Touch screen/digitzer I believe are one in the same.

Sure Asus will fix it. In/out of warranty. But as mentioned, they'll charge you big bucks. My guess to replace the digitizer would be about 300USD. MIGHT be a little less.

If you open it somewhere inside, can't recall position, there is a service switch you should turn off 1st, before you do anything else. That might keep you from frying some component should a short develop somehow. Just remember to turn it back on last before you finish inside.

I recall reading that the ribbon cable is held in place by either glue or double sided tape and the heat aids in its becoming loose and can be part of the problem with the digitizer getting all crazy.

BTW Anyone can feel free to correct or add to this....
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Truthiswithin:
This is a really strange problem. Over the past few days, my device keeps resetting its maximum CPU speed to 1190Mhz, no matter what app I use to set the max speed; I've tried no-frills, trickstermod, and the built in cm performance settings.

I assumed it was the kernel, but then i switched kernels; i assumed it was the ROM, but then I switched ROMs; I assumed it was an app, but I factory reset and still the same. What else could it be?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chimmychenga:
i think its normal. you don't have any problems with it right? you can change profiles like 'performance' or 'interactive' if your rom allows you to do this.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beaver2233:
think it's probably thermal throttling - use cpy spy, or something that monitors CPU speeds and check
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brooksyx:
Are checking set on reboot in the overclock menu? You lose your overclock on most roms if this is not checked.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Truthiswithin:
Yeah, I think that's it; I finally got no-frills to force it to stay at 2.4ghz and thermal throttle in logcat was whining about not being able to set the CPU speed.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Yokav:
Hey,

I'm planing to upgrade my Xperia T from 4.1 to 4.3.

Filesystem will be updated through CWM, as well as the kernel. But what about the baseband ?

I only see some comments about using Flashtool to update the kernel (if it's not available in the zip file that will be use to upgrade filesystem with CWM). But when I see some screenshots from people using JB 4.3, in the "About the phone" section, the baseband ends with *-60 when on my JB 4.1, I'm still with a bseband ending with *-56...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Yokav:
Bump :p

No one tried to update the baseband?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] silasje1:
Why don't try? Get an FTF file from .199 4.3 rom from sony and flash only the baseband ;)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] bsined:
I've discovered that every ROM has its own baseband number in About phone and flashing just the baseband from another ROM has no effect on that but does affect your phone's ability to connect to the data network.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Yokav:
[MENTION=4409574]silasje1[/MENTION]

I'm not ready for the upgrade but fore sure, when I will be, I will update the baseband. I just would like to know if there is a particular reason why nobody speak about that...

---

And from what I know, yes the baseband is related to the ability to connect to a network. But maybe not only, I read that the baseband of a Samsung has something to do with the GPS.

Anyway, as upgrade from 4.1 is a major upgrade, I think that it's better to upgrade this baseband. :p

Can I root z1 on kitkat??anyone can help me?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Yes,

First, ask QUESTIONS in the Question and answer section.

Now, read the several guides in the general and/or development section on how to root.

In brief

Either, unlock your bootloader and flash an insecure kernel

or

flash stock 4.2, root, install recovery and flash a prerooted 4.4 rom.

Alll instructions are in their relevant threads so I will not reproduce them here.

Eigth time and counting I have written this today
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SrMoure:
Anyone can explain why there is not an straight forward method to root Z1 directly on kitKat and we need to downgrade to do it ?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thalada:
Because sony has patched the known exploits and made it hard for the devs to find any expoit.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlads:
Best way to do is it to downgrade to 534 using flashtool, grab the FTF file needed from the mega collection thread.

Use vroot to root the device, install a custom recovery, flash the rom that you want to install (Monx, ihacker, romaur) then don't reboot, but re-enter flashmode and flash everything (without wipe) from an FTF of the same base, do not flash TA and System.

Reboot and youre done.

I wrote a more in depth tutorial which can be found in this thread, second post.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2709585
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
No that's not the best way

1) Vroot sends your IMEI number to china for no known reason. They have been asked to change this but gave no response to XDA about it.

2) The point of downgrading to a .534 FTF is that you can install recovery without rooting first. So install dualrecovery, then flash SuperSU.zip from chainfire, then flash a 4.4 rom of your choice.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KarimSalloum:
It's real easy to relock the bootloader using Flashtool, so don't sweat unlocking it to root.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
But how do you backup your TA that way.

You need to root first then backup TA. Relocking with flashtool does not restore your TA.

Once you have your backup then that is always possible, but not for a first time root.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlads:
I didn't know you could do it that way, the way that i've mentioned is what was written on all the tutorials that i've seen so i'm literally going from what other people have said, including monx.

The IMEI thing is a bit creepy but I wasn't aware of that either.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antiskeptic:
another one bricked...sigh how to fix?

Hey all,

Successfully unlocked my c9603 with latest kitkat and installed cwm 6 with these instructions

How to Install CWM 6 Recovery on Xperia Z1:

Download Doomlord’s Advanced Stock Kernel with CWM Recovery

Copy the downloaded.zip file to your phone’s sd card.

Extract the downloaded .zip folder on your PC, you will get a Boot.img file.

