[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
I said any ftf ending in 534, there are no stripped FTFs for 534 FTFs

Flashing ANY full FTF will mean you do not have root or recovery, but the point of flashing a 534 FTF is that you can directly install dual recovery onto it using the installer.bat. The installer can use a vulnerability with the 534 FW to obtain a root shell

There are plenty of guides, I keep writing these posts about 3-4 times a day on average and sometimes upto 10 times a day.

Its up to the OPs of the guides and tutorials to update the instructions, the fact they are not being updated is a big issue.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abbychauhan:
That's what i meant.. Most of the people Run into the same problems and ask the solution again and again for which dont u think wastage of time? As today i switched from AOSP from Stock and running into problems feeling like i dont know anything.. It would be batter if we have a tutorial so if someone face problems it can be directly pointed to the tutorial.. Well completely ur choice i am just giving suggestion.. Thanks for clearing up for me

---------- Post added at 01:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:26 PM ----------

I read somewhere that if Running Camera Problems then downgrade to 534 and do the whole process and then Come to 757.. Is it true?

- Any Clue??
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
No problems. Like I said, we should not start ANOTHER guide or tutorial thread, that is just going to add to the confusion. What should happen is that the original guide/tutorial threads need updating which has not happened for a long time. I wont create another thread for this.

Yes, but more likely just flashing a 757 kernel and clearing the data for the camera apps will work.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abbychauhan:
Nope that didnt do.. I flashed Doomkernal v19 and then v21.. Didnt help then i flashed Advance Stock Kernal 757 that also didnt help

Then i flashed 757 stripped ftf of the Device model from Nut via flashtool that didnt helped either.. Any other suggestions?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
reinstall the rom then
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abbychauhan:
Ok i ll do that too.. Thanks man

---------- Post added at 02:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:06 PM ----------

Dirty flashed the ROM again.. Still same problem.. I ll tell u exactly what is happening .. Camera unable to focus and when i half press the camera button then flash Starts bit it dont focus Remains blurry and when i full press the button it Hangs with Flash light on.. :(
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
well do a clean install, wipe cache and dalvik for all camera apps first
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abbychauhan:
Did that too.. Still nothing.. When i went away from Stock to AOSP i was on 290 FW and now today i am trying to come back to Stock i am facing this problem
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Did you back up your TA before unlocking the bootloader?

Then, flash a 290 FTF, relock the bootloader by restoring your TA, then upgrade.

290 was a 4.2 ROM I think, unlocking the bootloader on 4.2 resulted in that problem. The only way around it was to restore the TA, upgrade and then unlock the bootloader on a 4.3+ ROM
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abbychauhan:
290 was 4.3 Rom from which the camera problem was solved for AOSP ROM. FW Earlier then 290 was breaking the camera.

---------- Post added at 03:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:13 PM ----------

I think this is why people gives this type of instructions before installing new ROMs..

You must install 4.2.2 with Root and CWM. If you don't come from 4.2.2 then

- Install Offical 4.2.2 Firmware. 6903 Firmware or 6902 firmware

- RootYour Device

- Install CWM

Copy my ROM on your Internal SD Card

Install My ROM with Wipe/Factory Reset

Turn Off Your Phone

Go in Flashmode and Install Original 4.4.2 [.757] Kernel for Xperia Z1 6903 or Xperia Z1 6902

Reboot your Phone
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
well try that then

EXCEPT, DO NOT USE THAT TOOL TO ROOT YOUR PHONE

its malware and send your IMEI number to an ip address in china

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abbychauhan:
Ok man as i told u my camera was unable to Focus when i came back from AOSP to Stock ( I unlocked my Bootloader and went to AOSP ROMs when i was on 290 FW 4.3 and now want to come to 757 Stock ), i tried the following -

I directly flashed 757 from AOSP - No focus,

I did Downgrade to 534 - No focus,

Then i rooted the 534 and upgraded to 757 - No focus,

Then i flashed old 290 FW ROM - Camera is Focussing :)

So now i need ur suggestion, All i want 757 Stock Rooted ROM in which camera do Focus.

Edit : I want to tell that also I didn't faced any Focus problem on Any of the AOSP ROM
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Update with pccompanion and see if the camera focuses then.

If it does continue with the root process I have described above.

If not, please let me know
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abbychauhan:
Update from a 290 ROM? Any 290 ROM will do with PC companion or u suggest Some ROM
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Update from a rom that has a working camera.....

use pccompanion
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abbychauhan:

Hi [MENTION=3843529]gregbradley[/MENTION]

Got this error while updating via pc companion

I am on iHackers 2.0 Minimal the old one which is 290 FW 4.3

Camera working fine on this

I can't read that from the photo, and is not in English

---------- Post added at 05:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:56 AM ----------

But I bet it says, you cannot update as you have modified software.

If so, is because your bootloader is unlocked. So rock your bootloader by restoring your ta partition then try the update again
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abbychauhan:
Image in english but didnt uploaded well and Yes it says you cannot update as you have modified software

Cant i just relock my BL by pressing BLU button in flashtool.. Right?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Yes, but its best to restore your TA
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abbychauhan:
Very sad to say.. I dont have TA backup.. U didnt remember but We had the TA backup discussion.. And i admit i am idot that didnt took Backup.. Just i was in so hurry to Unlock Bootloader when camera problems solved so i forgot to take backup..
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
OK, relock with flashtool

then upgrade to 757

Use flashtool to re-unlock your bootloader (Be careful you have the correct folder structure, otherwise it will not work)

