To root the 534 rom I used this. After that download files from and install dual recovery. Becareful here as you are not suppose to boot your phone after installing that recovery but go direct to recovery and flash the latest rom whcih you can find here . In short

1. Download Nut's pre rooted KK rom and put it in your phone.

2. Flash 534 rom

3. Root

4. Flash dual recovery and go directly to recovery

5. flash KK rom per NUT's post.

PS - In this method Bootloader is not unlocked. So you can take a TA back up also just to be safe.

How does it connect to the phone? Via magnetic port?
[Xperia Z1 General] nifty_mats:
Yep, & magnetic port charging is better than regular port charging. Earlier, through regular port, charging used to be gud, but Notification light used to be irregular (Sometimes on, sometimes not).

No such probs now. Notification light works normally again during charging.!!
[Xperia Z1 General] guddu2011:
only problem with magnetic charging is that phone will have auto rotate on even if it is disabled in settings.. really annoying :(
[Xperia Z1 General] nifty_mats:
Nope. It doesn't. Simply bcoz its got a switch at the back to switch ON/OFF the charging. Only if u switch it on, i.e. charge the fone, then only auto-rotate is enabled. Otherwise, when the back switch is off. Auto-rotate is also OFF. In short, no auto-rotate probs !!!!![emoji1][emoji1]
[Xperia Z1 General] ravi_buz:
Anyone know where i can download the 534 (NUT's) firmware for our device? I am facing extremely high overheating and want to test if the same happens in 534.If we flash the stock 534 we wont get calls but NUT's version has a fix for that
[Xperia Z1 General] pranjaldixit:
Guys I am usinng Xperia Z1. Its not rooted and absokutely stock. The problem I am facing is that whenever I press home button the wallpaper zooms up. After it has zoomed in then everything becomes normal. That means now when I press home button it works fine. It doesnt zooms up. This zooming thing is happening with pre installed wallpapers also. Please tell me the solution. Hope to hear soon.
[Xperia Z1 General] Ashray_Vk:
What he meant was when magnetic charging is enabled, the phone screen autorotates even if auto-rotation is disabled.

Anyway, anyone know anything about any upcoming updates ?
[Xperia Z1 General] nifty_mats:
Its an inherent problem of Google's stock KitKat ROM. Google will soon release an update which will solve all these niggling issues. Basically, its present in all the phones wid KK ad its an error in KK's coding.
[Xperia Z1 General] shubhamnad:
Help needed..!!..

My camera app always hangs.. Cleared data and cache but still problem persists... :(
[Xperia Z1 General] nifty_mats:
Help!! From last night my fone is not charging. I bought the above magnetic charger cum case from ebay 3 days back. What could be the problem?:confused: Now the fone is not even starting. Its not charging at all. Dunno why.
[Xperia Z1 General] Ashray_Vk:
Try changing the kernel and try to charge or also try removing the charger from the socket for a few minutes and try Again.
[Xperia Z1 General] vshainky08:
can anyone tell me how to install paranoid android rom ?

bootloader already unlocked..

i have read the procedure just wanted to know do we need to install the kernel first then the rom ?

or just have to follow the steps written on the P.A. thread
[Xperia Z1 General] nifty_mats:
Working perfectly fine now after refusing to charge for 2 full days. I was just about to go to the Service Center when suddenly after my morning breakfast I saw that the fone had charged to 5%. Now, Its perfectly alright & has charged to 84%.[emoji1] Now I 'm scared of using the extended battery case which I had bought 3 days back. It all started after I used that case.

