Just find existing values in build.prop and change them to what you want,

######################## Customized property values #########################

ro.semc.version.cust=ro.semc.version.cust=1277-0154

ro.semc.version.cust_revision=R2B
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] meetdaleet:
Only changing the cust version and revision on build.prop with an editor will not have any effect...

Just when connection to PCC or receiving an OTA update (which is not possible after this root method) your device will be detected as an device with the cust version you've changed to. Either an OTA update with a changed value will not be successful (like before from .534 to .257) because the customizations on fw are even not the same :).

I was in .290 odex version with root working, then I updated to .136 deodex following the OT and I have problem to give root permissions to applications that require it (not show the poup up to give root permissions and the app crashes, I also tried with rootchecker and it says that the system is slow and than crashes, also some times i have random vibration :eek:). So I start again from 4.2.2 doing all the steps (first .290 then .136) and still nothing...Im doing something wrong? Better to use the odex version? :confused:

Hi,all

This is a little tutorial for the people that want MusicUnlimited and PLaystoremobile back:

-Make a nandroid backup

-Go with a file explorer to system/vendor/overlay and delete SemcMusic-Overlay-MUOFF-300.apk

-Go in Settings/Apps/All/WALKMAN/uninstall updates(if necessary)

-Reboot in recovery and flash the zip: https://app.box.com/s/b8j4stpcuij0v0ryt7si

-Wipe Cache/dalvik-cache

-Reboot your phone

I'm new in the sony android scene. I have unlocked bootloader and i'm on 14.2.A.1.136 - but how do i root?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] RHBH:
I recommend you flash SuperSU in recovery.

And to get a recovery like CWM or TWRP flash a Custom Kernel with recovery, there is one that works with 14.2.A.1.136: CWM-Based Recovery 6.0.4.6 + ROOT for Xperia Z1

And if you want go back to stock kernel and keep recovery, you can flash XZDualRecovery (using the custom kernel recovery) then turn off the phone and flash the stock kernel.

After this if you wish you can relock your bootloader with a TA backup (if you made one before unlock). And voila! Root + Recovery + Locked Bootloader.

Mistake

Hi everyone!!

I have make a big mistake !! when the flash of the zip in CWM recovery wa finished , the device reboot by itself!!! and when i realize it's too late after that i have flash the stripped ftf but the device is block on sony logo!!!

Can i just download any ftf and flash it on my Z1 and after do once again all steps???

sorry for my english and thanks for help!!!
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] RHBH:
Hold Power Button + Volume Up until you feel 3 vibrations (the device will power off, or at least it should).

Then try to continue and flash the stripped ftf.

If it doesn't work, I think the best will be restart the procedure.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] lordriguez:
Thanks ! but if does'nt work ,to restart the procedure i have to flash a ftf ? (because i can't access to the recovery!!!)

after struggling to get XPOSED working i noticed that my /system is mounted read-only.

i can remount it read-wright, but the XPOSED installer still can't do its job. it gets copied to it's place, but it just won't be activated after a reboot.

i'm on deodexed version of this.

what could i be doing wrong?

edit: there must be a bug in the supersu since i tried to start with a clean flash of the zip/deodex-zip. and then supersu didn't even prompt for root access. i couldn't really figure out what it was since i changed too many things at once.

which version of supersu do you all get after flashing this ROM? mine comes with 0.99?!
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] RHBH:
Yes, if it doesn't work flash full .534 FTF (the one that [MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION] provided in OP or you can lose your IMEI), root it, update to .290 using [MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION]'s method and then start again as you can see in OP.

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] steveeJ:
on this ROM cleanly installed, xposed framework gives me a hard time.

1. cannot use official framework installer. instead, I have successfully activated it with the installer apk from the xpsosed flashable zip for LB.

2. with gravity box need dalvik cache clean after some settings. these are included, but I'm sure there are more:

- traffic meter

- navigation bar

- status bar icons color

so if your phone hangs on bootanimation after changing these, just reset it and clean dalvik in recovery and you get your changes activated!

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] meetdaleet:
You can skip the 290 and flash the 136 directly from 534. After install has succeeded you just have to wipe cache+dalvik to prevent Bootloops.

(before install you have to wipe everything > I used the "Wipe to install new ROM" on CWM)

Hope it's the right beastie.

To be safe, which files or folders should I also copy to external SD from the TWRP backup?

When should I delete Dalvik-cache?

After flashing C69XX_14.2.A.1.136.flashable.zip OR

After flashing C69XX_14.2.A.1.136_Stripped.ftf

When should I restore my backup (to restore all my previous apps)?

After flashing C69XX_14.2.A.1.136.flashable.zip OR

After flashing C69XX_14.2.A.1.136_Stripped.ftf

OR Can I uncheck WIPE data when flashing (to keep current apps)?

