i didnt really understand, i used a gnote before and i could flash just about anything if i had the right kernel without going back to stock...

but i understand things are different here.. and it scares the begeezus out of me because the battery aint removable.

if anyone could provide a detailed tutorial, it would be much appreciated.

also, if it helps, this is the part that i get confused about : flash latest FTF firmware based etc etc etc... ( dont know where i can get it, dont know how to flash it via flash tool and i dont know about all that unchecking)

ps: i really like the look of x-reality, so i wanted to experience all that

and i know this is frustrating for you guys to explain, i can understand that... i tried tinkering on my own to no end.
[Xperia Z Android Development] GutsyTripod:
Its ok, Its not that hard. There is a handy tool you can download from sony called "emma" it will completely factory reset your phone and apply the latest version of software available. I tend to use it instead of flashtool.

Once your phone is reset its a doddle to start again as all these roms are usually prerooted and require very little action on your part.

i getting crashes after couple seconds with new camera when i make picture or record
[Xperia Z Android Development] manuabraham:
'Emma' can be used on unlocked bootloaders too? also, it will revert from paranoid android to the latest sony stock rom?
[Xperia Z Android Development] vibranze:
You can follow the instruction from NUT's thread, you can skip downloading C6603.flashable.423.zip and use Monx's ROM instead. For flashtool, you can get it from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2162907 or http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2229790.

Once you familiarized with it, it's not confusing at all.

C6603: How to update to 10.3.A.0.423:

NOTE: STICK TO THIS ORDER AND STEPS!!

For C6603: Download monXdifiedZ-C6603-103A0423-03-51-00.zip and C6603_10.3.A.0.423-stripped.ftf (15MB), save it somewhere you remember;

Put 'monXdifiedZ-C6603-103A0423-03-51-00' on (the external) SDcard1;

Put 'C6603_10.3.A.0.423-stripped.ftf' inside the Flashtool/firmwares folder;

Create a backup of your phone in CWM or TWRP and don't forget to backup the contents of 'SDCard0';

Flash 'monXdifiedZ-C6603-103A0423-03-51-00.zip' in TWRP,

do not reboot

but go back to the main menu, then go to reboot->power off;

Flash everything in 'C6603_10.3.A.0.423-stripped.ftf';

Reboot to system

without

clearing (dalvik-/)cache.

The first boot will be considerably slower and after a long wait at the boot animation you will see Android optimizing the apps on your phone.

After updating your NFC firmware and some update information has been displayed, all is done!

Hope this help.

Cheers.

Hi vibranze,

Why i do step 5 and

"do not reboot"

?
[Xperia Z Android Development] manuabraham:
mine is c6602...

---------- Post added at 02:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:30 PM ----------

ok.. so

1) download stock firmware (FTF file)

2) go to twrp , wipe data, cache , dalvik

3) flash the firmware, dont reboot

4) flash the rom

5) reboot

will this work??
[Xperia Z Android Development] vibranze:
In this case, you better off with NUT's c6602 ROM and FTF, once you make sure it's working then reflash Monx's ROM by doing factory reset (wipe dalvik, cache and system).
[Xperia Z Android Development] vibranze:
Check with [MENTION=410007]Nut[/MENTION] ;)
[Xperia Z Android Development] JPWOA:
Did or will you include the other things like the new settings, the new theme (and framework) with light color for dark background and dark color for light background, the new conversations and phonebook apps?
[Xperia Z Android Development] ccris:
As far as I understand, at step 5 you just flash the system (ROM), but your kernel/boot will still be not compatible with the new ROM. Thats why if you reboot your phone, it will be stucked at boot screen.

So, after you flash the new ROM 'monXdifiedZ-C6603-103A0423-03-51-00.zip' in TWRP, you need to power the phone off so that it doesn't boot (and get stucked at boot screen).

The phone will be restarted only by Flashtool for flashing the kernel 'C6603_10.3.A.0.423-stripped.ftf', after the kernel is flashed you can restart your phone (Reboot to system without clearing (dalvik-/)cache).

