Hi!

There is actually a way to root the 4.2.2 and 4.3 Stock-Rom by flashing just a vunerable Kernel of a previous Version (iirc).

How likely will it be, that this method is still working after the official Release of 4.4 Kitkat?

Without unlocking the Bootloader ofc.?

Just asking as i will probably stick to the Stock-ROM for some while, after seeing that the camera-performance isn't that great after all(even worse than stock).

Just trimming down the unneeded bloatware, and installing xPrivacy for a little bit more control, what you think, anyone tried to apply the working rooting-method to the leaked 4.4-Build?

Feedback from those that tried it out, is much appreciated( if this build isn't pre-rooted)

Thanks! :good:
[Xperia Z Android Development] lhurtado:
This leak is rooted, but you need unlocked bootloader to install it. Also, as long as you can unlock bootloader root isn't a problem.

Only had a really quick look, so may have missed something, but are you running an exfat sdcard ?

Texfat module isn't playing nicely

Looks like it's struggling with a couple of installed apps, smart keyboard being one of them.

Was this in first boot? I presume you didn't wipe data if so.

How to get back to stock rom

I recently unlocked my bootloader and flashed doomlord leaked rom but inow i revat back to rooted locked bootloader (i have backup of my ta) any one help this topic

efforts i have made but bootloop :crying:

ist i flashed stock kernel but didnt work:confused:

now i again flashed doomlord kernel and rom now working but i want to revert back to stock/custom rom, stock kernel rooted locked bootloader with ta inact
[Xperia Z Android Development] DaRk MaDnEsS:
you can't do that because there is no stock kernal for 4.4.2 and you need that to lock the boot loader

so currently to use Kitkat you need to stay unlocked or wait for official version

and to fix your current problem either flash 4.4.2 again to flash a stock rom

Edit: to be exact install flashtool grab and FTF of 4.3 or any thing you like

flash it and get back it to life :D

WARNING! Gyro / Compass / Magneto Sensors!

Folks,

Fully appreciating the risks which can occur flashing ROMs, and leaks, and whatever, but this is something you all NEED to be aware of, as a very real issue.

This .227 leak has totally killed ALL my HAL sensors - a very similar fault which has plagued other devices in the past - it appears the area of filesystem where the sensor names are referenced is corrupted or damaged, resulting in errors... Running anything that references the sensors, either shows a static '0' (Zero) for the readings of the sensors, or 'Waiting for Sensor' or such other message.

A logcat shows a huge mass of:

E/Sensors ( 851): HAL: ERR open file to read with error 2

E/Sensors ( 851): HAL:ERR can't read chip_enable

(I've stripped everything else from it for this post).

Reading the posts in other threads - nothing has been 100% able to revive the sensors, not even a re-flash.

I have re-flashed several times, reflashed stock FW with Flashtool *AND* directly with SEUS, even tried older ROMs - the sensors are, to all intents, DEAD.

Bear this in mind when you flash.

(I should add that, otherwise, the ROM seems great... but no rotation, no compass etc - it's a real pain!)

Has this happened to anyone else? Has anyone else been able to get sensors working again?

Any of the devs can tell me where in the FS I should be looking to resolve it?

Ta.
[Xperia Z Android Development] almostthere:
No such issue on mine. Compass, proximity sensor , rotation all works. So unless others can verify, I'd caution against making such sweeping warnings
[Xperia Z Android Development] DooMLoRD:
i am on the leaked ROM, just tested and all sensors are working perfectly fine!

anyone else having issues with sensors?
[Xperia Z Android Development] fards:
Mine gyro wasn't calibrated when I first flashed it, but that's happened a lot jumping between Sony stock and a few experiments so it's nothing new and easy enough to calibrate

Not seen anything like that in logs though.

Looks curious, any more logs to go with it? Full dmesg maybe?
[Xperia Z Android Development] niddnet:
There was a previous post or two in this thread saying that some people had issues with the sensor calibration after flashing this ROM - I guess mine was just a little worse!!

Another interesting bit of logcat, DoomLord, if it's any help?

shell@C6603:/ $ logcat | grep -i -E 'gyro|Sensor|accel|compass|magnet'
logcat | grep -i -E 'gyro|Sensor|accel|compass|magnet'
E/Sensors ( 774): HAL:unknown compass id ©@@ÉÄDr@/─p☻ -- params default to ak8975 and might be wrong.

Obviously rather than a blank filename in the other I posted, this has just left some weird corrupted characters...

