I think it happend when i flashed it with Fladhtool.

I will try to get some data back with some recovery program I might find.

But I really do not have dual recovery. Up and down puts me to philz.
[Xperia Z Android Development] bloodsuckingcomputer:
You are doing it wrong, there must be something that you did not follow, updated mine twice with not a single issue, my advice is, since now it is ruined, clean install mate, problem solve.

Yes, you will lose all the files, but I don't think it is recoverable anyway, since you mentioned it yourself that there was no back up. Wish you all the best.Clean Install.;)

U can deodex this rom using Android Kitchen
[Xperia Z Android Development] guybrush2099:

Could you plz tell that did you just update over .569 or format data and factory reset. I have all file I just want to conform that, should I update it over .569 or I cam format factory reset and wipe cache ...wipe dalvic cache n format system is it ok. Or just update over .569. Thanks in advance
[Xperia Z Android Development] Rajeev:
If u want ur old apps and data means just do a simple install

But i always prefer a clean install... Format and wipe all.. Will giv good results

i'm sorry, but how to root when i'm on stock 10.4.1.B.0.101, and instal recovery. Thanks so much.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Rajeev:
There is no method available for rooting and installing cwm recovery on stock . 101. I think u r on a locked bootloader..

Just downgrade to Android 4.2.2 and root it using Doomlord's method and install NUT's Dual recovery for locked bootloader...

Then flash . 101 rom zip and flash stripped . 101 kernel

thanks so much, have a nice day my friend.

Now I'm on unrooted and locked bootloader of 10.4.B.0.569 Stock ROM and I understand that I will have to downgrade to 4.2 then flash this ftf to get root.

But I have one doubt: do I have to wipe data and cache when I downgrade to 4.2? Because I install quite a few apps already on my system. Reinstalling them will surely take some time...:eek:
[Xperia Z Android Development] Rajeev:
Not needed.. But while flashing 4.2.2 ftf make sure u unchecked wipe data option from flashtool
[Xperia Z Android Development] jerryhou85:
That was a very quick reply, thanks!

So I'll only need to wipe cache?:confused:

The Software given in the Downloads (flashable & stripped) has Customization for Singapore-Edition (1270-1412).

Question:

Is it possible to change Customization Numer to -for example- Generic_DE (1271-0334) without losing root, TWRP, CMW etc. ?

It doesn´t matter, I think Software is the same. It´s just a question. If possible, I would like to change it to Generic_DE

it's not listed. :confused::confused::confused:

I believe that C6603_10.4.1.B.0.101_Stripped.zip is not a firmware file. Firmware file is .tft, though.

Is anyone else having problems with the speaker during calls after the upgrade to version 10.4.1.B.0.101?

When I pick up a phone call, the speaker mode is enabled by default, which is quite annoying.

The strange thing is that it doesn't happen all the time and I can't seem to figure out what it causes.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Gio_ital:
It's happening sometimes to me too and I'm on another rom right now
[Xperia Z Android Development] akisg:
Same here, using the rom from this thread..

Can't figure out what is causing this yet. It happens randomly. I only noticed that sometimes it happens right after a reboot and after a few calls, issue disappears..

Hi,

I am on 10.4.1.B.0.101 locked bootloader. Can I flash this ROM?

First of all I've tried to load XZDualRecovery. But I get this message "this device is not supported". I cannot flash(*.img) or load(install.bat).

If my device be unlocked, the device will void the guarantee. Are there any choices?

[Xperia Z Android Development] Rajeev:
You Can Flash Stock ftf in a Unlocked Bootloader. No Problem. After flashing Stock ftf root it and restore ur TA Backup if u have
[Xperia Z Android Development] shoey63:
Downgrade and root, install dual recovery and flash a prerootred rom.

Or unlock bootloader (make sure you have TA backup) And flash a kernel with recovery and root in recovery.

6.Flash everything in 'C66XX_10.4.1.B.0.101_Stripped.ftf' using flashtool;

Reboot to system.

I just want to ask, in step 5 says POWER OFF the device, then step 6 FLASH everything, Do i turn on the device first to flash everything or connect my device in Flashmode?? can i also flash this on my rooted .67fw??

How to enable init.d support:

Open a filemanager app and navigate to the location where the XZDualRecovery folder is located and go in to it. Open XZDR.prop as a text file and set dr.initd.active to true.

