Just for you to remember. Flashtool is only for flashing FTF, not zip files.

[MENTION=410007]Nut[/MENTION]

Did you ever think about making a debloated ROM?, I think that you're are a good candidate to the best Z1 ROM.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] thegios:
This os rooted and u can debloat ;) with titanium

There is also a thread here
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] caqo71:
I know that mate... but out of the box is better. And I was thinking that NUT helps another rom devs, so its knowledge may lead to a personal rom.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] [NUT]:
Best is to download the patch file, if you are already running this ROM, which is in the OP just above the installation guide, it will update XZDualRecovery to 2.7.99 and with that fix the mount issue. If you have trouble running the patch installer, grab de zip from the files directory and flash it in TWRP.

To be honest, I pride myself for not tampering with a ROM other then to keep it wide open for the users to mold it to their needs and wishes. This will never change, nor do I have time for that much intricate work.

I lay out the base for the other devs, show them that it can be used rooted and all, they can run with that.

Call me lazy, but it's simply what I chose to do :cowboy:
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] adamo86:
It's been sometime before I did flashing with flashtool can someone tell me when flashing the stripped ftf do i connect phone in flash mode or fastboot?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] caqo71:
Very clear side mate. You're the prime matter. So, how do you manage about porting apps to this rom?.

PS: I just want to invite you a cold beer. :highfive:
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] reignzy:
You're doing great work mate.

Please keep up the great work.

Instructions are always easy to follow and I usually have no issues upgrading using your root methods.

Great work!
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] QualQuek:
God bless you thegios your patience is becoming legendary ;)

anyway i've tried the fix for SDCARD but with the bat file that never detected my phone so i've directly flashed the recovery zip file in TWRP now it works like a charm!

Thank you so much NUT :good:
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] [NUT]:
porting what apps? :eek:

:cowboy: :cool:
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] thegios:
hahaha thanks, just tought I could thank [MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION] by helping others ;)

I have been there before, ages ago, so I know what it means being lost: instructions are very clear, but someone still needs additional help when in trouble

for the sd card issue, there is an app in the store
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] fer2503:
Did you have any idea about notification sound problem?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] [NUT]:
Didn't have much time to investigate that yet, but it seems to be an update issue, people who do a full FTF flash report the issue not being present.

What did you try to fix it up to now?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] QualQuek:
What app :confused:

I'm not sure what we're alking about, in fact the sdcard works perfectly and u can browse it with a file manager, it's just that for exemple u can't read songs with walkman if they're on the sdcard because the app didn't read it, but the NUT fix works perfectly for that :good:
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] noobz1:
i guess Camera apps :P (eagerly waiting for them :P )
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] thegios:
Not true: before installing ur rom, I did a full FTF upgrade with flashtool and I had the sound problem (sound from earpiece).

I solved it by playing a song in play music and plugging in/out the eraphone, since then no problem.

Then I installed ur rom and never had the problem

I do a full wipe when i flash your flashable 681.zip. I try to clear Smart connect data and cache, i try to disabile chrome, But the problem is still here :/
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] thegios:
play a song with play music or a video with youtube, the sound should come out of earpiece, plug and unplug earphones, the sound should now come out of loudspeaker, reboot
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] QualQuek:
Oh i didn't know that, thanks
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] thegios:
I do not hace an ext sd card, so if u do, try it and let me know ;)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] QualQuek:
I don't know if i'll see a difference, i've already flashed my phone with NUT's fix
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] thegios:
wait a sec, maybe I am confused now... the app fixes ext sd card access for 3rd party apps, while I understood NUT's fix is for dual recovery mount problem
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] QualQuek:
That fixed as well the fact i couldn't access to my songs in my sdcard with the Walkman app, i was certain that was intended,wasn't it?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] thegios:
Not sure any more :-/

Fact is that I was following also the dual recovery thread, and as soon as I installed NUT's rom with .94 version of dual recovery (.96 was not working, only working version for me was .94) in less than 2 hours .99 version was delivered to fix the mount problem, so I installed it manually on top of what I did, only later came NUT's fix, but as I said, I understood this is fixing only twrp mount problem: [MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION] can you confirm?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] QualQuek:
Yeah but that totally fixed the 3rd app sdcard access for me so i was thinking that was intended :eek:
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] thegios:
honestly... dunno o.O
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] fer2503:
it fix the problem forever or the problem return?

fixed it forever for me, but hey, maybe a coincidence, dunno: try...
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] dixxa:
Please, oh please update your thread.

The very first requirement is flashtool 0.9.13 WRONG !!!

You must have

flashtool 0.9.15

or else it will fail flashing "Cannot open bundle. Flash operation canceled"

you can get flashtool from https://doc-14-7s-docs.googleusercontent.com/docs/securesc/ha0ro937gcuc7l7deffksulhg5h7mbp1/nrjn8tt8csdtt6ov5l2cflhhagnrg6ia/1395914400000/00485781214644366067/*/0B1Pa6BgRBUZ9c1dHbjRLNkpEMGM?h=16653014193614665626&e=download

i have one more doubt, "3.Download the C6903_14.1.G.1.534_[NUT].ftf (link in post 2), flash only kernel and system;" I am using C6902, is it fine to flash C6903 FTF on C6902? :o
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] gregbradley:
No, you must use a C6902 version
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] hush66:
No, you shouldn't be flashing the C6903 FTF on a C6902. Just find a C6902 14.1.G.1.534 firmware, and flash kernel and system only.

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] mynameisjon:
Thanks, but I'm not interested in Doom's kernel since he uses CWM. The rom manager fix for the insanely slow nandroid backups does not work for me. Don't fancy having to wait 5hours to backup when twrp does it in 5 minutes.

Tried using it previously when I flashed a generic 681 and then the dual recovery on top of that. Could not boot into twrp since the kernel intercepts the volume down press to boot into cwm.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] hush66:
Did you flash XZDualRecovery 2.7.99 before you flash the zip and stripped FTF? If so, you shouldn't need the patch.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] vINyL3:
i even try to make a factor wipe and flash 681 backup, still not working
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] gregbradley:
There is no twrp in doomkernel.

However, the rom manager fix probably wont work as I am unsure rom manager has every effectively worked on xperia devices.

You can however manually put the fix into the Clockworkmod folder on your sdcard that fixes it.

Also, I have never had a cmw backup take longer than 5-10 minutes anyway....
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] maz.b:
First I created a backup "Camera still didn't work", Backup of my apps & the data of the apps.

Then I moved the backup to my desktop & wiped everything.

Still "Camera didn't work"

So I flashed "C6903_14.3.A.0.681_Central Europe 1 (1276-4318).ftf" & wiped everything again.

http://sabb.blassie.eu <- C6903_14.3.A.0.681_Central Europe 1 (1276-4318).ftf

THE CAMERA WORKED!

But didn't had root or recovery.

So If I would flash any recovery I will be enable to flash this rom with root and etc.

So I did that and flashed "C6903_14.3.A.0.681_Stripped.ftf"

The sad part is that the "Camera still worked" -,-

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] [NUT]:
Thanks to a user on romaur I discovered another bug on xzdualrecovery.

If anyone has issues getting in to recovery, install XZDualRecovery 2.7.100 to fix it.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] mynameisjon:
What's this manual fix you speak of? :confused:
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] gregbradley:
Make a file in your clockworkmod folder on your sdcard called

.hidenandroidprogress

That will help as it hides the animation of the droid. This should work on dualrecovery, but you should have this file anyway

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] RHBH:
Do you think it will be possible to root (at least partial root) to be able to backup the TA partition of Z2?

After seeing that Z1s is not rootable, I'm starting to think that Z2 that have "Bootload Unlock Allowed: No" will not be able to get root.

At least on "Bootload Unlock Allowed: Yes" devices a partial root would be enough to backup the TA partion, unlock the bootloader, get full root and then restore the TA.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] gantscha:
Auto focus Not working for me!?!
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] RHBH:
We're in the same boat.

I'm asking about Z2.

Think with me:

You bought a new device, you won't unlock it without a TA backup right? Unless you don't care with warranty and DRM keys.

But to backup your TA root is necessary (at least partial root, which is enough to read the TA partition).

But how to root a Sony native Android 4.3+ device without unlocking the bootloader? With Android 4.3 Sony implemented RIC, a protection to prevent the file system to be mounted as RW.

With Z2 there will be no possibility to downgrade to a directly rootable ROM because such a thing doesn't exist!

I read the Z1s root bounty topic and I was kinda scary with what I saw. No one was able to root that device.

<MODERATOR EDIT - LINK REMOVED>

Titanium Backup Pro

Only create a backup of ur apps, so apps like facebook, whatsapp or whatever + the data.

Then On Sdcard there will be a folder like; TitaniumBackup and inside that is ur backup so copy that one to ur desktop or whatever.

If u want to restore ur backup Install Titanium Backup, Reboot ur phone there will be a folder called TitaniumBackup in ur Sdcard and then move ur backup to it.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] fabsta69:
okay then you will flash your backup with flashloader?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] QualQuek:
Then many posibilities, you haven't enough network to send your MMS (you can have mobile network but no data), the person who u sent it can't received it (no netwotk etc..) or your subscription do not include MMS and u need to contact your provider.

Most of time it's related to network.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] anakdayak:
I'm on a unlimited data plan trying to sent to myself and wife but still "mms could not sent".Btw I'm on NUT 681 full root with recovery on deodex clean install.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] maz.b:
No, that program you have to install it on ur phone.

Its a .apk file, so it is an Installation file.

Phone Settings -> Security -> Unknown sources. You have to select that for installing programs that isn't from Google Play.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dm3jiT5JnXw - How To Use Titanium Backup
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] QualQuek:
Yep that happen to me as well sometimes, a small trick that works sometimes, disable the data et re enable it wait for the network and try to re sent a new MMS.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] fabsta69:
sorry but after that how did you flash root back?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] maz.b:
The root is already in this rom.

The only thing what u need is.

Unlocked bootloader for Recovery.

When that is done Flash [STOCK][C69XX][4.4] Update to 14.3.A.0.681 [Root & XZDR][UPDATED]

That one is with SuperSu and the latest Recovery.

So you don't have to flash the root, you have it automatically with this rom.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] QualQuek:
No, u don't need at all to unlock your bootloader to have a recovery.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] noobz1:
you meant to ask "sony PCC" instead of "samsung program"???

you can take back up in either SONY PCC or recovery.

But taking backup in TWRP( as you said, in recovery vpl+UP button ) is easier i guess, you can backup whole system.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] maz.b:
If he creates a backup of it then flash this rom & then restore the backup he will still have the same problem.

No camera.

Create a backup of ur apps only flash the normal C6903 14.3.A.0.681 then wipe everything.

Flash recovery he is done, his camera will work with this version + he will have all his apps and etc + root ofc! :D
