*haha* So it means that I'm not able to use thise 2.0-CustomRom without unlocking bootloader?

Let's try to make this 2.0 working while still don't want to unlock Bootloader!

issue:

Already do have 257-firmware installed and already do have 1.2 installed

question now:

What are the steps I do have to do (please list shortly step-by-step) to get 2.0 running on LB?

Thx
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] ffp.:
Can someone help me on this?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] qasq:
No, I think it forbidens the frame for any particular app that uses it. I canceled such AD inside "Fast for facebook" and "MX Player" which tends to change their Ads often. Since yesterday - no Ads some I pretty sure it did it's job.. :)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] M-Dawg:
The only thing I don't like about LBE is that it keeps running in background.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] qasq:
Hm, I don't want to be rude, but did you even read the First page of that topic?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] qasq:
And that's why you got 2GB of RAM. RAM is for apps to use it. Not for siting free :) I will post some screens of power consumption in a bit.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] DESASTER75:
Hi! :)

That's not rude! Sure, I did, but the issue is, that device-setup now is ...

257-firmware

1.2 ROM running

questions:

Any chance to get 2.0 running by keeping 257-firmware installed?

Thx
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] M-Dawg:
Power consumption of what?

Okay I will flats the LBE and see what it can do.

Nope! Same problem !

Viper always ask to install the driver.

Ah. you mean the driver which is istalled after the initial start of the app? Then I go you wrong. Sorry.

This could be a problem of the partial root on LB. No idea then. :(
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Ahki767:
2.0 is for .290 firmware so no you can't get it to work on .257. Maybe a dirty flash would work. Flash 2.0 and the given .290 kernel.ftf
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] hieuhd93:
So anyone installed v2.0 successfully? I'm going to give a try.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] hugoct30:
Can you give me stock wallpapers of this ROM. very beautiful :( i am using Xperia Z . :sosad:
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] shimofox:
Perfection, confirmed that it installed and flashed to the c6906. Now if only there was a c6906 baseband and kernal ftf file, that way LTE would be better on my device. OOOH WELL. One can dream. P.S. I didn't read worth **** the first time I did it and selected reboot. Then flashed the kernal and baseband. And guess what? 100% bonafied bricked a phone. Wouldn't even turn on the charging light, had to swap it at the Sony store. XD So I literally just flashed this on a phone I got yesterday despite it bricking my first one. XD You can smooth talk your way through anything. lol
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] M-Dawg:
Hmm so trahzebuck ****s on me for posting useless stuff and making the thread go down the drain, then he posts this?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] DESASTER75:
Hi!

Uuuuuh, I didn't make me clear! Sorry! :(

For sure, I know that 2.0 is for .290-firmware!

I meant:

How am I able to get 2.0 running (incl. .290-kernel) at my 'beginning-stage (.257 + 1.2)? Is there any chance like ...

a) just install 2.0 and then

b) just install .290-kernel and then

c) 2.0 will run well?

OR

Do I really have to do FullWipe/FactReset, ... (the whole procedure shown in post #1)?

AND

Will there be the chance for upcoming updates to just install ROM by keeping data?

BTW:

I don't want to unlook bootloader cause BRAVIA-engine will be lost then!

Thanks
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Ahki767:
Recommended to do a full wipe as not doing so might cause problems like bricking your phone, so it's better to stay on the safe side. I'm sure the next ihackers rom will be able to dirty flash as it'll be on the same .290 firmware unless Sony releases another update. I'm on a locked bootloader too
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] DESASTER75:
Hi!

Are you able to post me an detailled step-by-step how to got to 2.0 / .290?? For me, maybe for others, too, the steps in post #1 are not that comfotable for newbies but I want to use this great ROM!

Would be great,

DES75

BTW:

If something needed to be downloaded, please post Links, too!

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] trahzebuck:
It's always the same. :(

The developer is telling you step by step how you can safely install his / her rom.

And then users want to go another way. Because it's so hard to reinstall a few apps and make a few settings. :silly:

Yes you can always go another way as advised by the dev. You can do a dirty flash. You can even brick you phone. Whatever you like.