Bootloops scare me. :D
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] [NUT]:
I was talking more in this line, I've just stitched 2 images together, I'm far from being a gfx artist, so consider this a bit or a concept to show what I mean :)

To update, follow OP, create backup, flash zip, flash FTF (it can't wipe data), enjoy :)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Riemen:
Backup to External SD and you are save.

I didn't delete Dalvik and it worked without any problem.

Flashing the zip and stripped.ftf won't delete Data, so all your apps and settings will still be present. Creating a backup is just an additional assurance.

If you have a bootloop, and you can still enter TWRP, just flash again. If not, just flash a .518 or .534 stock rom, root it, install dual recovery and restore your backup. There is nearly no way to brick your device, using this ROM and if you exactly follow the desciption in the OP, everything will go well.

Updateable over 14.2.a.0.290????

Is there a chance to flash this directly over the stock (unmodified, brand new device) 14.2.A.0.290? I just bought this device and wanted to know if there is any way to avoid downgrading, rooting (with the chinese software) and then upgrading... Maybe, as I have the very same version this could work...

Thanks in advance (and I apologize if someone thinks I should have RTFM... I have, I'm just looking for a shortcut...).
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] [NUT]:
The vibrations start as soon as an app does something requiring root and calls the su binary. You will also not see the log getting updated in the SuperSU app even when you just used a root enabled app. Can you do that and check it?

The BT and WIFI spontaneously connecting or disconnecting could possibly be an app which is controlling this. For WIFI i'd say check your stamina settings if you have location based wifi turned on (if so, it will activate wifi as soon as your location updates to something it knows). Some battery saver apps (like green power) do something similar...

Are you sure you don't have such app installed?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] [NUT]:
Well.. I'd not say RTFM, but at least stop cross posting, I already answered this question in the .290 thread :p
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] pdaaalex:
You are right, but you answered while I was deleting the other (wrong) post, and creating this.... apologizes...

Thank you for all the help.I did flash the rom then the stripped rom without the kernel and it is working good so far.I was on stock rom and U/L Bootloader.Is there anything I should worry about?

Thx:good:
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] SleemLDJ:
I think I have a problem and I'm not sure if anyone else has it.

At times when I reboot my phone, it gets stuck on the boot animation for ages without turning on.

I'd have to press the power button and volume up. It vibrates 3 times then turns off.

After 2 mins I try to turn on again and luckily, it works. Else I do the volume up and power button again.

Thing is why does it do this? Been happening since I was on. 290 and I made a fresh install for. 136.

Another thing is before this happens. Say I leave 50% battery. When it finally turns on I have like 30%.

Just doesn't feel right.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] [NUT]:
[MENTION=4336384]slimldj[/MENTION] run down the battery to 50% and then have it charge to full and then leave it connected for a few hours in offline charging mode.

2 things are possible here:

1 your battery is starting to fail

2 the battery gauge is off by quite some margin.

If 1, expect it to fail soon. If 2 the trick described above will fix it.

Random Access Memory sometimes keeps some of its contents when performing a hot reboot, confusing some of the core tools in the kernel ramdisk.

Power+vol-up does a battery reset, clearing that memory.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] steveeJ:
are you using xposed, and is there a chance you're changing settings inside your xposed modules between your reboots? your sympoms match mine, see my post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=50008910&postcount=286

i just never let it sit on the bootanimation for so long, only for 60-90 seconds, but it was also eating up 10-20% of my battery in that short time. my guess is that xposed does something very wrong with the dalvik cache, which is executed the next time it's loaded (on boot!).

Crazy idea

Could it be possible to update to 14​.​2​.​A​.​1​.​136​ from 14.1.G.1.534, seeing that the latter is the only one directly rootable ?

This would avoid the intermediary step of updating to 14.2.A.0.290, in case you have to flash everything in order to get root for some reason.

I looked at the 14.2.A.0.290 and 14​.​2​.​A​.​1​.​136​ flashable zips and some scripts are different, so if we put the scripts from the .290 zip in the .136 one (and perhaps modify them if necessary), could it work ?

Is there some other reason why the .136 update requires the .290 one as prerequisite ?

Looking forward to some answers...

Cheers !

Jus need to discuss one issue i am facing.that is,

Whenever i call someone and i put my phone to my ear and if immediately i want to see the screen at the same moment it took 1-1.5 sec to turn onn the screen again.

Sorry for my bad english but i hope you get what i want to deliver to you.

This is an issue (as reported by others too) in the .136 update (but not in all regions ?). For example, the Central Europe (1276-4314) FTF seems to have a shorter delay than the BAL one that this update is based on.

Maybe we could make an update based on the Central Europe FTF ?

Ahan or there is no any solution to set that delay timing?
