Thinking of buying the phone but I want to make sure I can do everything I want to on it. Also did that marshmallow update come out yet, I heard it is set for October but that might just be the Japanese version. Thanks.
I have been able to root this device with Kingroot but haven't found any custom recoveries yet. It's a good phone! I like it a lot. Very well built and good everything, a lot like a high end Sony but better made. Has a setting for unlocking the bootloader but I don't know if this actually does anything.

Any update on getting recovery / twrp or anything for it?

Hi Guys,
By no means a new user of phones or to the rooting/rom process but am I missing something on this forum? Where are all the Android Development Rom's for this device, like eXistenZ and Monx's. Did they just not update to this device so there's no support?
And god can someone please tell me how to change the resolution on this device. I cant stand the 800 x 600 look.
About roms, you have to ask developers directly. And about resolution, that's probably just your feeling, I'm happy with It.

Awesome, That's exactly what i needed to know. One more question if you don't mind.
Im sitting on firmware 23.0.1.A.5.77 and too my knowledge that can't be rooted without an unlocked boot. But if i do unlock it ill lose DRM (Cant backup TA without root?) etc etc. which I want to avoid. Is that right? So until they bring out a LB root for .77 ill have to wait to install the xperia module.

So, I've had a lot of fun with this..
Long story short, I'm running windows 8 so i had to find a way around the ADB drivers for flash tool to recognize my phone. I eventually found a work around, Installed the drivers for my phone. And now my PC won't recognize the phone at all. Its got me stumped. I've uninstalled all drivers and tried re-installing the Sony original and nothing. I've tried re-installed all of the PC companion and drivers from flashtool and every possible work around other then a factory restart. The PC does connect via wireless, just not via USB. It doesn't charge at all as well.
Got any ideas?
Hmm I'm not sure if run win 7 still ask in the giefroot forum about win 8
Do you have adb enabled? Allow mock locations and unknown sources? And when you installed drivers did you use the ones in flashtool?

Just give you an update dude it all worked flawlessly after some troubleshooting. Once again thank you man!
I would post a screenshot but for some reason that's the only thing i can't do. Tried resetting permission's/deleting the pictures folder but i dunno haha. Nothing major
Awesome good to hear.glad I could help you out. Looks way better this way I hate the low resolution look.
That's strange
At least it works
Used this rom forever until recently flashing some new Lollipop roms to play around with. Ended up not really liking the new roms, and wanted to restore back to Mahdi. Unfortunately, I was a complete idiot and didn't make a backup. The Mahdi thread is cclosed, and the downloads no longer work. Anyone out there able to help me out? Thank you!
You cannot flash because you are now on lollipop baseband and boot loader. Try kdz back to 20 g...... May have to go back further than that.... As far as download links i don't know i have the required files backed up on my computer

Thanks for the reply. I'm now back on 20g, so if someone still has the downloads on their cpu (rom and d801 patch) then I'd be good to go.

I flashed official ROM without rooted, but the FM radio apk does not work. I'll be very grateful if somebody provide a FM radio apk suitable Android 6.0.
Check this thread at around post #17.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...lose-fm-radio-verizon-m8-marshmallow-t3333119
IIRC at least one of the radios DID work for me. It's been awhile and I remember having more than 1 so I don't know what the magical combination was. Anyhow, check that thread.

You may need that app if it's not the same as the one you have. On my Verizon One M8 the app would install but it would not start FM.
However...
Just 2 posts before that, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=65945872&postcount=15, you have to flash that zip. I did so in TWRP recovery. Using that combination got it working on my phone. However, if you're not rooted, I don't know what to tell you.

Though I have not tried yet, you can try flashing a custom recovery temporarily and then flash a supersu zip . But always keep a safety way back to flash your stock rom back.
Custom room is not yet available for this device... And the stock recovery doesn't read storage...

Sorry I meant a custom recovery as no rom is available as of now. You can create a custom recovery with some recovery-maker like carliv, philz, twrp etc. But with same precautions.
OK thanks mate... I will try to make recovery now. Because I want my device rooted asap. Can I flash supersu zip through my stock recovery??

No. You have to flash it via flashing apps available in playstore e.g flashify etc. But as I mentioned you should have the back up method as many times the phone can get stuck in boot. It is called soft brick. So find out how to flash the stock rom back, drivers,etc.

Congrats friend. Post the method in our thread. It will help every one.
I have not found any custom Rom for it. Of course recovery can be created using Philz, TWRP and other methods.
Custom rom will have to be created by porting different roms. It is a tedious job and needs a standby mobile

Like I said I've not tried it out yet. There is one Stock rom at needrom.com also. There is a risk factor which we have to take.
Twrp is the next step. The twrp set up is automatic. Once your device is rooted the set up uses adb and creates a twrp recovery and flashes it. Later you can get the recovery file by adb methods .

These root methods work in some cases. After lollipop, it became difficult.
I can't give you any specific time , but I will do it once I have a standby mobile. So, just hope it happens soon.

There's absolutely no way of fixing your semi brick. There's no unbrick tool available, and Nubia won't fix it because you unlocked the bootloader. So I warn EVERYONE,to stay away from rm3s if you plan on root. I currently have a non booting rm3s, that is 3 days old. It's a very expensive paperweight.
I am root successful 100%
Omg he doesn't stop.
2 RM3's and they are rooted. No problems at all. Then I seen this and no way of fixing it! Oh man....oh wait there is.

LMFAO!!! Your so full of sht! You blocked out the file names. You are using the rawprogram file and patch file from the rm3. You dont have the proper files for the rm3s. Stop trolling. Those files are ONLY available from the raw rom, which NO ONE has right now. Well, Jerry i am sure does.

Hi friend! I also had the same oak with my rm3s but further investigating I could revive it, download this file from this link that I left here below, only the problem is that it is only for the rm3 version but it still served me now I'm trying to see how pass it to the rom of the rm3s
You need to put your rm3s in boot to edload mode and once you start the program you will get an error but ignore it and in a few minutes your rm3s will restart to configure the rom
