Stuck in Sony logo boot screen

I flashed the 2.0 over 1.2 with wipes and factory reset.

Then I flashed recovery right after.

Power off phone using flashtool to flash the .290 baseband and kernel (my phone is LB).

Now the phone stuck in Sony logo boot screen.

Any one can help.

I think the did follow the steps correctly.

I have try the SUS and it says my phone is uptoday, same with PC companion.

Thanks in advance!

ive tried twice with xposed modules and they dont install from aroma unless i install no wipe then i loose recovery and have to start fresh ha ha

are all xposed modules available on the xposed moduel tab that are on the aroma installer

thanks
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] hieuhd93:
Oh sorry, I see the flashable download file of dual recovery now. I will try your rom soon :laugh:
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] trahzebuck:
Are you sure you selected the correct model in Aroma? C6902/C6903? If you selected the wrong - you'll get stuck. Try to go to recovery. If recovery works, start again with the wipes... :)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] brockyneo:
managed to get them to all install i selected the advanced launcher in aroma the only thing i did different and they are all on now lol
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] DESASTER75:
Means! I am right

1) Those steps are all to get 2.0 running?

2) What are the fastboot-commands to get Kernel flashed? Please list all!

3) Wipe Cache, yes or no?

4) Wipe Davlik, yes or no?

5) Will external SD be formatted or not?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] qasq:
This rom is great!

Here's what I did:

I was on stock 4.3 with UB. I did UB via flashtool, like Doomlord advised in his topic.

I downloaded 2.0 iHackers and put it into external SD

I restarted to recovery. First I made backup with TWRP

I restarted boot to get into CWM.

Than I wiped : factory, cashe, dalvik

Than I flashed aroma 2.0 iHackers.

I choosed XX03 as I own 6903 device.

After that device had bootloops.

I opened folder in Flashtool directory. It has something like this : C:\Flashtool\x10flasher_lib

Inside there we can find fastboot exe to use with our needs.

I clicked with shift in that window right click. it shows than "open command prompt here" that I run fastboot flash boot boot.img <- or any other name you got. for the kernel DoomLord.

As I was coming from stock 4.3 I didn't bother to install fresh kernel and baseband from it.

Rom is stable, fast and consumes little battery. Looks great! Thank you very much!
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] :
ihackers kernel is it for LB or UB??
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] trahzebuck:

Flashed ROM for my LB Z1

Flashed RECOVERY using CWM

FLASHED xposed from Monx

everything's working fine!
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] huzz:
ROM is great, kudos for the work.

Just wanted to point out if you are already on stock 290 or any other 290 base it isn't necessary to flash the kernel. Just transfer the ROM to your sdcard and flash it. I didn't want to flash a custom kernel just yet so I stayed with the 290 stock kernel. Everything works fine. That being said follow the OP's instructions if you want an experience promised by the OP. If my suggestion causes any harm I am not liable and you are on your own.

Cheers.

[MENTION=3425251]trahzebuck[/MENTION] if I want something from the addons pack must I flash the zip and will aroma then come up?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] :
flash the addons pack and yes aroma will come up once you start flashing

---------- Post added at 10:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:13 PM ----------

Indeed i do the same steps as yours! i just drag the zip into my sdcard and flash the rom + the cwm to keep it always alive even with 4.3 that's why i dont have to go back every time to .534 and do all the steps whenever there's a new ROM out!
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] ValVK:
Please anyone that already doing it-after flash iHackers v2.0 [Aroma].zip and dual Rechovery,

should i flash in flashtools only stripped Xperia Z1 - C6903 - Kernel + Baseband [14.2.A.0.290].ftf from first post?

If anyone tried it already-it don't end up in bootloop with stripped .ftf?

Thanks all in advance! :)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] M-Dawg:
You say you flash the CWM...does it then stay forever? I have CWM and TWRP but only because of doomkernel.

Should I flash CWM zip on its own to intstall it forever?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] :
what i do to keep the recovery alive! is download the flashable one from romaur thread for LB that's the only one that it's really working even after rebooting or anything! i do not know if it stays forever or not! but in my opinion you should always flash it after flashing any ROM!! it's my recommendation
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Amritttt:
Is there any possibility to flash kernel without using laptop???
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] :
if you have an unlocked bootloader YES you can flash ihackers kernel or doomlord
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Amritttt:
Yes I have unlocked bootloader so what is the procedure I flash this rom and flash doomlord or Ihackers kernel???
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Denli:
FINALY!!

