ODIN MODE

PRODUCT NAME: SGH-I747 CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: Yes (1 counts)

CURRENT BINARY: Custom

SYSTEM STATUS: Official

QUALCOMM SECURE BOOT: ENABLE

Warranty Bit: 1

BOOTLOADER AP SWREV: 2

Need help with this. Ive tried Odin and Kies with no luck. Have searched 2 days for a solution. Can't get into recovery. Only download mode.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
You have at least a 4.3 bootloader on your phone.

Do not flash any ROMs or files that attempt to change your bootloader until you determine the exact version of your phone. Flashing the wrong bootloader version may hard brick your phone.

Since you are familiar with Odin, you should try this:

Download the latest tar.md5 version of Philz Touch recovery from here: https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/d2lte/

Download the latest cm11 for the d2lte from here: https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=d2lte. Save cm11 to an external SD card.

Download the Gapps from here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps. Save the Gapps file to the external SD card. Place the SD card into the phone.

Boot the phone into download mode, uncheck everything in Odin except f.reset time. Connect the phone and flash Philz. When you see the word "reset" in the status window, remove the USB cable, remove the battery, replace the battery, boot into recovery, wipe data, cache, system, and Dalvik. Flash CM11, flash Gapps, download Samsung Phone Info app from Play store, open app, look for the phone's bootloader and modem version.

I just recently updated my tab s 10.4 to lollipop and noticed that when unlocking the screen the playstore comes up. Is there anyway to disable this "feature"? It's quite annoying. I've looked around in the settings and found nothing....
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
It's not a feature it requires you to update Google services!

I like this space crystal option color better than the crystal clear I had on my note 4.its like a clear grey.got my uag new color ash coming in today tooß
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] druweed:
Sweet! mine is in the mail
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] rjwdon:
hows the grip on it? I've got the official samsung clear case (non flip cover) and get gets really slippery after a bit of use.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] saanity:
I got the metal slate version, which ended up just being black. The grip is great since rubber is grippy.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] beda_boy:
this looks pretty sexy for the phone, I'll get one of these
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] fotis12:
What is the different between space clear vs crystal clear? Is space clear most suitable to black devices?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Spigen-Ultr...t=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item5b0f5350a1
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] jdubsss:
I have this case and I'm returning it. It feels like crap in your hand. The "clear" case really detracts from the look of the phone which is one of the most important things about the s6 edge (let's be honest). Wouldn't recommend it at all.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] Camboteav:
Crystal clear is see through and space clear is see through grey edge you which I think looms better .in the pic my note 4 is crystal clear and edge is space clear
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TGUY25:
Bought a Pearl White AT&T Edge and spent hours getting it setup exactly the way I like it. After a few days, I decided I liked the Black color better and I purchased a black phone. Same exact phone - just a different color.

Is there some process/product I can use to create an image of the white phone then restore it onto the black phone to save me having to start from scratch to setup the black phone? I know google play will reinstall my apps, but I have all my settings, etc. that I'd rather avoid having to redo.

Thanks!

[Xperia Z3v General] mohkam84:
Hi; is there an update for z3v with build N° 23.1.D.0.239 ?

i cant find it in xperifirm !!
[Xperia Z3v General] Mize:
Latest firmware for Z3v in xperifirm is 23.0.E.1.44 / R19B

Do you have the most recent Xperifirm?

This is also the latest firmware that VZW will send if you check for software updates.
[Xperia Z3v General] mohkam84:
yes my device shows 23.0.E.1.44 / R19B . and in right side in the same line S/O !

and it tells me that if it is S/O; i should use the software updater for the latest update so i did but i get the message error during DM session
[Xperia Z3v General] mohkam84:
is this officiel firmware ?
[Xperia Z3v General] GigaSPX:
Where in the world did you get that?
[Xperia Z3v General] mohkam84:
i had the same question !!

we got to ask bridge's users (own a z3v) to find out if this build firmware is officiel
[Xperia Z3v General] GigaSPX:
Well I have PC companion, and I can't have it find my Z3v. It doesn't even share the same screen as that. If you have it, download and share it so we can confirm it too :D
[Xperia Z3v General] mohkam84:
Its sony bridge for mac like PC companion for pc

