Hi,

I have the same problem, could not install 253 with OTA.

How could you uninstall whitebalance? I have tried it but couldn't uninstall...

I had small-black button upgrade, I have uninstalled it and tried to OTA update, nothing again... I have dual recovery also.

It is annoying...

I want to install 253 with OTA. :)
[Xperia Z General] mehdi.xterra:
I had Deleted white balance from system/app but ota update couldn't install I really confused. :(
[Xperia Z General] neoxkid:
I have flashed 350 ftf and rooted it and then tried to do OTA but it couldnt finish the process. I havent made any change to sysem or MODs.
[Xperia Z General] j0nthn:
Does this include installing superSU as a system app?
[Xperia Z General] neoxkid:
Same problem with 434, thats why i tried 350.
[Xperia Z General] alexpraga:
By the time we manage to solve this issue, Sony will launch the next upgrade and here we'll go again...

Sony could just add an option to give root in settings.

[Xperia Z General] make87:
If you guys want root so bad , why dont just unlock your bootloader ?

Sony somehow had provide you guys some way, instead like other manufacturer who are not.
[Xperia Z General] Apollo89:
Sony will never give such an option. They don't want to provide warranty to people who do unofficial modifications to the firmware (which can potentially cause hardware damage). If you want root, officially you need to unlock your bootloader and void your warranty.
[Xperia Z General] alexpraga:
In general, I agree with you (2 last posts) but if you find a way to root your phone without unlocking you will still be protected against malfunctions that have nothing to do with the fact that you are unrooted, e.g. like a defective display.

So it's an unbalanced decision specially one month after buying your device.

In my case, I just want to tweak a little bit my phone (reduce the height of the nav bar and froze some bloatware) but still have access to the last (best) work from Sony, as 253 is.

This is my 5th Sony phone (after w880i, X1, X10, S), I have 3 Sony photo cameras, 4 Vaio PCs, 2 Sony Reader,...,...,... You don't have to convince me about Sony merits. Lol. They are great!

But now just imagine that you had this little option box for rooting... Me happy!

I can update with OTA but only when i dont have root. if i have fresh 434+root then it wont update with OTA.

I have 253 and locked bootloader and no root firmware.

So what can i do?

I want backup TA and DRM and for that i must root!! and i can not have root because i can not unlock bootloader before backup TA.

LOOOOLL I am in fail loop.

Damn you Sony.

Hi, I've just received the ota update notification but I have done many app deletes in system/app with Titanium Backup (and forgot to backup them..), I think that's why I'm getting the "Could not install" message after download the OTA update... So, could you please explain me how "I flash the system partition alone" and what this exactly do?

I've read some people only reinstall the system apps they uninstalled and the update went great.. The problem is I don't remember all system apps I deleted, so.. is there someone could please provide me all the system/app files for the .434 firmware? I attach an image with the software info..

Thanks in advance! :good:

So i have to DL 434 and downgrade my phone (wipe anything?) and root it (and backup TA and then unlock bootloader) then i have to DL 253 to upgrade it again. and of course loos BE2. its S****

Why it is not just like Samsung?? Why bootloader? Why unlock it cause delete DRM? Why Sony change root way in EVERY update?? Why it is not just like Samsung without bootloader and deleting DRM and easy root??

Anybody from India recieved the .253 update via OTA??
[Xperia Z General] Minotavrs:
Hi citizens

I have to my Z this fw: UK UNBRANDED CV : 1270-7689_R12A OR 1270-7689_R14A with (10.1.A.1.434)

untill now no OTA at all for me ...

What irmware do you suggest me to install via Flashtool to my device for rooting the latest fw via OTA ?

