I want to get the GSM signal strength too !

Try entering into GSM test mode by dialing this

*#*#364#*#*

If engineer mode is enabled, it will bring up the GSM test mode.

If it does nothing you will need to modify this key in the registry.

HKLM/Software/HTC/EngineerMode

BuildInEngineeringModeApp = 1 (to enable it if disabled)

LaunchEngineerModeAppDialStr = *#*#364#*#* (may be different for you, use whatever is listed for you)

It has been a while since I have searched, but aside from things like weather watch faces, minuum keyboard, constant heartrate monitors, is there anything cool or neat for this watch that has been released? I have the party mode app which is neat to use when out and about on the weekend but just trying to find anything else neat or useful that it can do. I have not rooted it or anything, as I have not needed to, but if that opens the door for anything I would gladly do that.

Hello guys.

I'd like to install the same app (but different version) twice.

For example tapatalk 4.10 and 3.0 without replacing.

I hope u know what I mean.

I know how to compile, recompile apps, so don't worry.

I hope it's not wrong Forum for such thread.

Peace.:cowboy:

Putting aside the question of why you would want Crapatalk installed on your phone in the first place, my understanding is that the only way you can have 2 different versions of the same app installed at once is if the 2 apks had different signatures.

hi boss I don't know if you could make a video on how to do it some of us are not that smart. so if you could please thanks

rooting

i suggest taking out variables and automate the entire rooting process. i.e creating a .bat file or program.

why?

i dare say there will be noobs who will screw up the process and brick their tablets.then come crying in xda asking for solutions.

we are dealing with a fw frm another device(even though its in the same family) so there are bound to be risks involved.might as well preempt the possibility of dealing with a grief stricken noob and jus write a rooting progam....
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Android Development] jaime4272:
need help with errors

lowtraxx can you tell me what's going on here. I've tried 4 times and I get this error. could you tell what am I doing wrong. I have been following you instructions but I cant get pass the first stage.:confused:
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Android Development] lowtraxx:
It seems system flashes okay, but the wipe of userdata fails. Could you please try to instead of wiping everything to wipe nothing and only flash system. After that reboot the tablet and you should get a normal bootup with lots of errors. Then go into Settings -> Backup and Reset and make a factory data reset. Then after that finished the tablet reboots and you should get no more errors. Then follow the rest of the steps.

Update: I also changed the tutorial to reflect that problem.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Android Development] lowtraxx:
I will try to do just that once I have the time. I just wanted to share the way as soon as I could so others that are experienced with flashtool (hence the big red disclaimer ;)) could try it out while I refine the proccess.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Android Development] infinitylook:

Hope will succeed. by the way you have mirrors?

---------- Post added at 10:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:55 AM ----------

when running on cmd giefroot when it says press any key to continue do I just let it be or do I press any key
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Android Development] lowtraxx:
Follow the giefroot instructions and press a key. For the Wifi and Bluetooth issues; If you flash a update zip you will need to do a factory reset, because otherwise your device could act funny, as configuration data from the D6603 is still there and needs to be erased.

Working for me!

I've managed to get my device back onto rooted stock firmware with locked bootloader and the DRM keys intact. Created a guide for this here.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Android Development] jaime4272:
thank you. ill keep trying even thought i'm a hard time but ill get to it thanks
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Android Development] lowtraxx:
Do not despair. It works, as proven by the people in this thread. You will work it out. For flashing to rooted stock use the tutorial from [MENTION=5372836]CubicU07[/MENTION] in this post.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Android Development] jaime4272:
well I did manage to root even thought I took me some time. but thanks to you lowtraxx I was able to root and backup TA next I will follow his instructions for unloched BL then restore. thanks
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Android Development] bikeaholics:
Hello, did anybody got it work with the 32gb wifi modell? Thanks a lot
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Android Development] lowtraxx:
You need to disable Sony's RIC write protection by inserting the proper kernel module. Look here if the precompiled one works for you. With that you should be able to use the stock kernel (TA intact) WITH r/w to system.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Android Development] CubicU07:
Thanks for the tip! I actually found that out a while ago and was revising my steps to include that.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Android Development] lowtraxx:
It will most likely not work with non-LTE devices due to the differences in kernel and system architecture. System partition may work, but kernel will almost definitely not work.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Android Development] der_bert:
lowtraxx,

thanks a lot for your great work!

