For me to be safe. I would flash the stock rom ftf file over CM/AOSP then follow the steps from the first post.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] gkassar:
hmm i think ur right

it would take more time but surely safer

great ROM, great battery life, but is it only me that's getting Force Close error for Settings when I try to go to Language & Input and/or change manually Sync Options for Google account? apart from these 2 oddities - it's very stable release, even better than Sony's stock one I was using before.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] thefunkygibbon:
I installed this rom yesterday but i'm struggling to get into a few settings pages without it force closing. any ideas?

specifically when i want to go in to any of the accounts settings or input settings. so basically i cannot tell it to sync automatically and also cannot change keyboards :(

help?

On the 3rd post it says in the box "Notes" that you should try to replace your settings.apk. See that post for more information and a download-link.

Edit:

To be a bit clearer to those, who have problems with settings.

1. Go into your settings -> security -> allow to install apps from unknown origin. This one is imported or you will loose your settings-app until you install this rom again.

2. Copy the iHackers settings.apk to system/priv-app and replace the settings.apk there

3. Install the new settings.apk

Hi, I've have just rooted my z1 and install recovery, I'm on 4.4.4

, dint need install, Oficial FTF for Firmware 14.1.G.1.534. If so do his through recovery, or can I just flash with out. Sorry I'd it's stupid question, I've come over from HTC and that was already rooted thanks
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] eddvys:
Am what? Your question is misleading. If you on 4.4 fw you most probably already on 757 or 108 or 133 but still that's not a case. Why would you need to downgrade? Check if your bootloader is locked or unlocked. Flash necessary recovery like NUT's or CWM or philz dual recovery never mind. Get rom put on your phone memory, eneter recovery do a full wipe flash rom. Done.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] coletrickle79:
Sorry I'm on 108 already and have lockrd bootloader, the reason I ask is in the instructions it says to put a certain firmware on then go through root again and install recovery, but I already have this. Thus us what confused me, can I just wipe, and flash ROM. Sorry for noob question, thanks for the help
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] coletrickle79:
my z1 is rooted with lb,duel recovery and firmware 108, currently not running custom rom, what i wanted to know is can i just flash this rom through recovey or do i need to follow all steps on instructions?

do i need to Install Kernel and baseband .108 c6903 with flash tool or do i have this already as my firmware is 108,?

i used to use a htc one x rooted but flash through fast boot. boot.img first then recovery and flash rom.

I've been told to just wipe, flash ROM and re boot, is this correct

just wanted to make sure i get it right and dont flash anything i dont need too

Thanks for the help guys
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] coletrickle79:
ok, im on 108, ive got no custom rom just root and custom recovery, so your saying just download rom, wipe and flash via cwm or twep, no need to use flash tool for Install of Kernel and baseband , i know i sound stupid but this is first time rooted sony not used to sony way yet,
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] eddvys:
Make sure you have unlocked bootloader, otherwise you won't be able to use custom kernels and you will end up boot-loops. And its not a stupid we all were there once. Good luck. If something you can pm me no problem. Btw there are roms that you can use with locked BL and in that case you wont lose vivid/xreality. Also I forgot to mention to make a backup of your TA partition.

remove Crossbreed. Also I did not see this mentioned anywhere, and can't be removed as a regular Application

possibility to uninstall Root file manager and other preinstalled apps

AnonymousData.apk

com.qualcomm.location.apk

qcsemcservice.apk

Stk.apk

Dead Phone after install

Hi,

I've attempted to install this ROM, but without success.

I have root, Dual Recovery and firmware version .257.

I copied the ZIP file to the SDCard (ext), booted the phone into TWRP and installed from ZIP.

Once complete, I shut down and then installed the baseband/kernel ftf from flashtool (no errors in flashtool).

I then power on the phone and.... nothing! It gives a short vibrate, but that's it - no light, no screen coming on, absolutley nothing.

I flash the original .534 back using flashtool and the phone boots up again, but I've then lost Dual Recovery (and root, obviously), so have to start from scratch again.

Any ideas? Am I missing a step somewhere?

- Wayne
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] cgomezparra:
Try again, if you have .534, root and install Dual Recovery, then flash the ROM, after that turn off the device and flash everything except system without wipe anything for 14.2.A.0.290 in flashtool.

Good luck.....