(that's my friend's device)
[Xperia Z3v General] GigaSPX:
Oh I know. See if he can download it and try it. I've stayed positive for months now since I got my phone, but I'm starting to lose my patience now. lol
[Xperia Z3v General] Bruce Lee:
What blows my mind is how he got that info. It really makes it interesting that he found it through Apple hardware through Sony software. Hopefully that sort of made sense.
[Xperia Z3v General] GigaSPX:
Exactly this. Nowhere else on the internet has the update version number as precise as that. Download it, share it on here, you're making headlines everywhere. Xperiablog, GSMArena, Android Authority, etc.
[Xperia Z3v General] srsaloom:
Trying to see if I can access it.

However, the dang Sony Bridge application will not recognize my Z3v being plugged in :eek:
[Xperia Z3v General] GigaSPX:
The TC is quite mysterious. He doesn't directly respond to sharing other information about it.

What I do guess is trying to reinstall the program based in a different region. Try somewhere in Europe or northern Europe. Wherever it seems that Lollipop was first released and see if the phone would get recognized there. Or even try to mimic the settings from the picture posted somehow.
[Xperia Z3v General] zackdadams:
I loaded this on my Macbook.

It would not recognize my Z3V either.
[Xperia Z3v General] srsaloom:
I set my vpn in france & london. Neither yielded a different file. I guess the program just goes off of system language (hence the French in the OP's followup)
[Xperia Z3v General] GigaSPX:
Well I'll be damned how Verizon could just hold onto it to put bloat in it.

I updated my recently bought tablet to Lollipop. I wanted to root it before I do it, but it was some hell of a trouble for me to get root because instructions were all over the place. I gave up on it halfway, go back to Kit Kat, then flashed the official Lollipop firmware. I have to say, it feels just as smooth if not better, and the whole Material design looks dazzling. Once it's going for the Z3v, I'm pretty sure it's definitely worth it despite all that's said from experience on the Galaxy S5.

One thing I do hope they add is a Clear All button for the Recents menu. It'd be convenient, but definitely a lot more convenient on the tablet because of the bigger touchscreen area.
[Xperia Z3v General] DJ Sandman:
A Tech guy I spoke to 2 days ago (during a service call) informed me that the Z3v voLTE update is scheduled for the end of the month!

I assume that would be included in the Lollipop update?!?
[Xperia Z3v General] mohkam84:
i was working my friend so i cant respond

before u juge me the device its not mine i think i told u so; so i cant play with it. the owner was wondering if this is an officiel update for the phone so i post this question to knew about it than i ask him to send me a screen capture to share it with u all

and i told him to upload the firmware but he told me that he didnt find it in bridge contents folder's ..........
[Xperia Z3v General] GigaSPX:
Oh gawd I hope that's true.
[Xperia Z3v General] pchain:
Sad to say, but I don't believe a word regarding updates (much less anything else) a Verizon rep or tech says to me anymore. I guess that makes me a bitter old man. lol
[Xperia Z3v General] :
The wait never ends, no one seemed to know what exactly Verizon is planning regarding VoLTE or 5.0 for our phone, as you can see different answers from their tech support.

I was thinking about getting a Moto X but as a long time Sony user, Moto is just not my style.

Let's hope Verizon will do something good this time…
[Xperia Z3v General] mohkam84:
i think update to lollipop is on the way to z3v

the question is how the charging; signal; battery life . . . . . will be ?!
[Xperia Z3v General] pvcdroid:
There was a bug fix update to lollipop for the z3. It looks like Sony is listening to users and tweaking lollipop at the moment. I think it's good for us and we will get a more stable release compared to the initial lollipop from Sony. I'm thinking they will send us this soon, this month at least but Verizon will have to get their dirty hands on it first to add their bloat. Ugh! Oh well, in not seeing many z3 users commenting on battery life so it must be similar to what we get now.

http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Softw...date-for-the-Xperia-Z3-and/m-p/980932#U980932
[Xperia Z3v General] GigaSPX:
I'm unsure if it'll be this month either. T-Mobile released news that it will bring Lollipop to their Z3 in the following upcoming months. Verizon only has a rep stating they're trying their best in working with Sony to get the ROM out, which I highly doubt is this month.

