But strangely, my phone isn't detecting the media from the above path, its just showing the pictures form newly created DCIM folder which is on a different location :(
[Xperia Z Android Development] [NUT]:
Ooh... i now see what you mean... you are correct. I'll patch up the flashable package to do it automatically.

For you, use a file explorer to move the contents (skipping the 0 folder) of /data/media to /data/media/0/. Sorry man, i missed that completely on my phone o_O :eek:

Yah, the Bluetooth connectivity took a blow with 4.2.2... It's not as stable as it was with 4.1.2...
[Xperia Z Android Development] Flashben:
Did you guys on the stamina mode and didn't enable the bluetooth to run when screen is off?

It may be the issue
[Xperia Z Android Development] GeoSpaceKing:
I didn't select anything on stamina mode until now but the only option I saw related to our issue was "Bluetooth share"..I'll keep it active in stamina mode and check the stability of the connection now..:p
[Xperia Z Android Development] [NUT]:
Not using stamina... So for me it is unrelated...
[Xperia Z Android Development] GeoSpaceKing:
Yo [NUT]..this battery jump issue is killing me..everytime I reboot or go into recovery,my battery increases about 25%..it then switches off at 20% or so..its really annoying..pls tell me..what am I supposed to do?:(
[Xperia Z Android Development] GeoSpaceKing:
It happens like this..it's freaking me off..is this the case for everyone?
[Xperia Z Android Development] [NUT]:
I think there is nothing you can do actually.

It happens to me too with 4.2.2, even after a simple reboot. So my guess is that this and the Bluetooth issues are bugs that need to get killed by Sony.
[Xperia Z Android Development] GeoSpaceKing:
Well..hoping that sony releases those fixed updates soon...so after my phone has rebooted,my battery was showing 59% instead of 38%..so after it reaches 100% in the status bar,will the charging stop with the original battery level at 79% only?:rolleyes:
[Xperia Z Android Development] [NUT]:
Hmm no, from my personal experience, it does reach the true 100% when it says it does... but i leave my phone on the dock from the moment I go to bed until I wake up in the morning, so it gets a charge for at least 4 hours (yeah, seriously) each night.
[Xperia Z Android Development] GeoSpaceKing:
That's some heavy trickle charging there dude.. Many ppl said that when the battery reaches 100% mark, the current is cut off automatically..I don't know how much it works but I guess maybe the trickle charging gets The job done by making the battery reach its near full capacity..just curious..doesn't The battery lose its capacity if we charge it for such long times?
[Xperia Z Android Development] [NUT]:
Hmm no, I've read somewhere (I can't find the page right now, I'll post it later) that would not be a problem with the battery inside the Z :)

Can I try a factory reset in recovery?

I have locked bootloader.
[Xperia Z Android Development] [NUT]:
You can, just remember to create a backup before you do, if it doesn't help you will be able to at least restore it to get to your working phone again...
[Xperia Z Android Development] detlefd:
the zip-file (.423) is based on the generic spain version right?

i'm getting an error on google-play-store (via desktop) at some apps, that they're "not available on this phone" due to wrong region/country... i'm from germany
[Xperia Z Android Development] [NUT]:
Well, you can use my DIY Guide to create one yourself from a DE FTF with the same features and the same way of installing... That will get it fixed for sure ;)
[Xperia Z Android Development] WizardMage:
Hi Nut,

I think I read somewhere from general section that a new 4.2.2 update rolled out.. They where already on 4.2.2 stock non rooted and they got a new update with the same 4.2.2 not sure if that new update has some fixes.. Will you be able to check it out when you have a free time? So far I'm still enjoying this stock 4.2.2 of yours.. But any update from Sony with fixes are really welcome... :)

pure audio

walkman disappears after installation of pureXaudio v19.

it supports every 4.2.2 based Rom even stock.but in this Rom it wont work?:confused:
[Xperia Z Android Development] [NUT]:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2351117 is probably where you read it... EMMA does not know much about a new release and the existing one did not change. It's probably a local app update rolled in by OTA or PC Companion.

Well... this is the ES based FTF version, if it does not work on this package, it won't work on the ES customization either... Can you try to flash the system partition from a BE/NL FTF, rooting that and then try again?

exFAT

exFat is not working anymore.

I used exfat1click and it ran succsessful but sdcard can not mount anymore.

Have anyone a solution?
[Xperia Z Android Development] [NUT]:
Eh... Yes, don't use exfat1click... The C660x has support for it built in the kernel...

Remove them from your /system/lib/modules/ folder. Texfat.ko and nls_utf8.ko
[Xperia Z Android Development] vibecatalin:
I've done everything exactly like in the ``tutorial`` and the new firmware is installed with no problems. I will re-post if I have some bugs or something.

The only thing was that in TWRP it ask me to fix the root permissions and I've pressed do not fix. Is this ok?
[Xperia Z Android Development] [NUT]:
Yes, it is, it's an ownership issue where I and DooMLoRD both keep to a style which does not match the one expected by TWRP. It doesn't matter or hurt either way :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] vibecatalin:
Another thing : the old internal storage has moved to the 0 (zero folder). Should I move it back from the 0 (zero) folder to the actual internal storage or just leave it as it is?
[Xperia Z Android Development] [NUT]:
Heh, the 0 folder IS the new location of the internal storage. So leave it where it is and you will be fine :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] std396:

Ive never had to do so many steps on how to flash a new update or rom. I was never able to flash this new update. via the steps.

PS. CAN ANYONE HELP ME? I RECEIVED THE UPDATE NOTIFICATION IN MY C6602. I have CMW and Root installed on my phone. and its the exact same update as here. It wont let me update the phone via the updater. Does anyone know whym or what can I do?

[Xperia Z Android Development] 3thman:
do I have to have an external sdcard ? cuz I dont have it
[Xperia Z Android Development] [NUT]:
No, you don't have to. You can store it on internal storage too if you want.
[Xperia Z Android Development] 3thman:
guys I just did all the steps and everything went well but the procces did not wipe anything in my phone...?? is that normal ?? actually I wanted a clean flash ? I want to wipe everything how can I do that.. can I wipe everything on the recovery ??
[Xperia Z Android Development] [NUT]:
If that was your intention, you might have been better off using an FTF... But yes, you can use CWM to do a factory reset.
[Xperia Z Android Development] 3thman:
Thank you for you reply.. I used FTF. I flashed it using the flahshtool but when i flshed it, on the left the wipe cach and data did not appear I don't know why. And did I install it correctly??
[Xperia Z Android Development] greglord:
I have a problem- I've updated to this release from leaked 407. No problems whatsoever. After few days PC companion started to nag, there's new version available (it states i have 407 installed and 423 is available). If I check settings>about phone, I see I have 423. What do I need to do so that PC Companion will recognize my (UB) phone with version 423?

Also, If I try to update it, it says I don't have a proper software to update :|

Thank you.
[Xperia Z Android Development] [NUT]:
Heh, no, you misunderstood me, the FTF you downloaded from this thread has been stripped so it would NOT wipe cache and data ;)

Just use CWM and do a factory reset, that will clean-up your phone.

Well, this ROM has been based on the Spanish FTF. Your phone still holds the customization you originally should have in your TA partition. These of course do not match.

So, pc companion reads the TA for the customization and sees you need update X. Then it starts the OTA software which concludes your software does not match what pc companion expected and stops there and then.

Best is to freeze the OTA updater on your phone and ignore pc companion.

The other way, if you really want your own customization back, is to create a backup of your current installation and restore your phone using SUS. Root it using DooMLoRD's easy rooting toolkit and install XZDualRecovery by hand, advanced restore just the data partition and your done.

Just remember that SUS wipes your internal storage as well, so don't forget to backup it's contents.
[Xperia Z Android Development] greglord:
thank you. or i would just need to find a proper TFT for my region, right?

thank you again :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] [NUT]:
Yes, that should work just as fine, but when 'wiping' the data partition, it will also clear your internal storage (as it effectively flashes the data partition from a clean stock ROM when you do not un-tic 'wipe data').
[Xperia Z Android Development] GeoSpaceKing:
I recently noticed that I wasn't able to boot into recovery mode..neither cwm nor twrp..after the Sony logo shows up,there is a red light with no vibration instead of the green light..no use of pressing volume buttons at that time..any reason for what's causing the problem?:p
[Xperia Z Android Development] [NUT]:
Check /tmp/XZDualRecovery/preparation.log for the answer why.
[Xperia Z Android Development] GeoSpaceKing:
Where exactly is the /tmp folder located?:)
[Xperia Z Android Development] [NUT]:
:eek:

/ Is the rootfs... so open any file manager app and start from there...
[Xperia Z Android Development] GeoSpaceKing:
Bro,what I meant was I couldn't find it...the only tmp folder I could see was tmp -> /dev/socket and I'm pretty sure that it ain't the right place to look for..pls guide me man..:p

Haha, actually... It is ;)
[Xperia Z Android Development] 3thman:
GUYS PLEASE HELP ME PLEASE>> I followed all the steps and the phone booted but suddenly I got to choices ( power off ) and (use the phone) i put turn off and the i turned the phone on again and I got a white triangle so I turned the phone off and on again and not it is stuck on the SONY word :( please help me
[Xperia Z Android Development] GeoSpaceKing:
Lol..my bad,but there ain't any folder there which says XZDualRecovery..and I even searched every folder in it but I can't find the thing you're talking about..I guess I'll flash .307 and repeat the process again..or is there any alternative?:rolleyes:
[Xperia Z Android Development] [NUT]:
Turn off your phone, using power+vol-up holding them until you feel your phone vibrate 3 times. Wait 30 seconds and turn it on again. Then if you get the triangle screen again: let it run, DO NOT INTERRUPT, it will continue boot when it's done.

Yes, you can reinstall XZDualRecovery by hand. That will work just as well :)

I'll have a poke around and see if i can find out why it's unavailable. I'll get back on that.
[Xperia Z Android Development] bungknees:
What's the new update? Is it both files or just one? Thanks for your hard work getting us the latest so quick.
[Xperia Z Android Development] [NUT]:
Its 'only' the flashable zip that got updated. I made sure it moves the contents of your internal storage to the new (4.2.2) storage location.

[Xperia Z Android Development] Tamirwig:
Do we need to format System before flashing it? Or just installing in a regular manner from CWM/TWRP will do the trick?

Q.

If I make a TWRP/CWM backup would It be possible to flash another ROM like CM10.1 from recovery without using Flashtool? And will it be possible to get back to this ROM if I restore the backup of your ROM from recovery without having to flash kernel or stripped.ftf with Flashtool?

I had some HTC's before and try to understand if it's similar or different once I have BU, root and recovery.

Thank you in advance!

Now after reinstall XZDualRecovery it is possibel to enter CWM or TWRP!
