That's actually one of my problems now, the led doesn't stay in green. It only turns green very briefly then disappears. Even the SONY logo doesn't appear at all. I really need help.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] slackerz_86:
Make sure your phone is off totally. Unplug any cable. Make sure all drivers are installed properly. Then plug ur cable to the pc/laptop. Then hold volume down on phone n then plug in the connected cable to ur phone. No logo will be shown or watsoeva. Run flashtool. It will detect the phone n stated flashmode detected.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Ahki767:
So no sony logo comes up when you press power button? hmm. Then maybe flash a kernel with fastboot?? did you go into flashmode while trying to flash the rom or just to test?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] djbuan:
I just followed the instructions and after installing the ROM, i rebooted by mistake then none of the logo showed. Pressing the power button does nothing, it doesn't even show the logo. I tried pressing all button combinations but I can't boot it up, I even pressed the red button. Nothing, then I plugged it in and I was able to make the led flash blue. I tried the down button but the green led doesn't stay when i plugged it in my pc. I am now installing the drivers for the flash tool hoping to flash the stock rom and try again...
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] slackerz_86:
Try to press the volume up n try to flash kernel with fastboot. No need to press power button when doing all that
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] jcmordan:
I got this error too.. Try to flash a stock rom with flashtool. Even you can't see anything. Connect the phone to pc pressing volume down button.

That worked for me.

Then you can't try flashing Ihackers rom again.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] slackerz_86:
Watever it is, just try to run flashtool, connect phone to pc with volume down pressed, n see if flashtool detects your phone. If it does, get a stock .534 room and flash it. If flashtool asked u to recoonect phone, just unplugged it, then volume down n reconnect back. It should start flashing...

If I dont use Xposed, so I can stop at step 10?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] slackerz_86:
should be fine to stop there if u dun use xposed.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] tsmt971@yahoo:
Everything is working as expected on LB including Xpose. However, I am waiting for the full root on Lb coz I could not install the driver for Viper4android. If anyone has a Viper4android driver which can be flashed in recovery, pls share.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] jagdesh:
Yes you an stop and not install the xposed if you don't want it

For the ones having a "bricked" phone.

I post this link because I'm still convinced your device isn't bricked. It just changes it's state so Windows doesn't recognize the device well on faulty driver installations and isn't able to detect the Fastboot mode... This is a new approach of facilitating the installation of those drivers...

How is your battery life with the 2.0 update? I just noticed that Android OS is eating ~80% of my battery so I reinstalled the minimum version. We'll see if it helps.

Also how much free ram do you guys get? After boot it shows 0,89gb used and 0,79gb free with the minimum version, is that normal? Cause if I remember correctly I got ~1gb free with the official .290 version... :silly::confused:

Hi guys!

Does anyone know if SuperSU-fix (http://nut.xperia-files.com/download.php?dlid=U3VwZXJTVV9maXg=) can be flashed after Z1 is fully setup already (root, dual-recovery, apps, data, ...) without loosing anything?

Thx,

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Ahki767:
Just follow the guide for unlocked bootloader or if you want a fresh install then i guess you'll have to flash a stock rom.

Yes.

You can delete system apps by using TB only thing be sure what you delete since system apps are used for multiple processes on your device.

---------- Post added at 12:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:15 AM ----------

Since you have an UB I guess you can first wipe your data and then install and make sure to return back to recovery and flash recovery and supersu fix and then power off your device and then flash the ihackers kernel 2.0 FTF file using flash tool and you should be done.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] M-Dawg:
Mine doesn't :(
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] jagdesh:
I am confused..

You have mentioned that you came till step 9 and the flashed the official rom kernel?

Step 9 on my post talks about flashing the correct FTF file using flash tool.. The link for the two FTF files provided in my post are for two device models which this roms supports.

You don't have to exclude or change any option on flash tool when you select the correct FTF file which corresponds to your device model. All you had to do was select it in flash tool and flash if you are at step 9.

Hi!

It is still not working! While going to flash SUFix within an running system (through recovery) it will delete SU from drawerlist and SU has to be installed again (completely except PRO-license) from PlayStore and SU-binary-issue remains the same (SU is telling me that binary needs to be updated but installation/download is going to fail)!

Does someone do have another idea to get that thing (updated su-binary) fixed (except chainging user or similar suggestions)? :)

Thx,

DES75
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] mamenvn:
While going to flash sufix i got bootloop
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] jagdesh:
You need to go for complete wipe of the data and system. Install the rom again and then before rebooting install Supersu fix zip and then install recovery.

Then power off and install the right kernel file corresponding to your device.

This is method I followed on LB and I used latest beta dual recovery and only flashed through CWM and not TWRP.

TWRP was flashing it right and CWM does not detect external SD so I put the files into internal SD and flashed.

Anyone have battery draining problem? I thought it should be more friendly...
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] deftoner:
Hi ffp. I'm using the rom for about 3 days, the camera works just fine. THe bug about the camera was for unlocking boot loader and have 4.2 or older version. So with or without bootloader unlocked this rom works nice with the cam (and you can unlock 20mp on the superior auto)

The only bug that I have so far its about the wallpaper that some time it convert to "mosaic" (like if the image is lower resolution than the phone is) but I had this bug on original rom of sony.. so...

Give it a try, its (its my opinion) best rom available for z1 (if you are looking for somethings different than the original clean).

---------- Post added at 03:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:57 PM ----------

In soft use, the battery works just fine for me. Stamina mode works ok too (10 hours at night an 2% consumed), but when I hard use it (like scaning using LBA Security or playing really hd videos I can feel that the battery drains a little quick than the original rom, but I guess is for the processor tweaks. Still more than a day of battery so thats works for me :)

I can't get power menu works either :)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] deftoner:
Hi ralfs, on any call, go to options (the 3 Points on the upper right) and here you have the option.

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] deftoner:
When install the rom it ask what launchers do you want, I selected all but I'm using xperia home advanced or something like that :) You can use the addon pack (did you install it?) and sellect it again without wipe everything.

Hope it helps

PD: When I'm trying a new rom and loosing everything (because of the need of wipe) I always install everything, I try it, and then install again without the thing that I don't want. This awesome rom comes with LBE Security that gives you the options to uninstall "factory" app too :):laugh:

Hi Dev,

I have two issues with this new V2.0

1st Issue: Google Kitkat Launcher

When i use this launcher and use the hot word "okay google" it activates the google voice just fine, after I am done asking the question, it searches and when its displaying or speaking the answer, I always get "Google Launcher or Google Search FC"... it says this but in the background the google voice is working...This always happens when I use google voice & search.

2nd Issue: Adaway app not working

I know its been discussed a lot on this thread but I am still not able to understand if this can work? and if yes then can someone please tell step by step?

Other than these two issues I am really happy with V2.0
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] iHackers:
1) Try installing latest GMSCore.apk and Velvet.apk.

2) I will fix it in the next release.

PS: Thanks for helping everyone out on the thread while I am away. I will be releasing a new Contributors Version (For Developers, Contributors and Donors) in a few days and I will send you the link too when I release it.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] iHackers:
Yeah, you are right, that wallpaper disortion thingy is a bug from Official ROM from Sony, if not then probably in the one that I have based this ROM upon. Anyway, I will fix it in the next release.

All Battery Issues will be fixed in the next release.

You can choose the Xposed Module I have added in the Aroma Installer or you can select it from the Gravity Box. I am almost done porting the Advanced Power Menu from the v1.2 to v2.1. I will include it in the Contributors Version that I will release in a day or two.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] iHackers:
Working on the Next Release. Any Requests or Suggestions?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] mamenvn:
1. Phone dialer delay

2. Improve Camera quality more

3. Fix to full root
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] hieuhd93:
Actually, everything's almost perfect...but if:

- battery fix

- the recent-app close can be remodded a little to look better, more original...

- the option 44dip on-screen button. It's really convenient and still more lovely than 48 default.

That's all to my thought, thank you for this great rom.:good:
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] funky0308:
Hmm...

I really can't believe I couldn't flash this ROM.

I downgraded to 534 global.

Lost IMEI but who cares, 4.3 always restore IMEI after updating.

Root, installed recovery.

I flashed ROM and recovery for Z1 (I saw guys suggesting recovery for XZ but I doubt that was the problem).

I flashed 290 kernel and baseband via flashtool but I'm constantly getting kernel loop...

Hmm...
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] YamazakiRobert:
more debloat

optional small apps

optional sony apps

optional sony keyboard

make more system apps optional

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] jagdesh:
Hi

Looks like you don't have correct or full root. This happens when the Super user app is not installed properly or its not got full root..

I suggest you wait for the new version since it's around the corner. If you can wait follow my post if you want to stay on locked bootloader. My post is located few pages back it gives step by step method on installing this v2.0

Also many thanks for taking me as a contributor. I love to help out and will try to help when ever I can.

Again thanks for the brilliant rom.

---------- Post added at 12:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:05 AM ----------

Hi dev

This version only had one major problem...

Almost all users faced a lot of problem installing this rom. If this issue can be solved it will help everyone.

Other than this, Google experience launcher has the FC error which if fixed in the next release will be great.

The volume output from the speaker for the Ringtones, the incall speaker volume and also the speaker phone for call.. All these have low volume. If these can be increased by at least 50%-70%.. Loud volumes can always be turned down but of volume can only be turned up to some extent.

I know there is a loud volume mod to increase but it would be better to have it as an option integrated into the rom options.

Lastly Ad away app fix..

The rest is fantastic the rom is so smooth and trouble free. Loving it.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] kischde:
Hi mates from iHackers team :)

Installed v2.0 some minutes ago, everything works and installation on UB/6903 ran smoothly and without any trouble. Thanks a lot for your really great work!!

Can you already say anything about when the new version will be released? Just would like to know if I should install and set up all my apps or if I can wait until next release *lol*

*edit*

Hrhrrr... just read sth about a "contributors/devs/donors" version... Is there -maybe- already anything around the corner or even on it´s way?? *drools*
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] deftoner:
I don't know how difficult is but some method to move app or large games (like android/obb folder) to the ext-card? (external sd) may be a symbolic link will work, I guess.

Thanks for the awesome rom (again and again)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] funky0308:
Haha...well yeah...

Don't know how that happened but I tried (only one, I must admit) and I failed.

LB

Wiped all via flashtool then wipe system/cache/data via recovery

As I said, I used global 534, root via Kingo and all went well.

Root, recovery, downgrade...

But as soon as I flashed ROM and recovery, power device down and flashed ftf 290 (kernel and baseband) I bump into kernel loop.

Under Aroma installation I deselect kernels (I have unchecked both kernels) as I have LB, us that O.K?

I mean, if I flash 290 stock kernel I'm guessing that's the procedure?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] DESASTER75:
@ iHackers:

Suggestions for next release:

- working SuperSU

- working XPOSED

- if possible update which just can be flashed over excisting, running system without wipe, ...

comment on 2.0:

- running smooth (now on my Z1, too, after lot's of issues in beginning stage)

- really fast

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] kischde:
[MENTION=3584083]DESASTER75[/MENTION]

SuperSU works without any problem for me, same for XPosed. Preinstalled, just add the modules you want and you're good to go.

Updating without wipe might be possible but is strongly NOT recommended (only if it's just a minor update). It's not any more a little known fact that dirty flashes might cause problems and trouble of any kind. Mostly the users blame who...? Right, the devs. Who else ^^

Had a Motorola Milestone, Galaxy S2, S3, S3 LTE and a S4 during the last years and since I started polishing my devices I never did dirty flashes. Now guess how often I had troubles? Not in one single case and I had days with flashing 10 or more times.

Not sure what other users are doing different from me but either I'm doing sth wrong and my Z1 just corrects all my failures...or you guys don't read/don't follow the instructions given in OP.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] funky0308:
Guys...when you falsh ROM on locked bootloader, what kernel have you choose? (if any)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] kischde:
Afaik you can´t flash a custom kernel if you´re on LB.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] funky0308:
No shi**t :P

Of course you can't, you can, if we want to be precise but it's not smart thing to do.

I know that, I'm asking you what did you do in Aroma, unchecked bith, select one or what?

I can find where did I failed so I though to ask others what they selected.

You are flashing ftf and the end so it won't stay but maybe I'm missing something...
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] kischde:
[MENTION=4816245]funky0308[/MENTION]

Maybe you can choose a kernel within Aroma like it is in iHackers v2.0 - but will the kernel be flashed? I´m not sure but as I got it a kernel can´t be flashed onto a locked bootloader. I´d assume that the option is there because it´s in the script that´s running during the installation. It´s much easier to let it be there as to check if the BL is un/locked and change the menu. But of course I don´t really know that exactly... :)

I´m on UB so I don´t have those handcuffs ;) But that´s what I read about bootloader locked/unlocked and the dis/advantages (for me there´s no disadvantage at all)

If I were you I´d choose none, unmark both points and it should work, shouldn´t it?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] iHackers:
I have already included both the kernel and baseband in the FTF Links on the OP. Use them instead.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] sm.vassallo:

Have you make a full wipe before install the rom?

Inviato dal mio C6903 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] iHackers:
Keep it in your External SD Card just to be safe. And the Internal SD Card gets formatted only when you flash ftf that too can be prevented by minor modifications in the ftf. If you have a locked bootloader then you can only install it using flashtool. Use the ftf links on the OP to download a kernel + baseband ftf and copy it to your flashtool's folder and flash it in flash mode. You can find a lot of guides on google and xda if you get stuck somewhere.

Is the file that you downloaded from the OP in zip format? If so then rename it to Something.ftf and then copy it to C:\Flashtool\firmwares and open flashtool switchoff your phone, connect it in flash mode select it in the list, flash, reboot and you are done.
