[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lambda89:
Hi,

I just replaced the display unit incl. frame of my Xperia Z3. The display didn't react and the phone had some strange behaviour.

Now i just changed the whole unit, but there is still this strange behaviour.

I recorded a short video. In this video I push the Lock-Button and everytime the phone is telling something (for me) not understandable things.

Sometimes it is telling these strange things when it is just laying and nobody touches it.

Take a strong flashlight and put it on the display, then push the unlock button and look at the display. Do you see something?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lambda89:
No, unfortunately not. It's completely dark. Just the backlight is switching on.

Hi,

I installed Flashtool and connected phone, but Flashtool says, that my phone cannot be officially unlocked.

So mz bootloader is still locked. Is it possible to unlock it?

Over Sony Webpage it is not possible, because I cannot access my phone for IMEI Number.

Unfortunately I do not have an IMEI backup....

Edit:

So, I could erase and flash now.

But it's still not working...

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D3TH KNIGHT:
Alright so I found an unofficial build of CyanogenMod for my Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (N910H) and it was going great. Then my phone died. I went home, plugged it in and there was that battery symbol with the lightning bolt inside of it. Instead of showing me my battery, the Cyanogen boot logo popped up, then it basically did some bootloop thing. Even after unplugging I couldn't get out of it. So I went back to a backup I made earlier and still a bootloop. Then I flashed stock firmware via Odin and still just displayed "Samsung GALAXY Note 4," then went black for a second and just did the same thing. I tried some things other people had like factory reset, wiping cache, removing the battery, etc. But none of them were working. Is there any way to get out of this?

Solution (thanks to syrialkilr and everyone else who tried to help)

1. Flash TWRP

2. Go to advanced

3. Go to terminal

4. Type in mke2fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p3

5. Flash stock ROM

6. Go into recovery mode

7. Wipe data/Factory reset

8. Reboot
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GrippingSphere:
Flash the official stock rom via odin. After flashing go to Recovery then wipe cache and data/factory reset

As the first post says, I tried that and it didn't work.

You could try flashing a pit file. I believe the C variant is compatible, but double check first.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D3TH KNIGHT:
Well C isn't compatible with H but I'm looking around on Google for a PIT file.

Ok, so I found this but I try to to flash the PIT with the stock firmware and the repartion fails.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D3TH KNIGHT:
I also found this and none of the N910H variants worked, they just simply did nothing. They're probably not for my phone but I tried anyway.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dicksteele:
Did you try restoring the backup after you did the ODIN stock flash? Hopefully it was a stock Note 4 ROM.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D3TH KNIGHT:
Are you talking about restoring to the backup after flashing the stock ROM? Because if you are then yes, I tried doing that. I've also tried flashing Cyanogen again with TWRP and still just in a boot loop, but it shows the CyanogenMod animation for a few seconds before restarting.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dicksteele:
OK. Obviously it's not happy with something. I know, obvious

So #1 stop going back to CM. It just scrambles partitions up.

I have N910C but I'm going to try and help.

Were you on a 5.1.1 or 6.0.1 firmware before you tried CM? What was your backup, 5.1.1 or 6.0.1? Shouldn't make a difference I guess. I know doesn't on the 910C.

You're doing the right things, just apparently not the way the phone wants it.

So try booting into stock recovery, factory reset/clear cache. ODIN flash stock firmware. Closest to whatever you were running before flashing CM.

After ODIN flash, pull battery. reboot into recovery, factory reset and clear cache.

Again, obvious.... something is hanging out from previous flashes that the phone does not like.

If that doesn't work.

Maybe flash TWRP in ODIN, reboot into TWRP recovery and do Advanced Wipe

Dalvik Cache, System, Data, Internal Storage, Cache

ODIN flash, that reboot into recovery and factory reset.

One of these wipes has got to clean it up.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syrialkilr:
I'm on the n910c variant and we have bootloop issues to say the least. Especially after cm13. The way I can stop it on our variant is to go into twrp and select "advanced" then "terminal" and once inside terminal type the following command. mke2fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 then enter. make sure there is a space after mke2fs and the number 3 at the end is the location on the c variant for the efs folder. I believe it should also be the same on your version but worth looking into. This will fully delete your efs info from the device. It sounds like you already have a backup but those who dont will want one before trying any of this nonsense
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D3TH KNIGHT:
Nope, nothing, still stuck.

Connect your phone to a PC and copy your twrp backup to it. Next you'll download an ext4unpacker tool here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1921399

When that finished download about 5 seconds later lol, you'll need to unzip it and launch the application file in the unzipped folder. When you start the app you'll need to navigate to wherever you stored your twrp backup. Open it and select the file called efs1.emmc.win. open that and you're looking at your cm 13 working imei. Now you right click on the folder called"imei" and select extract. And also find the file called .nv_data.bak and right click extract again. Rename it nv_data.bin then extract the same file again but call it nv_ data.bin.bak it is imperative that you remove the period before NV. Now copy the folder with its inner file that I didn't name as well as the twin backup files and paste it to your sd card then the computer is off the hook. Go to the play store and download super su and busy box and a competent root explorer. Set r/w permissions so you have root access then go to the root of your phone and open the efs folder. Select all files asked folders and delete em! Then reboot.

Go back to the same place and delete the folder imei and the file nv_data.bin and NV_data.bak then go to your SD card and get your copies and your imei folder. Move them into your efs folder. If it asks what your do in a duplicate case just pick the newer. Once they are moved you'll need to change the permissions to 775 or rwxrwxr _x. So now your 2 copies and the folder are in your efs folder. Now reboot. And you're done
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D3TH KNIGHT:
Ok so I opened up the EXT4 unpacker, clicked on the little folder next to Image File, then browsed to my TWRP backup. I cannot find efs.emmc.win anywhere. there are only these files.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syrialkilr:
OK so it looks like you didn't back up your efs in twrp. You should still be able to go ahead and restore that backup load the OS and make sure your imei is working and then make a new backup. Then start over with the process to get stock loaded and recover your imei. Believe me when I tell you, I feel your pain.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D3TH KNIGHT:
I did what you said, but now I cannot find .nv_data.bak.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syrialkilr:
So you restored your cm13 ROM and your imei is working in that ROM , correct?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D3TH KNIGHT:
Yes, I restored my CM 13 ROM. I got the IMEI off the back of the device under the battery, which works with this IMEI checker. However, the IMEI I get with dialing *#06# doesn't (it doesn't recognize my device as Galaxy Note 4)

Hello to all, :o

I was planning to purchase a new device which would particularly help me explore the world of android development and would be a balanced device overall and then I stumbled upon Zuk Z1.

So I wish if Zuk Z1 owners from all over the world could respond and post their precious views regarding their experience with this amazing sounding device. And views of users using it for about an year now would be greatly appreciated, particularly about the phone's hardware, durability and customer support. :)

Lastly, but most importantly..... I wanted to hear about the overall development undertaken for this device. What are the future development possibilities for the devices? Will the development be continued for a while or it is likely to diminish.

I'd be very much thankful to everyone putting forth their views.

I belive i can help you a little. I own my zuk z1 for a week and i'm really impressed of quality of phone and software. For now i have cyanogenOS instead of cm and i don't see many cons.

So far i don't like only 2 things of this zuk. It's heavy and bigger than my previous 5.5" phones.

About soft you shouldn't care much. It gonna have upgrade to 6.0 soon.

IMHO it all depends of price that you have to pay. Mine costed ~170$ and it's perfect price. Regular price in chinese store's like gearbest/geekbuying is ~250$ what is fair price in compare to samsung/sony.

I have been using the ZUK Z1 for about a week now and so far it's been okay. The battery backup is good and Cyanogen seems to be decent enough; the best part of it is that it doesn't contain any bloatware.

The UI isn't the smoothest but it gets the job done for regular use. Games like Mortal Kombat X and Dead Trigger 2 plays well with minimum to no lag at all.

There are certain issues with the software which I am hoping would be resolved with the upcoming CM13 update

[Xperia Z5 General] langeveld024:
Lol.

Don't use this tweak or don't use the phone xD

BTW, I see u monitor in app.. U never monitor the hottest temperature with it.

Temperature can jump to 60° in less than a second and when u close the game or app u use the temperature will drop immediately in less than a second to let's say 49° celcius.

So by the time u have your monitor app opened, you're seeing lower actual cpu temperature.

I use cool tool to monitor in statusbar.

Just set custom profile and point it to the sensors u want to read.

I configured cool tool to show GPU, big, and LITTLE cores and I can see the GPU is our most heat generator so u might want to downclock if u want lower temperature.

BTW, our mmc chip is spec'd up to 85° celcius and this mod won't allow that high so u should be fine.

The reason u feel the phone gets warm is because of the immense heatsinking doing its work right.
[Xperia Z5 General] RyTekk:
We're using Snapdragon so, the dragon should breath fire, right? LOL I'm just kidding :laugh:

As I told in #1 and as a matter of course, the higher performance the higher temperature. There's a little important point that's where you use your phone, my country is being rainy season so the outdoor/indoor temperature is cooler.