NOTE: For this guide ROM it means the init.d script called 99SuperSUDaemon will kick in to action, so it's best to disable (by setting chmod 644) /system/etc/install-recovery.sh for the time being or to clear it's contents.[/QUOTE]

I couldn't figure this out... :P... Can someone helpme out on enabling init.d without loosing root :-/ (setting chmod 644???)
[Xperia Z Android Development] airlessproject:
Hi all!

[MENTION=410007]Nut[/MENTION] could you explain this in a bit more detail, pls? (what do 99SuperSUDaemon and install-recovery.sh exactly do and why exactly to disable the latter, which time being and whose contents to be cleared)

Also I'd like to be sure whether this (or any other 6603) ROM works perfectly on 6602 (maybe the ROMs are the same),

and is it ok to wipe data/caches and flash this (because of migrating from a custom ROM)?

Thanks in advance,

Kind regards!
[Xperia Z Android Development] octessence:
Bit of a noob question..

Is TWRP the same thing as CWM or something different? I am on your previous 569 ROM (rooted but bootloader still locked). Before flashing I would normally create a nandroid in CWM. This time your instructions say to do a backup with TWRP. Apparently your last ROM has this but what is it and were do I access it?

Another noob question while I'm at it. Why is it necessary to flash both the zip and the ftf. Is the zip missing something that can only be done with FlashTool?

EDIT: Sorry found it. volume down instead of up.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Mackay53:
TWRP is another recovery and does the same job as CWM, You access it like CWM and hold a volume key during boot when the LED comes on

The separate FTF contains the kernel
[Xperia Z Android Development] octessence:
Forgive my nativity, but what's the point if it does the same thing?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Mackay53:
Preference
[Xperia Z Android Development] octessence:
Fair enough.
[Xperia Z Android Development] octessence:
Everything seems to have worked but after the update I can no longer get to CWM or TWRP using the volume up/down buttons. I can access CWM using the Quick boot app though.

Before I was waiting for the green light and then pressing the volume button either up or down a few times. This doesn't seem to work now so has something changed?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Aloosh99:
hi

i have update to 10.4.1.b.0.101 by software update... but i lost the root

[Xperia Z Android Development] octessence:
You need to downgrade to a rootable version, root that and then flash a ready rooted ROM like the one in this thread.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Ticklefish:
That happened to me. After a few reboots, it all seems to be working now though. I just use an app to reboot to recovery now though. Much simpler than mashing buttons.
[Xperia Z Android Development] leongzxc:
i guess its just like ROMS.. there are so many stock roms here that does the same thing, but its your own preference.. choosing which you prefer to install/use.
[Xperia Z Android Development] hutilicious:
Hi,

Im on CM 11. Do I really have to flash stock FTF in order to get this working? anyone tried?

I mean, system gets flashed and kernel gets flashed via ftf. So theres actually no reason being on stock? please correct me if im wrong.

Not needed... U r correct... no matter which rom u r. Just flash the zip then flash kernel and reboot.. Done

Thank you for help.

[Xperia Z Android Development] Rajeev:
I think u can use it bro
[Xperia Z Android Development] bonsai120:
mmm.... you think only or are you sure?

What's the difference between the country custom ftf?

Would I come in trouble with connecting local phone connections or other functions from carrier (regional settings) if I have flashed a custom from an other country/region without branding (generic)?

I found this to make correct ftf: http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z/general/info-xperia-z-firmware-customizations-t2287283

But if I check my current custom in system info in my phone I get 1270-4066 RC1. => 4066 I can't find in any list (.569 ROM)

When I look into the list, I find CH (Switzerland) generic for 6603 LTE:

REGION BRANDING CUST. NO. SI NUMBER

Switzerland Generic CH 1270-6188 1270-2775

Switzerland Generic CH 1270-6188 1271-7378

Which one is the correct one? => Ah found it! Only 1270-6188 is the custom number. SI numer doesn't matter.

Then I could make a ftf for Generic CH with this: http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z/general/guide-download-firmware-customization-t2311211

And after that flash by this actual advise in this thread here... :)

What do you think about this?

[Xperia Z Android Development] jrxau:
Followed instructions and install was no problems. Thanks Nut! :)

Only question I have is that my phone had already downloaded the OTA upgrade to 10.4.1.B.0.101 and is still prompting me to install. How do i remove this cached update?
[Xperia Z Android Development] wanfauzan:
Try rebooting
[Xperia Z Android Development] BarrySamuels:
I recently installed 10.4.1.B.0.101 [Root & XZDR] and all was working as it should. I could get into either of the two recoveries using up or down volume keys or by selecting in NDR Utils.

To get this far I had to downgrade from .569 to .67, which required a data wipe, then install XZDual Recovery, using the installer, then upgrade to .101 XZDual Recovery and reinstall all my applications and settings.

Since installing all my applications I cannot get into TWRP either by booting and using the volume button or by using the NDR Utils application. If I boot normally then, when I get two vibrations and the green LED, I press the volume button it doesn't matter whether I press up or down it will not go into recovery but does a normal boot.

If I use NDR Utils to reboot it appears to go through the normal shutdown procedure then restarts automatically going through the two vibrations with the green LED. If I don't press the volume button it does not go into recovery but does a normal boot. If I do press either volume up or volume down it goes into PhilZ Touch.

I appear to have lost TWRP. :(

I don't think that I have forgotten anything important but I hope you'll forgive me if I have as my memory at my age (77) is not as good as it once was.

Can anyone suggest what might be wrong and, even better, suggest a cure.
[Xperia Z Android Development] akisg:
Why don't you try installing the XZDualRecovery again? Try a stable version and see if it works :)XZDualRecovery

I lost root too somehow when i rooted my phone after a reboot. Solved by installing another version of XZDualRecovery (a stable one, not beta).
[Xperia Z Android Development] [NUT]:
[MENTION=4788867]BarrySamuels[/MENTION]

Update xzdualrecovery and then pull the updated NDRutils from Google play.

That should sort it :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] BarrySamuels:
Thanks to you both for replying.

I did try re-installing the flashable zip using PhilZ Touch Recovery (it's all I have :o ) and then using FlashTool to flash the stripped FTF but nothing has changed. :( I appear to have the latest version of NDRUtils from Google Play anyway.

Any other suggestions please?
[Xperia Z Android Development] [NUT]:
Can you try to install using the installer please? It might make a difference...

Twrp is called recovery.twrp.cpio.lzma and is located inside /system/bin

Can you grab the logs for me? Look on your sdcard for the xzdualrecovery log folder.
[Xperia Z Android Development] BarrySamuels:
All the recovery files are in /system/bin including recovery.twrp.cpio.lzma however I tried re-installing using the installer as you suggested. The only thing that seems to have changed is that if I use NDR Utils it now reboots into recovery without me having to use the volume rocker but it still only goes into PhilZ Touch whatever I choose in NDR Utils. It still won't go into recovery by booting normally and using the volume rocker.

There is a folder on the external sd card called XZDualRecovery which contains XZDR.prop but nothing else.
[Xperia Z Android Development] [NUT]:
What filesystem is currently in use on your external sd?

Can you check /cache and see if there is a xzdualrecovery folder there?
[Xperia Z Android Development] [NUT]:
[MENTION=4788867]BarrySamuels[/MENTION]

Can you do me 2 favours:

1 try any recovery with a different sdcard. Size doesn't matter.

2 can you attach the preparation.log and just the xzdualrecovery.log from right after attempting to enter twrp by using the volume down key press?

Just to make sure: the keys only get registered when the 2 vibrations are followed by a green led. During the time (3 seconds) it lights up you can make a choice by pressing one of the 2 volume buttons.

From what I have done with my Canadian s3, which is an i747m, I can downgrade from 4.1.2 to 4.1.1 with no problem via Odin. The bootloader is not locked. As far as I know, the only bootloader the could be considered "locked" would be in the stock 4.3 ROM. Once your phone is on 4.3, you cannot downgrade the bootloader.

maybe brick or not?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] shortydoggg:
You won't brick. I've downgraded several times. You're most likely to brick with 4.3, and not 4.1.2, 4.1.1, or 4.0.4.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:

Thanks, I did the downgrade without any problems and now I'll try to flash a custom rom, even though I still see that the bootloader is still enabled using the 4.1.1
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Since you're on 4.1.1, you should unlock your phone using the free method here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2529200

Then use Odin to go back to 4.1.2, install Philz, wipe, and then flash your ROM. You can only use the free method when you are running stock 4.1.1.

It will always say enabled on stock.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] shortydoggg:
You cannot Odin back to 4.1.2, and probably not OTA either. You can only sideload an update.zip through adb or flash a 4.1.2 Rom.

I upgrade to 4.1.2 from adb with update.zip, thanks.