I think Generic Nordic FTF file for 10.1.A.1.434 firmware is the best .. do i wrong ?
[Xperia Z General] Minotavrs:
Because many citizens have been confused about rooted OTA .253 here is a mini HOW TO:

HOW TO: rooted OTA .253

What you need:

Flashtool version 0.9.10.2beta6

FTF: Xperia Z_C6603_10.1.A.1.434_Nordic (or any other version u know it gets OTA)

Steps

Through Flashtool flash the FTF file (Xperia Z_C6603_10.1.A.1.434_Nordic)

Disconnect Usb cable and reboot after installation

Setup Device and go to settings and open:

1. usb debuging

2. unknown sources

reboot

Open Flashtool and ROOT your device

Go to : My C660x -->Root--> Force Servicemenu

After reboot Go to update center and install the latest firmware..

Wait for 5-7 minutes

Latest rooted firmware via OTA DONE !!

enjoy
[Xperia Z General] alexpraga:
Thanks! I have followed your steps and I have managed to make the OTA upgrade keeping root. Thanks!

But...

My first attempt entered in a boot loop because of the NFC upgrade: solution wipe everything.

I am almost sure that it only works with the rooting using flashtool as you have in step 4.

Silly question: Before leaving .253 I have made a backup using Sony's tool. Can I loose root by restoring it now?
[HTC One X] killain41:
Greetings!

So today I decided to try out a new ROM(the newest ICJ) but decided to switch back to my old one(Jelly Bam) shortly after. The problem arose right after I installed ICJ. There was no APN I tried manually entering it (only the APN, MCC and MNC, as was written in the guide I read) but after I click the save button it just wouldn't save it. I tried this multiple times to no success and so I decided to switch back to Jelly Bam. However the network problem hasn't gone away and I can't even find any newtork operators as it shows an error when I search for them. Really hope someone can help.
[HTC One X] vin4yak:
Did you flash the correct boot.img? Wiped everything before installing ICJ? I'm also on the latest ICJ 3.2 and I don't have any problems...

Try manually inserting it in your new Jelly Bam rom?!
[HTC One X] killain41:
Thanks, I seem to have forgotten to replace the old boot.img. It's all good now.

Has this happened to anyone else? I used the Google Maps Traffic Widget once but then deleted it from the screen. Now the updater for the traffic widget always seems to start itself. I force stop it and it always comes back after some time. I also try to force stop and clear the cache of Google Maps and also hibernating maps by Greenify that will stop it for a while but again it always comes back after some random amount of time. It is eating up my battery. Anyone know if there is some way to permanently stop this thing from "updating"?
[HTC Rezound] J D A:
Alright, so I love my Rezound, even if I bought it used. There's one issue though. There's quite a bit of dust under the digitizer, to the point where there are little clumps (?) of dirt / dust there (like a couple mm's in diameter). My screen messes up quite a bit, in that the touch messes up and spazzes out, doing random things. It happens A LOT in sunlight and it's frustrating, especially with a pattern unlock, as I can be locked out or it goes int the emergency call area and dials random crap sporadically. If I turn the screen off and tap it it stops. I'm thinking about cleaning the digitizer off, and I don't want to replace the whole thing. Could the dust be the cause of these issues I'm having? I know that dust is conductive apparently so it's possible, right?

I got this phone for $95 bucks (everything besides the screen dust is in near perfect condition), so warning me about just taking apart the digitizer doesn't bother me. I can do this.
[HTC Rezound] chaosm2011:
It sounds like someone replaced the digitizer or LCD and didn't route or properly connect the digitizer flex cable. Search this sub forum for "digitizer replacement" or "screen repair" to avoid some of the gotca's when taking the phone apart (such as dealing with the cables and the sticky tape holding the screen & digitizer in the phone)

Why does windows Media player eats up the last few seconds from each file it plays? I noticed that when playing wave files from SD card, in any mood, it then will overlap the new file over the last 2 or three second of the previous one.

Are you on Windows 8?

You only need a Fastboot connection.

