sometimes it happens that the phone reboot... what is depending on?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Die Bruine:
I flashed the odexed prerooted. But Sygic and Horizon app didn't like that very much. Kept FC-ing.

Flashed this on top of that. Everything's working great. Small problem is the gyroscope calibration that's off a few degrees. Very annoying during a tilt game like Need for Speed. Probably nothing to do with the ROM. Still annoying though.

So thank you for this...

I am trying to update my firmware to .28 but have realized that I have no recovery installed although I do have the NDR Utility app. Trying to reboot into recovery just reboots the phone. I am currently on 23.1.A.0.690 rooted but with a locked boot loader.

What is the best / easiest way for me to install recovery so I can install this zip?

Thanks for any help

Hmm interesting. I upgraded from my previous build so I thought all was working.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] boojay:
Hey [MENTION=2938897]jerflash[/MENTION], since updating to .28 from .726, have you been experiencing fewer memory/multitasking issues, if you were at all? Even with the Memory Leak Xposed fix on .726, I'm still get home redraws after less than a day of uptime so I was thinking of trying .28, however, if the performance is about the same, I'll likely just tough it out and wait for a 5.1.x LP release.

This thread is for the US variants Firmware and this is the latest available.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Die Bruine:
Yeah sorry about that. I meant .62 USA btw. Still running this ROM on my D5803. No complaints ;) .

Although I should look into increasing apps running in the background. For some reason only one, maybe two apps can run on the background. Never noticed this before.

Reason I asked was because I received a notification to download an update. One of those that keeps on nagging in the notification bar...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] arip:
Strangely, I'm also getting that notice to upgrade to .28, even though I already have this ROM , which should be the same version.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] aaronchi24:
Apparently there is a .28 R4C and a .28 R5C. The notification must be the R5C
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Die Bruine:
While trying to get rid of the message I accidentally pressed install it seems. No sweat. I kept root :) . Install took about 5 seconds.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] aaronchi24:
Confirmed. OTA install is safe. Must be a very minor fix.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] jerflash:
Hmm that's is interesting. Glad the install keeps root. Must not replace any of those system files. I do not have the phone anymore but if a new firmware drops I can still make the ROM. Just no way to test it.

A question for anyone that went through the rooting process here: How-to: root, keep and backup DRM keys, etc. [KitKat/Lollipops]

After downgrading fw, running the root exploit, installing recovery, and flashing a pre-made pre-rooted fw, the procedure says to also flash the non-pre-rooted fw. The reason for this apparently is that, if you make your own fw and flash it, it only updates the SYSTEM partition but nothing else.. by flashing a non-pre-rooted fw (and excluding the SYSTEM in the second flash), you are effectively upgrading everything. Is this necessary with the fw in this thread? I didn't perform the second flash and the version shows 5.1.1, but I didn't want to take the time to set up all my apps if I still have to perform this second flash.

Edit: I got impatient and performed the second flash as described.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] psilocybenine:
Sorry, I had a warranty replacement phone that just alerted me to the 5.1.1 OTA the day I was going to go through the process of rooting so I performed the OTA update FIRST for this reason though I'm not entirely certain you have to flash a factory ftf like you're suggesting. I have heard the same though and think there is truth to it. I believe if you're on a locked bootloader then you're not able to flash kernels or radios unless it's bundled in a factory 'signed' ftf, I think the same is relatively true for all android phones???

Of course if I'm correct in my assumptions then you only have to flash an non-rooted factory ftf IF there are updates to the kernel and/or radio that you want. So for future reference the kernel/radio on my 5.1.1 D5803 is now:

Kernel: 3.4.0-perf-gc42dd8a9-01971-gef29327

Baseband (radio): 8974-AAAAANAZQ-00086-45

I have a bit of a UI issue/question.

I'm running Xposed so I've changed the stock battery to a circle battery.

