Since you're on the NE4 firmware you should be able to flash one of the ROMs in the OP of this thread to go back to stock: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2789917

These say they're rooted, but you probably won't have to install root. I've never flashed these ROMs, but I have flashed an NJ1 stock from the creator of that thread. You didn't have to flash su in the NJ1 rom I flashed, root was offered as an option when you chose Reboot after flashing. Side note, TWRP warned me that no OS was installed after flashing before offering to root. That spooked me a little, but everything worked fine. Give your phone quite a while to settle during the first reboot; those stock ROMs are big. Mine just showed an AT&T logo with no animation or anything for probably better part of 10 minutes on first boot, so be patient.

Whatever you do, if you're already on NE4 firmware do not do step 1 in the thread I linked. You can just skip to flashing the ROM in step 3 as long as you're sure you're on NE4 firmware. Now that you're beyond MJB bootloader never try to downgrade to MJB or anything earlier or you'll have a brick on your hands.

That should get you back on a stock ROM with no root. You'll still have a custom recovery, but that shouldn't bother you day to day. You can find ways to get recovery back to stock too if you feel the need, but it sounds like you've had enough fiddling with your phone ;). I wouldn't take any OTA's with that phone even once you're back on stock. With your custom recovery and flash counter probably tripped it will probably just fail, but I've seen a few posts claiming a failed OTA screwed something up. Better safe than sorry.

Good luck.

Hi guys

Got a problem here!

I was using CM11 m7 with stock kernel (CWM recovery) on Samsung Galaxy S II GT i9100 (international unlocked version). I wanted to move to ASNET v5 (MIUI). So I downloaded the required files onto my external card. It included the ROM pack and PhilZ kernel.

So I flashed the new kernel from CWM recovery, which came with PhilZ touch recovery. I tried going to SD card and flashing the ROM file, but it said unable to mount SD card (in the new recovery). Unfortunately I had all the files on the external SD card, and I cd browse only the internal storage.

When I flashed CM11, I had flashed the kernel and ROM with a zip file. So I went online, and downloaded a tar file for the CM11-compatible kernel and flashed it with ODIN. Successful! My phone now booted in recovery again (CWM now, which I flashed with ODIN). Now I rebooted the phone so that I could move the files to the internal SD card (I had not done anything to the ROM, and now I had flashed back the kernel I was originally on, just with a tar instead of a zip). But now my phone won't boot!

I tried flashing the CM 11 compatible kernel (tar file) again, still won't boot. And now my phone does not boot in recovery as well! I tried flashing the new PhilZ kernel again, but again the device won't boot into recovery.

What should I do?? My phone is opening in download mode, and as I flash the kernel with ODIN, ODIN even says PASS. But my phone remains blank and does not show recovery mode.

What should I do? Should I flash the stock Samsung ROM's tar md5 file? In that case, will the fact that I haven't factory reset my phone come in the way of flashing the stock Samsung ROM? I have my Titanium backup, and I have copied it on my PC. But I don't have a backup of the Internal Storage (not the app storage, my own storage). Will I lose my Internal Storage? Please help!!!

Note: you have to modify updater-script in the zip if you want to use with MultiROM or non-CM recovery..

They choose to use "z3", because Leo was codename of HTC HD2.

Hmm oh ya the luminosity issue.. It's kinda messy but it's okay for me. The home button is working very well right here.. I haven't had any issues with the navigation bar. I have the d6653 variant.. The YouTube casting works as it should..

BTW I think you should flash this Rom with cwm recovery instead of flashing it with twrp to avoid some issues
[Xperia Z3 General] AndroPlus:
I know, but it's just a problem for managing and they can avoid it like "leo (z3)".

Also, there is no download for HTC HD2 although there is device tree for it...

http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=leo

They should use "leo" to detect device since it is codename for our device.

It will create futile confusion for devs.
[Xperia Z3 General] Hushmina:
I saw you installed the David Vaz CM build.. Does the flashing using CWM still apply? Or is it fixed with the official CM Nightlies?

Sorry for asking so many questions, but I'm just trying to pinpoint the problems with it before jumping the ship and rooting..

Some apps are working only on mobile data and not on wifi, wtf

(example: whatsapp is working on both, messenger (facebook) and the cyanogen browser aren't working on wifi, just mobile data)
[Xperia Z3 General] joepontanoni:
So I'm thinking about 'rooting' by Xperia and getting CyanogenMod, trouble is - I've never done anything like that before.

Can someone briefly go over the advantages (not so important, they're obvious really) and disadvantages (important). The one thing stopping me is the thought of complications down the line. In a couple of years time, when there are newer and newer updates, will updating my device be a hassle or even possible? Will I lose all of the exclusive Sony privileges and camera capabilities indefinitely - or is there a lasting, non-problematic workaround? Also, what happens if Sony update their software and I want to change back - and will future updates from that point be provided by Sony, or will I have to dig deeper and do it manually? Any help would be appreciated
[Xperia Z3 General] Thraxzzz:
The answer to all this questions will be your TA. Once your TA is lost,i dont think you will receive OTA(over-the-air) updates. So before you do install cyanogen, BACK UP your TA

Advantages of Cyanogen (For me)

-Stock vanilla android (found on nexus devices)

-apart from being stock,has lots of customization ( themes,soft keys etc)

-Lots of other minor advantages cm has that i cant list down

Disadvantages :

-CAMERA. Front camera especially. Due to lost of TA, low light image processing is lost. And thus picture quality is badd

-rear camera is fine but not under low light.

-Sound. If you're an audiophile like myself, sound enhancement from Stock sony is lost. Sound quality is bad IMO on CM, currently using external DAC to replace it.

-As its still in nightly, you may find bugs here and there

All in all, is all up to you as if you want all the sony goodness you just need to flash back to stock and restore TA and voila all the abrakadabra magic by sony is back,oh and your warrannty too!

