[Elephone P8000] spottedhaggis:
I have to say, I am a very technical person but this is a baffling process.

I am well versed in rom updates on MB, Tablets etc, all of which should be similar.

after trying both the Eragon and Phillz instructions, nether worked for me

Then I found the phone sat at the logo and I was unable to do anything

Now, for unknown reasons it let me into the bootloader again

I am now able to factory reset

I am not going to try Eragon because it simply will not let me do it

Are you all sure you have the same phone, or that there are not perhaps some versions of the same phone where these instructions are not right?

What seems simple to do is proving impossible to do
[Elephone P8000] decompiler:
Why else able to enter the recovery

[Elephone P8000] bluiis48:
I had trouble getting Philz recovery to load to phone but finally got it to work using the latest version of SP flash tool from Android MTK. Google to find it. Load the scatter.txt from unzipped Philz recovery, click download, attach powered off phone to PC. Only took a few minutes to load for me.

hi, guys,

Finally, found this place. More than two years ago, when we start android head unit campaign, there is even no this sub-forum. :laugh: Android head unit is a kind of product full of fun and challenge. We can see there are many discussions here about issues and features.

After several years development and tried lots of new things we know there are still many areas we cannot cover in terms of localization, habit and regulation etc . But android provided the power. So, here comes open source to all people for more possibilities. Have fun, hope you guys could love it.

Dear all,

Just to open a positive thread on XZ5 experience and stopping its baching !

First feedback after 1 day usage (only yeah but still)

- Everything runs smoothly

- Network Reception is far better than my previous phone (XZ original one)

- Quality of photos are really dependant on the guy holding the phome and knowing how to use the capacity --> Perfect for my usage

- Battery is fantastic

- Charging time is really quick with the provided wall charger

My summary : I am very satisfied with my choice
[Xperia Z5 General] SDR-1970:
That's good to hear.
[Xperia Z5 General] chrisftlse:
That said, I will add that I do not regret at all my choice.

Screen is really good and bright

Responsiveness is very good

Material used make it top and feels strong

If you doubt to buy it while reviewing all negative post...

Then go to a phone shop and take one in your hand then you can make your own opinion :D

Do not hesitate to ask me impression or details
[Xperia Z5 General] augie7107:
Happy you are satisfied, I am as well. How did you obtain the James Bond theme and videos? Did you enter a code into Xperia Lounge, What's New or were they simply listed there when you first powered on the phone?
[Xperia Z5 General] bloodfire1004:
Good to hear your experience! I'm starting to feel that those people complaining are either 1) very unlucky and had a faulty unit, 2) fan boys coming from another manufacturer or 3) nitpickers who want to see the fault in every device.
[Xperia Z5 General] wakers:
It's my first Sony smartphone and i'm really happy with mine, it's true that whatever you buy there are people unhappy, some people just like to moan some are genuinely unlucky with dodgy units, mine is good really good, only grumble is the 2 day battery life thing that's a bit optimistic imo

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr hOaX:
Check out Original Android Development and Android Development sections and look for [5.1.1] tag in the thread(topic) title.

You can install any of them who has this title provided you first look at their flashing procedure mentioned in those threads.

Try ressurection remix its one of the most stable custom rom and its updated regularly,look for it in android development.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akj201:
Blisspop and resurrection remix are my all time favourite. Currently in love with smartisan os. (not cyanogen based)
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhibnl:
I would suggest using Slimsaber CAF as i'm using it as a daily driver and it's stable. But there are plethora of roms on xda and you can try all of them to find which one suits you the best. Hoenstly, it's all a matter of personal preference and choice. Slimsaber apparently is a stable and "necessary-feature" proof rom. I'm sure you'll like it.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doru15:
You should try also Sultan's Rom. It's maybe the best Rom for OPO (the 5.1.1 / cm12.1).
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] conq2230:
If your really adventurous, you could try Sultan's unofficial cm13.0. I'm using it for a daily driver. But, now you can try anything out there since your rooted.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] creative_arc:
For smooth stable experience go cm 12.1/5.1.1, if u want latest mm then there are some 6.0/cm 13 ROM out also.

and +1 for sultan's ROM. exodus is also good.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2pist:
Sultans cm13

I second sultans version of CM 13. Its working flawlessly. The snapdragon camera is amazing.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] conq2230:
You'll definitely learn a lot about your phone when you start flashing ROMs. Backup often.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashuthosh.heda:
Hey there

Mine was also a newly rooted opo just 10days back. The roms I tried in this days where 4. According to my ranking

1.Blisspop

2.Carbon Rom

3.Resurrection remix

4.CM 13.0 (if you want to get a new experience of MM.)

Never tried cm12.1 though. I love customizations and stock cm12.1 doesn't have much.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaynpayn:
Depends. If you want the regular cm feel go for sultans rom. I really liked it, but it has just about the same looks as mostly every other. It does have some solid cherry picks that set it ahead of the competition.

However, if you want to try something a bit different but also really well made, try miui 7. This is by far my favourite at the moment. Has official oneplus one support. It's a 4.4.4 rom though but I don't care about that. I actually have way better battery life on 4.4.4 and the miui7 feels like a complete product while being beautiful.

If you do, be sure to follow instructions not to have odd problems due to missed steps during install.

I think right now, its SultanXDA, MM.

The battery life in L, was a nightmare, solved on MM. Of course, MM need some time, but the best way to have it perfect earlier possible its helping to the developers finding the bugs.

If you don't want a alpha the Sultan's 5.11 its really nice too.

Hi everybody,

I need a multi USB port charger which also supports my TF201.

Finding ones is not that hard, but non of the 4 to 6 port chargers support the TF201 for any reason. Tested two of them now, every other device just works fine, but not my TF201.

Any product ideas which could work?

Thanks
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] zoesdad70:
The TF201 needs 15v to charge and you won't find a multi port charger that can supply this.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] krmarion:
I know it's an older post, but I found that the Tronsmart charger model: TS-WC3PCB was able to charge my TF201, and 2 other devices. It also has Quickcharge 2.0 (if you have a newer Samsung device).

I used it with a USB 3.0 cord that I also purchased third party. PWR+ I believe was the maker of the USB cord I used.

I also had problems finding a power source that could feed it, but I found that the combination of these 2 worked well.

Hope this helps! (Also this is my first post or reply, I am normally just a reader).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] savvy007:
Hi krmarion,

what did you do, to make the Prime charge? :confused:

I own the exact same charger, Tronsmart TS-WC3PC having the "Quick-Charge" port supplying 5V/2A, 9V/2A or 12V/1,5A, but none of my devices TF-201, TF-101, TF-701 will charge using their original cables. All of them charge fine with the ASUS chargers, as well a DIY 12V using the same cables.

You mentioned an additional USB 3.0 cord you are using - is that somehow modified? Does your Prime charge, if you plug its cable directly into the charger?

tnx for your help!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] neveruse:
My thought is

You should not to use other charger for safety. It will damage the battery of device and your safe.

May I ask why does it has to be the latest software release? I believe Xperia phones are downgradable, correct me if I'm wrong.

The Z3 root bounty was successful and achieved by downgrading to the earliest version which had an exploit. It's likely that stagefreight 2.0 will be needed in conjunction with a future exploit.

Pal, Moreover, nobody even work on a cyanogenmod or aosp stable rom.

I think we should think more about good customs roms rather than saving "magic" drm keys.

[Xperia Z5 Compact General] TheEndHK:
Marshmallow concept is only for Z3/Z3c(tobias.waldvogel only got Z5 dual) and the camera even not work if my memory no wrong. It's not a fully function working MM beta like Samsung S6.

[Xperia Z5 Compact General] 123Yamaha123:

[Xperia Z5 Compact General] ierwinplus:
I don't think there's someone waiting for 6.0.1. We can always use prfcreator to create pre-root firmware and flash it via recovery.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] zippy01:
And how would you get recovery in the first place?
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] the_brad:
Simply by keeping your recovery on 5.1.1 and flashing the pre-rooted 6.x zipfile via your recovery. No need to do the official update via OTA or PCC ;)
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] zippy01:
But this thread is for locked bootloader root unlocked bootloader already has root
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] ierwinplus:
I mean, if someone find a way to root Z5, he can flash custom recovery.

So this someone doesn't need to wait for 6.0.1
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] zippy01:
Chances are there isn't any point searching for 5.1.1 root now
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] bruno$0:
Isn't more easy find a way to root on lower firmware? And the update to Last one? Why wait for 6.0.1? Stagefright change Android but nobody seems interesting In use it...
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] zippy01:
Depends because there maybe a bug in 6 maybe not so it might just be as difficult it's all ifs buts and maybes no one knows until someone finds something look at previous phones firmwares some firmware hasn't been rooted at all if we had 1 rootable firmware as you say it wouldn't matter as we could build a rooted firmware but new phone on an unrootable rom there is always a longer wait

It's a good phone with decent specs but the fact that DRM keys are lost once unlocked is a big turn off.
