Database Develop

Is still there someone with developer/retail 4X?

nobody asked about it, so i have to
i read somewhere that this 4X version could help with bootloader..

Hmm, has anyone tried comparing the bootloader,bin from a stock 4X to one from the developer ones, to see what if anything is different?

the lock is not in the bootloader, but only the check for a lock is. so nomatter which bootloader, you will probably get a locked bootup or unlocked depending on model.
anyways how will you compare that bootloader? i believe only wkpark extracted the bootloader from official distribution kdz file, no developer kdz exists so you can compare, and i believe bootloader allocation is not found within mmcblk0 area, so it will be hard to compare the memory.

I was thinking looking at the assembly of both and seeing what is different. It was just a suggestion that wouldn't work hahha. What im kind of looking for at the moment is a guide on 2nd init. (I cant figure out how to get it to boot.etc, i know its something to do with the DRM, i basically dont know where to get started.) other than 2nd init i am also looking at a custom stock rom....

I haven't dev phone and have 'unknown' but i think this option just doesn't mean nothing.

i found that too
it means bootloader is completely issolated from the system itself
and the OS doesn't have access to bootloader or its info for that matter

[Q] Weird app and firmware update

So I was using my phone when suddenly there're notifications about a dummy app and a firmware update 12.1.X.0.2205. The dummy app didn't do anything much went opened tho. Just XPERIA written all over the screen. As for the firmware update it uses X instead of A and build 2205 just make no sense. Furthermore it's 0.2205 which I suppose is kind of weird. Any of you received the same or it was just me? I've searched the whole forum searching for answers and I can't find any. Is it just Sony mistakenly released it or what?
And as for the firmware update. I tried every means to get it installed but the installation failed. Just asking because of curiosity tho.
It might have been a mysterious force gave me superpowers through a weird phone update and I cant access it until the time comes but oh well that's just me and my imagination

Perhaps an idea to make a screenshot?

You are running a Custom ROM I believe? So perhaps that is the issue

Oh yeah and one more thing. Is there any possibilities that this is a sign that Sony's making a kit kat build? Since that update I received was weird and all. I had a tiniest hope in that
Or maybe it's just my update centre is bugged and all :silly:

Nah I wouldn't say it's the same as there is no announcement of a new firmware by Sony. The link was for .205 and I've updated mine.
A little off-topic tho hahah.
About the notification bar I use Serajr systemUI mod and Serajr Xperia Xposed (KK) to get the gaussian blur effect

5.1.1 Update News?

Anyone hear anything about this? Z3 and Z2 owners are getting the update currently but I haven't seen Sony mention the Z3+ at all.

Downloaded PC Companion and checked for updates. Nothing...

I'm sure Sony is waiting this time with update for their latest flagship simply because they want first fix some of issues this phone suffer with like heating issue or bootloader issue when myXperia is on...so it will take longer time I guess

That's what I thought as well. I tried to confirm over on sonymobile forums but no one really acknowledged my question.

Any news about this yet? Somebody told me it has started to roll out in Asia. Is this true?

There is currently (recently uploaded I think, as I don't remember them on there the other day) a release for Italy Generic, Turkcell (Turkey) and Vietnam generic version 28.0.A.8.251 on Xperifirm. I'm currently downloading the Italian one but it is going slowly as it is on my work computer. It is apparently 2.03gb in size btw, will let you know the android version once its downloaded and installed.

Its still 5.0.2

The kernel seems to be new (Dated Aug 19).. Might change the kernel behaviour a bit.. Did you do a full wipe using Flashtool ?? I'm considering on flashing it but I don't want to lose my data.. Is it okay if I don't wipe all data ??
P/S: The last time I use Flashtool was when I was using my Xperia Z.. I'm forgetting how it works..

I didn't do a full wipe, I left data intact, but it should work just fine either way. Its working perfectly well, it seems slightly smoother but that might just be me and cpuz is now saying 3 cores are disabled as opposed to it saying 2 were disabled on the previous firmware (dont know if this is just cpuz tho). The dialler appears to be a slightly different design is all that I have come across so far. It appears to be getting rolled out to everyone too. Theres a lot more customisations that have it available today. Make sure you have the latest version of flashtool too. Install that, click on the xperifirm button and it will show you all the customisation versions available in there once you go to your phone version. Click the one you want to download. If you have it set to unpack the download once its finished, you just need to go to Tools -> Bundles -> Create and move everything over to the right in that (not sure if you can move the .ta ones, i didnt but dont know if thats ok in flashtool now). Once thats done, just click the flash button and it should walk you thru it. You will need USB debugging enabled and the usual drivers installed etc too

The update is being pushed out via PC companion everywhere it seems so no need for Xperifirmware if you are in one of the regions that has it pushed out(see Xperifirmware)

I'm on a Mac, is the Bridge For Mac basically the same thing? (In the UK too, not one of the regions mentioned ... guess I'll wait either way!)