I hope you will forgive me a little offtopic question: Does CM12 for SGP621 already support doubletap2wake?

This feature is quite important for me. I looked everywhere but wasn't able to find an answer.

#lowtraxx

Hi i think i brick my device, i not sure what i did, but now i SGP621 is on D6630 firmware & kernel my tablet will turn on but wifi & bluetooth not working. i not able to flash back to SGP621 firmware. Help!!!
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Android Development] lowtraxx:
No, does not work currently. Tested again with todays nightly.

If you really were on D6630 kernel, your screen would not turn on. You need to start with a clean slate. Open flashtool, load the SGP621 ftf and flash without changing any settings. After that you should be able to boot up and your tablet should work normal again.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Android Development] VTR1000SP:
Tks for the fast reply! when i 1st started to flash i did hear the sound but i didn't read your OP properly so i thought i brick my device and i keep flashing till my tablet show it become d66XX even the UI of a phone & still i cant get root. now i'm flashing back stock ftf.

my i know even i succeed getting root is there any way i can have full stock ftf & root only?

sorry for my bad english.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Android Development] lowtraxx:
At the moment there is no easy way to get root on this tab. But if you follow the instructions to the point and after that the tutorial in post 15 of this thread you will have root on stock firmware with your drm keys intact.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Android Development] VTR1000SP:
but having a rooted SGP612 with the system of a D6603 will the device works normally? cos the reason i wanted root is to use folder mount & xposed so i can keep my ps remote play intact.

***update - Thanks for your prompt reply , i had gotten back into stock ftf!!!

is later over my side, gonna slp, will try your again tmr.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Android Development] lowtraxx:
If you follow the tutorial from post 15 you will have no system from a D6603 anymore. You will be on a SGP621 with fully rooted SGP621 firmware and locked bootloader as well as intact drm keys for remote play. The D6603 system partition is not meant to stay, it is just a means to an end (in this case getting vulnerable Software on the device)
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Android Development] infinitylook:
Worked for me. Now I will unlock bl. To add on your step, before flashing kernel of d6603 and after wiping settings, I also tried to run giefront tool just to allow That check mark prompt on the tablet. I wasn't going through the root at first and realized that the security confirmation that appears on the tablet the first time you run adb through it wasn't check and have no way to do it if I already flashed the d6603 kernel because it was all black.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Android Development] mick353:
Can't wait for an all-in-one tool..

Read through instructions and have the D6653 with 23.0.1.A.5.77 --

Hoping for a quick and painless method..

Any tips which procedure to follow to get it done now and i'll have a bang.. Tried the tool as is but from work so not sure.. when using the Install.bat the files won't copy over - getting Device is not supported

?!?!?!
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Android Development] infinitylook:

No Root

Looks like i am one of those who cannot get root no matter how many times i tried(5 times).

I was able to get to step 18 but not able to achieve root... anyone having the same issue?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Android Development] lowtraxx:
Are you sure you followed Step 12 correctly, authorised your device with the PC you are attempting to root with (including setting the checkmark to always allow access) and are able to 'adb shell' onto the device once you are at step 18. If one of those fail, you most likely did not authorise correctly.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Android Development] frostmore:
did the check mark to authorise pc to connect via usb all the time.

as for the going into adb shell,i'll need more instructions on doing that.

i was able to push the exploit file into the system though and was able to reboot but kept getting the message root fail.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Android Development] jaime4272:
I also had a hard time trying to root. make sure you have all drivers install for adb to work and if need to unlock the boot loader you need to install Fast boot drivers install too. ok on adb.shell do like you're going to install giefroot install.bat but don't run just let the pc detect your phone then make sure that on your phone always allowed or trust this computer so that gieffroot can do it's job now continue...?

