So I just bought a phone and I am trying to get into recovery etc. I want to install AOSP rom for my Xperia Z.
I can't get into recovery because there is no PINK led for me to start pressing the volume keys.
but is all of that irrelevant?
I can't sign in using my google account, I have to sign using previous owners account. I don't think I'll get that.
Can I myself find out what xperia this is? I can't even be sure of that now. It just says Xperia Z on the backside, it's a massive, 5,7" screen.
are you sure, buddy?
Xperia Z has 5" screen
and there is no Xperia phone that has 5.7" screen

Hello! you were right, 5.5", i measured it against my Note 3 and they looked about the same, so i thought 5.7".
Either way, with the help of a buddy we got into the phone, and all of that works. Now I just have to root it, it's turned out to be a hassle, finding the right drivers so far hasn't yielded any results.

Hello friends,
I own a Xperia Arc S and would like to upgrade. But not shure whether to get Xperia T or TX
Xperia T have good ROM support over here whereas TX doesnt.
According to me TX looks better though.
I know the actualy difference between them but would like to know lil more from users.
So i need your help guys in deciding as it is a big investment and dont want to regret later in future.
I went through many threads but couldnt find my answers.
Any help is appreciated
Thank You
I got the T, and never once missed the removable battery, off not I really like non removable battery, it is a little bit bigger, and hard reboot is done with button combo.

Did I help? Then please press the thanks button
The real big selling point of T is it's LTE capability but provided your carrier also supports it. Otherwise just get the TX, it slightly looks better plus battery is removable.
Btw, the TX has the CyanogenMod support now also like the T.
Tapatalked from my TX
yea i was wondering about the hard reboot too..normal we just remove the battery to restart. But always wondered what non-removable battery mobile ppl do..
I have one more doubt. Cant we flash T ROM on TX just like we do in Arc forum. Arc S ROMs can be flashed on Arc with lil patch.
For ICS ROMS that is indeed possible, the patch isn't there (yet) for JB

So TX users haven't enjoyed the taste of sony JB yet?
There is a thread very similar to this already.
If I recall correctly, the only differences were the T has better rom support, LTE capability, and a bigger battery, while the TX has a removable (but less capacity) one.
yes i went through many threads but couldnt find my answer correctly.
Hope TX ROM support really picks up. Bad thing is that launch of xperia Z is around the corner and many ppl will go for that instead of xperia T or TX and this is surely hit TX development.

thanks for clearing that doubt..so frankly speaking for which device should i go for? I know it will be my decision in the end but I at a point where i can go for any device..so confused..
So ROM support wise =T
Design and look wise = TX?
battery wise = TX?
overall = ?!?!

Looks = T (IMHO, but thats down to you)
Battery = Diesnt matter...
So the T has it for me

Battery wise I would say T, since it has a bigger battery.
Design, in my opinion, T
Screen wise, tx does seem a little clearer, but only if you have touch firmware B
Rom support, definitely T
Overall: T

I've had mine since October, and it's like brand new (and I don't use any case). Perhaps there was a faulty batch.

XV is not available in India yet
as of now only T and TX are available..
Its really sad how Sony are slow to launch a product in India even when they know India is one of the biggest and important market.

Hi!
Is there any simple solution to use the volume buttons for taking pictures with the sony xperia z camera app?
(my xperia z is rooted, so changing camera.apk wouldnt be a problem at all, there was a fix for SGS2 but of course the apk doesnt work on the sony)
Thank you

Of course I did, but there is no solution for the Xperia Z.
And as I wrote, i want to use the stock camera app from Sony - not any 3rd party which, in your case, also costs money.
well my question is , do you know if it's in the work?
do you think it will be possible in the near future to desimlock the Xperia Z?
did someone managed to have a code via an online site ?
and how much it cost you if so...
thanks!
I would like to know to, mine is turning up tomorrow on EE (UK). I have seen loads of sites offering it around $40 for the code but i would like a trusted site which people have tried/tested
so...I guess it's not possible judging by the lack of answers...

If you mean the Xperia Z instead of the "XZ" which was posted above, then it is of course possible. However, I'm slightly unsure which phone you are referring to?

Is it possible to have thia modification in any wihich way if it can be enabled on tge z1 then it can on the z assuming it uses a similar digitizer/touchscreen technology http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2652762

I dont no but I was assuming it would use tge same type of hardware as I read that it had something to do with the lcd touch panel on the z ultra which tge z1 has just the feature wasnt enabled on it and could be the same for the z if anyone can work around this it would b nice

yeah but the Z1 uses different screen technology to the Z.
if it was same hardware, people would have posted about it now i reckon

Hmmm ok then i wasnt entirely sure on wether it was different or not seems to be so now thanks for that
go to Xzkernel thread in orig-development and look through threads , i understand it is gana be so hard , but it MAY come someday
I believe the Xperia Z uses a different screen hardware to the Z1 so this may not be possible.
Hi all
I can see that not much is going on here on this forum with the Xperia x performance.
Custom Rom etc is not existing and not much activity on the forums. Not compared to galaxy s7 anyways.
Sony has never made better phones than now, and the arc, s, z etc had a lot of activity.
It is a shame.

Because we have no root on LB.
I was planning to get one, but it still very expensive for me... unfortunately!

There won't be anytime soon either, but a way to back up the ta keys on all the x range would be great. Currently the only thing stopping me unlocking & rooting my xa. made the mistake of loosing ta keys before won't do it again.

Do you actually think the X line is better than the Z line? Seriously?

The shame is the loss of DRM keys and all the rest.
What rest? Well, on Z3 and Z3c we can't even use an AOSP rom without big issues on the camera (the fish-eye bug), therefore for us a real development has really never started in 2 years (2 years my friend!!!!)
We were a lot of people, everybody is escaping now... :crying:

I like the x.. I also like the z, the phones have gotten better in specs.. The design is a matter of opinion.
I agree on the drm issues.
It was not to offend you.

I actually think the X performance is a nice phone, ofcoz the X is actually downgrade from Z5...
It's ok as far as they keep a flagship upgraded and better than before. The new design looks excellent and for me is better than the boring Z series look, actually even better than the new xz.
Btw, for the reason they sell the standard X so hard, more than the X perf is that they dont want people to get X Perf coz it's too good, too good that u wont need to upgrade for a long time. Sony wants u to upgrade after a year, not 2 or 3 years like the over power Z series LOL. And ofcoz personally I'd recommend Z5 more than the standard X, but X perf is excellent to me
I'm liking my x performance replaced my Z3 which I still have its a great device with tons of Power we just need to find a way to bypass or fake dm-verity to get root on lb

Is "AndroPlus Kernel v7" did the work here (fake DRM /hide DRM security measure)? but this time with UB.
And as i know the difference between the LB and the UB is the lack of the DRM, but if the problem solved here with this kernel so it considered as a partial resolution until find another way to root with LB.
Correct me if i was wrong
Thanks
Envoyé de mon Xperia x performance
Problem is some carriers lock the bl and you can't unlock cause unlock bootloader says no and no way to change it to yes on carrier locked ones. Ive talked to Sony and Rogers and neither are interested in helping change status to yes. Sony says talk to carrier and carrier says talk to Sony just a vicious circle has to be a way to change status
