I always have it on, I will try and see if this is the cause next time it happens. It doesn't seem likely but I could have been putting my hand in a strange place and not realising or something so I might as well check.
[Xperia Z General] ericman77:
I have a 6606 running this ftf, after a few hours of flashing it and using wifi the wifi stops working. I still see the wifi signal in the notification bar with the arrows pointing up and down but don't get a connection. I wipped and reflashed then it's okay for a while then it stops working again.

I got a spare wireless router that has 5ghz and 2ghz channels out and wire connected it to the other router and connected to the new 5ghz and it's twice as fast and hasn't stopped for two days. Do you think it's a issue with the wifi or the rom? It all works fine with the tmobile ftf running.

bravia working?

once the bootloader is unlocked the bravia engine will not work no matte what android version you update right?

---------- Post added at 08:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:27 PM ----------

once the bootloader is unlocked, the bravia engine will not work no matter what android version you update right?
[Xperia Z General] demonicangell™:
right
[Xperia Z General] nemer12:
this is the best " firmware " 4.3 and its not official :))
[Xperia Z General] kingvortex:
It's identical to the release that was pushed out via the PC Companion.

How much more official than being pushed by Sony via emma do you think it gets?
[Xperia Z General] meechieballer:
just flashed my phone to this and loving it every bit love the improvements and lost the wifi calling but still good tho thanks! cant wait for the future in store after i get my phone unlocked after i pay my debts off! that means rooting access!!

I'll be able to flash this over from 10.31.E.0.191 correct? I have c6606 and I'm trying to install eXistenZ. I need to change my firmware from 10.31.E.0.191 to this one. I just want to make sure that it can happen without bricking or any errors.
[Xperia Z General] kingvortex:
If you flash this, you will lose root and recovery (if you're rooted) and will be unable to root again.

I would check the Existenz installation instructions again if I were you. :)
[Xperia Z General] tg2012:
Thanks **stops torrent**
[Xperia Z General] androidfreak70:
I flashed that by flashtool and my c6602 is now c6603 that its shows in ABOUT PHONE And also when i want to select network mod shows me LTE :D
[Xperia Z General] kingvortex:
It's only cosmetic. The model shown in 'About Phone' is determined by a value in build.prop.

You also will not be able to use LTE, as the C6602 does not have the necessary hardware.

You should have flashed a C6602 rom, especially if you want to receive updates officially, as you will no longer be able to because of cross flashing a different devices rom.
[Xperia Z General] fedevd:
In fact, he will be able and maybe will be available first for C6603 than C6602 (just for hours, not days).. I have my xx02 cross-flashed with xx03 firm and I had OTA and PC Companion firms/apps updates.. If the firm is official you will be able to update it..

[Xperia Z General] kingvortex:
Then, I stand corrected. I was under the impression that the partial IMEI was also sent during the update process and would stop a cross flashed device from updating.

Thanks for the clarification. :)

hi,

what means Commercial&Journalist??

Ok, quick question: I'm on 2.67 stock, locked BL, but I really want to start modding my Z without losing all my data. My idea is: I backup everything using PC Companion, root the phone using DooMLoRD Easy Rooting Toolkit, backup the TA partition just in case, flash this new firmware via Flashtool, unlock the bootloader, root the phone using CWM-Based Recovery 6.0.3.7 for Xperia Z by DooMLord, flash DooMkernel v19, restore my data backup via PC Companion. Is any of this going to go wrong?

The steps are to flash the FW with the flash tool, then before final boot up, flash the kernel using fastboot right?

[Xperia Z General] Mobe1969:
It might be early days to be calling this, but I'm thinking the wi-fi seems a bit better. I'll be able to tell better when I get home and have decent wifi, rather than the ghastly expensive cisco ones we have at work. Seriously they are bad - the signal levels (using wifi analyzer for example) at home are rock solid, but at work it varies 20-25dB as you watch. I get worse signal strength here in line of site of the unit than at home, further away, and through a wall...
[Xperia Z General] Djocker:

[Xperia Z General] Meister_Li:
I actually was able to root and dirty-flash this quite easily on my Xperia ZL since I have an unlockable bootloader.

Just backup your TA if you haven't yet so you can re-lock the bootloader after rooting to get the Bravia engine back.

Then unlock the bootloader, flash the ftf via Flashtool but remove the check at wiping data. Boot into your phone.

Shut your phone down and boot into fastboot. (Volume up and USB-Cable in)

Use fastboot to flash a Kernel with intigrated Recovery, for example Doomlord's kernel.

Boot into recovery with the keys (Volume up on the Sony-Logo), here flash the newest SuperSu.zip - you can find it here: http://download.chainfire.eu/370/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.80.zip

Shut your phone down.

In Flashtool, flash the latest ftf again, but uncheck all options except for "Kernel". We only want to flash that and wipe nothing. DON'T flash System, that would undo our nice SuperSU flash again.

Boot the phone normally. If you want, you can now use Backup TA to restore your locked bootloader and get the Bravia Engine and DRM-Keys back.

Hi, i'm ZL user too. If i understand correctly, ur steps are;

1. Flash 10.4.B.0.569 ftf.

2. Then flash doom kernel v17r1 via fastboot to acquire root.

Are those steps correct? or...

1. Need to flash 4.2.2 rom and gain root first.

2. Then flash doom kernel.

3. Next step flash 10.4.B.0.569 ftf except kernel.

So, how's the ZL doom kernel with the 4.3 rom? Is everything working fine?
[Xperia Z General] kydrio:
Which kernel exactly ??

Exactly Which ZL kernel did you use ?? :confused:
[Xperia Z General] Meister_Li:
No, that is not what I mean.

You only flash the Doomkernel to be able to get into the recovery once to flash the Superuser.zip. Remember that Fastboot always works if your bootloader is unlocked - if your rom is rooted or not doesn't matter.

The Rom probably won't work with the Doomkernel.

After that, you use flashtool to flash the rom again, but ONLY the kernel to replace the Doomkernel again.

I used this one, but any kernel with a build-in recovery should work. Just don't boot the rom, go straight into the recovery to flash the Superuser.zip: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2191264

You are smart :good:

I'm rooted using your method.

Basically here are the steps (ZL user only but you can test with Z if you want);

1. Flash 10.4.B.0.569.ftf and download superuser.zip (place it in ur sdcard)

2. Then flash boot.img that have recovery using flash tool (any kernel will do i.e. i'm using advance stock kernel v4 by doom lord.

3. Reboot ur phone and enter recovery then flash superuser.zip.

4. Do not reboot into system. Just turn off ur phone using yellow button near simcard at the back (hold for 10 second).

5. Open flashtool, select flash mode, select 10.4.B.0.569.ftf but only flash kernel only, exclude others (read carefully) and only wipe cache and app log.

6. Reboot ur phone and start removing google bloatwares.
