My phone is stuck in a bootloop. It shows the Sony logo, turns off, led turns red, and then restarts. My phone is bootloader unlocked.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] :
On v 2.1 I have a lot of reboots. Every time I start my phone it reboots after 1-2 minutes. For now I'm back to JellyBean.

I did a clean intall and my bootloader is unlocked.

I found a bug I think...

since v2.1 i'm not able to access the extern sd card. the fileexplorer says that the external memory has a write protection but it hasn't.

even Titanium can't access the backup folder on the sd card.

on my computer everything seems fine. I also tried another sd card and ecountered the same issue
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] cicci0:
hi, I installed the rom as a guide (unlocked bootloader).

I have a problem with the camera.

The camera does not capture the photo, I press the button but nothing happens.

The front-facing camera and video work instead.

Solutions?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] hunhool:
Hi,

I've had the same reboot problem,so I flashed the file,but lost the advanced reboot option.

Is that normal?

Can we expect an update,because its very useful in your rom.

There is no any other bug found so far.

Well done,a very good rom!

Thanks for sharing!

For me there are no reboots. System is stable and smooth.

The only problem I have is that Smartcalling from xperia z2 is not working. I have tried to flash ROM again but the issue is still there. If someone knows how to fix it I'd be grateful.

Hi, I flashed the rom but for my first boot, I have a Sony bootloop logo.

Any ideas??

I installed Paranoid Gapps.

Edit : I retried without Gapps, same.

Thank you.

PS : I tested latest official 03/29 Cyanogend and it works... The problem is only with this rom, too bad.

PS 2: does this rom include original camera app from Z1C?

PS 3 : does someone can upload screenshots of the rom please?

Today I noticed the problem that the external SD card was not writeable. This maybe a Kitkat bug.

Hey! This rom looks awesome, but I'm having a hard time gathering information on what would be the easiest/best way to install this?

All over Z1C forums there are threads stating this and that regarding locked/unlocked bootloader.

What are the benefits/downsides of unlocking the bootloader, and vice versa with locked bootloader?

Right now I'm running fully stock, unrooted/locked bootloader latest Kitkat 14.3.A.0.681 (in other words, I haven't touched a thing :P)

What would be the easiest way to install this rom given these facts?

Sorry for OT! :o
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] vinci-vap:
which method did you used?

with flashable zip or did you replaced the platform.xml file?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] kiza40:
After installing that module, power button work fine.

But there are other problems:

* When rebooting into Recovery, recovery screen is very dark with large fonts. Was not like that before installing the module

* Will not install zip from Recovery (Tried external SD card write zip).

Thanks!
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] hunhool:
Do you think these problem were caused by installing the app from the link provided?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] kiza40:
I was on 2.0 and have installed those two apps. Something went wrong with recovery and when I tried to flash 2.1, As installing Zip file was not successful , ended up with bricked phone.

Had to restore with SEUS and now I am with stock unrooted KK.

I believe somebody else was also having issues with installing Zips, after Xposed module (App) was installed.

Any suggestion?

Auto answer me: With UP volume and power 10 seconds, the phone is reseted and started again in flashmode.

No I've flashed the kernel.

The new problem is that I can't install rom with recovery because sdcard1 is not mounted. :(

---------- Post added at 10:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:33 PM ----------

What a nightmare. Now Sony logo is apearing and disapearing continuously. I've lost PhilZ Touch too. Should I flash v2.0 before 2.1?

I'm start to think in give up.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] nirurin:
Still keeping an eye on this thread, as I would prefer a kitkat rom over a stock kitkat for various reasons. However it does seem like the Rom is not quite stable enough for a daily driver yet. If anyone has a fully successful install with this rom please let us know :)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] tndb:
The rom works perfectly fine for me, still on v2.0 and didnt try or upgrade to 2.1 since it was working perfectly fine.

I think the ppl that have problems didnt read the instructions properly, didnt wipe/factory reset or skipped a step or 2. Im running on locked bootloader so not sure if ppl may have various trouble with the unlocked bootloader flash but either way im very happy for hte rom and not having the annoyance from 4.3 when you are in a call and are about to hang up, the display and touch reacts asap on kitkat whereas it takes a few seconds on 4.3 among other things.

Coming from samsung and nexus phones I can say that the flashing procedure is quite more work on the sony so im not suprised if ppl do happen to make mistakes. Reading the instructions at first can be hard as you need to research a few bits which isnt always covered in the flash guide if youre used to flashing other brands of phones where they use different programs and different ways to do it but if something is unclear, then just ask and hopefully one of us will answer :)

Only thing I really miss now is the z2 timelapse video cam properly ported to our phones with 120fps. Hoping we have some good progress on that soon :good:

Hi

I'm having trouble of Bootloop while installing this rom on my Z1C with Locked bootloader :rolleyes:.

After flashing the KK Kernel, I'm stuck in bootloop.

Maybe i'm doing something wrong because i don't understand your 9th step.

