After I push my music files from PC to phone, I got this happening:
(Title is song's name from walkman)
My walkman got these problem at my music title's name. Here's the issue at below images:
Symbol problem:
The problem is * symbol, normally is '
And chinese/japan songs:
All Chinese/Japan song's title become some random Chinese words.
Those above are walkman/framework issue, does anyone facing this issue also? And can anyone help me fix this happening?:crying:
If someone can help me I will give him thanks point!
P.S.: Maybe this is framework problem, I tried on my friend's pc (he using windows vista) also got same issue.
Are you pushing it via pc companion media menu? Sometimes you need to install language pack on xp to properly write the song name in both id3v1 and id3v2. Use winamp to check it, including chinese/japanese songs.

Current problem:
Cant get past installing flash drivers in xp.

Ok, is it w7? Try to turn off every mtp app (wmp12, winamp, itunes etc) and transfer those songs normally via Computer MTP. And recheck both id3v1 and id3v2 using winamp.

He say he have Windows XP not win7. As I can see it's themed xp to win7,try to transfer sd card with memory stick and put in hole on pc or on printer,because through usb cable they are some problems. Second way is to manualy rename sound through walkman app on phone

I didn't active any player such as winamp, or what on my pc... I also connecting with MTP mode.
Maybe this is framework problem. :crying:
Not the framework. Maybe its just some weird tagging issue. If not, you could always re-tag every song using the phone.
Edit: vista and 7? These two didnt play nice with chinese and japanese words correctly in the tags, somehow corrupting the tags, unless you make the song read only.

Hi guys.
Today I downloaded and installed Flashtool (0.9.19.10). I then browsed to C:/Flashtool and here there is no Firmware folder, therefore I cannot add the FTF for flashing. All I see is:
customer (folder)
drivers (folder)
x10flasher_lib (folder)
FlashTool
FlashTool64
stdout
uninstall
x10flasher
Where is the Firmware folder? Am I missing something? Could my Anti-Virus be deleting the Firmware folder?
I see a link for Patch (0.9.19.10). Do I need to install this patch? If so, how do I install it?
I need to downgrade my current firmware build, so that I can root my Sony Xperia Z3, in order to enable USB ports, amongst other tweaks I want to do.
Apologies if my question has been asked, however I have searched the net, and could not find an answer.
Also, I have read that there may be driver issues, once I get passed this current problem. Therefore, I am pre-empting by asking for instructions on how to install the correct drivers for Sony Xperia Z3.
Phone: Sony Xperia Z3
PC: HP Elitebook 6930p
Operating System: Windows 10
Your advice is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

1. Yes you have to copy/ replace the old firmware (x10flasher_lib) with Patch (0.9.19.10)
2 The firmware folder is in C:/users/"comp. name"/.flash tool/firmwares----- the ftf file is to be placed there.
3 Good news: you don't have to downgrade now, the latest (NewKingrootV4.80) will root the phone in lollipop 5.1.1 (tried and tested).

Kingoroot also copies and sends your imei number to somewhere in China.
Thanks guys for your valuable advice.
Ideally, I would like to use the NewKingRoot application method. However, this leads to the obvious question - What is the safest way to root my device, Downgrading firmware with Flashtool or using NewKingroot application?
Are there any other 'safe' root applications that can be used for Sony Xperia Z3?
Appreciate your help guys.

Your best bet is to go to kitkat, use giefroot rooting tool, use xz dual recovery tool, then flash a Rom with root and recovery or create a pre rooted ftf with Flashtool/xperifirm. Theres tons of guides around to help you.
Brilliant.
Thanks guys for your advice.
Will be looking at KitKat and Giefroot, although Kingroot is tempting.
A noob question - "What is the purpose of the xz dual recovery tool?"
I was under the impression that all that was needed is the rooted firmware flashed using flashtool.
Are these the steps i need to follow: (please correct me if i am wrong)
Download a rootable firmware D6603_23.0.A.2.93
Flash this firmware using Flashtool
Run Giefroot to root my Xperia Z3
Cheers.

You cannot flash a rooted firmware with flashtool..
The recovery is what you use to flash pre-rooted firmwares in the form a .zip file.
Before you use kingroot you should do your research. During the process it will send your IMEI number to an ip address in china.
I suggest flashing a KK FTF with flashtool, root using giefroot, install recovery then flash any pre-rooted firmware you want in recovery.

All links are in the post below, but you cant use androplus kernel unless you have an unlocked bootloader.

