Hello readers, I want to upgrade my Sony Z3 Compact which Its running 4.4.4 and has been rooted. It hasn't been played with since and I'm unsure where I start!
Is it possible to install a ClockworkMod or some type of boot loader that allows me to re-install different OS like the one on my old HTC Droid?
Also is there anything I have to be aware about when trying out different OS, like DRM's or unlocked or locked.
Thanks!

hi guys this is my first post and I need some help,
i bought a milestone second hand the other day from a CEX in my city. My question is that it has some Chinese firmware on it and I want it back to the factory stock firmware the device would of came with.
Can someone explain how I would go about this?
Device Info:
Firmware Version: Itfunz2.1_Eclipse_Terminator_II
Firmware Config Version: GAS_EMEA_USASHLS00WNDIT_P030
Baseband Version: 3GSMEPU91A_U_91.07.4EI

Build Number: Chinese_By _Martincz_Itfunz com
Any help would be much appreciated. Cheers
A factory reset would only reset you to the original state of that firmware - I'm pretty sure you will have to flash a new firmware - you can check threads here on how to do that. Its quite easy...
just flashed it to your favourite rom..
cyanogenmod is recommended..
you can flash official moto from here

or a custom one from xda

There is a thread about putting your phone back to stock...probably what you need.
Quick rundown for a return to official Mot rom:
1.Usb drivers for you os
2.Rsd lite (software from mot...google it)
3.Correct sbf for your country
An sbf is a file from motorola that includes an image of your entire phone (bootloader, firmware, baseband, etc).
Hope this helps

Geohots method is only for the i537 - not the i9295. The i9295 uses CF-Auto-root for the 9505, and then you end up with a rooted phone but a recovery you can't see because it uses the wrong screen drivers, so you either flash the stock recovery if you want to, or just flash the custom CWM recovery found in its own thread in the original android development subforum.
Instructions for how to use CF-Auto-root is apparently found here http://honai-android.blogspot.nl/2013/08/how-to-root-galaxy-s4-active-i9295-on.html
I can't find the thread I originally used when I rooted mine, which is weird, because I could have sworn it was stickied, but I guess something happened. Anyway it's not complicated, and not particularly risky. (Regular disclaimers apply).
Good luck!
If you want to try others methods to root your S4 Active, there is the software KingoRoot on PC to install : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2667886
I was using Android version 4.1.2. Some days ago I have upgraded to 4.3 officially (without odin). But I found that middle screen is narrow than top and bottom.
This is problem no.1. Problem2, discharged quickly. Problem3, RAM is used half of total (2gb) without any app running.
I trying to downgrade through some blog posts. I have downloaded I9305XXBMF1_I9305EVRBMF1_I9305BVBMF1_HOME_4.1.2.tar.md5. It is a EVR edition. But not working for me. Now am i am using I9305XXUEML5_I9305EVRGML3_I9305XXUEMK1_HOME_4.3.tar.md5 with odin 3.09.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 mini (SM G730A) locked to At&t and am trying to be able to use another carriers sim card in it. I read somewhere that if the phone was running Android 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 I could unlock by dialing a few numbers in my phone. Unfortunately, my version is running Android 4.2.2. Is there any way to take it back to 4.1.1 or 4.1.2? And if so where can I get it from?
I have read the rules and I sorry if these questions have already been answered, but I could not find them.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Sierra

Android 4.1.1 and Android 4.1.2 was only for the GT-I8190 (international model). For the SM-G730A (AT&T model) is Android 4.2.2 (maybe future Android 4.4.2) available only. From sammobile.com/firmware you can get offical signed firmwares from Samsung for your SGS3 mini model
