Hello, i see a lot of developing for other roms out there, and we just received root the week before last, I managed to install a dual custom recovery (cwm, twrp) and it works fine, but there isn't a ROM to change to or flash.
when i see other models have locked bootloaders and use custom roms, is there any way we could make an aosp rom without cyanogenmod, (i prefer aosp roms without the tweaks and bugs), a stock rom would be fine as well, cheers

The same happened for the Tmobile USA Sony xperia z1s. We had root but a locked bootloader. There were a few devs who were trying to build a rom from scratch but became difficult of a task due to locked BL and no access to the kernel so it was abandoned. Im sure the same will happen to this. Only roms i expect to see are custom stock roms based on the stock rom.

So a couple of months ago you had root on the T-Mobile z3 and used a custom recovery to flash a different firmware? Or did you use flashtool?
When I get my z3 back I am going to simply try it, but because it worked out with my TL doesn't mean it will work with my Z3

At the time root was not working on the d6616 so that was not possible. It might be now but I have not tried.

I am afraid to try to flash, if you can, please try it we will be glad this work.
I tried last week and I bricked my phone. Took me a few hrs to recover it but it's fine now. Restored back to stock.
Any new ideas???
Now that 5.1.1 is out are there new hopes?

I try to flash a different country Firmware(4.2.2) through odin3. but it did't work.I know your phone can do this.....:crying: I just want to know why? Is it because my phone's bootloader is locked?
Many friends of mine are also want to flash cm 11....but we can only use cm10.1......:crying:
Baseband:
I9105pzcami1
Andriod vertion:
4.1.2
PLZZ help me and my friends....
(PS:sorry for my bad English)
Have you tried flash cm 11 directly from 4.1 bootloader??,may it works most dev write on their op to use 4.2 bootloader, but none tried and tell us may it works too with 4.1bootloader
Edit#
Or you mayvtry this cm10.1 build from @LuK1337 which stabler and more fluid, say thanks to him

You should only flash "PDA" and not have the "Re-partition" option ticked. For flashing official firmware, follow the guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2428753
Also, flashing Note2 firmware on an S2 Plus is probably not a very good idea.

oh ,I‘m so sorry,I think my poor English makes you misunderstood,the screenshot isn't of mine...I mean my case is just similar to the picture,I'm sure I flashed a s2vep rom..I tried just flash PDA too...I think it is because my phone's bootloader is locked that what makes the failure..:crying:
I have tried many many methods according to the internet....someone said that I should use mobile odin pro app,but this app won't work in s2vep...I almost feel desperate about this ,I think it's time to buy a new phone...
PS:I can successfully flash an offical 4.1.2 rom...
It's impossible...download 4.2 official stock firmware...use the link given by AmoledIsBetter, follow steps, make sure u use the right firmware for ur phone (P version or no P version), and if something goes wrong come here with screenshots from ODIN. If all its OK u can flash CM11 easy...
Never heard of a locked bootloader on a S2 Plus.
Silly question maybe, but are you using the correct Samsung USB drivers for your PC? Did you flash CM 10.1 from the same PC previously?
Which 4.2.2 file are you trying to flash? I know that many have flashed I9105PXXUBNG1 from Germany.
Is your device genuine Samsung?
I think you are still factory locked. (Still locked to a carrier)
Something I read in a thread in past couple of days is that if it's a Chinese handset they can have their own drivers, so search for them, rest of the world drivers may only part work.

Hi guys, I'm searching for a stock 4.4.4 rom or a closer to stock one, can you provide me with a link if its available?
And if not, can I flash a custom rom like BinDroid and remove some of the customization??
thanks a lot

The phone hasn't been updated to 4.4.4 and will not be. The closest you can get not is the stock 4.4.2 which the phone already runs. Or wait for the Lollipop update.
okay and what about removing the themes and costomizations from BinDroid ROM?

I'm really not sure about the process as I'm sticking to being unrooted for the time being. You should rather ask the developer of the BinDroid ROM about your queries regarding his ROM. I'm pretty sure he'll help you out.
And yes, I suppose you can root the device without flashing custom ROM.

