dunno what to say, i'm on LB. flashed XZDR 2.97 when i was on .136 and then flashed KK rom.

i think my TWRP mounts system since i've flashed smart call handling that copies files to system/app and it didn't report any errors...

EDIT: nvm scrap that, i just tried to flash deodex patch and it was nogo... system is failing to mount
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] funky0308:
It's not working once, it's working while you are on old firmware and until you restart.

You can flash 681 from recovery and as long as you don't power off your device to flash kernel (stripped ftf) you can flash whatever you want or make system and data recovery...

As soon as you flashed ftf and restart to recovery you can't mount system.

If you still think you have fully working recovery, please do one thing.

Go to TWRP / backup and restore and tell me system size...

It's 0MB, right?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] albertobom:
Yes. I was mistaken. :(
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Kelvin0007:
I just lost Recovery after full wipe, i entered Phil CMW recovery tried to change TWRP, i was in 4.2 (290) Full Root. How i can step back and try again? do i need to flash a FTF?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] funky0308:
If you can boot into OS just install recovery through windows.

You have flashable recovery or windows installer to choose from.

But if you wiped system as well, yes, you have to flash ftf via flashtool.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Kelvin0007:
cant boot to OS, stuck on SONY logo, which FTF is safe to FLASH-ROOT-INSTALL RECOVERY then update? because i dont want to lose IMEI :(
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] funky0308:
Well...then you know what's next ;)

Power off, flashmode and flash ftf via flashtool.

If you are UB you can fastboot kernel and get recovery faster...
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Kelvin0007:
Im LB 6902 but not sure which FTF would be safe to flash, i was in rooted .290 (4.3), i need to flash 4.2 root then install recovery? then install 4.3 then 4.4??? OMG :(
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] funky0308:
Just flash 534 and you could flash 681 straight from there.

No need for 4.3.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Kelvin0007:
I see thanks a lot i will try that. So i dont lose IMEI that way?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] funky0308:
You'll lose it on 534 but you'll get it back as soon as you flash KK ;)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] [NUT]:
Oh yes, I owe the C6943 and C6906 users an explanation on why I didn't release a package for you yet:

Because of the issues with the camera (which I believe to have found a solution for) and the recoveries not being able to mount the system partition writable, there is no easy way to fix the camera issue.

I've been trying to find a solution for the recovery issue, I've narrowed it down a lot but a real solution eludes me still :(

Usually I start development on the main device (the one with the biggest userbase, preferably able to speak a decent word of English) to debug issues. I was able to acquire the C6902 version and after some initial testing I deemed it safe to release. Well... I was wrong: I never tested the camera, which was a bug (note the was) my phone also experienced. I did try to enter recovery, but it never dawned on me to try mounting stuff: there was nothing to test flash on KK yet...

Lessons learned for the next update I'd say.

As soon as I manage to fix the recovery issues I will release the C6906 and C6943 version. I did not forget you. I already downloaded the FTF files but decided to wait with the release to make sure your recoveries would work from the get-go.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] funky0308:
[MENTION=410007]Nut[/MENTION]

Maybe you are unsatisfied with KK root/recovery but I'm very grateful for that.

If you flash everything before kernel you could still have great KK, rooted and deodexed and that's not small thing.

If you found that bug you would probably postponed release so I'm happy you didn't ;)

You are doing great job and TNX for that...

I mean, we had root/recovery 12-24 hours after official KK release!

ART Runtime

How do I get ART / Dalvik switch in this ROM? ART is way more faster and battery friendly.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] albertobom:
It's not available on this update at the moment.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] taranfx:
Its not part of the ROM for sure but can we place the library libart.so somewhere and havea switch with libdvm.so
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] albertobom:
I'm not a dev so I'm not sure.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] noobz1:
by "Flash the 4.4 rom by using the flashtools" you mean official stock firmware???

also can you provide the link for "rooted kernel with recovery"
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Wolfbreak:
ART is included but Sony removed the Option to choose it in Developer Options i think becouse the libs for ART are present.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] taranfx:
Yeah I just saw libart compiler.so available. So how do I get that option? Perhaps use Nexus 5 settings app?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] funky0308:
Maybe...

Try to find that xml code and adapt it to settings for Z1.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Wolfbreak:
Dont try it :D But as funky said comparing both to find the missing Dalvik/ART option is the best you can do.

[MENTION=410007]Nut[/MENTION]

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] paullu:
I already ask in here before

My phone can't power off completely

Every time when try to turn off phone it reboot and reboot when sony logo come out.

I just saw one person have same issue like me a page back now can't find it strange!?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Wolfbreak:
Sorry didnt saw that. So you are stuck in a Bootloop? Do you have Unlocked Bootloader or Locked?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] KWOKSFUNG:
May I ask a stupid qustion after reading posts regarding art and dalvik?

Is is possible that Sony has already picked ART for us by default, and they actually removed the dalvik option??

anyway to check it??
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Wolfbreak:
I really doubt it becouse ART is a experimental Feature from Google. Google plans to drop Dalvik in favor of ART in future but ART is not stable enough/officiall yet and not all Apps work with it its just a experimental Feature for Developers at the moment. You dont need to check i can guarentee you 100% that you are running Dalvik :)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] lbaquerizo:
So in order to get back to 4.3 is to flash back FTF 4.2, root, flash 4.3 all over again right?

Can i flash it on ub without striffed ftf??
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] maz.b:
I am kinda a noob and etc but got my recovery working "Het werkt :>".

But I have my recovery working, i have now 2 recovery's 1 of it doesn't work "TWRP" and also the CWM and that one works.

How I did it, I downloaded http://sabb.blassie.eu/MijnStuff/Z1_DooMLoRD_AdvStkKernel_FW-681_v02.img and flashed it via fastboot.

fastboot flash boot Z1_DooMLoRD_AdvStkKernel_FW-681_v02.img

I flashed another bootanimation and it worked :D

The only problem what I have now is my camera, I thought it worked but when I was trying to create a #selfie it didn't took one :( Or my phone doesn't like selfies :<
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] funky0308:
Once again - you have UB.

System mounting doesn't work on LB.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] maz.b:
Let me take a picture of my bootanimation then :>

It kinda works for me & I am using the rom of nuts.

The system mounting doesn't works in TWRP that doesn't mean it won't work in with another Recovery.

Test it out and see for your self, if it works! Then u have to buy me jellybeans :>

What's wrong with you man?

YOU ARE USING CUSTOM KERNEL! AND YOU HAVE UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER

We all know that if you are using doom kernel you can use CWM, that's not new information.

BTW, you don't have to have recovery to change bootanimation.

You can change it even on stock room, without recovery, what you need is root and root browser/explorer.

Can we now move on?

well the best and easiest way is to go back to 534 using flashtool and then try to install recovery using the 3rd option on BETA 94 here => http://nut.xperia-files.com/?dlid=WjEtbG9ja2VkZHVhbHJlY292ZXJ5Mi43Ljk0LUJFVEEuaW5zdGFsbGVyLnppcA==

once you're done and you're on the recovery, flash prerooted KK by NUT http://nut.xperia-files.com/?dlid=QzY5MDNfMTQuMy5BLjAuNjgxLmZsYXNoYWJsZS56aXAudG9ycmVudA==

and then power off your device and flash stripped ftf for your C6903 => http://nut.xperia-files.com/?dlid=QzY5MDNfMTQuMy5BLjAuNjgxX1N0cmlwcGVkLmZ0Zg==

and that's it

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] [NUT]:
You can actually make backups but just the system partition can not be restored.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] blakwhite:
FYI, I had the non-working camera before, at the first time I flashed the firmware. Then I waited for the weekend, and firstly flashed older full global firmware with data. Later, I flashed the 4.4 global with data, fastbooted doomlord rooted kernel, flashed deodex, restored data with titanium. Voila, no camera problem.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] adam20115:
I haven't got any camera issues on my phone, what are the issues I should be looking for?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] shteren:
guys the best way to get over the no system mounting with LB is to use your previously backed up unlocked bootloader TA partition from TWRP, like NUT mentions in the second post.

i have my unlocked bootloader TA partition backup and TWRP restore it perfectly so i can switch between locked and unlocked bootloader at will while keeping all data intact.

so i can flash a different kernel with a properly working recovery so when NUT finds the solution for fully working recovery for LB i can flash it, flash back a stock kernel and relock.

better save a TA backup for UL BL for the future.

No kernel flashing. Just flashed xzdulalrecovery 2.9.6. in the op. Backup your rom by twrp also backup the contents in the internal sd card. Then do a full wipe on your phone in twrp and flashed the C6903_14.3.A.0.681.flashable.zip. Put phone off then flashed C6903_14.3.A.0.681_Stripped.ftf by flashover in flashover. Once booted up you should enjoying.

Also read up the instructions carefully and you will be success.

Can we still use "Flashify" app even if recovery not mounting system?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] funky0308:
That's right just one thing...

You actually can restore backup...it's longer then usually but you can...

Make backup and copy it to sdcard - if you need to restore you backup you have to downgrade and get working recovery.

Boot system and move your recovery to TWRP/BACKUP folder, restart to recovery, restore backup and flash stripped ftf (kernel).

Yes...it's longer than on working recovery but some of you just can't install everything again and recovery is necessary...

Thing that worries me more than recovery ia that speaker bug.

Realy but sometimes sound from walkman or album (slide show) plays on ear speaker.

Even only restarting fix that, that's not good and it's bug in KK firmware.

Many users confirmed that.

I know there's partial fix for that but it's not working like it should.

If I am already on 14.1.G.1.534, since I can install dual recovery in this version without being rooted, why do I have to go thru all this procedure? Can't I just follow the procedure below?

1. In14.1.G.1.534 with no root and locked bootloadet, install dual recovery

2. With flashtool upgrade to kit kat

3. With twrp flash superSU.zip

---------- Post added at 11:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:50 PM ----------

what do u mean?

can u p, s explain?

after flashing the flashable.zip with twrp u flashed the original ftf sony file with flashtool instead of stropped.ftf?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] thegios:
backup what?

well actually I am now on KK not-rooted and unlocked

what I wanna do is

1.downgrade to .534

2. install dual recovery

3. flash official sony KK ftf with flashtool (instead of flashing zip rom with recovery)

4. boot into tecovery and flash superSU (i stead of flashing stripped ftf with flashtool)

as this sounds safer to me, dunno why, maybe because I now have the official sony KK ftf and all is working fine, no bug so far, so I want to avoid installing anothet rom: after I have dual recovery I reflash the ftf I have now with flashtool and then root by flashing superSU.zip with recovery

womder if point 3 above will wipe the dual recovery though
