I'm new to flashing on my Z1. I've always had Nexus devices which are so much easier to work with.

After a couple of months with the phone stock, I decided to take the leap and downgrade, root and back up my TA partition so I could maybe have a play with some of the 4.4.2 roms. So far so good I've got this rom installed with fully functioning root.

My questions:

If I unlock the bootloader while running this rom do I keep my camera functioning? I know Sony fixed the issue with the 4.3 release but I'm not sure what's been altered to gain root and if that will effect anything?

If I decide to abandon modding my Z1, is it safe to now just flash a factory FTF to put it back to factory (UK Generic .290 in my case)? I tried to flash a .290 factory FTF yesterday over the .534 rom after rooting and backing up my TA but had a heart attack when my phone wouldn't boot, luckily I could still get it into fastboot and just reinstalled.

Thanks for reading!
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] timberwolf60:
Read the title properly. This was a locked bootloader stock rom, all worked perfectly. You need to fellow the instructions closely in the op and you will be success. I used this rom before and still can received ota upgrade from Sony. It was a stock rom.

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] kurtfhouse:
I have this installed no problem. It's more the issues around unlocking the bootloader and returning to stock from this rom I'm interested in. Have you actually run an OTA update successfully? I was offered the 136 upgrade on the 534 rom but after download it would fail to install.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] timberwolf60:
This rom was locked bootloader and if you wanted to go back to stock, you just need to flash a stock.FTF by flashtool or used pcc/OTA for upgrading.

Guys, I have a curious performance drop when using the Deodexed version of this rom.

I first thought it was placebo effect, but then Antutu and Quadrand confirmed my suspicious.

Odexed (original state of the rom): 33~33k @ Antutu

Deodexed my scores are around 24~26k @ Antutu

Someone else can confirm this?

I know, benchmark is only benchmark... I just want to figure out what's happening.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] schickel:
I have monx-ROM deodexed and get in AnTuTu 30227.

I can't find the right post from NUT, but he described once, that there is normally no reason for deodexing ROMs. He also say, why deodexed ROMs _could_ be slower starting apps. It was for 3 years ago a good thing, but now not more. See this post also: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=50232220&postcount=366
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] lbaquerizo:
I haven't deodex the Rom and just like that I get very good performance

Enviado desde mi C6902 mediante Tapatalk
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Rhadamg:
Thanks for the reply. I guess he is right. Although I don't understand why CM and other roms are still in that way.

The performance difference between then was so big that I felt the speed and then run the benchs to confirm.

Another problem: I have the habit to integrate the updates of the system files like Playstore, PlayServices, GMail, Facebook and so on using Titanium Backup. These files turns into deodexed when I do this. So maybe I need re-odex my system folder to achieve full speed again...

Just like me, around 33 to 34. Thanks for the reply =)

I'm on 1.136-de unbranded fw, flashed with FlashTool. Bootloader is unlocked, rooted and deodexed with nut's deodex.zip. A benchmark test with Antutu results in 35266 pts.

So I can't confirm, that deodexing has a negative effect on the performance; only the first boot after deodexing took longer.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] lbaquerizo:
Just Deodexed the Rom gona test it and post Antutu benchmarcks later
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] lbaquerizo:
Ok I Deodexed the Rom and boots a little bit slower but after that is very smooth.

In antutu it's weird cause first I got 26000 points and after I rebooted the phone I got 32000 so it's very extrange. I was reading comments in playstore and certain that the issue it's with antutu cause the rom feels better than before

Can anyone Help me ??

I have 2 Z1 and all i can do is complete upgrade 136 in this thread only for 1 Z1

My new Z1 don't boot After that :

- I flash .534 and Root + CWM OK !! Done

- I go to Recovery and flash 290 flashable.zip. Then power off the phone and connect to flashtool and flash kernel tripped

===> After that, my phone vibrate 1 time and don't boot.

- I flash .534 again and it boot normaly

- I go to Recovery and flash 316 flashable.zip. Then power off the phone and connect to flashtool and flash kernel tripped

==> After that again, my phone still vibrate 1 time and don't boot

I connect to flashtool and flash only kernel .534, then the phone boot up but that is bootloop because it's not .136 kernel.

So ANGRY because my first Z1 is very clean complete. But my 2nd Z1 is not. WHY ?? CAN ANYONE HELP ME ?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] lbaquerizo:
After a day of deodexing the rom I can definitely say after the rom settles well the benchmarks went up so I can safely recommend to deodex.

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] RHBH:
You'll need to downgrade to .534 FW, then root and update using the files on OP, you'll need wipe everything before flash the files in OP (check detailed instructions on . 290 root topic by [MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION] just remember to use the files on this topic.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] benchoz:
so that means i need to dowgrade from 136 to 534 then upgrade to 290?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] RHBH:
No.

Downgrade to . 534 then follow .290 root instructions (other topic) but use the .136 files.

You need do this way because you're not rooted at the moment and .534 was the last rootable firmware, also you'll need use the .290 instructions because you'll be going from a 4.2.2 FW to a 4.3 FW (so a wipe will be necessary).
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] timberwolf60:
Antutu results also depend of the CPU temperature. If the temperature more than 40°C and Antutu results will be greatly reduces.

It seems that your downloaded ZIp file is broken! No problem here, installed in TWRP.

Try to re-download on a PC, move the file into your phone's ext-sd card, and that presumably will solve your problem

Yes. Since this ROM using stock kernel, so you don't have to unlock your bootloader. That means your DRM key will be save.

I flashed the Generic International FTF (C6903_14.1.G.1.534_1277-2880_R4A) via Flash Tool over the stock bloated Japanese kernel without an issue, bought a SIM unlock code and unlocked it.

The only bummer is that all other ROM's besides the stock SOL23 software sees the full 32GB of onboard storage.

The rest are made for the regular 16GB models so I lose 16GB but it takes an external card so not a huge loss.

IMPORTANT NOTICE:

Because I have to prioritize the time I have between projects and my personal life as well as my business life got increasingly busy, I have decided this was the last package I have done for public release.

Anyone able and willing is invited to take over the magic wand of releasing these update packages. I will be working on expanding the toolkit used for it and will keep updating the DIY thread, working with who ever takes over to fix any issues in the ROM that might be caused by security issues. These will be implemented in XZDR as soon as a solution is found, so you will still see loads more from me, just no ROM packages.

The DIY thread: [DIY GUIDE] Create a personalized ROM yourself!

Ask any question on the process of creating these packages there.

I will be placing the files which I released under the Download tab on the DevDB bar, cleaning stuff from my private downloads server in the coming weeks. The last topics I did for the update packages will remain open but I will stop monitoring them as soon as the files have been put on the XDA file server.