However, when I pull down Quicksettings/Notification shade, I get 3 (count em) batteries - the stock battery icon, the circle, and then a %. Is there a way to modify what appears in the Header of the Quicksettings?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] jerflash:
Depends on which app in xposed you are using. If you are using multiple apps to adjust different parts of the UI you can come across issues like of you are describing
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] mickliq:
^ it's not multiple Xposed modules since I was only using 1 to control the battery icon; there doesn't seem to be a solution other than turning the battery displays off in Xposed and use an app like "Power toggles" which puts a status bar icon on the left hand side. That one doesn't appear at all in Quicksettings/Notifications so solved my OCD.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] km8j:
I'm uber confused on how to get a ROM like this onto a brand new D5803. I understand I need to be on 4.4, no problem. What I don't really "care" about is an unlocked BL or a custom recovery. What I DO care about is retaining full camera functionality (DRM keys needed for this, right?) and having root access. Ideally I'd like a custom ROM like this but can't I just flash an FTF? Do I need to go through the whole retaining DRM keys process?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] OrBy:
You cannot direct flash a modified FTF unless your unlocked, unlocking kills your DRM keys. You need to root and back them up as your first step if you want to keep your keys. Even once you have backed them up its best to use a custom recovery to flash zipped ROMs as unlocking is still required to flash modded FTFs and still kills your keys. (but if you backed them up you should be able to restore them)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] bofis:
Wait, the OP says this is only for locked bootloaders, can I install this on my phone (which presently has 4.4.4 rooted and with unlocked bootloader)?

i own a TyTN, and have upgraded it to WM6 and installed all sorts of stuff since i had it. Bout a half an hour ago i installed some games onto my TyTN like i usually do but after i restarted the device the touchscreen isnt working anymore!!

this is a serious problem i think and i have no clue why it happened. I tried de-installing all the games and apps ive installed on it trough activesync but it isnmt working :S does anyone know what i could do to fix it cus i dont think the screen should be broke?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
First try a few soft resets. Do not go straight for a hard reset or you may get stuck on the alignment screen and then there's nothing you can do.

You have got FULL backups I hope??? If so try running one of them.

I have an issue with bluetooth devices disconnecting and reconnecting. With BT speakers, not so big a deal. It is a concern with my Asus Zenwatch.

Periodically, the watch will show as disconnected. After a while the phone will detect the connection loss and reconnect, often having to restart Bluetooth to do so.

Is anyone else seeing similar issues?

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tahsin511:
Hi guys, i bought an m8. But have some problems. As 4.4 kitkat removes a lot of sdcard functionality, i want to root the device and get it back.

1.will i get ota updates while on stock rom, rooted, unlocked bootloader and s-off?

2. What is the best way to preserve stock recovery, specific to my device?

3.if i do get ota updates, will the update break my root? Or will the update and root clash?

4. My main goal is to get that sd card funtionality back, so if i get ota updates do i have to revert the changes?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dima470:
1. As long as you have stock recovery, you should be able to get OTA updates. I'm not sure you'll be able to keep your root though.

2. There are plenty of stock recovery dumps around these threads. Look around and you'll find them. Either that or dump it yourself.

3. That is hard to say. I've seen it happen both ways across different devices. You can try to preserve root via SuperSU, but there's no guarantee this will work. The worst that could happen is the OTA getting rid of root, in which case you could always root again.

4. The next OTA you'll get will most likely be Lollipop. From what I've heard, it actually brings back a lot of SD card write functionality that KitKat killed. So it will most likely overwrite your changes.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tahsin511:
Right, thanks. Also is there some way i can copy my recovery for backup?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dima470:
Google gives me this. I've never done this myself so please proceed with caution. I highly recommend just grabbing an already dumped recovery if you haven't done this before. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2450045
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tahsin511:
Ok ill see to that, also one final question. If i install a stock rom from another region (which got the lollipop update), will i continue to receive ota updates on my phone using that rom?