Cheers,

T
[Xperia Z3 General] joepontanoni:
Thanks for the reply. So all of the Sony features including remote play are not lost forever if I backup my TA and decide to revert back?

Yes, flash to stock and restore drm. And everything's back

I use Backup Message & Call to Email by Lucky Dog from the Google Play store (it is FREE). This can backup your call history and SMS/MMS messages either instantly or on demand. You can then restore them to a new phone.

You can also set up your photos to backup to Google+ (either automatically or on demand).

There are a lot of sync options using Google and you android phone that make it a breeze to switch from phone to phone.

Hey guys I'm wondering if any of you have encountered this cable before

http://www.motorola.com/us/accessory-family-page-1/1080p-HDMI-Cable-(15ft)/15-ft-hdmi-cable.html

I bought 3, with the idea to use them with my Nexus 6 but low and behold they actually don't fit. Any idea Why? I'm sure its made for a certain brand of phones, (I thought Motorola) but apparently not. :confused:
[Nexus 6 Accessories] doitright:
That actually says that it is an HDMI cable, not an MHL-HDMI cable or other similar such cable that has HDMI on one end and uUSB on the other. Looks like it has a micro-HDMI on one end, and a regular-HDMI on the other. Nexus 6 does NOT have a micro-HDMI socket.

Also remember that Motorola sells things that are NOT EVEN PHONES, like video baby monitors. Maybe some of their video baby monitors have HDMI output so you can plug it into a TV and swap input when you need to check on the little one.

In any case, you'd be better off with a chromecast than a cable. No point in tying yourself with a wire when you can just select "cast screen" from the main pulldown menu.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] PaisanNYC:
That is for the Motorola XOOM. The XOOM tablet has a micro-HDMI output port. My Nexus 10 tablet has it also. It's not for the Nexus 6.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] dynamo147:
Ah yes I love chromecast i'm using it right now to watch crunchy roll lol, just that I felt that the cable would be easier to use in cases where there isn't a wifi network I can set up with but nevertheless thanks for the info! didn't know there was such a thing as MHL-HDMI it just, like you said, really looks like it has a micro-HDMI on the end, unfortunately for me lol
[Nexus 6 Accessories] dynamo147:
Ahh I see! Shame because I got really excited about being able to carry the cable around wherever I go lol
[Nexus 6 Accessories] PaisanNYC:
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news :(
[Nexus 6 Accessories] doitright:
Actually.... you know that you can set up a chromecast to connect to your "android wifi tether" AP? You will need to use a different device to configure the chromecast than the one acting as an AP, but once done, you just activate wifi tethering, plug in the chromecast, and there you have it without even needing a local wifi network!

*HOWEVER*, there are no details.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Nacho~:
That guy was a troll. The hardware is not in the nexus 6 for either Slimport OR MHL.

Personally, I use chromecast to mirror my screen in the house as well as in my car on my Appradio3. I do as you said with the hotspot on my nexus 6 with the chromecast set to connect to it.

[Nexus 6 Accessories] dynamo147:
Do trolls really have nothing better to do :/? But yeah that hotspot idea sounds pretty good ^.^
[Nexus 6 Accessories] doitright:
Could be. However....

The *hardware* is definitely there -- mhl/slimport is built in to the SoC, and there must be a USB switch in order for it to even select between different USB modes. The only actual question is whether or not it is wired correctly. I *HATE* it when hardware vendors wire things wrong.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Nacho~:
Couldnt it also be true that the actualy micro USB port is missing the required pins for slimport or mhl? Not every micro usb is created equal.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] doitright:
Nope. EVERY uUSB plug *IS* created equal.

MHL does not use any pins in the USB plug that are otherwise not there. USB plugs, whether they are MHL or not, have precisely 5 pins;

+5VDC, GRD, D+, D-, ID.

ALL of the pins are required and NOT OPTIONAL.

D+ and D- are the actual data pins.

+5 and GRD are POWER.

ID is the "type selection" pin.

Behind the plug itself, is a SWITCH, which is controlled by the state of the ID pin. The amount of resistance between the ID pin and GRD determines what "mode" the switch is in. And yes, there is a switch, since it is well established that the device DOES support USB OTG.

So on one side of the switch, is a USB plug. On the other side is USB HOST, USB OTG, MHL, TTY, and a bunch of other kinds of functions. Like I said, ID determines what the USB plug is actually connected to.

But like I said, I can't tell you if the MHL wires between the switch and the SoC are physically present.

So, I guess the question becomes:

What would have to be done to achieve hardware video output on a Nexus 6?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] dynamo147:
So I'm not really code savy or phone hardware adept, but I figure that the disabled string would have to be changed to enabled annnnnd, the N6 might have to be opened a tad to expose the port to make the necessary changes?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] ed_istheword:
That's my best guess as well (my skill level is definitely low), but I doubt it's so simple.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] doitright:
The ONLY option to achieve hardware video output from a Nexus 6, is to *physically* modify it. You would have to disconnect the internal LCD, wire in a DSI --> HDMI converter chip (like an adv7533) to the wire that WAS going to the internal LCD, add an adv7533 driver, plug a USB-to-i2c converter chip into a USB-OTG plug to control the adv7533, and implement a panel configuration file that matches the HDMI display you are trying to drive.

---------- Post added at 07:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:53 PM ----------

Earlier revisions of the Nexus 6 mainboard (pre-shipping) included an HDMI output chip. Before the first one shipped, the board was revised and this chip was removed. There isn't even a pad available to solder a chip onto. The reason that HDMI was disabled is that the hardware doesn't exist for it to work.

Edit: there is no USB switch on Nexus 6. The USB plug is straight to the USB pins on the SoC.
