Is the Z3 affected by the Quadroot vulnerability ? - Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Dear Experts,
I like(d) the Z3 quite a lot and I was planning to buy it soon.
Just the Quadroot vulnerability makes me very concerned
about this purchase, as my current phone is not affected to it.
Could please somebody run the app on a Z3 and let us know all,
whether the phone is vulnerable:

Many thanks in advance!

Well, not a good result but not something I'll look at when deciding to buy a phone.

Every qualcomm devices are affected by quadroot.

Yes, I was thinking myself, that it shouldn't be a leading point, when buying the phone, but did you try to patch yours ?
I guess there should be a patch by now, but I didn't take my time for checking deeper into this...
Many thanks for your advice and comments!

it's time to get the attention of samsung #UnlockUSAGalaxyBootloaders

Many say that samsung never pays attention to this type of things and maybe it is true ... but if we all join together I say that we can call his attention. It is not fair that we are prevented from accessing our bootloaders since we are paying a lot of money for a phone and even then it is not ours 100% it seems very unfair to those who have Exynos if they are given all freedom, so we are going Let's make Samsung listen to us, use the hashtag and tag @SamsungmobileUS on twitter. Together we can do anything . #UnlockUSAGalaxyBootloaders

Omg. Not again.. do you know how many have asked this ?

GodoxPhoto adding features possible?

Would using apktool on an app like GodoxPhoto prove useful in the attempt to add other phones to the camera feature? Currently it is very limited, just a few Samsung / Hauwei devices.. I'm hoping someone has some experience with apktool. Or perhaps point me in the right direction if it's not the best place to start? I'm hoping I can just find (.xml) files for the current supported phones and add one for my own? Maybe some other devices as well? Then re-compile?
It's been so long since this app came out, devs haven't made much of an effort to update this area of the app. Any comments or suggestions welcome in this journey.
Kind regards

Help with "X20 PRO" Pirate

Hello community, I hope you are well, I have an issue with a pirate phone, has no mark anywhere, or on the plate, or the battery, anywhere, the phone has a housing with 3 cameras, but in reality the phone only has one, in short, with that introduction, I leave some attachments with information about the phone. I would like to change the operating system, any good, it happens that the one that brings the phone is mined of junk applications, advertising all the time, and applications of dubious reliability, the truth serves any system as long as you get rid of this, I have searched like crazy but I can not find anything about this phone, I wanted to install the same version that has but clean, but I do not know which method of flashing proceed, I hope your answer. Thanks in advance.

I was wondering is anyone can help me with this on updating my phone from where it is now cuz it's pretty much kind of useless now but I know it has so much more potential than that I've been doing a little bit of research about it I know some not much but if someone can help me and put me in the right direction how I can update everything manually or harder son it would be greatly appreciated
Updating means patching existing Android version, in your case Android 7.1.1.
Aahh... okay so what do I need to do exactly to update my phone to today's services....
OS updates typically get rolled out by OEM / Carrier if they deem it neccessary.

Is Wiko Life 3 System Update Legit?

The last few days my devices and wifi have been acting a little crazy. My Mac address on my router changed to 20:00:00:00, Imy phone was blocked from the wifi and multiple other strange occurances both with my hardware and on-line. To keep this from going on forever I'll leave it at that. I'm posting because as I was really noticing that something seemed off a system update came up on my screen and most likely because of the other strange things that happened I don't really trust this update. Can someone let me know it's Legit. I imagine it is but still would feel better having someone here tell me as much. I took a picture of it on my screen.. Thanks for allowing me to post here and I apologize if this comes across as crazy. Here's the picture.