Either way, root satisfied my impatience. lol
[Xperia Z3v General] pvcdroid:
T-mobile sent that out as a blanket response regarding lollipop updates for all their phones. I think "months" was conservative on their part. Sony has to get it to these carriers first and we should be the next priority.
[Xperia Z3v General] Mountainfisher:
On a side note, my dad's Verizon S4 updated to 5.01
[Xperia Z3v General] Mize:
...on another side note, my kid lost a phone so he picked up a used LG G2 of T-Mobile... And promptly update it to Lollipop.
[Xperia Z3v General] JediDru:
On the side of the notes, the girlfriend hates OS updates but even she let me factory reset and set up her note4 before my Z3v with lollipop.
[Xperia Z3v General] rickylambert:

[Xperia Z3v General] xuanphucn:
obviously, sony has already sent lollipop firmware to verizon months ago. But verizon has been busy to cram their ****ing bloatware to make the phone unbootable so we can go buy the new z4v
[Xperia Z3v General] GigaSPX:
XperiaBlog has the rollout schedule for the 5.1.1 updates. No where does it say Z3v. :'(

[Xperia Z3v General] corybucher:

[Xperia Z3v General] pchain:
It's fun to dream, until you wake up and realize it was just a dream. lol
[Xperia Z3v General] Luigi711:
This is what I got from verizon today.

"1 I was just asked that question the other week and I didn't have any information, I did some digging here because I wasn't happy with that answer.. What I was able to find is that Sony finally got the software ready for us, and as long as there isn't any bugs, we should be rolling it out in the next month or so"

I've been emailing sony, but they just keep giving me the same crappy answer

"The software updates are released by Google, since they are the developers of Android.

Note: The availability of software updates depends on your country and/or operator."
[Xperia Z3v General] JediDru:
Verizon is trying to shift blame. I'd believe it if we weren't the last to receive it. Sony is working hand over foot to keep their low and mid range devices updated. Verizon couldn't be bothered to offer support. The big picture is Verizon has stopped supporting a flagship phone released at the end of October of last year.
[Xperia Z3v General] tsachi:
Completely agree. Sony had lollipop updates for two year and older phones already rolling out and is now in second round of updates for z2 and z3. Only way Verizon just got an update is that they're shipping the 5.0 and going straight to 5.1, which means they took 5 months to work on 5.0 just to decide to redo it all
[Xperia Z3v General] JediDru:
I invite everyone to call and tweet and respond to Facebook posts by vzw. I might make some brutally honest memes and circulate them. I've been calling them everyday for the last 4 days to leave a complant due to non support.
[Xperia Z3v General] Kfc.:
Jedi, it would be nice if you can share your "template" with is so we can just modify a bit and keep bothering them :)
[Xperia Z3v General] xuanphucn:
I'm in guys, I'm done with this verizon bull****. It's time to bug the hell out of them
[Xperia Z3v General] JediDru:
All I have done is call to log a complaint with vzw as to not having volte once everyday. I point out it has been promised in an update since November 2014. 8 months is completely unacceptable. I troll all the twitter profiles of Sony and vzw. Everytime something is tweeted I just pick whatever reason I'm upset about at the moment to point out we are being left behind. Annoying but better then nothing. To think I had never really used twitter before.
[Xperia Z3v General] JediDru:

[Xperia Z3v General] JediDru:

[Xperia Z3v General] Kfc.:

[Xperia Z3v General] pchain:
I have 3 Z3v's on my account. I've contacted them several times, each time they say they will pass my concerns onto their superiors. I do this about once every three weeks. Nothing comes of it. No surprise.
[Xperia Z3v General] Stephen_Victor:
I've been trying! I've harassed them on Twitter, wrote a blog post and approached Android blogs to write about this mess. Nada!

