[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nuurtuka:
I readed the note they gave me with the phone back and it says there that the warranty is voided because of the root and every info about the phone is here on the note , IMEI , Model of the phone , so i think i don't have a chance anymore :( ... And yeah the bootloader is unlocked , i screwed up... I think that , after the phone IMEI is written here on the note they gave me , than they probably blacklisted it as rooted... :crying: Oh god!
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dobsgw:
Sorry to hear that buddy. Some warranty centres ignore root as long as the bootloader is locked.

It's an expensive lesson to learn, but now you know to keep warranty till it expires as it's useful.

OEMs in my opinion make shoddy products to meet high demand so warranty is important to get them to fix their mistakes.

If you feel up for it maybe try replacing the screen yourself?

Otherwise it's the repair cost or a new phone :(

ACTUALLY. If you backed up your TA partition before you unlocked the bootloader (idk seems like you rooted by unlocking BL though) you could restore the TA partition and send it to another place and with a lot of luck they will fix it. All it takes is an employee that doesn't give a s***

But that's only if you backed up the TA and it seems like you wouldn't have.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nuurtuka:
I haven't back up anything, but 1. is it possible to download the DRM keys and flash it on the phone? 2. Will that fix the warranty ? 3. If i flash a thing or two on the phone can it somehow restore the warranty? 4. If i wipe data/cache dalvik will it restore warranty?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dobsgw:
No and don't try.

Once they're gone without a backup they're gone.

If you flash anyone elses TA partition you will brick the phone forever. You don't want to make it worse.

It's literally a unique part of the system and when you unlock the bootloader this partition gets wiped so Sony knows what you did.

Best thing now is to replace the screen yourself or at the repair centre. I hope it's not too expensive :(
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nuurtuka:
My operator wants 300$ to fix it :X , i will ask somewhere else to fix it cheaper. Or i will try to replace it by my self. And i'm from Bulgaria which makes it more expensive here it's 500 Leva...
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dobsgw:
Ah that sucks.

Don't pay. I got my phone new for less than that.

Think through all your options maybe it was time for an upgrade anyway?

Good luck getting a working phone again. It's good you posted here because maybe someone will learn from your experience.

Warranty is important these days.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nuurtuka:
Thank you for your help! I really appreciate it and now i learned a very useful lesson thanks to you.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2010matej:
I broke my screen again after 6 months. This time i want to fix it by myself and youtube. Do you know what i need to buy from ebay, can you send me link for the right lcd, because they are so many diferrent ...? Thank you.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dobsgw:
Totally depends on the problem dude. If you wanna get technical (beyond me I guess) could be a very small component that needs to be changed like a wire.

Could be the entire screen.

You need to do the research yourself as you're with the phone and it belongs to you.

Taking random advice might be worse in this case.

But to be safe you could buy a whole screen replacement and change it. Follow a YouTube video there's loads and find the part yourself as you need it from your country.

Id recommend not buying the cheapest screen as it might be fake. Make a judgement based on other prices and user reviews.

You might decide after looking at YouTube that it's not worth your time.

I remember replacing the battery in my iPhone and when i removed the original I burst it and the acid burnt the flex cable of the power and home button so it went from bad battery to no button functionality. Actually why I ended up with android. A happy mistake :p

The more you research the more you'll be able to do. Hardware isn't as simple as software as the problem and results may vary.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bäcker:
You guys need a new screen. this can be bought separately or with the complete housing (except back cover). The complete part is a bit more expensive but worth the money as installation is a breeze.

You might need a new backcover as well, at least new adhesive for the backcover if you manage to get if off undamaged.

Make sure to buy genuine spare parts, there are many many fakes floating around!

Refer to youtube for how-to videos, it is not that hard!
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MJ999:
Speaking of genuine parts

Where do we get the genuine parts from?

All ads that list the hardware states that it's genuine blah blah
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bäcker:
Im from Germany and I found this shop, they only sell original parts

http://www.schreiber-electronics.de

there are probably similar shops for your country

there are many telltale signs for fakes, especially for the back covers.

look at you original parts removed from you phone (or ifixit teardowns) and compare the pictures

SOLVED

I rooted my s7 and installed twrp. I tried to do a nandroid backup in twrp and got the message that it couldn't mount /data. It turns out that by not performing the data format step in http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s7/development/recovery-official-twrp-herolte-t3333770 TWRP couldn't access /data. I did the steps over again and all was well.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Bright.Light:
Internal data is encrypted nevertheless. Only a format will remove this encryption and it is the only way that you can make a TWRP backup of this data.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] kettir:
Frag. Well, in that case, I've already installed TWRP, so presumably I can just boot to TWRP, swipe right to enable changes, format data, flash supersu, and then flash dm-verity and force encryption disabler. Then go through the setup again.

If I could have my way, someone would disable the security deal with writing to the SD card, the phone could be purchased pre-rooted, and I wouldn't have to worry about bricking my phone every time I flash something.

Rant over.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Bright.Light:
[MENTION=3887782]kettir[/MENTION]: You're exactly right!

btw: The security deal is not over when you root your phone. 'I still haven't found what I'm looking for' is a very precise song for this problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] UrsusXXL:
I had the same issues and succesfully used the sequence proposed by Kettir:

- Enable OEM unlock

- ODIN: Install TWRP

- TWRP: Wipe -> Format data

- TWRP: flash supersu

- TWRP: flash dm-verity and force encryption disabler

If you are someone like me ;), an audiophile who enjoys high quality sound, I have some great news for you!

After searching for months all across the internet and the XDA Dev forums and unsuccessfully trying many audio mods, including the well known Viper4android. I have finally been able to bring great quality audio to my phone with the help of some tools like flashfire by chainfire and Pon 3 Audio which is a Viper4Adroid Mod with some tweaks.

The LG 4 is a great phone, it has everything you'll ever need in a smart phone, an awesome camera, lots of memory, ram, powerful cpu, gpu, etc. however the audio in LG G4 is ok but can definitely be improved, the phone has a great audio processor, with the help of software you can squiz its full potential.

Things to consider:

Your phone must be rooted, this will not work on unrooted phones. How to dowgrade to ZV6 and root here

You should be on stock rom (rooted) not a custom rom, I cannot guarantee this will work on moded roms.

You need to remove Viper4Android if already installed.

*All these steps have only been tested by myself in stock rom version ZV6.

The Sprint LG G4 version bootloader hasnt been opened/unlocked yet, therefore you cant use a custom recovery on this phone.

To aid on this problem we will use this amazing software created by Chainfire, for more information see project link below:

[Zenfone 2 Laser General] HampTheToker:
550KL is in the related threads at the bottom, if you're looking at 500. Both variants have updates. Hopefully 551 won't be too far behind. If only they'd have gotten rid of the bloat that REALLY mattered instead of consolidating it all into the the worst offender. I still refuse to update Quickpic since cheetah mobile bought it and ruined it despite what the Play Store says. Getting rid of a good junk of bloat was a step in the right direction, but they didn't go far enough. Still, you can fix that, but then there's zenui. Maybe it's a little better? At the very least, I hope there will be some updated basebands to really make it worth it.

You are correct.I have flash the twrp recovery then i flashed the supersu.Now my asus stock marshmallow rooted.

I have also tried the xposed module and gravity box working good.

Here are the steps,

1. boot loader mode flash the latest twrp.

2.flash the superSu and wipe,reboot to gain root.

3.Install busy box play store and run(I dont know Why?)

4.Download and install Xposed installer_3_alpha4.apk

5.Download_xposed-v85-sdk23-arm64.zip and reboot

6.Flash the xposed zip and wipe.reboot.it will reboot first time take more the 15 mins to enter.

7.after reboot now we able to flash some modules like gravity box and Android N-ify.

Thats all!

Hi,

the G4 is truly the worst phone I ever had.

The power button doesn't work correctly and sometimes does a double click and sometimes doesn't work at all.

Then I had the bootloop and rescued it by flashing a new firmware.

After that the USB worked fine.

Now when I connect USB it charges very slowly but doesn't do the usual connecting sound. Also the pc doesn't recognize anything.

I opened the phone and the USB connector looks good and I also measured the connection to the test points. So it might be a software issue.

Anyone with the same problem or an idea what I can do?

- I rooted the tablet with Kingo Root

- tried to remove virus with Lookout, Malware Bytes and Stubborn Trojan Killer. They failed.

- tried to delete the virus with Titanium Backup. Unsuccesful.

- used adb shell to manually mount the file system as writable and tried to manually delete the infected files from /system. Failed with message "Operation not permitted".
