Hello everyone. I've been using the stock firmware since i bought the phone but currently thinking to try cynogenmod.
What i want to ask is, does it worth to install CM as Sony's stock rom is pretty good both performance/battery consumption and UI wise, compared to many other phone like samsung which i never quite liked.
Will it improve the battery life which is sony has already done a good job on stock firmware and what other benefits will i get?
Thanks in advance.

no, seriously. send me the link.
What he is trying to say is that there is not yet any custom roms available for this phone, let alone any custom recovery, nor root.

Oh sorry now i see what you're trying to say. It seems i've opened the thread to the wrong section. My phone is z2.
I dont know though why cynogenmod team hasn't relased one for z3 and z3+.

Yes that will root your phone without losing be2 or DRM keys.
You don't need to unlock your bootloader

u will het official updates no prob. i believe only installing a custom kernel would stop u getting official updates. sumone please correct me if i'm wrong.

This is my understanding too. Bear in mind that as soon as official updates are released a developer here will make it available on xda. This means you often get updates before you would normally (because they are rolled out at different times depending on carrier and region).

also i saw lots of mods need deodexed rom, can i deodex my stock rom or do i have to flash another?
Once you install CWM, you can deodex your stock firmware without any problem :good:
No need to flash another ROM to do that.

Odexed roms work faster than deodexed. If you don't plan to modify your rom don't deodex it. Though there are many mods for odexed roms too.

The update is only for c5302 Sp models.... If you update your c5303 modern with .284 you will lose 4g connectivity but not much else.

Hey guys its beeeen ages since i thought about updating my phone its been on stock 10.4.B.0.569 for quite a while i came across an article on IBTimes website offering a download on supposedly a leaked rom from the ever wonderful doomlord.... im apprehensive about flashing this as i cant see any where on here that states 4.2.2 has been officialy released for the C6603
Really what im asking is my phones is running slow and just really needs a wipe/clean install
should i stick with the FTF ihave just now? or can i get an updated FTF? i dunno what the latest release is..
Thanks
Chris
4.4.2 or 4.2.2?

so sorry its 4.4.2
There is an unofficial release for testing. Probably better to wait for the official release which is coming in a few days time.
ok cheers
just out of curiosity is there a recent firmware i can get my hands on thats newer than 10.4.B.0.569
?
Thanks
Yes it is : 10.4.1.B.0.101.
You can use this rom : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43232717 which is based on latest firmware. This is really awesome :thumbup:

569 and 101 really have no differences. But you can search for a 101 ftf which is a completely stock unmodified ROM.

101 has a different kernel which uses a different gyro sensor. Thus you can't say that they have no difference =P.

To early for this... I have nothing build in from miui yet...
I have to do a Port First... This is only the Base for now but I think i change the Base to Sony Stock so we can maybe Flash Miui on Locked Bootloader :fingers-crossed:

Just wait for it. For now, you can use the miui launcher if you're not already using it.
The only downside I have too many apps xD

just want to ask if how is the procedure on upgrading TWRP? do i need to flash it thorugh odin? or can i just flash it using TWRP?
2.7.0 ----> 2.7.1
Edit:
how about baseband? is there any difference in changing it? currently im on DXAMJ1, does it have any difference on performance?
or battery saving?

You can flash the new version also via TWRP then you have to restart your recovery after update

Basebands here. The performance is not affected (I think), but the battery yes. In my case I use XANA2 instead ANC2 (newest one for I8190).

Hello!!!!!
I finally got the OTA update in my country so what do you think guys? I got some questions here:
1- I update my device or wait for the next version?
2- im now rooted with dual recovery. I know i will lose the dual recovery but if i checked the survival mode in superSU app do i keep the root after the update?
Now i running existenZ 6.6.0 based on stock Rom with stock kernel (maybe?) and locked bootloader!
3- do i brick my device if updated now if im running this rom?
Please answer fast bcz i cant wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!:silly:
Thanks
All the best!
The OTA will fail, because it checks that /system isn't modified before updating. That check will fail because you're using a custom rom.

As @kingvortex said the update will fail as the system has been modified.
you will have to manually flash the ftf
