Please could someone try and help me -

I have unlocked my bootloader using Flashtool and checked using the service menu which confirms it is unlocked.

I then root my phone using Flashtool again by flicking between Kernel 10.3.A.0.423 and back to 10.3.1.A.0.244.

I then use the XZDualRecovery to install a custom recovery.

I have then copied the Google Play Edition to my SD card and here I have tried to different methods as I wasn't sure. 1) flash boot.img using CMD prompts on the PC and 2) flashing the .zip via custom recovery but both seem to result in a similar output - a knackered phone which is either stuck in a boot loop or just vibrates when trying to turn on.

Please can someone help me and tell me where I am going wrong.

Thanks

James

Did you wipe everything before flashing rom? If u have already unlocked bl then why did you install rec as if you were still on locked bl, you could install another kernel ex. Doomkernel, which has already recovery...

[Xperia Z Android Development] lilpee69er:
Ok, that is obviously one area I may be going wrong - so if I Unlocked the Bootloader and then use flashtool to Kernel 10.3.A.0.423 - then root the phone - and then flashtool back to z-doomkernel v9?.

Thanks for the reply, much appreciated.

James
[Xperia Z Android Development] Bairei:
Just wipe everything (system, data, cache...), flash this rom, flash kernel (attached with zip or in OP) in fastboot and it should boot properly

Thank you for you help. I have managed to install Google Play Edition now and I am really enjoying it.

The one problem I seem to have is only having 3G where I used to have H in certain places. Any known fix for this?

Thanks
[Xperia Z Android Development] wawyed:
H is based on 3G. It might just be a different icon.
[Xperia Z Android Development] globiboulga:
I'd be nice to clearly state that this ROM is for unlocked bootloader only. I happily flashed in recovery and can't flash the boot.img so stuck with a phone that can't even go back to CWM to restore my backup.
[Xperia Z Android Development] heubergen:
It should be clearly that a ROM that needed to flash a kernel, requirement that the bootloader are unlocked.

And because the recovery problem:
[Xperia Z Android Development] DesertHawk:
aha. well no AOSP ROM says for unlocked bootloader and the fact billions of posts about it shows you didnt read the thread cause its pretty much on every page.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Kiko_1272:
Question - Is this obsolete now or am I missing something?

"- How to have root access

> Download this flashable zip; Click Here

> Copy to internal storage

> Boot into recovery and flash the zip

> Reboot System

> Profit?! "

Since there is no Recovery after you have installed/booted into the ROM.

If otherwise what Recovery is actually compatible?
[Xperia Z Android Development] shoey63:
Fard's or Pabx's kernels work with this ROM plus they have recovery.

I can repack your kernel with Philz touch CWM Recovery if you like...
[Xperia Z Android Development] DesertHawk:
Sure man :P

[MENTION=4962997]StarFighter[/MENTION] (and anyone who wants it), here is the boot.img from your ROM repacked with Philz CWM touch recovery.

I use my phone right now and can't see any screenshots.. Are there any ?
[Xperia Z Android Development] DesertHawk:
Updated?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Soulfly1976:
Changelog for version3?

Give me a good reason to unlock my boatload and try your ROM. Looks nice actually.
[Xperia Z Android Development] DesertHawk:
Reason - It looks nice. And another one is why be boring and unlock it so you can try a range of ROMs. Added recovery with this build thannks to shoey63
[Xperia Z Android Development] Soulfly1976:
I'm downloading it. Gonna look what's in it. I do fund keeping things simple. How about Is it possible to use doomlords kernel or should I stick with the provided?

This use official sony resources?

Would love AOSP , but don't won't loose the awesome Sony camera App.

:'/
[Xperia Z Android Development] heubergen:
No, thats ROM based on the Samsung Galaxy S III Android 4.3 Leak Firmware.

In the end you will not find some changes to the offical AOSP Source.

For the new V3 of this ROM, am I to flash the boot.IMG before flashing the rom or after flashing the ROM please.
[Xperia Z Android Development] shoey63:
If you have recovery, just flash through that. If not, flash boot.img first
[Xperia Z Android Development] hidekazu0209:
Unlock
[Xperia Z Android Development] SleemLDJ:
Just to confirm my doubts. This ROM is pure AOSP and no codes from CM. Right?
[Xperia Z Android Development] shoey63:
Yeah, pure AOSP.
[Xperia Z Android Development] SleemLDJ:
Just installed and running smooth. Added stuffs with gravity box.
[Xperia Z Android Development] -WP7User-:
Just a little question as I didn't quite understand the informations given by the OP - are PIE and Halo already included in this Rom or is the OP intending to add it sometime in the future? Because with PIE and Halo included, this would be a very interesting Rom for me to check out, because I kinda want those two features as they're very useful, but at the same time, I wanna stay as close to stock Android as possible.

Thanks for your answers =)
[Xperia Z Android Development] :
Are you going to port Android 4.4 KitKat to the Xperia Z?

@mcteague, flash BootImgGP.zip straight after flashing the ROM. It has Philz CWM Touch Advanced Edition recovery.

