[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PeterGeorgiou:
Hi all, I come to you as my last resort.

I have spent hours on google trying to find a solution to my problem.

This is what happened.

I store my ROMS on an external SD and sometimes i get the error that it is being removed unexpectedly...sometimes..anyway.

I booted into my TWRP and went to flash DarkKnights ROM..this ROM was something like 1.7 GB i think and after completely wiping the device (System, data and cache) i proceeded to flash the new rom..However it flashed very very quickly which i found strange but proceeded to restarting my device.

After that my phone has been completely dead!

What i think happened is that the EXTERNAL SD malfunctioned during the installation and im left with absolutely nothing on my phone.

I cannot enter recovery or download mode!

The only sign of life is when i plug it into my computer and it installs a driver that is the androidnet driver not the qualcom driver that some people have had and fixed.

I am open to any suggestions as you truly are my last resort.

try fastboot mode.

For that install this : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2588979&nocache=1

after you can apply fastboot commands

If you want to find custom recovery, flash kitkat aboot, kitkat laf and twrp recovery

Download the script and extract it. In the folder there are all files (aboot, laf and recovery)

But of course , the fastboot command has to work ...

After that you should find recovery and download mode

Hello my friend..All i did was plug the wire into the computer and then into my phone..and because my battery was very low the screen turned on and showed me the battery low screen..then the led started flashing..and finally the phone switched off completely..Thankfully i have another battery to continue my testing and trying to fix it..but apart from that that happened with the battery im back to square one where my phone is completely dead again and the only response i get is the AndroidNet USB driver being installed on the computer.

Thank you very much for the thread you posted..i tried it but the thing is..my phone has literally nothing on it so when i put each file manually into the phone i dont know which sdb to put it through to..as the thread says it should give a lost of all the system partition files but since my one doesnt have anything on the phone it does not find them...

However, i did manage to establish a connection between the phone and the terminal in linux so im thinking maybe i have to flash each file manually that i can get from a system dump of a g3 and maybe thay will work..what do you think??

[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Serialnerd:
Never mind fixed it.
[Sony Xperia M2] Dutch Burdock:
Hi again all.

Another barebones AOSP for our D2303's. This time it's Kitkat (4.4.4). Again it's using Stock kernel and totally unadulterated code (as-is off the repo). This ROM was built using the Sony guides & is a demonstration that it is doable.

I have not tested this ROM yet, I will be later on tonight when I get time to TWRP backup my LP.

This ROM sort of works!

* Wifi, BT, Data, Calls, SMS work

* NFC does not for me (does on 5.0.2 though)

* Sensors do not appear to be working

* Still no camera or loudspeaker on call for me

* Few UI glitches (menus jumping left and right)

5.0.2 is more stable, however this is more responsive in general.

Flash this the same way as 5.0.2 in my other post. If you want to take a backup first, using the boot.img from OmniROM 4.4.4 for the D2303 and use "fastboot boot boot.img" - Remember not to flash (we dont need to keep this kernel, although it //may// work with this ROM, no idea) - We just boot and hit volume down repeatedly during Sony logo and get into recovery.

Root by flashing SuperSU.zip using TWRP boot method. xPosed by normal means after rooting.

Magnet Link - Please be patient - May be slow to start until more people seed

Links temporarily removed. Please read comments. Back soon

Extract the .TGZ

336148800f5c010a1654e55087cc01ae userdata.img

I am not sure of the modem requirements of this ROM. It may work on a 4.4.4 modem, but to be safe and cautious, using a 4.4.2 should be safe (as a 4.3 should hopefully be). However, I have so far found the 4.4.4 modem just does not get on with LP. You may have diffent mileage with different modems (4.4.4 for example). I am still using a 4.4.2 modem and don't really want to go flashing a modem again to only flash back. I will be going back to the LP :)

Again no idea if this ROM works yet

I will test later on tonight, but I put the link up for others to try. I will give this a shot later & give it a good bashing.

Use this ROM purely at your own risk

Please feedback any success or failures.
[Sony Xperia M2] AssoDiPicche:
Can you upload on MEGA? :'(
[Sony Xperia M2] Dutch Burdock:

This time the boot.img is the proper one ;)

I still havent tested this ROM yet, the missus and I were Ingressing all night. If anyone has tested, can they give a little info of their experiences please?

Tested it, and it's got a few shortfalls for me.. I've updated the OP to show.

[Sony Xperia M2] Dutch Burdock:
Ive removed the download links as I noticed why this ROM is buggy. I did not clean out the old build and the kitkat is using binaries for LP. I will rebuild again soon and repost. Sorry for this.

As for the testing on other devices, since I am not a developer, the only thing I can suggest is you take a good backup and try flashing one of these ROMs (my 5.0.1 build is the most stable minus camera.) I would like to think itd work, minus second sim function, but i have no way of knowing unless someone braves this attempt. BACKUP IS IMPORTANT. Flashtool is your friend.

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tinodevoe:
Hi guys sorry if this is a dumb question but I've been out of the loop on this.

Has there been a root exploit found for the D6603 Z3's?

I'm using a Xperia Z3 on the Canadian Bell network which is showing the bootloader is locked through the Sony app. I'd like to keep it but if there's nothing yet I might just sell it and get something else.

Thanks in advance.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Google 'giefroot'

You will need to downgrade to a firmware where the exploit works, but it is easy enough to do and easy enough to run the tool

AFAIK, there is a compatible FTF for your network, find one in the mega collection thread or download one from Xperiafirm
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tinodevoe:
Thanks for the info. Does the method still cripple the camera or is there a way to work around this?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
No, because the method does not involve unlocking the bootloader.

Also, the camera issue when unlocking the bootloader was sorted about a year ago
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tinodevoe:
Just searching around and it looks like I need to be on 23.0.A.2.93 firmware for the exploit to work.

on my phone the current firmware is 23.0.1.A.5.77 (according to xperiafirm Bell's latest FW is 23.0.1.A.5.77 / R7B)

Is there one of these that I can use to downgrade my phone?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
The carrier or region should not matter.

As long as you have a 6603 any 6603 FTF will do the job. Make sure you have a 6603 though and not a 6616. I am not to clear on the device models from across the pond and flashing a 6603 rom on 6616 (AT&T device US) will result in bootloop.

Not a problem to fix, but may not enable you to root.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tinodevoe:
Thanks again.

What does the R7B at the end stand for and does that matter when choosing the rom to flash?

sorry to ask one more thing, can you point me in the direction on what to use to flash the rom to an earlier version?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Its just regional and carrier branding, nothing to worry about.

Use flashtool to flash FlashTool Files
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tinodevoe:
bloody shame, I got this far and now I can't seem to be able to get it to root.

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tinodevoe:
Alright I've made some progress!

I managed to get my phone rooted. Checked with root checker and its legit! SuperSU is installed.

Now I'm trying to figure out how to install a recovery but no dice.

I downloaded the Z3-lockeddualrecovery2.8.14-RELEASE.installer from here: http://nut.xperia-files.com/

and when running, after selecting the first option for rooted phones with SuperSU, it there are a million error messages adb server is out of date. killing...

at the end it says it worked but I still can't boot into recovery. The phone even shows up within the command prompt when I type adb devices. But adb reboot and key presses don't boot into recovery, it only reboots back into the OS.

Is there another way to flash a custom rom or at least a rooted rom with 5.0/5.1? Ideally I'd like to run Cyanogen on my phone but not sure if its possible without unlocking the bootloader.

Thanks in advance for any advice and help!
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
You will have to unlock to install CM.

Try rebooting to recovery via NDRUtils app
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheTeslaCoil:
Yes you are rooted, but I bet you don' t have busybox installed.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Both the giefroot and Dual Recovery installations install Busybox into the correct folder.

