can someone assist me in changing the nk.exe in a way that allows me to change the deviceid from PU10 to HERM100

i succeded in hexediting the hk.nba from PU10 to HERM with the confirmation that Getdevice data recognize it as HERM

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=GetDeviceData

there are 2 places in the nk.nba where the device type is found

00007074h: 48 00 45 00 52 00 4D ; H.E.R.M

00316c74h: 48 00 45 00 52 00 4D ; H.E.R.M

i need to get H.E.R.M.1.0.0 instead (6 bytes to insert)

after dumping the rom including the boot XIP i found that the nk.exe contains this data.

the reason to do it is to "help" bbconnect to recognize it as a hermes

anyone can assist me ?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] H4X0R46:
Hey guys, I flashed the new MRA48K build from the Google developers website, everything is working great! However is seems like web pages in chrome now load much slower when connected to my 2.4Ghz band. It seems a bit faster when connected to a 5Ghz network (I have a dual band router) and I was wondering if anyone else was noticing the slower load times since the update. Before this update the load times using my 2.4 Ghz band were really really good, now they're a bit slow. Anyone else?

EDIT: It seems to have fixed itself, it may have just been because I had just flashed this stock image and everything was still getting situated. Disregard this post.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oOo B0XeR oOo:
I've been noticing the same thing. Not sure if yours is really "fixed" or you may just not be aware of it anymore.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jb3p76:
Noticing the same here too. Tried all the usual WiFi setting toggles, including new location toggle, as well as wiping cache and wiping to factory. This is all after fully wiping then installing with factory images. I had the same issue on preview 3, and decided about a week before final came out to downgetback to L because the phone was practically unusable on WiFi. I'm at a complete loss here.

---------- Post added at 11:12 ---------- Previous post was at 11:11 ----------

I would also like to note it's not just chrome. Happens with any network resource, such as sftp, ftp, smb, vpn, YouTube videos, play store installs. Anything that uses WiFi on my LAN or anyone else's.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] H4X0R46:
It definitely was not fixed! Soon after I said "I think it's fixed", I realized that I was still having issues! I wonder what it could be. Someone in another thread told me that they changed a lot of the code in the radio this time for Android 6.0. So more than likely, the radio file just doesn't work as well as it did before! Someone had told me that you can flash the Android 5.1.1 radio file and it should work with Marshmallow because they are independent of the build you're running. I haven't tried it myself yet.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] InterrtuptoR:
I want to compile a kernel for lollipop, but I always get somekind of error... Can this be cause of toolchain that I use or cause sources from GitHub arent good? Do u have any recomendation on stable, working source, and toolchain that goes along with it? I compiled cm11 rom, but couldn't compile just a kernel... Do u have any nice tutorials on that, ones that i found arent working for me...

i tried with this toolchain gcc/linux-x86/arm/arm-eabi-4.6 from tutorial source.android.com/source/building-kernels.html
[LG Optimus 4X HD] mistercheese:
download the kernel source. in this tutorial we will use the cm-12.1 cyanogen kernel.

git clone -b cm-12.1 https://github.com/CyanogenMod/lge-kernel-p880

there now is a folder in your home 'lge-kernel-p880'

download a toolchain. for now i prefer the google aosp toolchain because i am not knowing the code of the cyanogen kernel. compiling with other toolchains and recenter releases (for example 4.9 5.0 5.1 5.1 and 6.0 needs a few changes and fixes in the coding else it will not complete compiling)

git clone -b aosp-4.8-arm-eabi https://github.com/ArchiDroid/Toolchain toolchain

now that u have both u are ready to compile.

in terminal cd to the downloaded source.

cd lge-kernel-p880

set some things up and start compiling

export ARCH=arm
export CROSS_COMPILE=/home/[B]yourubuntu-username[/B]/toolchain/bin/arm-eabi-
make cyanogenmod_x3_defconfig

start compiling

make -j4

Now sit back, relax, and watch the code! Or you could read a book, watch ****, count your fingers, play with your toes...

If you have an error during the waterfall of code, find the part where it actually says *error* (you'll probably have to scroll upwards) and search it on Google or post it here.

If you manage to get something that says "the kernel zImage is ready" or something like that, that means you've made it!

