[Xperia Z3 General] Akiainavas:
I'll share my story as well - I was a long-term iPhone and Windows Phone user - since the first iPhone I switched to Windows Phone when it launched, and then to Android because I fell in love with Xperia Z. My experienced, however, quickly began to deteriorate.

First, I experienced problems with the screen on my Z - which somehow disappeared later. But after a few months, the phone developed a really big issue with the battery which couldn't hold half a day of being locked and in my pocket. Foolishly, I went to Sony Centre hoping they would help me - there I was told that Sony Centre has nothing to do with Sony Mobile - even though they do see Xperia phones there...go figure... and was told to contact Sony Mobile directly. So I did - the less then polite customer service representative told me I have to ship the phone to their warehouse/repair centre in London - and pay for it. Since the phone was still under warranty, I did - and after 23 days I got it back with a note "no fault detected". Needless to say, the battery was not replaced and ironically completely discharged when it arrived back. Charged it, turned the phone on, went to work... at 12am, 18% left. At this point I should mention I tried many things to fix it - software, roms, reboots etc. nothing helped. I contacted them and sent it back again - this time, I got the battery replaced, but the phone arrived completely destroyed... you remember those anti-shatterproof films Sony used to apply on their phones ? It was scratched all over, front and back.

Well, that's life - but after a while I got Xperia Z3. Man, what a beauty - I was in love with Sony again. BUT! A little over 12 months after I got the phone - the microphone started to misbehave. Whenever you plugged in a headset, microphone would not work. Then, it stopped working when using loudspeaker. Then the camera stopped working, displaying errors all the time. In the meantime it broke 3 microSD cards ( sandisk ). So I contacted Sony again... this time it went even worse. Got told that phone is no longer under warranty and If I want - I can send it to the same, dreadful location in London, at my own cost - and pay 75 quid for "diagnosis" after which, if there are any faults, I can decide to have it fixed and pay for the repairs. After explaining what's wrong, the technician said they would probably have to replace the microphone, wiring and the camera for an approximate price of 250 quid... plus diagnosis and shipping - both ways. I was speechless... told him it would be cheaper to get a new Z3 off Amazon to which he basically laughed at me...

The moral, or conclusion of this story is - ladies and gentleman, however we might love Sony or Sony devices - they do not give a flying fk about their customer.
[Xperia Z3 General] nagug:
Sorry to hear your experience.

My experience has been very good with sony. After a year of Z3 (under contract with EE) had a crack in the corner front screen, i had switched to Moto X. Thought let me give a try by sending it to the repair centre and get a quote. I sent on a thursday. And next tuesday, I get a mail saying, My phone is on the way back. But did not give any indication on the repair status. Two days later, i received the phone and to my surprise screen was fixed. No charge..everything under warranty!!! High Street repair guys asked for 110GBP!

Next I sent my wife Z3 compact (again contract but with Vodafone), which has the front screen glue coming off and proximity sensor not working. This time go the phone back in two days.. but old phone exchanged with new phone. (But unfortunate that it is still locked to vodafone)

But atleast the both phones fixed free of cost. Was really impressed. When compared to other manufacturers, Sony is still much better. My Samsung tab S screen cracked and cost of fix is 140GBP and samsung centre quoting 220 GBP (Cost of a New tablet!!!)

Looks like sony repairs are hit or miss.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] der Blonde:
Hello everyone,

yes i tried the search, but i really could not find anything matching my problem :(

I want so gift my S4 to a friend for christmas and wanna do a full wipe + new custom rom (currently sitting on Ressurection Remix Remix 5.5.5)

When i try to enter TWRP i get stuck at the teamwin screen :(

I've tried the following:

- flash older TWRP again via Odin

- install newest TWRP again via TWRP Manager App

- flashing Stock Recovery (could not even get into anything, bootloop)

Any suggetions how to solve this problem?

Sorry for any grammar/vocabulary mistakes. English is not my first language
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
Try flashing stock rom. That also includes the stock recovery. Then reflash twrp.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] der Blonde:
Thanks :3

do i need to root again now?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
Unless you want to stay on the stock rom, or want to backup some apps, then no. Rooting will not be necessary if you plan on changing to a custom rom again.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] der Blonde:
rooted my s4 again,

twrp is finally working :)

but i cant flash the rom :(

Error executing updater binary in zip

anyone has an idea?

i allready downloaded the rom again but the zip is not broken
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
Are you using the latest version of twrp?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] der Blonde:
Yes 2.8.7.0
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
That error is caused because the recovery thinks the rom is not compatible with your phone.

Make sure your phone is compatible with the rom.

Or try these steps I found online:

1. Advance Wipe > Wipe cache, data, system, dalvik partitions.

2. Select ZIP file of your ROM and flash it.

3. You will get E:Error executing updater binary in zip (Don’t panic!)

4. Go to Reboot menu > Select Reboot to recovery.

5. After rebooting in recovery, flash the ZIP file of the ROM again WITHOUT WIPING.

Then it should work, according to the site I found it on.

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickatnite905:
Hello XDA,

I am looking to update my Tab S to Lollipop. Problem is, I rooted it almost a year ago and do not know the method in which I did it. I'm guessing without knowing any other information, my best best bet would be downloading 5.0.2 from Sammobile (currently doing so) and using Odin 3.09? Is this the easiest way?

Also, if I'm located in the USA, what region do I want to use for the download? I didn't see anything that applied to me, so I picked an unknown region. Is there something else I should be looking for?

Android Version

4.4.2

Kernel Version

3.4.39-2947015

dpi@SWDD3008 #1

Build Number

KOT49H. T800XXU1ANK1

SE for Android Status

Enforcing

SEPF_SM-T800_4.4.2_0040
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noxarcana:
The quickest way would be to use Samsung Kies. The download is quicker but it installs immediately so you don't get to keep the download.

EDIT: Also the US region is called Cellular South.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickatnite905:
Is that what Smart Switch Mobile is? Do you happen to have a link for a short guide? And will I still need to download the stock firmware when using Kies?

And thanks for clearing up the region question.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noxarcana:
http://www.samsung.com/in/support/usefulsoftware/KIES/#none

Use the link to download Kies, install, connect tablet to pc and open Kies. From there you'll know what to do. No guide necessary. No need to download the firmware either. Kies is automated once you select upgrade.

EDIT: There are two versions of Kies. Grab Kies3.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickatnite905:
Thank you! You were right, Kies3 immediately recognized that I did not have the latest firmware. So now I'm waiting for the update to download and implement itself.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mic141414:
I am in the exact same situation as you.

Not able to take the OTA even if i undo root via supersu

Kies detected that there was an update. But BEEN HOURS with "Preparing software update components for Galaxy Tab S"

I closed it and I am trying with Smart Switch .. same .. been 1 hour now and nothing happens.

How could I flash the latest firmware? Thanks
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickatnite905:
You may want to check with other sources, but my initial thought before getting a response here was to download the current firmware build and use the Odin tool. I'm assuming it would work for you.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zilliman:
I have downloaded the stock ROM from some Russian web site which then directed me to some Google drive, a 1.6GB download, in my case SEE-T805XXU1BOD1-20150511102748.zip

I then used Odin to flash it - Select BL for "T805XXU1BOG2_bootloader.tar.md5" (stock bootloader) and AP for "T805XXU1BOD1_T805OXX1BOD1_T805XXU1BOD3_HOME.tar.md5" (stock ROM)

I believe that the above procedure works under almost all circumstances, root or no.

I then made plenty of backups with TWRP so that I do not have to use Odin anymore, I simply restore the stock ROM from backup (plus I get all my applications and system as I want it rather than having to re-do everything from scratch each time).

And just to say that all the OSes I have downloaded so far, they all had problems, so I end up restoring the stock ROM within hours of installing a new OS.

Hi,

I´m getting software install failed! on my Huawei wile doing an OTA ROM update.

It is an intermediate update so update.app does not have system.img, but rather the update.zip has folders with a patch for the /System.

As of that, I wanted to know what's wrong, so, is there any log file created from the update procedure?

Inside update.zip is update.app (and the folders to patch the /system) which in turn compacts another update.app inside.

So, either "open inside" update.app or extract update.app from update.zip, rename that update.app to update.zip and open the last update.zip to get the update.app that can be opened with HuaweiUpdateExtractor to get the *.img files (exept system.img).
