OK, complete new sources then.

Has someone uploaded the ftf yet? If so let [MENTION=2784807]DooMLoRD[/MENTION] know and he will start to work on it.

Also, [MENTION=410007]Nut[/MENTION] [MENTION=4340984]krabappel2548[/MENTION] [MENTION=1346722]Bin4ry[/MENTION] [MENTION=1062326]monx[/MENTION] will need to work on root, recovery, rombuilder and kernel.

Lots of work ahead guys!

The z1 makes better photos at 8 megapixel ... I hope that this update makes possibile good 20 megapixel photos !

[Xperia Z1 General] jonmorris:
Can't recall a single reset on the Z1 (a few on my Z) but I suppose you don't always notice because it skips the SIM PIN entry and can therefore reset when you're not looking!

It was actually clicking a link in Tapatalk that opened Chrome, so that's where I'll be checking for any problems - but fingers crossed it was just a glitch.

When it restarted, it came up with the warning to close the covers to keep it waterproof. So, some settings have clearly been reset after this update.

What yellow tint issue ?, well i never had it in the 1st place so cant really give an accurate report, ah well, and btw, there are multiple ftf's available now thats for this latest software that can be flashed via flash tool, now this version is not currently rootable so if you rely on having root access then i wouldnt update to this but otherwise i would, the new firmware brings improvements to the screen, camera and also power consumption.

[Xperia Z1 General] hush66:
Please read through the thread. It's already mentioned that these no longer work.
[Xperia Z1 General] ianford10:
Can we all stop flapping regarding the ftf's just for a moment? We need to determine whether people are receiving specific region updates or they have just flashed a commercial /journalist ftf and are receiving that update. As pointed out by another XDA member who checked in EMMA 1277-1398_R1A is still commercial /journalist.

To check do the following :

Type *#*#7378423#*#* into your dialer

Then tap service info

Then software info

Check customisation info: if it states 1277-1398_R1A then it's the commercial /journalist update and no need to create anymore ftf's as we already have it.
[Xperia Z1 General] B1nny:
As you can see I didn't update to the latest firmware (yet) because I want to keep root. I did receive the update via the PC Companion application though.
[Xperia Z1 General] abid.iqbal.hgs@gmail.com:
This is what I got. No update yet in india. And one more thing. I think I am the only one who Got 14.1.G.1.534

version on C6902, .534 is for C6903
[Xperia Z1 General] ianford10:
Both these links are the commercial/journalist ftf, they are not global or generic, customisation id on both are 1277-1398_R1A (commercial/journalist)​
[Xperia Z1 General] 301stSpartan:
Nope, I think everyone with a 6902 got the 534. I certainly did. Don't think Sony would single out just one user :p
[Xperia Z1 General] abid.iqbal.hgs@gmail.com:
So what does that mean? Both C6902 and C6903 can be updated through this mentioned 803.6 MB file?
[Xperia Z1 General] ianford10:
Unless you have a C6903 device i strongly advise not to flash these to a C6902 device.
[Xperia Z1 General] jeroendh:
What is the big difference between the commercial/journalist firmware and the Generic firmware?
[Xperia Z1 General] ImAnurag:
I think I am the only one who Got 14.1.G.1.534 ? What does this meant ? Almost every Z1 C6902/3 user was on 14.1.G.1.534 ( In India also ).
[Xperia Z1 General] DjTony90:

[Xperia Z1 General] krabappel2548:
Ok, I've been playing with rooting it, but can't find a way to root at the moment..

I'll release a flashable pre-rooted deodexed stock rom of this fw so everyone can update and have root :)
[Xperia Z1 General] reignzy:
To get icon to work, pretty sure you need root if it's not enabled by default for your region

2 shots attached for example:

1st shows current customisation number (note it's probably not proper code for nz) and 2nd shows where to change values for nfc to work.

Again not sure if root is required but I'm guessing so.

[Xperia Z1 General] parag1dubey:
Those who have updated to the new firmware, is the yellow tint issue resolved?
[Xperia Z1 General] dagrim1:
Angles won't change, it's a screen thing... I've noticed increasing brightness seems to help (and actually, angles seem fine to me now). Display quality? Color balance has been improved a bit I think...

About camera, seems ISO values are a bit more conservative (resulting in longer shutter times I think though) but have to test some more...

I've got a feeling that it's improved but without the old 'screen' it's hard to compare. Compared to a HTC One though it's not that great...

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] marto_martin:
I'm using O2 Plus and want the phone to ring and vibrate for incoming calls.

When I go into edit the profile I'm using I only have two options "Vibrate only" which turns the speaker off, and "Vibrate upon receipt of call" which the phone vibrates when I answer the call.

If I go into Start > Settings > Sounds & Notifications > Notifications, some "events" give me the option of Vibrate but "Incoming call" is not one of those events?

So where do I setup ring and vibrate together?

Cheers, marto.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] fone_fanatic:
on my jam its there under sounds and notifications. i have it set to ring & vibrate for incoming calls. so i guess your rom doesnt support that. maybe if you install the imate rom which is the one i'm using. 1.12.00 WWE its available on this FTP site. But then again i'm not that familiar with all the tweks for windows mobile ppc so there could be another solution.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Simghost:

in the Ring Type dropdown chose "Vibrate and Ring"

[Samsung Captivate Glide] LaizureBoy:
Ok guys, sorry for the nubby questions lately, so I figured I would get them all out there while I could.

#1) If I backup a ROM's DATA partition only, does that mean I can restore the DATA in an upgraded version of the ROM?

#2) Can I store my backups on a flash drive, without corrupting them? If so, can I use USBHOST to restore from those backups?

#3) When flashing to another recovery, such as CWM to TWRP, can I just flash the zip file in recovery?

That's all I can think of as of yet, I'm sure I will update this thread in the future.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] AndyYan:
#1 I think yes. #2 Don't know. #3 Yes you can directly flash zips to switch recovery.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matt87n:
hey guys!

Just picked up my Moto X about a week ago and rlly enjoying it!.. thought id stay under the 30 minute talk-time as long as i could to not void the return policy just in case i wanted to come back to apple and pick up a 5S.. decided im sticking with the Moto tho!

Anyway on the iphone i was able to play a video, then lock (sleep) the display and have the audio of that video still play while having the info and toggle button (play,rewind etc.) show up in the lock screen by tapping the wake button. I used this primarily for video streaming via the Safari browser using sites like youtube (the youtube app didnt allow this function).

Can i do something similar to this (play the audio of a video with the display put to sleep + have a toggle widget in the lock screen) . I found it to be super convenient for listening to interviews and talks while at the gym or even in the car while saving some battery.

sorry if the solution is obvious.. im still learning Android's functionality.. is there a native way of doing this? if not is there a browser/app/widget that can do this? do i need to get a custome build of the OS?

Thanks in advance, i know u guys are great on here

There's also a modded youtube apk somewhere under Development & hacking which allows exactly that, playback with screen off.

I think PVTStar also does that, I'm not wrong (it's an app to play youtube videos basically).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matt87n:
so i think the app you mention is called SuperTube which is pretty sleek.. it does play the audio with the screen off which is rlly nice and it has a pull down widget for pausing and playing!

another question is whether there is a web browser that can do this for videos that are outside the realm of YouTube?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MidnightDevil:
Try PVStar, I think it does a broader video search (not just youtube). if I'm not mistaken. Check on play. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.co.asbit.pvstar

Update

: Root has been achieved, and Safestrap works - See here

This is a new update for SCH-1545 taking users to VRUDMI1. This is the stock factory image, taken straight from Kies. At this point only download for research or curiosity because this build has not been tested again for root access and you very well may loose both root and custom recovery by flashing this. So far I see a lot of Knox related stuff. Also, If you need to go back to stock for whatever reason I suggest using the VRUAME7 (or MDK) factory image instead. Both VRUAME7 and VRUAMDK stock Odin tars contained 14 partitions over which they would write over. However, in the newest build VRUDMI1, only 13 partitions are wrote over because it doesn’t contain a persdata.img.ext4.

Changes so far in this build:

1. VRUMDI1 DOES NOT WIPE THE PERSDATA PARTITION! (persdata.img.ext4)

2. ROOT METHOD FOR

VRUAME7

NO LONGER WORKS ON THIS BUILD! - NEW ROOT METHOD here

3. New system apps are included, read more here

Nonetheless, if you want to rose root and recovery (maybe forever) then,

1. Unzip the file and you should have a tar.md5

2. Select the tar.md5 in Odin under PDA and keep Odin's default settings

3. Click start and wait for it to say pass
