You created the folder on the internal storage or the external SD?

Just before updating, flash either XZDualRecovery 2.7.94 or 2.7.115 and reboot to recovery. It could be that the one you are using is flawed...

Is it possible just to have a patched/update zip for 757 from 681 instead of reflashing the whole thing?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] shteren:
i dirty flashed over deodexed kitslim V2.1 all is well :)

working good so far, 800mb free ram, hope it stays reasonable after 24hours+ of uptime.

sounds sees to be fine.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] [NUT]:
Maybe, but I CBA to find the differences .... the problem is that ALL files have changed a bit because they are all rebuilt from scratch for every release by Sony. An 'OTA' update probably is possible to create but for now this will have to do :angel:

Yeah, my guide is meant as a dirty flash guide. It should update fine without wiping anything and without the need to restore any backups.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] kryddan:
You are right as usual my friend. I updated to .115 and now it worked like a charm. Thank you very much :)

Cheers then

As soon as I can download any other variant's FTF I will release it as soon as I can.

And you had USB connected during this time? If so, just disconnect USB, change from MTP to MSC mode and back again, reconnect USB. It's because of the FUSE mount of internal storage: it's file cache is not updated automatically... I don't think there is much else to do about that...

[MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION]

I'm on your previous rooted .681 firmware (lb) and it worked fine so I decided to update to .757

However when flashing the flashable zip with TWRP, the phone suddenly reboots about in the middle of the process at the "formatting system"/extracting image" stage and boots to the Sony logo.

I then entered TWRP again and tried a second time with the same result.

Of course I didn't have a backup for this "minor" update and only before I needed to catch the bus...

So I feared thr worst - all apps and data gone, no OS...

Surprisingly, after the reboot the phone booted to Android 4.4.2.. 681 and everything was still working!!

But, something with the flashable zip is wrong and I don't know what.

I just wanted you and others to let know.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] anakdayak:
After flash the Deodex...check on Root Browser the odex files still in.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] [NUT]:
It's not related to the flashable zip, update to the latest xzdualrecovery and reboot to recovery to try again.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] [NUT]:
It probably doesn't remove the odex files but it doesn't mean it's not deodexed.

[MENTION=5169444]RyokoN[/MENTION] can you update the flashable package to remove the odex files?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] kryddan:
I had the same problem as you describe. I did like [MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION] is telling. Upgrade your recovery to .115 and all will work fine. Did so for me :)

My feedback on the update

Ok, after a couple of noob (which I am not) mistakes, the update is finished and the phone is configured.

The only problem I had with the update was the backup/restore of apps+data.

Didn't want to rely on Sony app: it failed on me in the past.

I also know I could not fully rely on google play's automatic restore: it always installs only some of the apps.

So I backedup app apps+data with titanium before upgrading, BUT... after upgrade titanium failed restore of some apps (for example google play).

So at the end, I deleted sony's crap again (that was easy: I filtered all apps with no backup), I let google play install some apps, installed in batch the missing ones (thanks to new feature) and eventually I restored with titanium only the data of some apps (as some others were still failing). Then as usual i started opening one by one my apps to check is setup was ok or configure them correctly.

Gosh, this is the only part I love of my wife's iPhone: sorry but I believe Android must find an official backup/restore solution that is working.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] gregbradley:
....

Just do an advanced restore of your backup and choose data.

100% confirmed perfectly working and has been for years.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] thegios:
advanced restore in titanium? didnt know, where is it?

btw, this restores only data: you still need to install back all apps first?

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] gregbradley:
No, in recovery

But titanium will work as well.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] drsoran2:
Just to make sure: This update from .681 to .757 does not wipe anything?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] [NUT]:
Thanks, I've updated the link in the OP.

Yeah, something fishy is going on with PhilZ since a few updates... on the Z1 Compact (amami) it's acting up as well... I will fix it eventually, but thanks for the notification.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] fer2503:
thanks to you for your work :D
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] kryddan:
It did not erase anything for me when I updated from .681 to .757. You can erase it manually if you like, but not necessary.

