I flashed his rom and it works great. YOU and only YOU did something wrong. You can't blame anyone for your mistakes.

Try to hold power and volume up not like some of you said 3xvolume up. Then it should vibrate 3 times... Then you should try holding down volume down and plugging in a USB cable while holding vol down. It should go into flash mode.

If that doesn't work then try pressing small Square with off writing under the right flap and then try to boot into flash mode the same way with vol down.

If this doesn't work then your phone truly is bricked.

It might have happened because you could flash for example C6903 on a C6943 phone. I think that this is exactly what you did by blindly following the steps without actually reading the entire thread.

Have a good day.

Yes it may be, mine was on ihackers v2.0 rom and it's run great.

After that i flashed this rom and it's in boot loop and again i flashed it to stock .534 and rooted with vroot and flash with cwm recovery.

After flashing second time it turn off and never come back.

I don't blame on anyone, I did blame on my self :D may be i did the wrong steps on flashing.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rekoil:
I doubt the issue is related to monx's ROM, too many others have had 4.3 related issues with symptoms identical to yours for it to be a coincidence. I reckon there is something seriously wrong with the 4.3 release (likely related to battery) which is presenting with these symptoms on some peoples devices. I'd try to get it repaired from Sony before replacing motherboards out of your own pocket. Most likely they are not even gonna check what ROM is on the mainboard since seemingly they are unable to access it themselves, and if they can, then they can repair it and wont charge you $300.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Just2Cause:
Yeah, going to Sony service center is a must before trying anything related to opening the device and change some parts.

Here in MEA, I asked someone from Sony service center if rooting voids my warranty, he said no. So I asked about unlocking bootloader and he said "Even if you change the OS your warranty won't be void". :silly:

I really doubt that he knows what he's talking about :silly:, but it's good to take it to service center as long as it's still under warranty.

LOCKED BOOTLOADER

BACKUP any critical data to microSD

Copy this rom zip package to microSD

Flash stock Sony's firmware (FTF) 14.1.G.1.534 using flashtools if u r not currently running on this fw version

Root using any available method (VROOT recommended)

Install ONLY THIS recovery (TWRP) unpack & read readme.txt for instructions | check for superuser prompt (if any) [vroot is using its own supersuser app]

Reboot in recovery, do factory reset & install rom until finish

Skip (x) steps if u already running same base firmware with latest monxDIFIED base rom. Else, proceed.

(x) Turn off device. (Hold power button + vol up until vibrates 3 times) [or use recovery turn off device option, if any]

(x) Flash latest Sony's firmware (FTF) matching current latest monxDIFIED base rom using latest flashtools. UNCHECK all WIPE options and CHECK all EXCLUDE options except KERNEL & BASEBAND to get latest matched kernel & baseband.

(x) for upgrading from Android 4.2.2 to 4.3 UNCKECK all WIPE options and CHECK only SYSTEM & TA in EXCLUDE options

（This is a new step added by him later. I didn't do this）

(x) Turn on phone. Done.

========================================

I did all the action, and then the phone completely bricked

I use Android phones for three years, flash ROM for numerous times,and never needed repairs.

Buy this phone it took me a month's salary, now you can understand why I so angry?

My phone does not warranty. I had to spend about $ 130 to replace the motherboard.

If i can go to SONY sale , it might takes me about 2,000 yuan, about $ 300.

I endured the pain, spent a week looking for solutions, but no effect, or even open the phone and re-plug the battery, do not work.

YES! He does not work for me, I did not pay him money, but he produced a ROM without examination BUG carefully,

there are so many people's Z1 scrapped, we can not complain about it?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wsdy0001:
I searched all similar cases, about LT28 and Google nexus4, or even completely identical performance failures, still can not fix my phone.

Also, I was an electronic product development engineer, I was able to skillfully operate Android phones, know how to update the ROM / Recovery / Kernel / unlock and lock Bootloader, or even modify apk files by myself. After the phone into a brick, I've tried all the known way to repair.

Finally, I open the phone, charging the battery, and then the phone absolutely no response. No flashing red light when charging. At least now you know, open the back cover can not be repaired. Hurry to the maintenance department, there is no other way, at least I think so.

I post this link because I'm still convinced your device isn't bricked. It just changes it's state so Windows doesn't recognize the device well on faulty driver installations and isn't able to detect the Fastboot mode... This is a new approach of facilitating the installation of those drivers...

After flashing the ROM, the phone does not have any reaction, whether you press any key or key combination.

No blue light mode or green light mode, the screen never turns on. Etc.

After the battery is depleted, plug in the charger, the red light will blink once a second.

If you use the IPAD charger to charge, the red light will stay on for about 20 minutes, then turn off.

After plugging the computer will recognize the USB input device.

Flashtool Report: device is connected but not open USB debugging mode.

That's all phenomenon.

After re-plug the charged battery, Windows no longer has any reaction

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamespmi:
I understood you perfectly. It was just for your information as Windows ADB installation is quite a headache...

If your phone isn't entering Fastboot there has still to be a possibility to get Sony SUS Recovery working. But the Windows ADB drivers have to tell the proper state and this is not always guaranteed even you think you have the right ones installed as it worked before on other flash attempts. Similar stories happened to Xperias Tablets with the PureDriver STS R5A ADB driver...

Folks having problems with their bricked phone have two possibilities: give it a try or staring at a bricked phone.

It sounds like you killed the battery while flashing, not the phone entirely. It may be possible to either replace the battery or bring it back to life by forcing it to charge. This may also be the same problem [MENTION=5631994]wsdy0001[/MENTION] is having, but he has complicated the matter by trying many things, so I'm not sure.

I don't know the specifications for this battery, so I cannot tell you how to charge it manually.

I'm afraid you can not use my way to replace the motherboard. I was purchased from www.taobao.com ,whitch is China's largest C2C website to replace the motherboard, the seller is not SONY's staff, just a phone repairer.

Only three stores on the entire website provide services to replace the Z1's motherboard.

I estimate that the store can contact to someone who is working in SONY's factories in Beijing, change for a new motherboard with a bad motherboard,through irregular channels.

Anyway, I spent a lot of money to repaired my phone, I hope you good luck.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rekoil:
Is it actually a prototype of the C6902, or are you just under the impression that C6902 means prototype? Because C6902 does not mean prototype, it just means its from the North American market and doesn't have an LTE modem. It is otherwise identical to a retail C6903.

I dont use it since I have the Wifi version so I only ise it at home and there is always a charger around.

I also got around 9 hours or more screen time. But I dont game so much. Mostly I read things like news, maga and browsing

And the main point is that the power saves is for:

1. Limit cpu

2. Limit screen brightness

3. Disable vibration

my reasons:

1. The tab lags already now so I want to use full cpu force

2. Brighter is easier to read

3. I like haptic feedback

I use it when I am not doing heavy stuff. It extends the battery life a bit even when I do not turn down the screen brightness (Need to manually adjust up after clicking powersave). It drops the Quadrant benchmark from 19xxx to about 11xxx and for me I do not see any real lag by doing this and would guess 30% gain in battery depending on what I am doing normally.

So I've got xbmc all up and running, torrents, hulu, and all.

My only question is, is there a working Netflix plugin? (I do have a Netflix account)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kingdazy:
much to the dismay of the xbmc/htpc fans, no*. netflix has that **** locked down tighter than a gnats arse. they don't release their api to the public, and anytime anyone has it figured out, they plug it up. on the reasoning of "drm", of course.

on a phone, no real big deal, you just close xbmc, open netflix. whatever. but for people (like myself) who are htpc hobbyists, and have a dedicated pc that IS their TV interface, thats a damn pain. shut down the whole interface, losing the "seamless" facade of the 10 ft interface, just to open a browser and get to netflix. bah. seeing the windows desktop on my tv really kills the magic. (so I just switch over to my ps3, load it there)

*so, in truth, there IS a plugin for netflix. but what it does is.... you guessed it, opens a browser window to load netflix. have not tried it for my phone. on an htpc it blows. looks crappy, and breaks several of the remote functions.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kingdazy:
Just a note here folks, just because xbmc has an add-on for a particular service or content host, does not imply free access to that content.

Most plug-ins are not approved by said content providers. Anything that would require a web-based login likely requires that same login to work on xbmc. Like my NHL Center Ice subscription as an example. Works fairly the same as the ps3 add-on for this content, with the added "feature" of no location awareness (ip checking), so I can view games in blackout for my area. (Go Flyers!) As you can imagine, NBC would not approve of this.

That being said, there are addon repositories that are off the xbmc projects radar that have... features similar... that might be construed as "warez", and so not suitable for discussion on these boards, dig?

(sorry man if that came of sounding like an accusation. Lol, it's a sensitive subject, we get people all over the xbmc boards asking questions like "how du I getz free (insert paid content here)?!1!" and you sir are an upstanding community member with integrity, and I know this. ?)
