Can I use Sony's PC Companion for backup/restore my data before and after rooting process?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Nesousx:
Didn't see your answer earlier, sorry.

I am using .77 fw, and I wiped cache and dalvik, still not working. I wiped them once manually via ssh in /system but they went back at reboot. IIRC I have to delete them from another location, but I didn't spend any more time trying to figute it out.

I am waiting for a clean Lolipop version, as you do, before investing time.

Stuck after step 26

Hi!

Thank you for your guide, but there are a few things that I wonder. I would very much appreciate some help but I understand if u choose to ignore my post.

Sorry if this comes out really stupid and you want to smash your head/s but it's my first android device (Xperia Z3c).

I've followed thousands of different tech tutorials but never scratched my head for 5h straight as I have done with this one,

33. Copy resulting "pre-rooted" fw to /sdcard0 on your phone.

Copy what fw? Should I just simply copy the whole .ZIP that includes SuperSU, dualrecovery and "system.ext4" onto my phones SDcard?

36. Unfortunately the script is a bit buggy here, so first go in the "files" directory then go to File menu of the windows explorer and select "open command prompt..."

What script is buggy? If I go into "lockeddualrecovery>files" what is my next step?

If I open "adb.exe" it just executes some commands and closes down.

37. In the command prompt type "adb shell" then "su" (allow root on the phone if needed) then "mount -o remount,rw /system". That's it, close the prompt window.

It just says that "adb is not a recognizable command" when I type in cmd.

And yes, I did press "Install ADB drivers to Windows" in the install.bat".

38. start install.bat and follow instructions (hit 1 (allow adb/root on the phone as needed)

"1. Installation on ROM rooted with SuperSU" Okay, I did this.

39. You should be in recovery automatically now. (if not, reboot and when the LED change colors push volume UP repeatedly)

40. Flash the pre-rooted fw (flashable.zip) from the recovery (touch "install") on the phone, then power off the phone (DO NOT REBOOT)

Still, what fw?

Flash with Flashtools? It doesn't find "system.ext4" if thats the fw.

And now to my last question;

- I believe that my device is rooted since I started having problems after

"26. Read the information and follow the instructions given by the tool.

-- Install latest firwmare with root, DRM keys, recovery --"

Is it like really important and urgent that I do this part after rooting?

Regards, niko.

Flawless Install on D5833

[MENTION=6406119]nikkopwn[/MENTION] - I'm a first time Android user as well, but I believe these answers are more-or-less correct?

Yep, just copy the whole .zip. If you're on Windows, you want to copy to your phone. So, Start > Computer > Xperia Z3 Compact > Internal Storage. As far as I remember, you'll know you're copying it to the right place if you have a set of folders and two files in that location.

Go to the Files folder, then SHIFT-RIGHT CLICK anywhere in the window that's blank. You should have an option in the context menu that reads "Open command window here". Click that.

Follow my previous instruction first, then in that command window, type adb shell, then hit enter. Wait - text should pop up. Then type su, hit enter, and wait again for more text to pop up. Then type mount -o remount,rw /system and after that command has run, close the command prompt.

You want to flash the .zip that you moved to /sdcard0 (step 33). This is not a Flashtools step; you should be flashing from the recovery interface on your phone. Remember, after the flash is complete, DON'T CLICK THE REBOOT OPTION. Go back to the home of the recovery interface, and power off the device from the menu there.

You are rooted, yes, but I believe it's highly recommended for you to complete the rest of the steps of the guide as a precaution.

Thanks for this guide, [MENTION=2851630]bilboa1[/MENTION]. Things went flawlessly, and it was easy to understand for someone who has never owned an Android device prior to the Sony Xperia Z3 Compact. I did have some Apple jail-breaking experience, though.

The only issues I encountered was not catching a few requests for elevated permissions on the device itself, and running a few of the scripts as administrator which affected whether they worked. Oddly enough, my attempted backup of the TA Partition failed, and according to this post it's because the file was not run with administrator permissions. Other than that, it went smoothly!

However, I did have just a few quick questions that I hope are easily answered:

1. If I wish to do a complete wipe and return to complete stock (i.e. out-of-the-box functionality), is flashing a stock firmware with Flashtool with the firmware found in this thread the only thing required of me, or is there more to do?

2. I installed SonyRICDefeat by moving the .zip to /sdcard0, booting into recovery by powering the device on and spamming volume up, and installing the .zip with that interface. After installing the .zip and powering the device back on, is it safe of me to remove the installed .zip file from /sdcard0?

3. If I were to run something like [MENTION=3989065]serajr[/MENTION]'s de-bloated .zip, would I be able to follow what I've outlined in my first question and return to complete stock functionality with the removed bloat reinstalled?​

I hope those are easy enough to answer. Thanks for the guide and the root method!
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Tracy1988:
I suggest you read the OP instruction over and over before doing anything like I did. Make sure you read the whole first page and pick the latest version of tools and correct firmwares. There's a command correction in the last post on first page. Yes, I know it's kinda confusing but if you follow it step by step, you'll be fine. I don't think I can make it any more clearer than the OP along with some others already have.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] cpurick:
You're copying to "internal storage". It's the emulated SD card. If you got to step 26 it's the pre-rooted flashable image. I don't know if it matters exactly where you put it, as long as you can navigate to it from the recovery program to install it.

