so flash 4.2.2 again and install dual recovery without rooting first?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] timberwolf60:
Yes, once you selected option 3, fellow the screen prompt and it will ask you to install Supersu. Once completed Reboot and done. Before I used to use kingo root to root my Z1. Now I only using options 3 for 4.2.2 firmware and successfully rooted the Z1. Thank nut.

Hi,

Not sure if it is happening to me only, but has anyone noticed their GPS fix seems to take much longer? I am comparing against my stock unrooted phone prior to this upgrade. It used to take me 5-10 second to get a lock but it is now 2 to 3 times longer.

I come from a fresh install via downgrade to NUTS 534 FTF.

Also wondering if there could be a tutorial to teach how could one repackage their own FTF of choice? Hope it is not too complicated.

Hi,

I had already searched that and understood what to do. Apologies I wasn't detailed enough in my question but what I wanted to know was more on how to package in SU and XZDR such that it will work when flashed.

I also didn't know if a similar stripped FTF was required with such a case. I don't want to come across as a noob that didn't search but I couldn't find the details I was looking for. The vague question earlier was because I was on the move but I agree that should be an excuse.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] gregbradley:
Fair enough, the post above yours has a link to [NUT]s guide. But it cannot be done in a FTF, only a flashable zip

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] vk2amv:
Ok dunno if anyone else has had this problem and I hope someone can help me.

Upgraded from 14.2.A.0.290 last night.

Noticed a big problem today.

After completing a phone call the sounds for text message, and other alerts only come from the ear speaker instead of the normal speaker at the bottom of the phone.

I reboot the phone and then sounds come from the main speaker as normal again.

But as soon as after I have made or received a phone call the message and alert sounds only come from the ear speaker again.

However the key press sounds/ticks, unlock sound, etc DO come through the main speaker correctly so it is only the alerts going to the wrong speaker.

It is very annoying as it is so quiet I cant hear any messages come in.

Has anyone had this issue, and any suggestions for a solution?

Many thanks
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] hush66:
Read the whole thread here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2692357. I don't think there's a solution and Sony has to fix it in the next update.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] vk2amv:
Hmm.

Maybe I will go back to 14.2.A.0.290 then.

Lucky I did a backup in TWRP before flashing the update.

Thanks anyway for your reply.

Sadly the problem is still here, battery drains extremely fast, take just some hours to discharge it, even after many days of using, same with the official stock ROM, if i reflash it with the 4.3 i don't have it, there is something wrong with the 4.4.2 ROM:eek:
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] sg1969:
Battery life is perfectly fine here. 10% drained in about 5 hours, listening to music, playing games like ingress and candy crush, etc. That would give me 500 hours on a full charge, I'd say that's pretty damn good.

Mine is an unlocked bootloader. does unlocked bootloader cause this? I tried again, but still failed. Camera still does not work.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] [NUT]:
If you have an unlocked bootloader, then try the following:

Create a good backup of everything including the contents of your internal storage;

Flash the FULL 681 FTF wiping everything;

Boot it until you can try the camera;

Flash the XZDR kernel package (2.7.101);

Flash the latest SuperSU in recovery.

Done! :)

If you wish you can restore userdata afterwards, it should not break the camera when you do.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] HotKillerZzz:
ok. i went in to the nut xperial files site. there is one thats says xzdr and another locked dual recovery.

I used twrp to flash z1-dualrecovery-2.7.101.Zip on 681 rom with dualrecovery-2.7.100 which cause phone can't power up. Why?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] mokuni:
Wife and I, both with z1, have the sound issue i.e when I get a call sometime the sound comes out the bottom speaker, even tho not on speaker phone. Also music once plugged into headset, unplug it will always come out bottom speaker. Games that usually have sound from bottom comes out the ear piece. This is bad from Sony.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] [NUT]:
You need to fastboot flash the boot.img inside the zip (open with winzip, look inside tmp/, flash in flashtool), then flash the zip from any built in recovery to finalize the installation.

Can't power-up is too vague timberwolf... please be more specific, what does it do, when does it do what ever it does and what, if anything, does still work?

One solution I've see pass by is to disable/remove the the Sony Smart Connect software, it seems to need an update for KK.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] mokuni:
Thx nut, will try disable. Btw What is KK?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] [NUT]:
Hah :cyclops: KitKat :p
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] SleemLDJ:

SDFix: KitKat Writable MicroSD : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.sdfix

You may have apps (usually media apps like music or video players) that are trying to write to the SD Card, operation that is very restrained on 4.4 Kit Kat.

PS : the locked bootloader has nothing to do with this, you would have the same problem with UL
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] [NUT]:
Remove all installed apps which you got from play, 2 or 3 at a time and use the device a few days in between. Once you notice the drain has gone away, reinstall the apps one at a time until the drain returns.

It's laborious, but it's the only way...

keeping root after sony bridge restore

Hi guys, do I get to keep root on my xperia Z1 running 681 after I perform a restore via sony bridge for mac?

If not is there any way to restore my files and keep root? thank you
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] [NUT]:
On the first question: no, if you use any pc/mac sony tool to restore your phone, you will lose root.

What do you want to do exactly?

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] DefunctiO:
Interesting thing has occurred. I have used sony mac bridge for mac to restore my phone and all my app files were restored plus I got to keep the root.

NUT, after flashing 101 from 100 by twrp, phone can't power up, only I had repeat vibrate/second. Screen black. This happened before when I flashed 2.7.99. I reflashed from 534 and rooted by 101_dualrecovery option 3, then 681 with 101_dualrecovery. But I still need to flash the 681 patched else twrp backup failed. I had never facing camera problems and before I had sound came from top speaker but solved by playing a song with play music.

I came here justo say some words to a noobs ones, and the "hard to wipe" others.

If you want to experiment with new modified roms (any rom), you should know that you HAVE to WIPE your phone, but the wipe is not to flash the downgraded rootable one.... the wipe thing is just before flashing the last rom version. IE: if you are on 136 unrooted, and want the last .681 KK one, then you should flash the .534, root it, and then before flasing the new ron, you should WIPE your phone. Not WIPE, and then flash the 534, and then flash the last one without wipping.

We all have the same phone, so if the LB group flash the phone as it must to be, then there is no reason to have someones with cammera, and others without....

people with Unlocked bootloader, and people with locked bootloader, will get a different result flashing this, so, please search (within this thread), to have solutions.

Just my cent. :rolleyes:
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] QualQuek:
I removed all apps, i just have all included with the ROM nothing more nothing less we'll see, then i'll reinstall them one by one and see what ****ing app causing that, i'm trying to find a solution to that since a week! The problem occurs as well with the Official stock ROM.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] kryddan:
I might have been a bit over the top here, but this is how I did it. And it works for me. I have had (so far) no issues with camera and sound from ear-speaker. Ok, it jas only gone 22hours since I rooted my phone.

1. factory reset inside .681

2. downgrade to .534 with flashtool 0.9.15

3. installed z1dualrecovery 2.7.99, then used option 3

4. do wipe in recovery

5. flash .681 with recovery

6. flash stripped .681 with flashtool

[MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION] Is it needed to use the C6903_14.3.A.0.681.flashable file that is provided in OP or is it possible to use any other .681 flashable and then flash the stripped ontop ? Why I ask is because the .681 provided is a frensh version :) I was thinking about maybe use the NCB (Nordic).

(I'm on Locked Bootloader with no chance of unlocking).
