Thank you for reassuring me, just redownloading files again although I have a question. Is there a difference from the global & uk files? Is it best I stick with the UK one?

Edit: Noticed the UK one says 2.93_2.98 so think I'll stick with global one, as long as there's no difference? I don't plan on updating software btw & to stay on 2.93 for a while if I get root!

Also, really confused but when I downloaded the flashtool file, I installed it fine, but unlike the video from the first page, I don't have a folder for it, only a shortcut that loads it up? In that case, how do I move the file into the folder?
[Xperia Z3 General] gregbradley:
Have a look at where the shortcut is pointing to...

Flashtool actually installs on your C drive so you can place it there.

But actually you do not have to put the FTF anywhere special as you can leave it on your desktop (For example, or any other convenient place) and then browse to it when you choose which FTF to flash....
[Xperia Z3 General] SalamiQueen:
Thanks for the reply & explanation :)

I will try that once pc companion finishes restoring some stuff to my phone. When I do come to flashing though, is it ok to untick 'wipe data' so that I keep everything? Also, flashing a global 1 to my UK phone is fine right? Again sorry for the noobish questions!
[Xperia Z3 General] G-FACE:
It's ok to flash the global over uk. No problem to untick wipe data, it should be fine, but if you get some force closes afterwards maybe you'll have to do factory reset.
[Xperia Z3 General] SalamiQueen:
I see, thank you. What would the reason be for getting force closes, is it because I untick wipe data? Also, how long does it roughly take to flash? I ask only because I'll be in bed soon & don't want it to be something that I have to carry overnight :p
[Xperia Z3 General] G-FACE:
No particular reason for force closes, but sometimes switching firmware versions without wiping can do sh*t. The flashing itself takes about 2 minutes.
[Xperia Z3 General] SalamiQueen:
Ah, so maybe I should just start all over again by wiping data, such a long process with my phone I feel like giving up :crying:

Ok thanks, maybe I'll do the flashing tomorrow then (please guys stay with me in case something goes wrong, I'm so nervous lol)

The video made the flashing seem longer than it was hehe :)

Oh another question... (Sorry more keeps popping up!), if the flashing goes successful, when I do a backup from PC companion, will that work ok regardless what firmware I flash? Like, it's not specific to anything is it? I can't really back some things up because of the lack of titanium hence why I would be using PC companion..

problem with calender after root

I have a problem with Google calender on dual 6633. Whenever I open the app and try to add an event it crashed with " unfortunately calender has stopped working" . I also tried to use a different app acalender, It asks me to allow storage in app setting so I can create a cancer. I go to app setting and I have no such option. I tried to sync Google calender wit it, however still doesn't work. Anyone have encountered that, us due to root, security setting. Abby help appreciated.

[Xperia Z3 General] C1emen7s:
When I do this, I'm not getting any popup from SuperSU but the tool is saying I'm rooted?
[Xperia Z3 General] Bartjez:
You have more info on what you did exactly? This is like asking a fortune-teller ;)

After all, if you install SuperSU and than try an app that requires root, it should ask for root-acces. If not: you're not rooted.
[Xperia Z3 General] G-FACE:
Did you installed the dual recovery?

Also, when you open SuperSU does it prompt to update the su binary? If so, do it.

Hey thanks for the tutorial! Just to confirm, after doing this I'll be good to flash cyanogenmod onto my z3, correct?
[Xperia Z3 General] G-FACE:
Not exaclty.

To install CM you need to unlock the bootloader. But before unlocking just root and backup the DRM keys (TA partition) with Backup TA.
[Xperia Z3 General] the_laughing_storm:
Ok thanks, could you please describe how the bootloader is unlocked after the device has root?

I successfully rooted my D6633 yesterday by following first steps. Only I can say I installed Dual Recovery via my PC folder (clicking install.bat), so maybe you can try to reload Dual recovery like this if you didn't. Also make sure you really rooted your device, youı can do these by repeating root tool several times as the steps are saying this.

[Xperia Z3 General] buidoidaihiep:
just like D6653's root method

1/ using flashtool to flash FTF version can be rooted (such as: D6653_23.0.A.2.93_Customized_20IN.ftf) (note: remember to exclude partition)

2/ root with giefroot method (search in forum)

3/ install recovery (search in forum)

4/ prepare prerooted version from stock ftf file (such as: 23.0.C.0.350_KDDI-JP) by using PRFCreator.