Could you explain more of this step please ?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] e2zippo:
I'm having this problem to, and I really made sure I wiped everything before, I went straight to 2.1 from stock.

I'm on UL bootloader.

ROM looks great so far, but I really need my camera, hope this will be solved soon! :cool:

Edit: to be clear, camera won't focus either, no matter what application I use.

Any one know how to solve this?

Also, I have two camera applications, is that because I chose Google Apps in Aroma?

Cheers!
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] kiza40:
Can it be installed on un rooted phone and will it become rooted after flashing?

[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] zxz0O0:
Well you need a custom recovery to flash it.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] kiza40:

It would be nice if the rom developer could give a feedback to this problem.

I have the same problem with the camera - installed after wipe and factory reset on unlocked device. Using the FW-681 v03 Doomkernel.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] leddra2k:
nice to have the kitkat version now, only trouble is my fitbit band doesnt work with the bluetooth and the app you download, so will have to stick with the ONLINE 1.2 for the time being! The fitbit does work with the official stock rom for 4.4.2 so not to sure what the issue could be! :(
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] nirurin:
Have you not had the power button problem, or the camera problem, or any bluetooth problems? All three of these issues seem to be coming up for people still, and I require the camera to work and the bluetooth on a daily basis.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] tndb:
Power button issue was solved with a flashable zip update, my camera works just fine but bluetooth I havent tried tbh. Many issues are rather bootloops or other stuff which most certainly is due to not reading instructions properly which ive mentioned. I also wrote that some issues might be because of unlocked bootloader (camera perhaps?) since im running on locked bootloader and stuff works for me.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] gluton:
Does one of you manage to mount system in r/w on locked bootloader ?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] zxz0O0:
You need to have the latest dualrecovery.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] e2zippo:
Any news on the camera, is it limited to people with unlocked bootloader?

Is a fix near at hand? Otherwise I might return to stock (rooted), and if I want to do that, what would be the best way?

REKOGNÍZED KONYHABÚTOR :D
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] Cheech1976:
4.4.2 is giving me huge problems and 4.3 was rock stable, so i wanted to reflash the V1.2 with locked bootloader and the file I have to flash with flashboot the last step before rebooting the system is missing.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] Cheech1976:
Sorry if I start cluttering this thread, but I do have another question :)

What is the reason for the boot loop after following the instruction? I just can´t get it to boot with 4.4.2.

I even tried it with an unlocked bootloader, it boots fine then, but I don´t get any signal, which renders the phone useless.

Do i have to flash v2.0 as well as v2.1, the latter directly after the other?

I´ve been in this Android business a long time, but I do feel very noobish ;)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] hunhool:
"I´ve been in this Android business a long time, but I do feel very noobish"

try to upgrade to 4.4.2 first,then flash RomAur v2.1

[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] katsching:
if someone allready installed kk kernel you need to exclude the kernel from the FTF file.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] kiza40:
Easier said than done without detailed step by step guide. That is why I have asked auras76 to include info how to go from JB (rooted, locked bootloader) to RomAur v2.1.

I am coming from HTC and find Sony not as straightforward.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] zxz0O0:
He has locked bootloader. Doomlord kernel is for unlocked bootloader.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] kiza40:
Hi zxz0O0,

Can I use your: [GUIDE] Update to KitKat with locked bootloader & root

to change from JB to KK base, before flashing this ROM?

Thanks!
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] zxz0O0:
Yes it should be possible. Then start from step 10 on the first post (HOW TO INSTALL THIS ROM ON LOCKED BOOTLOADER).
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] kiza40:
I guess I should start from step 1 rather than step 10?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] zxz0O0:
Well, no it's not necessary to start from step 1. Because after following my guide you will already have KK rom with root (that's what step 1 - 9 is for). So you can start directly from step 10.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] kiza40:
I misunderstood you. You were thinking of RomAur v2.1 step 10, and I was about your JB 2 KK guide, Thanks!
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] crazyscow:
just updated to kitkat and like a lot of people i have the write to sd card problem. so my question is can i use this? (meaning from 1-3 including 3? btw in the Aroma i checked ext4 support when i was installing the wrong however it still doesnt seem to work.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] filthyfnj24:
This is my first post over in the z1c forums. I've done a fair share of reading and flashing and after a little trial and error I've got the latest version of RomAur up and running smooth with working camera and all.

My only issue is with the SD card, which from what I've read is a KK problem opposed to the rom. I have a 32 gb SD which has basically been rendered useless. I have formatted it several times, changed from exfat to fat32, tried changing the permissions, made sure it was writable, even installed SDfix from the market and my music still won't transfer over.

I have tried directly from my pc as well as while in the phone. The songs transfer but won't play with the Walkman app or poweramp. I know there is nothing wrong with the music because it's currently on my internal SD and working perfectly. I'm hoping someone can give me a little insight on the situation, and hopefully a fix, thanks in advance.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] zxz0O0:
