Hi, I'm experiencing the same problem as you Muetze1007. I followed the guide from cyanogenmod wiki and tried to install a nightly version of official Amami but I get stuck at the Cyanongenmod logo...

I had a look at the topic you linked Xperienced but then I got stuck at the page (I can't post the link, the page with "unrestrict" in its URL)... What am I supposed to download ?

[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leaxius:
Thanks XperienceD, I already went there and read everything carefully, went to the unrestrict.li website and then couldn't find an Amami rom...

However when going on the FXPblog I managed to find one (FXP316-cm-11-20140421-UNOFFICIAL-amami.zip) and tried to install it following instructions (fastboot flash boot boot.img, then recovery mode, install from sdcard...).

I am still blocked at the Cyanogenmod loading screen on the boot sequence...

Xperienced I noticed you were talking about a specific kernel, noob question but is it something different from the rom ? (ie the zip file)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
Extract the boot.img file to where your fastboot.exe is, run the command you have which will install the kernel then reboot, enter CWM then flash the zip after wiping data and caches and that should be it. Yes, the kernel and ROM are two separate things.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leaxius:
Thanks for your help !

I wasn't sure what and where the kernel was (ie, the boot.img file). I've already done that before, it seems I had permission problem to wipe data, which I managed to solve by formatting some folders. It's working now :cowboy:

[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zersiax:
Same problem, exact solution please?

Hi,

Sorry for revisiting this thread but it appears I have the same exact problem as the OP. I followed the instructions on the CM wiki (got the prepackaged rom from FXP, extracted boot.img, unlocked bootloader, flashed boot.img, booted into recovery and selected the zip file to flash to the device. An odd phenomenon occurred when I tried mounting data, this gave me an error. Also, I couldn't seem to choose the zip from SD card but from storage/SD or so...can't remember the exact wording. But after all that I rebooted and it just slowed the alien with the spinning arrow and got stuck there. So for the ones who solved this particular problem, what did you have to do to make it behave? Some ADB commands perhaps? I'd really like this to work because the CM11 ROM is heaps more accessible (meaning blind-friendly) than the stuff Sony ships with the phone by default, something which is useful for me, being fully blind and all.

Thanks in advance for any help you guys can provide,

Zersiax
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paulle:
I flashed CWM today, got the Rom from here: http://fxpblog.co/cyanogenmod/cyanogenmod-11/

I used fxp323

I had CWM and TWRP installed, but I only used CWM. I like TWRP more but it seems CM is more CWM fixated.

Used linux. Its easy, only installed android-tools (I'm using ubuntu-gnome but with fedora, opensuse or manjaro or debian it should be the same).

Download fxp 323.

Copy the zip to the sdcard of your phone.

Unzip the fxp323 on yor pc. Copy boot.img to inside downloads.

Open the terminal on pc.

code: cd Downloads

adb kill-server

sudo adb start-server

put your phone in fastboot (blue LED) there is nice tool from doomlord for this : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.doomlord.xperiareboot&hl=de

connect with usb-cable to pc when the led is blue

fastboot -i 0x0fce getvar version (for verifying your fastboot connection)

sudo fastboot devices (for verifying your fastboot connection)

sudo fastboot -i 0x0fce flash boot boot.img

sudo fastboot -i 0x0fce reboot

now go CWM and flash the fxp323.zip

reboot

CM11 is fine, The only bad thing is That you loose the fm-radio which comes with the sony software. If anybody has an idea how to get it back please tell.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rekoil:
I think what a lot of people are missing is that after unlocking the bootloader, the device deletes the /data/media (internal storage) partition but doesn't format it. CM11 doesn't format this partition as part of its installation or boot, Sony's ROM does, if this partition is unformatted when the Sony ROM boots it'll format it. So there are two solutions.

1. After unlocking bootloader, boot Sony ROM once, then proceed with the CM11 instructions.

2. After unlocking bootloader and flashing CM11 kernel (boot.img), do a /data and /data/media format, then proceed with the CM11 instructions.

Hey guys!

I have a empire electronics M805 , and i want to root it, but their aren't any tutorials / files, so i can root it.

It runs at android 4.1.1 (i think not the stock version, light edited, other kernel?) It is a tablet!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pocthird:
hi

if it is not on stock rom chances are your tablet is already rooted as most of custom roms come rooted but some of them dont come with a superuser app even though they are rooted in this case just donwload superuser app from play store and update the biaries (also check usb debuging to make root work ) , stock rom means the rom your tablet came with when you first bought it , if your tab is on stock rom chances are it is not rooted in deed even though some manufacturers sell their devices rooted , to root your tab i only see one last solution if there is no dedicated procedure for it , you will have to try general rooting sollutions like unlock root (it is normally safe but do at your own risk) : http://www.android.gs/root-any-android-based-device/

there is also kingo : http://www.kingoapp.com/

and one click root (works only for popular devices though) : http://www.oneclickroot.com/

there are others just google , if your device is a new comer to the market maybe a dedicated root method will come when it will gain more popularity , i hope i helped you .

Then again this process continues. it is not going into recovery mode, flash mode , fastboot mode.

so if you can help me in this situation. pleeassssse:)
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Captain Sweatpants:
Sounds like a pretty bad bootloop does your PC recognise anything when you connect it? You need to go back to stock or at least to a working ROM. The long and short of it is to fix it you are going to need adb, recovery (if you have a nandroid backup) or flash mode. If you can't get any of them I think its bricked

for connecting to fastboot mode my phone should be charged about 20% but the problem is its not charging.:(
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Captain Sweatpants:
Any idea how much charge is in the phone? I think you will have to keep trying to get into fastboot or recovery try power and then vol up/down or camera depending on what your recovery is I can send you a full nandroid backup of stock if you need one. You need to break into the boot cycle get into recovery (i am assuming you have installed a recovery on this device) timing will probably have a lot to do with it.

I hard reset my phone quite regularly (dont ask why) and unless i do a full backup the WiFi profiles (ie the remembered networks i have connected tooand their WEP keys).

What i want to know is-is there a file that contains this information that i can just copy off the phone? coz my mates network has like a 52 charicter(not that many) key to access, Very annoying when i have to type it in TWICE everytime.

I hope someone can help

Don't need a genius for that. Just save the appropriate registry branch and then re-import into the registry after the hard reset. You will need a registry editor that supports export/import.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craigap:
Hi,

I am looking at installing a home automation system in a clients house using a Bitwise controller. I was thinking about installing android tablets as an in-wall solution via WiFi rather than expensive light switches (Rako, Lutron, etc.) and multi-room controllers, as you seem to be able to pick up 7" tablets quite cheap. Stairs will still have standard switches.

I am aware of systems such as Crestron and AMX (we already install AMX) but I think there is a cheaper way to achieve this.

I understand they aren't going to be the best, but all they will be doing is running a Bitwise GUI designed for android tablets, so very little load.

I will have to make various changes to settings such as auto sleep times, wake up screens, etc. which I will address in a separate post. What I was looking for from the thread was to see how I can harness the voice control, which brings two questions.

The first is what is the typical range of the mic built in to the tablets and is there any way to enhance this?

The second is whether there is an app that provides voice control to something like the Bitwise BC1 controller, or am I trying to achieve something that isn't particularly easy?

I would be grateful for any guidance.

Craig

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omar300:
Its all Rookie mistakes.

as long as you know what your are doing and not rushing, your phone should never brick.

Plus most of the bricks you hear about happened because people were installing Stock rom. if you are interested in AOSP roms then you dont have to worry.

is only happened when people used the flashtool to reinstall the kernel and baseband.

Back up the TA and Use flashtool carefully. thats all.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gnubaver:
I'm not sure i follow you, installing stock rom? Why would that brick?

And i'm mostly interested in kernels :)
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omar300:
btw stock i mean rom based on sony roms. many poeple are interested in those. including myself

the sony roms are built around different versions of phone means different baseband and if your are using lte and install european phone version rom your lte can stop working thus u install baseband for your phone from flashtool.

if you interested in kernel you should be good. install any kernel for z1. they all are same.

but confirm that though. it never cause issue for me
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gnubaver:
So what you are saying is, people tend to brick the phone by flashing a stock rom not meant for the specific model?

And by doing this and the lte stops working, this is only a semi brick right? Redoing the right FW restores the phone and LTE support in this case without any real harm done?

I think i have a 6903 model.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lord Takyon:

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omar300:
thats not bricking. thats just losing lte or 4g feature. easily can be fixed by installing right baseband from ftf file.

read the developers note in first post. most roms come with 6903/6902 baseband version. in middle of installation you can pick your phone.

so you wont run into that trouble anyways.

Always read the instructions in first post by developer of rom.

same goes for any device even if its a nexus and unbrickable.

what you read about is when sony made some deep changes and people didnt know about it.

now its clearly mentioned in instructions.

i was one of those who bricked the phone. sony replaced the motherboard for my phone no charges.
