No, But if you have the 757 XZDR kernel then you will still have recovery

If not, flash a 534 FTF and start again
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] mnsk:
Thanks!, already done. Started again.

I had the 757 kernel but I was on kitslim rom.

But after wiping system partition and rebooting I lost the recovery also (no green light or anything just sony logo).

How so if recovery was in kernel??

Oh! Sorry I was on 757 stock kernel not 757 xzdr kernel for unlocked bootloader if that you are talking about.

I have problem with ANT+ on this firmware. Does anyone tried conncect ANT+ device? ADB logcat shows: "ANT Adapter responded with failure code: 21".
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Snaqejack:
Unlocked bootloader, everything except camera works.

It opens just fine, but when i try to take a picture nothing happens.

What should i do?

Strange thing is that the front camera works, but not the rear camera.

Is it possible to root my Xperia Z ultra 14.3.A.0.757 C6806 using this method? Please reply I spent an hour searching through threads

---------- Post added at 02:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:33 AM ----------

Also I am not interested in custom roms or that sort, I just need root access for my Xperia Z ultra 14.3.A.0.757 C6806 lte. Is it possible to root with your version? I'm kinda regretting leaving Samsung over Sony, I just want root access and nothing more please :)

Quite sure you cant.

Btw, Samsung is a piece of plastic.

Hello guys,

Am i the only to have encountered this problem?

Adding picture to contact is impossible, the image is rotated by 90°.

Is there a fix or mod with xposed to avoid this issue?

Thank you, especially to [MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION] for his great work!!
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] comnic5:
Open the gallery then open the picture. Then use the option USE AS and set it as contact picture. It wont be rotated.

By the way, I dont have the call button in the Phone apk. I cant call at any number if I dont save it. Any idea.

I have a question,, will sd card be affected I mean will it be wiped when I revert back to jb root and install this rom? , and also can I flash jb without wiping data? And install this rom without wiping data again? Or is it necessary? I don't want to lose all my data, only reason I want to root is I want to make my z1 louder through the sound mod

Soo install jb

Root

Flash Cwm dual recovery kernel

Then flash this 757 firmware

And all WITHOUT wiping data cache and sd card

I can do?

Me currently running 757 firmware unrooted and locked bootloader :)

Thanks in advance
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] blikie:
U have to go back to 4.2 fw 534 not just any jb rom in order to root install recovery and that always means wiping. If u dont wipe u will get problems. U can use titanium backup or sony backup restore app(not sure how well this works bjt can work) to backup everything u have right now then restore them back when u have the rooted 4.4. If u mean external sdcard it should not be wiped when using flashtool. but sony pc companion can mess it up.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] dontbelive:
Okay then I can live when data get wiped, but for me is most important internal sd card, does internal get wiped? Or have to backup aswell,?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] blikie:
Internal sd card is where ur rom goes so yes u have to wipe it for a clean rom flashing.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] gregbradley:
No it doesn't, and no you don't

---------- Post added at 09:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:22 PM ----------

You can just back it up and take afterwards if your room install does wipe internal sdcard, but there is no need for this to happen unless you flash a ftf or unlock ? the bootloader
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] blikie:
unfortunately mine did. so u tell me?

somewhere i read that twrp factory reset would not wipe internal sd

it wiped everything and i had no backup made :(

so i am not taking anymore risk and play safe backing up no matter what procedure..
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] gregbradley:
A factory reset will of course wipe it.

Also roms are not installed to internal sd card, they are installed to other partitions. If you do a factory reset, then backup any and all data you want to keep
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] blikie:
Why are u calling them rooms lol

Isnt "internal sd = /data" ?

Where does /system belong to?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] gregbradley:
Thanks for picking up on my predictive text making that mistake

No /data is not the internal sd card

Use any root explorer app to have a look at your file system

You will see the system and data partition in the root of your file system

Also, you will see sdcard1 (External SDCard) and sdcard (Internal SDCard) They are different

However, if you look in data/media/0 you find the internal sdcard contents, so if you factory reset you will lose the contents of the internal sdcard (As you said you did) but roms should not format the data partition, only system

If in the install instructions it says "Perform a factory a reset" then guess what, you lose internal sdcard contents, so just back them up first.... Its rule number one on xda

Always backup, just in case you ****up....

Do I need to downgrade, root, install dualRecovery, in which order, which versions?

Thanks to anyone who can help me!
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] l92:
Just install zip via recovery and flash stripped ftf..

