PS:can you plz upload one of extra themes you downloaded?
[Xperia Z General] nemer12:

How come? :D Last Tuesday at this time I had ~33% :D I use GG (something like Messenger), Messenger, Dolphin. Also few mins of calls and texts. And I'm on LTE ~75% of time :P

customization version

I flash the new Firmware over a Generic DE firmware with customization Version 1271-0334 without wipe cache and data in flashtool. Everything is working. For which country is the customization Version 1270-4066 that I have after the update?
[Xperia Z General] TheKingOfPain:
I checked here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2315914, but it's not a known customization number. I don't think it's meant for a public release.
[Xperia Z General] kamalmawa:
I don't think this customization belongs to any country. This firmware is a prototype made for internal testing purposes.

My impressions on this firmware

So far after 20hrs of Using:

Pros:

Wi-Fi seems to be better

Smoother/faster UI with new animations

New camera features

Ability to download themes from playstore

Cons:

Keyboard multi-touch kind a buggy (could be just me)

Camera Superior auto mode limited to 9MP resolution

camera photo quality isn't that impressive :-o

Yes, this problem is even noticed me! The same happens even if you do install an app! Another problem is, if I go to the update center and am connected to the wifi one second, a message appears that mobile data is disabled! And the short message always appears, even though you are connected to the wifi. That is a another problem! kamalmawa says in thread #192, this firmware is a prototype made for internal testing purposes!

thanks Sir, ill try the link you said...thanks again :crying:

by the way Sir, can you please help me where I can find the stock kernel for this [FIRMWARE] C6603 10.4.B.0.569 ?

need it badly :(

thanks again...
[Xperia Z General] samsingh4u:
its in the same 10.4.B.0.569 ftf package you downloaded..

just select it in flashtool just tick on kernel and fota n flash it...

it simple connect your in flashmode

if its not going in flash mode hold down volume key n power button until you feel 3 vibration...

than connect your mobile in flash mode.

happy flashing :fingers-crossed:
[Xperia Z General] blacksins:
I can't decide whether to flash this fw or wait for the official one which may take weeks :rolleyes:
[Xperia Z General] samsingh4u:
just try it bro... its good in all ways comparing with 4.2.2.....yes it has got some minor bugs.but its not the final build.

Any updates from sony is always welcome we get something new everytime comparing with others manufacturers

AS WE ARE PROUD OWNERS OF SONY:p
[Xperia Z General] totzkitotz:
i cant access to flashmode :( when i try the flashtool and did what you you just said sir..but when i try to connect my Z in my laptop it cannot be recognized..

and when i tried the one you said that 'if its not going in flash mode hold down volume key n power button until you feel 3 vibration...'

only the red led light blinks..

what should i do? :(

How is the battery life, compared to 4.2.2 .67 build?
[Xperia Z General] DaRk MaDnEsS:

[Xperia Z General] totzkitotz:
when i charged it now, the led notification light only shows RED....for how long will I charged this sir?

:crying: im very much worried now :(
[Xperia Z General] samsingh4u:
first reinstall the xperia z flash driver,fastboot driver n adb drivers found in C drive >flashtool >drivers

open the package the install the driver.

restart your laptop open flashtool and

now press volume upkey and power button (keep pressed both keys until you feel 4 vibrations)

now press volume down key and insert usb cable

see flashtool detects the mobile in flash mode...wait for 2 min drivers will be installed for the mobile.

if it gets detected in flashtool than flash it as i mention in above post..

---------- Post added at 07:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:17 AM ----------

it charges quickly as compared to build .67

battery last goods compared to previous

it has got whole z1UI actually to be true you will feel as of you are owning Z1.

yes it has got some minor bugs but as i told its not final build.

dont wait just flash it..

and after sony releases final build for your region just downgrade to your original fw and update it by using pc companion or use build prop to update it..

but build prop. editing needs rooted device

so downgrading to previous fw and upgrading to 4.3 is good idea :laugh:
[Xperia Z General] totzkitotz:
ok sir, I'll try the one you said..hope it works now :( thanks again...

another question sir, when i connect my Z to the usb charger, the led notification light becomes red...and then when i disconnect it from the charger, it doesnt turn off ( the red led notification light )...how will i turn it off in order to follow the steps you said a while ago sir? about the holding of power on + volume down? :confused:

yep good but you flashed the whole rom instead of only kernel.

but its good to watch your Z back to life again:D
[Xperia Z General] Hellscythe:
ummm. thats not rom related. my xperia z has been getting that sort of battery life on stock rom, stock based custom roms, and aosp/cm.
[Xperia Z General] TheKingOfPain:
That's not related to the ROM, but to the fact that this device has got a pretty "small" battery (2300 mAh) for a FullHD screen, and bad optimisation. The only way you're going to get good battery life is to wait for a custom kernel with undervolting capabilities (see DooMKernel), then use Incredicontrol/NoFrills plus Greenify or Titanium Backup Pro to put to hibernate/freeze some apps.
[Xperia Z General] theskig:

after you flash the whole rom, your phone is unable to boot because the kernel is old, (you didn't flash it)

Just let me tell my story.

I've flashed ftf file without data to upgrade 4.3, also i have all my apps and data.

Later, i've decided to gain root acces. Because of there is no way to root new fw, that seems to only way to downgrade, root okd fw. After that use nut's package to update.

After i've flashed old fw, i've stuck in boot loot. 67 or 423 any of them could not boot properly. Only if i flash 529 i can boot device.

As last chance, flashed full 423 incuding data partition, so phone booted in factory state.

After that rooted with doomlords method.

By the way, if you flash data partition, you will lose internal sdcard data.
