Extract it from an FTF

1. Use 7-zip (or similar) to unpack the FTF file

2. Follow this guide

3. Grab the settings.apk from the unpacked system.sin
[Sony Xperia L] Pr3no:
Thanks, but unfortunatelly I ran into some problems.

I'm following the guide that you linked, I've already extracted the system.sin, but there's no "dump data" in flashtool, only dump header, dump raw and extract data, I tried all of them and they don't work with Yaffey.
[Sony Xperia L] GuestK0058:
Use this after you 'extract data' in Flashtool under 'sin editor'

Since I flashed my Galaxy S4 with this Custom Kitkat 4.4.2 Rom with the additional tethering add on I've noticed that any calls I make are long delayed.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
You do NOT need to unlock the bootloader to gain root.

You do not void your warranty as rooting is a two way process

Also, as for guides...please search there are literally hundreds, if not thousands, of posts explaining how to do it. (I myself write it about 4 times a day, so one more wont hurt)

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

2) Instal Dual Recovery (Find files and instructions in the dual recovery thread in the cross device development section)

3) Flash a 757 pre-rooted ROM of your choice (Find them in the development section)

Done

PS: Just to point out that the Z1 isn't a bad phone, it's got it's trade off's and i've had my issues but overall it's been reliable, stable, fast and durable, not to mention it came swimming with my a while ago where i made a few underwater video's and such which was great, the water pressed the play button on poweramp and the music was playing in the background which i didn't know at the time so all my videos have got Fleetwood Mac - Gypsy and The Doors - light my fire in the background but it worked is the point :)

---------- Post added at 08:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:31 AM ----------

Some people have reported a problem with the touchscreen, it tends to not happen when you're holding the metal part of the phones frame, so holding it in a case tends to make it happen (if that's what you ment)

Not all Z1's have this problem, only some, there was a thread about this which i've tried to find and it's eluded me, it was about the problem and someone posted a possible fix for it which some people had found to work, it's definitely in the Z1 section, just not sure where.

It involved modding a config file to reduce or highten the sensitivity of the screen's touch.

Hi, I'm having some issues relocking my bootloader, as I'd like to go back to OTA updates.

I'm currently running the below ftf and kernel:

C6802_14.3.A.0.681_Generic HK.ftf

681_jackie099.img (by jackie099)

I tried relocking the bootloader using Flashtool 0.9.15, and according to flashtool it worked, but it's nothing but boot loops after that...

I thought that maybe I need to go back to a stock kernel first, but unfortunately, I can't find one after extensive googling...

Any ideas? :confused:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
All the FTFs have a kernel in them.

Do you still want root? OTAs probably wont work with root. If you want pure stock just flash a FTF after restoring the TA backup.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hamdogg:
having a modified kernel like jackies wont allow you to boot. (locked bootloaders will only permit a totally stock ROM)

So to have root and recovery you will need to have an unlocked bootloader.

actually... you could flash your ROM... flash jackies kernel and then root.

Then flash the stock kernel.

... and then you can lock your bootloader and still have root.

.. and it will boot.

hi all,

i've been using bluetooth handsfree with my o2 mini for a while, but recently i have this annoying problem:

now i cannot make calls the ordinary way (put the handphone close to my ear & talk) because there is no voice coming out from the phone's internal speaker. i already tried with bluetooth turned on & turned off, still no sound, not even a waiting tone.

so now i always have to use bluetooth handsfree or the external speakerphone (the located at the back near the camera) to make/receive phone calls.

i suspect it's a software glitch, not a hardware problem. using bluetooth handsfree automatically turning off the phone speaker & when bluetooth is disabled, speaker will be back to normal. but now, somehow the speaker remain silent even when bluetooth is turned off.

i'll appreciate if someone could guide me how to fix this problem, if possible without hard-reset the phone.

thanks a lot & sorry for my poor english.

Hi! I'm using the Cyanogenmod 9 last build for L3, with SDMerge and Overlock 1GHz.

The L3 goes smooth since i understand how to kill those apps which are "eating" Ram in the background. I'm really happy. Greenify is very hellpfull, so i did not need to flash with dangerous -sometimes they are- apps or zips to handle the L3 little RAM.

I read a lot about Kit Kat and L3 and i think this mobile can't handle Kit Kat. I think if you want Kit Kat, you need to buy a new mobile. We can expand the hidden resources of the original LG ROM, or maybe transform this cheap mobile into a better.

But, technically, i read here about developers, who know much better than me, that they are working in a KitKat ROM for L3. Well, i don't know if that is possible, because, well, all we have are developers ROMS and a strong community as Cyanogen just finished developing ROMS for L3. All we have are nighty builds with known bugs.

So, if someone out there is an expert or developer, am I right and i should buy a better phone -not now, in a couple of months, i'm more than 2 years with my L3- or is it technically possible and, more importante, are there developers developing a KitKat ROm for L3?