[MENTION=4998800]vshainky08[/MENTION] Maybe u can try downloading a Paranoid Android how to install video from Youtube. But, they generally follow what is written in the XDA threads exactly step-by-step.
[Xperia Z1 General] Gladwin_Prince:
hey guys,

i have planned to unlock my bootloader. i am currently running 4.4.2 stock (.757) firmware. i can just unlock with the current firmware or should i downgrade to 4.3. is there any problem experienced with unlocking bootloader in 4.4.2?
[Xperia Z1 General] nifty_mats:
[MENTION=4919303]Ashray_Vk[/MENTION] Downloaded an app called GSam Battery monitor & now everything is fine as usual. Charging icon is back again & charging notification lights up as usual. I'll never put on the extended battery case again. What a scare. Fone dead for 2 days. Phew..[emoji27]
[Xperia Z1 General] Ashray_Vk:
Good that your issue is fixed :)
[Xperia Z1 General] untamedsail0r:
Well I bought z1 with great expectations. but I find that camera is not even good as my Xperia s. It takes gud snaps in daylight and outdoors but in night and indoors it is really pathetic. It introduces too much noise and graininess. My brother's micromax canvas2 takes better pic than my Xperia Z1. Also I am experiencing ghost touches on screen now and then. Volume of speakers is low. Only thing which I liked is the design and form factor. Also Sony ui is great. Can someone tell me the camera settings to keep in lowlight and indoors for taking pics. Anyway I consider this phone as not a good vfm.
[Xperia Z1 General] Ashray_Vk:
Don't blame the camera of Z1 , it takes amazing pics, much better than my Xperia S .
[Xperia Z1 General] livelyyoungman:
Get it replaced. You are entitled for the same. Just ensure that you drive into the core when you take it to the service guys.
[Xperia Z1 General] crohit911:
He says he doesn't trust you..

He needs a proof.. Of screen time preferably.

Or use 3rd party app..

My phones overheating and battery is pathetic.. Don't know what caused it.

Battery doesn't charge too..

This started spontaneously.. The phone started discharging fast very fast.. And everything is uncertain

I'm going crazy.. I need an airconditioned case for my phone..
[Xperia Z1 General] m666p:
hey guys im looking to hopefully replace my z1 from a service center, im in mumbai(bandra) and i want to know from which service centers in mumbai have you gotten replacements(or repairs) and how was the experience, also my phone is about 7-8 months old with warranty i re-locked the bootloader and the reason i want to get it replaced is that the sim card slot and memory card slot just don't work anymore also the usual over-heating, touch issues and yellow tint, also there is no water damage but the phone looks a bit beat up with a ton of scratches

so if anyone has any advice on how to get a replacement(hopefully not a repair) please help...

Edit= im going to the grant road service center tomorrow so i hope its better than the andheri service centers also will post my experience there later for reference :confused: ...
[Xperia Z1 General] crohit911:
I'm using my phone inside a temperature controlled room.. battery is still draining very fast..
[Xperia Z1 General] Peaceful Droid:
Guys any one had these problems?

1) when phone is unlocked, some times, camera opens. (I know how to unlock my phone, so no way i am sliding from bottom)

2) Pressing power button opens shutdown menu but after selecting "Power Off", nothing happens. Have to do force shutdown. (Power + Vol. up)

I am on stock 4.4.2, .757. And was using magnetic charger bought from ebay.

Any one having such issue please give me any solution. Thanks.
[Xperia Z1 General] crohit911:
Magnetic charger connected to Indian railway power socket causes touchscreen issues. I have checked in many trains and station sockets.

Also if you use a screenguard make sure it's clean because they're very good at picking up dirt..
[Xperia Z1 General] ajimp2010:
All ADP replacement of Xperia are NOT new handsets

Don't ever think of damaging your phone intentionally.

Read the ADP terms carefully before this. Nowhere it is mentioned that Sony will be giving you a new one.

They are also giving a similar model, and also refurbished and repaired pieces as replacement. May be you will be braking a good one and getting a repaired one...:highfive:
[Xperia Z1 General] nifty_mats:
Just download GSam Battery monitor & see if your battery is charging or not? If the charging icon is glowing then probably its alright.

Here is the proof- [MENTION=4998800]vshainky08[/MENTION]

Last week the magnetic charging extended battery case I bought caused serious probs for me. Fone not powering on for 2 days. Also, it had a fall the same night. So, to protect myself from these niggles bought a flip cover case for my Z1.

