[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faelnor:
Answering myself, hoping it can be helpful to people who are new to the Z3C and wondering about the same questions:

SLiM is a complete ROM, it only requires "Root and Recovery" to mean that it must be flashed from recovery -- and recovery must be installed from root anyway.

If you want to install SLiM on your first root, you must follow the how-to down to the point where you've downgraded, rooted and installed XZDualRecovery. After that you're good to go, you can wipe everything (or not) and flash SLiM.

There aren't in fact that many recoveries. Basically, the CWM recovery and its derivatives (PhilZ Touch) and TWRP. Both have different UIs and a few different extras in the way they manage backups, but they really serve the same purpose.

And then, there are things like XZDualRecovery, which includes both standard recoveries and allows to choose between them. Why include both? I don't know -- it may be related to CM ROMs needing their own recovery or just user preference --. Anyway, I suppose what makes XZDualRecovery the standard on Z2+ Xperia phones is its ease of install and the fact that it works out of the box.

Now, you need to reflash XZDualRecovery after installing a new ROM. There's a part of it that resides in the system partition and you'll lose it when you flash a new ROM; that's a big difference from what I was used to on the GNex, and many custom ROMs already include the necessary files. Be sure to check that before you flash, though.

I was mistaken, no ROM comes with a "previous ROM" requirement. Some packages (debloat releases such as serajr's for example) require an already present and rooted ROM to be installed, as they don't contain the whole system + data. They are not complete ROMs and must be flashed onto an existing, rooted ROM of the same version.

There is no real difference between ROM and "firmware", the latter is mostly what Sony uses to describe their flashable tool format releases while the former is more often used to describe custom releases. As a consequence, you'll more often see Sony's stock .FTF files described as "firmwares", and custom flashable .zip files as "ROMs".

In the end, here is what I ended up doing yesterday to my new Orange FR Z3C:

Follow the how-to to:

install the PC drivers;

downgrade to 23.0.A.2.93 stock firmware;

root the phone;

install XZDualRecovery;

Download Pandemic's pre-rooted stock 5.1.1 rom (23.4.A.0.546), reboot to recovery and flash it;

Download serajr's debloated, pre-rooted system and flash it;

Download and flash RICDefeat just to be safe;

Download and flash/install the Xposed framework and serajr's Xperia Xposed, although right now I only use it for its ability to load custom icon packs.

Huge thanks to everyone involved in the development of these tools, apps and ROMs.

Did avg run a scan? If yes, it will have detected wifikill as a malware, so go to analysis report, you should have a way to add exceptions.

hello,

first of all, sorry for my bad english.

1. I didn't found anything here about sim unlocking my SPV M650. will lokiwiz3 work?

2. my spv is on Orange ROM, how could i move on wm6 and where could i download it, before having cidunlocked my m650?

3. I saw on the internet that someone succeed in installing a plugin simulating the Touchflo, as on HTC touch (!!!), where could i find it?

many thx. :)
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] magpie2000k:
Hi PMUSA

all the answer to your questions are in the forums.

Just search the topics.

You need USPL to load a rom from here that is not designed firstly for your phone..
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] pmusa:
ok magpie2000K, thx, i already viewed this topic about USPL:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=311403

but nothing about SIM unlocking :)

moreover, i would like to know where i could find a WM6 for my SPV M650. I have the Shap's HTC Tytn ROM on my external hard disk drive, will it also work for the M650????

because in the topic it says:

"This means you can flash ANY ROM to your Artemis after flashing USPL on it"

thx for your precisions :)
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] redski:
pmusa

well that's because no one has been able to come up with a way to unlock it yet (atleast none for free). you'll find two ways to sim unlock your phone here, if you'll just browse through the forums in artemis upgrading topic. but you'll have to pay for it via paypal.

about the wm6 rom, you can find one in the topic artemis mobile 6. there's a thread there that's especially started for french spv m650 users. sorry i can't post the links though, but you'll find them easily enough.
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] redski:

here is the link for the sim unlocking (not for free)

and for wm6 for spv

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=313713

i also have spv m650 but i couldn't get my gps to work with wm6, eventually i returned it to original spv orange rom.

i hope yours will be okay.
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] pmusa:
thx redski. :)

i'm installing, i'll leave a feedback.

so, currently, there isn't any other way to SIM unlock the SPV M650? :(

the only one is imei-check? 30€, omg...

maybe HERMES sim unlocker v3 should work, i'll pray and try. ^^
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] redski:
please let me know if it does, and also if your gps works after upgrading to wm6.

thanks!!!
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] pmusa:
so, i upgraded to WM6 using Tom's BnB ROM, because i heared it supports GPS on SPV M650, but... i forgot to test it! (lol :S) I was'nt satisfied because it was too skinned, virtualkeyboard skinned too and QWERTY, so i "uninstalled" it and moved on Official HTC's ROM for the P3300. But the GPS currently doesn't work on HTC rom.:(

So now i am going to download Orange's latest ROM and flash it, i will also apply htc_default.tsk theme because Orange's theme sucks :p

...

Is someone working on how to unlock the Artemis with a software like lokiwiz????
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] AD10:
...Once upon a time....

...Pof, Perjan and many other good men were working on a software to SIM unlock...perhaps possible CID Unlock the ARTEMIS, but other demands in life - exams, work around and very many things made the effort die a natural death....

I can only advise you not to wait up for it.

