Hi all, first off, I just bought a sony xperia z off ebay... second hand... and locked on the 3 network!!.
I am wanting to install a custom ROM and unlock the phone... both network and the boot loader?... I would like to wipe the phone clean and start afresh as it has come with lots of unwanted apps and other rubbish!.
Would anyone be kind enough to suggest a good custom ROM and/or a guide to do this?... I am totally new to Android having used iphones all my life so I haven't the faintest idea on how to do this...
I also don't have a PC. so it will have to be done via MAC... The phone model is a C6603 and its running Android version 4.2.2.
Hoping someone can help and any advice would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
Will

If you want to unlock the bootloader you might be out of luck as carrier handsets are usually locked down in terms of the BL, for anything else see the stickys.
My device is on bootloop after the OTA failed, please suggest what to do ? As a new device, there's no stock ruu available for this.

I don't kow this forum is for g plus or not, but there is no separate one on xda..
Man this is an awesome phone but i believe its too new to start doing things like rooting and that stuff.. been trying to root mine (d626x) but had no luck.. In your case, i dont really know what to do, but HtcDev provides, "I dont know if the stock rom or a stock kernel" maybe that could help...

A Possible Approach To Fix The Problem
Here's what we can do since HTC Support seems to be unwilling to assist users who face these problems due to failed OTA updates.
1. We get someone with a working HTC Desire 626G+ to make a backup of their current System Image using ROM Manager.
2. Get them to upload it and share the link to a free download service like Dropbox or MediaFire.
Because it's now appearing that the worst phone to own right now would be a HTC since they have absolutely ZERO support for OTA update failures on their website.
This is what I'm trying to do. If I'm successful I'll share a download link. :fingers-crossed:

626G+ Original ROM
Dear Friends, I've an HTC 626G+ dual sim with the original European stock ROM, the only one problem is that the touch screen display is broken (LCD is working well).
Please try to explain me how to made an image of the rom, and this night I will share with you on dropbox or Onedrive cloud.
I've on another new 626G+ phone, the same problem after OTA update, continuous reboot on Recovery and can't findany way to restore it.
Will any one help me out!!!
Hello Guys, I am using HTC Desire 626G+,rooted (kingroot) the system and attempted to update the rom, forgetting OTA conflicts.Now I am stucked at NO COMMAND error and then i found a solution from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/…/fix-htc-desire-626g-updat…
While using SP Flash Tools my mobile is not dected due to I turned off usb debugging..
So is there is any way to enable usb debugging??
Hi,
i had the same problem:
Flash the device with the orginal ROM from: The scatter file is included.
http://www.easy-firmware.com/index.php?a=browse&b=category&id=682
Take care to install the right USB driver. MT65xx Preloader. You have to disable Windows driver signature check if you have Win 8 or 10.
Search in google to do this. Afterwars, Sp-Tools will detect your drive if you install the usb drivers manually. If you don't find the driver, tell me i can give you a working copy.
For the next time, search for a twrp recovery.img. Flash it after you have restored your orginal system. Then, download supersu and install it using twrp instead of kingroot. Tell me if you need a copy.
Kind regards,
Sascha

HI Sascha...I need password for this Rar/Zip Data!? U know this???
Hi. I am in the UK and have the first gen moto x. i was dicking around with roms etc and i ended up accidentally erasing internal storage. I managed to the get the phone back to how it was apart from the fact that it cannot make calls, text, get 3g signal. it is essentially a small tablet. when i use the dialler code to show the imei number it is 0. i tried reinstalling modems etc and none have worked. i have tried differnet roms and even flashing lollipop. I am wondering if the modems files i am using are not working because they are US files and I need some kind of EU file? Idk.
I had my imei written down so i was going to try and change it to that on the phone but engineer tools does not open or even seem to exist on the phone. i cant try using the stock rom etc because it is on a site (something like sbf developers ) that says it is forbidden. i literally have tried everything. can anyone help? :crying:

Hey! If you've installed a US ROM, you are using the wrong baseband files to access your service provider network ( XT1053- US ; XT1052- UK)
Try installing an XT1052 based rom and report back . Also, be careful while flashing your new chosen ROM. Ensure that it does not downgrade / modify your current bootloader as you may end up bricking your phone (since you've upgraded to LP)
Best of luck mate .

Strange . Do elaborate as to what rom you are flashing and which rom you are currently using (The one that has a problem).
Also, are you wiping the system before flashing ?

Hi again. i googled xt1052 rom and found a few. the one i tried was cyanhacker(obviously based on cm). after i got that error i tried editing the updater script to skip over the process in which it checks what device it is on. after that it appeared to flash successfully but when i tried to boot it showed the bootloader unlocked screen, vibrated then restarted and just kept doing that bootloop.

1. Please download the correct ROM for your device from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/official-collection-firmwares-fxz-sbf-t3146628
2. Head over here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/guide-moto-x-return-to-100-stock-using-t2446515 and follow the Instructions. CAUTION: If you decide yourself for manual flashing DO NOT PASTE THIS CODE:
Code:
fastboot oem config carrier vzw
Or you'll end up, like me: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/moto-x-qa/carrier-retail-devices-t3174988
In case I could help you with some guidance, I would be happy, if you could help me, in my thread.
//EDIT: Your battery should be on 70% or more, before you try to do anything! Keep this in mind, else flashing could be interrupted!
Kind regards

Hi all,
First post so please be gentle . I am currently on 5.1 on my 2nd gen device. For some reason I haven't received the MM update over the air. I was wondering if I really need to install a custom ROM at all? I am in the UK and my model is lpe23.32-25.3. Added a a screenshot to be slightly more helpful.
I got the update some time ago. Can you confirm it is an xt1092, and the system version?
Moto X Update
Indeed. Noob problems but I cant seem to be able to attach an image to this reply.
I can't post the screenshot either since I am a new user but yes the model is XT1092 and system version 23.16.3.victara_retgb.retgball.en.GB retde
Ok, if the system version is as you say there's a slight mismatch between GB and de at the end. Did you buy it second hand? Check in the fastboot to see if it's been unlocked (there are guides in the general forum). Have you tried to factory reset and see if the update cones through that way?
I sent it off to repair the screen and there was a issue with the device. Long story short Motorola messed up when returning the device and rather then send me the correct one they provided me with someone else's phone. I shall try the factory reset but I suspect that the bootloader has been modified leaving me with no option but to install the OTA myself? Or do I have any other option?
Hey guys,
Any chance I would be able to do this over the air? Planning on flashing the phone tomorrow and just do the installation that way
I think you need to read all the flashing guides and have a good idea of using fastboot, if you don't already.
Hi all,
i've tried to unbrand my P9-Lite changing it's OEMInfos and custom .bin and flashing the lastest stock rom in order to obtain the un branded firmware.
What happened?
After the package upgrade the phone is stuck completely on a black screen , fastboot is reachable and i cannot do anything could you please help me?
I can't enter in recovey...nothing! only fastboot and this beautiful totally black screen (screen-off)
Thanks in advance
I have the same problem here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p9lite/help/bricked-p9-lite-vns-l31-attempting-b130-t3546430
Were you able to make any progress?
Hi there, I have good news, since I managed to reflash my phone reading through this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/hu...-lite-crashed-black-screen-bip-green-t3485836
You have to download and use DC-Phoenix to flash a stock firmware to the phone.
The bad part is that it is a paid service that will cost you 15€... but for me it was worth it in comparison with having a dead phone.
I wonder why no one has come up with a free equivalent to DC-Phoenix yet?
