[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] downwiththebanksters:
Yes kos it is beautiful, screen is realy great, speakers...better than most but nasty at full throttle. As for cases, Ebay yourself one of the Sony flip cases for it. While maybe a bit pricey, I really like mine. It's great for media consumption allowing a wide range of screeen angles, quite slim and very elegant. At home I use no case, but when it goes out I pop it on.

I've owned my SGP612 for about 6mos now, and use it mostly to play RR3, so I've left it bone stock at 4.4.4 V23..0.1.A.0.167. I'm thinking I'd like to root it, but the one thing I haven't seen mentioned is how to make a backup of this pure stock device, and will this backup allow me to restore it, including the DRM crap (if I ever need it) to a virginal state? I.e. one complete backup of all the parts in one place, or do I have to back up various bits and then reassemble it to restore it? How does one restore it? Sony has a software suite, will this allow you to restore a semi bricked unit, or just one with a ROM (custom/rooted etc.) that you want to restore to factory fresh? Can I always get back to 4.4.4? The comments here lead me to believe 4.4.4 is overall best for battery (it's a champ but it's a young device!) I want to say flashing the Google Play Edition Marshmallow RUU onto my M8 has been quite good overall, so I hope it can do the same for this device when it eventually drops.

Minor question: I want to be able to cast to chromecast to show my RR3 on my tv etc. Do the lollipop versions add cast your screen support in the pulldown menu like in my pure google devices? The Sony "throw" option doesn't work with anything I have now.

So...big problem first...

Backups/restoration options?

dude you can root it without unlock the bootloader!drm keys are lost only if you unlock bootloader.but even you unlock bootloader,you can back them up before!Also if you flash a custom recovery,you can flash prerooted roms.also with flashtool you can go either to KK,LP or MM rom from your PC at any time!so you dont have to worry!I am from the begining on stock KK heavily debloated from sony craps with a dedicated flashable zip..and my tablet is super fast and I have 10-11 screen on time with browsing the web!

[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] downwiththebanksters:
So I only need to back up the keys? Can I reinstall any stock ROM and then plop the keys back in the right place and it will for all intents and purposes "stock". In other words I don't need to make a Nandroid backup and separately back up the DRM keys as I can always find a stock ROM and flash it with flashtool, then pop the keys in?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] kos25k:
dude if you dont unlock the bootloader dont worry about drm keys as they are implemented inside bootloader!I suggest you root flash a custom recovery and then you can flash stock KK,LP or MM rom without drm keys to be effected!root and custom recovery hasn't to do eith bootloader...At least in oir case now...

dude flashtoll is only for flashing stock firmwares.eithout unlocking bootloader you can only flash stock or stock based roms.cyanogenmod rom demands to unlock your bootloader!

Marshmallow on Z3TC, should I update?

I have a wifi Z3TC on Lollipop (SGP611 on 5.1.1) which I'm happy with. Except that it keeps nagging me to update to Mashmallow.

Should I update? Are there any horror stories about battery life, slowing down or anything?

If not, is there any way I can turn off that irritating update nag?

many thanks

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crowsnestitsupport:
Has anyone noticed their FI SIM roam when off of sprint and t-mobile coverage?

I have a Nexus 6, 6p and 5x. When my FI SIM is in the 6P and N6 and I'm in sprint mode/CDMA mode and there is no sprint coverage I have noticed that talk/text and 3g data work just fine on both the VZW and the US Cellular networks.

Also when in T-Mobile mode/ GSM mode and there is no T-Mobile coverage, both talk/text and LTE/HSPA/Edge data work just fine on AT&T. Also if on AT&T I actually have mobile data while on a phone call!!!??

But on my 5x I have no roaming at all doesn't matter what I do. It will not work at all on any network except Sprint and T-mobile.

All 3 of the phones have been tried on various ROMS and kernels and that don't seem to make a difference. Currently on Chroma/Franco on all 3.

I use FI Switch by [MENTION=6689518]dwithereIl[/MENTION] and Signal Check PRO to switch between CDMA and GSM mode and to know what provider I am currently on.

What has been you experience?

I agree that this is pretty annoying... bc of lag in the software or whatever, every time you hit the left soft key, you get a "are you sure you want to delete" dialog... but then again, on previous versions the left softkey was "reply" ... so it would always take me into a new text message... so I don't know what's better! haha
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] max120:
So I just got my new cell phone, my first time with Android, and a few days ago I messed up. I followed this video to try and root my device : Sakitech's video on 'How to Root your HTC One M9 (Full Guide) - sorry can't post links

It ended up in a bootloop, I tried a few things and ended up installing Android HD Revolution 20.0 as my OS. I did it, but I had one problem : I didn't have any service with my provider anymore

So I panicked, tried a few things and ended up relocking my phone, while still being S-ON. I tried more stuff, without really knowing exactly what I was doing, and now my ADB cannot recognize my phone anymore. (when I do cmd adb devices it doesn't show up) I tried everything : re-installing all the drivers I could, pdaNet, changing environment variables, nothing works. It also cannot go in recovery mode anymore, so it is impossible for me to install the TWRP backup I found which is an exact match to my phone and provider (videotron) :

kernel: lk

product: htc_himaulatt

version: 1.0

version-main: 3.38.1530.2

version-baseband: 01.01_U11440801_96.01.51207G_F

version-bootloader: 1.0.0.0000

mid: 0PJA11000

cid: VIDEO001

Went ahead and bought a micro sd card to try and install a stock rom. The microSD card works because I tried to flash a rom and it gave me the error that I didn't have the right version. I have no stock rom to work with, unless there is a way I can flash the TWRP backup with an sd card.

Again, I cannot

-turn my phone on (softbrick)

-enter recovery mode

-adb devices : list of devices attached empty

-put my phone s-off

-the device also is NOT rooted

I can

-enter download mode

-enter fastboot commands

-enter bootloader mode

-i have a working microsd card

When I go into download mode it's showing :

*** RELOCKED ***

htc_himaulatt PVT S-ON

LK-1.0.0.0000

RADIO-01.01_U11440801_96.01.51207G_F

OpenDSP-15.6.1.00522.8994_1026

OS-3.38.1530.2

I already tried this ROM

- The 1.32.1530.7 video001 ( gave me following error code after trying to flash with my microsd card :

19 RU_MAIN_VER_FAIL os-version in android-info missing or i

19 RU_MAIN_VER_FAIL os-version in android-info missing or i

FAIL19 RU_MAIN_VER_FAIL os-version in android-info missing or i

Keep in mind I messed up my device after installing Android Revolution HD 20.0 Custom Rom (don't know if this matters)

Flashing a stock rom seems to be my only option left. Or is it? Please help me, guide me ! I have been working 20+ hours on this thing and it is driving me crazy!