---------- Post added at 09:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:16 AM ----------

For Ghost touches- Rub the touchscreen once-a-week with microfibre cloth dipped in water. I mean just a little bit. & then re-rub with the other side of the cloth to dry it off.

Speaker volume- Activate all the Sony volume controls like Clearaudio, etc & the speaker volume shouldn't dissapoint you!!

Regarding Camera- Its a personal issue. Depends on what you were expecting from it. Maybe somebody can answer the settings needed for good fotos as I'm not a foto freak!!
[Xperia Z1 General] m666p:
I stopped by the grant road service center as per the sony website and what i found was a shut down service center(in pics), then i called the xperia helpline which gave me the address of the functioning(new) service center close by(kinda) while wasting 20 mins of my time for the token number bullsh*t(they ask you for your name,device,address,problem,phone no,etc), then after reaching the service center and entering it a guy on the counter(first counter) asked me "sir phone check karne ke liye aaye?" i said "yes", and while talking to another person on the chair in front of him(a person who had come in with a faulty blu-ray player) he said "sir phone dej ye" and i showed him the phone and after a quick glance he said "sir bend hai!"( you can see my phone in the attached pics and decide for yourself) and after that no matter what i said "but the sd slot hasnt been working for the past 4 months , the sim slot just stopped working after i changed it with my mom's sim, the screen was always yellow, there were always touch issues when i scroll it registers taps, it always overheats to the extent that i dont even feel like playing games on it " anyways all the guy said was "sir bend hai, sir bend hai, sir bend hai...." and he didnt even offer to give me an estimate like i am some fuk*n beggar, i also called the xperia helpline after i left the service center and a guy called gaurav told me that technician is always right sir and i should basically f*ck myself!!!

and lastly im going to the andheri service centers tomorrow to see if they are any better
[Xperia Z1 General] Ashray_Vk:
I thought ADP covered physical damage like bends
[Xperia Z1 General] untamedsail0r:
Cannot make out whether it is bend or not from pics. But I think it should be covered by Accidental Damage policy. Does anyone know what are the terms for ADP. I am also planning to visit service center due to touchscreen issues. Such a waste of time and money.
[Xperia Z1 General] ron76426:
The replaceble warranty is of 1 yr or 6 months??
[Xperia Z1 General] livelyyoungman:
6 months from date of purchase.
[Xperia Z1 General] harisharun:
My z1 usb flap has cut will it be covered under warranty or have to pay?

Shall i buy it online, and will there be any import duties on it?

I contacted sony service centre and they are charging 850 rs for it, what to do?
[Xperia Z1 General] warfareonly:
Get it done from Sony Service Centre. Don't use third parties as long as you are within the warranty period.[emoji1]
[Xperia Z1 General] ravi_buz:
I see that someone mentioned Ghost Touch. I had the same issue. After using the device for 10 min the back side heats up and the device starts to move on its own (ghost touch). I had enabled "Show Touch" option in developer mode to monitor this. So finally decided to get to the service station..my device had a small scratch on it side..after examining they said that i had enabled the developer mode and thats y its happening. So they disabled and gave it to me :eek:. Then they flashed stock rom again and gave it to me :eek:. After much struggle i made them realise that its a hardware issue. They checked and told that its an issue with the phone but cant fix it as i have the scratch and asked me to pay 20k to get a new phone. Fought with them for 1 month to make them understand and finally they gave me a new phone for free..

All the best for your struggle. Also the accidental policy is very very tricky and dosnt cover most of the damage that will happen.
[Xperia Z1 General] ron76426:
Surely will adapt your fighting spirit ?
[Xperia Z1 General] untamedsail0r:
Why we have to fight so much after paying this much amount of money for their flagship phone. I am using sony phones are since 2003 including w300i and w595 models but never have been disappointed like this
[Xperia Z1 General] vshainky08:
Guys i got a problem..

The camera button is only launching the camera and it is not capturing pics from it. I m able to capture from

touch capture button.

