[Verizon LG G3] TNRakkGamer:
Okay, so I have done some reading based on what you have told me. I have found a small tutorial for TOT'ing (I don't know if I am using that right) back to 10B, because from what I understand I am at 46A.

Now, one of the things is instructing a guy on how to then "flash a bootstack?" back to 35B and then flash again to 47A. Do I need to do all that? Can I stay at 10B and do what I need?

I believe (based on what I gathered from your post) that I just need to see what I want, for instance : flash xposed, and see which bootstack that requires?
[Verizon LG G3] SofaSpud:
Great! I assume then that there is less risk in downgrading on the G3 MM than G4 MM. From what I understand, the locked bootloader on most G4 variants (except some such as t-mo h811 or internt'l H815) complicates the life of anyone who tries to downgrade or flash anything, with significant risk of bricking or bootlooping.
[Verizon LG G3] jurington:
Yes from 35B and up you have to use the tot method to get to 10B. And no from a rooted 10B with twrp flashed you can flash any rom like xdabbebs 47A marshmallow rom which uses the 35B bootstack, but on sky dragon and Jasmine roms for marshmallow you will flash the 35B bootstack after you flash the rom, other wise you'll soft brick your phone. But its recoverable with doing the tot method again, you just won't see anything on your screen but it will work.

And for xposed there are certain versions for different foresees like kitkat, lollipop and marshmallow. And the vs985 uses the arm NOT arm64. I hope this makes some more sense to you, and there's some awesome people here with the g3's that are also willing to help. So don't hesitate to ask, it's how I've learned a lot of stuff.

Hi,

you could try using the htc_fastboot from here:

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24421527759880682

----------

(from thread http://xdaforums.com/verizon-one-m9...arshmallow-t3316279/post65365561#post65365561 )

If your current fastboot isn't working/throws errors, please use the HTC fastboot in the zip below:

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24421527759880682 (htc_fastboot.zip)

Replace existing commands with the HTC_fastboot prefix.

So for example, instead of:

Code:

fastboot flash zip firmware.zip

You would do this instead:

Code:

HTC_fastboot flash zip firmware.zip

Now one last question do I have to redo the recovery and everything to get a custom Rom?
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kj_gotem:
I just went through the process of installing the custom Rom again and now my phone constantly boot loops with the message " this build is for development purposes only..." it was the newest version of supersu

I'm glad it worked

You need to look for an older version of SuperSU.... 2.64 or 2.65

edit: I'm pretty sure this one works

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] gepp81:
Hi all,

during these months I have had a lot of problems with GPS Fix with my Z3C. These problems occurred after the update to 6.0.1 and I thought that It was a software issue.

In my case, GPS works well after upgrade but It degraded little by little. Applications like GPS Status reported a very very low satellite signal.

Reading every possible forum, I found some guys that explain how to "solve" the problem plugging the usb and powering the phone. An other post specified that the solution was not the "powering" and the fix become better if you lightly pulling the usb connector to you... and It was true! So the problem was not software.

So I opened the phone, disassembled the mainboard from the chassis and tryed to understand what part was involved in the "usb pulling solution".

I found that many connectors (like a little pin) were connected to some particular parts to the chassis (as if it were used as antenna).

In this photo you can see where the mainboard connectors impact on the chassis.

(Sorry the forum prevent me to post link or image)

And this is the specific connector involved in "usb pulling solution"

(Sorry the forum prevent me to post link or image)

It seem that this connector was linked in the edge of connection area, not in the middle as the other connector.

So I gently bent the connector upward and reassembled the phone.

After that, the GPS Status reported a signal very high. Never seen a signal so hight before!

The fix was very fast and the accuracy was constantly under 3mt

I'm not an expert, I'm only a normal user. I hope that this thread can help some other like me that need GPS works very well for run, drive and play.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Wulfhere:
Thank you for this post - I've been fighting with my GPS for months and am about ready to open up the phone too. Any chance you could post the images externally somehow? It would make this a lot easier to follow for me.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] gepp81:
I'm trying to post images but the forum reply me in this way:

"To prevent spam on the XDA forums, ALL new users prevented from posting outside links in their messages. After approximately 10 posts, you will be able to post outside links. Thank you for understanding!"

I'm asking to the moderatos if is possible to unlock me.

I will let you know

Anyway... start watching "sony z3 compact disassembly" on youtube. You need some tool to do this without destroy the phone. But trust me, is not so difficult. In particular, take care about the battery door opening.