Issues normally arise when people try to manually install busybox
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheTeslaCoil:
Not true.

Busybox can be installed via a flashable zip without any problems.

And there were people who didn' t had busybox installed after root, RootCheker said busybox is not.installed. Then they flashed the zip and voila. Perfection at it' s best.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
If you follow the NDR thread int he cross device development forum you will see that [NUT] advises not to install busybox manually but to use the NDR installer or NDR flashable zip (Maybe this is what you are referring to)

As this user is having an issue installing dual recovery I would follow the advice the dev of that tool.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheTeslaCoil:
Right, he must follow the OP' advice.

In this particular case, that' s the way to go.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tinodevoe:
Guys, finally after hours of trying everything yesterday figured out my problem. A bloody POS Monoprice usb cable!!

I tried with another usb cable and sure enough it patched everything ok.... :eek:

So now I have installed a prerooted/recovery version of sony's 5.0 which seems to work fine.

If CM needs to be unlocked, are there any other versions out there that will work with the locked bootloader besides the official sony roms?

Hello,

For all the pro's out there. How do you shoot the best pics? Landscape or? I know its a dumb question but I just want to know how you all shoot?

Thank you
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DevonSloan:
What exactly are you asking? A camera is a camera, so photography basics are the same. Choosing landscape or portrait orientation depends on the subject and composition.

As for best camera settings, some of us are still trying to figure that out. In general, you want as much manual control as possible, but some of the "PRO" setting settings are proving to be poor/inaccurate, which is unfortunate as that looked to be the best way to gain control of the camera. Luckily, the AUTO setting tends to make good choices, but I'll continue to test other modes.

BUT... always take VIDEOS landscape/horizontal. Just say no to vertical video.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevessvt:
How is your TV situated? Up and down or left and right? How about your field of vision?

Theres your answer.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Divine_Madcat:
Which is a rather ignorant answer, if you are trying to take a portrait of a person, capture a still of a tall landmark, or one of other hundred of reasons to take a portrait oriented photo.

And just because our field of view is ~equal to a 50mm lens, does that mean we should only use that, and never experiment with wider or telephoto lenses...?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevessvt:
Obviously there are exceptions to every rule, but he didn't ask about specific situations, or specialized equipment now did he? He asked on his phone. In general you want to take a picture in landscape mode.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nvrenough:
Thanks for the answers all. I know it was dumbo question but I basically just wanted to know how you all shoot with this great camera. I text pictures a lot to fam members and Im coming from an iPhone and ran into some issues with the way the photos were being sent and viewed.

Thanks much
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DevonSloan:
There is no "rule" that photos are to be taken in landscape orientation.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevessvt:
Hence 'In general'. And the same can be said about vertical video, but Google camera app completely blocks that, so....
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Divine_Madcat:
Again, says who? In my general, i take just as many portrait shots (friends, family, neat things outside) as i do actual landscape shots. There is no "in general".. there is only the right orientation for the picture at hand. If you really feel that every shot should be landscape, knock yourself out, but you are missing alot shooting only one way.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DevonSloan:
You led with "rule". Hence "There is no 'rule'..."

That said, photos are not "generally" taken in landscape. It is completely dependent on subject, composition, and artistic choice.

As for vertical video, I never claimed there was a rule, but 40+ years of video and 100+ years of motion pictures are horizontal, so it is the accepted orientation. We've had "vertical video" for less than 5 years now, and it only makes sense if you are watching the video on a phone; anywhere else and it's idiotic.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TikiThePug:
The answer depends on the scene you're trying to capture. If you want a wide shot or your subject requires a wider angle, usually landscape is better. If you're taking a picture of a single person or a tall object, then portrait is the way to go. This is my opinion, of course.

Not sure why people are giving strange (some, impolite) answers to your question. There are no stupid questions, really.
