Thanks Simow, I just thought that on a custom ROM, you wouldn't get system updates/OTA's. It has never happened to me on any other phone with a custom ROM.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] :
you do not need to have the update center working if you have XDA :) everything will be available here! i don't even use that update center anyways. you're welcome :)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] lbaquerizo:
You can get system updates in a custom Rom. In this ROM no but in others yes. In my S2 with Omega Rom and in my HTC One with Eragon SD Rom.

By the way some people may get the wrong idea but in KK if you have LB your recovery won't work (backups or restore or flashing)

Bugs in volume, battery issue and heatings issue, so to those out there I will recommend stay in 4.3 until the issue is solved or NUT finds a solution.

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] stopcallin:
Hi guys. I'm on RomAur 6.1 C6903 with UB. Both my camera works and can focus.

However I've found that starting of the camera application / switching front and back camera is completely slow. It takes around 5 or more second to switch and black screen stayed before switched. Plus i got camera unavailable once when pressing the switch of back and front camera quickly.

Can someone help me or did you occur this too ? It's much slower than in jellybean though.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] jobangill99:
any other way for installing on c6902 ? because i dont want to download the whole .ftf just because kernel and baseband.......i have slow internet connection:(:(:( flashtool could not open the striffed ftf ,,gave error1
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Fiso:
I get a weird echoing whenever i switch to speaker mode while in a call. Is it the rom's fault or is it mine?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] adam20115:
If you want recovery working on LB then go to NUT's KK rooted rom page and download the latest recovery and it will now mount I'm TWRP, CWM and Philz :)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] sammjoy:

battery mods with gravitybox

i'm on C6903 UB. tried some battery mods with gravitybox. after rebooting, two battery indicators appeared, including the original white one. any fix?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] POWER1FM:
I flashed 6.1 with the latest recovery I have full root and system rw but when I press volume up/down on green light I can't access recovery..... :(
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] deconfrost:
I wait till more confirmation on recovery update, I tried to install it when I first flashed v6 and after several attempt to install recovery, I lost root completely and had to go back form scratch..... phone works fine since and haven't tried to install recovery yet.... what I learnt the most from xda is, if you can't fix the error yourself.... be patient :) if you don't have the patients you gonna have to have the skills required..... I face the fact I'm not good enough to fix it and I'm happy to wait :)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Naruyasha:
No good! I lost recovery too, even after flashing the latest Z1-lockeddualrecovery2.7.99 flasheable zip I got nothing, the phone reboots but I still have no recovery and I seem to have partial root only now :/ SuperSU wont update the SU binary either :(
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Kelvin0007:
Did you applied the fix for chargemon file in Dualrecovery OP before flashing Z1-lockeddualrecovery2.7.99 flasheable zip and after flashing rom?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] lbaquerizo:
Still on 4.3 until those issues are fixed. No complaints right now this version is very good.

Yes, That's right.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] lbaquerizo:

Mandatory doesn't mean optional but the other way around. But identify know the answer to your question.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Fenix:
Sometimes my screen goes bannanas. Any idea why?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] :
For all of you who had problems with the recovery after updating to 6.1 here's what i have done if you still with the 6.0 and a working recovery just go to NUT thread and dowanload the latest BETA flashable and place it on your sdcard, then go to recovery do not wipe anything i repeat do not wipe anything. Flash your rom without choosing the wiping option on aroma also. Continue like that once you are done. Flash the latest recovery placed on your sd and reboot. That's all and believe me you wont have any problem im on LB and i still have the recovery and root also. Good luck
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] blud7:
Only Doomlord's v2 kernel works for me. The rest cause phone not to boot :-/

Dual Recovery is a no go here.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] togcbu:
power off in the power menu doesn't work.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] loveninecube:
Did you flash some stock kernel after locked bootloader?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] gantscha:
For me the camera will Not Focus and therefore will Not make any pictures came from cm11, unlocked bootloader, rooted - any clue for me?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] blud7:
(Assuming you backed up your TA)

Back up TA to save UB state.

Flash your original TA and then reboot.

You will now be on locked bootloader.

Verify that camera works.