Place the extracted Boot.img file in the Minimal ADB & Fastboot folder that you created using our ADB & Fastboot Quick Setup Guide.

If you are using Android ADB & Fastboot full package, you can place the downloaded Recovery.img file in the Fastboot folder or in the Platform-tools folder.

Open the folder where you placed the Boot.img file. E.g Minimal ADB & Fastbootor Fastboot or Platform Tools.

Press and hold the shift key and right click on an empty area within the folder, and click on “Open Command Window Here”.

Turn off your Xperia Z1 completely.

Now press the Volume Up Key and while keeping it pressed plug in the USB cable.

You should see a blue light in the notification light of your phone, that means your device is now connected in Fastboot mode.

Now type the following command: Fastboot Flash boot Boot.img

Hit Enter and it will quickly flash CWM 6.0.4.6 recovery in your Xperia Z1

Once recovery is flashed, now issue this command “Fastboot Reboot”

Your device will reboot now, as soon as you see the Sony logo, and the pink LED, press Volume Up key to enter recovery.

Congrats! You should now see the custom recovery.

Once in CWM recovery, flash the zip file you copied to your phone in step 2. To do so, select “install zip > choose zip from sd card > doomlord advanced stock kernel.zip > yes” and flash it.

Once flashed the zip file, reboot your device.

That’s all.

ok so I did all of the with success now when I turn my phone on I get what I think is a bootloop mode...it gives me the sony logo and the pink led to boot in cwm then re loops over and over.

I can get into cwm but thats it.

So how do I go about fixing my bricked phone now? Kinda need it lol

appreciated guys
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:

No, I didnt back up the ta as I didnt have root in the first place.

I have doom kernal installed and can access cwm.

It is stuck in bootloop mode...how do I just get my phone to boot normally for now instead of bootlooping?

---------- Post added at 06:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:39 PM ----------

i just tried all of this from xda university, still no luck at all, still boot looping

If you flash a new (base)rom on your device it may not automatically wipe your dalvik-cache, This means your old dalvik-cache will be used for the new system files which would result in a bootloop, to fix this problem:

1. Start your phone in CWM Recovery

2. Go to Advanced

3. Choose “Wipe dalvik-cache”

4. Now go to “Mounts & Storage”

5. Choose “Wipe /cache”

6. Reboot your phone

Note: by wiping “/cache” and “dalvik-cache” you make sure it’s completely deleted, some roms use /data and some use /cache for the dalvik-cache

If the problems still exists after doing that, you could try to wipe your /data partition. before you do that first make a backup of your phone (in it’s current bootlooping state)

1. Start your phone in CWM Recovery

2. Now go to “Backup & Restore”

3. Choose “backup” (it may also be called “backup to internal/external sdcard)

When that’s done you are free to wipe /data, you can achieve this by doing:

1. Now go to “Mounts & Storage”

2. Choose “Wipe /data”

3. Choose “Wipe /cache”

4. Reboot your phone

If the rom still doesn’t boot correctly it’s probably the rom which isn’t working, contact the rom creator then and try an other rom for the meanwhile.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
But why are you insistent on backing up a system that is in bootloop? Why would you ever want to restore a bootlooping system?

I would just do a fresh system install and forget about backing up a non working system

Just flash the FTF of your choice, then the appropriate DooMKerneL version.

Then you are rooted and have CMW installed. 2 easy steps, I really don't understand your need to backup first, especially when your phone is bootlooping.

---------- Post added at 11:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:07 AM ----------

No, once you flash a FTF you lose root. You will need to reflash the appropriate DooMKerneL again

Because once you flash a FTF you lose root

You flashed a C6902 file to a C6903 phone (Or vice versa) and you are surprised it is not stable.

Try flashing a 534 FTF for your device model.

Also, there is no need to root using bin4rys method that SHEM suggests (His advice is general overkill IMO) the point of flashing a 534 FTF is that you can root it AT THE SAME time as flashing dual recovery, the dual recovery installation script can gain a temporary root shell to instal dual recovery, then by flashing a pre rooted rom (Or flashing SuperSU.zip from chainfire) you gain full root,.

Thanks greg. I'll post in a few hours when I have the right file flashed.

Another question, your next part of the post means that rooting is lost everytime I flash a new ftf?

I was planing on using the bin4rys method that SHEM suggests, getting root on 534 ftf, taking a TA backup and then flashing back to 757.

That way I would have my TA backup and the root access... while being on 757 and getting OTA ftf updates.

Its on the first page

3 easy steps

Just follow them

1) Flash a 534 FTF

2) Instal dual recovery

3) Flash a pre rooted 757 rom

to answer your last question, you can take a TA backup at any time after gaining root and before unlocking your bootloader. You only need a TA backup if you unlock your bootloader, advice to the contrary is simply advice from people who don't understand. (It wont damage your phone of course, there is just no need for it)

Why you have to flash a 757 ROM, the answer is simple, otherwise you stay on 4.2 instead of 4.4

However, if at this point you can flash any stock based rom of your choice.

If you want CM or other custom kernel based rom then you should have said, because the process is different and simpler.
