I'm not rooted so TBU is a no go for me. What other back up method would you suggest?

The main reason for rooting now is because I also received the 101 update notification. Better to root now before stuff really gets complicated... again, thanks for the help.
[Sony Xperia ZL] nexus 4 noob:
Looking forward to your new. 101 fw (flashable zip and stripped ftf). Got the Ota too for 35mb but won't install, guess because I am rooted(Lb)
[Sony Xperia ZL] Crash338:
I created that one too. I just didn't get a chance to upload it. Will do it either tonight or tomorrow... :highfive:
[Sony Xperia ZL] nojooms:
Would this work on C6502 model?
[Sony Xperia ZL] mr_esmit:
Did you upload the 101 FW yet?

What other method of back up can be used besides titanium BU? Thanks again.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Crash338:
C6502 and C6506 have a different chip inside from what I understand, also C6506 has 4G and not the C6502. I would download and flash the C6502 version on yours.

Besides, why would you want to flash my C6506 on your C6502 when the C6502 has already been released here:

[Sony Xperia ZL] Crash338:
You can find my 101 build here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2722894

As for other backup solution when you don't have root, I would consider the one provided by Sony called "Back up & restore".

I used it once, seems to be working nicely ... obviously you can only restore that data to another Sony device that is running that APK. Since you want to backup and then upgrade to the 101 build, I believe it is your best solution. Play around with it, try backing up and uninstall the app so you can try the restore function.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Torres77an:
So I'm rooted on 4.1 with cmw & twrp so all's I have to do is flash this in cmw¿ do I have to wipe any thing and Root it again or is it that easy to get on 4.3 and stay with root access ?
[Sony Xperia ZL] Crash338:
You only have to flash the zip in cwm, once flash is done, turn off your phone without rebooting and flash the stripped FTF using flashtool.

root and dual recovery will already be there.

But any special reason you want build 569?

I uploaded build 101 here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2722894

101 is the latest one, same install process as this one.

pick your poison! ;)
[Sony Xperia ZL] Torres77an:
No I just didn't really know the difference ..So where do I get the striped ftf though I think I may already have it I just want to make sure it's the same one ?
[Sony Xperia ZL] Crash338:
I included the stripped FTF with the ZIP. When you unrar both parts 1 & 2....both files will be there.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Torres77an:
Cool I guess all's I have to do is go home and download it on my pc as well then proceed as stated.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Crash338:
Yup, like I said, if you're looking for the latest one, get the 101 build.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Torres77an:
Yep downloading it but let's say one couldn't wait for a rooted 4.4 will we still have the option for an OTA ?
[Sony Xperia ZL] Crash338:
You will get the notification that an update is available via OTA but it will fail to install/update. Has been like this since the 4.3 (I think OTA was still working with 4.2.2 while root was on the phone).

When 4.4 gets released, I'm sure someone will come out with the exploit.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Torres77an:
It works good no problems at all.
[Sony Xperia ZL] mr_esmit:
Same here... Excellent thread.
[Sony Xperia ZL] clozecall:
I'm currently running the ZL (C6506) with CWM which was installed using this method (I still have a locked bootloader), would your above method really restore stock recovery?

If your files restore stock recovery and stock OS which do you recommend from your original post:

Official release of the C6506 4.3

OR

Flashable Zip and stripped FTF for rooted 4.3

Of the one you recommend, what are the instructions? I'm a little confused even though I read some of your other posts.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Crash338:
From what I understand, you want to restore the stock recovery, I assume then you want the phone back full 100% factory like when you first took it out of the box. ..... If that's the case just flash the Official release of the C6506 4.3 using Flashtool and you will be back to full stock.

But this is no longer the latest firmware, why don't you flash the stock 4.4.2?

After flashing this, you will be getting OTA for the latest firmware anyway since your bootloader is still locked, up to you.....
[Sony Xperia ZL] clozecall:
Thanks for the quick response. I was just going to use your files since I've already discovered them. :highfive: Then update OTA from there.

So basically flash :

From your OP using this from Sony? (Flashtool from Sony website) Cheers and keep up the great work!
[Sony Xperia ZL] Crash338:
Humm, I never used that one ... for our Sony phones, we always use this Flashtool on XDA:

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] affanabid:
HI,

I have a Galaxy S4 GT9505. I started facing a problem with the in-call audio today. When I can someone they cannot hear me and I cannot hear the m either. There is no ringing sound either. There is no sound even if I turn on the speaker. The earpiece and mic are working with other VoIP applications like Viber / Skype and Tango etc. Here is a list of things which I have done to resolve the issue but nothing seems to work so far:

1: Rebooting the phone

2. Rebooting by pulling the battery and simcard out and putting them again.

3. Factory Resetting the phone and wiping all data.

4. Pulling the battery out for 5 mins or so and putting it again in solved the problem for one or two calls but the problem again started soon after that.

I am running android 4.3 which i recently updated a month ago from stock 4.2.2. I havent tried flashing the phone or rooting it since I am not a big tech-geek but I really doubt it would work as some other posts have found it useless.