I don't get what you are saying but if your bootloader status unlocked allowed=no then you can't unlock for good.
[Xperia Z Android Development] alnikki25k:
No no. This was with respect to the bug Mr.Droid had posted. Additionally, I also updated the kernel to 3.4.52 and the latest prima drivers from Sony.
[Xperia Z Android Development] DesertHawk:
And it works well with this ROM?
[Xperia Z Android Development] alnikki25k:
Works perfectly. No problems so far. You're welcome to try it.
[Xperia Z Android Development] DesertHawk:
Am I welcome to use it for next builds?

Just flashed the Pac boot.img and it boots and UV and Fast charge works

Thanks !

now need smaller navigation button

I'll add more features to the kernel as soon as I can.

Could this be ported to the ZL? I'm positive the guys over there would love to test this out (I know I wouldn't mind).

[Xperia Z Android Development] shoey63:
Why? Just wipe everything in recovery, and then flash;)
[Xperia Z Android Development] DesertHawk:
You need to flash the IMG if you are coming from stock / stock kernel based ROMS. If your on anything else it's fine

Some questions about "4.3"

Firstly i'm just curious why does it have the CM logo for usb debugging?

Not to offend you or your work but has anyone actually tested this and checked it's not just a faked 4.2.2 rom with a changed build prop and a few tiny changes to mimic the GS4 GPE leak.

Thanks anyway.
[Xperia Z Android Development] DesertHawk:
Cause i had to use some Cyan stuff to make this work. Thats how you port ROMs. Use something that works on your device and then put the 'ported' things in it. Well thats what Torxx told me and it seemed to work. I guess we have skeptical people everywhere. Anyway, new version coming now so yeah... Hopefully it will have less bugs.

I used some resource from CM, Some from Sony AOSP and most from GE One and S4.
[Xperia Z Android Development] alnikki25k:
Read the leaked 4.3 features. Except the WiFi settings, this version has everything listed there.
[Xperia Z Android Development] shoey63:
Just flashed it, love it, and going all the way with it. Amazing effort for a Beta build. Congrats [MENTION=4962997]Taylor_Swift[/MENTION]. :beer:
[Xperia Z Android Development] DesertHawk:
Yeah WiFi settings ruined the ROM lol. Anyway, Just wait for the next version... The one I'm using it much better

Edit - If you want WiFi settings and all that I can do it. But it will FC like half of the ROM does.
[Xperia Z Android Development] alnikki25k:
Lol. Better to have most things working than have the petty new Wifi features. It seems like that's only going to help you with location with Wifi. But I am pretty happy with the current method of triangulating your location.
[Xperia Z Android Development] DesertHawk:
What the hell is this?
[Xperia Z Android Development] DesertHawk:
Can you give me sometime for the new version. I am working with [MENTION=4340984]krabappel2548[/MENTION] to fix bugs. I just needed this thread so you lot can give them to me as I had a locked BL phone and the testers weren't much help. No offence. Thanks all.
[Xperia Z Android Development] greglord:
And another quote from you:

I don't get it? How did you managed to get "AOSP" + CM (which clearly needs unofficial kernel (which, by the way, you can only put on UB device) on locked bootloader phone?

I don't want to burst anyone's bubble but as someone found everything suspicious, so do actually I. Hope I'm really wrong :eek:
[Xperia Z Android Development] DesertHawk:
You are wrong
[Xperia Z Android Development] DesertHawk:
Ditched Nexus 4 build and now using 4.3 from Google Source. It all seems good. However the ROM is lacking a recovery, im not an expert on that front so if DoomLord or who ever can help that would be great.
[Xperia Z Android Development] DesertHawk:
Last thing sorry... If someone wants to do a video review that would be great. Also please note I am not uploading it as of yet until I get one or two things sorted.
[Xperia Z Android Development] alessa:

[Xperia Z Android Development] alessa:

[Xperia Z Android Development] ajbattaglia83:
This is amazing!!!
[Xperia Z Android Development] sangreal:
Why is it ? What do you personally get over 4.2.2 to make it so amazing? These are incremental updates and the main update in 4.3- Bluetooth 4.0 and smart/LE isnt working on this ROM - so why do you find it so amazing?
[Xperia Z Android Development] alessa:
what are known bug? the recovery is available?

[Xperia Z Android Development] sangreal:
No worries and I didnt mean to sound like a t*** earlier its just that we are so far behind due to Google slacking with Bluetooth 4 its pathetic. Your work and pabx in particular are much appreciated bringing us this ROM but I can't say I have a semi yet unlike the guy in the other post. Give me Bluetooth LE and then its a different story. :p
[Xperia Z Android Development] DesertHawk:
No worries. Let's just wait for CyanogenMod... As soon as CM is released no one will care about this ROM cause Cyan is much better than AOSP
[Xperia Z Android Development] sangreal:
True. How is MIUI going anyway - would love to see that on my phone, cant believe the HTC One got it first - you and alnikki25k almost there? That would make my year totally,