I went from stock rooted 4.2.2 to this + doomkernel and the battery life dropped a lot.

I have the same apps and same settings as before.

I used my phone this morning as usual. Few sms, about 3 - 4h of music. Usually i got home with 70+%, today i got 26%.

The device doesnt seem to be constantly awake and i am using stamina mode.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] trahzebuck:
Are you serious?

DooMLoRD Kernel is a high performance kernel. This might cost some juice.

If you think your device is constantly awake, check it with BBS. Follow the threads for BBS and see which app / service keeps your device awake.

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] trahzebuck:
First and important thing. Don't panic!

Is your BL locked or unlocked?

Flash with flashtool stock Firmware. LB: 14.1.G.1.534 / UB: 14.2.A.0.290. Check if your device is ok. It should be.

Then follow the instructions in post #3 again. You should be fine then...
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] pisti7204:
This method not working on 4.3 ROM's with unlocked bootloader. The X-Reality still not active, and you change the system files to 4.2.2 versions, so if you restore your saved TA, must restore that files too to get back X-Reality, or you must restore your system from backup. Tested myself.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] :
Well this is my method i was using ROMAUR v4.0 4.3, if you guys do not want to downgrade everything to get this version of iHackers i suggest you to follow me:

1- get your device ready

2- in ROMAUR thread find the recovery zip that should be flashed for Locked Bootloader you should put that on your SDCARD before installing XZDR.

3- install the XZDR latest version is 2.7.60 BETA windows

4- do not reboot or anything, flash iHackers 1.0 and then flash the recovery downloaded from ROMAUR thread

5- Power off, select disable recovery flash and wait like 5sec then BOOT your phone if everything is fine, you should be able to get what you wanted, if you do not have network reception, flash kernel .290 using flashtool

PRESS THE THANKS BUTTON IF IT HELPS YOU :)

I'm the proud owner of a Telcel branded, locked BL, Z1.

I'd like to give this minimal ROM a try.

I read among the last step to flash kernel tft's for either C9602 or C9603.

What file should I use?

Or would either file brick my phone and I should wait for the actual C9606 tft to leak?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] hieupham7485:
You should wait instead of trying any of 2 file for c6902 or c6903. It's not safe when try a ftf diffirent with your phone's.

LB and O2 ?

Anybody get this to work on a Locked Bootloader?

What about a locked bootloader and O2 locked phone?

I'm still having no luck after following the instructions.

If you install the ROM and LB Recovery and switch it on (only did this as a test) it will power up to the Sony logo (doesn't go further, though) and you can get back into Recovery. The phone goes dead after flashing the kernel/baseband.

Xposed Activation

I have resolved the previous issue, but I have new one :D, it is about activating the Xposed Framework. It installs fine, but after reboot, it still says not activated... Does anybody have a solution?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] rage77:
I'm pretty sure this is as good as it gets right now. I don't think anyone with a locked BL will be able to get _full_ root right now, which is why xposed framework won't be able to install correctly.

I have the exact same problem, also Ad Away ad-blocker will have the same problem merging the hosts file in system.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] adamo86:
I wanted to know with Lb why do we need to back up TA ?.is it because in the process of installing the rom the boot loader gets unlocked or is it for precaution.thanks

Other ROm

In the other ROm, which I used before (ROmAur 4.1) I have no issue what so ever with Xposed.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] tiunilohmu:
Could you able to make it work?

Can you explain more detail about how to get the x-reality work with unlocked BL if you can, thanks
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] pisti7204:
If you unlocked your BL without saving TA partition before unlocking, you must say good bye for X-Reality forever! Your DRM keys lost forever, and you can use your own keys only, restoring from other phone = hardbrick your phone.

So, if you unlocking your BL first time, when you are on 4.3 rooted ROM, BEFORE unlocking make a backup with BackupTA (http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2292598). Save it carefully because inside this backup you have your individual DRM keys, and if they're lost, lost forever!

After unlocking bootloader just repeat backup process (not overwriting original file....), now with unlocked BL informations inside the backup.