It is definately a software issue and I cant find any place which comes up with a specific solution to this problem. My gs4 is completely unlocked and I do not have a warranty claim since the phone was bought in another country,

Itll be really helpful if you guys can help me with this as the technicians here in Australia are a real ripoff when it comes to phone repairs.

Any help will be appreciated .

Thanks :)

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GodsGift:
Dear OP,

I had this with my S4 it went to the menders 3 times, each time they factory reset it and flashed latest and sent it back working.

(I had obviously already done this myself)

Then it would go again. After the third time enough was enough and I escalated it and the replaced it with a new handset and no more problems. I think this is a hardware issue and you're gonna have to get a replacement.

Search XDA for mine and others threads or go to O2 Community where there are a couple of others stories (mine included)

Cheers,

GG
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djvaliro:
Hello .. i have an S4 with almost the same problem .. incall sound is like an radio interference very strong ... about 90% and in the background i can hear the call only 10 % so its unuseable. I also want to specify this is only manifested on headphones handsfree (tryied many kinds same result), bluetooth works fine, voip / skype also.

The thing is i never made gsm calls (with headphones) between the firmare updates to be shure if it comes from the firmware

i9505

4.4.2

bb i9505xxugng8

unrooted

So from my experience i'm guessing the audio chip is almost at the end of life, so if that is true dont think any software sollution will fix this.

But if anyone has an idea, that would help.

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxbogart:
I had the same problem - no in-call audio, everything else working fine. GT-I9505 running 4.4.2. If I restarted the phone then in-call audio would work for a while, then stop again. It was getting to the stage where I couldn't rely on it working for more than half an hour. I searched the web and found lots of non-functional suggestions, I tried lots of things and this is what I ended up with:

1. I deleted the call logs. It didn't seem to help, but it may be relevant if the next steps don't work for you.

2. I restarted in Safe Mode. Even after about 3 hours I still had in-call audio, so it looks to be a software problem.

3. I then restarted in normal mode and after about 18 hours I still have in-call audio working. Not sure how long it will last, but it's a huge step forward for me.

Hope this works for you.

SOLUTION: Samsung Galaxy S4 I337 no audio sound during phone call.

SOLUTION: Samsung Galaxy S4 I337 no audio sound during phone call.

For me it was a bad SIM Card Reader or Module IF. But it could be a bad SIM card so try a new SIM before doing this repair or at least take it out and in.

My Service Repair Statement said it replaced two things:

Part Number Description

GH59-13279A Unit-SIM SD SOCKET; SGH-I377, 10-0013-0278

GH59-13111A MODULE-IF SUB FPCB(SGH-I337);SGH-I337,10

Called 800-726-7864 told them what the symptoms were and that the support line said it was the SIM Card Reader and they gave me a quote of $70.36 and seemed confident that the phone would be fixed. Sent to Samsung Repair Facility in Texas, total cost $70.36, and was without it for 9 days. It’s been working for 2 weeks now with no problems.

First I took it to an AT&T Service Center and all they really did was try a new SIM Card, next called Samsung Service 888-987-4357 and went thru a series of tests and they said it was a bad SIM card reader and gave me the repair center number.

Symptoms:

No audio / sound during a phone call on either side (caller or receiver)

Call connects everything is working, just no sound.

Sound for all other functions and apps works (music, voice recording, video audio).

You can tell it is going to happen when you make a call and you don’t hear any ringing just a click sound then nothing. If you hear ringing then the call will work.

Rebooting usual works for a call or two. Messing with some settings may get it to work for a period of time. But for me none of any of the other suggested fixes worked except rebooting and turning airplane mode on and off but it only fixed it for awhile.

I have used the phone for 1.5 years and never had a single hardware problem, didn’t have it heavily loaded (RAM or Memory). It just started one day out of the blue and drove me crazy.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnMcW:
Same for me, it was the sim card not seated properly.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yasmany.gutierrez:
Same Issue to me

See, i got a similar problem, when i make a phone call sometimes it works and sometimes the phone loses the sound. after a reboot the problem seem to be gone during a brief moment, then it lose sound again. I've tried all kind of software solutions and get some conclusions after reading a lot of posts.

First: Is a hardware issue. Is related to the sim card reader and the charging port.

I've started experiencing the Cannot detect your simcard problem and fix it with a piece of foam,(it actually works great). The sim card problem was hiding the sound issue because it constantly reboots the phone, 2-3 times a day, and even if it loses the sound i didn't realize because i have to restart because of the annoying pop up.

I'm on CM13 now, and was working great for a day or two. then it starts losing sound again, first was call audio only, then even when the phone try to make the unlock sound it freezes, get in an unresponsive state. When i hit the phone softly he makes the unlock sound and starts working really good. Then Ii think, let's try that when it loses sound anywhere else. Try to play a song and the phone freezes and no sound is coming from the speaker, little hit and starts playing. Try to call and freezes or start the call without sound, little hit and works great again. So…i started to wonder what if is the same sim card issue, a faulty connector, that make perfect sense to me. So given the fact that I cannot aquire replacements and the fact that i’m reallyyy cheap, i will try to use a piece of foam on the top of the charger connector as well as the sim card reader. I’ll keep you posted if that Works for me.
