I have a question about this: I currently have the stock 20H firmware(rooted). If I install this with the LG Tool, will I lose TWRP and root?

Later edit: Sorry, I misclicked and posted in the wrong thread. I hope a mod will notice and delete this post. :(

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Edoardo001:
One hour ago when i take the phone from my bag, i noticed that my phone was power off. I supposed that the phone was low battery and i decided to put it in charge. But the phone not charge normal. the google screen appear and disappear in loop. If i detach the cable the phone doesn't start. If i turn on in bootloader mode the phone shut down after one second.

Sorry for my bad inglish. I'm desperate :banghead::banghead::banghead: please help me, the phone is rooted and with non stock ROM.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BaltazarIX:
I had same situation on my Xperia S. I Installed ROM, and when I had low battery I rebooted phone. Everything stopped on Xperia Logo screen and my phone won;t turned on and then battery was empty. Firstly I Could not to do but when I was reading something on XDA I found out that I should charge some power on my phone, then Flash a clean rom. Try to charge your phone, then use Nexus Root Toolkit and pick option to Install stock ROM if your device is on bootlopp etc.

Or if you have installed TWRP for example try to install ROM again after charging

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FunDionysus:
Do you have it in a case? If so the power button on the case could be continually pressing on the actual N5 button. Remove from the case, and test.

No, no Keys, now i have no problem. The Phone works great and i have flashed factory image
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Corvussimo:
I'm wondering it anyone knows anything about what appears to be two little buttons on the back of the Galaxy Alpha, after you take the battery cover off. They are to the left of the battery, and are marked "L" and "R." Are these buttons at all, and if so, what do they do? Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] sqllz:
Its not buttons. Under that plugs are some connectors (from ifixit):
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Corvussimo:
I took a look at a SM-G850A (no little covers over the "buttons" and figured they were connectors. NOW, what are the connectors for?
[HTC Excalibur] micrors4racer:
Is it possible to do so? I want to use it on Cingular. If not then what do you guys suggest for unlocking? I am thinking gsm liberty is good unless you guys know any place that is cheaper.

-Thanks
[HTC Excalibur] jeg815:
I'm 99% sure that you can unlock it and use it on Cingular.
[HTC Excalibur] micrors4racer:
Yea, that i know. My question is is there a free way to unlock it like the hermes series or do i have to shell out $38?
[HTC Excalibur] JAO619:
I bought my unlock code on eBay for 28$ from dtdtwireless and it worked fine if you want to check him out.
[HTC Excalibur] omaralt:
if the phone is a tmobile phone, they'll unlock it for u for free.
[HTC Excalibur] micrors4racer:
Alright so they are all pretty standard on prices. 30-40 dollars. Ont the t-mobile thing, what would they ask if I called in? Keep in mind i dont have a t-mobile service. Or I can get a friend to do it but I want to train him on what to say first. You have any experience on calling them and asking for a unlock code?
[HTC Excalibur] omaralt:
ya i called in myself and did it, you gotta give them the imei number, and then they send it out, and then u'll recieve an unlock code within a few weeks ( i actually called in after like 2 weeks and they gave it to me over the phone, and then i recieved the email like 10 days later)

however i am a tmobile customer, but i'm pretty sure that you can give the phone to any tmobile customer and they can do it for u, as long as the phone is a tmobile phone. good luck

so you can 30-40$ and get it unlocked right away or wait like 2 weeks and do it for free

