MHL support

I recently installed Resurrection Remix nougat 7-7-2017 build on my ZR but always have curiosity about the MHL service which doesn't support in above lollipop os upgrade. I wonder people here are working hard on our ZR to make it bitable to other latest phones ; so why can't they try for mhl support. I mean this is fantastic Sony feature which display great video quality output on TV.
[Sony Xperia ZR] eljoantonyn:
Hi guys !

I have a Xperia ZR lying around with broken screen and I'm using an iPhone 6 currently. Now, the iPhone have some kind of an issue due to which battery drains very quickly. So, I'm wondering should I replace the glass and digitizer and start using my ZR again !

What I would like to ask is how much battery backup would I get if I use the 7 roms like the AOSP ?

Also, how fluid would it be ?

Thanks ?
[Sony Xperia ZR] pratik.chabria:
Our device is till smooth with most roms and you wont get any performance issues but if you game a lot that nougat roms might trouble you but most roms are veey good and fluid to use ! Im on Los14 by daedroza
[Sony Xperia ZR] eljoantonyn:
Thanks for the reply :)

Can you tell me how much backup you are getting now ?

By the way, the phone is stuck in a bootloop and it is not charging. The red light (charging indicator) appears and then the phone turns on and display show SONY logo and then it goes black and shows the red light. Again, after a second, screen turns on and shows the SONY logo. It keeps on repeating.

So, I pressed the power down button and vol up and waited till there was three vibrations from the phone.

Now, it shows blinking red colour (charging?)

I'm guessing the battery is dead.

Should I buy a new battery or is there any serious issue with the board.
[Sony Xperia ZR] pratik.chabria:
Red light means there is nothing to boot into i think so its in a boot loop , see if you can boot to twrp, if not you will have to install stock rom with xperia tool.
[Sony Xperia ZR] eljoantonyn:
I'm talking about the notification area in the bottom side.

I would try to flash a stock firmware (currently downloading it) and report back:good:.
[Sony Xperia ZR] pratik.chabria:
i know about the red light bro just try flashing stock rom

[Sony Xperia ZR] cipetonk:
is 2nd mic issue fixed in marshmallow and nougat ROMs?

can anyone confirm this?
[Sony Xperia ZR] taman89:
Speaker and mic is disable even in nougat and marshmallow roms. This issue is still common in xperia zr c5502 model in which phone act as headphone still plugged in and so cannot play sound on speaker, earpiece and mic. I think problem is due to headphone jack. The only way I am currently using is using soundabout app which route audio to speaker and mic... Temporary solution but effective....
[Sony Xperia ZR] PluTO_o:
can any one tell me how to enter recovery mode

i try alot of methods and downloads some apps

still cant enter recovery mode :((
[Sony Xperia ZR] RishabhZR:
I don't use this device now but did u tried pressing power button with volume up or down button together?

As far as I remember my phone use to vibrate once on pressing this key combination and after a purple light used to blink then let go of the keys.
[Sony Xperia ZR] PluTO_o:
ofc i try

but no thing happen
[Sony Xperia ZR] taman89:
You need to flash boot.Img which is locate in any custom roms zip file using androxyde flash tool.

1)download any custom roms Zip.

2)view inside zip file which will show you boot. Img. Uncompressed/extract only boot. Img file.

3)follow pattern of recovery access using key combination of your phone.

4)flash same rom using recovery.

I will recommend rom like Resurrection remix which has already builtin TWRP 3.1.1.0 so no need to worry manual TWRP installation.
[Sony Xperia ZR] PluTO_o:
i cant understand u :(

if there is any video show how to do this steps ?
[Sony Xperia ZR] RishabhZR:
There are two more methods that I can think of.

1. Key combination: power button+vol up+vol down.

2. Using adb commands.

If still the phone doesn't boot into recovery follow the method taman89 mentioned. I think what he is trying to tell you is reinstall twrp recovery like you did before. That is via fastbood and adb command.
[Sony Xperia ZR] PluTO_o:
now when i try install twrp flash i get

flash failed

i root the mob with kingroot

Dear People,

I would like to guide your interest to this thread. In case you haven't heard of Maru OS yet you will find all the information on this great project. It turns your phone into a desktop PC while having at the same time running Android on it.

I am surprised to this community still active. Like most of us, I have moved on to a new device and my ZR is a secondary phone. I am using it only for things like Alarm, Music, calculator etc. So which is the best ROM in terms of battery?
[Sony Xperia ZR] Talwar sridhar:
Anyone please help me I have a Xperia zr c5502 and it doesn't switch on ,at the starting of this problem it was showing starting application 72 of 123 and now it switches off after bootup shows powered by Android and shuts down when I charge it ,it shows led light at the bottom and when I forcely switch on it it shows the Sony logo and powered by Android please help me
[Sony Xperia ZR] RishabhZR:
I think you might have soft bricked your phone becas similar thing happened with me too but it was long way back. I have moved on to a new phone.

Try to search the forum about how to unbrick your phone. You might recover your phone.

Do you have custom recovery or root on your phone? And what exactly you were trying to do when you got into this problem. A little more detail might be helpful.
[Sony Xperia ZR] Talwar sridhar:
Today I have charged phone after a long time it showed me optimising apps 72 of 272 then after that it switched on and I observed that charging skips from 56% to 1% it happens everytime now it charged upto 27% when I removed it from charging and I started to use it after a minute it switched off now it's not switching on if I charge it again it shows me charging as 1 %
[Sony Xperia ZR] RishabhZR:
Are you able to complete optimisation of all 272 apps?

Do this, while keeping your phone on charge switch on your phone and complete optimisation of all apps. When your phone boots up, see how much battery drain is there.

Since it is an old phone try to change its battery. You can get it online.

This thing is just a guess game:

Using Sony PC Companion, try to reinstall the official firmware. There should be a guide on how to install firmware using PC Companion.
[Sony Xperia ZR] Talwar sridhar:
The optimisation of 272 apps are completed and the phone has started good but when I remove it from charging and use it,it suddenly switches off and when I again charge it ,it shows 1% charging
[Sony Xperia ZR] RishabhZR:
Then my friend it is a battery or any hardware issue. Try to replace the battery first. Go for a battery test to see the health of the battery. Dial *#*#7378423#*#*, Select service test and then battery health test. If battery is bad then replace it otherwise it could a hardware issue.

The Sony PC Companion thing was mentioned in one of Sony's forums (link: below) which has helped some people. If you want to do it then using Repair my phone in PC Companion.

Hello, I have installed XZ Dual Recovery. I know that XZ is installed in System.

Now, I want to install Resurrection Remix N. If I wipe system which is necessary for installing new ROM, will XZ dual recovery force closed or stuck?

I've done backup with XZ's TWRP and have some backup firmware in my PC.

Please answer

Thanks
[Sony Xperia ZR] See_Zee:
Moved

New member here, wanting to ask :)

Short history. My ZR is C5503 SO-04E (feat. Hatsune Miku) shipped from Japan, when it arrives, it has stock JB docomo ROM (4.1.2), and I was able flashing to global ROM (4.4.4) using flashtool, and it worked fine until now.

So, the question is. Did I must be flashing back to stock JB docomo first before I upgrade it back from KitKat (jumped) to Lollipop? Currently I'm using KitKat now, and I wanted to upgrade it to see any difference between the battery consumption, because 4.4.4 making my ZR go roasted very quickly, and I heard 5.1.1 had better battery performance than its predecessor (project volta).

That's all, many thanks to xda forum :good:
[Sony Xperia ZR] C D:
I haven't messed around with my regular SO-04E in ages, but I think you should be OK to go straight from 4.4.4. You can check the specific SO-04E root/custom ROM tutorial thread here for help on other issues, too.
[Sony Xperia ZR] See_Zee:
Will it still need to wipe all data's including APPSLOG and other DATA (excluding partition ofc) to upgrade from 4.4.4 to 5.1.1? If that so, I will do back-up first. I have downloaded C5503_10.6.A.0.454_Customized_HK.ftf 5.1.1 Lollipop, was this included a custom ROM? or it was already Global ROM? I don't really mind if I'm not using rooted phone, I only wanted to see how good the Lollipop on ZR, so no need to root the phones. Great thanks :good:
[Sony Xperia ZR] C D:
Probably, as flashing an FTF is like a full factory reset. The file you downloaded looks like a stock ROM that might be customized for the Hong Kong region, not a custom ROM. Since you are curious about battery life, I would recommend looking at actual custom ROMs in the development section. The SO-04E has a locked bootloader, so you can only pick amongst the custom ROMs that have [LB] in their title. Most of them should have unnecessary carrier bloatware removed. If you already have XZDualRecovery installed, then you should be good to go.
[Sony Xperia ZR] See_Zee:
Yes, correct. Noticed that stock ROM I have downloaded is not 5.1.1 but 5.0.2. And also, I just done upgrading it to Lollipop and it's working great! :D At first, I thought it will go bootloop when I choose to keep the data (not wipe all data and appdata) on flashtool, but after 2minutes boot, it started to optimizing app, foila! not a bootloop!

I will try to look it up later, checking phone camera's now. Great thanks to you :good:
[Sony Xperia ZR] C D:
Good to know that you were able to keep your data. I'm assuming the ~25 GB internal storage space is still visible. The 5.1.1 firmware number for the C5503 should be 10.7.A.0.228.
[Sony Xperia ZR] v7:
Indeed CM 11 is more stable build.

But the latest cm12 build I mentioned is bug free and smooth.There is no custom kernel released for CM12 for ZR.For CM11 rom go for lightning kernel by [MENTION=4633983]nikhil18[/MENTION]

like efs backup or anything extra is there on this phone? for my oneplus, efs backup is important. anything here?

whats the difference between Xperia ZR Android Development and Xperia ZR Original Android Development ?? I had this doubt from long time
[Sony Xperia ZR] bidzapfc:
Lets try this. What would you do if you need to make your phone 100% utilized? I have an apk (wont advertise it here) that is optimized for battery lifetime. So it lags and stutters with a constant fps ~15. And it just doesnt work. I tried performance governor, but it seems to work better with an interactive with lowered max threshold (like 30%). After 15min benchmark the results are around 37% cpu, 350mb ram, and 50% gpu. And ofcourse, lousy framerate.
[Sony Xperia ZR] sling-shot:
Just a wild guess here - Android development may mean modified stock ROM and Original development may mean ground up or based on AOSP.
[Sony Xperia ZR] SDee96:
Android Development topics include ROMs that are a modified version of someone's official port of an existing ROM. For example, CyanogenMod - if you take the original ROM for our ZR and make some minor changes (add your own theme, change the /system directory a bit, etc.), then that topic, and your ROM, goes in the Android Development.

If your ROM has been created from scratch (ground up, as you'd say), or represents a port of an existing ROM for our phone (like Miui) that didn't exist beforehand, then your ROM belongs in the Original Android Development, and you have full rights to deny or allow permission to use your ROM for other people's developing purposes. The OP decides whether people can use their ROM for tweaking/theming/adjusting needs.

I hope I made myself clear. Cheers! :D

Hi, I would recommend keeping Sony's stock ROM - the 4.4.4 one, mostly because there's nothing wrong with it.

If you're interested in having CM 12 or 12.1, then go ahead and flash that ROM, but those ROMs aren't really awesome in terms of covering everything that your phone can actually have as a feature.

Stock ROMs are much more interesting, and you can still modify the system and do whatever you want with it. I know this mostly because I had CM 12 on my previous phone, Xperia M, and I've missed the stock ROM so much, only because of how nice the Home launcher, the Messaging app, the Stamina feature, the Weather widget, and the Quick Launch Camera feature were.

My back camera glass is scratched and the pictures I take are very blurry, worse than 5mp even in bright light.

[Sony Xperia ZR] domp@101:
I am in India. So is it okay to flash C5502 US version of lollipop.....????
[Sony Xperia ZR] SDee96:
I believe there's no solution to your problem, other than buying a new camera. You can only try opening the phone and cleaning the lens itself from the inside or just wiping the outer lens with a cloth.

Software wise, nothing can help you...
[Sony Xperia ZR] sling-shot:
It could be. There are many reports of people doing that. Try it and if it does not work out you will always be able to come back to the proper country version.
[Sony Xperia ZR] neildalal:
Problem solved!

First I thought it was a software issue. I noticed the degradation in the image quality after I unlocked my bootloader. So I applied the Drm restore patch. I got the bravia engine and clear audio to work again but camera quality was still very bad .

Then I noticed scratches on the camera glass and realised it wasnt a software issue after all!

I searched the net and found a way to remove scratches by cleaning the glass with a qtip/earbud dipped in alcohol and it worked like magic!! I have much better camera quality now although not as good as it was when I bought my phone but quite happy with it now...

Thanks anyways :)

What does the 20 mp superior auto xposed module do? Does it work with our Sony Xperia ZR!? (5.0.2 stock)
[Sony Xperia ZR] SDee96:
Hey, don't mention it. Press that thanks button, it helps a lot! :D

The 20MP superior auto is meant for Z1 and newer phones that have 20MP cameras. That module enables the Superior Auto to take pictures using that camera quality. Usually, when you select Superior Auto, you'll always see pictures taken at a smaller quality (in the ZR's case, it takes pictures using 9 instead of 13MP).

So, that Xposed module is useless for our phone.
[Sony Xperia ZR] neildalal:
In the xposed module description it says also works on xperia z 4.3 12mp thats why I was wondering if it would work for our XZR and if any one has tried it .Dont want a bootloop :)
