Questions

Couple questions:

1) Is there a problem with flashing this different CDA version e.g. region (I have a HK version and the pre-rooted one listed here is a RU)

2) If I install the pre-rooted different region version from this thread and restore my previous TWRP backup, will the CDA (region code) go back to the original?

3) Is there a tutorial somewhere that shows how to create/inject root and NUT recovery etc into a firmware that I have downloaded using XperiFirm?

3. install firmware

4. wipe dalvik cache and normal cache

5. reboot

[Xperia Z3 General] jagdesh:
I have something to ask

On lollipop now does everyone call screen looks like this when you make a outgoing call to any of your contact who you have stored a picture of

The reason why I am asking is because why does the picture come in the small circle with the big blue background?? it will make more sense for the picture to come on the entire big blue screen area rather than the small screen

Is this happening with all??

hi,

if i have an unlocked bootloader z3 dual 6633, which version of xzdualrecovery should i use?

saw the list in http://nut.xperia-files.com/ but its all for locked bootloader, as an example Z3-lockeddualrecovery2.8.9-RELEASE.flashable.zip
[Xperia Z3 General] toledo22:
Maybe is to make the system smother without have to load the full picture. But it's a Lollipop native issue.

[Xperia Z3 General] jagdesh:
I am getting small circle pics on all calls and if we all are now on the same lollipop the how come you get full screen for some and small circle for other?

Do you mean for the ones who dont have a picture set they show default caller picture full screen? because of this the case then its fine.
[Xperia Z3 General] Haters_Gonna_H8:
its totally workable with unlocked bootloader?
[Xperia Z3 General] zaki67:
I just checked,the ones that have pictures synced are appearing in a small circle (maybe because it is low resolution ),if you assign for the same contact a picture from gallery it would show as full screen.

I didn't tried. But I think that you will not have problems flashing recovery with bootloader unlocked.

i have problem with this link. is there an other link?
[Xperia Z3 General] BeetoCarvalho:
link 100% working friend
[Xperia Z3 General] jagdesh:
If you cannot access recovery or boot up at all then you need flash tool and flash a. Ftf firmware which is original and official using flash tool

I was once in a boot loop. When the phone shuts down and restarts again make sure as soon it shuts down and about restart press and hold the down volume and immediately connect via USB to your computer.

You need first make sure that flash tool is already up and running and you have selected your firmware and loaded it up in flash tool and come till the stage where it tells you to connect the phone

By doing this you will be able to flash a clean firmware to your phone and break the boot loop then once done you can root your phone and install recovery again and then flash the previous rooted lollipop version again using recovery

Hope this helps.

---------- Post added at 06:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:33 AM ----------

You are right my friend..

If you choose a photo from the gallery then it will show full screen but if you photos synced from has sync or Facebook it will show as small circle which is very wierd...

Our earlier thoughts of smoothness due to small pictures were incorrect it's just the local pictures shared from your gallery shows up as full screen.

This reminds of days when we use to download apps like full screen caller to have bigger pictures on our calling screen. This is now standard in lollipop and with all other lollipop phones pictures synced with other apps like Facebook show up full screen... It's only the problem with xperia Z devices and their lollipop firmware...

Yes. It was a nightmare. I had to put back stock kk, rooted it, put dualrecovery and then use dualrecovery to flash pre-rooted lollipop.

My phone alive now but I had to clear everything to get it working back in kk else it would bootloop endlessly. Luckily I had the basics to flash the phone, or might have been crying now.

Happens because of my stubbornness to install xposed while it is not yet stable.

[Xperia Z3 General] jagdesh:
Try to flash lollipop directly and see. The firmware posted in this thread is rooted with working recovery. It will Keep you rooted and keep your bootloader locked. I am on this firmware only but I upgraded from last Kitkat version.

If your direct upgrade to lollipop fails which I don't it will then keep the rooted Kitkat which is the last firmware also handy and go through flash cycle again flashing Kitkat last and latest firmware and then lollipop.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Burginthorn:
Hi all,

Quietly going out of my mind with this one, your help would be muchly appreciated :o

Recently got myself a Note 4, and my previous device was the Note 2.

I shot some video of my new Ingress phone/battery charger as it was charging my Note 4 using the Note 2 to film it. After making a 3 second clip I plugged the Note 2 into my PC and it wouldn't come up in My Computer :confused:

I checked Device Manager and it was listed in "Other Devices" and I checked Drivers and it says no device drivers were installed? Its strange because the Note 2 has been my phone for years, and I used it to plug into the same PC for those years and it always recognized the device ...

I plugged my Note 4 into the PC and straight away it pops up in My Computer, I unplug the Note 4, plug in the Note 2 and nothing. Again in Device Manager its listed as Other Devices.

I haven't changed any drivers, the Note 2 was recognized in the PC only 2 days ago when I transfered some photos. All of a sudden without any changes to the PC or the Note 2 windows won't recognize it anymore and says it doesn't have drivers.

I point Windows to the drivers C:\Program Files\SAMSUNG\USB Drivers and windows says it could not find the driver software for the device? It was working fine 2 days ago?

So I uninstall the Samsung USB drivers, reboot PC, go online find the latest Samsung drivers, install, plug in the Note 2 and BINGO! there she is :D

Grab the video clip, blah blah, disconnect the device from the USB and forget about it. A bit later I plug in my Note 4, it pops up in My Computer as normal, transfer some mp3s for tomorrows journey to work, and its all good.

Then what would be about 2 hours ago, I plug in the Note 2 (the same Note 2 that was working perfectly earlier) and again, nothing in My Computer. I go to device manager and its listed in Other Devices again :crying:

So I did the whole process over again. Uninstall drivers, reboot, install drivers, plug in Note 2, there she is, unplug Note 2, plug in Note 4, unplug Note 4, plug in Note 2 and its no longer recognized ...

Please please before I lose my mind can someone help me?

On a lighter note <--Pun intended. My wife says my Note 2 is jealous and broken hearted because I dumped her for the Note 4, so she's paying me back :p

I have sometimes similiar situation with win 7, but when i connect usb or sd card windows doesnn't see it at all. I tried everything, even format and fresh install of OS, but still the same. I believe some mainboards and OS itself is not meant to work together.

Try different PC, install only Kies 3 and see if the situation persists.

You can also try to uninstall it properly with revo uninstaller, then restart, install Kies and plug.

In settings you use MTP connection on both Notes? USB debugging changes anything?

That's why I don't like Win 8, it's like iOS, you can't change a thing

Right now I have TVMC on my fire tv. I would like to install KODI on it instead of the configured TVMC

Also what are the advantages of kodi vs TVMC?

I always do it the easy way, copy the addons folder and the userdata folder to a different directory. Uninstall, then install another build, open once, then overwrite the addons and userdata folders with the ones I copied from the last build. Also, I highly recommend SPMC on the Fire TV, cause its the only variant of Kodi that I can find to play all streams smoothly. I kept getting streams that were buggy/jittery and never played smooth, so I decided to try SPMC and have not had one problem since. The difference in playing streams was instantly noticable from using Kodi to using SPMC.
