Install boot animation?

I was wondering if anyone had a user friendly guide for installing a different boot animation as I really hate the verizon big red screen. Bad enough I have to see the logos front and back on this phone. I do have giga's pre-rooted lollipop rom installed (which is awesome BTW) Help is appreciated.
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] gunz.jones:
Find a flashable zip with the correct settings for the z3v. There's one that was ripped from the z5. I have an original bios boot screen I found on the forums. Just takes a little digging.

I just checked, and I'm fairly sure there's no problems in grabbing the file.
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] Hong98:
Thanks bro. I have downloaded
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] kheun:
Im done to flash this 5.1.1 thanks :) i have no verison sim. My wifi hotspot when ill open its saying "please wait we verifying your account" what should i do??
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] GigaSPX:
Follow the instructions I posted to download Xposed Installer and Framework. Then go into downloads list and download "X Tether". Enjoy.
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] kheun:
can you give me a link ? thank you. :)
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] GigaSPX:
It's literally in my first post. Can't you read? And if not that, Google it.
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] kheun:
Edit- working fine now. Thank you alot :) :) :)
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] GigaSPX:
No, this is only for the D6708. You have plenty of other options to choose from the Z3.
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] stingershive:
Here are some observations from a newbie that may help another. First thing first though is a big shout out to Gigaspx. Thanks, you are the man.

I successfully installed the Prerooted lollipop 5.11, fmradio, and Xposed framework with modules 20Mp Superior camera, Xperiafmwohs, and Serajr Xperia Xposed (lp) to gain the volume quick setting button taken away when upgrading to lollipop.

The one main thing that can help someone new to this is to make sure and not install the newest version of Kingroot 4.85. Thus caused me serious grief with being able to get the latest SuperSu binaries . Find and install Kingroot version 4.52. Then install superSU me. This will replace Kingroot with superSU latest binaries an delete Kingroot. Then you can proceed with zero issues. With Kingroot 4.85 I could not get SuperSU me to work or load the binaries for SuperSU to proceed. So if you ran 4.85 just Uninstall, find 4.,52, and install.. The rest is easy. Just follow the instructions to install from Gigaspx. Thanks again Gigaspx.

I've been running this build since [MENTION=4986864]GigaSPX[/MENTION] released it and he did a wonderful job! Just wanted to say thanks. It's very stable. I did it the old way coming from 4.4.4 using the old exploit.bat method on Windows 8.1 for root and then installing Dual Recovery.
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] pvcdroid:
Request:

Can someone please pull their build.prop from this recent rooted 5.1.1 release from Giga and upload it somewhere? I've messed around with mine and can't get back to my original. I have some issues with call quality that I'm trying to resolve. I would much appreciate assistance.
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] GigaSPX:
By now, you could have at least reflashed the ROM and everything will go back to normal. If you had froze some apps through titanium, it will stay frozen. And if you had Xposed, you could easily reflash that as well to get everything back to normal.
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] fonetik:
After a few days on this ROM my WiFi goes nuts. It disconnects constantly and the settings page says "No saved networks available". I've tried Safe Mode, clearing cache and Dalvik, reinstalling the ROM, removing a bunch of apps and X-posed, and I can't get it working right. Anyone ever have this happen?
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] GigaSPX:
I've never experienced this problem before. Has this ever happened to you on previous firmwares? You should also try checking your Wi-Fi router to be sure there's nothing going on with it too since I have one at work that likes to stop working for no reason and I have to reboot it every once in a while.

Hope this helps.
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] fonetik:
It hasn't happened to me on previous firmware but I'm starting to think that maybe my phone got dropped one too many times and the WiFi hardware is damaged. I just did a full factory reset and it still happens. Everything else on the WiFi network seems to work fine and I tried resetting my router anyway.
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] UltraMagnus0001:
I flashed 5.0.2_23.1.D.0.509 yesterday and then realized that 5.1.1 is here:rolleyes: and it updated nicely which kept all my data/settings from 4.4.4. Will this do the same thing if I dirty flash it or will I have to backup all my apps and restore?
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] Tigerhoods:
wipe data for best results and then find open gapps download what package you want and flash that as most apps need updating at this point.
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] UltraMagnus0001:
I dirtied flashed it just to see what will happen after a titanium backup and everything is working fine. I just had to remove some bloatware apps again, reinstall Viper4android and Xposed for 5.1.1. Works great, and 5.0 really sucks comparing to 5.1. Thanks for the ROM!:good:
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] henrique.h12:
I can flash direcly from 4.4? Just root, recovey and flash? I ask that because the radio maybe are different from 4.4, 5.0, 5.1

Thanks!

[Xperia Z3v Android Development] Tigerhoods:
yes...
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] hall.timothy83:
Searched high and low. Assume no marshmallow will ever be done. Just an ignorant question though. Since bootloader can't be unlocked I assume that an official Z3v update would be needed for a mod similar to this threads...?
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] GigaSPX:
What do you mean? It's no doubt that Verizon kicked this phone to the curb and forget all about it, and won't even look further for more Sony phones to add into their lineup.
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] darker_slayer:
Still only two reasonable options for a waterproof phone on Verizon ... this one and the s7. I'd take this over the s7 unless a massive root exploit comes through that works with the s7. I can possibly live with rooted touchjiz
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] GigaSPX:
I am currently making the Galaxy S7 Edge with Verizon and it looks like root was achieved just recently. Issues with it though are being that it causes some performance issues (which can be remedy by changing the governor), custom recovery like TWRP can't be installed yet, and Samsung Pay won't work even though Samsung's security enforcer KNOX isn't tripped. Plus side is though, root is achieved and Xposed can still be installed.

Not going to do it yet since I'm going to wait until I see further development that some of the issues mentioned will be fixed. The S7 Edge is a legit phone, which is why the Z3v is pushed aside that being it retains nearly all the features it has, but updated and supported.
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] hall.timothy83:
I guess that's what I mean. Those of us who have and do still enjoy this phone are pretty much screwed. I'd like marshmallow on this phone but looks like a distant dream. With that being said what's the second choice on a rootable phone on Verizon's network? Thanks for all the support and information.
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] GigaSPX:
I'm not 100% on that since I don't own any other phones on the Verizon network to know if it has root or not. I'm still contemplating about rooting my S7 Edge, so eh.
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] mjopry:
Hey guys, in need of some serious help. Not sure if this would be the right thread but it seems to be one of the few that are still active. Anyhow, my phone went into the "sleep of death" although i can still get calls and notifications just cant see the display. Which is troublesome to try and troubleshoot. I thought if i tried and flashed the device it would fix it, but can't seem to figure out how or flashtools isn't seeing the device even though it says that its connected. I've also tried the Xperia Companion but when i try to repair and plug the phone back in while holding the Volume - button nothing happens. :( I was hoping to not have to send it in. I've also tried every button combo to reset including the yellow reset button, but i think my Power button doesn't work either. Really stuck between a rock and a hard place, any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, and totally rooting this device after these shenanigans.
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] NMEAGENT:
What did you do to fix it? If you have? My phone seems to have died as well. It was working fine last night and when I woke up, the charging light wasnt on the charger and it looks to be completely dead.
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] Glieseis:
I followed all the instructions, Kingroot worked and all the other steps, lastly flashed the 1.5gb file for the 5.1.1 prerooted provided in your link and my phone got stuck in bootloop SONY/XPERIA logo.

It won't turn off, the only thing I can do is hold power+voldown and go into stock recovery which doesn't do anything even if I try factory reset or safemode, just goes back to SONY/XPERIA bootloop.

Could anyone help?

EDIT: Tried Flashtool after putting the phone in upgrade mode with green light, but still stuck in bootloop

Anyone have a mirror to the files? I can't seem to extract the zip when I download from mega
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] GigaSPX:
You don't have to extract anything from the zip. Be sure it's fully downloaded and you flash it through TWRP.

[Xperia Z3v Android Development] hunterwolves:
Hi,

Can your rom work for Z3 D6616 T-Mobile? I have an Unlocked Bootloader too.

Thanks in advance.
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] GigaSPX:
No, this ROM is only compatible with the Verizon variant phones. Your model should have a wide variety of choices in the other forum as you're freely to have an unlocked bootloader unlike the Z3v.
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] hunterwolves:
Thank you for your reply,

In fact I flashed CM12.1, the phone boots up successfully but the "baseband" is unknown, so sim card undetected + imei is null..

and when I flash other custom roms I get stuck at the rom's logo loading screen.. :s

I don't know what to do.
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] GigaSPX:
Make sure you're not sim locked. You should try asking some people who are well versed with CM and ask what's going on there. I'm not too familiar with CM anymore since I've gotten rid of my Galaxy S3.
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] hunterwolves:
I see, thank you for your time :)
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] HedGui:
Ugh.

There is no KingRoot for Mac.

Also, the nut.xperia-files files are not working under a mac environment.

Install.sh fails unable to find the files.

Finally found the lollipop update as I transferred to tmobile with my z3v and a few months ago, ALL MY MINIAPPS WERE DISAPPEARED GONE.

Gone.

After updating to Lollipop I lost root which I had with KingRoot when I had PC access which I used to get the Nut.Xperia-Files.com files working.

I did get my miniapps back though.

So there is a lot still left to be done,

Not much love for skripters trying to cause .dmg

I know I can always use this prerooted version of lollipop, but at that rate I still need to put kingroot in to root it to install the prerooted version, which is a downgrade really.

HOW TO ROOT XPERIA Z3V

1.7G-XperiaLollipop>200MB-FlashTool>ADWARE-KingRoot>WINDOWS-Nut.XperiaFiles>1.7G-PreRootedLollipop

What a mess.

Know what's going to be a bigger mess though?

Debranding the D6708 Z3V.
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] HedGui:
4.1 KingRoot

1.0.2 King User

Together these two apks have held a root from phone through a reboot, of course I had to install purify and add them to the white listed apps on startup and use kingroot to remove kingroot and deny it rights in King User and block it in Purify. Ugh! When are going to get a decent method to get this done without a PC
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] InkBastard:
Damn. WTF? Lol See my post in Z3V Bounty here :)
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] pvcdroid:
Marshmallow never?

So we will never get to Marshmallow on this phone? I'm still happy with it but find the support infuriating.
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] gunz.jones:
Nope. It was a shot of luck to even get LL. Without an unlocked bootloader, updates can't even be developed outside of sony/vzw partnership. Lame support from vzw, as is customary of them for a few phones I've had, is why I don't have them anymore. If I can't update my phone to the latest OS compatible through then or through 3rd party means with a device I purchased and own, it's just a waste.
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] pvcdroid:
I don't think it is Sony at all. Verizon is the obstructionist imo.

Definitely vzw

[Xperia Z3v Android Development] Alg0rhyth3m':
Got it all working good! Xposed and everything. It sucks that its may 2017 and nobody is really doing anything for continued development of this device. I mean i've had the phone for 3 years now and it still works great. I don't really plan on upgrading because with verizon everything is difficult as it is with modding, so i figured that devs might still be working on newer solutions for this. Maybeeee????

Hello,I tried to flash an ftf rom with flashtool but I get an error message

My device is on the prerooted rom 5.1.1
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] ehall8702:
Why no more roms for z3v?

I finally rooted my z3v and flashed the prerooted 5.1.1 ftf in this thread. Originally I told myself id be content just rooting my phone so I could remive the ungodly amoint of bloatware on my phone. Then I remembered all the great things I could do with my old xperia x10a on CM. I cannot find any roms for my current phone though. Plenty of roms for the z3, and as far as I can tell the z3v and the z3 have same hardware, but am insure if I can flash a z3 rom successfully on my z3v. Im sure im putting this in incorrect place but someone help an old dog huh?
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] GigaSPX:
It is highly NOT recommended that you install custom ROMs onto this phone that does not work on the Z3v. They are separate devices, and therefore will brick your device.

The end of the road of Android development for this phone was met when they finally released Lollipop. As you can see, Android 8.0 Oreo is the most up to date software now. Verizon and Sony did not do this phone any justice.

Hello. I own prestigio multiphone3450duo, its mt6582 based. I downloaded custom ROM from mtkroms site called PussyFapv4. And my problem is that I cant flash ported ROM, I was able flash trought CWM only original one I downloaded, and when I try flash ported, it says aborted. Even if I replaced only boot.img file. Cant. And with original one I am stucked on bootloop as well, I let for 12mins to boot up, but its like phone turn off and again turn on. First I get logo,then grey screen, then black as turned off and again logo screen. So where is problem, why I can flash only non-ported one? At least I thought it will work but nah :/

Hello, I'm seeking for help because I've encountered a serious issue.

The tablet comes with windows 8.1 preinstalled. I upgraded it to windows 10 and it was working fine!

Now, when I decided to reset it, to clear the memory, because it was full of useless stuff I couldn't get rid off. Suddenly this issue happens. -

https://youtu.be/OmUuKbFwc30

Can anyone tell me why is the tablet doing this? Before the reset, everything was working fine. :crying:

And tell me what can I possibly do? Calibrating the screen doesn't help at all. I can't get any official firmware for this tablet either.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RSGI:
So i'm assuming that you also didn't made any backup before the update...

I believe if you dont get the stock rom it will very hard for you to see that tablet work fine again...

EDIT: Nevermind...

I also have an estar tablet and i dont believe that they give any support on that...

I wish i could find one rom for my Mercury HD...

"To help support the explosion of mobile Internet usage and give customers a great experience, AT&T plans to fully discontinue service on its 2G wireless networks by approximately January 1, 2017."

"AT&T expects to fully discontinue service on our 2G network by approximately January 1, 2017. As AT&T progressively frees up valuable spectrum for our mobile broadband network, we may conclude that some markets or territories need to turn down 2G service prior to the nationwide turndown."

This is not an AT&T thing either. T-Mobile is also in the process of turning off 2G coverage and is expected to happen around the same time.

I'm currently in the market of getting a Smart Watch/Cell Replacement with WiFi Hotspot abilities in the USA. With these new changes to both AT&T and T-Mobile, are there any Smart Watch/Cell Replacements that work in the USA? And with what carrier?
[Other SmartWatches] Lokifish Marz:
You want 850Mhz (limited coverage area) or 1900Mhz 3G capable smartwatches. Those will work with AT&T.

Only 1900MHz 3G will work on T-Mo and that's if you are in a 1900MHz coverage area.

I won't provide a list as that would take days of research to do, and it would have to be done on a continuous basis to keep the list up to date.

I have a T-Mobile 4G HotSpot Z64. In my town it only connects to 2G. But if I go to the next town over it's on 4G. Suburb of Buffalo, NY here. I have a ZGPAX S8 coming tomorrow and that says 3G only on WCDMA 2100MHz. Was this a wasted purchase in my area on T-Mobile?
[Other SmartWatches] Lokifish Marz:
You will get 2G until they turn it off and that's it. T-Mo doesn't use 2100 but 1700+2100 or 1900.
[Other SmartWatches] Rodimus80:
The specs on the Hotspot say it's GSM/EDGE:850/1900MHz - UMTS/HSPA: 850/AWS/1900MHZ. If it's 2G at my home but 4G in a different town, then would it be my tower hasn't had 1900 upgraded? And if so, will a Android Smartwatch with 2G 1900 work still?

To help support increasing mobile Internet usage and continue to provide you with a great customer experience, we started to discontinue service on our 2G wireless network as of December 31, 2016.

AT&T wireless customers attempting to use 2G devices on this network after the shutdown will be unable to:

Make or receive calls, including emergency calls.

Send or receive text messages.
