I understand that this is a pre-release... soak test for testers.. can any of you guys confirm that ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING works?... I was unlocked but just relocked because none of the available stock roms had all the feats.. for example on Rocko most Motorols widgets are broken same as with jockers roms...
thanks in advance for any answers...

actually his zip doesnt include the new bootloader so this shouldnt matter at all, it can for all intents purposes be treated as an unlocked rom and possibly a locked rom

sides as i said before gives me motivation to try and get kexec working on our phone so we can bypass the bootloader and have 4g
So just to be clear.... we can flash this like a normal rom and not have the boot loader get locked?

So if I'm reading this right this is a deodexed stock Rom of the new update without the new locked down bootloader. Your post says must be unlocked but is there any reason that this can't be flashed with bootstrap without unlocking?
What changes are we seeing with this (2.3.5 doesn't count)? Any fixes for things like wifi or lapdock500 support?
I gave this a try but I didn't have any service. No 3G and I couldn't make any calls or text so I just restored my backup. Not sure if I need to do something else though.
Sent from my MB855 using Tapatalk 2
Looks like you need to change libmoto_ril.so from 198_7 or flash new radio. But BEWARE flashing new radio switches the fuse!!!
That means, you won't be able to run locked 198_7 and you must stay unlocked.

So, the member neil_swann80 is in trouble because Flashtool seems to be rogue on him, so he asked for a Nandroid backup of a stock ROM. If I recall correctly he even offered monetary incentive: if this works, for him, I would rather have it go to XDA.
http://www.megaupload.com/?f=AIYYLQAP
That's the back-up: as usual in my uploads, it's a .7z file divided in parts (2 in this case): just extract the first one and the rest will ensue. I like to keep the download count so I would kindly ask not to mirror it.
It's a completely untouched CWM backup of the latest stock ROM for the R800i (it even has the clock set on 1980 or something). For him, and for everyone else: if you want to use this, extract the files and copy the resulting folder to the /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup directory of your Xperia Play. Run CWM, go to Backup and Restore-Restore and select the folder (by default called NeilSwann).
I don't provide any kernel as you can use DoomLord's, which is compatible with stock ROMs and is orders of magnitude more functional than the stock one.

superuser in stock dump?
@shabbypenguin,
I was reading through your AIO root thread and it occurred to me that I had rooted prior to extracting the system dump that is posted in op as "Stock". Therefore, there is a version of superuser present in /app that I assume may not have been there as delivered. Of course, I may be making an incorrect assumption.
Is it appropriate then to call this stock, or is it a given that rooting would have been necessary to perform the dump in the first place?
I also don't know if this would affect your deodexed version?
Just wondering if this fact needs to be mentioned somewhere, unless I just did.

This is simply a stock from from the Photon's "sister," the Electrify. No one has even identified if there are any benefits/improvements hidden inside this ROM, much less how compatible it is with the Photon.
Just because something IS flashable doesn't mean you SHOULD flash it. OP was very clear - this is for devs only, not public consumption. If you don't know enough, then you're better off exercising some patience and waiting for further announcements.
actually im gunna guess that the man has an electrify and my cwm script is busted
I would venture to guess that you guys will have the same issue we do with the photon roms. As other members on my team verified that root, recovery, kernel and unlock work from the photon. The kernel needed wifi fixed which was pretty simple. In which I pm'd shabby about earlier. The roms also work but some things need fixed to get it working.
I don't know all the details besides what weasel told myself. But mms, 3g I believe works but going back to stock it wouldn't, eri says sprint, blur e-mail fc's and activation for sprint kept popping up to where you have to skip it. Weasel has fixed most of the stuff in the homebase port. I believe e-mail still fc's and mms is still broke.
But here is the first deodex rom weasel and myself did if you want to add it to the first post. http://2fastroms.com/viewtopic.php?f=116&t=265
Then here is the kernel shabby did with wifi fixed ready to install. Only rc-1 since wifi was broke in rc-2. If the electrify people want to install it just grab it from shabby's thread. There was reports of 3000's+ in bench's. Not sure of rom it was on but I would venture to guess our stock rom. http://2fastroms.com/viewtopic.php?f=118&t=334
Then here is the port for homebase weasel is playing with http://2fastroms.com/viewtopic.php?f=116&t=268 if you guys wanted to look at it.
i would gather a lot of frameworks issues, as with services.jar would happen between the phones.
edit: you keep saying you fixed wifi. but the only way to fix it, is by rebuilding the modules using my config file.. which only i have...
unless im missing some other way to replace it?