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] DJ Scooby Doo:
I have a quick question for you guys, what is if there is any difference between the T-Mo and the AT&T variants of the Note II? I currently own an unlocked AT&T version of it, but soon I will also own the T-Mobile version of it. I know T-Mobile's does not have KitKat and is stuck back at Jellybean 4.3. After that, is all I can think of a difference. I currently do have T-Mobile. Will I be making a huge mistake by going to that variant?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] creepyncrawly:
I would think the frequency bands available would be different. You could check that easily enough by looking at the specifications.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] getyroks:
The thing that pops into my head first would be wifi calling.. that would be the only advantage. Because you can use almost any rom here with different kernels to make your t-mo work for 4.4. IMHO
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] montecristo1:
My wife's AT&T Note 2 on MetroPCS, I was able to tether easily. It took me a bit to get my Tmo Note 2 to get it to tether. My Tmo N2 has faster LTE, both on MetroPCS, both 4.3.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] PUTALE:
I believe the biggest difference would be the HSPA 1700 support since ATT variant does not support such band. if you are in a 1900 reform then you would get HSPA at 21Mbps. LTE should be the same on both devices. Other than the radio difference the software maybe slightly difference with wifi calling being the biggest feature.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Maximumiron:
I have the att version. The frequencies for t-mobile are there but not activated. If you flash a modem you can then unlock the aws band just search YouTube for unlocking t-mobile on i317. I had to downgrade to android 4.1 To perform the Change and then if I change modem I have to perform unlock again which means back to 4.1 until I find a method in 4.4. And then reflash my current rom. My upload speeds are slower than my wife's MetroPCS lte phone but download is faster. Websurfing is about same. Lot more support for att rom. Some will work on i317M. But more research. Different bloatware. And WiFi calling is only in rom ported from t-mobile which are not many. WiFi calling is great if in area were you may not have great coverage by t-mobile. I have also considered getting t-mobile variety but have not seen a great enough advantage. If you want lollipop when first out probably only reason as a TouchWiz lollipop rom will probably be some time away for i317M.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cronugs:
Hey everyone!

I have been trying to pair the wiimote with my nexus 9 but so far have had no success. When I trybtompair it in Bluetooth settings it asks for a pin and fails with 0000 and 1234.

I'm running stock 5.0.1 with the elementalx kernel.

Interestingly, the wiimote pairs OK with my xperia z2 running 5.0.2 resurrection ROM.

Any suggestions?

[Sony Xperia ZR] sourabhp:
check if your phone is detected in sony pc companion. if yes then you can repair the software.
[Sony Xperia ZR] SirVer:
Post Flashtool logs and a detailed description of what happens when you try to boot and when you try to flash the old firmware (what appears on the screen, what color the LED is, etc.).
[Sony Xperia ZR] sourabhp:
He is not able to enter flash mode. How can he post flashtool logs?
[Sony Xperia ZR] SirVer:
Flashtool logs everything, whether the flash was successful or not. Also, he hasn't said that he can't enter flash mode, just that flashing is "not working".
[Sony Xperia ZR] sourabhp:
see the title written in bold in the first post

[XDA Assist] decorousdeviser:
My Micromax A92 got Hard Bricked while flashing. Now it is not starting and charging. I deleted the Boot Loader accidentally with SP Flash Tool.
[XDA Assist] Heisenberg:
Hi :)

Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. Unfortunately if you've actually deleted the bootloader there really isn't a great deal you'll be able to do apart from taking it to a repair centre to have it inspected. It's been a few days since you've posted, has the device shown any signs of life in that time?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] ebi4321:
I'm the first one to get the update...

Hurray...

What do you think of it? Let us know here.

Hit "Thank" button if it was a good news for you ;)

hope you enjoy it dear :)

Love you (considering the fact that i'm not a gay :D :D )

Just need to know one thing. How can I see that Sony is using Lollipop Camera API?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Zimos:
Camera app is fix auto ??

Tapnięte z Xperii Z3 Compact.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] khagenmgr:
Yes important thing fo me too..camera software should be changed. Otherwise imo ui looks ugly.. Others r ok seeing the screenshot. :cool:
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] meaniez:
has anyone actually flashed this rom and can provide screenshots/ review of it?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] TheBishopOfSoho:
That isnt a major version number increment though, you sure thats a lollipop update? I would have thought that some major numbers would change for such a big update...
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] BarajaVLC:
In my experience with an Xperia ZR, updates come first through Sony PC Companion. OTA updates arrive some days/weeks later so you can update without a computer.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Schumi 01:
Thanks very much. :good:
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] HimpoN:
Smart lock, i.e. trusted devices and trusted places , is not included? :confused:

Why would they remove this from standard Lollipop?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] leventbb:
Does this update include Number Blocking, in Phone app and Messaging app?

that was missing in KitKat..
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] milesg:
That sounds a bit odd - especially since Bluetooth unlocking is in KK. Have they implemented their own bluetooth unlocking again?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Heartkingz:
It is included.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] x X x:
Could anyone check this on their device, please?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] HimpoN:
My bad, you are correct! :good:

It has to be activated in the "Trust agents"-sub menu first though! :laugh:
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Bzow:
I'd like to know this as well. I really miss that feature from my previous phone.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] meaniez:
as far as i can see lollipop 'number blocking' feature is exactly as it was in kitkat,

that feature was requested on the official sony mobile forums, their response/solution is as follows:

Main Menu > Contacts > Tap on the contact you want to block > Edit that contact > Menu Button > Tick the "All calls to voicemail" box. Please be aware that whilst this will prevent calls they will still be able to message you.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] pilauda:
Can someone post link of ftf please?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] ssinn:
Any one have an issue activating accessibility (Pushbullet or Lastpass)? It lets me switch it on but not hit "ok". Also When I try to turn Trusted Places on Google Play services FC. Anyone else seeing these issues?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] meaniez:

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] leventbb:
I hate this!!

Guess I'll start using a third party SMS/dialer app.. SMS is a security issue as I use a lot of SMS passcode sending services for authentication. Even AOSP has this, why Sony doesn't add this.. :/
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] krugu:
Google play service

After update to 5.0.2 I get Google play service update to 6.7.76.

But already there are others newer versions.

Did someone notice that? Probably battery drain??
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] LoeWn:

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] fastlone:

Any1 has any idea to switch off small apps without root?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] matthiastan5:
Yes it's terrible. With so many apps open you take so long to close them all. :(
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] ssinn:

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] x X x:
I will check this. I also noticed, that this setting changes randomly (I can hear it changed, however the setup/profile was not changed) while changing track in Walkman...

Bad thing about it is that this is system issue, not Walkman app :/
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] kernald:
What's the point of closing apps manualy?

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] jacare:
Thanks for sharing, I never realized that we have that option in xperia z3. :)

But do you know a way or option to send "unknown numbers" to the voicemail box?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] kernald:
What I meant is that the OS handles by itself the resources available on the phone. Closing apps is inefficient, at best.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] --anx--:
Please let me understand a thing, since I don't know exactly the actual situation: if I install the Baltic firmware with Flashtool on a STOCK phone, NEVER ROOTED and/or modified, completely CLEAN, I'll lose recovery like if I install a prerooted firmware???

Still don't understood... :( :(

[MENTION=4418741]kernald[/MENTION] - I was joking to the gesture of closing manually every app without a single tap...it wasn't an attack or something similar, just being ironic, nothing more...sorry if this wasn't clear... :(
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] kernald:
I got it right, no wories. That was more a follow-up to my answer to [MENTION=4027542]matthiastan5[/MENTION] .
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Sean09:
No. You won't have any problems. The problems are that people who have a custom recovery with a locked bootloader will lose the custom recovery. Those who do not care about root and recoveries can just flash.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Michealtbh:
I'm really happy with LP. It's pretty and everything is noticeably smoother. Haven't noticed any bugs (LP memory leak for example) and judging by this thread neither has anyone else. Sony took their time with the update but they did it right and it was worth the wait
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Chadie:
Sony just love the Nordic and Baltic regions; even the Z2 are getting lollipop first OTA than on the z3c in the rest of the world.

Next question, this not strictly connected with firmware - anyone has FC while trying to enter ES File Explorer's settings?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] pilauda:
which one did you actually use nordic or baltic?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] JCBomb:
Double tap to wake has stopped working reliable after a day. It was fine until this afternoon. Reboot doesn't help. Bummer.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] broduderson:
Weird. It happened to me on CM12 as well, wondering if it's a lollipop thing. Also using hangouts.

I used the baltic one from the Android Dev section and then flashed everything else but system with the baltic FTF. Not sure if it was necessary but I did it anyways :p
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] FcukBloat:
don't know if that has been asked already but don't have time to read everything sorry and in Tapatalk don't know how to search inside a thread..

does xposed framework for lollipop work properly with this new Sony's lollipop firmware? has someone tried?

TIA
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] xDD64:
Anyone knows how I can set the stock lockscreen-wallpaper as main-wallpaper?

I can't find it anywere on the device :(

I'm rooted if that's important

I managed to get rid of the smallapp-bar (instructions can be found in this thread). But after that in the place of the google search bar, a notice "Couldn't add Widget" was displayed.

I solved this problem this way:

- Clean Cache of Google Search App

- Select Google Now Launcher as launcher

- Reboot into safe mode

- If it works now, reboot. Now you can use any launcher and the searchbar will work again.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] echoboomer:
So far my experience has been very good with 5.02. I used the pre-rooted zip file and the procedure listed in this thread .

I did a fresh install after wiping during the FW downgrade to 23.0.A.2.93 for the rooting.

5.02 is running very fast. Here are some notes:

- Great performance so far. I immediately went into Dev settings and adjusted the animation duration scale down to 0.5x. I think I'll go back to 1x because the system is almost jarringly snappy now.

- Glad sony kept their power-button menu, including the screenshot feature

- Battery life seems on-par with KitKat for now. This will require a few more days use to be sure though.

- I like the new dialer, good material design. I hated the KK one and was pissed I couldn't over-ride it for incoming calls. Now I'm happy.

- I don't use any of the Sony apps so I can't comment on their material design. I opened Walkman and it's still really dark looking...

- Everything seems pretty close to stock.. which is good. For example, the setting quick-panel hasn't been messed with unlike HTC who removed the "Cast Screen" button from the M7 lollipop (according to a friend)
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] pilauda:
Thanks, flash everyting went ok.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] 2mal16:
I dont think it works yet as on cm 12 a permissive kernel was necessary for xposed to work. This may be different for this kernel though one would have to try out. Also there is no working recovery with locked bootloader availabl e ATM. We are waiting for a release by nut. With unlocked bootloader u can flash twrp and try out if flashing xposed then works (or not like in cm12)
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] CouldntThinkOfAUsername:
Does the multi tasking button show the open apps instantly? On N7 LP, it takes 2 seconds to open where as on Z3 KK its instant.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] DrEzkimo:
what is the "silent mod" like, does it still give LED notifications?

can you swipe away notifications but keep the icon in the status bar?

is the dialer end call button still stupidly small? as opposed to the length of the app in kk?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] sravanz:
Finally flashed the zip and retained root. But lost recovery.. So far i am impressed.. Some times i see some dropped frames especially dragging the notification bar i see a studder.. sony has done a good job.. no lag in recent apps.. i like it..i have to see how battery is doing? May be it will take a couple of days for things to stabilize..
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] tribemac:
No one is able to try it yet since we don't have a working recovery for LP ,and xposed for LP need to be flashed thrue recovery.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] hmsdh:
yeah but it dosen't work well with the SONY Smartband only with Bluetooth headsets and stuff.

also the location based smart unlock is also not working properly. might need to wait for another update.

Also i have noticed battery is draining way faster than Kit Kat
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] ProQuiz:
How long till Lollipop is "officially" released for the phone (like through the "software update" feature)? I have an unlocked phone.

By the way, when I install Lollipop through the "software update" feature in Options once it is available, will it simply update the phone without erasing anything or will it do a fresh install?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] :
I cant find "Video Unlimited", where is this app gone?

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] tribemac:
In Sweden some have gotten the update ota now. It will just update the phone.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] ProQuiz:
Thanks.

I'm in Dubai and maybe the "official" update has not been released here yet?

Secondly, is it possible to do a fresh install or is an update only possible with the official methods of getting Android 5.0? Lastly, does upgrading to 5.0 also update the recovery on the phone or does it stay at 4.4.4?