You have officially compiled your own kernel from source! Now you need to put it in a flashable zip with the .ko files.

As i dont know what .ko files cyanogenmod compiles u should find this out yourself.

it is probably listed in the end of the terminal when the compiling is finished

hope this will bring u further then you are now.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] InterrtuptoR:
Ty for help, i tried it, it worked, i guess it was the toolchain the first time...

After that i compiled euphoria kernel, but with uber 5.2 which didnt work for cm kernel...

I had to change some < > to " ", why are sources set with wrong ones, or am i making some mistake?

I replaced only zImage with euphoria zImage in anykernel .zip, can something go wrong when i do it like that?

Sony are busy congratulating themselves about bringing the new android 6 Marshmallow upgrade to Sony devices.

http://blogs.sonymobile.com/2015/10/06/sony-xperia-and-android-6-0-marshmallow/

Think it's pretty crappy that the Z1 and Z1 compact are not included. Great expected life cycle for their products. Most new handsets in UK are on a 2 year contract. Shame they can't provide updates for at least that long before expecting you to get a shiny new phone (with another 2 year contract).

Seriously thinking that the Z1C will be my last Sony product.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] paulle:
marshmallow z1c

That would be really a shame, the z1c isn't "old" and there are no hardware limitations for getting an update. z1c was released in Europe January/February 2014.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] grisu59964:
I was opitimistic until today that my device would get the Marshmallow update. I'm curious if they will at least deliver security fixes for 5.1.1.

When you say that you will now switch to another brand - well, please tell me, who sells a smartphone < 4,7 " with high end hardware and better support?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] asmad:
Good question grisu59964. Hopefully by the time my contract is up in May 2016 something new and shiny will catch my eye.

I've had Sony phones since they bought into Ericsson and to be honest they're not always great. Loved the 1st Walkman phone. (still have it in a drawer) But the Xperia U stands out as a particularly bad example. It couldn't even run Sonys own update to ICS.

Still, even with its faults like not locking the screen while its against my ear during a call, or the mysterious battery drains, random restarts, music player volume and the previous shoddy updates I do kind of like my Z1C.

I guess it's nearly time to root and add a nice custom 6.0 rom.

Thats sad. I still hope 6.0 will come to z1 even if its not in the list. Like some said, there is no sence on leaving the z1 behind with a Snap 800. I would like very much to see the efficiency of the battery saving that has been developed in 6.0.

This link said Z1/Z1c actually will be in second batch but guess that will be in the middle of 2016.

I've got a S6 and Z1c. In my experiences, Samsung camera focus speed blows Z1c away(picture quality indeed Z1c still doing good though not as nice as S6) but if you need waterproof and microSD then Z1c better and much cheaper. Alpha is a bit expensive, you should compare it with Z3c in this price range.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] WieserZ1C:
Quiet simple : xiaomi is the choice i will change to. It's a software engineer, using the phones as a bridge between user and software. They're producing without win merges, the only contra is the online selling and the shipping duration. Regarding price - hardware related stuff it's the best at the moment.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] grisu59964:
Unfortunately, Xiaomi has only devices starting at 5" display size (size comparison). And who says that Xiaomi will provide software support in two years? Unfortunately, not really an alternative.

For now, I hope that CM 13 will make us forget that we use officially obsolete hardware.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] jtdc:
heck. Z1 Compact is exact same specs of Nexus5 and not getting Android 6.x?

Z1C is more than capable. its just that Sony wants us to upgrade to Z5 Compact, so they won't make official marshmallow rom for it.

its the usual term : planned obsolesence.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] pathaniya:
As the updates are flowing in, i feel we've been followed much closely now, so on second thoughts, I'd go back to symbian and have Linux based laptop, sorted. Why can't we port gingerbread on contemporary handset? An OEM will never be complete and a custom rom would never match OEM's algorithms, catch 22. Look where CM had started and what now it has become same sh*t in different way.

Every company wants control but I have faith in Developers, especially independent. And all this "security" thing is overrated, what are trying to hide anyway? rather from whom? I mean, as a consumer.

I get the original Z that has S4 pro processor ... but Z1 has SD800 and Z2 SD801 witch is same just bumped up frequencies ...