---------- Post added at 08:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:34 PM ----------

I must say that I'm grateful to have root. thanks to lowtraxx and krabappel2548. LOWTRAXX because I was able to root and backup TA even though I couldn't make a perfect root I backed up my TA so that I could unlocked my bootloader and root with krabappel2548 method for unlocked bootloder. but thanks again LOWTRAXX because without your method I would still be waiting for root. now does any body knows how to restore TA with krabappel2548 method of advance kernel.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Android Development] jaime4272:
do you know how if you do share please
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Android Development] frostmore:
i managed to get root.

I think there are some more details that needs to be put in the instructions to make it a bit clearer on what to expect.

Seems like i was too eager to get root that i forgot to wait.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Android Development] frostmore:
Is there a way to verify if the DRM keys are backed up correctly?

I seem to be having trouble restoring TA partition to get a stock rooted FW with DRM keys.

TA partition i can restore no prob. once i rebooted, my tablet is softbricked.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Android Development] infinitylook:
What kermel are you in when you restore? You should be at stock kernel before you restore
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Android Development] Ooinaru:
Is it possible to use this method with SGP612 as well? I have the 32gb WiFi version :)
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Android Development] lowtraxx:
The method in this thread will definitely not work, you may try the one for the SGP611 in this thread which is based on my tutorial.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Android Development] frostmore:
pretty sure i was on stock kernel..

followed this post till step 9.

unless i read it wrong again...
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Android Development] frostmore:
Hey,I managed to restore TA and root on stock firmware.

again like my earlier post,i think there is a need to insert more details in the instructions to make ppl aware of what to expect.

Also, Cubic's post has omitted one important tiny details when using PRFcreator which caused me to created the wrong tft file.

I propose combining the 2 tutorials into one so that we can have all the instructions in one post.

I'd be glad to help update the instructions once i have the time.

Took me a whole day tinkering this baby but damn! it felt good to be rooted and have DRM keys!
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Android Development] jaime4272:
can you describe how you did it. I'm rooted but with unlocked bootloaded and want to restore TA but if any body can root with a better way please share with know how thanks.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Android Development] frostmore:
Follow the steps in this post till step 4.

(http://xdaforums.com/z3-t...e-drm-t3015494)

At step 5,when you create the ftf file you need to check all the boxes on the right (basically include all the items kernel,FOTA,modem etc)

then follow through the rest of the instructions.

be warned though, once TA is restored, seems like you cannot mount RW in root explorer and titanium backup cannot uninstall system apps.

you'll still have root and TA.

I suspect you just need to be on stock kernel before you restore TA, in that case, we could use flashtool to just flash kernel from the original ftffile then restore TA instead of having to reinstall the whole rom.

Any experts here to confirm that?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Android Development] lowtraxx:
You need to be on stock kernel to restore TA. To be able to mount system R/W you need to flash the rickiller zip seperatly. This will disable the Sony RIC and allow writing to system.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Android Development] lowtraxx:
As I did it myself now (installing stock, reflashing TA and getting system R/W back) I will add those steps to the tutorial in the evening once I have access to my dev-machine.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Android Development] jaime4272:
I guess I just stay rooted with unlocked bootloaded till there is a proper way to root then I'll restore TA with stock ROM and kernel and be happy and by the way thanks again LOWTRAXX and CRABAPPEL you guys are awesome

[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Android Development] lowtraxx:

[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Android Development] frostmore:
1. Follow the instructions in this thread to gain root and back up TA partition.

giefroot supports our device now. Now there is no need for flashing the kernel anymore (system has to be flashed anyway, but kernel was the risky step). Updated the tutorial.

