Sony Xperia Z Users Thread

ang kulit mo rin ano
magkakaiba nga tayo ng customization kaya walang kasiguraduhan kung meron ka na kahit na meron na ang ibang tao
ang openline, mawawala kung based sa root exploit via 3rd party app ang pagkaka-openline. pero kung standard unlocking, hindi mawawala yan.

tol panu malalaman kung standard unlock na ung unit ko? konti lang naman pala ang dinagdag sa 4.3 eh sa camera at battery tweaks only. ung UI nya ganon pa din. .

 

[engr-vhin]

wala pa po bang 4.3 root without unlocking bootloader? salamat po

dapat nakita mo kung pano nila in-unlock yung phone mo. kung niroot nila at gumamit ng android app para i-unlock, malamang mawawala yung unlock pagkareset. pag via PC software ginamit pang-unlock, malamang permanent na yun... though wala rin akong assurance kasi ni minsan hindi ko pa nagagawa yun
I always buy unlocked phones. yung Note 2 ko na dapat locked sa globe eh, naka-open line din pala. maybe one of the benefits of early adopters.
maraming changes ah. atsaka malabong baguhin nila ang UI nila kasi yun ang trademark Sony interface. ano ba iniisip mo? magiging mukhang samsung or HTC?
kung gusto maging iba UI mo, either install a 3rd party launcher like Go launcher, Nova, Apex, etc. at lagyan mo ng custom themes ang icon set. updating to 4.3 is worth it

wala pa eh

backup lang ng TA partition para hindi mawala DRM keys mo. pagunlock mo ng bootloader at pagflash ng custom kernel, pwede mo naman restore yung TA partition mo para ma-lock ulit ang BL at maibalik ang DRM keys.
though ayoko muna mag-unlock ng BL kasi mabubura mga laro ko

Hmm. The only option for locked bootloaders is to downgrade to a rooted 4.2 (if naka-4.3 ka na). Follow mo lang to: [STOCK][C6603][4.3] Update to 10.4.B.0.569 [Root & XZDualRecovery][DE-/ODEX]

sinubukan ko yan eh... sumablay... kaya dinerecho ko na ng flash sa stock 4.3 kasi nagbootloop

 

[Mangekyo]

@themonyo pero worth it naman ung 4.3? bumilis ba ung unit naging much smoother at mas tumagal ang battery life? kasi not like apple pag inupdate mo naiiba ung feeling at ung UI experience like ios7 nasanay kasi ako sa apple kala ko ang android ay gnon din kasi noon natry ko ginger bread, honeycomb, ics at jelly bean naiiba ung UI nila db? kunsabagay kasi line of 4 pa din naman ung jellybean kaya cguro hindi naiba ung ui at trademark nga ng sony ung UI nila.

Hmm I did it myself and encountered no problems whatsoever.

naka 4.3 po ako via OTA. need po kasi ng root para mabackup ang TA e. kaya po ako magflaflash ng 4.2.2 para i root. tas nakita sa flashtool may "wipe TA partition" yun ang tinotukoy ko.

So you are on the process of rooting your phone.. Di naman madedelete yung TA Partition mo unless naguunlock ka ng bootloader which is a different and more tedious process. Pakiscreenshot na lang ng tinutukoy mo na prompt na "Wipe TA Partition". I never encountered that in Flashtool "yet". Im on locked bootloader kasi. Yoko pa magcustom ROM/kernel since di ko pa need "for now".


Additional info lang:

Flashtool will never erase or overwrite the DRM keys and other important details in your TA partition, even if you don't tick 'TA' under 'Exclude'.

1. When switching BE2 on/off, you will clearly see the difference on pictures in your Album app.
2. Go to your service menu (dial *#*#7378423#*#*) > Service tests > Security. If your DRM keys are okay, both MARLIN and WMLA will show up as [Key OK]. If they are erased, they would show up as [Unknown Error]

There. Mawawal lang yun kung bootloader unlocking na ginagawa mo which can be found here.

Nagbackup na rin ako ng TA Partition using this just this afternoon. Baka kasi may magustuhan akong Custom ROM esp. CM-based yung supported ang advance options ng FOCAL Camera. I was hoping camera improvements sa 4.3 pero wala pa rin.. Ayoko yung mga gimmick cam add-ons.

 

[GigabyteZero]

ok na. rooted at backed up na ang TA ko.. pero naka 4.2.2 pa ko

 

[SnytaxErorr]

watch mode muna ako dito habang antay sa 4.3 ni monx ^_^ next month nako makapag-upgrade neto hehe ok pa naman ako dito sa monxDIFIEDrom so far so good wala pa ako naging problema at very smooth talaga