At last I can enjoy the full experience of my Z1. I used your rom on 4.2.2 and I was waiting for 4.3 version. Ver 1.0 was just... to MINIMAL :D
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] :
Thanks for the quick reply man i was going to tell him to find out a little bit in the Original Dev Threads as i do not an unlocked bootloader

Nav Bar has Vanished.

Hi iHacker,

I'm loving your rom, I've just updated to 2.0 without any problems, but on the second reboot the navbar vanished and I'm having to use the floating navbar app, is there a simple way to revert back to the static stock one ?

Regards.

Mark.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] glai3:
I am sure I flashed 6903 and flashtool flashed 6903 baseband & kernel.

There is no way to start recovery as the phone stuck on Sony splash screen.

Will try to flashtool flash a ftf file and see what happen.

Thanks.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] iHackers:
Uninstall Ultimate Dynamic Navbar and Reboot.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] glai3:
Hard brick finally

Finally, the nightmare is here!!!!!!!!!

Flashed a .534 ftf and the phone came back to life.

Root it with Kingo root and install DualRecovery...

Flashed v2.0 (6903 double check) with CMW (of course wipe/factory reset), power off and Flashtool flash 6903 kernel and baseband.

Now, the phone turn out to be a very expensive paperweight.

No lights and no response whatsoever...SUS and PC companion cannot recognize it.

Is it the end of the phone?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] brockyneo:

I've hold the power button much longer than 20 seconds.

Try red button, any power+vol rocker combination..

There is even NO charging led even plug into power outlet.

[MENTION=4976309]iHackers[/MENTION]

just making sure here so i don't get into a bootloop or smthng. So the latest flashable dual recovery is it this or this?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] qasq:
1. I'd say 99% your battery is dead. Connect it via wall charger. Leave it for 1-2h

2. Plug it into PC in flash mode (I belive it's connect cable + up volume)

a) you don't need Sony logo state for that. Just from complete off.

3. After that I would flash stock .290

4. Than I would unlock bootloader official way (using flashtool)

5. Than I would flash doomlord/monx/iHack kernel with cwm&twrp

6. Than I would flash iHack 2.0

a) you don't need to flash baseband and kernel + last kernel as you're already at that stage in the first place.

The only moment when I've heard that someones Z1 is dead was after they replaced their own TA with backuped TA from someone's else Z1!!

99% phone can be always returned to life from Flashtool. SEUS sux. Unintall it asap...
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Ahki767:
Unlocking it is fine but make sure to backup your TA partition. Try out both kernels and see which one is more to your liking. Battery/performance wise.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] TheKnux:
1) thank you for helping me understand. It's weird cause it never happened on your previous versions of your rom.

2) nevermind lol. You said it was a problem with TB. I was just saying when I did a dirty flash over monxs rom, when I tried to install TB, it said I had insufficient space available even though I had 10gb free of internal. Once I full wiped, it installed just fine.

3) I guess you just have to sacrifice the easiness off setting up your phone when you full wipe in order to get a flawlessly working rom. :P
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] slackerz_86:
I'm still blur about the kernels. So if i would like a kernel that allows me to underclock cpu n gpu, which should i choose? Does ihackers supports these? Do i really have to backup TA? :-#

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Sean473:
I don't like the top bar with how the battery percentage etc is displayed... Does the ROM have the option to retain the stock Sony UI and Xperia Home? I like that...
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] shahzaib.khan:
same here i want the full stock rom with the background additions and stability n audio mods n display also thats it.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] iHackers:
I will add options for that in the Aroma Installer in the next release. Let me know if you have any other requests.

Right now, for statusbar and navbar, If you have any other stock based ROM, Pull out system/app/SystemUI.apk from it and push it into your device's system/app, set permissions and reboot. If you want me to make a flashable zip for doing that, let me know. Regarding other Glass Apps, its entirely upon you if you want to install them or not, If not then simply install the original ones from the market.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Sean473:
Can you please make a flashable zip? I tried doing that before and it was a disaster.. Flashable zip is easier :D
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] gregbradley:
8th point is

"Start the installation"

Whats the issue with that
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] iHackers:
Here you go:

I think the issue is refer to flash with Flashtool the Kernel.sin but if you have Locked bootloader you can't flash another kernel...

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] iHackers:
Sumedha accidentally renamed the kernel files attached in the OP to sin instead of ftf, you will actually get the sin file when you extract that ftf. Simply copy them to your flashtool's folder and flash it instead. That way you won't have to go through the trouble of excluding/selecting/deselecting stuff from the whole fw's ftf. By the way thanks for helping everyone out in my absence. I rarely come on XDA, so you guys you will have to keep helping each other out as much as you can.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Sean473:

[MENTION=4819951]Sean473[/MENTION] Dude pls post in the right thread...try push volume + and power until the phone vibrate 3 times to turn it off

Inviato dal mio C6903 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] iHackers:
- First of all Keep Pressing and Holding Volume + and Power Button until you feel something vibrating 3 times in your phone.

