Hah, well hopefully people support LB by including a stock kernel version for all roms (especially with release of official lollipop stock kernel --soon?--).
[Xperia Z2 General] Envious_Data:
Lolipop is planned to be released within Q1 of 2015

They intended for Febuary but they may not make it since final certifacations arent even done yet

But Q1 is fully posible

Anyways for stock kernel LB its left how it is fore safety reasons

Flashing stock kernel via flashable zip can potentionaly brick your phone

So flashing from a factory sin or FTF is safest.
[Xperia Z2 General] Magnetox:
Then how am I running MIUI 4.4.4 that supports both UB and LB? Clearly they know what they're doing... lol
[Xperia Z2 General] Envious_Data:
Its a stock based rom

It can be run on LB like all other stock bassd Roms

-_-
[Xperia Z2 General] Magnetox:
Yeah, so what I'm saying is CM should release a stock based rom version, along with the custom kernel, perhaps using aroma installer, asking are you LB or UB.

This is possible currently for CM11, and when official release lollipop will be possible for CM12.

That's what I mean by LB support. Access to all roms, using stock kernel.

Sure, it may be a bit of work, but I think it will be worth it for the community. There are a good amount of LB users. And once the first hump of work is done, updates will be simple.
[Xperia Z2 General] Envious_Data:
Im on UB because UB=Freedom

CM cant release a stock based rom because the stock kernel doesnt have some things that CM needs to properly function

They can make a themed rom but thats all.

Custom kernel as said isnt possible on LB.
[Xperia Z2 General] Magnetox:
Then how am I running MIUI which is entirely different than stock. I'm saying there should be an AOSP/true stock android rom available for LB, but there isn't really that currently.
[Xperia Z2 General] Envious_Data:
Miui is stock based

Yes you can theme stock very differently but CM team i dont think know how to theme a stock based rom hence why the best we can get from them is probably somwthing simular to stock

Not to mention why would they do it just for Xperias

They maintain all brands
[Xperia Z2 General] tOrNadO™:
Are u understanding what Envious_Data is telling u? MIUI isn't a unique ROM. Its a MI UI themed ROM over CM as base fw. Base fw is either CM or AOSP or Hybrid in some cases. Do u now realize what BASE fw is? MIUI is only a UI which is related to framework and stuff. This framework can be ported on a CM ROM or Stock based(which is popular now). Stock based ROMs can run on Stock kernel(obviously) so it works on LB.. U should first understand the concept of custom roms before u DEMAND stuff from our developers. Making a custom kernel for LB isn't as easy as u think, not even for a developer who's experience is like 25 years. CM for LB exists coz one of the best developers i know, letama made some sort of hack to the ramdisk for Xperia S which enabled us to use Stock kernel on a CM10. FYI, Stock kernel was of JB 4.1. For Z2, we can get CM11 working for LB, but there is one factor which comes into play. Every developer in Z2 section that i have seen are working on making Lollipop ROMs stable. Be that CM or AOSP. KK is outdated and u should realize the fact that there are very few users in Z2 whose bootloader are locked and unlockable. Hence there is no demand for the work. If there were more users with this issue, i am sure our devs would have made a CM ROM for LB already. I hope u understood what i said. I'm not trying to be rude here, but telling u how it works.

Aside to the topic now, ITS HIGHLY unlikely for any developer around all of XDA to fulfill this request. It needs a lot of modifications and hardcore hacking level. So i suggest u stop living in a fantasy world and move on.. ;)
[Xperia Z2 General] damian01211:
So, if does need that "hardcore hacking level" how is that possible that a normal XDA member port CM to XSP for LB ? Even 12...

Time to contact him for some hint otherwise no1 is going to do anything about LB users (Yee cause if u buy a Z2 from your network you can have LB without having a option for unlocking it! {In my case...})...
[Xperia Z2 General] Envious_Data:
Its already been mentioned that different ideas may work but whats been tried and whats aparent to be possible isnt easy at all else why its not Been done for Z2 else it would have already been done.

If someone has and idea and it works it will show up on xda soon after.
[Xperia Z2 General] damian01211:
Someone mention that there is not much of people with LB, maybe that's why it's not done yet as developers doesn't see need of working on it?

