I flashed NUT's 534, flashed superSU, then flashed nut either 136, 681 or 751 without camera, wifi hotspot problems and enjoy. I normally fully wiped before updated/downgraged to 751 or 136 all went well.

When nut 681 just released, I tried many time on 534, 681 due to semiroot problem and backed to 136 and luckily me never had camera problem.

Maybe not all device had that problem. For some that is still having problem with the camera may try the method.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] SpEnTBoY:
Ok this is going to sound seriously new but I think I'm missing something. I have a locked BL and a stock .290 C6906. I'd like to go to NUTs 757 ... can I go direct? and if so how :o I have Flashtool installed on my MAC but I'm assuming the only thing possible to flash form there is the ftf file (not the flashable zip).

Is there a way I have to stage this properly? I see a youtube video that says go right to 757 form .290, another posting that says not possible you have to DG then go to rooted .290 then 757. Just dont want to end up with a brick if possible :D Thanks guys!
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] gregbradley:
If you do not have recovery, (Which it sounds like) do this

1) Flash a FTF ending in 534 for your phone (Find files and instructions in the mega collection thread in general section)

2) Install the latest dual recovery (Find files and instructions in the dual recovery thread in the cross evice development thread)

3) Install this rom.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] ERK808:
AH! Doomlord's kernel is what I must have missed! I used it originally to gain root, went back to stock on .136.

I will definitely try this method later tonight. Thanks for the post!

No worries! I found this post helpful. ;)

Cheers!
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] gregbradley:
Please do not carry on with OT replies. Your issue or the one this person said has nothing to do with the development of this ROM

If you unlocked your bootloader to gain root, I suggest reading all the tutorials and how to guides again....

then sort your issues out in the Q&A section instead of spamming dev threads.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] SpEnTBoY:
Thanks gregbradley! the only 534 I can find is the Rogers generic. I don't know the structure of the images but I'm assuming this will still work for me (I'm on Sasktel in Canada)? from what I remember all of the LTE AWS Band4 freq are 1700/2100. Just making sure before I flash and there's a different radio version or something in the file.

That being said, is there any real "brick" anymore? what I mean is am I being too cautious? :p

Thanks again!!
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] ERK808:
Right.. RIGHT!

Carry on then!
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] leungalv:
Stupid question I guess ... will I be able to get future OTA updates after installing this? Or will I have to always update using the methods as outlined here?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] timberwolf60:
I tried few time, I received the ota update, it downloaded to 100% and prompted me download failed.

SOB .... ok when upgrading the ftf I "thought" I was holding the damn volume down button but I was holding the power button so it tried to boot before I got into recovery to use flashtool to flash the ftf. Now when I hold volume down and plug in to USB is sees the device NOT in usb debugging so I can't flash. I also can't power on to get into recovery (unless there's a different key sequence). Am I looking at a brick or can I recover? :confused: :silly:

EDIT: got back to a recovery ... going to try again. Hopefully I can get it in to USB debug somehow. Currently flashing the 757.flashable.zip, then will try a shutdown and startup for flashtool properly.

EDIT2: all good. FYI to get back to a reset situation I did the 3 finger salute (hold both vol up and down while pressing power). The phone vibrates 3 times, let go, the proceed to boot into TWRP and run it again :)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] leungalv:
Bootloader locked or unlocked? I read in the other NUT threads that phones with locked bootloaders were ok?

Mine is with locked bootloader. Thanks.

First up thanks heaps to NUT (on making it possible) and shem2409 (on the easy to follow youtube video)

Thought I might put it up here to note what I have gone thru yesterday in getting up to kitkat from telstra factory (.290?)

Downgraded to .534 using NUT's C6903_14.1.G.1.534_NUT.ftf

Rooted using binary method via PC

Installed XZDualRecovery 2.7.115 BETA via PC

Wiped Dalvik cache, System, Cache, Data, Internal Storage

Factory reset

Flashed the De-ODEX ROM from RyokoN

Shutdown the phone

Flashed NUT's C6903_14.3.A.0.757_Stripped.ftf

Upon power up the phone vibrated once then just sits on the Sony Logo screen. I waited for around 10 minutes with no response I hard reset the phone.