What's really phasing me, is the fact that the issue isn't resolving with full wipes and reflashes!

[Xperia Z Android Development] kingvortex:
Sony have only ever said May, which gives them almost 3 weeks from today to release the update. I'm not sure why people are placing conditions on the release that were never announced by Sony (the beginning or middle of the month etc).

It would be great if they released tomorrow or in the next few days, but anything said about it by anyone that isn't Sony is nothing but pure speculation (or in the case of that user on the Sony support forum, fantasy or even just trolling).
[Xperia Z Android Development] stilkus:
Rom is great

I installed the Rom yesterday by installing the latest JB rom through the recovery Followed by the leak and didn't wipe cache nor nothing and every app and setting I had was preserved unchanged.

My initial thoughts about the ROM is great, I noticed the battery life imporved a little and my antutu score went up around 150 points also I expected more improvement in this area.

All sensors are working fine till now :p and I haven't experienced any restarts or crazy **** so far.

I feel this leak is way beyond alpha and beta releases so people expect the rom to be officially released very soon.

I will update you in case I find a bug or anything.

Hi :)

On the subject of fixing my sensors (still) - would anyone mind sharing a file with me?

I need /data/cal.bin and /sys/bus/iio/devices/*

That's the sensor calibration data file and devices as far as I can see - but, on my device, they're all missing. It's somewhere to start.

E/Sensors ( 1042): HAL: ERR open file /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device-19/buffer/enable to write with error 2

I've since found a post on SonyMobile's forums, that shows the same 'sensor issue' has been reported by people upgrading to 10.4.1.B.101 too. It's only software though - it HAS to be.

I've just re-flashed back to this leak, so if anyone wants anything more detailed from me, please let me know.

So the requested sysfs file (used by sonys sensor framework/libinvensense) simply does not exist.

Are you running a custom kernel?

If yes (and i'm pretty sure you do), make sure that it was compiled with CONFIG_IIO

Also see: https://github.com/adrian-bl-yuga/k...mmit/32415842cd8ba99074f8638c4a005a2012d4d242
[Xperia Z Android Development] niddnet:
Hi Pabx - thanks for your reply.

I'll be honest - I'm not fully up on kernels... at least, as far as flashing separately - however, I did flash the leak firmware using the same instructions as I believe everyone else on here has followed - so I would imagine the kernel has the libs you are talking of.

However, I did try to find /sys/bus/iio - and as you rightly assume, it's not there.

So that leads me to further questions - what kernel is everyone else using to run this leak? (and what kernel am *I* using!) - and is there another one I can flash, which will work with this ROM...?

Let's see what comes up.

I guess I'm right in assuming, if the libs are missing from the kernel, it's not going to be a case of just getting a copy of /sys/bus/iio etc. and putting that back into the filesystem?

[Xperia Z Android Development] Rajeev:
Yea happens to me with some themes. But some themes working after a reboot...
[Xperia Z Android Development] fards:
There's no data/cal.bin

What happens to the sysfs if you flash 101 with flashtool first?
[Xperia Z Android Development] niddnet:
That's what I find strange - I've reflashed various XperiaZ ROMs back to the device - both using FlashTool, and using the Sony Update thingamajig. (naturally, have to relock BL before using the Sony one, but I just figured it'd be worth a try)

Even on stock .101 FW (direct from SUS), with relocked BL, the errors still remain. So I guess that means that, the kernel itself doesn't get touched during a flash (which I somehow find a little unlikely - but I might just not understand this stuff) - or the area of SysFS which is broken doesn't get touched by the Kernel. Although, I've done full wipes too - both in Recovery and via Fastboot.

My limited knowledge of this kind of thing says it shouldn't be too difficult to fix. But that's why you're developers and I'm not!!

If anyone wants remote-access to the device to look at it directly, I can arrange it.

The Z 4.4.2 Leaked ROM

Hi Doom,

I would have one request,

But before that a question,

Is it possible to run it on actual sony kernel which is the:

3.4.0-ge09aff8

BuildUser@BuildHost#1

Wed Jan 15 17:28:36 2014 ?

If so, the request would be, could you (in an extreme gentleness) port it to the XZ in advance, before the Update came out?

As some users, I got a LB XZ as my carrier locked it at the sale...

So can't unfortunately unlock it :S

And I just don't have the knowledge to do it ( to port ) :S

Thank in advance, and Best Regards,

Oxydeme.