You have unlocked and rootet already?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] gregbradley:
There is no need to unlock, only root is required

---------- Post added at 05:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:57 AM ----------

No need to apply a root process, it's implemented in the dual recovery
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] t1mman:
Ok, I don't need to root, but what do I need to do?

I'm stock, what are the steps required to install this rom?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] emccccc:
follow this video by SHEM.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1aq9YTlfCgc it is the safe way i guess, it doesnt unlock your bootloaderm just root. but instead of flashing the .290, you flash this. its noted in the video description.

Edit: You NEED root to install this rom.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] t1mman:
My question still remain:

From stock, what are the steps to do to install this rom

No one can provide a clear answer?

Like:

-Downgrade to XXX with flash tool

-Root with blahblah

-Install dual recovery with blabla

-then you can install this like on the video

I'm going in circle here...
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] joecool666:
From stock, what are the steps to do to install this rom

you are making yourself go around and round ,you have had many of your issues answerd, also got a youtube tut ,and you have being here for a while now and you dont know how to read other post to solve your issue, come on do you realy need the help or are you lazy to serch for your answer,sorry for been so harsh but this hole thread is full of answers you need good luck, regards joe
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] t1mman:
I haven't read all 51 pages of this thread, but bear with me for this:

I am easely folowing instructions WHEN PROVIDED, I look at the first post and I follow what is writen. Only problem, on this it states theses requirements:

Flashtool 0.9.15 by [MENTION=2807379]Androxyde[/MENTION]

XZDualRecovery 2.7.90 BETA or newer.

Current rooted FW version: 14.3.A.0.681.

When you click on the 681, you get these requirements:

[same as before]

Current rooted FW version: 14.1.G.1.534 and 14.1.G.2.257

Ok, so I need to downgrade to 534 to root, from what I can understand...

If I follow instructions, I need to:

Downgrade to 534, then root, then install XZDualRecovery, then flash 681, then flash 757... If I go hopping for links and instructions around...

BUT, from reading around, I can beleive I could just do this:

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

2) Install the latest dual recovery (Find files and instructions in the XZDR dual recovery in the cross device development section)

3) Install a pre rooted 4.4 ROM of your choice (Find files and instructions in the development section)

I've been around here a long time, it's not my first device, nor my first flash, I DO follow instructions when they are provided and clear, but please understand that, from someone with already enough knowledge in the ilks, it's pretty complicated to get a simple answer and a simple procedure.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] joecool666:
From stock, what are the steps to do to install this rom

yes but you have just giving me the answer buddy, i know the whole z1 forum need a summer cleanup and i understand there are so many of the same answer ,but for the best result you need you will have to start again, like form the top, but you have the answer in front of you,sorry again for not being much help but you will get the hang of it here in this forum i did lol, good luck anyway regards joe
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] [NUT]:
[MENTION=1265362]t1mman[/MENTION] follow that guide you wrote and you will be done and that will work just fine.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] t1mman:
Wich one?

Downgrade to 534, then root, then install XZDualRecovery, then flash 681, then flash 757...

OR

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

2) Install the latest dual recovery (Find files and instructions in the XZDR dual recovery in the cross device development section)

3) Install a pre rooted 4.4 ROM of your choice (Find files and instructions in the development section)

Hi all,

I've been running PACRom for a while and have decided to go back to stock kernel/Rom due to all of the bugs/crashes/lost features.

I am running the latest PAC nightly & I have 2 questions :

- Can I just flash this ROM, as per instructions on page 1?;

- Is it possible for me to flash ROM/stripped ftf without using flashtool (ie: directly from Recovery)? I'd prefer this as I have a Mac and will need to go to a great amount of effort to install Parallels/Windows/ADB drivers, etc. It was a bit difficult last time, particularly given complete lack of HD space!

Thanks for any help.

Hello, I'm trying to flash using this guide, and I'm stucked in the following step:

After downgrading to 534, I enable usb debbuging and install from unknown sources, I execute the bat command, option 3, wait, and then connect the device, but the terminal window stays in "Waiting for device connect USB cable now" and doesn't move from there, I installed the fastboot and flash drivers.

Any ideas?

That is what I did. Download the deodex zip file for your version of your phone. Then after flashing it do wipe on DALVIK-CACHE.

Linux4ever I always wonder what is the purpose of deodex. Read an article about preloading parts of an app for faster startup which I my opinion isn't a big problem anymore with these faster phones. But what is the biggest advantage to deodex the rom?

You can make modifications so much easier....