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] romcio47:
Nice you've fixed it yourself!

I've already disassembled a plenty of Sony phones (from Xperia X10 pretty much to every single later Sony phone that was available in Poland) and the issue with bent connectors is very very common. I also had this problem in my Xperia PLAY where my WiFi and cellular network connectors were bent and were linked on the edges of the plates.

Do you have a connectors map?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Yarymo:
Hell. I had the same problem : suddenly the GPS signal became very weak, almost unable to catch any satellites and degrading over time, so since I still had 1 month warranty I sent it to the repair center and they changed my PBA (which is the motherboard, I believe.) It is now working like a champ again. If I were to get the problem back in a few month, after my warranty expiration, I'll definitively try to do what you did.

Thanks for the info.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] romcio47:
Unfortunately, no... but I recommend visiting iFixit site where some of the phones are nicely described.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] argotera:
Thanks a milion gepp81!

I believe that since we got a new imei number e got new warranty. I have to check the law.

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] IkE Blaster:
Can anyone confirm this please? It looks weird to me. According to service manual all antenna connectors are on secondary side of mainboard (accesibble without removing battery, just after opening rear cover and removing that frame around, which has 4 screws, if I remember correctly).
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] ZeroCloud:
It works

It works. All the connectors are on one side of the motherboard (not the battery side). The picture gepp81 posted shows the antenna area where the connectors connect to, so not the actual gps connector.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] pichouss:
Thanks a lot!

I had absolutely no GPS signal.

After trying every software tweak / wipe / rom.... (I was hopping it was a software issue) I finally tried your solution, straighten all the little contacts, and now my GPS has a wonderful signal!!!

I destroyed my back cover, but it doesn't matter I prefer that than no GPS :p
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] IkE Blaster:
Wow, thank you. :) I can also confirm this. Despite that official service manual says something different.

Previously zero signal at all (23 satellites with 0 SNR), sometime 1 very weak satellite. Now 9 fixed, another 6 visible. Those 15 doesn't have very strong signal, but it's usable.

I am thinking about using some thin wire to improve it (like this: https://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-Z3-Compact/GPS-issue/m-p/1006245/highlight/true#M12642 ).
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] lakicamm:
Another successful story here - gps stopped working, i updated my rooted kitkat to slimm 2.4, opened phone, did the connectors trick, but gps was still dead. Then after few days i checked "Device only" in Location settings and GPS came back to life! Now works with "High accuracy" mode as well :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] woollef:
Also had problems with my gps. First I thought it was water damage. But pulling with the usb connector made it work again.

Did the trick with bending the connector. Now I have signal but is is not very strong.

Is there a way to make the signal stronger?

Is the copper strip the antenna?

Can I replace this with another copper strip that works as a better antenna?

Or .....?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] lakicamm:
If your gps antenna is somehow damaged, you could fix it using silver paint:

http://www.2spi.com/category/silver-paints-pastes/

I didnt try it, but friend of mine uses it to fix broken boards on laptops... Should work in phones too :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] gregy74:
Same problem. I sent my phone to service. They changed motherboard. Now GPS Works perfect. And my warranty is extended for 2 years, because of different motherboard and IME. Thanks Sony, very good service :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] woollef:
So instead of bending the connector fixing the copper strip with silver paint (or something else) should work too.

I read somewhere that the size of the antenna (copper strip) is important too
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] frapiccio:
Hi, I've tried what you wrote but no improvment seen, GPS work but ever with 6/10 m error.

Is really the tiny copper plate the GPS antenna? there is a way to make it bigger?

About the thread on Sony forum, anyone has tried? if the antenna is simply a copper sheet maybe instead blend only a wire can be use a wire with at the other end has another copper sheet.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] laukas:
Thanks for this!

I jumped on the Pokemon Go hype today just to find out that the GPS is no longer working on my Z3 Compact. I have ordered the parts to change the back camera and and battery already, waiting for replacement back glass. I'll add bending the GPS connector to the list.

Just to make sure, you only bent the copper plate circled with red in the picture? What if I added a blob of solder to the corner of the copper plate, or some strip of paper under the plate to hold it up? Maybe it doesn't fit there..
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] laukas:
So I did the fix and it worked, GPS working again. It was not so much about the thin copper plate, but the "spring" on the motherboard side which connects to the copper plate. I added a small solder blob to the copper plate and bent back the spring on the motherboard.