This is all in the zip from step 34. Unzip it all into its own folder. There's an install.bat and a files subdirectory. You want to open a DOS prompt from inside the files directory. Assuming your ADB drivers are working okay, you'll enter three commands in a row:

adb shell

su

mount -o remount,rw /system

You shouldn't get any error messages. Nothing magical happens. This is just some stuff that's missing from the install.bat file in the parent directory. After you run the commands, you close the DOS window and navigate up a directory where you can now run install.bat.

You need to be in the same directory as adb.exe. I think that's the files directory.

If your ADB drivers and all are working right, installing the ROM will reboot your phone into TWRP recovery. From there you would want to install the pre-rooted zip file you downloaded in 26 and copied to the phone in 33. I'm assuming you already know how to work TWRP.

Use the Home button in TWRP, and from the home screen select the REBOOT button. In the Reboot page you'll find an option for shutting off the phone. They want you to shut down here without rebooting. Then you apply the standard 23.0.1.A.5.77 firmware with Flashtool, only this time you EXCLUDE the system partition (because you just installed one that's already rooted, and you wouldn't want to overwrite it!).

FYI, your phone was rooted somewhere between steps 20-21, and everything after step 26 is about installing a rooted version of the latest build. We had to go back to an older version in step 2 because the new version doesn't have the security hole they used to acquire root in the first place. So we're just upgrading you back to where you started from. If you don't do this stuff you'll be on the September build instead of the one from December.

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] GrimPivo:
Stuck at 1st stage - downgrade.

No matter what I did - I get this in flashtool:

PC companion installed, drivers from /flashtool/drivers installed (flashmode drivers, flasboot drivers, xperis z3 compact device driver).

Phone in PTP mode and swithed off.

Windows 7 sp1 64

What could be wrong?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] apSlain:
Try installing the Flashmode Drivers, Fastboot Drivers, Common drivers Shinano board, and Sony Xperia Z3 Compact Device Driver. Those worked for me.

If you're on Windows 8, you may run into issues as the drivers are unsigned. If you're on Windows 7, you should get a prompt to allow the installation of the drivers despite them being unsigned.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] GrimPivo:
Solved already.

Yep, the problem was in unsigned drivers. Strange thing: I'm on Windows 7, but I didn't get a prompt about driver's signatures, or anything else.

I had to run gpedit.msc and switch off signatures check there.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Alex2x3:
After running the RICDefeat.zip twice I still can not rw system. I am not able to install xposed is my main problem.

What could I be doing wrong?

This is what I see: [IMG="Screenshot"]https://s3.amazonaws.com/pushbullet-uploads/ujAFALdoa5s-5oCuLhbTRWE847pFW4OmPNtwzO2entw7/Screenshot_2015-02-11-11-16-09.png[/IMG]
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] cpurick:
There's a different Xposed installation method that invokes recovery. Use that.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Alex2x3:
I have tried both the automatic and manual option but nothing seems to happen when it reboots to recovery and I can't find a file to flash manually anywhere either. It says that it is put into a emulated/data/ folder but I can't access the emulated folder at all only sdcard and sdcard1.

Am I totally missing something?

And using root explorer to get to the emulated/data/ folder it says it saves too shows that there is nothing there...
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] GrimPivo:
You'll find what you need in /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/files (or here /storage/sdcard0/Android/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/files)
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] cpurick:
You probably have the path wrong.

/sdcard/Android/data/de.robv.Android.xposed.installer/files

There are two zips, one to install it and the other to disable it. I just used the manual recovery method and navigated to them to flash the installer myself.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Amr Nasser:

Hey Guys

Need To Make It Clear About STEP 37 :

Does I Write It In The Command Prompt " adb shell " Then I Press Enter Then I Type " su " Then I Press Enter & Then I Write " mount -o remount,rw /system " & Press Enter ??

Or All Commands In One Line ??

Thanks
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Alex2x3:
Thanks guys, I was able to find it using root explorer and copied it to my downloads folder and was able to flash it then. For some reason neither recovery I have was able to access the emulated folder at all, it was not even visible.

Does this coupled with the fact that my system still is not RW mean I have some kind of issue going on?

[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Reittis:
Hi!

Does anyone have these problems

- Auto rotation of the screen will always remain between the place and this will only help re-start

- The Nexus 9 states that "the 0% battery left," and then it turns off suddenly even if the battery would be the remaining 90 %

- Magnetic protective cover to turn off the screen from time to time so that the device can not log into the other when turning off and restarting it again. The screen turns off immediately , therefore, if you draw a pattern code, or enter a password

- Between the slowness

Sry bad english but i hope your understand what i mean.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] creambyemute:
1. Never heard about that one, I also do not experience this.