If you choose in Bootloader -> Fastboot, there's under the H-Boot Information in a red, bold fonnt the word "Fastboot". If it changes to "Fastboot USB", you can try the command on you pc, while its connected to the Pc.

fastboot devices

if there appears one Device, it's almost done. Only thing you now need to do is running the RUU.exe on you Pc and just follow the commands from the exe.

---------- Post added at 06:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:25 PM ----------

as per my knowledge you can flash custom rom but NOT custom kernel through recovery if you have a locked bootloader

so you can flash those roms which do not require there own specific kernel.

That means that you still have the stock HTC Recovery in place. In order to flash a custom recovery, you need to have an unlocked bootloader and then you must flash the custom recovery in FASTBOOT USB mode using the command:

fastboot flash recovery [name of recovery.img file]

Please read and study the procedures that are documented in the sticky threads in this forum.

another problem is everytime im connecting the phone to pc it always says "USB Device Not Recognized"
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
OK, so try this. Download this ICS RUU for the IncS:

http://hotfile.com/dl/162739318/8f1...831.18.00.11_M_release_266013_signed.exe.html

On your PC, run this program and let the first screen come up. Once the screen is displayed, go to your %TEMP% directory and search for a file named "ROM.zip". Once you find it, copy it from the %TEMP% directory to your desktop.

Since your USB connection isn't working, remove the microSD card from your phone and place it in a SD reader/adapter and mount it on your PC.

Copy the ROM.zip file from the PC desktop to the SD card and then rename it:

PG32IMG.zip. Please make sure that you have "Show file extensions" turned so that you don't rename it "PG32IMG.zip.zip"

Now place the SD card back into the phone and hold down the Volume Down key and press and hold the Power button.

As it boots to the HBOOT screen, it should find the PG32IMG.zip file and prompt you to apply the update. Allow it to run and you should be back to a stock ROM.
[HTC Incredible S] mickertslovakia:
i downloaded the ROM...

put it on my SD card....run to recovery mode...i press volume up + power then it says E:Can't Open /cache/recovery/command

also when im trying to flash the ROM..apply update from external it says signature verification failed

thank you everybody for all your help...
[HTC Incredible S] mickertslovakia:
strange...i cant find the "ROM.zip" ur saying...
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Here is the key phrase:

Once the screen is displayed, go to your %TEMP% directory and search for a file named "ROM.zip".

You need to search the %TEMP% directory for that file. It is in a sub-directory of the %TEMP% root.
[HTC Incredible S] mickertslovakia:

did i mess up? i renamed it to PG32IMG
[HTC Incredible S] 072665995:
Get a goldcard. it should work just fine then.
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
A goldcard is not going to work with the Model ID error. Fortunately since you have permanent S-OFF, what you can do is open the PG32IMG.zip file and then edit the android-info.txt file and add the following line to the top of the file:

modelid: PG3212000
[HTC Incredible S] mickertslovakia:
still the same...model ID incorrect..
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
OK, can you list the context of the android-info.txt file from the PG32IMG.zip file?

You could try changing the line from

modelid: PG3212000

to

modelid: PG321****

Make sure you replace the original android-info.txt with the modified android-info.txt in the PG32IMG.zip on your SD card.
[HTC Incredible S] mickertslovakia:
i just forgt to copy the PG32IMG.zip the one i edited the andoid-info.txt..

no more error....whats next?...go to recovery and install PG32IMG.zip from SD card?
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
No, when you booted into HBOOT menu and it found the PG32IMG.zip, did it ask you to Install the Update? If it did and you didn't get any errors, then you should be able to reboot the phone and it should work.
[HTC Incredible S] mickertslovakia:
it did not ask me to install update...

it says when loading.. "no image or wrong image"
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Then the file is not named right on the SD card. It needs to be in the root directory of the SD card and named PG32IMG.zip. Once again make sure it is not named PG32IMG.zip.zip
[HTC Incredible S] mickertslovakia:
i double checked the new zip file....it was PG32IMG>PG32IMG>(inside files)