Also what is a RUU?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dima470:
An RUU is a program which essentially wipes your phone and sets it to stock. As for flashing a Lollipop ROM from another region, you'd have to confirm that your phone would work fine with ROM. Worst thing that can happen is a soft brick I suppose. It's worth a try. Be warned you may run into issues.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
No, you won't. The ROM has to be stock, and match the software for your CID & MID.

RUU = ROM update utility

Its a complete factory image. Usually comes as a Windows executable (so PC required). You relock your bootloader (if s-on, not needed for s-off), and just run the RUU with phone connected to PC, and the RUU will write the phone back to stock. Its a pretty easy way to return to stock, if RUU is available for your carrier/region version.

Also, RUU needs to be same or equal version hboot, etc. than what is on the phone (no "downgrading" allowed unless you are s-off).

---------- Post added at 09:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:50 AM ----------

After you unlock the bootloader, but

before

you flash custom recovery, you can fastboot

boot

into TWRP (not flash it yet), then use TWRP to create a backup of your recovery partition.

---------- Post added at 09:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:52 AM ----------

1. You need stock ROM (nothing that you deleted or modified in the /system partition aside from just root) and stock recovery. Root is okay, unlocked bootloader is s-off is okay (to OTA). But you will likely lose root after you OTA (just install custom recovery again, and re-root).

2) Backup stock recovery as I indicated above, or find the right stock recovery here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2701376

You may also be able to find the right stock ROM for your CID and software number, if you need it.

3) Already answered in Item #1 above.

4) I forget what the SD card fix entails. If it modifies anything in /system, you will need to make it stock again to OTA. Or if you flash a stock ROM, it will also probably revert the SD fix. After an OTA, yes I believe you would need to apply the fix again.

So i eventually received my lollipop OTA this morning (UK, EE).............

But what exactly do i do with it :rolleyes:

I'm rooted (Locked BL). I obviously can't install the OTA the normal way, can i ?

I was waiting for some custom ROMS to be made available but don't seem to see any. Will these follow soon since the Lollipop update has went global?

I'm kinda torn tbh.... i have my phone set up perfectly on KitKat and it looks amazing and some of my favourite xposed tweaks aren't available on Lollipop e.g. Blurred System UI.

Anyway...If i should decide to install Lollipop (i probably will) what would be the best method?

(Are we talking going back to stock, installing OTA, then re-rooting, or is there a more simple method?)

Sorry to hijack the thread but if I root without unlocking bootloader, will I get to update normally via ota or companion app? I don't mind losing root access if only to reboot later. And does it affect drm keys etc?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deepershades:
I'm rooted with kitkat and received the prompt for lollipop OTA. The point is it downloads but won't install, so to upgrade you'd need to use flashtool, PC companion or boot into recovery and flash an appropriate zip. None of those should have any effect on your DRM, but you'll lose root unless you're flashing a pre-rooted version of lollipop. If you do opt for a rooted version of lollipop it's still a bit unclear whether recovery is fully available to you, and xposed installer has a rack of issues either way...... you might want to hold for now?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rm83855:
Thanks for that I'll wait it out for now. The only real reason I was really updating was for the move to sd feature. Do anyone know of any alternatives?

Is this normal RAM usage? I just got my phone today and have a minimum of apps installed on it. Also, what is the icon next to the 4G LTE icon?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreeleyXda:
normal for a samsung lol
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Poetique:
Pretty much every Android device ends up essentially allocating nearly the maximum amount of a device's RAM to the OS itself. The OS then manages your various apps by utilizing that allocated RAM as well as scaling up or down its use of the RAM as necessary. So although it seems strange, there's actually more RAM available to apps than it appears.

Perfect normal.

As for the icon I don't know... NFC icon maybe?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msavic6:
There is a saying that goes a little like this "Free ram is wasted ram" and for the most part it is true.

Android is smart enough to deal with ram all on its own and unless you are noticing tab reloading or other issues with multitasking, you shouldn't care about the amount of "free" ram you have.

Also, icon next to your LTE icon is for NFC.
