[Sony Xperia C] myhv:
Hi,

An acquaintance of mine has SONY XPERIA C2305 and ran in to problems with it only having 1 gb internal storage. That, coupled with bloatware means it constantly cries that it has no space for updates/new apps.

So I'm looking for a lightweight custom ROM for it, along with some minimalistic GApps to minimise space usage/move everything to SD. Few things to note though, while he's by no means a power user, it's important for it to be stable (cause I'm the one who will be pestered every time there's a slightest hiccup), preferably OTA updates (or something that will be stable enough to update once every 2-5 months) and dual sim has to work (I saw a few ROMs around here that mentioned that it's a problem) . Other than that, I don't really care if it's 4.4 or 5.0, as long as it works.

Any suggestions?

Hi, dont know if Im on the right place, but Im gunna post anyway.

I got a Galaxy Y (GTS5360) and I cant find anything about how to update the android version from 2.3.6. Id like to update this if possible, as I have read it can go to android 4.whatever.whatever. But its frustratingly annoying trying to figure out these cryptic messages abiut how its all done. My Phone is rooted with superuser and cwm.

Anyone know what Im doing wrong/missing?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] LS.xD:
You're not doing anything wrong, but your phone runs best with a GB rom. I would go for CyanogenMod 7.2 if you like to have a fast, stable and fully working rom. A list of all CM custom rom versions can be found HERE. All 4.x+ rom are running terrible and are lacking of essential features as the Galaxy Y has just 290MB physical - which means not much more than 200MB usable RAM. No matetr what you do thats just not suitable for newer android versions.

Yes

Disclaimer: "Before you do any thing please follow this thread & Backup your TA key first using this thread " or you will lose DRM keys forever.

My Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact SGP 621 is now rooted with lollipop 5.0.2

1) First I flashed the normal Lollipop firmware using the flashtool which is there in one of the threads in Sony xperia Z3 tablet compact android development section

2) Then I checked in the dialer if bootloader can be unlocked. It said yes. Bootloader was then unlocked using the Sony website where you get the Sony unlock code in your email.

3) Then I followed this thread to http://xdaforums.com/z3-tablet-compact/development/advanced-stock-kernel-twrp-root-t2959720 to root my Sony Xperia Z3 tablet compact.

4) I did have few hiccups in the step 3 as I was new to Sony devices. Previously I was using Samsung devices (tablet and phones) but I managed to get the TWRP installed at this point.

5) Then I flashed the prerooted Zip file from this thread http://xdaforums.com/z3-tablet-compact/general/ftf-sgp621-lollipop-23-1-0-690-noba-ftf-t3058400

6) I did backup TA keys once my device was rooted. Since I read in many threads that backing up TA keys required root.

Thats it. Once I was finished with step 5. Tablet got rebooted and I had SuperSu installed with awesome lollipop firmware on my Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet compact.

Now I am a very happy and satisfied man since then. I am getting excellent battery life of above 10 hours in 4 days.

Since I was new to Sony devices I had to struggle a bit but it was worth the hardwork. Lollipop is extremely smooth and battery life is amazing.

Hope you find this information useful. If you need screenshots please let me know I will share it in my next post.

Cheers!

That's great, but it look like complex...., can you write the steps in detail?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] kvi:
I do not understand the procedure.

If you unlock the bootloader (step 3) you lose the keys drm. The backup of the partition TA must do so before unlocking the bootloader.

You have verified that have intact the drm keys?

(not speak English, I use translator)
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] freearcher:
Thank you very much!

I think when you unlock bootloader, you will lose DRM keys.....

Thank you. I followed your steps and everything works fine. I can connect to PS4 remotely using LTE without any problem.

But is it possible to get a working TWRP? I can't get into recovery mode after rooting and flash the device. Any solution? I need to flash xposed via TWRP...Thanks.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] Samavb:
TWRP

Hi,

In order to get working TWRP you can try repeating the step 3 and reflash the .img file from that step. I am hopeful that doing this will work.

Don't forget to check to check the USB debugging AND unknown sources in security options.

To enter recovery you need to keep holding the "power" and keep pressing "volume" up and down alternatively for a little while say 10 to 15 seconds (max).

It will enter the TWRP for sure.

Once you do enter TWRP just "wipe cache" & " wipe dalvich cache" once.

Cheers!