Hey Can you do framework themes? or you only sticking to keyboards?
Plus a nice dark-red colour would look nice
For right now, I will only be doing these..
I know there are not alot of us around here, but I know of a few guys that are running a Verizon S4 with A T-Mobile SIM card.
I have been running Verizon ROMS and getting 95% functionality. Service is weird, but works most of the time with a few area's that I have to manually go into gsm mode to keep data. BUT I may have found a work around for all of it.
I am running a the i9505 4.4.2 TW ROM GoldenEye, nothing was changed in the ROM to make it work better with Verizon. I posted a thread to let other people know about it here and it is working for some, and it is failing for others with APN problems, but it was/is 100% working for me with no changes to settings at all. I installed, Loki-Dokied, and booted up to 4G automatically running. I got LTE by changing one word in the APN.
SO I need a couple guys who are running a T-Mobile sim in their i545 to test this method for me and see if I just got really lucky or if we have a winner here.
I will put the how to in the next thread.
***I take no credit for the work on this ROM or the Loki-Doki fix***
**I take no responsibility for you phone becoming a paper weight**
*You preform this at your own risk*

#1 You must be on the MDK boot loader, radio's don't matter but newer radio's seem to have a more stable connection.

#4 Flash GOLDENEYE VERSION 24 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2427629 (The ROM)
DO NOT REBOOT (you will get an unauthorized boot loop)
#5 Flash http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407577109 (The Loki-Doki)
#6 Reboot and let it sit for 5 or 6 minutes
#7 ????
#8 PROFIT
Report back here with any info or updates you guys have. I have tried a couple other i9505 ROMs with limited success but working together we might find some other ROMs this method works with. Also in the ROM thread iB4STiD has included links to remove a lot of bloat and additional mods.
To get LTE go into your APN settings adn change "epic.T-Mobile.com" to "fast.T-Mobile.com" The data icon wont change to LTE, but I am getting 26 Mbps
Give credit where it is due:
The ROM was created by: iB4STiD
Loki-Doki was created by: TheAxman
Both cool guys who gave me the go ahead to post their work.

If you read the thread for the EagleEye ROM in the OP's second or third post he mentions that the bootloader is not included. That is why I origionaly had it in my OP my lack of sleep and my smoking habits didnt allow the info to sink in right away while I was typing. I was in the process of editing my OP when you posted originally.
ROM's do not include the boot loader. Your bootloader if MDK will stay MDK no matter what ROM you flash.

Roms do not have bootloaders, your phone does. Which was my point. If you have an mdk phone you have an exploitable bootloader. They are not packaged in the rom nor can they be removed from the phone. I just find it interesting that someone posting a ROM for testers ( as well as you, the tester ) doesn't seem understand this....

Haha, my warranty is nonexistent as I bought the phone outright from swappa and am now on T-Mobile.

I am by no means a developer, I am just a dumb ass who stumbled onto something that works for me through trial and error and listening to other dumb asses who tried stuff on their phones, and I was hoping it would work for others. Test it, don't test it, what ever.
To be honest I have no idea what a boot loader is, I know what boot loader I am on and I know that some smart guy exploited it to allow us to replace the software with something some other smart guy came up with. I know that the newer ones haven't been exploited like mine and that's why they can't do as much as MDK guys can. Hell I don't even really know what safestrap does but from my razr days I know it allows people to install different ROMs.
Bottom line, I am just a guy using other peoples work to try to help some other people not "error" as much as I have and enjoy their device a little bit more...

