[Xperia Z3v General] :
Yes,, reinstall them preferably from outside your computer. You are wanting the drivers on your computer to be overwritten by fresh drivers, even if they have the same version numbers. You want the computer to "think" this is the first time the phone has ever been connected to it.
[Xperia Z3v General] AddictedToGlass:
Where do I get th drivers for re-installation?
[Xperia Z3v General] :
Try this. If you do take this route don't be discouraged if it doesn't work the first time. I have had something similar happen and on occasion it has taken a few tries. Windows doesn't like to let go of drivers that are already installed.

Xperia Z3 drivers

"Phone driver for Xperia Z3 (D6603, D6616, D6653, D6643, SOL26, D6708, SO-01G, and 401SO) (Microsoft Windows™ XP 32bit/64bit and later). Use drivers for debugging, or when erased from phone."
[Xperia Z3v General] AddictedToGlass:
DLed the replacement drivers, but Flashtool isn't recognizing the z3v. I know I'm doing something wrong because it isn't recognizing my other (functioning) z3v, either.

So I Googled driver installation on Windows 8.1 because I remembered that it won't allow unsigned drivers without manual installation, and I needed a refresher course for all the steps. I am uncertain I successfully removed all of the previous ones, though. What I did find out, but did not know, was that putting 8.1 into that mode (where it'll install unsigned drivers) is a temporary situation. According to a poster on a blog (for whatever that's worth...), once the PC is restarted, it comes out of that "test mode", and unsigned drivers no longer work again. I usually keep the PC on, but it has restarted since I last messed with Flashtool.

Obviously I need to figure out where I'm going wrong on this to even begin work on the phone. (I miss XP.)

Details about the z3v behavior:

The screen is stuck on the SONY XPERIA logo.

Pressing the power button by itself has no effect, no matter how long I hold it.

Pressing the power button with the volume down will power it off, but it just powers back on by itself.

Pressing the power button and holding both the power button and the volume down while it cycles back on gets me into the Android Recovery menu.

From Recovery;

Selecting "Power Down" USUALLY powers it down, but sometimes it immediately restarts.

Selecting "Factory Reset" cycles it through the logo and into an attempt (Droid animation with blue bar rolling) for about 5-6 seconds, and then it restarts into the SONY XPERIA logo again.

Selecting "Safe Mode" simply restarts it the same way.

Selecting "Continue Power Up" obviously does the same.

All that is while not tethered to the PC. NO color LED comes on, except for an occasional orange while it's hooked to the PC.
[Xperia Z3v General] :
Got a couple of suggestions about the PC connection:

Try a different USB cable.

Have you looked in Device Manager and removed any reference to the Sony there as well?

Here is a blog post about an Xperia S that wouldn't connect, the steps should be the same:

Connect the phone via USB and go to the Device manager on the computer. Check if you can locate the phone or any Unknown/New device that could be the phone or if you perhaps see the phone as a device. Right click it and select to uninstall.

Still in Device manager open the list for USB controllers (Universal Serial Bus Controllers) and right click each one of these controllers and select to uninstall.

When all of this is done reboot your computer and before connecting your phone again repeat step 2.

You should of course not have to do this every time you connect your phone to your computer but hopefully this could remove any error causing your phone not to connect properly.
[Xperia Z3v General] AddictedToGlass:
I'M BACK!!!

And here's a lesson from one noob to all others; Never overlook the simplest things.

Komet1, your suggestion of trying a different cable struck me as desperate, but when I looked at what I had been using, I realized it was the cheap cable Amazon sent with the phone (It didn't come with a Sony charger and cable, just a crappy generic set).

I swapped cables and viola!, I now have 4.4.4 back.

I'll not be making the stupid mistake of swapping restores from one phone to another again.

Thanks all!

Important lessons for beginners...

Take notes. I'm glad I did this time because last time I bricked I couldn't remember what I had done to brick it, or what I had tried to unbrick it. It helps when you can provide detailed info, otherwise it becomes too frustrating for those who can help. It can also help keep you from panicking and going in circles.
[Xperia Z3v General] :
Awesome! Been there, done that with the bricking. It's a wonderful feeling when you watch the phone respond and realize you just solved the problem.

I went to sleep while downloading Implosion (a game) while it was charging. When I woke up the audio would sound like it was in slow motion and sometimes a bit delayed. Plugged in a headset and everything sounds normal there. Diagnostics speakers played normally, but once I exit diagnostic mode, it goes back to being in "slowmo". Recently got this phone brand new a few days ago. Haven't been dropped or gotten wet yet (new phone = maximum care). I tried wiping the cache and did a factory reset but nothing worked. Need help please. Thanks! BTW i immediately uninstalled the game and since I did a factory reset I would assume that all the files associated with that would be gone.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
No, you will brick your device. International and Verizon M7s are very different. They have a different partition layout. Flashing International Rom will mix up your partitions and cause a soft brick.

Flashing the firmware could cause a serious hard brick. I don't recommend you try it :good:

Will i lose S-off / bootloader unlocked if I run a RUU.exe? I'm willing to try to convert, but i dont want to pay some more money to get S-off and bootloader unlock

Also can you provide me a link to the latest RUU of m7ul? i'm confused which one is the latest
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
Sounds about right. CDMA phone with GSM firmware. I did notice there was nothing confirming the conversion was successful.

But would it be possible to keep Verizon firmware but use an international rom? Not sure what the benefits of it would be but don't see why it wouldn't work.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
The only way you can "loose" s-off is by manually typing the appropriate command, nothing else will make your phone S-ON again, same for bootloader unlock. And you'll be using a RUU.zip not .exe. The latest international version is 7.19.401.51, you can find it in the RUU collection thread at post #2 (see the sticky threads in the general section, most likely the first one in the queue. Make sure you also have a verzion RUU on your ocmputer if you need to flash back to verizon. I wouldn't expect anything good flashing a M7_UL ruu on a M7VZW but trying it

shouldn't

harm your phone.

m7 gsm having a lot of roms to choice comparing with cmda (vzw now only have GPE+ version is being developed and maintained) also android M beta only released for gsm. As a flash-lover is annoy me though. My country dont even have LTE (yea i bought my m7vzw refurbished from China), and ALL Cm-based rom i tried always show only 1 bar of signal and drains a lot of battery.

Let me get this straight : the correct procedure will be : Change CID / MID , flash RUU, flash custom recovery, flash custom rom? If im correct, m7ul's radio should be different from Tmo's ? [MENTION=4654136]alray[/MENTION]
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
M7_ul uses a GSM radio.

M7_vzw uses a CDMA radio.

The firmware from an M7_ul ruu will not work with a M7_vzw radio. So I'm still certain it will not work effectively. The partitions are ok so that means you should be able to install a GSM Rom without soft brick.

I don't recommend flashing M7_ul firmware though. As alray confirms it will cause issues with your radio. :good:

Why is your bootloader locked?

Pretty sure that's your problem...it's still locked, although s-off.

[Verizon HTC One (M9)] MrTrip:
This fixed it. Holy crud. Did I miss somewhere in the thread that S-OFF and ALSO Bootloader Unlocked?!

I thought Locked meant I was SIM locked, not BOOTLOADER locked...Oh...my...god I'm retarded...It is official :silly::silly::good::silly::silly::good::good:

4 days of total hell because of a locked bootloader, even though S-OFF let me do everything else... :silly::silly::silly:

Thank you guys SO MUCH, I'm sorry I've been a pill. I never needed Bootloader unlocked for Root before because it was system-mode not system-less...

CRUDDDD

Edit: I executed those commands in the Recovery, as I had root in Recovery and was able to set Bootloader to unlocked.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] hallstevenson:
How were you using TWRP ?

I knew there were (2) steps involved in rooting the M9, one was getting S-OFF and the other was unlocking the bootloader. Since you were using TWRP, I thought that meant your bootloader must be unlocked. Or, I'm confusing what's needed...
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] MrTrip:
Once S-OFF you can flash whatever you want, minus modifying bootloader. When I became S-OFF on Android 5 I flashed Recovery, installed Root, and went on my day. The bootloader was never unlocked, and I was unaware of this because I had root and everything seemed to function normally. Come to find out I missed out on a lot having a locked bootloader still, even though I had root.

Once 6.0 came along, root went system-less and required patching boot, but I couldn't do this because the bootloader was locked, hence no root. :good:

It should be noted, because I know I followed a guide somewhere, that 6.0+ REQUIRES unlocked bootloader to achieve Root.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] dottat:
Even on the m8 you could flash twrp while locked but s-off. Number one reason I kept ruu mode flashable twrp zips posted. M9 simply came not caring while in download mode.

Fwiw, this was my number one concern with the mass influx of clip holders working on other members phones. The troubleshooting experience is not there to support the operations taking place. This statement is not meant to chide the op...just food for thought.

Having the same bit of trouble as MrTrip did, I'm very confused, before I made the attempt to go to Marshmellow from Lollipop I has SU and everything was fine and dandy. Can't remember if I had my Booloader unlocked before, but now it certinaly shows up as locked now which is confusing. Regardless, maybe someone knows here, since I am S-OFF I should be able to go the HTCDev route and unlock the bootloader correct?

**Edit** Crap, forgot the whole Verizon is garbage and locks their phones from HTCDev. Still confusing, because I did have it unlocked at one point with a Java Card...
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] dottat:
You only need to run a single adb command to unlock that boot loader as long as you are s-off.

Easiest way is to boot to twrp and do it. You need an ruu mode version of twrp to flash?

Flash this like you would an ruu or firmware zip. Then boot to recovery and run your adb command. Note you won't need to su as you already have root privs in twrp.

I have a Galaxy S5 and just got a S6 Edge. I used the Samsung Smart Switch app and transferred everything from the S5 to the S6, including text messages. However, when I open the text messaging software on the S6, my old text messages are not there. I'm assuming I'm going to have to import them somehow, but can't figure out how.

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nex5x:
Sure it makes sense. If people can add bands they should be able to subtract them. (see the link below, I'm not familiar with how to do what they are talking about though)

Thanks for telling me about GravityBox. I can't tell if it actually turns off the radios, and if they are off at startup. I need 2G and any less secure bands eliminated completely. So preferences are not what I'm looking for. I'm running Copperhead (an AOSP without google services) so I'm not sure that GravityBox would work.

So yeah, I want it to be like the chip for those bands are nonexistent. I think that modifying the firmware/image would work, I dont think I need the GSM chip at all since I'm on Verizon. If I could leave out the GSM radios firmware that might work but have no idea how to do modify ROM images. I bet others would like to remove just 2G or others though.