Changed also the battery and the camera. It was a pain to get the old battery out. The new camera didn't work either :(.

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] kepetrov:
I resolved my low or no GPS Signal...

1. ejected the sim card

2. downgraded Google Play Services to oldest available version via Aptiode. And then reboot the phone.

3. updated Google Play Services to newest version via Google Play Store and then put sim card back and reboot.

Now everything looking good. GPS Fix position in 15-20 sec. I'm on android 5.1.1 ... and sorry for bad english.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] reinoso:
First, thank you for the advice. But in my case , I have disassembled the whole phone, located the little pin and bent it to make a "better contact". But the problem is still present, no GPS fix at all.

In fact, this phone has never get a 3D fix, when it came into my hands (it was new, old stock) I directly flashed it with the concept MM 6.0.1 from stock 4.4.4

Very frustrating ... I love this phone.

Any ideas?

Thank you.

I think copper pad is for ground not an antenna. The real antenna is located in inner back side frame. Both contacts are important to get GPS signals.

I have the same issue here after replacing my LCD screen.

The GPS was working very good, but after changing the screen and removing the motherboard. I had the feeling something was wrong because the LCD screen was deeper than the phone frame. But it was the screen that was not good...

So, I remove the motherboard again, I've cleaned copper pads. Nothing better.

I've played on pins, nothing better.

I've even add in tiny layer of solder ion on the copper pads, but still nothing.

I've notice that all pins are connected to the ground, even when not touching the frame (I did these test with the motherboard off the phone). If all pins are already connected through the ground, what it the objective of these copper pads, someone knows ?

zzangu83, I've played on pins located on the inner side of the phone. Still not working. Do you know which pin is the antenna ?

I notice that the grey part (see picture) on the upper right back side frame is connected to the ground too. I can't test the others, I don't have an access.

Hi everyone,

My problem is pretty annoying I got a LG D405 (Orion 6.0) and using a Dell laptop with W10. When connecting my phone only to charge or using it with MTP I got no problem. But when I enable Adb tools from the settings and connect my phone to my laptop I'm getting a Blue Screen Of Death. Does Anyone got any idea ? Thanks for helping :o
[LG Optimus L90] lfom:
Simply uninstall LG drivers, MM kernel doesn't need them anymore. It's reported almost in every thread....
[LG Optimus L90] DuckyMomo:

[LG Optimus L90] Floating Point:
Wrong.

In CM13 L90 won't connect in adb without the drivers, and if you install them, you get BSOD.
[LG Optimus L90] lfom:
It's not needed to access it in MTP or PTP mode as far as I know, I didn't say anything about adb as most users don't need it. You can try Universal adb drivers for Windows instead of LG drivers for those who need adb (I haven't tested it though)...
[LG Optimus L90] Floating Point:
Why would you tell him to uninstall the drivers and say " I didn't say anything about adb as most users don't need it" when he clearly stated that this only happens when he turns ADB on, nobody would turn ADB on just for fun because is nice.

Universal drivers won't work, ADB in CM13 for Windows is broken, simple. The only option in Windows is via network with adb connect, which is painfully slow. In Linux is working fine.

It's not user fault, I tested in my desktop, in my notebook and even in a jurassic Core 2 Duo notebook with Windows 7 I have here stored in the drawer and all BSOD.

Just tried flashing cm-13.0-20160711-UNOFFICIAL-hayabusa.zip from basketbuild. Everything went fine, phone goes preparing applications, then it goes starting applications and it just waited the for a long time without proceeeding. Upon reboot phone is stuck on booting animation.

In previous builds from basketbuild:

* wifi/cell/gps/compass doesn't work;

* from the start sdcard wasn't available (fixed at 06 or 05);

* screen doesn't turn off and wasn't adjusting (until 08, now it turns off);

* when phone is off instead of charge level two text strings are displayed: "Charging", "??/100".

Apart from that everything went smoothly after updating from cm 12.1 - I haven't cleaned anything. Apps are working, youtube is playing video, ads are shown in games and I can install new apps. There was one reboot while GPlay was updating YouTube.

I can compare by going out for ingress. On previous build of 12.1 phone survived a hour and a quarter. Now it survives a hour and a half. This can be only my imagination though so I'll try to use it in the same pattern for a week or so.

On the other hand the phone overheats. This also may be my imagination as temperature here is near 38́°C (100°F) so everything overheats easily.