Meh ..

Side question, If I Bootloader unlock my Z1c, i know i lose the DRM keys, but what exactly i lose in functionality ? lower camera performance like on Z3c?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Dancanplay:

[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Fenomenon:
Why u guys bought z1c? Recently I bought z3c. It's almost same price with z1c since its launch. Z1c died after Sony launch z3c. Z3c has slimmer bezel (way better body/screen ratio), way better battery, stereo speakers and much more. I didn't consider z5c simple b/c it has 2gb of ram (same as z1c and z3c) but next sony-compact with s820, 3gb ram and 720p screen will be awesome.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Ænimal:
Funny guy, you got a time machine? (You certainly own a plastic phone with lower resolution ppi-wise);)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Asmod96:
Probably because when I bought Z1C there weren''t Z3C, Z3 nor even Z2, but it's only me :P
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Willber G:
Z3C? One word - plastic.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] idimitro:
The plastic bezel is the thing pushing to look for alternatives.

Otherwise for the upgrade - as it seems all manufacturers have settled on two year support model. Sony is one of the best anyway.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] exaflare:
If Sony will follow the 2-year OS support of its devices then this should be updated to Android M because Xperia Z1 Compact was released January 2014 and marshmallow update was release 3rd quarter of 2015. hhmm....
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Morfarj:
Because its screen cracks all by itself. Just search google for z3 compact screen cracking.

Furthermore, when i bought z1c the z3c was far more expensive. And the hardware is very similar.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Fenomenon:
I'm not allergic to plastic. Yes it has plastic bezel but it isnt like S3 or S4's plastic. Z3C looks very elegant and very comfortable to hold. There is only one bad thing, back cover is too slippy. I dropped it 2 times on the 1st day, but now im more careful.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] krutoistudent:

My Z1C will be my last Sony phone too, It was the best phone I have ever owned I never thought about changing it, I'm really satisfied with it and never once regretted buying it, great phone, but it's time to change.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Leo Kalme:
Z3C is hardly an upgrade from Z1C at that price difference. In my loctaion, Z1C was 280€ this March, Z3C was 400€. It has a plastic middle-frame that does neither protect phone or look good. Glass-back is what I absolutely hate - it is much more scratch-resistant but cracks way too easily and replacement is costly. From hardware, there is minor step-up in CPU frequency, none from display, GPU, RAM, ROM. Even now, considering every Compact phone sony has, inc. Z5C, I think Z1C has best price:performance:quality ratio with strong body, less fragile materials and very good discounts. I do like new USB and idea of being waterproof by its port but it actually adds another risk to ruining it. And Z1C still holds up great in usage speed with newest upgrade. Really, this phone changed the way I look at the smartphones.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] exaflare:
I sold my galaxy Alpha and bought z1c even I have money to buy z3c that is because of much smaller form factor but with good specs well just slightly less powerful than z3c.

I think Z1c is better than Z5 for James bond because its easy to conceal like his walther PPK :D
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Redstarr1:
Hate to burst your bubble, but Z1C is hardly smaller than Z3C, the display might be smaller but the device itself is around the same size. Here are the sizes for all Z Compacts (H x W x D mm):

Z1C: 127 x 64.9 x 9.5 mm

Z3C: 127.3 x 64.9 x 8.6 mm

Z5C: 127 x 65 x 8.9 mm

(http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=5753&idPhone2=6538&idPhone3=7535)

As you can see, the Z3C is actually the smallest so far, even though it has a larger display.

And if you want to refer to James Bond, a Walther PPK is still bigger than a Z5 so that just doesn't make any sense, compared to a gun, every smartphone is easy to conceal, even a 6" device.

For those refering to the Z3C as plastic, Z1C has a plastic rear cover, so what does it matter?

I know I won't be buying another compact, in retrospect, I can live with a device that's larger than 5 inches (also I really don't trust Sony or any Android OEM other than Google anymore to provide some decent support so it'll be a Nexus or a Windows phone after this). Z2 arrived at the same time as Z1C and is still getting the MM update, it just sucks that Z1C is treated the same as the older Z1. At least the Z5C arrived at the same time as the Z5 so it seems more likely that that device will have longer support.