Really appreciate the info and links guys.
Unfortunately I am not able to get past the driver Flashtool driver installation.
I select Flashmode Drivers, Fastboot Driver and Xperia Z3 Device Driver, then select install.
I then get the red ticks next to Sony Net, Google Inc, Sony Ericsson.
Bear in mind, my PC is on Windows 10. Is Windows 10 supported for Flashtool? Do I have to deactivate something in Win10, like in Win8?
This is so frustrating!
Please help!

That should fix it. Feel free to hit the thanks button under helpful posts.
Really appreciate all the help you guys have provided so far.
Now I've got a new problem.
All I am trying to do is enable to HS-USB ports (diag, serial, modem) on the Windows 10 machine, so that I can ADB into my Sony Xperia Z3.
Device Manager is displaying exclamation marks next to several entries of D6603 (see attached screenshot).
So guys this is what I have done so far:
I downloaded the Z3 drivers from http://developer.sonymobile.com/downloads/drivers/xperia-z3-driver/
In Device Manager I right clicked on the first D6603 entry and pointed to the Z3 drivers and tried to install the driver but it is not recognised? This happens with the other D6603 entries too. I know I am doing something stupidly wrong here.
Where do I go from here? This is really frustrating.
I also installed Sony PC Companion but that has not helped.
Once again, I am asking for any help to fix this seemingly simple (difficult for me) task.
Thanks in advance.
Hi guys.
This is so frustrating.
I have stumbled across another problem. On Windows 10 device manager, I can see several entries of D6603 each with an exclamation mark. I guess this is because of Z3 (D6603) drivers?? Well, I downloaded Z3 drivers from the Sony developers site, however the drivers are not recognised??
I need to activate the HS-USB ports so that I can ADB. Am I using the correct drivers?
Does anyone know, how I can overcome this please?
Also, is there a particular place win Windows, where you have to extract the Z3 drivers to, like System32?
After reading on the net, I may have to do the following:
adb devices
adb shell
su
/system/bin/port-bridge /dev/smd0 /dev/ttyGS0 & setprop persist.usb.eng 1
And this should start the automatic usb driver installation on Windows?? Can anyone confirm this is the correct procedure?
Thanks in advance.
I too am running Windows 10. You have to go into recovery - advanced - startup and select "disable signed driver check" (or something like that) then you can install drivers etc.
The firmware folder is now under (users - username - flashtool)
If you use xperifirm the ftf file creations will automatically go to the right location

Hi gwithrow.
Thanks for your advice.
I went into recovery on my pc and selected "Disable signed driver.........", However, still when I connect my Xperia Z3, there is no automatic driver prompt or installation??
So I decided to start again today:
Downloaded and flashed firmware version 23.0.A.2.93 for D6603.
Ticked the following - USB debugging, Allow mock locations and Unknown sources.
Unticked Verify apps.
Downloaded giefroot tool v3.1.
Rooted Xperia Z3 successfully.
Downloaded ES file explorer and mount /system rw successfully.
Downloaded z3 Dualrecovery and installed ndr utils successfully, Xperia Z3 rebooted to twrp.
(Should I upgrade now to D6603_23.4.A.1.200_Generic-UK_dualrecovery2.8.21_SuperSU-v2.46.zip and install with twrp?)
Using USB cable, I connected Xperia Z3 to my pc and still no driver prompt or automatic installation??
All I want to do is activate the HS-USB Android Diag/Serial ports.
Is there another way to do this??
Am I missing something?
I downloaded the drivers from the Sony and Google sites. However, the drivers are of no use if the PC does not prompt for them!
Any help would be appreciated.
I'm a Z1 user about to buy a Z5. Today I've built a new PC & when i went to install PC Companion from the Z1 or download it says I need to update it before using & then crashes. I've since worked out that Sony has released Xperia Companion but that doesn't appear to have all the features that PC Companion had, especially contacts / calendar sync. No sync, whats the use.
Someone help a bloke out URGENTLY.

Sorry, i didn't make my point properly. Sony have removed the back end support for PC Companion so when the old version goes to ping the server & grab the updates that server no longer exists & thats why the whole thing keels over. Sony has screwed us. And I cannot find a newer version than 2.10.259 anywhere online. Stuffed if i can even work out what the latest version was, before Sony took it all down & brought out Xperia Companion, which is really only a software updater / backup client.
why dont you use your email account to backup calendar and contacts?

Like @spaha-bih says, use your Google email account.
To elaborate: Sync your Z1 email account with G-Drive, when setting up your new Z5 say yes to transfer data from old device and follow instructions.
It doesnt solve your issue with PC Companion vs Xperia Companion but at least all your data is transfered.