It essentially does the same thing I think, yes. Haven't used it myself. UK ones aren't released as yet, but I would expect them to begin appearing over the next few days normally.

It does seem like my z3+ is more smooth after the upgrade. Of course that is a subjective thing but I'm pleased.

What I'm asking is what carrier are you using your device on and if the device is branded by a different carrier. Most times flashed devices won't be officially supported by another carrier flashed devices are different from unlocked devices as some flashing requires a "donor phone" for an IMEI and this can be problematic for data etc.

Post this thread under Galaxy S4 Forum and I promise you vill get help... It´s not that hard
There you can get help to flash back the stock firmware for your phone and to get everything to work again. Thankfully the Samsung phones are quite easy to restore.
Probably you will get help to get the right IMEI too... unless there´s something else behind the fact that it differs from the label. Perhaps a new motherboard on the phone after a repair?
Still... post it in the right forum and I promise you will get help

i'm really confused

Lets suppose they changer the motherboard ....So why do i still get an imei that starts with 4457.......... IN the status
and the one under the battery starts with 35...........

Strange... I agree...
However... if you restore to Stock firmware via ODIN the you will probably be ok.
Again... take a look at the S4 Forum, you will se that you are not the only one with this problem. So your motherboard is probably the original one, the flashed firmware is probably at fault.
When you flash firmware for ANY phone, stock or modified, it´s very important to get the right firmware for the right model, or a fimware that is tested for your phone. If you want totally stock it´s very important that you get the carrierversion of the firmware (for example Verizon or At & T)
Stock firmwares can be found at Sammobile.com. There you can also find the tool you use to flash it... it´s called ODIN. Very easy to use if you make sure you follow the instructions and have the correct drivers installed on the PC

Stock Firmware for SM-935A (AT&T) ***UPDATED 7-8-2016***

For those of you wanting the recovery file for AT&T either because your phone has stopped working while rooting or just to keep yourself covered, here you go. Credit to @br3w3r as he spent a lot of time last night helping me get this done when my phone stopped working.
YOU MUST USE THE ODIN FILE LINKED HERE. ANY OTHER WILL NOT WORK.
Trying to use any other will result in a model mismatch failure.
Download the June firmware here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24572369242688242
Necessary version of Odin - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24572369242688248
Credit to @Venom0642 for the updated links!
Standard process. Open Odin, put your phone in download mode, select the firmware as AP, hit start and let Odin do it’s thing. Saved my bacon when I got stuck with an issue last night.

very much appreciated, i couldnt update due to being on a different carrier then at&t. Im still on the original firmware when the phone came out.

Yeah, my bank isn't fond of these types of payment methods either. And honestly, pulling out my phone is no easier than pulling out my wallet. And my wallet won't shatter if I drop it fumbling around. Either way, same amount of steps. It's a cool novelty but that's about it (to me personally). But if anyone does test it, I'll definitely update the post to say definitively one way or the other for those who love Samsung Pay.

I would wait for someone to post one specific to the 930A. This is for the 935A and as far as I know they're not interchangeable. So I would wait for a post on the 930A (which I'll do if I find firmware for one and someone verifies it works), or wait for someone to verify this worked on theirs.

Please do upload the newest for the 930A if you find someone able to help you obtain it.
Like the other person, I am on a different carrier and still on the release firmware due to AT&T not sending the OTA out unless you have an AT&T SIM.

I think he means after flashing back to this firmware. I have seen other users posting that it seems to result in Samsung Pay working but haven't seen anyone claiming to have actually used it. I'll update the OP once someone states they got it to function at a store after flashing back to stock.
So far, having root for certain disables it unless @sy7hf7tgtgrf found a method that no one else has yet.

Haven't tested at a store yet but will try to soon. I am on the stock firmware you uploaded so no root here.
I've noticed that somethings aren't fully working correctly though.
A lot of AT&T's modifications seem to be missing.
For one I can't really setup my Visual Voicemail now, and some sections in device settings are a bit different.
Pretty sure all is fine though.

It actually had the opposite effect for me funnily enough on VVM. I never was able to get it working after buying the phone and it was a pleasant surprise to find it working on this firmware. It had always given me an error about contacting AT&T because it seemed my plan didn't support it (though it did). Never followed up though as I very rarely use the phone for calls. Also was happy to see a toggle for LTE was added instead of having to dig in the settings to turn it on or off! All the stock AT&T apps seem to be there for me, though I'm not sure on the modifications. It's noticeably faster in Geekbench than it was the day I bought it, which leads me to believe maybe this is indeed stock, but before AT&T messed with it much. I hope you can get VVM working. But do keep us posted on the results of Samsung Pay in store!
