What firmware version have you got, should be like 14.4.a.something

If you download CWM recovery and install a custom rom does that work?

I had some issues with FTF and flashtools, I have now installed CWM and a custom lollipop ROM.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N10AP:
Not bricked.

1) try with windows machine

2) different USB port

3) download a the correct ftf for your region

4) or do a recovery from PC companion

hi guys,

I bought a Z3C and I just checked the bootloader is not locked .

pen the dialler and enter #*#7378423#*# to access the service menu.

Tap Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes

I wanted to know if I could flash via Flashtool software directly ? :D
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] savudin:
OK, so I've used the method described in the thread, flashed firmware.zip from recovery on rooted 4.4.4. (.77), after flashing I wiped cache and dalvik, rebooted, android was upgraded, system booted, and all of my apps and settings remained intacted. Is this normal? I expected clean start. I used D5803_23.1.A.0.690_Generic_NCB-Root-XZDR2.8.3-SuperSU.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luizlee86:
If you didn´t wipe data in recovery, then no data should be wiped. That´s normal.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] savudin:
Yes, that's it. But, did I had to wipe data? I've read that clean install is recommended. I've noticed no problems in the last couple of hours of usage.

Dirty Flash from 23.0.1.A.5.77

I dirty flashed 23.1.A.0.690 from Greatslon MIUI v5 23.0.1.A.5.77 and still have root.

The phone froze and bootlooped a couple of times when i installed and restarted it, but patience was rewarded, as it finally booted.

I can still mount /system as rw both via adb shell, "onboard" terminal and through Root Browser.

Can i be of some help with a logcat, and in case how?

I am a software developer myself, but in a different branch than android. I just can't see through how i should get started with android development.

Great work guys

I guess i should add, that i still have my bootloader locked.

So to summarize:

>Bootloader locked (never unlocked)

>Firmware 23.1.A.0.690 from this thread

>Full root

>System R/W

Hey,

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2mal16:
No, system rw is working atm with the newest(2.8.3) release from nut with locked bl. At least for Z3C . the system rw not working refers to other devices.

So when he manages to get the new recovery working you should just be able to install it. That is my hope at least. Anyway in case it doesnt you can backup with titanium backup and after flashing everything again just restore.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndreDNA:
oh!

Really thanks for the answers, but I'm not sure to have understand (first sony for me).

I have kk, rooted and with locked bootloader. I have no recovery (I can't manage in flashing that without unlock), so how can I flash the preeroted LP?

I understand that if I backup TA, unlock BL, flash a recovery, flash a pre-rooted LP (after a full wipe), flash the last NUT recovery and then relock the BL restoring TA, I should finally have LP with root, R/W, and drm feature right? Am I missing something? Sorry for the High Noob Lvl xD
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2mal16:
Go to the thread of NUT dual recovery and (assuming your on a windows pc) download the installer for nut dual recovery. it will let you install the recovery on locked bootloader by running the install.bat file. with this recovery you can then flash a prerooted lollipop zip (you can do it yourself with prf creator, include the newest SuperSU zip and the newest dual recovery zip together with stock lollipop rom) after wiping your phone. people also just flashed over KK but i prefer to do it clean and set up my phone newly again. you will then end up with a phone which has system rw and root on lollipop but the recovery will be gone until NUT fixes it. That is what everybody is waiting for.

So unlocking BL wont really gain you anything except sonys DRM keys not working. it will just introduce an additional step to relock them.

Here is the thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2261606

to get into recovery just spam the volume up button(or down since it has two recoveries ;)) when your phone boots and lights up the led.

Hi,

Am I the only one having problems with bluetooth not working and the camera not being able to save pictures?

I installed this way:

rooted a .98 KitKat firmware

installed Dual Recovery

booted into recovery, nandroid backed up

flashed the rom

re-flashed Dual Recovery .zip, as I was worried I'd lose it (hadn't realise it was both included in this ROM and not working wit Lollipop)

My /system is mounted r/w, I have root access, but my camera can't save the photos it takes and I can't turn bluetooth on. Any clues?

I've also changed /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml to get the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission, but can't write to the SD card.

All in all, it's not that fun :)

Also, the rom is not debloated in any way, so it contains all the proprietary crap.

[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2me3:
I want to create a USB powered 4 port hub setup for the shield. I'm curious as to the safety of having 2 separate USB power sources connected at once.

Basically it goes from shield to OTG Y cable powered by USB to a USB Y cable powered by another USB to 4 port hub.

Will this setup allow the hub to pull more than 2 amps assuming the USB Y power source can output?

The OTG Y cable is on amazon, "Apricorn USB power adapter Y cable AUSB-Y USB"

Will this potentially fry my shield?
[Xperia Z3 General] bluesky2111:
This is not a trolling topic. This came from a casual Z3 user.

I pre-ordered the Z3 on Sony store and got it. The phone was great, screen was pleasant to look at, no lags ever happened, but there were too many cons that took over the pros imo:

- The battery was not that great, I've installed GSAM App since day one, and now the average screen-on time is only 5 hours, maximum is 6h30m. I've tried resetting the phone via Pc Companion... no luck. I mainly use the phone for Facebook, Web browser, taking pictures, and music, no heavy games.

- I've dropped it several times due its f*cking slippery glass panels. So far there's no crack but the aluminum sides are slightly damaged.

- It's so uncomfortable to hold. Sony made premium phones for sure, but it's not practical... the Z3 is just a beautiful metal slab but not really a phone. In my opinion, the curved back is much much more comfortable to hold in hands.

- Wifi range is horrible. I've tried putting the Z3 next to the LG G3 and Moto G, the Z3 lost signal frequently, the other 2 were fine.

- Glass back panel = fingerprint magnet.

- Finally, the most disappointed feature - Camera. I don;t know what the heck Sony did to their Z3, but the camera is just average to me. Plus it does not focus well while recording videos, even with normal macro shots; Superior Auto sucks; too tiny flash; a lof of Noise; a lot of disappointments.

- Not to mention that it fails so badly on cosmetic look. Huge gaps; unsymmetrical panels; bulging nylon corners. They are not a big deal for me, but compared to other phones in terms of cosmetic build, Sony has to work harder.

[Xperia Z3 General] hzmenxd:
If you want even less screen time G3 is your phone. Congrats. I hope u will see thats a mistake I own both phones so..
[Xperia Z3 General] abhinav.tella:
Maybe you got a bad unit, mine has excellent signal I came from a G2 which I still love.

I remeber some HTC One Xs and Nexus 4s had an issue where the v shape pins on the casing weren't properly touching the pin on the motherboard causing very low WiFi signal. I had to use paper in between on my One X lol.

Anyway exchange it., if you are willing otherwise enjoy your new G3.:) But I and many here can attest that the Z3 gets excellent reception.
[Xperia Z3 General] rjhellel:
As [MENTION=6138928]hzmenxd[/MENTION] said, if you want much less screen on time, then go ahead for the G3. I used it for 3 months and nearly threw it out the window, battery life was horrible and lots of lag even after freezing and deleting apps and ROM improvements. Maximum screen on time I got was 4 hours and that with a 15 hour full charge, minimum brightness, conservative governor and other improvements. Just get a case for the Z3 and it'll fine.
[Xperia Z3 General] stuffynet:
OMG. If you are changing to G3 just for the casing form you have no idea what you are doing.I played with the G3 (the 2GB of ram version) and in terms of fluidity my old N4 beats him. Don't know what the hell LG did with the software but it sucks big time (lag, stutter, memory frees up by restarting the launcher and so on). Don't know about the 3GB version if it has the same problems. I almost got the G3 but I turned to the Z2 (Z3 to expensive in my country) and for 370 euro brand new with 2 year warranty it was a barging.

In conclusion it is your choice, but think twice. ;)
[Xperia Z3 General] se1000:
No no, this makes no sense. Obviously, going to a phone with a much shorter rated SOT is the answer. Getting a $10 case to solve at least 3 of the listed problems is crazy.
[Xperia Z3 General] Cryssie:
You could have caught 4 of these 7 gripes in the store. If you invest a pile of money in a personal gadget, do you research. You don't have to understand benchmarks and all the techno babble to go and test the keyboard and the camera and see how it feels in the hand. Shiny dark surfaces collect fingerprints. That is not Sony's fault. I got the white one for this reason.

In regards to the build quality, you could just have a bad unit. Perhaps you should have swapped it right away. If you drop it because of the slippery back, put a case or a sticker on it.

No offence, but I think this is kinda your own fault.
[Xperia Z3 General] churchrickshaw:
5-6HR SOT on a stock ROM is amazing. You can't even get that on the OPO.

I had the G3 and the average is around 4HR SOT, and that's with both debloated stock and super tweaked AOSP.
