OK , first this might sound a bit harsh but you have really got yourself into a mess and here is why

1. once you rebuilt the phone and it wasn't working you should not have started flashing as all this has done is complicate the issue

2. A few drops of water is likely not the cause of the phone not starting after rebuild (I assume you dripped some sweat onto it), the error you experienced is more likely something wrong with your re-assembly

your aim now is to try and get back to 3 beeps by flashing the correct firmware but since you had issue before the flashing process there is no telling if it is even flashable but that is what I would concentrate on (get it back to a known state "3 beeps" and then check the assembly)

The phone will boot up without many of the devices like cameras etc, the main base to get to is the screen attached to the motherboard - battery inserted having checked the flat cable connection from the screen to the MB, even then it should probably boot without that attached too (just no display obviously) motherboard and battery only should boot - sounds weird but ............. a cable incorrectly plugged in may cause an error you describe

what would I do if in your position, well it depends on what you want at the end and the risk you want to take, if you have completely bricked it then a motherboard is the only answer, you could buy a phone with a broken screen and move the MB from that one to your working screen or visceversa, you could very well end up with a bunch of parts with nothing working or you could just buy a secondhand Z1 and move on (low risk)

I have dismantled and rebuilt several Z1 phones - a few screen replacements and a faulty main camera, the secret is taking your time and checking everything (powering on) at each stage to check your work, I then run the phones for a few days before doing the final assembly and seal up, the big issue you made for yourself was starting to mess with flashing firmware before you got the main basics working - this just complicated everything to were you don't know what is working and what is not

My advice would be - buy a secondhand phone and keep your current one as spare parts or sell it on

[Xperia Z1 General] cocchiararo:
Hi, i am new to this phone (not to phones or android tho :P, been here since Moto Milestone and i had many devices already, but this is my first Sony).

Which firmware is the newest one ?

I have downloaded:

C6903_14.1.G.2.257_Generic DK 1276-1249-R7A (from a post here)

C6903_14.1.G.2.257_GLOBAL-LTE (1277-1398) (from somewhere else i guess)

Then there are the 2 on the first post here.

I see that the version is the same, but then they have different names and more numbers, and i want the newst one, right?

auto update on my phone left me with:

14.1.G.1.543

I have yet to root it or install my stuff. (already downloaded both root programs, deciding which one to use now, and waiting for flashtool to download)
[Xperia Z1 General] gregbradley:
They are the same as far as "newest" gies. The extra numbers just refer to which region/branding they are. Just the FW version numbers tell you which is newest, higher numbers and higher letters are newer working left to right just as our number system does
[Xperia Z1 General] cocchiararo:
So, i can pick any one and they will be the same?

I obviusly preffer unbranded stuff.

I am from Argentina (south america), but there are no roms for our region (at least that's what i am used to :P )
[Xperia Z1 General] gregbradley:
Yes, but go for a region you are in as sometimes the baseband (Radio frequencies) differ slightly from region to region.

Apart from that they are the same
[Xperia Z1 General] cocchiararo:
Right now i have GSM and 3G available.

There is no LTE in Argentina, and there wont be in this century i believe :P

My baseband is 8974-AAAANAZQ-10220006-18

Do you know which of the newer ones has a "similar" one? (talking about bands of course)

Also, this might not be acurate, but do i care about that if 4G is not available here ? :P
[Xperia Z1 General] gregbradley:
Just flash any of them...you can always "force" a repair through the official sony PCCompanion to your specific region if it goes wrong. Don't woryy, just give it a go
[Xperia Z1 General] stealthj:
Im in California on T-Mobile. I orderd my phone from amazon and my phone came with HK firmware. it came with some random stuff. I flashed the DK firmware and noticed when it is connected to LTE, it no longer says LTE, it says 4G instead, which is kind of better since I uwas used to my nexus 4 saying 4G when it was on LTE. I've reverted back though because it seemed to slow my internet connection speeds??? or maybe thats just me....

[Xperia Z1 General] Sean473:
Listen, it seems if you use the UK firmware, the LTE icon comes as 4G while for the other firmwares, LTE shows as LTE :D Your speeds shouldn't drop or anything due to this :D

UK, EE Branded 534 ftf (1276-2219_R9A). :)

The guide mentions omitting simlock.ta and preset1.ta from the ftf creation. I couldn't find preset1.ta, but there was a file called custreset.ta (or similar).

As I'm relatively sure anything TA related is specific to a particular handset, I didn't want to include custreset.ta. Have I got my wires crossed? Bad move? I can create again if needed.
[Xperia Z1 General] Daelyn:
I couldn't find any simlock or preset file either, but Custreset.ta is present in my created Generic SE. I suppose my FTF can't contain device specific info (DRM and other unique info) but to be sure, untick TA when flashing with it.

As I said you are doing something wrong.

I will help you.

Start flashtool. Click the lightning symbol in the upper left corner. Select flash mode. Now under source folder you see the path where flashtool expects the ftf files. Click the three dots to change and navigate to the folder where you placed your downloaded files. Select the folder. Now on the left side you should see your firmwares listed.

Good luck.

[Xperia Z1 General] inspir3:
among the generic versions, the only difference is the bands they use, specifically for LTE. Check on wikipedia which LTE bands are used in India, and then try to search the custamization version (e.g. 1277-2880) which supports the bands for India. And if you don't use LTE then you might as well pick any of them and happily use it :) good luck!

Adrenaline™ Boost

Description

This script act like an nitro boost for your Android.

It helps you to clear your system cache, get more free ram for you and gravely boost your phone's performance !

*Best use before gaming !

How it works?

Your phone's ram usage will get higher and higher everyday then you will find your ace become an [MENTION=237736]SS[/MENTION] because it's turtle speed and only reboot fix this problem.

Our android os create system cache everyday, but after one day or so, those old caches are not longer in use but the os continuously create newer cache that's why the ram get heavier and heavier everyday !

Adrenaline Boost help you to clear those caches ! So you won't have to reboot again !

For those who have sharp eyes may find your battery life decreased. WHY?

Adrenaline Boost clear your system cache and your cpu will work harder to build back needed cache.

Some have reported to me that the Opera browser crash after boost when open over 3 tabs.

You system need caches to work , this boost is intended to clear old cache that are no longer using and let the system to build new cache, so if u boost it too often , your cpu will be very busy building needed caches and may consume more battery than normal !

Boost it only when it's needed then there will be no problem !

How To Install ?

1) Download from the attachment below

2) Put into your sdcard

3) Reboot into CWM

4) Mounts /system

5) Flash it

6) Reboot

How to Use It?

1) Open terminal emulator

2) Type :su [hit enter]

:boost [hit enter]

How to uninstall adrenaline boost

just flash uninstaller
