Hi guys.

Just found sth strange in my XZ2 D6503. When I get into service menu (*#*#7378423#*#*) -> sevice test -> Security to check if all DRM Keys are working after restore found sth strange.

I think this is a counter of how many times I have unlocked my bootloader, because I have unlocked it 4 times (and restored DRM keys of course later) and now I see a key PRODID_AID : 0004 [Key OK][Active]. Before 4th unlock this key was 0003, now it is 0004.

I think this is sth like Samsung Flash Counter which was before KNOX and was available in e.g. Galaxy Tab 2 but it's impossible to reset.

This is my observation.

I think this works like that:

Factory new phone: PRODID_AID : 0000

1st time unlocked: PRODID_AID : 0001

2nd time unlocked: PRODID_AID : 0002

etc.

If somebody wants to check this and you know how many times you unlocked your bootloader, please check this and report which number do you have here.

I want to know if am I right or am I wrong that this is a strange counter.

If I'm right I will start working on resetting this "counter"

I absolutely love these apps. I have a large power bank strapped to my tripod for when I'm shooting video and I use my old Galaxy S5 as a monitor for my camera. Generally I use it for focus peaking as Nikon does not natively support it. I believe it's a Sony trademark.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vampir1c:
Hey guys, I've been looking for something to upgrade to from my old e970, and I've had nothing but great experiences with LG phones. I have a question regarding the different model's of this phone, and potential development limitations. I would be getting the D851 (Tmo variant) and wondering if there are compatibility issues among the roms? For example, in original development, official CM13 is listed for d855, does that mean there's no way I wouldn't be able to use it on a D851? I understand for my e970 if I use an international variant rom I'd lose camera and sd card support.

Thanks!
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tomogitarist:
You can only use D851 roms in that instance. That is the reason why D851, D852, D855 etc. have separate forum categories for rom developments.

Flashing rom that is intended for other model than your phone causes it to brick or boot loop (I'm not sure what of those two since I've never done that)
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vampir1c:
Thanks! I found the seperate forum for the D851 and CM13 does have an official version. This should make building other roms much simpler. Thank you again!

can you please help me and tell me what to do?
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] umudeus:
unikernel, unfortunatelly not compatible with N920C variant. This kernel for N920P... Probably your efs sector is broken.

most in case, stock firmware fixes this issue, but in your situation not!

if you have efs backup, make restore. but if doesn't, only way for special boxes from services. z3x fixes your issue, with repartition efs sector.

Only way is this i thing. Sorry !!!

Hi,

Is it possible to use AT&T LG G Pad F 8 (V495) as phone since it has the capability to connect to mobile network.

I tried to look to for custom ROMs which I can flash which would have the phone (dialer) app.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Use Google Voice and/or Hangouts on any device connected to the internet to make or receive calls. When I have my tablet connected to the internet (with Google Voice configured), my incoming calls to my phone also ring the tablet, and I've used the tablet as a phone before when my phone battery is low. Depending on the internet bandwidth, it might not sound great...
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ScoobyDoo83:
Thanks roirraW for your reply. But I'm specifically looking to make calls using my service provider, say AT&T / t-mobile. So for that I guess I would need a phone app similar to what my phone has. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
You're welcome!

Yes if you don't want to use internet, that's correct although not sure if that's all it would take. I'm sure your carrier recognizes what kind of device your SIM is in and doesn't allow phone calls that way. My VK810 even has a phone number, but I couldn't even get (non-internet) text messaging working.

Good luck though and hope I'm wrong and you can find a way.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bib_x:
Hi,

i want to buy a new note 4 - the version 910f.

If i update the new phone with stock 4.4.4 rom to the latest 5.1.1 - will there be any problem if i want to install root or anything like this later on? Can i still install custom roms?

I want to now this, becqause if i update my new amazon fire 7 (2015) to latest stock 5.1.1 rom - there is no chance to start recovery anymore for installing custom rom. With only 5.0.1 all is good and i can install custom rom with recovery.

Is there a similar problem with note 4 or can i install latest stock rom and won´t get any problems later?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bib_x:
Only thing i found is that i can´t go back to 4.4.4 when installing 5.1.1? And i can´t go back to 5 when i´m installaing marshmallow because of changing partitions size?

So if i go to stock 5.1.1 it doesn´t matter, because i don´t want to use 4.4.4 and i can still use all stock roms and change to marshmallow later?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dork997:
No problem if you don't plan to use 4.4.4. Note that if you update to latest 5.1.1

>your bootloader will be locked you can't go back to previous roms or use custom roms which are based on earlier versions such as 4.4.4 custom roms or 5.0.1 custom roms.

>you can still root your phone install custom recovery and install custom roms which have newer bootloaders. However rooting 5.1.1 is bit different because with android 5.1.1 there is an extra security layer in the kernel which detects and stops device from being rooted you need a "permissive kernel" to root 5.1.1. And then you can do whatever you like.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bib_x:
Would it be a better decision to stay on 5.0.1 for the moment and later install 5.1.1 custom rom? To not loose unlocked bootloader?

And one more question: if I deactivate bloatware in application setting off stock rom, is bloatware complete deactivated or is it still running in the background somehow?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dork997:
You can install 5.1.1 with these bootloaders coj3, coi3, pok1 , coh4 these are safe and won't lock your bootloader. i'd recommend 5.1.1 over 5.0.1 because the difference is day and night in long term use (when u have many apps) 5.1.1 is much smoother and better battery life just don't install coj5 or newer bootloaders. I don't use custom roms because in my experience stock rom is the best custom roms have some bugs etc. If you deactivate bloatware in application settings then its no more running in background.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bib_x:
OK, thank you. But so I should deactivate ota updates and flash latest stock update with Odin, so that I don't get latest locked bootloader?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bib_x:
How can i update to latest 5.1.1 update and keeping the (old) unlocked bootloader?

Do i have to donwload version from smamobile and flash with odin? How can i disallow to update bootloader too?

And if i update with ota - i will get latest (locked) bootlader automatically - no chance anymore to remove it?

-----------------------------

I don´t want to root my phone the first time (because of knox) but later on i maybe want to root too.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dork997:
There is no way to be sure if the older bootloader will work with latest 5.1.1 rom. So its better to stick with the bootloader which comes with the rom and yes if you update with OTA you will get latest 5.1.1 and bootloader automatically. Just go to sammobile and download 5.1.1 with COJ3, COi3, or POK1 (nordic countries). and Flash with odin.

[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ursidae1:
Dear XDA Members,

I currently run stock 5.1.1 (14.6.A.1.236) with no modifications whatsoever and a locked bootloader.

I would like to install a custom rom (PAC-ROM LP-MR1 5.1.1) on my Z1C.

I did some research and these are the steps i came up with:

1. install sdk and drivers

2. unlock bootloader

3. fastboot flash recovery "fota.img" (shouldn't it specify somehow that i need it to be flashed on the fota partition?)

4. factory reset/wipe

5. install custom rom + gapps

Coming from a locked bootloader a fully stock phone is there anything else i need to do like a new bootloader or something?

Also I'll be doing it through Win 10 64bit, I hope that isn't a problem.

Any advice will be highly appreciated.

Thank you very much
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] levone1:
First things first... Root. If you already did that then you're on the right track.

1. If you're not doing major development stuff, don't install the whole sdk. See here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=48915118 There may be issues you'll have to work with on newer versions of Windows. I haven't done it on anything later than 7. Keep in mind, though, that you won't need the computer to flash your boot img or rom, but you will need it to unlock the bootloader.

2. -

3. You can do this with an app called Rashr on your phone with root. Just download a recovery img, then open Rashr and follow the instructions.

4-5. Boot into recovery, full wipe, (system data and caches), flash rom zip and gapps zip. Maybe best to not flash more than that at once to start, in case there's a problem and you have no way to figure out what it is.

BTW, PacMan is a great choice. I've been using it for months.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ursidae1:
Thanks a lot for your reply.

I was reading on the cyanogen mod wiki how-to for our phone and it doesn't require a prior root.

I did those steps on my xperia m and it worked and i had never rooted it, the only difference is that i flashed cyanogen recovery and install cm12 which basically roots the phone and then flashed fota recovery.

Should i go this way again to gain root or would you recommend an easier root method for my stock build which is the newest.

If you recommend another root method when should it occur? prior unlocking the bootloader or afterwards?

Thanks
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] einfachgaer:
If this is your first time unlocking your bootloader, make sure you backup your DRM-Keys! You need to be rooted for that.

They are lost when bootloader gets unlocked. Some features in regards of camera performance are lost for example.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] levone1:
True, if bl is unlocked, then you can flash the kernel and recovery via fastboot, then flash your rom. You may need the boot.img from your rom zip file. Then use commands 'fastboot flash boot' for the boot img, and 'fastboot flash recovery' for recovery. If you're rooted already, you can just do it on the phone.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ursidae1:
This is fantastic.

Do you think itll be ok to fastboot flash boot boot.img from cm12.1 rom zip then fastboot flash recovery fota.img instead of the cyanogen recovery that comes with cm12.1?

Do you think that might cause an issue?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] levone1:
Should be fine. It's also a 1 second operation to extract boot.img from your rom zip, which you need already downloaded and on your SD card before you flash imgs. You might even be fine without flashing the boot img - can't hurt to try. Just flash the recovery and reboot and see if you get a purple light. Then, volume button changes purple to orange, and you're in recovery. Some recoveries don't work with some kernels, (been my experience).
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ursidae1:
I now have cm12.1 with cyanogen recovery.

Which recovery is best for our phone, which one do you use?

I can find 2 options:

FOTA TWRP 2.8.6.0 (http://xdaforums.com/sony-xperia-z1-compact/general/fota-twrp-recovery-amami-t2909719)

[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] levone1:
I have only used xzdr with stock rom. I think in the past I've had it not work for me on CM, so I just stick to straight twrp by default. I know NUT has always been hard at work and has made steady improvements, so maybe not an issue now. Personally I realized that I only need 1 recovery anyway. There's a newer Twrp here - http://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/twrp-v2-8-6-0-f2fs-z1-z1c-z2-z3-z3c-t3098573

One important fact that has already been probably mentioned is that installing custom roms on your XPERIA will worsen your camera, esp the front one. Keep this in mind.

Yes I got one this afternoon, left a review and checked the box to be entered to win the $500 gift card. The rest was somewhat ambiguous and never did mention the tripod nor that I was going to receive one for fitting the criteria. Said being simple, first 500 reviews on the LG site qualify. Hoping that the link from my email which splintered off quickly into a less specific or indirect route to leaving the review doesn't mean I'm dense and missed a little something along the way. The tripod would be killer. I will not complain though as LG has done awesome by me so far with the battery/sdcard promo. Sure beats Samsung's offers to give me 30% off of accessories if I purchased through their site.

Great media-centered smart phone

Bought the phone as soon as it came out in the US. A definite upgrade on my previous Samsung Galaxy Note 3. Things I like: -Dedicated DAC and amp to drive high-end headphones -Expandable memory, which is becoming a rarer option these days -Replaceable battery, also becoming harder to find -Second screen. It's much more useful than I thought it would be: e.g. being able to turn on the flashlight without having to go through a bunch of menus -Capable processor: there are faster ones. But I've not had any issues with stuttering

Sweepstakes entry received for review

Yes

✔ Yes,

I recommend this product.