Tried to get into recovery, but no joy still stuck on the Sony Logo screen.

Since I cant get into recovery mode, I redid the whole upgrade process again from the start but with NUT's flashable zip instead of RyokoN's De-ODEX flashable zip. Below is what I did:

Downgraded to .534 using NUT's C6903_14.1.G.1.534_NUT.ftf

Rooted using binary method via PC

Installed XZDualRecovery 2.7.115 BETA via PC

Wiped Dalvik cache, System, Cache, Data, Internal Storage

Factory reset

Flashed NUT's C6903_14.3.A.0.757.flashable.zip

Shutdown the phone

Flashed NUT's C6903_14.3.A.0.757_Stripped.ftf

Restart successfully.

This worked a treat and am now running kitkat (albeit a power drain issue which I think has to do with my difference in phone reception, going to see if the problem still persists tonight)

Anyone encountered the same issue I had flashing with RyokoN's ROM or possible know what I did or didnt do wrong? Am learning hence the question.... If this has been covered, can someone kindly point me to the post reference please?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] jfxperias:
Flashed the De-ODEX ROM from RyokoN... Is not a rom is just a patch for deodexed the nut rom (contain only apps/framework/apps private)... It's normal your issue... The deodexed patch is at flashed after flashed rom Nut;)...
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] yotis118:
Ah!

So I should have flashed it like below:

Downgraded to .534 using NUT's C6903_14.1.G.1.534_NUT.ftf

Rooted using binary method via PC

Installed XZDualRecovery 2.7.115 BETA via PC

Wiped Dalvik cache, System, Cache, Data, Internal Storage

Factory reset

Flashed NUT's C6903_14.3.A.0.757.flashable.zip

Flashed the De-ODEX ROM from RyokoN

Shutdown the phone

Flashed NUT's C6903_14.3.A.0.757_Stripped.ftf

Is this right?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] jfxperias:
Yes but now you are on 757??? If yes, you reboot in recovery TWRP volum down when the led is green with the vibrations... In advanced Wipe you select just

-Wipe dalvik Cache

-Wipe cache

-Wipe data

And flash the deodexer patch

Reboot and enjoy...
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] yotis118:
Awesome thanks again! Yes I am on 757 now, just incase I might have to redo this again in the future so I know which order to do :D
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] funky0308:
Exactly the same as you could read in OP.

You have all links and instructions there.

Can't be "clearer"
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] omar300:
thanks man, this is perfect. no modifications or extra things.

i can modify with xposed as i like.

kernel of my choice

and using ART instead.

i would say this is perfect setup for me.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] livelyyoungman:
My Z1 is partially rooted - meaning got full root access during the .534 days and then OTA upgraded to 4.3 (14.2.A.1.136). Is this sufficient for me to upgrade to the fully rooted firmware of .757 (NUTS edition)? Or do I need to gain full root access and only then do the upgrade?

Thanks for helping a noob.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] [NUT]:
Unless you have recovery installed, you need to go down the long way.... Sorry man.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Svid:
How can i use art instead of dalvik?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] RHBH:
You can't, Sony didn't implement ART on it's stock KitKat.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] livelyyoungman:
:crying::crying::crying:

Its a long way for me.

:crying::crying::crying:
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] gregbradley:
Its only 3 steps and once you have everything downloaded about a 10 minute job

1) Flash a FTF ending in 534 (Find files and instructions in the mega collection thread in the general section)

2) Install Dual recovery (Find files and instructions in the dual recovery thread in the cross device development section, or follow links [NUT]s signature)

3) Install this ROM. (Files and instructions in the OP of this thread)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] [NUT]:
Isn't art present but hidden in the development menu? I doubt sony would have spent so much time to remove something so intertwined with the os... It's a huge risk if they do... Who knows what they might break when they do...
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Svid:
Can't find that option in the dev menu. Probably hidden.

please help fast i m going to downgrade now many thanks in advance
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] RHBH:
Some guys edited their systems to force show runtime selection on development options, after selecting ART a reboot was requested, their phones were stuck on bootloop/freezed.

