Wondering really what you are doing...

Flash any .101 ftf with flashtool then calibrate your sensors if they are not working normally.

By default Flashtool will wipe all and flash the kernel too.

Then redownload the leak rom in case your previous download is corrupt.

Extract the boot.img from leak build and fastboot it.

Reboot in recovery and flash the leak.
[Xperia Z Android Development] FateNozomi:
MSC mode read rate is good but write rate is slow as hell. Other than that, with the proper fixes available in this thread, no problems at all.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Rootk1t:
it seems that there are partitions on device that are left untouched during flashing. But if the data there gets somehow currupt, there is no way to restore them.

Your situation is not good, but can be worse.

I now several people with different sony devices where flashmode is not working. The problem is not in drivers and OSes, we tried practically everything (different PCs with different OS, different versions of flashtool, Emma and so on), but only fastboot is working and custom kernels/firmwares can be flashed, not more flashing of stock firmware, only OTA updates which end up with error if recovery and root was installed. Only restoring of nandroid backup is possible if recovery was installed. So i presume files that some files got corrupt & cannot be easily recovered.

P.S: in your case maybe there is a hardware problem where there is a broken link to sensors.
[Xperia Z Android Development] niddnet:
You're quite right - it could be much worse - the question is, what has happened to that area of the FS... where is it, and how would we write to it. Of course, I'm happy enough that I can still use Flashmode, Fastboot... I can unlock and relock my BL... Having no sensors is a pain, and it does take away from the usage of the phone, but it's not unbearable.

It's only half of me that wants to fix it because I want the features... the other half of me wants to fix it, because it annoys me that we can't!! :)

Let's see what happens!!
[Xperia Z Android Development] niaboc79:
All files related to sensors are in kernel and system partitions.

Try to flash an older JB 4.1.2 build.

If same results your phone have an hardware problem.
[Xperia Z Android Development] niddnet:
Well, I'll see what happens - I've not gone back THAT far I must admit.

I don't believe the problem is caused by hardware failure, as such - other Xperia Z users had the same problem when upgrading to newer firmwares - as did Nexus 7 users - as did I upgrading to this leak. The process of the upgrade may have caused a problem with hardware - but there was definitely no fault up to the point of flashing for me, or other users...

Playing with a completely different ROM now, to see if I get anywhere with that - once I get bored, I'll flash a VERY old FTF.

Thanks again for all the advice!

Hi guys!

Has anyone experienced this issue where both sd-cards' contents are not displayed in Windows explorer, especially the external SD which shows only the two xml files on its root and nothing else? The internal though, displays some files, but not all. The free/used space is displayed ok.

EDIT: Fixed after deodexing again. Must've been something gone wrong with odexing (by mistake) after deodexing, and some odex file giving wrong information to the usb mounter, in this case PC..
[Xperia Z Android Development] fards:
Just a thought, might have missed it if you have, but have you tried sonys diagnostic in the rom? Or service menu through dialer?

{edit} scratch the stock diagnostic is poor.

The one in the service menu is better.

Dial *#*#7378423#*#*

And I'm not sure you quite understand about the sysfs, it's not a real physical location.

Is a virtual filesystem to show you what's happening in the kernel userspace.

Kind of like someone describing to you what eating an ice cream is like rather than you eating an ice cream ;)
[Xperia Z Android Development] lhurtado:
Just a couple ideas thinking about non typical partitions... If you have an old TA backup, try restore of something got corrupted there.

The last two updates upgrades nfc, I really don't know what it does but if it is interrupted, could corrupt some other hardware functions...

I really hope you can fix it.

[Xperia Z Android Development] niddnet:
Hi Fards

Tried the Service Menu Calibrations - they all don't work with an error of -1 (minus one).

I also don't like sysfs now, because of your analogy. I prefer to eat the ice-cream myself.

If it's virtual - then can it be rebuilt? Copied from a working device?

Hey guys, does anyone have any info on a possible ETA for a leak of 4.4.2 Sony kernel sources? Can't wait to try and build my first Xperia Z kernel from those sources.. :cyclops:

[Xperia Z Android Development] beniamin24:
i find it irritateing that certain games (original playstore ones not from warez sites) do not work, for example Asphalt 8, it works once when installed after that it only works after i clar data dafaq? Then is The Dark Knight Rises FC, after thar is Alien Versus Predator messed up resolution and the list can go on. And another fact is those themes, they do not work even after i reboot, i pushed, installed, cleared data, fresh install everything they just do not apply. So guess i have to wait for the official then?

1. This lockscreen animation looks beautiful.

3. The themes are beautiful, well there is a lota difference from the existenz ones. The wallpaper moves when the app drawer is operated and its nice. Better if personally tried out