- Then simply carefully refollow the steps for installing the ROM and you will be fine.

Note: As long as you are sticking to a Locked Bootloader always keep THIS FLASHABLE ZIP for Dual Recovery in your phone and flash it after every rom that you flash so that you won't have to follow all those silly steps just to get a "working" recovery in your phone.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] iHackers:

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Poesini:
Does this mean C6906?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Ahki767:
Underclocking should work on all or most kernels . Just need an app like performance control to underclock it. If you're gonna unlock your bootloader, you better backup your TA as unlocking will make you lose Bionz image processing and x reality engine in case you need em back in the future. Plus if you wanna send back your device for repair you'll need the back up to relock your bootloader and of course flash a stock rom

Yes,
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] M-Dawg:
Does iHackers kernel have dual recovery?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] ___ZerO:
Make a hard reset with the red button ubicated in the sim place or keep pressing volUp + power button. Then you'll be able to flash a firmware again.

Seeder stops, even though I grant it root access :/ any idea why?

What is difference between pure stock v1.0 and iHavkers?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] :
I have no idea, since that i can't unlock my bootloader!
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] iHackers:
Read This:
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] iHackers:
Please read the OP, everything is mentioned on both thread's OPs. Pure Stock stock is a Purely Stock ROM without any mods whatsoever, iHackers is the Modded one,
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] iHackers:
Thanks a lot mate. Let me know if you need any help or if you run into any issues. :)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] iHackers:
Again, READ THE OP.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] iHackers:
If you don't see the LED flashing and Phone vibrating while it starts, Its not installed properly. You will need to install it again, If you are on LB then you may have to refollow all the steps because of the partial root.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] iHackers:
1) Yes.

2) Here.

3) No.

4) No.

5) No.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] iHackers:
Try both and choose the one you like. :)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] iHackers:
Try This One and let me know if it doesn't work. Don't worry, you won't go into bootloop.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] iHackers:
1) Its not a problem with the ROM, its a rare accident. The Aroma Insaller is still the same as all my previous releases.

2) That was most probably because of the Google Account. The Play Store stores the session history on your data partition which include a few system keys which usually tend to mismatch when you are changing ROMs. Titanium Backup also uses Android Market Sync and Check-Ins (See the options in preferences), So if Play Store has some issue, Titanium Backup isn't communicate and authenticate and FCs.

3) Thats the reason a full wipe is recommended, you don't need to do that when shifting ROMs based on same fw but sometimes mishaps occur and you run into issue when you don't do it.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] iHackers:
If that happens again, clear the data and cache for that app and reboot.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] iHackers:
Don't worry, you won't end into a bootloop and you can flash any compatible kernel, its not must that you flash the one from the OP, if you have the stock ftf then you can flash only Kernel and Baseband from it too.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] iHackers:
Dude, the recovery can't stay FOREVER, if its there in the Kernel's Ramdisk, it will stay until you change the kernel but if you are flashing a zip for locked bootloader it will go away whenever you format and reflash something on your system partition (which certainly happens when you flash any rom).
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] FiremakerP:
Full Root for locked bootloaders possible?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] :
Yup that's what i was trying to say! if he doesn't flash the recovery everytime after flashing any ROM he won't be able to flash any rom again without going back to .534
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] glai3:
Thank you for your reply.

First thing first this morning I did was to see any sign of life after 8 hours of a wall charger charge.....NOTHING, the phone is cold as ice, of course no response of any kind.

SEUS and Flashtool do not react to USB plug in (flash mode or boot fastboot mode). It is not even recognize as a USB device in Device Manager.

By the way, my bootloader is unlockable. The only thing I concern is how to wake it up again...in whatever status, even a blink of led is a good sign for me now.

I was going through same problems.. I saw that when you got this nice guard installed, which is called LBE something, and any AD will popup in any app - you can just click little "x" sign on it, usually it's located in the very right corner of an AD - and boom, it goes away with some nice Chinnesee letter message :)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] M-Dawg:
I don't like to use LBE, do you know of another work around?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] qasq:
LB = locked bootloader. You can't flash other kernel than stock with LB.

You should use Flashtool to make :

a) backup of your TA

b) unlock bootloader the official way

Than you'll be able to flash any kernel with any recovery, and it will be presistent. Hope that helps u, if so - hit thanks :)