Or of course you can expect that someone else is testing a dirty flash for you. Risking to brick is phone because you are not willing to follow the dev. Yeah, let another one got the hard way and then laugh if he bricks his phone.

And this damned calling for spoon feeding. If you are not able to follow the instructions, read and learn! Ah, it's uncomfortable? Well that's hard. Those silly devs. make in uncomfortable... Well send you device to the developer. I'm sure he well flash it for you. Polish it, recharge the battery... maybe you can sent you dirty laundry too. Surely he well wash it.

/sarcasm off.

Honestly, follow the steps in OP and nothing else or test it yourself. But then don't moan if you have problems.

Do always !!! full wipe and a fresh installation. A dirty flash is always risky and only for experienced users. OK, when you have the same base (Android Version, same dev, small changes) a dirty flash may work - or may not.

If you don't like this, stay on stock and be happy with your phone.

Hey Guys,

i have a Problem.. tried to Flash my Z1 C6903 with UB with the new IHackers 2.0

Everything went great with 1.2.

But now with 2.0 i have this Problem: After i Flashed the Kernel and Baseband .290 the Phone just vibrates and dont Start. No Sony Logo, no Nothing. The Only Thing i can do is to Fukl WIpe and FLash .534 again.

Wheres the Problem ?

Greetings Oldskool
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] DESASTER75:
Hi!

Did it now! And now, wanted to activate XPosedFramwork -> Install/Update -> Question showed up: ARE YOU ON ROOT???

Framework: Download - Install - ...

Mounting /system writable...

mount: permission denied (are you root?) <- TitB shows I'm on root

cp: can't create '/system/bin/app_process.orig': Read-only file system

How to fix?

TitBackup is showing that I'm on root but now ...
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] mafiarock93:
I'm sorry if this was happeb before but What is this problem??

Very annoying
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] trahzebuck:
I'm not sure why you quote my post at this point. Perhaps you like it? ;) Or you want to tell us that you installed as advised? :)

Joke aside. Sounds like the /system R/W problem. Xposed tries to write in /system partition when installing.

"TitBackup" check first only if su, busybox &Co are there.

You could try to rename or edit an uncirtical file in /system with root explorer or similar. Try changelog.txt. If you mess it, it's not critical for the rom.

If you can edit it, you know that it's the R/W problem with locked BL. Then you know what's the problem. But I'm afraid there is no solution in the moment. Perhaps iHackers has an answer for you.:)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] DESASTER75:
SOLVED!!!

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Roughnecks:
I got the same Problem sometimes. Which Kernel Do u use?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] slackerz_86:
Sometimes that happens to me too.... I tried both doomkernel and ihackers advance kernel... It happens after games or calls... Sometimes like that, sometines wallpaper gets distorted...
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Roughnecks:
I also used doom and Hackers advanced. So it is not a kernel fault

Can you send me the the files from the 6943's ftf? I will need them to create your device specific flashable zips.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] iHackers:
Open both Viper Apps

Install Drivers

Go To Settings >> Music Effects >> ViPER4Android FX >> OK

Reboot

Open The Apps and See if the Drivers are Installed

This will certainly work if you are on a UB, haven't tested on LB yet. If it doesn't work on LB you will have to install those drivers through recovery. If you don't know how to do that check out the Viper4Android Official Threads. If you still can't ask someone over there for help. I would have made one for you myself but I don't have enough time right now. Anyway, let me know if it works or not.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] iHackers:
Are you sure you unlocked your bootloader first?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] iHackers:
You can manually replace the hots file system\etc\hosts with this one iHackers\Mods\Performance\system\etc\hosts from the ROM's Zip to fix that issue. It has over 26,000 Ad-Servers in it.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] iHackers:
Will be fixed in the next release. Thanks for reporting.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] iHackers:
Don't worry. Once I am free, I will even make a ROM for you that will be almost exactly like this one. ;)

Flash the official ftf and exclude everything except baseband and kernel and don't select any of the wiping options on the top frame of the flashtool.

Hi,

1st QUOTE:

XPOSED is not working!

2nd QUOTE:

Don't want to unlock BL in order to keep BRAVIA engine!

DES75
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] iHackers:
1) Flash This.

2) Follow these steps:

Backup Your TA Partition.

Unlock Your Bootloader.

Install iHackers or DoomKernel.

Make your desired changes to the system.

Restore your TA Partition.

Flash the Stock Kernel + Baseband FTF from the OP.

Enjoy.

IMO, X-Reality is a very small price to pay in front of ROOOOOOT. Plus its not like you will permanently lose it. Use the TWRP to backup both Kernel + TA Partition in both Locked and Unlocked Conditions and you will be able to switch between Unlocked and Locked Bootloader in a matter of seconds. All you need to do is restore the one you want.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] DESASTER75:
What do you mean with 1) Flash this? Where should I flash it? After ROM-flash or after dual-recovery-flash within recovery (please see 2))?

BTW:

If I'm following your SOP for LB, is there any flashabel version available for THIS dual-Recovery (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2455959)

Hi just flashed this rom from clean. 534 on locked BL. I must say it was the easiet most joyful flashing i've had!

Aroma installer took less than a minute to install rom, took only 1% battery!

Rom works perfect so far.

Xposed didn't work as to be expected of locked BL, also SuperSU binary was not installed correctly.

So I flashed monx Xposed foe locked BL and SuperSU 1.86 IN TWRP and now it's all cheery.

Perhaps you want to integrate it into your rom.

Beautiful wallpapers! Google auto restore great, unlike other costumw roms!

And last great feature BLE working! Outstanding! I couldn't get it to work on any 4.3 rom, not even stock, alwaya reboots the phone!

Awsome work, keep it up!

How are people finding the battery life on iHackers v2.0? Really interested in using it, but battery life is very important to me.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] omegahanggara:
Once I've sync Xperia with Facebook, the app was going crazy. Taking so much resources, and the device was getting hot (SO HOT until I have to power off my device). IDK what actually happened. But after removing it, everything is OK.

You better don't test it as you would be surprised how good it is. How incredible it performs and what an amazing battery backup it has.

Because if you guys seriously use xperia for facebook I don't want to know what other crap is installed on your device. An insult for iHackers awesome work...

Really never heard about resource friendly Facebook (worst performing app ever) alternatives like Klyph, Scope or even just m.facebook.com through your browser?

---------- Post added at 05:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:51 PM ----------

Oh, if you don't want to install .290 but rather wish to have bootloops... you don't have to...
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] TagEHeuer:
I'm always happy to test things, but Facebook is something I use a lot. Hardly an insult to the developer...

I'll most probably test it anyway.

Does anybody have the kernel download? It wont download for me ffs...

But how do I install this? this is really annoying me. I flashed the kernel, and now when I try turning phone on its just black. How do I boot into recovery menu?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] jamespmi:
How is it I can't install certain apps on Google Play like the Google Keyboard or SetDNS? It states it's not compatible with the device but I had it on other 290 roms I tested before iHacker 2.0 through Play...

Hello, I followed the steps below but after installing the ROM, I think I rebooted the phone and then now it doesn't boot, whenever I hit the power button or combo(power+up or down) and even pressing the red off button doesn't do anything. All it does after pressing any of those buttons is for the led to blink red. Tried to plug this on the wall outlet and same behaviour, it now blinks red. My phone is a Canadian Z1 with the right firmware version and on the version selection I chose c903. Any ideas?

Locked Bootloader:

•Install Oficial FTF for Firmware 14.1.G.1.534 (Ignore If you have a working Recovery).

•Root Your Phone Using VRoot or KingoApp Root or Whatever You Like.

•Backup TA Partition.

•Copy the ROM to External SDCard.

•Copy the Latest Flashable Dual Recovery to External SDCard.

•Install Dual Recovery for LB.

•Reboot into Recovery.

•Make Sure to do a Wipe Data/Factory Reset before Installing the ROM.

•Start the Installation. (Install Zip >> Choose Zip for External SDCard).

•Install the ROM and then Dual Recovery.

•Switch Off Your Phone (Do Not Reboot). Select No to Disable Flash Recovery Confirmation.

•Install Kernel.ftf for C6903 (.290) or Kernel.ftf for C6902 (.290) with Flashtool to get compatible Kernel and Baseband.

•Reboot and Enjoy.

Hoping for someone to help me, thanks much!

Try rebooting again and as soon as it reboots hit both volume keys one after another and it should boot in to recovery.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Ahki767:
Have you tried holding power button + volume up button till it vibrates? I did the mistake of rebooting it before too but I somehow got it to go onto flashmode to reflash a stock rom
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] djbuan:
I have tried doing that, power + up but it doesn't vibrate at all. It vibrates when I press the power button or power+down only. How long are you pressing them for? When it happened to you, is the SONY logo even appearing at all? Mine is not.

Actually when its plugged in, the screen does not display anything but the led turns either blue and green. Can you walk me through the process of flashing a stock rom? Thanks.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] TheKnux:
I read the OP and it says there are several init.d scripts but when using universal init.d, it says the kernel doesn't support it. Using iHackers custom kernel. Is the app wrong or does the kernel really not support it?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Ahki767:
Well I think there was a Sony logo but i was able to reset it with the power and volume up button to do a fresh install. Look at this for flashing guide
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] omegahanggara:
Yes. init.d isn't working.

Too bad, this is a good ROM. Less memory usage than any ROM I've ever used. But I really need init.d capability. Perhaps it could be fixed.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] TheKnux:
Thought so. Agreed. Do you know if it works with DoomKernel? Trying to do this even though folder mount works.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2447439
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] omegahanggara:
Universal init.d is doesn't work too, even when I was using doom kernel.

I've back to monx ROM, init.d is working. IDK, perhaps ROM issue.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] TheKnux:
That is definitely a bummer. Don't really understand init.d scripts yet but just know they improve things lol.

Love iHackers ROM but if I'm gonna start trying New things, I wanna make sure they work first. :P
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] omegahanggara:
Basically, init.d is folder that containing several scrips. Those scripts are executed every boot, which mean you can put a script that can do more than conventional boot.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] TheKnux:
So they only do things during boot? They don't actually do anything while the device is in use or idle?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] omegahanggara:
Depends on the script you use. If you know how create script that can manage your device and system while idle, so be it :)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] TheKnux:
Tried using the script that was in the link I provided but no luck when they don't even work lol
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] omegahanggara:
Yes. It's not working in iHackers ROM. But it's work on monx ROM. The kernel is same, tho.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] TheKnux:
Well Thank you for your input. Hopefully iHackers will see this and fix it. :P
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] omegahanggara:
That's why we here. To test the ROM, so the developer can fix these :)

Just to ask everyone, how u guys find the battery with both kernels? I see a rapid drop after one game of 10mins, and my phone gets really hot. Previously on v1.0-v1.2, it's much more better.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Dark-Skript:
I believe a more Valid installation tutorial would be:

Preparation

Copy the ROM to External SDCard.

Turn Off Phone and remove USB Cable.

Hold Volume- and insert USB cable at same time. The light will flash red then green. You are now in flash mode.

Install Kernel.ftf for C6903 (.290) or Kernel.ftf for C6902 (.290) with Flashtool to get compatible Kernel and Baseband.

Remove USB Cable, Hold Volume+ & Power Button until 3 vibrates.

Hold Volume+ and Insert USB Cable again at same time. The light will flash red then blue. You are now in fastboot mode.

Install iHackers Advanced Stock Kernel:

fastboot flash iHackers.img

fastboot reboot

When iHackers logo shows press Volume- a couple of times to enter recovery menu.

Recovery Menu Instructions

Click Install

Navigate to directory where you installed the zips.

Add each zip to que.

Swipe to Confirm Flash.

Easy Parts:

Run through install process.

Reboot and Enjoy.

Thats all!
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] slackerz_86:
i believe that u have to be on 4.3 (.290) base before u can start flashing the compatible kernel. if u're on .534 or .257, don't u think that flashing a .290 kernel n baseband will 'soft-brick' the phone?

Yes blue is fastboot and green is flashmode. You have to flash in fastboot since it's not an official sony ftf file.
