Just want to take a sec. to let everyone know that i have zero of the problems that were present for some users. C6906 LB was on [MENTION=410007]Nut[/MENTION] rooted 4.3. Flashed his 4.4 per instructions and did not wipe. Again, zero notification problems, zero speaker issues and zero wifi issues. Zero camera issues.

Fellow this closely the instructions from op.

1) backup your data including the internal sd card. Flashed 534 by flashtool with fully wipe options.

2) Used the latest flashtool and dualrecovery 2.7.100 with option 3, followed the screen prompts closely while installing dualrecovery, once completed and your phone was rooted.

3) fellow the op instructions to flash the zip and ftf.

4) after successfully installation, installed sdfix to solved the external sd card problems.

5) play a song by google play music. Quit it to solve sound came from top speaker problems. YouTube, mx player all worked for me.

6) Restored "data only" from twrp backup set or from titanium backup.

Hope you success and enjoy.

I had no problems on speaker, camera and blue tooth problems. Worked perfectly for me. twrp backup, titanium backup works. Thank nut for your excellent works.

what should i do? install the superSU via flash or google play?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] gregbradley:
flash it in recovery, download it from chainfires website
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] RHBH:
The deodex packages that you're referring doesn't contain the SuperSU apk.

su binary's stills there, you can reflash the SuperSU package or install it using Google Play any way should work.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] gaboh24:
thanks master! :d
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] RHBH:
I prefer to not include any apk that it's not included in the official ROM, so users can decide what they want install on their devices.

After all, SuperSU isn't the only Super User Management App that exists.

Also you probably lost NDRUtils (what if someone isn't using XZDualRecovery? What about UB users that uses custom kernels w/ recoveries?)

As you have full root, you may move any app to /system/app to make it a system app, don't forget to set the permissions to 0644 (rw-r--r--).
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] gaboh24:
sir im a newbie, slightly i can't understand what ur sayin..what is 0644? i know how to set permission.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] RHBH:
0644 is the alias for rw-r--r-- permissions on Linux.

An easy way to understand this is dividing it in 3 groups of three.

The first group means permissions for the owner of the file or folder.

The second group is "Group", and the third is for "Other".

r = read permission

w = write permission

x = special permission

- = no permission

So, 0644 means that the owner of the files has read and write permissions while any other can only read the file and no one have special permissions.

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] killkyo:
Just thought I share what I encountered. I had the problem of notification sounds coming out from ear piece speaker instead of loud speaker. I only got it after the 2nd reboot, the 1st was fine. I also noticed that the sound when switch to ear piece speaker if I turn my phone landscape then back again, as the screen is turning back to portrait, the sound switches. I solved the sound problem by using a method that was mentioned here, plug in and out earphones while playing music from a player. Maybe someone will be able to find the source and solve it from what I encountered and recreated.

cant flash stripped file even in flashmode

alright guys im stuck. Ive followed the steps so far:

1.) got flashboot 0.9.15

2.) flashed the dual recovery

3.) flashed the zip file

4.) shutdown phone

5.) held Up button before plugging usb

6.) click flash on flashtool

FLash tool is stuck on "Wait for flash mode" where they show that picture of how to get to flashmode? My phone is definately on flash mode (blue light) and the screen in the background, even says its connected in flash mode. I cant get past this!! i have read this whole thread and searched my self and it has come up empty. I have also:

redownloaded the stripped file.

and it still doesnt work. any help. would be greatly appreciated!!

one thing that I notice, i saw some peopel say you can dis able 'data' during the wipe in flashtools. when i slect the stripped file however, in the top right box, there issn't anything to select even. This is just an observation. noting to do with the rom.

THx

don't attach the phone to the computer until flashtool prompts you to do it

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] groperfish:
Hi all,

Upgraded last Sunday to this version of .681.

- C6903 device.

- LOCKED bootloader (has never been unlocked).

Since then, I have run into Camera issues. Firstly, the Camera crashes when I tae a photo. Just freezes with the last images shown. A reset of the Dalvik cache fixed this, for time being.

A few hours ago I received a message stating that 'Camera Not Available' when I open the app.

Has anyone had these issues? I am thinking a downgrade is probably best but would appreciate any help before I resort to this.

Thanks for any help (& NUT, thanks for your firmware).

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] vk2amv:
Hi all,

Just thought I would report that I upgraded my Z1 from 14.2.A.0.290 (Locked bootloader) this evening following the instructions in the OP.

Aside from a problem with Flashtool, which was my own fault and quickly solved by downloading the latest version it went flawlessly.

Was a pleasant surprise to not require a full reset and have everything still on the phone after the upgrade was done so I didn't have to reinstall anything.

So far no issues.

I am exploring the changes from JB to KitKat, and everything I have tried has worked fine.

Many thanks to [NUT] for this release to follow up his previous releases.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] groperfish:
Is there any reason why you think this is a Sony problem, rather than a problem with this rooted firmware? I might try installing an official firmware (ie: no root access) to see if problems persist. Then I wil try Cyanogenmod. The final straw will be a downgrade to a stable (official) release.

But I agree, it is frustrating. Hope your issues sort themselves out. :)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Balaram12:
im on 4.2.2 i downgraded to flash this but why is my recovery saying bad zip for every rom i try to flash?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] SleemLDJ:
I believe it's a Sony problem because I've seen on XDA and on Google plus communities, from those who got OTA having one issue or another when it comes to camera.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] sucker for sony's:
For everyone having problems did you all reset your device before upgrading? I always reset my device before an upgrade and then reinstall everything from fresh. To date I have had no problems with this rom at all not even a single glitch.

Camera

Hi,

I just upgraded to the .681 firmware.

Flashed .534 ftf firmware

Upgraded to .290 via recovery.

And then upgraded to .681 via recovery.

everything is perfect but camera app cant focus.

Tried EVERYTHING but still cant get the camera to focus. Also unable to take a picture. it just freezes.

Anyone have any suggestions?
[MENTION=410007]Nut[/MENTION]
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] RHBH:
Why don't you try upgrading directly from .534 to .681?

Once I'm on TWRP with .534 fw, I would wipe everything, dalvik-cache, cache, data and system. Then flash the flashable.zip, power off the phone and flash the stripped.ftf. I think this way would be the same as doing a clean install... (I'm not sure, never tried).
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] HotKillerZzz:
K i shall try now.

Hope everything works well.

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] slayer2333:
I Did the same, downgraded right from an unrooted .681 to 4.2.2 with flashtool (exluded baseband to keep IMEI). Rooted, installed latest dual recovery then went on recovery (TWRP). Factory reset then installed NUT's .681. Power Off and flashed Stripped FTF through flashtool.

BTW i have a locked Bootloader (6906).

Not a single problem so far (camera working fine as well).
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] mrled:

Thanks!
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] dagrim1:
But I guess you then lost root again? Or not when just flashing the necessary files...
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] blud7:
So I'm guessing that the problem is with the unlocked bootloader. Am I correct in assuming that the original ftf file would overwrite the trim area? Which would be the same as restoring the TA? Which means that the stripped ftf is stripped to prevent re locking the bootloader?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] gregbradley:
Not for me, I have unlocked bootloader and my camera is fine

I am on the commercial and journalistic FTF from Bin4ry
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] [NUT]:
You mean the base ftf or my stripped one?

When using the full, did you wipe data?