I don't know for sure what happened, but I think that Sony removed ART.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] [NUT]:
Or they broke it and decided to hide it because of that :D
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] RHBH:
Maybe Sony framework isn't compatible with ART, only Dalvik... In this case I'm seeing major changes coming to Sony's Android 4.5 or 5.0 (or whatever is the Android version that Google decides to implement ART as the default runtime)...
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] jfxperias:

No luck with .757

Having no luck since last night...

I was happily ever after on .681, rooted. Tried flashing the .757 on that .. wouldn't work ...

The best I can get ATM is C6903_14.2.A.1.136. That's the only things that will install on top of the 14.1.G.1.534.

If I'll try to upgrade from .136 to .757 same results as the following:

I keep trying:

* Downgraded to .534 using NUT's C6903_14.1.G.1.534_NUT.ftf ------------- ( works )

* Rooted using binary method via PC --------------------------------------------------- ( works )

* Installed XZDualRecovery 2.7.115 BETA via PC ---------------------------------- ( works ) (actually: this one: Z1-lockeddualrecovery2.7.121-BETA.installer ...cant find the XZDualRecovery 2.7.115 BETA)

* Wiped Dalvik cache, System, Cache, Data, Internal Storage --------------- ( works )

* Factory reset ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ( works )

* Flashed NUT's C6903_14.3.A.0.757.flashable.zip ------------------------------- ( works ) Turn off device here

* Shutdown the phone ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ( works )

* Flashed NUT's C6903_14.3.A.0.757_Stripped.ftf --------------------------------- ( works )

unplug device, SONY comes up .... nothing happens ... hard shut down (power+up), reboot ...nothing ...

Ideas ? suggestions?

Edit: It also seems like the flashing of the .757 is much shorter than other versions (in the recovery).

Mabye need to format everything on .534, then flash .681 then immediately .757 then turn off and flash .757 stripped tft?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Svid:
Intresting. I wonder why Sony removed it.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] [NUT]:
That could also be the reason, it actually sounds reasonable. Let's hope they don't have to overhaul everything, otherwise the current update scheme will go to bits...

Use the latest xzdualrecovery release and try again, 115 has some issues... Flashing 757 is probably silently failing without warning...

:o

Hmm... Before turning your phone off to flash the 757 ftf, can you mount system and check the contents? Adb pull the build.prop and check the fw version...

Because of the bootloops I guess. I can only imagine them testing these things themselves too... ;)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] _Noctis_:
The man and the legend ...

Well ... after countless times, and rubbing different chickens on the phone, while praying/cursing in arcane languages, I ended up moving the files from the internal SD to a USB stick, and then going to .534, rooting, installing recovery, went in, formatted everything, flashed the file from the USB OnTheGo (little dongle cable), turned off, flashed stripped ftf , and ... it finally worked ...

Good news: rooted .757.

Bad news: took me about a day of fiddling with the phone, and I got your message 2 hours after it was over :( . so won't be able to do that ...

But, now that I know what you need, If the next upgrade fails, I'll pull files first, and post question later.

:)

(what's the stripped.ftf for to begin with, if I might ask? )
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] [NUT]:
Good, I'm glad you got it sorted :good:

The stripped FTF holds kernel and baseband (+modem firmware), boot bundle and (if applicable) a bootloader update. In any case it's required to flash it, to keep FW and kernel+baseband matching.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] _Noctis_:
So any idea why flashing it from SDCARD might have failed? In all of the above cases, after flashing the .757, powering down, flashing the stripped one, and rebooting, I've ended up with the "SONY" screen, and it just stayed there. No matter if it was an upgrade from .681, straight from root, from .139, etc ...

