hopefully once I get my unlock code...I am on Fido/Rogers, great thread for us Canadians!!!! The only firmware repository that I have found is xperiafirm and it is really only the most current..sometimes we need to go back to the future.
[Xperia Z3 General] Flava0ne:
No problem man! And it should work as long as you follow the tutorial correctly.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] OdeeanRDeathshead:
I asked the guy at three if x series can work on my dopod 838 pro and he said yes. I switched over to x series and it dose not work. I have now looked at the three site and it says that 838 is not supported. Is there any way to get x series to work with my phone?

I really want the 500mb for $20 so any help would be appreciated.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] OdeeanRDeathshead:
Heres the solution.

There are three problems if one switches over to x series from a data pack.

1)Data packs are using an access point "3netaccess". This is not the correct access point for xseries. Xseries is using the access point used that normally connects to plannet 3. Most people could just go to the advanced tab of connections and tap select networks then make sure the first box has "3 MMS Settings" selected for internet access. This has an access point of "3services".

2)Most people at 3 do not have a clue. The shop guy just said he activated my x series and it would work in 5 minutes but in actual fact his call only succeeded in putting a block on my current internet access. After being routed around for a while I got a very nice lady who told me that this happens to a lot of change overs. She activated my account and waited for five minutes to make sure it worked.

3)To see the new x series info on planet 3 it may be necessary to change the user agent settings on the device. Change:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\5.0\User Agent\(Default) to DopodD810/Mozilla/4.0

Thats it. Now I wish they would support skype for ce so I could get free use of it instead of eating my data. They only support skype on symbian devices.

I bought my wife a Dopod D810 but we are yet to see if there are any out of the box issues with that.

EDIT: What the hell is wrong with this forum. The word "internet" in my above path is typed correctly but when I see it in the post the forum adds a space?

Try replacing the flex cable, its a fairly cheap replacement. If that doesn't work then I'd just see if I could contact LG and pay them for a repair.

I have all up and running on both my NP12.2 and N8.0. On my 12.2, it requires a office365 subscription. My N8.0 I can edit and save locally.

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wingdo:
No subscription is needed up to and including 10.1". After that you need a subscription. A 12.2" tablet with a keyboard suffices as a laptop for a lot of people. If you want free use Hancom, if you want official Microsoft Office on a 12.2 expect to pay for Office.

Could be worse, on Windows tablets the line is drawn at 9".

I tried to follow your instructions and below was my result when i tried changing the MID to developer. I was on developer edition rom already, but i had the international MID. my phone is an AT&T variant. I changed MID's so x.xx.401.x stock rom would accept OTA's without a problem. i changed my MID back when i was on either 1.12 or 1.54 base, i dont remember. Now the OTA for 4.16 does not install. installing from android, it keeps saying download is corrupt. installing from recovery simply throws an unknown error. my guess is the MID being messed up. any information is greatly appreciated. in the meantime, im on 3.28 and the phone functions correctly for now at least.