Flash backed up TA to get back to UB.

Don't reboot, but power off

Flash Doomlord's v2 kernel from fastboot /flashtool to get working recovery.

Reboot.

Steps 5-8 aren't necessary if you don't want working recovery.

Makes me feel more comfortable though.

This is what I did. My own procedure. Works for me.

Nope.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] zhuoyang:
Try my method,

1. Flash a complete .681 ftf

2. confirm that camera works

3. Flash doomlord's kernel using fastboot

4. Flash any .681 rom you want in recovery

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Naruyasha:
Is my Z1 a piece of crap or what? I'm on RomAur 6.0 I lost recovery and partially rooted I flashed the latest recovery Z1-locked dual recovery 2.7.100 the phone reboots, the computer says to enjoy the recovery but then the phone boots normally, I still have no recovery at all... also the camera doesn't work. Btw my bootloader is locked so I don't know why my camera won't work, when I take a picture it says "camera not available" and FC :rolleyes:
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] auras76:

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] adryanodej:

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] lil-diabo:

Is it going to be an incremental update or a complete new flash?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] 7sen:
if coming from NUT rom 4.4 do full wipe ! or only system

i need the data :crying:
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] auras76:
full wipe recomended.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] adam20115:
Yeah it's working on all KitKat ROMs. If you go onto the page where it tells you about the recovery theres a section for RomAur users :)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] ahasae:
is increasing volume sound safe for speakers ??
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] gioiellino:
MEGA upload please for 6.2..... thank youuu
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] :
Just go to recovery and flash without wiping anything not on recovery and neither from aroma. And you'll keep the apps thats what i have done since 6.0
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] snigglets:

Sr for my bad English
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] auras76:
Coming from jb or kk?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Fenix:
Coming from 6.0, UB, do I need wipe?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] auras76:
If you have doom kernel,try to make a full wipe.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] zibiksior:
Could you guys tell me what is the install procedure of this rom? Im on LB and tried already few times. First time i lost root and recovery. Next time I flashed recovery after flashing rom but phones is stuck on bootloop... What should I do more. Im comming from .534 because I had to start from fresh flash.

I already did this:

-flash .534 and root

-install recovery 2.7.100

-full wipe and installing RomAur 6.2

-flash recovery 2.7.100

-flash .ftf file with kernel

-reboot=bootloop
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] tuancanlc94:
come from 4.2.2 :P

This way I follow:

Flash fw 1.534

install recovery

Wipe all and flash 6.2 and recovery

Power off and flash 0.681

Do I wrong some thing?

Sr for my bad English again :P
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Klaus N.:
@tuancanlc94

To be on the safe side, I'd flash this before flashing [NUT]'s Recovery/Kernel: http://nut.xperia-files.com/download.php?dlid=WFpEUl9ST01BVVJfZml4LnppcA==

(especially to avoid bootloops)

Apart from that, go on, as in the startpost described...
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] zibiksior:
I already tried flashing that and it didn't work...
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Klaus N.:
@zibiksior

I'd flash the RomAur.fix again, followed by flashing [NUT]'s latest XZDR-Kernel.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] zibiksior:
So I have to:

-flash XZDR-Kernel

-than flash RomAur.fix

-and flash dualRecovery

or skip last step?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Klaus N.:
No, as I described: RomAur.fix, then the XZDR-kernel (recovery is already included), then try to reboot...
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Fenix:
Installed 6.2 with wipe, looks good so far.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] auras76:
With this should be working.

Flash. 534 ftf

Install dualrecovery 2.7.94

Install v6.2

Flash dualrecovery 2.7.100

Power off and flash. 681 kernel.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] auras76:
Not need romaur fix for v6.x lb.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Klaus N.:
@auras76

thanks, I'm on ub and have no experiences with the to-do on lb :)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] auras76:
Install romaur (choose c6903lb if you have stock kernel)

Install dualrecovery 2.7.100.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] auras76:
Flash doom kernel. 681

Flash romaur.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] zibiksior:
I saw it too late, but I can say that with the fix its not working. I will try in a minute that what you wrote.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] auras76:
If you have ub?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Klaus N.:
No, I don't want to. Why should I? I don't want CWM, but Philz respectively TWRP. And the XZDR-Kernel (v.2.7.100) works good on ub ;)

My last post was related to your post and the post of the user zibiksior... :)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] zibiksior:
No I have LB. I will do this like wrote earlier:

Flash. 534 ftf

Install dualrecovery 2.7.94

Install v6.2

Flash dualrecovery 2.7.100

Power off and flash. 681 kernel.

Two questions it has to be 2.7.94? Flash trought CWM or TWRP?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] auras76:
From pc,and choose option 3 for unrooted rom.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] auras76:
Its ok too.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] zibiksior:
Yes I know but that^^ but RomAur should I flash throught CWM or TWRP?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Ahki767:
I just flashed this rom yesterday and everything is working fine. These are the steps I did;

Flashed .534 ftf excluding TA

Root with vroot

Restore my ta backup ( i was on an unlocked bootloader previously )

Installed recovery with 2.7.100 installer

Flashed rom with full wipe

Flashed recovery 2.7.100

When powering off phone, it asked if I wanted to fix recovery and I clicked no

Finally, I installed kernel and baseband

[MENTION=2112104]auras76[/MENTION]

How do i upgrade to 6.2 coming from 6.1?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] zibiksior:
Sorry guys but anything is helping for me, every time bootloop...:( [MENTION=2112104]auras76[/MENTION] I noticed one thing when flashing. In Aroma installer after setting permission there is some message that "some changes failed" maybe its something with that?? Installer says that rom was instaled successfully in next page.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] POWER1FM:
Maybe bad download? Try to re download the rom! :)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] :
There's something weird with the v6.2 i have flashed like twice the ROM and i still got at the end bootloop -_-"
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] auras76:
Check the md5.not should apear this message.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] auras76:
Its installing without any error on aroma?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] :
yes without any error

EDIT: no problems with 6.1
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] xiaofeng1712:

I see a message when installing Rom: "some changes failed. meta_data..." :crying:

I test on 6.1, no message and normal boot.

i follow your method with 6.2 and no result except for 6.0 and 6.1.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] paullu:
anyone can tell me it show lte or 4g icon on the right top of phone?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] hypergamer1231:
I am on ROMAUR 6.1 LB working awesome and loving is do I still need to update to 6.2???
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] RealisticRealisations:
So I just installed 6.2 and I love it so much. Great ROM. Thanks man.

Works flawlessly EXCEPT for one tiny little thing.

I can't change my volume. Whenever I'm using the volume buttons to change music (even using the in-app volume control) whatever app is at the foreground will instantly crash and have to be restarted. This also includes the launchers.

I have no explanation for this. I managed to change it once after flashing the ROM but since then no luck. I'm running the Xposed framework w/ a few addons but none that interfere with the volume.

I DID install the volume enhancements inside the Aroma installer but have since changed the music effects to Volume+ which didn't work either (keeps insta-crashing whatever is in the foreground).

Will try another build later on w/o the sound enhancements and give an update.

Seriously great ROM though. Keep up the great work.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] everydayedin:
Somebody ! Help me ! I'm new to Xperia Device. My previous was S2.

After wiped system and installed the ROM via Aroma installer, I couldn't flash the required kernel via flashtool.

It says " remoted command not allowed "

My phone is now stuck at Bootloop with Sony Logo.

What am I missing ? Really appreciate your help.

Spec : Rooted Xperia Z1 C6903, Locked Bootloader.

Edit : After trying for the 3rd time. I have managed to follow the instruction but I'm still stuck at flashtool.

As for this time, I couldn't flash the required kernel with the msg : cannot open bundle. flash operation canceled

I'm stucking at Bootloop again.

By any chance is there any way to backup and restore the fully rooted Z1 system? I getting hard of having to begin again and again every time I'm stucking at the bootloop.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] lbaquerizo:
You should flash after the Rom, after that the recovery that I have that is posted a few pages back or in NUTs Thread . Then turn off the phone with FlashTool flash the respective stripped FTF.

In recover do a factory reset and when flashing the rom also chek a full wipe. Turn off the phone and follow procedure.

I was in V5 and now I am in V6.2 and pretty happy with the results. A very fine Rom no problems, recovery works I checked backup and restore on LB so if you do all the wipes you should be fine.

Just in case if and only if you loose root the sadly is a trip back to. 534 FTF and do the root all over and then come back to this rom.

Hope I gave help to solve your issue.

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] :
My problem here is i dont get any of the errors you've mentioned, instead i flashed from 534 and installed recovery and then flashed 6.2 and flashed latest recovery and then powered off the device and flashed the kernel using flashtool! im on LB. and i get a sony logo bootloop it keeps restarting more and more! anyways i'll try to find some solution, i didnt have any problems with the 6.1 since i have tried it also after several tests with 6.2! anyways hope that [MENTION=2112104]auras76[/MENTION] will figure it out
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Ahki767:
Wanted to flash 6.2 but guess I`ll wait since everyone seems to be having problems with it. Maybe it's something to do with the updater-script
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Chain@xda:
Are they the same file?

I found that the tft file in post is Xperia Z1 Kernel C6902_14.3.A.0.681.ftf 11.1 MB

I will take a look on this now.

FLASH ONLY ON TWRP
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] trahzebuck:
Just to let you know: I came from Rooted Stock 4.4 with DoomLord Kernel (UB of course), flashed RomAur v6.2 dirty. wiped only cache and dalvik.

No issues at all. Good job, man!

A cosmetically topic: now I've a 4G symbol instead of a LTE symbol. Doesn't really matter. :o
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] TheCornInGrove:
I exactly got the same problem as simow.b

I used TWRP, yes
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] auras76:
i have tested again right now on lb and all its working ok.

You are using dualrecovery 2.7.100?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] :
i am doing some flash again i'll report back if my method will work now!

1st REPORT:

Flashing 534 and installed recovery using the installer BETA 94 and then flashed v6.2 using TWRP and also flashed Latest BETA RECOVERY .100 powered off and flashed your kernel, and here you go again i have got the sony logo rebooting by itself!

i'll report again my second method ;)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] TheCornInGrove:
I used 2.7.99

Tried several times now, always stck at sony logo. Thanks for trying to help
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] auras76:
you need 2.7.100.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] :
[MENTION=2112104]auras76[/MENTION] here's the working method now :

Requirement:

- BETA 94 installer for windows

- ROMAUR v6.1 and v6.2 + FLASHABLE BETA .100 from NUT placed in your SDCARD

flashing back to 534 and installed BETA 94 using windows installer, then after i was on philz recovery i simply used the option to clean for a new install instead of wiping data and factory reset, after that i have flashed v6.1 choosed my C6903 LB and also the options that i want to add, installation went well now flash the .100 and power off the device, now using flashtool flash the kernel for your z1 variant. power on your device you'll notice that the recovery is working only by the vibration on first boot and make sure after that you'll configure your rom as you want, now we have finished with 6.1 off to 6.2 now here's the tricky part! go to the recovery mode doesn't mater if it's philz or twrp DO NOT WIPE ANYTHING install zip and choose v6.2 and again when it ask you if you want to wipe in arom DO NOT WIPE SINCE YOU HAVE THE SAME BASEBAND VERSION AND KERNEL now do not install the same programs that you have installed on v6.1 because you are not going to wipe you're just installing on top of the same version build. uncheck everything except the dpi that you can choose instead of this DO NOT INSTALL ANYTHING now when you finish, FLASH AGAIN THE BETA .100 and reboot! now you'll see that you still have RECOVERY and ROOT!

hit my thanks button if this helps since i have been flashing my phone from last night and also from this morning :) :laugh:
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Ahki767:
so basically do a dirty flash from 6.1 without wiping anything and also uncheck all the options you've picked on 6.1?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] :
yes that's the point, because you won't need to install the same programs that you already have and also you won't be having to download again everything! it's not a dirty flash it's just like an update! because since you have the same build and same kernel you don't need to wipe everything ;)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] auras76:
you dont need to update from v6.1.

with dualrecovery 2.7.100 flash v6.2 on twrp.