I really want to keep this phone; owned it for 2 weeks so far and it has been such a surprise. I LOVE SONY ANDROIDS NOW. But Verizon just can't do their job and keep the show going. If the S6 Mini or new Moto G or X are good, I'm bouncing. And it'll be a damn shame.
[Xperia Z3v General] GigaSPX:
I know how frustrating this must be. The only least hope I have to say is the release of the Z4v so maybe something will be pushed for the Z3v. It's ironic though that Sony confirmed themselves that the Z3v will get lollipop when lollipop was a big thing coming out.

I just want to enjoy what I can with my Xperia device since I got the Sony MDR-NC31EM. Being noise cancelling, they're too amazing of a headset to not take advantage of with this technology.
[Xperia Z3v General] Stephen_Victor:
I shouldn't have to get the Z4V to get Lollipop. Plus, the 2K screen and SD810 will eat up the battery which wouldn't be any larger so I've read. Having an 801 with 1080p is a perfect pairing.
[Xperia Z3v General] GigaSPX:
I know what the Z3v has is perfect enough as it is. Even the promotional website for the Z4v says 27 hours WITH stamina mode. They've confirmed it's a powerhouse that eats up battery faster than the other Xperias out there already.
[Xperia Z3v General] mohkam84:
no still on the same fw :(
[Xperia Z3v General] mohkam84:
i think VZ want us to buy the z4v thats why they cancled the lollipop update ............................
[Xperia Z3v General] corybucher:
Did they actually post that they cancelled it or are you venting?
[Xperia Z3v General] mohkam84:
i just think that it's toooo late now; and for some marketing reasons.......
[Xperia Z3v General] darker_slayer:
Nah, they take their sweet time with everything just about. Anytime something has been done quickly through the VZW "approved update" procedure has been the exception, not the rule

I recall they rolled the ICS update to some moto phones after KK was announced. All the update nonsense gets a little fuzzy after a while
[Xperia Z3v General] pvcdroid:
Vzw and Sony have really let us down with no communication. I'm actually surprised but think 5.1 will be what we get first eventually. If we go through a 5.0 update and then 5.1, I'll feel really screwed.
[Xperia Z3v General] GigaSPX:
Any Lollipop update is better than the last remaining Z series phone to be left on KitKat.
[Xperia Z3v General] TaNi-BC:
oh my god :( last week, i bought a z3v .

in present anyone up to 5.0 ?
[Xperia Z3v General] BladeRunner:

[Xperia Z3v General] Kfc.:
I kept asking them on Twitter, so far they told me no future plan for upgrade
[Xperia Z3v General] XPS-Lionel:
Every time I get a call when im on foxfi, I look at my razr and think about my decision. I find it odd that I cant even set the sony to LTE only in elixr unlike the razr which would allow data only and no calls. When I change it on the sony it just ask me if I would like to change back to "global".
[Xperia Z3v General] xuanphucn:
u'd better return it.
[Xperia Z3v General] JediDru:
Verizon is strange on their device value for the trade in. The z3v is worth $320 and a note 4 is only worth $236. Tempting to ditch this phone. Wouldn't know what to get after that.
[Xperia Z3v General] XPS-Lionel:
Ive been eyeballing the moto x style
[Xperia Z3v General] GigaSPX:
As nice as the new Moto X is along with the One Plus 2, I'd still prefer a new Sony phone because of the amount of effort they have to putting 2 days of battery along with waterproofing. If I wanted a phablet, I'd go with either the Note 4/5 or the newly announced Xperia C5 Ultra. New phone, the Z5 leaks looks incredibly promising with the new power button design and fingerprint scanner.

Anyhow, having Verizon and wanting a Sony phone is what I get now.
[Xperia Z3v General] JediDru:
I've been eyeballing the HTC m9 and LG G4. I want to keep the use of a SD card. G4 supposedly has a nice camera.
[Xperia Z3v General] israelm5280:
I just bought the Z3v as well. Kind of annoyed that there's no lollipop update. Does anyones Vote work on their phone? I had an update saying it wasbinstallimg it, but I don't see it anywhere.
