FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

Q1: How to install software in * .ftf format?
O1: Using the programFlashtool

Q2: Where can I see certification of official firmware?
O2: For model C5503 -herefor model C5502 -here.

Q3: How to check if the bootloader is unlocked or not?
O3: We dial in the phone * # * # 7378423 # * # * and go to Service mode, then Service info - Configuration and look at the bottom line:
Bootloader unlocked: Yes - this means that the bootloader is unlocked.
Bootloader unlock allowed: Yes - this means that the bootloader is locked. Can unlock.
Bootloader unlock allowed: No - The bootloader is not unlocked and cannot be unlocked.

Q4: How to check the availability of DRM keys?
O4: Service tests ->Security
The first three lines - Key OK.
In detail, with screenshots.

Q5: How can I customize the custom firmware created for other Xperia Z series devices to the screen resolution of the Xperia ZR?
O5: In the file build.prop we find the line ro.sf.lcd_density = (maybe 480 is written here). The value of this parameter (after the equality sign) is replaced by 320, we save the changes and restart the phone.

Q6: Having passed the software update / reinstallation, the device after the first few seconds gives the question as in the image below - "[POWER OFF] or [Use phone]". What it is?

Screenshot

A6: This is due to the fact that before (re-) installing the software, a data reset was requested and the device is now trying to set factory settings. For their full installation, you must select [POWER OFF], otherwise the request will be repeated after each reboot of the communicator and until [POWER OFF] is selected.

Q7: My bootloader is unlocked, there is no TA backup. How to recover Bravia, reduce noise when shooting?
O7:Flash this archive from the recovery.

Q8: While talking on the phone, randomly touching the ear on the display, the curtain spontaneously opens. How can this be avoided?
O8: To eliminate these troubles, it is recommended to use -fix proximity sensor.
Another way to fix the problem is to use the module.GravityboxforXposed Framework. In this module, you need to disable the option to open the curtains by pressing (open the "Status bar settings", then scroll to the bottom, and there put a tick "Off viewing"). Now she will not climb out during a conversation (it is much more difficult to pull out the curtain with your ear than to just press it).

Someone tried to keep the root in survival mode?

[sashock86]

There is Ultra Stamina!

[prior_ori]

I will express my IMHO about the firmware of the device with LTE, firmware from model 5502 without it.
when returning to native firmware, the so-called Trim Arrea is overwritten.

Where there is a bootloader, DRM keys, etc. If any error there creeps in or fails with the firmware, you can buy another phone. So all at your own risk.

Guys, I'm sorry. but did not understand much how to restore the stock (keys, etc.), I openrecovery of partition TAand it is written in red below * Attention: If you once unlocked the bootloader once, then this procedure will not help you anymore * I do not understand anything.

Once again for a special ... I have 4.4.4 .292 caste with an unlocked loader. my actions (TA-backup I have)? I want to flash through the drain.

You can link to Hong Kong 292, and then there is only 4.1.2 Hong Kong.)

It seems to be there, but I don’t know if I’ll put it on, tomorrow I’ll think better, thank you! _) If anyone puts Hong Kong, please write off whether there is any Chinese and how you got up.)

[artur6789]

Tell me please, do you need 292 firmware to install lollipop or is it possible with 283? 292 does not work through the air to update, writes that an error occurred. It is worth the drain 283 with the root, and some programs are removed.

It works for me and I do not see any bugs like yours. Updated over with Wipe?

kobe888,I tried to upgrade with the survival mode - the root was not preserved

[ksl07]

I understand that we do not receive a request from the superuser from the ADB with the firmware of the recovery. I'll try again, wait a little, it may pop up.
After all, the root appears, I edited the system files using ES

about 5503 - the firmware for the Hong Kong region allows you to upgrade to 5.0. in XperiaFirm number 1274-0031 HK. Download and update for those who do not want to wait)) so that for the version with LTE is a holiday))

prior_ori,
So after all, there was already information about it, but I still chew on it!
I have only one request when OTA is downloaded, then the recovery folder will appear in the internal memory and there will be the same bin file
You can use it)) I copied already for the C5502 and from you C5503

[angel495]

Good morning everyone! :)

ksl07 @ 05/21/2015, 09:04

After all, the root appears

How did you get the root?
KingRoot makes it, but it is sooo trimmed turns out. NDRUtils and Callrecorder rights are granted, but RootExplorer and other programs, such as SuperSU (cannot update the binary because there is no access to \ system \ bin), does not give!

[jimmi02]

During the night when stamina was on, 20% of the charge flew away. Unpleasant of course, but probably should be attributed to the "grinding" the firmware.