1.1. Have you tried updating (if an update is available) and maybe doing a factory reset?

2. This sounds like a real problem. Maybe exchange your Nexus 9 if possible.

3. I do not really understand what you are trying to explain. Can you try to explain it a bit for clearly?

4. If I understand you correctly, the Nexus 9 lags from time to time for some seconds right? If yes, I also experience this problem very often and it drives me absolutely crazy.

It's not even because the /data partition is encrypted. I re-flashed my nexus 9 with an unencrypted /data partition which indeed gives a performance boost to the Nexus 9 but this lagging/unresponsiveness didn't go away.

The Nexus 9 seems to have serious performance issues but I don't know why. My first generation Nexus 7 had this aswell but not as heavy as the Nexus 9.

It may really be the Nvidia Tegra chip inside.

Anyway: I'm disappointed by the Nexus 9 in terms of performance. My second generation Nexus 7 performs more stable to be honest...
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Reittis:
1. My Nexus 9 is up to date. I've tried factory reset but does not fix the problem.

3. I took a video this problem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGjwN2IZ58M&feature=youtu.be ( I bought this cover by Amazon and I told them of the problem. They sent to me a new different cover " my request" but same problem.) The problem does not occur when protection ( case) is "disconnected"

4. Yes you understand right.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] polymath257:
I have a d2vzw running cyanogenmod CM, build M11. I recently bought a new car, a Mazda 3 with full infotainment system.

Frequently, while on a phone call through bluetooth, the call will stall (dead on both ends) and the infotainment screen will reboot. I have taken the car to the dealer and they say it is likely to be my modified phone that is the culprit since they show no issues with stock firmwear.

It is also common for the sound system to stop and not allow BT or USB audio through. It still lets FM radio, though. The screen does not reboot in this case, though.

So, the question: Is it possible/likely that this is my phone causing the reboots? So far, I have only noticed the reboots and stalls when connected via BT, but that has been most of the time.

And second: is there anything to be done other than going back to stock on my phone?

Has anyone else had this issue?

Hi. First time poster, so please be gentle. :)

Following the recent 5.0.2 update, I've lost Google Play Services (or similar), so I'm tring to reinstall an up-to-date Gapps. I have a 1st Gen Nexus 7.

I've read up on the process, and am trying to do this via ADB sideload. The problem is, no matter which version of GApps I use (Micro, Nano, Pico etc) the ADB sideload ALWAYS fails when it has copied 47% of the zip to the device.

Please could someone shed some light on this, and offer a solution? Alternatively, can I manually copy the GApps apk's to the device and install those?

Thanks very much for any help.
[Nexus 6  General] SAW_JOK3R:
People love Nexus devices for the latest version of Android it gets. It's the best device to get updated with the latest version and usually cheaper than other devices in the market with same specification though Nexus 6 is bit exceptional with a bit higher price tag. Latest Android version is always exciting to us but with latest Android version, comes Latest Bugs too :p May be I became sarcastic, though it's true. Android Lollipop is not an exceptional to come with some bugs. One of the major bug of Lollipop is the RAM leaking issue. People has faced some major RAM leaking issue on their Nexus 5 and now Nexus 6 is also facing it. For Nexus 6 it's a major issue because it's causing Nexus 6 to force reboot and mainly force shutdown. This issue has been marked as Complete on Google Forum by a Google Employee. Jump to the first page to see it and browse through all pages to see that so many people are facing the same issue so there is no need to be panic. You can expect a fix for it as it has been marked Completed by a Google Employee. But for now we need a solution for it. ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT IT'S NOT A HARDWARE BASED PROBLEM, IT'S THE PROBLEM OF THE STOCK KERNEL. SO DON'T GET PANICKED AND REPLACE YOU DEVICE.

If you want to get rid of this problem and want to stay in stock firmware then follow the following steps:

A>

Non-Rooted Device

:

1. Close all apps before doing heavy tasks. You may see "System" as a recent task, don't be panic, clear it. It may appear sometimes. Even some apps which you've not opened, they may show in recent apps.

2. Don't run some specific games like NOVA3. It'll not let you go forward from the first cut-scene. It'll force shut down the device. [Tested by me]

3. Do reboot your device once in an interval of 5-6 days. 3-4 days are recommended. If you notice the RAM usage daily, you can notice that the RAM usage by System/Settings starts increasing after 2 days of usage without any reboot.

B>

Rooted

:

If you're rooted, you're good to go for a permanent solution.

1. If you don't want to switch to any Custom ROM, then flash a Custom Kernel like Franco Kernel or ElementalX . It'll help you to get rid of the random reboot/ force shut down.

2. Flash Custom ROMs. There are plenty of custom ROMs available for Nexus 6 which are mostly based on 5.0.2 and doesn't cause problems like this. Giving a small list of the ROMs which are being used by most of the Nexus 6 users