TA partition backup

i am pretty sure u need root on a locked bootloader before backing up ur TA keys.

once unlocked,ur TA keys are gone.no amt of backups,reflash official firmware or any other magic shows will recover those keys.

u can check if ur TA keys are intact by keying in*#*#7378423#*#* select service tests>security and look out for for the screenshot below.i have compared an unrooted and rooted with TA backed up and am very sure this is what u shld have if u have backed up TA keys correctly and restored them. Any errors would mean ur TA keys are screwed.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] frostmore:
Mate, I suggest you remove/amend/add disclaimer to your post on how you root and backup your TA.

It is well known and proven in xda for sony devices, you CANNOT unlock your bootloader to backup TA keys. Once unlock,your TA keys are GONE and there is no way you can recover them.

that is why the root exploit was found on the z3 compact and we are able to root with a LOCKED bootloader to backup TA keys BEFORE unlocking and flash like no tomorrow.

Please do all the noobs a favor and make the changes before someone here starts multiple threads on recovering TA keys or warranty related questions.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] hagalah:
It didn't work to reflash TWRP, it will just get into boot loop unless flash the rom again. The the previous TWRP was gone.

Can you verify that you can enter TWRP after flashing the rom? Look likes it is impossible for now.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] hagalah:
Ok, I found out the correct solution to get TWRP works on rooted lollipop Z3TC.

Follow the other XZDualrecovery tread and install the XZDualRecovery. Then you can boot into TWRP by using volume Down.

You can also install Xposed framework via TWRP and Xposed installer via regular apk install.

I did get bootloop by installing xposed installer. Just uninstall Xposed framwork from TWRP then it will back to normal. Hope this helps.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] Samavb:
DualRecovery working

Hi,

Glad to know that you have working TWRP now.

I am waiting for my relatives to return my tablet.

Once I get it back I will try to install Xposed and check for TWRP.

Update:-

Got my tablet back and installed XZDual recovery successfully.

Cheers!
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] infinitylook:
Xposed now works with the latest XZrecovery, if you get bootloop try clearing the art cache and it will solve the problem.

[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] dancress:
The whole rooting process has me really stumped on this device. I mean, I've had around 20 Android devices and they were ALL rooted. This time? What's first? I need root to backup TA, but I can't get root without unlocking the bootloader. I can't get root without a custom recovery but that's not possible without root. I'm suddenly too stupid :(

It's probably because I'm hesitant to unlock the bootloader this time. Weird, since I never noticed any negative effects when I did it on other Z devices.

I'm also so pissed off by mobile advertising that I'm giving less of a crap by the hour.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] madlive:
Since both the Z3 compact and the Z3 have a method to root the stock 5.0.2 ROM I believe it should not be to complicated to get root ported to this device. Unfortunately enough I don't know sjit about development. what do you guys think? This is the link to the Z3c (D5803): http://xdaforums.com/z3-compact/development/stock-firmware-23-1-0-690-generic-t3056413

If you unlock your bootloader you will lose you DRM keys, it has been like that with Sony since The Z-series phones (or at least the Z1).

It DID seem pretty sketchy, though, so after rooting I installed xzdualrecovery, un-rooted via the kingroot app, then flashed SuperSU 2.65 in recovery to get a root I'm more comfortable with. Then ripped out the silly kingroot/purity crap.

I just tried kingroot on the Z3 Tablet Compact with 5.1.1 several times and it failed every time.

Is downgrading a safe option? If so, is it done by simply flashing a different FTF file?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] MegaSharkXDA:
Anyone?

If so, is downgrading to 5.0.2 enough or should I downgrade first to KitKat?

Downgrading to Kitkat is the safest way. You can find the ftf here in the forums or you can use xperifirm to download.

[G3 Android Development] NexusPenguin:
Hi Swasha123,

Did you read the whole thing ?

The question asked by the developer was "Is there any ROM working with the 32GB D855 ?".

I just replied to that...

I guess he is asking so he can look into the code of those working ROM to find out what is screwed in Fusion.

And he has to do it as it's clearly stated in the OP that the Fusion team does not own the device !

Concerning your statement that no other ROM can be compared to Fusion, I would like to differ.

That is a matter of tastes.

But if you're talking features, stability, smoothness and support, I can think of at least one ROM that can compete with Fusion.

Oh... and it has data/carrier functioning :) As Fusion in a short time I guess.

As this thread is dedicated to Fusion, I won't give it's name here... it's not the place to do such statement.