Go the previous ways advised - I would hassle tupisdin, if I wasn't given a free code to SIM Unlock mine - For SIM Unlock

...and the USPL developed by pof empowers me to flash..so I don't need to give imei-check.co.uk any more money.
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] pmusa:
sorry, i did'nt understand. do you mean that i should contact tupisdin so that he could give me a free simunlock code?

or do you mean that USPL also simunlock the artemis?
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] grun:
There is no free simunlocker for the Artemis. The Lokiwiz thingy does not work on this model. The USPL only cid-unlocks your device temporarily so that you are able to flash another ROM, but it does not unlock the sim.
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] pmusa:
ok now it's clear.

30€ is too expensive (imei-check)

who is tupisdin and how much a simunlocking costs?

thx
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] grun:
I don't know, so why don't you ask him? There is a thread called Sim Unlock when you scroll down a few lines. That thread is made by tupisdin.
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] pmusa:
yes, i sent him a PM.

thx

redski> i moved on Orange's latest ROM, now GPS works again...

I have a Nook Glowlight bought Oct 2013. I rooted it back then but really just use as standard e-book now. Yesterday (~22mth old) the glow stopped working. The light symbol still changes and I've tried 2sec on the n button and via the menu to turn it on and off. I've gone to power off, waited a few minutes then powered back on. Battery is currently at 87% but running of charger doesn't make any difference I still can't turn the backlight on. Is there a firmware fix for this or is it just that my LED string (or driver) has blown? Not impressed with the nook reliability if so.
[Nook Touch General] thrackanomir:
This is the first case of such a Glowlight failure I have ever heard of. I have seen a factory testing tool somewhere (one that can pinpoint an exact cause of lighting failure). I will search my archive for it and get back to you.

Thanks Warszawa, not sure how useful it is with no instructions but I've grabbed it. I've done a factory reset (power on holding both lower buttons), still no glow. Seems unlike a firmware glitch would last through a factory reset so looks like a hardware failure. I'm waiting on a reply from Nook as to the exact warranty, just in case it is 2yrs. Other than that I guess it would be take the back off and look for a loose connector maybe.
[Nook Touch General] thrackanomir:
Well, a connector failure is a possibility. Faint, but present. Maybe a bit of moisture caused a corrosion there? I have pulled the LED strip from a broken screen assembly.

Hello,

I made a mistake of using a .bat file created by someone to unlock my bootloader. After going through the .bat file, I see that it nulled my boot.img file on the phone, so now I'm stuck in fastboot mode (previously nulled LAF to get access). The irony here is that I do have a backup of the boot.img file on both my PC and on the phone's internal memory, but there's no way (atleast I haven't found one) to actually flash it back so it would work. So my question here would be - do you guys have any ideas how should I proceed? I tried using fastboot flash, but all I get in turn is an error:

"FAILED (remote: unknown command)"

Hello everyone. I'm here to ask you one thing. Premise: I have a Samsung S3 Mini GT-I8190N

Last week I flashed a kernel that my phone is not supported and then it went in hard brick (I know I'm a sucker :p).

Then I searched on the internet various guides on how to fix this brick and I saw guide on the JIG and JTAG.

By JIG I bought one but was not compatible with my phone's model and now another that I'm waiting for it to arrive (it should be compatible). Instead of JTAG I saw the various components that serve and the total price close to 130-140 € then I don't want to talk.

In the meantime I get the second JIG I found by chance a guide on how to fix the hard brick without JTAG.

The problem is that there are only three/ our similar guide to another model i.e. on a S3.

An example is here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2369125

An another example is here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2581166

I'm coming to the point. In these guides are listed several things which are necessary and the only thing I miss is the debrick image.

I tried getting on google a debrick image for s3 mini i8190/N and there is nothing.

Exasperated, I always find by chance a guide on how to make this debrick. image.

This guide is here: http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f60...samsung-debrick-files-only-bootloader-1885507.

I do everything it says and the program tells me that there isn't ATF box which would be similiar a Riff Box for JTAG and this also costs about 110 €. I leave it alone.

After all this I ask: is there another way to create this damn debrick image? Or has anyone found a link to download it?

Or someone know how to fix this damn brick without SEND IT IN ASSISTANCE?

Meanwhile thank you!

P.s. sorry for bad english. I'm a italian guy that know very little english :D

Hello. First of all. Are you sure you can't boot to download mode or recovery mode? Your phone does not even turn on?

But i can't understand if you used the usb jig. If you insert this jig to your phone the phone should boot to donwload mode. From there you can flash stock rom.

As far as the debrick image is concerned you usually make this debrick image before you brick your phone! :P

But I'm sure a usb jig will work. It is just a 301k resistor.

Good luck!

Got the Quick Circle Case for my new LG G4 with wireless receiver integrated inside it. In just $13.99, the combination of both Quick Circle and Wireless Charging Receiver is the best thing I am experiencing right now. I saw the original one on T Mobile that was available at a huge cost, around $50. But still confused, you can observe with my words that why this one is cost effective and other one is so costly? I am satisfied with the quality of this cheaper one as it also have 12 months warranty. So where the difference exist? couldn't able to understand!
[G4 Accessories] Unheard:
What you have to understand is that cases = margin. The reason they are so expensive @ TMO is because it's all profit. If the case only costs TMO $5 to stock, and they sell it for $50, they just made a $45 profit. This profit covers overhead... Store employees, lights, phone, internet, etc etc.

Sellers on Amazon don't have to cover these expenses, thus they can get by with lower margins. Also, the case from Amazon isn't an official LG case, and most likely was sourced through cheap labor (read China, although the LG case is probably Chinese as well). The case probably costs the retailer $2-3 each depending on purchased quantity.

That's kind of a 1000 foot overview of how economics of retail works, but I hope you get the point.