Can anyone tell my what could be the problem or should i go to the service centre?
[Xperia Z1 General] Ashray_Vk:
Meddle with the camera settings, you'll find your answer there most probably
[Xperia Z1 General] vshainky08:
tried everything.. there is nothing in camera settings...

its not working in superior auto, manual mode, creative effects and sweep panorama while its working in timeshift burst, ar effect and info eye :-/
[Xperia Z1 General] drvinny:
did stupid mistake!!!!.....

guys im screwed up.......my cam gone.......

i did bootloader unlock in previous build .534.......and my cam stopped working....

im rooted now relocked on ihackers....no cam doesnt work.....

isnt ther any way to correct this issue......

eventhough they mentioned this warning in official sony site.....abt camera issue.......but i just mistakenly unlocked.....without knowing abt that.....

now i cant claim warranty too....

what to do?..

any helpers?...
[Xperia Z1 General] 301stSpartan:
Did you make a TA backup before you unlocked the bootloader? If so, then just go back to stock and restore it (relocks the bootloader and restores your DRM keys). If not, well then you should read more carefully next time.

However, if you go to the newer stock firmwares I believe your camera will work again as you don't need the DRM keys to use the camera on 4.4 builds.
[Xperia Z1 General] Peaceful Droid:
Guys any one received 4.4.4 update? As on Sony India site Latest available software is 14.4.A.0.108... LINK
[Xperia Z1 General] drvinny:
Actually......i tried TA back up many times.........but evry time it failed......then i forgot abt the camera warning......and unlocked the bootloader.....then realised but only to see my camera not warning it was too late.....:eek::confused:

Now i have wait till the new solution or as u mentioned new latest firmware.....

Anyways thanx....

---------- Post added at 04:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:11 PM ----------

But i can use front cam and A R effect......

Really wonder hws that possible

.....
[Xperia Z1 General] 301stSpartan:
I'm pretty sure if you go back to the most recent several firmwares it should work. Been fixed since 4.3. You said you went to 534 to unlock but what are you on now? Go to the most recent current firmware
[Xperia Z1 General] drvinny:
U mean i can flash the latest available ftf ie:.757.stock....using flashtool..... And evruthing wil b fine........

I can fladh over this ihackers rom......with stock kernel?....and baseband...
[Xperia Z1 General] noobz1:
Yes, flash any firmware 4.3 or above... Your camera will be fine :)
[Xperia Z1 General] drvinny:
One more thing i relocked using flashtool....so mine now

Rooted,relocked,ihackers...with stock kernel and baseband.....

Downloaded latest ftf. 757

Now i can dirctly flash using flashtool.....

If ok...il do it n report..

[Xperia Z1 General] japjit100:
You check the yellow tint in screen?
[Xperia Z1 General] ambition8753:
yups,,, no yellow tint.
[Xperia Z1 General] nishant786:
Hey can you please do me a favor. Can you test the camera on text. Because with me all photos are blurred but with text it's just horrible. Worse than a Nokia 7650. Text cannot be seen at all. I'm coming from a HTC One too.

If yours is proper will go to a service centre.

Thanks.

I got my Z1. Display is not too great. Many software glitches
[Xperia Z1 General] DeathlessOne:
Oh my boy, it's overheating as hell :( Not yet updated, does .531 fix this issue?
[Xperia Z1 General] Dpk1:
Congrats on your new purchase! Yes the Z1 heats up, mine reaches 42 deg C battery temp while benchmarking or using 3G via chrome. Don't worry the temps do come down after few battery recharge cycles. But at present it runs warmer than XZ on latest rom.

Yeah software is buggy currently! Screen not turning on sometimes, heating, battery consumption could be optimised, proximity sensor buggy (esp while using flip case) etc. I hope sony fixes these asap. Display is great imo.