I know this is not much to work with, and I can understand if you just ignore the question (sometimes as a dev, I feel the same when someone *****es about "something not working") :)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] [NUT]:
Well, yes...

As SDCards are never checked for wear on Android... it might be wise to either replace it or move all data to PC and reformat it...
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] CM17X:
There is something wrong with your sdcard, you shall replace it in order to proceed.

I got similar problems trying to flash using an old 2gb sdcard. The package was not even extracted for start flashing. I changed it to an class 10, 32 gb sdcard and problem solved.

Unlocked bootloader and camera - again?

I was on .136, unlocked bootloader; everything was fine. Flashed this .757, and then my back camera wouldn't focus anymore. The Sony camera app won't take any pictures; other camera apps do work, but without focus. Looks like it's a known issue for this ROM, so I flashed the full 757 FTF, did a factory reset. Camera still won't work.

Is it possible that there is an issue again with the camera on unlocked bootloaders, or is it a KK random glitch? Is anyone having this issue on a locked bootloader?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Crean:
If I am already on Nut's 14.3.A.0.757 Version... and if I want to reinstall this version... Do I have to flash the FTF File again... or is it enough to install the 14.3.A.0.757.flashable.zip?

Crean
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] CM17X:
You should execute a dalvick cache/cache wipe and flash again.

Enviado desde mi C1904 mediante Tapatalk
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Steve_max:
As I said, I did a factory reset. A factory reset includes formatting the /cache partition, and the Dalvik cache is a part of the /data partition that is also wiped, so wiping cache/Dalvik cache after a factory reset is meaningless... Again, the problem is still here after all that.

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] ploopower79:
I had this problem also when I made the jump to 757 and I did a full internal wipe flashing the 681 firmware using flashtool and booted it from there and I didn't have problems after updating to 757 again maybe that would solve your situation? I'm also on UB
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] _Noctis_:
Hmmm ... weird ... maybe you should add to your installation guide a "common pitfalls" section.

1. Dodgy cables

2. Dodgy SD cards.

3. If computer won't recognize phone in flashboot, and you have some other usb's plugged in, remove them (from personal experience I'm afraid :( )

:)

As I said, it was solved by using an OnTheGo usb ... but yep ...maybe it's time to upgrade my sdcard :)

I belive [MENTION=2123609]Krabappel 2548[/MENTION] will deodex it, he deodexed last few firmwares very fast after NUT related his ROM so I guess, if he has some time - he could do that.

I am currently on NUTs 681. Can I flash 757 over 681 just by wiping Dalvik and Cache without wiping the complete phone?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] funky0308:
It'll probably work but I wouldn't do that.

When you are trying to fix bugs on device it is always better to wipe and format all.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] achimmexico:
Thanks for your quick reply. I was thinking of wiping only Dalvik and cache before flashing 757 and then flashing the new Kernel with the stripped ftf. This way I save some time and avoid restoring the data with Titanium.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] funky0308:
It'll probably work...

Try, there's nothing to lose.

If you experience bugs or problems just wipe all and flash again...

Problems could occur because thus version isn't deodexed and you are probably using deodexed ROM right now...

But all that aren't something that should worry you - as I said it'll probably work, it's hard to guess.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] juanpirulo:
Thats why Nut recomend to do a Backup prior to install the rom (5 minuts). Just wipe system data dalvik and cache before intall the rom and restore only data (another 5 m) from your backup after flashing ftf. Cheers

It´s not for asking. Its because the way he is asking. cheers
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] sg1969:
I went from NUTs 4.3 to 4.4 without wiping (not on purpose, I just forgot), and have had 0 problems on my phone. So I think going from 681 to 757 should be OK.

Of course, I could have been lucky. Just take a backup, try not wiping, and if you run into any problems wipe and reflash.

AFAIK only UB users can root any fw unlike LB that need pre rooted fw. ub users can flash custom kernel and job done.