Well, as I said, will try to talk with the person that make CM for LB on XSP, maybe he have an idea.
[Xperia Z2 General] waynekirby:
The main reason there is almost nothing for LB is as follows

1. Custom Kernel requires UB ONLY

2. What Dev is going to buy a phone with the intention of developing ROM's for it, w/o researching whether they can or cannot unlock their BL?!

3. If they did buy a non unlockable BL device, they would return it and not 'workaround' everything they don't need to.

Edit: Wasn't aimed directly at you my friend, just the people that are pissed that they can't do anything because they didn't research first. I made the error myself (Xperia T LB) in 2012, never again will I make that mistake.
[Xperia Z2 General] bdithug:
This is my first Sony device, but even I was smart enough to research first and buy directly from the Sony store (unlockable bootloader). If you're going to invest hundreds of dollars on something, do some research before hand especially if you plan on flashing custom roms.
[Xperia Z2 General] Pandemic:
I can unlock my bootloader because i have a brand free Z2 new from the box but why i should unlock my bootloader, for flashing custom kernel to overclock my device what surely harms it in small steps and loose my DRM keys ? I know here is a thread for restore DRM keys but i have no time to struggle with it and blablabla, all is fine on locked bl to and i made stuff like custom stock roms for locked bl and unlocked bl Xperia's so yes there is enough support for locked bl and the only roms that needs an unlocked bl is OASP or CM Roms etc !

I dont like these roms (just my meaning) Stock UI by Sony is for me simply the BEST !

Man these kind of threads is kinda useless for me to even respond in here because here are people that always needs to make a discussion about something.. Lol !

[Xperia Z2 General] damian01211:
Sure, most of the rom's need UB for custom kernel otherwise they won't work.

Well, I'm not sure about other countries but in Poland for not sure how much now you can unlock your phone so bootloader unlock allowed turns yes from no ;)

I'm going to do it after my contract is gonna (already half a year is gone ! yey :D).

Also as someone mention about research. Well I done it and though that my operator doesn't lock phone's as my friend bought HTC from them and there wasn't any simlock on it.

Thought, the same would happen to me...
[Xperia Z2 General] bdithug:
I could be wrong, but if your bootloader is locked (unlockable = no), I'm pretty sure even your carrier can't unlock it. Like I said though, I could be wrong.
[Xperia Z2 General] damian01211:
I have no idea how they do it, I only know that they are offical Sony support in Poland and can do stuff like that.
[Xperia Z2 General] Mokiwipeout:
Just my penny on this topic:

Had i wanted to unlock my bl, i probably wouldnt even have bought a sony device...

Bcoz sony gives u soooo many goodies to keep your bl from being unlocked...

Back in the day i had an xperia sola... Not the best, BUT, since it had nothing to lose(no post processing etc) i unlocked its bl from day 1...

What u are asking for is basically demanding a lifetime of work, and so much money that can be saved(since the devs have to survive too right?) by simply buying a device that doesn't lock its bootloader such as a Samsung.

My galaxy s3 didnt have a locked bootloader. Cant say i dont miss that, but...
[Xperia Z2 General] Magnetox:
Guys all I'm saying is more roms need to use the stock kernel so that both LB and UB can use the rom. Like miui on 4.4.4. it's great. They ask you whether you have UB or LB and install the correct rom accordingly in aroma installer.
[Xperia Z2 General] waynekirby:
And all everyone else (more or less) is saying that only stock/stock based will EVER work on LB, I'd personally forget about AOSP/CM etc... Or get a factory unlocked Z2 or another phone.

There is <1% chance that someone will build a fully working AOSP based ROM for LB. I'm sorry for being so blunt, but that's just the way it is.
[Xperia Z2 General] Magnetox:
All I'm saying is that it would be a good thing for more roms to have a UB LB question in aroma installer like Miui.
[Xperia Z2 General] Envious_Data:
Most roms dont need that, for example, my rom is suited for Lb because in the zip you can just find a rom and not a kernel unlike miui

There is no need to give a UB option for my rom.
[Xperia Z2 General] Pandemic:
+1

Either on my rom ;)

Works for locked and unlocked bl, so like i said earlier, here are enough support for LB so why we need to make this discussion any longer.. Lol [emoji14]

Sent From Somewhere On Earth With My Z2 ^^
[Xperia Z2 General] Envious_Data:
Ive already said

There is no more LB suport that can be given.

What ever works on Lb works on UB and what works ON UB but not LB there is a work around for it if at all logicaly possible.
[Xperia Z2 General] pec0ra:
I say there is ! Xperia SP for example has a great LB support. Take a look at its development section : xdaforums.com/xperia-sp/development

Trying to flash a kernel on a locked bootloader is definitely not a possibility. But trying to hijack the ramdisk is worth a try. I don't know if Sony fixed the exploit used on XSP but not trying would be missing something, even for unlocked bootloader : custom roms like cm can be more stable when running on the stock kernel !
[Xperia Z2 General] Envious_Data:
Yes but for Z2 there is nothing more that can be done unelss someone wants to or can

If someone can then go for it,me and another dev had an idea of rebooting into a kernel in the fotakernel partition

That fotakernel kernel would have kexec patch alowing us to reboot past the stock kernel

Perhaps this is an idea

As said, im no dev so i cant help aside throwing ideas out.
[Xperia Z2 General] N10AP:
Root

Backup TA

Unlock bootloader

Install CM

Bored with CM? Restore TA flash stock.

Wtf is so difficult? I don't get some folk... Smh
[Xperia Z2 General] Envious_Data:
Aparently warenty is that important.

Or swapping for a unlockable version is too hard

(lol my warrenty went out the window 10 months ago)
[Xperia Z2 General] dilema:
What's a warranty? Lol. Mine ended about a week after I got it? Like me last 3 phones.
[Xperia Z2 General] Pandemic:
What is so difficult ?

Some people "CAN'T" unlocked thier bootloader !

I can unlock my bl because i have a brandfree z2 but i wont because to lazy to back up TA etc and i dont like CM ;)

Sent From Somewhere On Earth With My Z2 ^^
[Xperia Z2 General] o0 Matt 0o:
This is the best thread ever:

Step 1 - I want cm on locked bootloader,

Step 2 - you cant

Step 3 - but muuum, they can why can't I?

Repeat steps 1 - 3 for 5 pages (in tapatalk)

Op or anyone else if you want cm on locked bootloader, learn to program and create the rom that you want. It's theoretically possible to install cm on locked bootloader so instead of asking why it isn't done try and develop something and contribute to the community.
[Xperia Z2 General] bdithug:
I have an unlockable bootloader, but the only thing preventing me from flashing cm is that the camera doesn't work 100% or so I've heard. If there was a 100% stable aosp based rom (cm, aokp, PA, etc) I would flash it in a heartbeat. Stability is my #1 concern though.
[Xperia Z2 General] N10AP:
Lol I get that. But upon restoring TA, all DRM keys are restored and warranty is reinstated.

I just don't get it.

If people (not aimed at you at all!) Are too lazy to backup TA and cover their arses then maybe XDA isn't for them...

There are threads to restore DRM functionality in an UB.

By the way I want more nexus 4 support in this Z2 forum... ?

Caio!
[Xperia Z2 General] Envious_Data:
Id like more ub support for windoez 98

Anyways as already said we are essentialy peaked in any form of support, i seriously doubt we get anything more unless one our our goldilock devs buys a z2.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hawkeyexp:
Hi guys,

i have a crazy problem:

i tested cm-12.0 and decided to go back to cm-11.0.

To do this i switched to fastboot and flashed boot.img from cm11 to get back cwm.

On frist start all seems normal but cwm gui doesn't start :(

Ok - flashed boot.img from cm12 again to get a working recovery - worked.

So i have done a factory reset and clean cache via cyanogen recovery and flashed a clean cm-11.0 rom - worked.

Restart to recovery (should be cwm again) but same problem - gui is not starting (display is on but only black and no menu etc.)

Any solutions ?

Thx

Hey guys at xda-developers!

So before christmas I recieved an update for my G3 to upgrade to Android L from a rooted KitKat and I want to become rooted again. So can anylne advise me on what to do.

If there is any simple rooting method for LG Android L update.

I want to keep all my data btw.

Thanks. Ask any questions

Im new to the android world and xda so i dont know too much about ANDROID but i know a good amount

Thanks!
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p70shooter:
You can't root on lollipop, no root available as of yet. If you want root you have to downgrade to kitkat with the flashtool.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ItsJacobee:
Use the LG Flash Tool to downgrade to kitkat (with a 10r build). There are a plethora of guides on how to do this.

Then you root, and install a custom ROM to get back to Lollipop. Cyanogenmod 12 works amazingly well on my D851. It's smoother than the stock ROM. However, you might be able to do the CloudyG3 ROM, which is essentially just what you have now with added features. Assuming that you got the Lollipop update a little while back, your phone sounds compatible. However, if you don't use the QuickCircle Case, I would highly suggest Cyanogenmod 12. I used the case, but made that small sacrifice for this amazing ROM.

Hope I helped!
[Theme Screenshots and ZIPs] Im_Gumby:
This is a single screen theme with several hot spots and features:

Hotspots -

Anywhere over the current conditions opens the designated Weather app.

Anywhere over the next even opens Calendar.

Below the weather conditions (right where Rocketplayer, etc... shows) opens Themer Music Source.

To the immediate right of that opens the selected player directly.

These are important to remember as when music isn't playing, these areas will be blank with the exception of the play icon.

Categories are obvious.

Anywhere on the watch dial (other than the small dials) opens the notification drawer.

The top dial is currently set to open Wifi Analyzer App.

The left dial is currently set to open Better Battery Stats App.

The bottom dial is set to open Alarm.

What the Dials tell you:

Main dial tells the time - obviously.

The bottom dial tells when the next alarm is set for. If no alarm is set, will show midnight as in the picture.

The left dial tells battery level. If plugged in, the hands turn to red.

The Top dial tells reception levels. The hour hand shows Wifi signal strength, the minute hand shows Cell signal strength.

If airplane mode or no signal, the hands will be to the right of Noon so as not to be confused with full signal strength.

Hey I don't think this is quite what you're looking for, but here is the Odin file for your tablet. Extract that zip to your PC and you'll have a file something like T230NUUEU0ANE2_T230NUXAR0ANE2_HOME.tar.md5, you can flash that through Odin on your PC (attached to bottom of post) to restore back to stock. Just a heads up, that's a slightly older build, (UEU0ANE2, still 4.4.2 KitKat) so you might have to update afterwards.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psearcher:
Guys, I need a hand here, as I hit a solid brick wall and no amount of scouring the forums helped me find a suitable solution.

Hardware involved:

Galaxy Note 3 N9005 that was running 4.4.2 (bought unlocked)

iMac with Yosemite and Parallels with Ubuntu and Windows 10 with Heimdall and Odin 3.09 installed

What I set out to do: root & install clockworkmod recovery with the ultimate goal to install Linux on Android. I had my previous Note 2 and LG P990 rooted too, so I was not entirely new to the procedure.

What I "achieved": Heimdall would not work at all due to a problem that apparently affects all Samsung 4.4.2 devices. So I got Parallels on my Mac and installed Windows 10 Technical Preview to run Odin. After several attempts I finally managed to got Odin to say "PASS" on the CF Auto-Root procedure. However, the phone would not boot anymore and always return to it's ODIN state. But I also succeeded to get Clockworkmod installed.

With that I installed Cyanogen, thinking to be able to get around the booting problem. I wasn't. Now when booting Cyanogen, I get a message that encryption was unsuccesful and the device needs to be restored.

I would like to comply and downloaded the stock files for restoring through Odin, but now even with the device in the proper ODIN download state, the phone is no longer recognized by the Software. Tried about a hundred times now with reboot etc. and nothing seems to work. Even KIES does note recognize the phone anymore.

I can enter CWM and Odin modes just fine. I just can't boot and I can't get it recognized by my Mac anymore. My best guess is I unintentionally screwed up the partition table / PIT file and now I can't restore it anymore.

I am at the end of the rope here and getting desperate, any suggestions (preferably step by step) would be most welcome!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joku1981:
It's very weird that in Download Mode Odin don't recognize your device. Remember that you need Kies 3 for android 4.4.2 and Kies 3 has to be completely closed for use ODIN.
