Hello everyone,
I just received the z2 that I purchased a few weeks ago. It is the D6503 and it should be running 4.2.2. I am coming from the Galaxy line, so I am a little unfamiliar with the nuances of the Sony software. While I do not need to install a custom rom just yet, I am looking at rooting it and running lollipop on it. However, I do not want to lose the stability and ability that comes with having my DRM intact. Can someone provide me with a little guidance on the direction to go with getting rooted and on lollipop?
Thanks everybody for your help.

I am sorry for posting this here. I see now that this was the wrong place. I have reposted this in Q&A, but I am not sure how to delete the one here in general. Would a mod please delete this for me? Thank you.

Hello everyone.
I need new mobile phone.
I don't want to spend too much money but I'd like to have JB on it or ICS so Galaxy Nexus etc. is not an option.
Is there any mid-end phone you could recommend that is possible to root and install JB on it ?
And which one is the easiest to root and install custom software ?
Thanks for help in advance !
You should ask that question here.
Oh sorry.
Could someone please close that thread ?
Thanks

Hi guys. Im looking to pass my HDX on to my brother in the next couple of days and since he never did read a book in his life the imbecile, i want to give it to him with CM installed.
Cant seem to find a useful guide on how to go from 4.5.3 to CM12 and i have only ever used this device to read on, so its updated to the latest firmware and i have no idea about the root community.
Now i know im a developer and all, but im pressed for time at the moment and i assume some bright chap has done the research already.
I have an absolutely stock HDX 8.9 and want to unlock the bootloader. Any and all help appreciated.
Sorry, it cannot be done. The best you can do is rooted stock or roll back, and use safestrap and nexus Rom.
There are no quick and easy answers with this device.
My suggestion is give it to him as is, then point him here. Both of you will do a lot of reading to figure it out.
Good luck.

Ha thanks man.
Hi, first of all I apologize if this kind of thread is against the rules.
I just made my account here and I want to learn more about rooting, custom firmwares and stuff. I was interested in formatting my phone, and install Android Lollipop (newest version, which is 5.1.1 I think), but searching through the threads in this forum is leaving me confused. Could anyone please point me to the best tutorials on how to root my S3, and how to install Android Lollipop 5.1.1?
Again, I apologize for my noobish brain. I literally just entered into the world of phone rooting xD
Thank you for your time.
Hi all, first post on xda and already screaming for help.
I got a Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 WiFi as a gift a few months ago (my grandma didn't need hers anymore). After realizing how terrible Android 4.4.2 is (I'm mainly an iOS user) I decided to switch to Cyanogenmod after a recommendation from a friend. I did get CM13 installed on it with some help and research but decided to flash a new ROM due to some problems.
TL;DR I ****ed my tab up so bad that I ended up with no OS or recovery for some reason (TWRP just stopped working). Through Odin I somehow managed to flash a new recovery but whenever I try installing a CM zip, all I get is that no file system has been found, or that /storage is not mounted.
Have done some research but can't seem to find any answer on this so I have my hopes up that somebody can help on here. Really would like to get it back to working condition, if possible. And yes, as you might have guessed from this, I'M really inexperienced when it comes to custom ROM flashing etc, so maybe I screwed up bad somewhere and just didn't notice.
Appreciate any help / comments I can get!

I don't have this device but, your best bet is to post this question within the following Q&A thread that's specific to your device.

Hello, this is my first time posting on here.
I have an old Galaxy S3, USA version, T-mobile, SGH-T999. I was wondering how to update it to make it usable? From what I've read online the best way is to root and put in a custom ROM. The problem I'm having is finding the latest ROMs. Is there any way to find the latest official ROMs for the phone? And if I download an unofficial one, how can I know which will run well on my phone? Do I just simply get the latest unofficial ROM?
Lastly, if any one has any step by step guide or video on how to root and install ROMs it would be much appreciated as I've never done something like this before. Sorry if this has been posted before, I'm new to this site and have been having trouble navigating and searching old posts.
Thank you.

I suspect the reason that you haven't gotten any responses in the last day or so is that you are on the wrong part of the Forum! This is the area for the Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 9.7" Tablet, not the Galaxy S3 Smartphone.
You might want to take a look over here for the T-Mobile S3.
Hope that helps clear things up