I'm running on TMobile. I actually have been since we first started discussing the 4.4 TW roms on the i545. I've had no issues and didn't have to enter any APN settings.
The ROMs we are flashing, Goldeneye for instance, do not include the bootloader. If we were flashing Samsung images then bootloaders and modems would probably be included, and would probably brick the phone since we'd be flashing incorrect sw. That said, as long as you are on the MDK bootloader, exploited by Loki, and running a custom recovery, then following the steps in the OP should work for you. If you get stuck in a bootloop, it's probably a kernel error. Loki-doki should solve that for you. If not, that's why you have your Nandroid back right

FYI guys, I just flashed ktoonez Touchwiz Kit Kat Kernel. I took it from the Tmobile thread since there isn't a Verizon one yet. You need to flash loki-doki after flashing this kernel. So far no issues. I'll report back if I find any issues.

I am going to DL and flash soon as I get off work.
Seems to be working for me...
I am using a t-mobile SIM and am still on MDK. I followed the instructions in the OP, and the phone appears to be working. No other mods, themes, etc. other than the OP. SMS, MMS, Data all appear to work. Speeds seem consistent with LTE, but no way to know.
On initial boot, however, I always get this message: "Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped". However, after accepting the message, the phone appears to work normally. It may have something to do with the dark dialer theme that appears to be part of this ROM. I have seen that message before...

Just waiting on a custom kernel now that we have trwp and my phone is complete hoping dr87 will make a version of simple kernel for the g3
I believe this is just a work around so boot loader is still locked but you can flash roms

1. Yes, this is a true unlock. There is no other unlock mechanism on these phones. This is not a work-around, and calling it as such implies that there is any alternate method to use.
2. As for bricking, unfortunately we can't be held responsible for people that haven't done the legwork to verify that what they're doing is safe. We (Team Codefire) never released any mods for the G3 variants that were not unlocked in an effort to do our side of the responsibility to not make it easy for people to accidentally brick their phones. Now that recovery is released, if the end user does not ensure that TWRP functions on their device and ends up getting it in a state where the stock rom does not boot - this is 100% their problem as we were careful to ensure that all the information an informed user needs to make this work on their phones is out there.
2a. Regarding CrossDL, we actually will have a workaround for that here soon. As long as people don't touch their LAF or Factory partitions we can unbrick them from almost anything short of them editing sbl/rpm/tz partitions (which nobody should ever be doing!)
So are you implying boot loader is unlocked? Because this is similar to Loki like on the g2

This is from the Bumped thread
Is this similar to Loki?
No, you will not need to ensure your firmware version matches exactly with the ROM you have. You will only need to make sure that the ROM you downloaded is compatible with your carrier.

It's already been started by the devs that roms AND kernels will be able to be flashed as long as they are bump compatible. So yes there will be custom kernels.
As already stated here, and in other threads as well as the official Bump thread by the developers themselves, this has unlocked our bootloader. We are essentially free to flash ROMs, kernels, and other mods (provided they've been Bumped) as if this were a Nexus device. The past couple days have been a fantastic turn of events for our lovely device.
Now, am I the only one constantly checking the development threads hoping for one that has [ROM] in its title? I know we're probably weeks away, but I can't contain myself. I'll gladly donate $50 to the first developer who brings us a fully functional AOSP ROM.

Some devs were given the bump api early so they could get to working on ROM's.
There is a working CM with bugs in the works and should be released probably around the same time the bump api is released.
People are talking something as long as the developer "bumped, bumps" roms and kernels, what does that exactly means?

The roms have to be modified (aka bumped) to work with this method of flashing.

Roms don't have to be modified the boot.IMG has to be bumped so we can flash,cubed has said very simple and will share soon with the Dev so the end user has no worries.
so does anyone have anything to test yet. I am itching. I preordered a note 4 the other day now I am thinking I will be cancelling that

So stoked for roms. This is my first android device. Today I did my first nandroid backup and tried out jasmineRom for a second.

True unlock last time I checked the arthor of that did not have anything to do with it. Idk what makes them think its a workaround.
That's like LG saying thats an LG G3 & and your telling them no it's a fake (clone)
Who are you going to believe
Anyways it don't matter it's unlocked why are you stressing it so much? Lol