Why can't we flash the D6603 pre-rooted XZDR 5.1.1 Rom on a rooted/recovery D6616? I thought the only thing stopping us before was that we did not have root or a custom recovery on the 6616, so we could not do it without losing DRM keys. Has that changed or not?
Because bricking your phone isn't fun
Right, I understand that there are risks involved. What I am trying to understand is what in particular creates those risks. Could you explain a little further why flashing a D6603 zip would brick the D6616?
I am curious about this as well.
I just recently got my Z3, which I had to unlock since I use AT&T. I now want to root and put 5.1 on it, but it seems like the T-Mobile one is so locked down. As far as I know about DRM keys I don't really care about them since I am not planning on using any Sony software (except maybe the camera software) If I could just put 5.1 on it, with a camera app that shoots RAW I would be happy.
What version do you have? We have root for the D6616 but that won't help us get 5.1 from what I can see. Best bet is to get the D6603 if that is what is most important to you.

I have the D6616.... I guess I don't care so much about 5.1 as I do getting the best battery life possible. But it looks like custom roms are not available since the boatloader is locked?

That's correct - we're limited to modifications of stock. But that makes me wonder why 5.1.1 wouldn't work.

I've been looking for a 5.1.1 for the D6616..... Prerooted.... No one has this yet? I am on 4.4.4 stock rooted ROM, and I have a flashable 5.0.1, but I see no reason to not want 5.1.1, so why do you say root on 5.1.1 isn't doable?

It's not root that's not doable. There exist 5.1.1 prerooted zips for D6603. The issue is that 5.1.1 for the D6616 has not been released yet, hence it has not not been rooted.

Hello everyone! Seems we're going to get root soon on locked bootloader in lollipop, so we can backup the TA partition before unlocking. The question is, can we downgrade from MM to LP without unlocking the bootloader?
You know how google, do you? You can, download the Firmware and flash it via Flashtool.

Yes, I did google. Saw a couple of post about the Z5P, but I'm comming from motorola and they are a little bit special when it comes to downgrade, because of the bootloader. So I want to be sure because I have almost zero exprecience with sony.
Anyway, no need to be rude. Thanks!
You can downgrade with no problems bootloader locked or not as the above poster said flashtool and xperifirm is your friend. I don't have access to links atm

I'm new to this forum so please forgive me. When I bought my Z5 from Vodafone UK, it was running Lollipop 5.1.1 and ran all the apps I wanted flawlessly. Since the update to Marshmallow, ACR and NetVu ObserVer now do not, the developer of ACR cannot work around this so I need to back date the firmware. I have downloaded XperiFirm and Flashtool but can only find 32.0.A.6.200 for EE. I would have preferred the stock Vodafone firmware, but will the EE one do?
any firmware will do as long as those apps work. some branded firmwares have differnt splash screens. thats pretty much the only difference
Thanks for your reply, I'm not bothered about any splash screen but something I noticed is a file named simlock. As EE lock their phones to their network only I take it this file needs omitting?
Regards, John.
Hey everyone,
I'm curious if anyone knows what the latest Android version of any ROM is for the D6616. Note that I am specifically looking for this tmo version of the Xperia Z3, D6616. I see plenty of ROMs for the other D66xx variants but not much for the T-Mobile D6616.
I'm pretty much stuck on the stock ROM that Serophia devised, which is a good rooted 5.0.2 upgrade ROM from the stock JB ROM, but it would be nice to at least get to MM.
Much appreciated everyone.
-Johnathan
@johnathanamber did you try checking xperifirm to see what was the latest Rom it shows against D6616?
The latest official ROM is the one in on but with a security update.
I was wanting to know if there was a custom ROM with good functionality that I could use to replace the official ROM but be on MM, etc. Something later than 5.0.2.
Much appreciate the reply though.

nop, I on 5.0.2 too, there's no custom rom support for this Z3 variant, not that I really care about cuz is working just fine with stock rom
@chrustoph34,
Definitely agree that the current stock ROM is sufficient and works fine. I'm more concerned about the security updates that MM provides.