[MENTION=535343]all[/MENTION].. BTW, what is this yellow tint everyone is going on about? I assume a yellowish hue on the screen seen on any white background. Or is it the slightly yellowish tint on the bottom of screen like Xperia S had? Coz, mine doesn't seem to have any compared to XZ or Note3. Even Note3 screen seems bit yellowish compared to Z1 (checked using crome browser white background).
[Xperia Z1 General] DeathlessOne:
Thank you Deepak, hope it improves after some cycles. I feel it so hot when compared to that of Z which I had been using until noon and didn't find a hint of heat underneath!! Lemme try the update now!
[Xperia Z1 General] japjit100:
woohoo i got black one :D:D:D

Display review, please!!

Japjit and everyone else who got it...

PROPER DISPLAY REVIEW PLEASE!!

Still haven't been able to get a hands-on... not well... :( :crying:

basically... anyone who thinks its the same as Xperia Z's display? or is it better? "way way way better"??

as good as the Z Ultra's display??

Thanks!
[Xperia Z1 General] xyagnesh.davex:
Frm where did you got that deal bro ?

flipkart or local market ?

and please someone review battery backup and Display ?
[Xperia Z1 General] japjit100:
The screen looks very good in case you seeing video on it it

If I compare with s4 or HTC one screen z1 have better screen

Screen have little yellow tint but it is very little if you don't compare you can't see the tint in screen

Viewing angle is ok not bad I say

I Think viewing is not a problem

S4 have very saturated screen personally I don't like it

HTC one have good screen but it have so many issues in device

If you compare with Xperia z

1thing I tell you silver becomes gold

I will give z1 screen 10out of 9

If you are thinking the screen is not good you are wrong first see demo than decide
[Xperia Z1 General] japjit100:
My screen have yellow tint ?

Guy you can compare z1 screen with any other phone screen

Please Guys help me.

Please. Compare. Your z1:confused:
[Xperia Z1 General] li_boud:
Got this baby 5 days ago..

It's not same as XZ's display.. It is far superior than Z or S4. It's very crisp and responsive. View angle is not too great, colors seems to be washed out if viewed from an angle, but that should not be a problem because its not a TV after all. Colors are very natural and images look really good. I dont see any yellow tint but then again, I dont have a very keen eye..

I have switched to Z1 from Galaxy Note, and I can say that I'm very pleased with the phone.. There is very little wrong with this phone, and that places it at the top of entire Android line up, imo.

I got same goodies from local dealer, in Delhi @ 40,999 + Philips 4.1 speakers @ 1200 Additional.

no news of 4.4.4 for c6902??
[Xperia Z1 General] ravi_buz:
With 108 around the corner and an easy root option available for it i am thinking of going pure stock again. Currently i have Unlocked bootloader +deodex + doom kerner. All these hamper the phones battery and performance. So i was thinking of going pure stock when 108 is released for us. What method is safest? I no for sure that PCC wont help since i have a custom kernel. Can i just flash 108 via flashtool and go stock. I am fine with leaving the bootloader unlocked.
[Xperia Z1 General] noobz1:
I am not sure about the performance issues you have talkw about but YES, you can flash. 108 FTF n go stock.

I have done it many times as my bootloader unlocked and my TA backup is lost :P
[Xperia Z1 General] ravi_buz:
Any idea how to flash stock kernel alone? I currently have doom's kernel and want to flash and see if my phone performs better.
[Xperia Z1 General] noobz1:
Normally all the FTFs contain kernel also, so while flashing in flashtool you can opt to flash only kernel.

Or may be you can search for kernel image and flash it but first method is easier I guess.
[Xperia Z1 General] Gladwin_Prince:
Usually We get the updates on the day it is released, but why is this update delaying???:(
[Xperia Z1 General] :
Update for C6902 has started. They have updates for C6902 global generis.

What is the Stability & Battery life? Is it better than .757?

P.S.: Just got the OTA link on my phone. It was pretty damn fast this time(Only 3-4 days). Normally, we OTA guys have to wait for a month at least.

Update: Heard the .108 update is amazing. The best till now! Z1's stopped using the battery at all. Cam's now a god. 20.7mp had all s/w related probs before which has been corrected now. Overall, a MUST HAVE.