Thanks very much again to [MENTION=3975929]zxz0O0[/MENTION] for helping to get support for our device.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Android Development] Angelusz:
Thanks for all the hard work! I've been working on this process for the past hours. I'm currently stuck at step 28:

28. Install NUTs dualrecovery (TabZ3C-lockeddualrecovery2.8.1-RELEASE.installer.zip) from this thread1.

When I try to install this, the installer for dualrecovery gets stuck. I've asked for help in the developer's thread, but if anyone here has tips, please!

http://xdaforums.com/z3-tablet-compact/development/tabz3c-xzdualrecovery-qa-t3014211
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Android Development] lowtraxx:
Have you enabled Developer Mode, USB Debugging and authorized your device to get to connect to it? Try 'adb shell' and see if you can get on the device. Added those steps to the tutorial.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Android Development] Angelusz:
Yes, I have full access to the device. Well, except root, ofcourse. :)
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Android Development] lowtraxx:
Now I see... I am sorry, my tutorial is wrong in this part. I will remedy it ASAP. You need to get the advanced stock kernel from here, boot into fastboot mode and 'fastboot flash boot /path/to/the/boot.img' and after that you are able to boot into recovery and continue from there. I am very sorry for this mistake.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Android Development] Angelusz:
Well, that does explain! It's 12:30 AM here, so I need to get some rest, but I'll continue my little project tomorrow and report back on the results.

Thanks!

Edit1: Cannot resist, tried again and failed at the same spot.

EDIT2: Scratch the previous edit, I'm in TWRP. :)

EDIT3: Now stuck at "Starting ADB sideload feature" in TWRP, it won't continue. However, I can load it onto my SD card. Now, I'm really going to sleep and continue tomorrow. :p

EDIT4: Alright, I've got root! When trying to restore my TA partition, I found out that the backup was unsuccesful and it cannot be restored. I didn't have any DRM files on my tablet. Is there anything else I should be concerned about (software functionality), or was the TA part only to make sure I can still use DRM-protected media?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Android Development] lowtraxx:
Sorry to hear that. Do you know why it failed and are you sure of it? Normally if the batch file fails it displays a very big error. Also look on your sdcard, the tool normally puts a copy of the backup there as well. The TA partition holds DRM keys and some other stuff. If it is removed you loose some functionality (Camera quality, Noise Cancellation, PS4 remote play, Display quality enhancements), but most of it can be restored by following the tutorial here.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Android Development] Angelusz:
I actually have no idea what happened. To me, it looked succesful (though, I might have misinterpreted it, because of my lack of experience with this particular device). I did not have an SD card in my device at the time of flashing.

That tutorial would restore the functions I most desire, but I'm actually a tad afraid to go through that because it doesn't specifically name this device. I guess I could follow the process for Z3 like we did in this guide, but I'm uncertain.

Thank you for the suggestion, though.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Android Development] lowtraxx:
I think I read in another Thread somewhere that a few people were quite successful using this tutorial on our device. Maybe if I have the time, I will try it myself and write a tutorial.

Is there no backup zip file of the TA at all or is it just empty? You wouldn't need an SD Card in the device. I am not a hundred percent sure, but I think the backup is made to the internal SD. By unlocking the bootloader it would get wiped, but there are some root programs to restore deleted files.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Android Development] Angelusz:
Nah, thanks. I don't need the DRM - didn't have protected files. I would, however, like to restore the software functionality. I'll take a look at this later.

Before that, though. I do have root, but I noticed that the bootloader is gone. I'm on rooted stock. Can I install the dualboot without any problems, or would that mess things up again?

The reason? If I can make a TWRP image backup of my setup, it wouldn't matter if I tried to restore the TA functions later on. I could restore all my stuff afterwards.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Android Development] lowtraxx:
You can flash the kernel with recovery with no Problems. The only reason why you go back to stock kernel in the tutorial is that once you relock the bootloader by restoring the TA partition you would end up in a bootloop without stock kernel. So if you dont care about locking your bootloader again, just go for it. But you can also stay on the current kernel and install NUTs dual recovery now that root works as expected.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Android Development] s14y3r:
