[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] linuxct:
Hi all!

I'm happy to say that, thanks to iovyroot, and with a lot of help from zxz0O0, we managed to create a new root tool for the Xperia M2, EagleRootTool, meaning we don't actually need to use Kingroot anymore to root LBL devices under latest Lollipop firmware :victory:

However, since this root binary is compatible with (probably) any kernel built before December 2015, I thought of making the tool compatible with some other devices, like your Z ultra, since it's actually very similar to my device.

Unfortunately, since this tool's based on some kernel-specific addresses, to make it compatible with other devices like the Z ultra, I need them from every single variant.

I'm going to take for reference all models and firmware build numbers from XperiFirm.

WHAT YOU NEED

:

- An already rooted device in 14.6.A.1.236 (

it doesn't matter if it was rooted by Kingroot, or via UBL methods

).

- A little of Android general knowledge: Usage of ADB (mainly).

- Patience.

DEVICES

:

- C6802

- C6833

- C6806

- C6843

HOW TO DO IT?

:

Just open an ADB prompt and run a shell in it. Then, run the following commands, replacing the *location with storage/sdcard1 if you want to use your SD Card, or with data/media/0 if you want to use the internal memory.

su
cat /proc/version > /[COLOR="Purple"]*[/COLOR][COLOR="red"]location[/COLOR]/version.txt
echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict
cat /proc/kallsyms > /[COLOR="Purple"]*[/COLOR][COLOR="red"]location[/COLOR]/kallsyms.txt

(remember to hit enter after each line of the above :silly:)

Now upload those two files (version.txt & kallsyms.txt) wherever you want, or attach them in your comment, saying which model they're from, and I'll add the required offsets to support your device manually! :)

[Sony Xperia ZR] rufy93:
Definitely interesting.

In case no one is quicker I'll give the commands a go and revert when I'm home during the week.

Another note, any possibility for getting this on another complete different device? (I am looking for my daily one, a vk6050s which has a kernel date of Nov 6)
[Sony Xperia ZR] linuxct:
I see no problem (apart from being 64bits, it might be harder to get the offsets) on adding compatibility for it, however the mentioned root tool is only prepared for XPERIA devices, since it disables RIC and does some other things that'd probably mess something up in a almost "AOSP" device. Once you run the binary, you get as a result an elevated shell, as root, so you can now mount the system as rw and add the supersu files in there (from lines 44 to 146, and from 169 to 181 in the install_tool.sh provided with EagleRootTool).
[Sony Xperia ZR] rufy93:
It's worth a try for the vk if you are up for it (anyways, we can move that discussion over to PM)

For the C5503 i have included the two requested files in the attached 7z. (XDA won't let me upload kallsyms.txt unless i zip it, tooo big)
[Sony Xperia ZR] linuxct:
Added https://github.com/sergiocastell/iovyroot/blob/patch-1/jni/offsets.c#L285

C5502 is still remaining.

Check your PM.

Alrite, O2 users

let's see who else is in my position

My O2 contract is over

still with O2

being stupidly patient with them not even having a confirmed release date for their version of the kaiser or the rumored XDA Stellar

being so tempted to move to T-mobile

even been offered a fantastic deal

PLUS t-mobile is using HSDPA and have the best mobile browsing tarrif and service

only thing is,

the t-mobile version of the fone is UGLY

and also

im pray pray praying that O2 retentions would give me a better deal, AND maybe they would come out with a better looking version of the phone.... that way i can myself the hassle of moving my number around

all i can do now is wait

what do u guys think?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] weasel:
I switched to T-Mobile on a WNWplus tariff. When I phone O2 to cancel, they offered me £100 credit on my bill plus lower tariff than currently. But since they could not even tell me IF the Kaiser was coming out, I switched. Got my MDA Vario III in 48 hours and my number was ported in a week or so (until then I used call diverts to my temporary number).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] inthemicz:
I'm waiting. It's a work phone upgrade so I don't have a choice on the network.

I've just had to ask them to wait to do my upgrade
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] firstsikh:
Thought i was the only one....

NO You are not alone!

I too have been waiting patiently, and ive gotten rather frustrated too, i called up o2 and have not been told when the phone is coming out or if it will even come out.

Im not sure if i should just go to expansys and get the phone from there. But then ive also been advised to wait since if o2 DO release the phone they might offer a better deal...

Im very happy you started this thread.. i thought i was the only one waiting.. :o

btw, november 19th is the "latest" release that ive heard of..... (ive also heard dec/jan... i guess noone actually knows)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] churchwa:
I just spoke to them and they said Nov to me as well
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] predo:
guys dont want and just switch to t-mobile.

Even if you get kaiser in o2 Data plan is rubbish - 200 or 300 megs only...

i know it sounds a lot but with tmobile unlimited data plan there is so much less to worry about.

after more than a year having wizard on o2 and now having kaiser on tmob i'm finally discovering what a pda is really for! email on the move, browsing internet whenever i wish to, listening to favourite internet radio on the way to uni and many more.

and hsdpa.. omg how fast it is... I'm lucky to be from Edinburgh where whole city is covered with Hsdpa range! :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Mr.Clark:
I switched from O2, since I figured December at the earliest for the XDA Stellar - they don't want to poison their precious iPhone launch, do they?

The T-Mobile phone is a thing of beauty. It's not the cool black look of my XDA Exec, but it's actually very nice. The pictures don't do it justice, IMO.

O2 retentions tried to fob me off with a crappy 200Mb for £7 deal. When I pointed out that T-Mob gave me 5 times as much, he simply assured me that based on my current usage (nil) I'd never go over that. He didn't have a comeback when I said the reason I didn't use their data at the moment was because it was horrifically expensive.

He did offer me about 50 minutes for £8 per year, but that was just to keep my number on their books, and I wanted to transfer it over, so I declined that one.

Also, O2 are downgrading their networks from 3G to EDGE so that the iPhone can get better-than-GPRS speeds. T-Mob are upgrading to HDSPA - it's even in Macclesfield! (well I was impressed :D)

Also, as mentioned, T-Mob give you 5x as much data per month as O2.

I switched.

Think about it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] JC#79:
I had a line with both I was tempted to wait till o2 got there act together but as I already used my orbit with my t-mobile chip, the choice was simple.

I wanted to see if o2 were going to get the device looking as good as the orbit, but I am glad I didn't wait as the device is so much better than I could have imagined.

The speeds are amazing in comparison, not worth the wait go with t-mobile imho.

Only benefit with possible o2 issue is the all black looks (like orbit) but by the time that comes out better options will already be on the horizon.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] PhoenixAG:
Why not get a Vodafone v1615 (Kaiser)? It has a beautiful shiny black back and looks really nice.

I got it for free because my bill this month was quite big :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] wywywywy:
Today O2 announced that they are going to drop the 200mb FUP.

So unlimited will really mean unlimited.

I don't know if that only applies to iPhone customers (unlikely) or everyone.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] flipside101:
Hi Just like to say i too am waiting , waiting waiting zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz for it on O2 UK as the T-Mobile service around my home and in London City is still appaling.

ive asked o2 if teh 200meg FUP is lifted for all users but have had no reply as yet.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Mr.Clark:
The Register think it'll (at least to start with) be for iPhone customers only.

What does this mean? GPRS and EDGE only. So it's harder to download more, since you're getting it so much slower than HSDPA.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] churchwa:
I get HSDPA on O2 now in London. They are rolling it out.

Strange thing is, I only get H on my phone when i am actually using the data.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Nikumba:
I belive that is how it is meant to work.

My contract is up in a month so I am waiting to see what o2 do. My mate who is an asst manger in an o2 store told me Dec/jan

So will have to see

Kimbie
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] foaf:
I didn't wait, and even forfeited a month of my contract. Apart from the lack of the XDA Stellar and 200Mb limit, I've also noticed O2 have deliberately invested in sponsorship deals such as The O2, as oposed to new technology. The iPhone is a prime example of their lack of commitment, as they have taken the 'easy' technology option.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] markuserectus:
I checked today and the O2 XDA Stellar (IE TyTn II) should be avaliable on the 27th of november. this is subject to the clearance of current stock of the XDA Trion (original TyTn).

also the 200mb limit isnt really invoked only if you use around 1GB will anything be checked as the codes to add this to the system show a 1024mb limit in place on the £7.50 bolton
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Nikumba:
Oh well got a Vario 3 now on TMob

Kimbie
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] spooki37:
I got mine as an O2 upgrade a month ago from here and it's the original HTC phone, much better than the crap O2 will probably roll out themselves

http://www.theorder.co.uk/o2/upgrades/deals/HTC/TyTN II/O2-Upgrade
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] eyebeebe:
I rang 10 days ago to get a PAC code to transfer to my Orange Tytn II. They offered me the Stellar on November 19th for free with unlimited data for £7.50 a month with 500 mins and 500 texts on a 12 month contract for £25pm

The Orange Tytn II is going back tomorrow as the reception is awful where I live and work, which in turn is killing the battery.

I'm hoping the rollout hasn't been pushed back.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mattwong2120:
hi there?

they're giving out offers for the stellar ALREADY?!

that's not fair

i called them 2 days ago for my pac code and the best they can do to make me stay is saying to me "well, it's up to you..."

who did u call? o2 retentions or xda

did they promise they will have it delivered by the 19th?

and... how the heck duz the stellar look like?

hummmmm
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] inthemicz:
I just phoned our o2 business number and was told 26th november, with the same thing about the current stock of the Trion.

I think that must be the reason they haven't announced it yet. They must have loads of Trion's left.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] eyebeebe:
I called retentions and told them I had my Orange Tytn II in hand and said to them you don't have the handset and you can't match the data plan please can I have the PAC code. He asked what deal I was getting with them and when I told him, he said I know I'm biased but you have to take it back we can offer you 500 mins, 500 texts for £25 and unlimited data for £7.50 (beating Orange at £8 for 1 gig).

When I asked about price he said look I can't say for sure but based on your current usage, how long you've been a customer etc you could have any phone/xda we have as an upgrade for free - I can't say 100% it will be free but there shouldn't be any issues.

I'm taking back the Orange after I've typed this, not because of the deal I've been offered but because of the poor coverage I've got. I'm the type of person who honours a contract, so wouldn't break it for monetary reasons, so thsis will be an added bonus. I'm going to call retentions when I get back and get my order placed - so that my phone arrives the day it comes out - whether that is the 19th or it has been pushed back so be it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mattwong2120:
ok

i called o2 retentions

they gave me a slightly better deal

same as urs, but 20 quid, 18 month contract, with unlimited o2 to o2

i asked n ur 12 month deal is also avaliable

the fone would come in free for me as well... but thing is, they can only hold this offer for 7 days and they cannot 100% garentee i can have the exact same offer, but they wrote it down in their system n they are willing to try when the fone comes.

btw the launch is expected to be on the 26th nov...

2 more weeks.

im quite curious how the stellar would look like...

oh good god pls make it look better than the vario iii
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] gaiden0000:
Well, I just got off the phone with O2 business customer care. And the Stellar is going to be released on the 26th of November.

I got the following information regarding pricing if you are taking out a new contract:

24 Month: Best for Business £25 + O2 Web Bolt On (£170.20 Phone) & (£31.38 monthly) you get 600mins + 50 txt + 200MB data.

12 Month: Best for Business £25 + O2 Web Bolt On (£170.20 Phone) & (£31.38 monthly) you get 200mins + 50 txt + 200MB data.

* Of course with them you get the unlimited calls to other o2 numbers.

So here you have the cost of the phone on the cheapest rates they have, so you can figure that the more expensive rate the cheaper the phone.

Now, i'm off to my time machine to spin forward to the 26th.

USE THIS IF YOU WANT TO USE DR.KETAN COMPLETELY ON SPRINT NETWORK

I got the rom working on my N910P here are the EXACT steps and links to files i used.

1) Make sure you are on OK1 bootloader: I flashed BOTH the baseband and the Firmware.tar with ODIN

Failure to flash both could lead to WIFI not turning on and Camera not focusing

provided here: http://xdaforums.com/note-4-sprint/development/basebandsbootloaders-ok1-pc1-pb5-t3358357 BIG THANKS TO [MENTION=309990]freeza[/MENTION]

2) Flash the M5 rom

Provided here: http://xdaforums.com/note-4/snapdragon-dev/n910g-dr-ketan-custom-rom-t2928568 another big thanks to [MENTION=3931450]dr.ketan[/MENTION] for the great rom!

3)Flash just the H-Vitamin Kernel alone not the MM5 fix or anything just the kernel

Provided Here: http://galaxynote4root.com/t-mobile-note-4-roms/how-to-convert-galaxy-note-4-into-galaxy-s7-edge/2/

Special Thanks to [MENTION=2447605]zedomax[/MENTION]! He also has a good video on this if you want to follow there, just use the files I give you rather than the ones he does!

3) Flash the Verizon data fix V2 ( located in attached files under first paragraph). I know you want the phone to work on sprint but for some reason this lead to me getting the rom to work.

provided here: http://xdaforums.com/note-4/snapdragon-dev/marshmallow-6-0-1-ports-data-fixes-t3379978 Thank you [MENTION=2685386]louforgiveno[/MENTION]

4) Flash SuperUser I used beta 2.74

provided here: http://xdaforums.com/apps/supersu/2014-09-02-supersu-v2-05-t2868133

@chainfire thank you!

5) Boot the phone and set up APN. You don't have to speed through set up, I went ahead and did a full restore before doing all of this.

Name-Whatever you want

APN-n.ispsn

MMSC-http://mms.sprintpcs.com

Multimedia message proxy- 68.28.31.7

Multimedia message port- 80

MCC-310

MNC-120

everything else leave as is go ahead and save.

6)Set Network Mode to LTE/CDMA then go ahead and try to test SMS and MMS

if it doesn't work boot to recovery and go to next step. It didn't work for me but hey you guys might get lucky.

*Note that stock messages app may not work, in my case if i went to attach a file the app crashed so every time so i continued on with Google Messenger*

7)Flash this fix: http://xdaforums.com/note-4-sprint/development/steps-to-install-dr-ketans-rom-g-t3379659/post67086423#post67086423

Thank you [MENTION=1919231]KLPFL[/MENTION]

I'm not sure if this fix overwrites what the Verizon V2 fix does, or if its the same thing but like i said these are the steps and files that worked for me!

8)Reboot phone go to settings make sure network is LTE/CDMA, check and make sure APN is set right, now try texting if nothing happens turn off mobile data for a minute. Turn it back on and you should be good to go with sending SMS and MMS (calling and receiving and data work)

Took me a week to figure out all the files and all the fixes to use! I don't take credit for any of the files or fixes or rom I simply got things to work!

i m already on stock PE1 .... is it necessary to go back to lollipop OK1 and then again move upwards?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redxblood85:
Yeah you gotta be on OK1, any marshmallow bootloader will cause the phone to not boot. Once it's set you can try flashing back to PE1. I ran the rom with Beast mode kernel, and PC1 and it worked once it was set up. But yeah for initial set up you need to be on OK1
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] divineazn716:
hey red, I did the install the way you have it set, but after I installed everything and let it boot, I cant access the settings portion? It just says unfortunately settings has stopped? and there is no way to access through the apps launcher because its not there? Where did I go wrong? I started from fresh OK1 as well.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redxblood85:
I've never heard of that happening. I would try reflashing the rom and kernel then letting that boot alone. If that boots then go back and flash the fix. Also just to make sure, wipe your data, cache, system, and dalvik before flashing everything
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] divineazn716:
Hey red, sorry for the late reply, I just got out of work, but to update you on my issue, I went to ok1 stock it I didn't wipe data and cache stuff etc. I finally received did it and I have phone calls and data. When I sms it takes forever to send, like 7 minutes to be exact, I know this by texting my wife and seeing how long it takes. It does eventually send the text, but also I tried to send mms and that does NOT send? I'm not sure why? I did the mobile setup the way you said in the beginning. Then I had to flash the mod afterwards because I was not able to send sms. Afterwards I decided to turn off mobile data for a minute to see if it helped but it was the same. I also tried turning mobile data off and rebooting and turned it back on but still no luck. Is there anything else you suggest I try? I greatly appreciate your work!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redxblood85:
are you using the stock messaging app? If so then try a third party like google messenger. For OK1 did you flash both baseband and firmware? Also are you using KLPFL data fix for the second fix flash?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] divineazn716:
Yes I tried the stock and then I downloaded the Google messenger app. Was Dr kreton rom suppose to already have the Google messenger? Yes I flashed ok1 full. I didn't do it separately, I have a tar file from back then to flash it full. Should all this information be correct?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n70shan:
ok i was on 6.0.1 PE1 and then i turned off my phone and flashed OK1 baseband and firmware then i flashed twrp recovery and then this rom etc but my phone is not booting up it is stuck at samsung logo... now what?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] divineazn716:
Hey I ran into that problem too, after you went back to the OK1, did you wipe as stated before you flashed the rom? make sure you wipe first or else you'll have problems.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n70shan:
yes when i installed twrp i first wiped system, data, cache etc and then installed rom but my phone is stuck at samsung... now what should i do? i have to odin back PE1 to make my phone alive for now
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] divineazn716:
Did you try to ODIN OK1 again? after you ODIN OK1 again let it run and see if it boots up with stock OK1. If it doesnt and it keeps bootlooping try going to wipe the usual and THEN ODIN OK1. I had to try so many things to figure it out, isnt it fun? lol even though it takes up hours of your day.... =/
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n70shan:
i think this is issue with downgrading from PE1 to OK1 but on contrary they are saying this is how it works... i m confused now... [MENTION=3931450]dr.ketan[/MENTION] can confirm