5/ boot into recovery and flash prepared prerooted version in step 4

6/ flash RICDefeat.zip for different kernel for D6653 (search in forum). this step can be done along with step 4 (after finishing step 5, do not reboot system but flash file in step 6)

7/ if necessary: using flashtool to flash stock ftf file (such as: 23.0.C.0.350_KDDI-JP) (note: remember to exclude partition, system)

Hey guys coming from a HTC M8, so I think have a plan here and wanted to make sure I get this right before I go ahead...I have the D6603 with a BL locked...

1. I am on 23.0.1.A.5.77, I need to downgrade to D6603_23.0.A.2.93 from the OP

2. I do that using the flashtool, does it matter if I use the flashtool or the flashtool/64? I have a 64 bit system. Both are installed.

3. Once flashed I can then root using grifroot rooting tool to get root.

4. With the phone rooted will I be able to get the ota`s? On the M8, you could have just root as long as the recovery was still stock the ota`s would still come.

5. I`am downloading the .77 firmware using xperiafirm and the flashtool does not see it? From the op I downloaded the .93 file and it is a .ftf file, so how do I get flashtool to see the xperiafirm downloads?

Will this work? Any advice would be appreciated. At this time I just want root...thanks!!
[Xperia Z3 General] G-FACE:
Yes it will work. Only if you don't install recovery you might have problems mounting system rw.

But you will be able to get OTA, don't worry. If you update OTA most probably you will lose root.

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c0pyright:
Hi, I could use any help or advice you guys might have to offer, the problem (at first) seemed to be just a bootloop - I am able to get the device to boot by connecting the device to the computer then disconnecting and reconnecting the kindle battery ( usually works 1 in 7 times ) .. I have tried a factory reset through the device menu which completes without issues but once the power button is pressed (tapped or held) the device freezes and then starts the bootloop again. I have been able to use adb to get the device into the recovery menu but trying to recover this way starts the boot loop again, possibly because the power button has to be pressed to confirm the option.

edit: forgot to mention that when the power button is tapped it asks if I want to power off - it doesn't just turn the screen off (I'm not sure if this is normal or not)

I'm unsure what to do at this stage, so any advice would be gratefully welcome.

Nope, tried and failed. Automatic and manual. Even tried the old patched version and it didn't work. Maybe I'll try a different ROM :(
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
Try ARHD 84 :good: As custom roms go It's about as stock as they get. Xposed is included in the installer and with the Auto Flash Zip method the framework installs just fine ;) :good:

If your rom is true Stock Odexed that could be the issue here. If /system write protection in still enabled on the rom then that would prevent Xposed from modifying system files. Although to the best of my knowledge /system Write Protection is built into the kernel so elemental x should have taken care of that. But if you want something close to stock you can modify you wont be disappointed with ARHD. This rom is for M7_ul though so make sure you don't have a Sprint or something before flashing it ;)

The most current version of the rom is 90.1 but it's a lollipop rom and xposed won't work on lollipop so make sure you grab 84 http://android-revolution-hd.blogspot.co.uk/p/android-revolution-hd-mirror-site-var.html

You should have GPS settings under preferances. If you go in there and configure under "other NEMA" receiver. On mine it is on com9. It takes a couple of minutes to get "cold" start nut if little yelow and black circle in the top right corner is rotating it has found your GPS receiver. All you have to do now is go outside ar go very near to the window and wait for the "fix".

i think he has the same problem as me. latest belgian rom installed. tomtom 6.030 installed but that is a red herring.

the problem is that the GPS settings in system has disappeared! it was there a few days ago and now its just missing!

i mean start > system tab > GPS (that GPS config software has gone missing!!!)

SOLUTION:

Enable GPS Icon in Setting Tab

In HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\GPS Settings

1. Delete the DWORD marked Hide (if present)

2. Delete the DWORD marked Redirect (if present)

3. Add a DWORD called Group and give it a value of 2

4. Soft reset the device.

Now check in connections... :)

So far, only DOPOD's clients from Australia New-Zeland, and South-East Asia have got an official update to go further than 1.23.XX series.

But to get back to the point, GPS should already be activated on your ROM.