[Xperia Z Android Development] nikc0069:
If I am already on Generic ES .423 I guess I just need to flash this over the top? I do see how people get a bit confused but if you are already on a stock Sony firmware 423 I guess you already have the necessary kernel and base.I think the confusion may come from the OP sounding like you need to have a previous version of Monx's rom installed with his special ftf - but for locked BL I guess it just flash away with the rom over what we already have....

I can confirm this worked for me. I flashed v3.51 with a clean installation and at the very first boot i got FC on camera app, camera common and another....

Just went into Settings > Apps > All >> and wiped data and cache for the following apps....

- Camera

- Camera addon

- Camera common

- Camera extension

After that i started the camera throught the lockscreen and took a picture. Got out, started camera through appdrawer > camera and shot a picture, it worked.

Started whatsapp > took picture and it worked.

Thanks! :good:

6. flash the rom

7. restart in flashmode

7. restart in flashmode

8. Flash the baseband and kernel of the 4.2.2 ftf with flashtools or just the baseband and flash Doomlord kernel v9 in recovery

9. reboot the phone

Thank you for 3.6

I flashed it today and still had the fc camera, no biggie >> just erase cache of the camera apps and all is well.

But i found one thing (minor bug) and i do not know if its only my device.....

What happens?

- i'm listening to music via bluetooth headset and i make a screenshot with power toggle button and volume down.... after i do that, i lose bluetooth connection and the music is played through the phone speaker.

As soon as i pull down the notification bar and swipe away the screenshot notification and press pauze and play, the music is reconnected to my bluetooth headset.... strange don't ya think?

Anyone else might want to test this please?

[*]Flash stock Sony's firmware (FTF) 10.3.A.0.423 (for android 4.2.2) using flashtools

U already rooted your phone. U already have recovery. U are maybe currently using other custom rom.

[*]Reboot in recovery, (do nandroid backup), do factory reset & install rom until finish

[*]Turn off device. (Hold power button + vol up until vibrates 3 times) [or use recovery turn off device option, if any]

[*]Skip step no.6 if u already running same base firmware with latest monxDIFIED base rom. Else, proceed.

[*]Flash latest Sony's firmware (FTF) matching current latest monxDIFIED base rom using flashtools.

Uncheck all

WIPE options and

exclude all

EXCEPT KERNEL & BASEBAND to get latest matched kernel & baseband.

[*]Turn on phone. Done.

Just to be absolutely clear in the above instructions before I venture down the flash ROM road if I am already on 4.2.2 / 0.423 Spain official release and rooted and have installed the Dual Recovery , can I skip Step 6. If so then then after ROM install do I just reboot to system in recovery?

Btw i also had "the camera has closed" message and when i go to system\apps there is no camera.apk in there but there is an icon in the app tray.

I pushed the app from the original krab thread and it kinda works but only from the lockcreen.

Lastly the keyboard doesnt seem to have a working dictionary. It only recognises words that ive previously typed.

Sorry if it sounds like im having a moan as i love this rom. Its been the best since it started.

Hi all,

Was on Stock (Nut release) 4.2.2 with Recovery and Root working, Locked BL.

Then applied the step by step to install Monx 3.60 :

- Boot in Recovery (TW..)

- Factory Reset

- Wipe everything (except external SD Card)

- Install Monx zip rom

- Reboot without proceeding the Flashtool step (as already using 4.2.2 with adequate Kernel and Baseband)

Then after all step without issue I started to setup my phone and accounts and apps, everything went Coool.

Then I reboot the phone and ... :(:confused::(

Phone is stuck at the start of the boot, where the 'Repair' icon is displayed with à kind of animated progress bar moves just under.

I left it during more than 40 min... Nothing changed...

I can power off it by pressing Power + Up and Down vol buttons.

Then back again at the start with the repair icon :banghead:

Help ... :o Advises ???