Then flash a custom kernel with recovery ([NUT]s dualrecovery kernel or doomkernel) then root the phone.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abbychauhan:
"Be careful you have the correct folder structure, otherwise it will not work" - How can i check that?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Do the other steps first, lets start making some progress
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
So, what you should have done is this

1) flashed a FTF so that your camera works

2) relocked the boot with flashtool

3) use pccompanion to update to latest available firmware

4)Check camera

5)If it does not work, stop and let me know

6) If it does work, then unlock boot using flashtool. If unlocking with flashtool does not work after you have upgraded with pccompanion then read this http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=51604352&postcount=22

7) Flash custom kernel of your choice

8) root phone
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abbychauhan:
Hey man.. Awesome news camera working fine now.. SuperThanks to [MENTION=3853774]guddu2011[/MENTION] he is a good person.. I met him personally he stays in the same City so what we did that

I was on iHackers 290 FW on which Camera was working fine.. Then he flashed Stock 681 FTF via Flashtool and then we checked that camera is working fine on that too.. Then he fastboot the boot.img of Doomkernal v21 then he want to recovery .. And flashed Monx latest 757 and then flashed Doomkernal v21 and then Restarted.. And camera working fine on that too.

So now i have 757 ROM with working Camera and everything.

Thanks for your time man.. Ur great.

I know the process u told will also worked.

[Verizon LG G2] Tulsadiver:
Totally new to the G2. I previously had a Galaxy S4. I have the 24A build. Rooted with TWRP v2.7.0.0 I was able to install beanstalk and Resurrection but not carbon or pacman (boot loops). Is there some kind of patch I need to flash with certain roms? I did some searching but with my grandson tugging on my arm all the time it is difficult at best finding time to research.
[Verizon LG G2] mjones73:
Because your bootstack is 24A, you can only run roms that are using the 24A source code underneath. That would be any stock based KK rom. There is a Carbon beta in the thread that will work also, you just can't use the nightlies until they are updated.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=52376271&postcount=444

Most of the AOSP based roms are using the drivers/kernel from the older JB source that was available at the time, to go back to one of them, you need to downgrade your bootstack on your phone to 12B.

The devs should start moving all their roms to use the 24A/KK source now that is available, it will just take some time.
[Verizon LG G2] Tulsadiver:
Thanks! So after flashing most AOSP roms I then flash the full 12B bootstack, then GAPPS?
[Verizon LG G2] natypes:
If you don't mind me asking, how did you flash TWRP. That's my next step. I rooted last night.
[Verizon LG G2] Tulsadiver:
I used the Kitkat 24A Freedom zip. Extract and run the bat file.
[Verizon LG G2] mjones73:
AutoRec - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2715496

The 24A release patched the exploit used to install a recovery, you need to downgrade your aboot back to 12B so it can be flashed, AutoRec does it all automatically for you. Just grab the vs980 version from that thread.
[Verizon LG G2] natypes:
Thanks man. After going through pretty much every page of the TWRP thread, on page 22 I found that lol
[Verizon LG G2] Tulsadiver:
How neat is that! Thanks for your help!
[Verizon LG G2] mjones73:
I found it's the easiest way to do it, for those who wanna flash it manually/understand what it's doing, JackPotClavin has the steps in his CM11 thread.
[Verizon LG G2] Tulsadiver:
One more stupid question, what gapps do I use after downgrading, I tied running this apk, going straight to recovery from there, installing carbon, kk gapps and still bootlooped.
[Verizon LG G2] mjones73:
I believe I used Banks gapps. Which Carbon are you installing? The nightlies won't work if you're at 24A.
[Verizon LG G2] Tulsadiver:
I did get it install running the downgrade zip and also the pacman rom but i had issues when also installing gapps (worked fine without) but one of them didn't have data. Do you have any idea where the notification and status bar icons are located either within the roms before they are installed or after? I would like to change them.

Sorry no I don't.

If I want to use the finger print part of the lock screen I have to use the stock lock screen. Not to big of a deal BUT...

No widget support

No notifications on lock screen.

Two much other wording all over the lock screen. Instead of showing alternative password how about hide it until my finger print is wrong. Instead of emergency call hide it until I need it. Why scroll Verizon Wireless on the left bottom.

This is Kit Kat were is widget support and notifications??????

I've been having a problem for the past week in that I could not connect to my Exchange Server or passthru to the Internet with and ActiveSync connection.

At least for the moment, on the Connections menu, clicking on "USB to PC" and disabling "advanced networking functionality" seems to have resolved the problem.

Anybody else run into this?

And what is this advanced networking, anyway?

I've also noticed that Sprite Backup would fail with it enabled, so it seems I've solved two problems at the same time...

hi Folks,

i have the same issue with Active Sync. I am using Active Sync for syncronizing emails, contacts etc ... I have discovered if you installed the device (hardreset) then you may able to sync with the exchange for the first time. After that you are not longer able to sync it.

I used different ROM's (Dopod, Qtek,O2) all have the same problem. I am not able to sync over Active Sync (4.2 latest and prior versions) with my exchange server. I need to sync over 3G Network and thats a bit expensive over the time with O2.

I think this device is more than incomplete since i am using a Wizard too and i have no problems with the same pc on my Wizard device.

I hope there will be a ROM update really soon that covers many issues discussed in that board here...

At least i am really disappointed about the device which HTC sold over the market. :cry:

Thread Closed

Ok, this thread is being closed based on the following point that offering money for products that are basically "Free" or "Paid" could constitute Warez, and also the point that what constitutes a "Good" editor, is very subjective.

Some apps have licensing agreements, and XDA does not violate those agreements.

Call the technical support line (not customer care) for your carrier and inquire whether or not they are working on the towers in your area. They can also "reboot" your SIM.