And now, if you wanna relock your bootloder, restore original, first backup, and if you need unlocked bootloader, restore second! So if you like xposed, install it in unlocked state, with desired modules, reboot phone, and restore Locked state backup of your TA partition! The magic is done: you have working Xposed, and working X-Reality! This method you can use for every application that needs RW access to your /system, because you can write it just in UL BL state...
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] zhihao4456:
it is save to unlock your bootloader from the official version 4.3~ but it is still better to have a backup TA
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] jos_031:
It is safe.. but will lose all DRM keys.. which include all x-reality and bionz algorithm.. but all function will work. so it is always better to take backup TA.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] pisti7204:
Yes, you're right, the backup is MANDATORY, not optional before unlocking BL.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] zhihao4456:
which kernel is the best to use with for more battery saving? doom kernel or the one provided Kernel.ftf for C6903 (.290)?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] adamo86:
I have made a backup on TA on 257 do I need to make another backup on 290 or is one backup sufficient.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] mamenvn:
I have just restore the TA to locked BL, how to know my TA (x-reality, bionz...) is running or not?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] pisti7204:
Open picture in Album, and you can see that the picture slightly enhances itself...Contrast and color saturation better after one second. But if your TA backup made with original, never unlocked bootloader, you can believe that after restoring your DRM keys are intact again.

---------- Post added at 06:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:41 PM ----------

The TA partition is ROM independent, so no, new backup is not necessary!
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] fer2503:
So this rom works with root and recovery or Not?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Hobbes2099:
What would happen if I skipped the last tft flash?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] tiunilohmu:
Thank you got your reply.

So let me make it straight.

I backup my TA in 4.2.2 Locked BL already, then I installed 4.3 and unlocked BL and running custom kernel with all xposed modules and RW working fine.

So, now I need to back my current 4.3 TA?

Then flash back stock kernel.

Then restore the 4.2.2 TA, and then restore 4.3 TA?

I'm not sure I understand.

So in order to get X-reality work, it needs to be in Locked BL, correct?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] pisti7204:
Yes, X-Reality working only when your BL in locked state, with original DRM keys. And yes, you must be on stock kernel, if not, after relocking bootloder your phone will not boot anymore! But after restoring stock kernel do not restore both, only one backed up TA: if you need a relocked BL, flash the "4.2.2" (as it's made in locked state), if you need unlocked, flash the "4.3" TA (as it's made in unlocked state).

So, install everything in actual state, reflash stock kernel, and restore only 4.2.2 TA, nothing else! And voila: xposed working, and you can enjoy the magic of x-reality! ;)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Zerousen:
Nevermind.

Perfect, thank you.

i just, tried exactly all steps.

in the first try, after flashing the ftf kernel, the phone wont start, just vibrates.

I go back step by step, flashing the 534 rom, root, etc.... and after flashing the ftf kernel, the phone wont start, vibrates, or any led. Also, flash tool don't detect the phone with volume down button. i tried volume up + power and nothing, the little red button near the sim card.

Please Help!.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] adamo86:
That happened to me.

Will tell you what to do.

First charge your phone properly.

Check in firmware folder in flashtool if there is any other folder if there is delete it.I think the folder called 'pre...'

Then reset with red button (hold button until it vibrates couple of times).

Then hold volume down for a while before you connect the USB.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] fjoel:
Thank you!!, how much time i need to press the red button?

i wait almost 4 minutes and no signal.

and before of this problem my battery was at 97%. right now is conected, but no red led signal.

you poke and hold red button Roughly 2seconds until it vibrates twice if I remember correctly, then hold volume down and connect usb.also wait for led to blink green before u let go of volume button.

Any news on the tft kernel file for the C9606 version?

Still interested in trying this ROM.

I'd be happy to help devs with my phone to obtain the needed files.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] iHackers:
Do you have the ftf for it? If you do have do the following steps:

Make a copy of the ftf, Open it with 7-Zip or something similar, delete everything except (boot, META-INF, amss_fsg.sin, amss_fs_1.sin, amss_fs_2.sin, boot_delivery.xml, kernel.sin, loader.sin, rpm.sin).

Send it to me. You can flash it as your kernel.

The firmware files should be the same as C6903 that are included as default in the ROM but just to be sure Follow these steps to get your own:

If you know how to dump a ftf to extract files, then thats great.

If you don't then simply use root explorer to copy these files (system/etc/firmware/ - wlan, mba.b00, modem.b01, modem.mdt).

Send them to me. You can replace them with the ones in the ROM and simply select C6903 in the Aroma Installer while installing.
