[Q] Spoof Xperia S as Xperia Z?

There is an offer for Xperia Z owners that gives them a 25€ voucher for SEN services (this includes PSN, which is what interests me the most). Is there some way to spoof our device to make the app think it's an Xperia Z? I'd really enjoy a free game off PSN.

You must edit build.prop.

I figured as much, but with google, I only find edits to spoof as samsung or nexus. Also, what do I need to edit for the spoof to work, exactly?
Can I get a full guide on how to do this, with all the data needed from the Xperia Z?

Ok, I have the Xperia Z build.prop right here (got it from some rom I grabbed on the XZ forum), which lines do I need to change exactly?

Nevermind, I did it.

Changing the build.prop to pose as another device should work nearly the same on all Android phones, be it Samsung or Sony. So did you get the voucher?

Yes, it worked. I used it on PSN and I'm currently downloading a game. Hopefully it's not illegal. I don't feel too bad about it because I own a ton of sony devices, so I probably deserve it too even though I don't have the XZ.
I'd like if this thread was deleted ASAP if I somehow broke any rule.

As of today the promotion is on hold due to to many people claiming the £20 vouchers, and seeing as I only just spoofed my sxs I just missed out lol. The message from sony does say it will start again and the promotion runs until halfway through June so hopefully I will get a chance to claim the voucher code.

Couldn you tell us how you did it?
Thanks

For anyone not with an Xperia Z, but still have an Android phone you must first be rooted, and download build.prop editor. Back up first, then set the settings to this:
ro.product.device=C6603
ro.product.model=C6603
ro.product.brand=Sony
ro.product.name=C6603_1272-8629
ro.product.board=MSM8960
ro.product.manufacturer=Sony
ro.build.fingerprint=Sony/C6603_1272-8629/C6603:4.1.2/10.1.A.1.350/ofp_rw:user/release-keys
The offer is now working again but Sony have updated the app to block spoofed phones well at least the sxs.

Discuss Optimus G Pro???

I was wondering where we should be discussing the Optimus G Pro? I was hoping for something on launch day, but alas nothing.

Same here. Love the phone, BTW.

Why so slow on this phone?? usually other high end phones have their own forum before the phone even gets released

Looks like we have a thread to discuss it now. Thanks OP

I cant wait for some development on this awesome new phone, I love it.

I've asked some mod to make a section, he answered that has put it on the pending list for other mods to oversee. Me think we must create a topic in http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=240 section for our demand to be seen faster

They say if you bring to AT&T your old phone and buy G Pro with contract they'll sell it for only $100 instead of $200

Rooted G Pro
I was able to root my AT&T G pro using the same method for the Optimus G. Although I haven't been able to unlock the bootloader through FreeGee yet.

After you root you can install the ClockWorks Mod recovery from an apk app from the international version at the following link;
http://optimusforums.com/threads/optimus-g-pro-how-to-get-clockworkmod-cwm-and-make-a-backup.7666/
I installed it and did a backup already
I assume there will be more like "TWRP" for our phone in the near future
Stll waiting for bootloader unlock, uploaded image to Freegee.

Thanks again for the root info. I can confirm it is working for me as well as the Xposed framework. I've been playing around with the dpi settings and I can't believe how sharp everything is even after lowing down the dpi. One thing I don't like about the screen is that I have some light bleeding near the edge of the display. Nothing major but just a little annoying when the screen is showing a black image.

I can confirm as well that the Optimus G root method worked without any problems on my OG Pro.

I am considering jumping from the Samsung Galaxy Note to the Optimus G Pro and have been looking for the forums myself. Wanted to read what I could about the device before making the jump. I really want this device. See that Root is already confirmed to be working so that is a start. Don't need much else after that as I can figure it out from there.

xperia m is getting official 4.4 :D

see this guys!!
this is pretty possible :good::good:

Really??
But can confirm because both of them have about six month support yet...

Until Sony announce it I won't be believing it. That claim is very easy to make and could be a hoax.

I am going to contact sony right now and see if this is true. Wish me luck

lol... the callers who pick our calls at the sony centre are really dumb. they don't know anything. they dont even have any idea whats going in sony in present.. how can they tell what will take place in future
p.s... don't believe them!!

I think this is joke

The thing we can do for now is to wait if this rumor will be true.

Will be Android 5 with full ARM ,not 4.4. )))

Sony replied to my email. Sorry guys it's bad news. They say that the xperia m could get the 4.4 update, just not any time soon. Looks like we will be waiting a while. They also stressed the word "could", so they are still unsure if they should do it or not.

Anyway what is the difference between 4.3 & 4.4 ?
In SGS4 many apps are incompatible with 4.4 even downloaded from store !!!!
& They couldn't downgrade either.

ART, Immersive Mode, better RAM managment(atleast that's what they say). Anyway, it's ok, but it isn't anything special. Also, Immersive mode is sometimes pain in the ass, since pulling down will show status bar and nav bar, so it was quite annyoing for me when i acidentally pulled them down in certain apps and games.

Help Finding A Root For The LG G3 Vigor

So, it seems that a few people around XDA have the G3 Vigor, such as myself. But the issue is, none of the root methods currently support this device. That being said, I'd like to know how to go about possibly finding an exploit(if need be) and using it to root this thing. I've searched plenty, but haven't found a good solid place to start. I'm not afraid to Mrs with some code, and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Found the exploit
So, I know where I need to attack to get root access. But I'm still unsure of how to go about doing it. Any ideas?

No root access yet. Been watching the Stump Root method to see if they add this phone and no updates yet. I just got this phone although is a slightly different version of the LG 3, looks like it has a different way to access root. Let's wait and see if anything pops up soon. If you found a way to exploit it, let the dev of the Stump Root method know.

[Q] root for verizon t807v?

ok. There are no threads here about any successful rooting of the t807v. There is a site (it kinda looks like a bot) called srsroot that claims it can root the t807v (VRU1ANK1)
Has anyone used srsroot before?

I believe the issue you face is a locked bootloader in typical Verizon fashion if I recall.

What can we do about this? I had no idea I wasn't going to be able to root when I bought this tablet otherwise I wouldn't have. Is there anyway it can be done? I'd pay someone, I mean I'd be willing to give 100$ possibly more... I don't know as much as most around here but I feel like it someone could do it.

if you want root you most likely have to wait until someone finds root for the note 4 or s6 (verizon variants)..
for example, when the verizon s5 was rooted, the root worked for most older versions and devices as well.. I dont think there is many devs working to root this tablet as there are working to root the vzw note 4.

If anyone with a t807v is on the build prior to NK1, let me know or provide us with the .tar file is possible and I think I found a method that would work to root the device.

ping pong root
Ping pong root works wonders to root the verizon s6 edge. I'm guessing they can do something with this piece as well?

Do you think T707v would behave the same? They both have s800 I believe. You can easily find ng7 .tar for t707v.