Some recommend that you backup first and then erase everything before you upgrade. Just to make sure you get a clean upgrade. That way hopefully avoid any possible issues.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] SleemLDJ:
Yeah. I know. It was on my nexus 5. But it wasn't an option on. 681 for Xperia z1 that's why I said it's new.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Michealtbh:
It is, I'm still on .681 and have that option
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] achimmexico:
I tried dirty flash from 681 Odex to 757 Odex and it works perfectly:

- Updated to XZDualRecovery 2.7.115 BETA

- In TWRP wiped Dalvik and Cache only

- Flashed 757

- Flashed Kernel with stripped ftf in Flashtool

Done. All data still on the phone. No problems until now.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] SleemLDJ:
Does doomkernel work on this?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] drsoran2:
It worked! The older recovery was the culprit. I've updated it and then the flash process went through. All data and apps remained :)

And another excellent flash update package from NUT!
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] mokuni:
I did exactly same here and works perfectly. Shouldn't nut update the first post to upgrade to 115 recovery?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] [NUT]:
Not all xzdualrecovery packages need that to be honest... That's why I chose not to put it up in the OP.

---- UNRELATED ----

To the people who are on other then C6903, please stop spamming requests and hunt down a FTF for me to use or create one yourself and upload it somewhere I can grab it!

Not having these is the ONLY reason for the other models to not (yet) be supported!

I will release for the C6902, C6906 and C6943 as soon as I have the ftf files!

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] shem2409:
Awesome job as usual [MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION]. Thank you :good:

For all of you who don't understand how to get root on .757.

1) You will need to follow this video guide to downgrade to .534

2) In the last few steps use new (.757) flashable zip and stripped FTF (instead of .290)

[YOUTUBE]1aq9YTlfCgc[/YOUTUBE]
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] gregbradley:
There is no need for step (2) and if this video guide is like one I have seen before that advises the use of vroot you should warn them that vroot WILL AND DOES send their IMEI number to an ip address in china for no known reason.

Also, its easier to do this

Downgrade to .534

Install Dual Recovery

Flash SuperSU.zip

Flash this ROM

4 easy steps.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] shem2409:
My video does exactly what you say and it explains how to do it and NO it does not use VROOT. If you look in the OP thread, it says that prerooted .681 is REQUIRED.

I would rather follow the procedure devised by the guy...
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] gregbradley:
OK, but it is not needed, and if you read everything from [MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION] you will know that.

Also, your instructions talk about going to .290, not .534

There is a reason to go to .534 not .290, which is that you can install dual recovery on it with out rooting first. It cuts out a step, especially if people use vroot (Malicious tool)

I think you can just flash a c6902 ftf via flashtool

well... if you want to be minimal flashing superSu.zip isn't needed also...

once you are in .534 you can just get dual recovery and from there flash NUT's FTF which contains supersu anyway... i tried it and it worked.

I installed the XZDualRecovery 2.7.115 BETA but for some reason I can not boot into Philz recovery. However, I can boot into TWRP as well as CWM. When I try ti boot into Philz the phone restarts I see the Pink Lead and the the phone turns off with a blink....I even tried with the NDR utilities
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] [NUT]:
Yes, PhilZ Touch is borked, working on XZDR 2.7.117 as we speak, which fixes it.

[MENTION=4670320]Stealthy Hunter[/MENTION] I've quoted luis4ever for truth, but versions of XZDR past .94 should replace the busybox again as there is a safety copy on /system...

Open android terminal and try to remount /system:

su
mount -o remount,rw /system

What does it say?

If no error then type:

cp /system/.XZDualRecovery/busybox /system/xbin/

It should actually have done this by itself but I think I never considered the fact busybox could be GONE instead of wrong... I'll see if that's the case and fix it for a future version.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] SherlooSkye:
Thanks. Very Nice. Done flashing. From 681 to 757. Just flash zip via TWRP. Then flash via Flashtool. All files and apps are safe. Then re-apply modules if any. :good::good::good:

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] [NUT]:
:eek:

I missed something slightly crucial while building the C6903 ROM package... for anyone who has it installed:

Remove (delete) the /system/.XZDualRecovery folder and reboot. You will notice it reappear after the reboot, but this time INCLUDING a busybox.

Alternatively you can copy /system/xbin/busybox to it to fix my mistake...

I'll make sure the next release (not .117 but one later) of XZDR will correct this by checking if busybox is actually there... So if you have read and respect the busybox warning, you won't have to do anything.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Stealthy Hunter:
