But I downgraded to 4.3 (.101) again, because my musics skipped a lot when using bluetooth headset in kitkat 230

Have uploaded a v2. this one has FULL ROOT (sorry about that)

So no need for the SuperSu zip

Also included a Flashable zip with only one modification which is the SDcard fix.

Everything is untouched in this apart from system/etc/permissions/platform.xml file

Mirrors are currently uploading.

Enjoy :)
[Xperia Z General] nick2crete:
Thanks again for your time and your help to the community ,

What this sdcard modification is about ? please upload it to a mirror as well for us without torrents ..
[Xperia Z General] zippy01:
No problem :)

The SD Card modification is to make the external SD card writable. There is many apps that do this but I was adding to my personal rom anyway so added it optional :)

Mirrors are coming any minute :D

It didn't work. Currently in a boot loop.
[Xperia Z General] zippy01:
What didn't work? What exactly did you do and what firmware was you on? Are you sure you in bootloop as it does take quite a whil to boot first time
[Xperia Z General] aooga:
I wasn't expecting it to work. Not your fault at all. :) I was on 4.2.2.

I tried it on the Tmobile variant (C6606) and it reboots at the Sony logo.

When I record a video there is no sound on playback after I flashed this. Any one else have this problem?
[Xperia Z General] zippy01:
So was I... Twice ;) But I formatted and wiped everything first. In CWM there is an option to wipe before flashing a rom and it will wipe the correct partitions properly

Afraid I've not tried
[Xperia Z General] aooga:
Sorry, but I'm not understanding what you mean. You had a boot loop twice?
[Xperia Z General] zippy01:
No I installed from 4.2.2 twice and once from 4.3

Oh. Well I guess it doesn't work on tmobile phones then. Thanks anyway :)

Can I overflash the flashable zip with sd card fix over the normal zip?

Gesendet von meinem C6603 mit Tapatalk
[Xperia Z General] zippy01:
Shouldn't make a difference unless you we're trying to keep data

Shouldn't see why not but best to flash the stripped ftf aswell but not including userdata.sin, cache.sin and appslog.sin and you will keep data
[Xperia Z General] MMX35:
But i need the sd card fix or can you upload the sd card separate?
[Xperia Z General] zippy01:
I can upload the permissions file if you wish. It is up to you which zip you install they are totally optional.
[Xperia Z General] MMX35:
Please upload the permission file
[Xperia Z General] zippy01:
HERE

Unzip, add to a temp folder on system. Set permissions, move to system\etc\permissions\

Reboot and then done

There is also apps that do this very well on the playstore I intergrated it because I didn't want to install an app

EDIT

It only worked from the C6903 .101 firmware. All other's resulted in a boot loop. Do you plan to release a fix for the laggy scrolling in settings? Some other roms have it, so I was just wondering.

So, how do I do this from fastboot mode?

I failed a DIY ROM and I'm getting the same as F4113n. The only mode I have successfully booted is fastboot. Phone responds both to Flashtool and "fastboot devices" on command line.

I actually tried building a NCB rom myself, but I'd rather use this tested one from you, zippy01, if at all possible. Of course, I would like to do it without wiping any data, also if possible. My bootloader is locked and I'd like to keep it that way.

What do I do to get myself out of this mess?

Must I follow vkass' suggestion? It sounds like I'll have to wipe stuff. :-/

Also, I still don't know how to do that.
[Xperia Z General] zippy01:
What version of Android was you coming from when you decided to install my rom?

Also what have been your exact steps?

Thank you
[Xperia Z General] Mike Austin:
As a noob, I am unclear about the instructions, even after some time browsing around.

Is a suitable flashable zip a stock 4.2? A link would help, if possible.

Do I use flashtool 1.9?

What does flash 'with a working recovery' mean? I have backed up my apps and data using the Sony backup.

Sorry for questions on what must be obvious to most other people here.
[Xperia Z General] zippy01:
You need to be rooted and have recovery installed what firmware do you currently have?

The flashable zip is stock system 4.4.2 not 4.2
[Xperia Z General] Mike Austin:
I am not rooted. Rooting is what I want to achieve. I have just OTA'd to 4.4.2. Everything is standard Sony. I thought the flashable zip had to be 4.1 or 4.2 (probably the stock or equivalent) in order to get rooted. Then I thought the procedure was to flash your pre-rooted 4.4.2. I have no recovery software installed as yet, just backed up the apps and data only.
[Xperia Z General] zippy01:
Ok HERE is a torrent link to 4.2.2. You will need to download and flash with flashtool. Then you will need to root, install recovery and follow the guide as in the 1st post.

Let me know if you get stuck on anything I have said

Best regards
[Xperia Z General] Mike Austin:
Thanks for your patience Zippy.

Just to summarise, I have downloaded the following:

flashtool-0.9.16.0-windows.exe

Xperia Z C6603_10_3_1_A_2_67 4.2.2_Generic NCB.ftf

android_root.exe

XZ-lockeddualrecovery2.7.123-BETA.flashable.zip

Xperia Z 4.4 230 NCB flashable v3 with SD fix.zip

C6603_230_NCB 4.4.2 STRIPPED.ftf

And I will perform the following:

Flash Xperia Z C6603_10_3_1_A_2_67 4.2.2_Generic NCB.ftf with flashtool-0.9.16.0-windows.exe

Root with android_root.exe

Install XZ-lockeddualrecovery2.7.123-BETA.flashable.zip with flashtool-0.9.16.0-windows.exe

Switch off

Flash Xperia Z 4.4 230 NCB flashable v3 with SD fix.zip with flashtool-0.9.16.0-windows.exe

Switch off

Flash C6603_230_NCB 4.4.2 STRIPPED.ftf with flashtool-0.9.16.0-windows.exe

Reboot

Enjoy

The only step I am totally clear of is 9, if I get to it.
[Xperia Z General] zippy01:
Step 3 is wrong. You will need the windows installer.

Step 5 is also wrong you don't need flashtool for that put the flashable zip on SD card then enter recovery and

5a. Wipe data

5b. Install zip

Apart from that all looks OK and I'm sure you will get to step 9 :)
[Xperia Z General] Mike Austin:
Drat, I have screwed the whole thing up! It switches on to the SONY logo and does nothing! It dose not even switch off.

Something seems to have gone wrong when installing the 4.4.2 flashable and it does not seem to have any operating system now.
[Xperia Z General] fedevd:
Keep pressed VOL+ and POWER buttons for 10 secs (your device will vibe 3 times) and will be shutted down, then just keep Flashtool ready to flash (it will ask for device connection) and plug it pressing, if I'm not wrong, VOL+ (it will power on the device in flashboot mode), then just flash stock 4.2, root it with Doomlord's root tool (the '*.bat' file with the kernel, you will find it here), then use temporary CWM installer (Krabapel one - here too) and finally install 4.4 zippy stock rom..

Enviado desde mi C6603 mediante Tapatalk
[Xperia Z General] zippy01:
Just flash the stripped ftf with flashtool and should be fine.

The flashable zip is just the system and will not boot on its own. If that doesn't work flash the zip again via recovery and then the stripped ftf

I'm assuming he has locked bootloader so flashing kernels would be a bad idea
[Xperia Z General] NoSubstitute:
The story so far ...

I previously had another DIY DR ROM, v4.3 .101. So a regular diy stock NCB ROM with root.

I've followed [NUT]'s guide exactly. Link

Final step was:

Since I was on 4.3 (higher than 4.2.2) I assumed I could follow the first instruction, so I flashed my stripped FTF with Flashtool and then tried to reboot the phone into recovery. Fail.

I currently have the phone hooked up to the computer in fastboot mode, awaiting instructions how to save my a... :)

UPDATE!

[NUT] is trying to help me over in his DIY thread.

Another update!

Removed the XZDR.prop and now it responded on boot and I am now in TWRP.

Awaiting response to my question whether I should just flash my own ROM.zip now or if I should do something else to not end up in the same situation again.
[Xperia Z General] Mike Austin:
No, that did not work. It must have been something else I did earlier on. I have been back to the start and done everything several times, with mixed results. At least it is not bricked - it is more like a sort of mud pie. I had problems rooting - 2 methods (including Kingo) did not work but DooMLoRD's method did.

Although I now have your unrooted KitKat on my phone, it seems that I no longer have recovery. Following the instructions for the recovery, I installed XZ-lockeddualrecovery2.7.123-BETA.flashable.zip with your ROM, but it did not boot after. Then I noted that your ROM says it includes XZDualRecovery 2.7.123 (V3 only), so I thought there may be a conflict. Then I reflashed your ROM by itself and I still cannot get into recover. Strangely, the green LED for recovery does not come on when powering up, but it does when powering down - although still not allowing me get into recovery.

So, I think will stick with what I have - a working phone that is basically stock KitKat but rooted. Recovery is something I need more than my phone does.

Thanks for your help - all of you on this forum.
[Xperia Z General] NoSubstitute:
All is well that ends well!

Flashed my NCB.zip and it booted fine. Installed/ran/uninstalled the SDFix app to remove that silly limitation. System seems fine now. Google Play Services is running hot, but I'll let it be for a few days and see what people think about it or if someone comes up with a better "fix" than killing such an integral part of the system.

Thank you for offering your help, zippy01.
[Xperia Z General] zippy01:
I'm a little confused why was you mixing your own rom with mine?

So you didn't install my zip at all?

Glad you sorted it
[Xperia Z General] beakerav:
it went wrong (oops)

Hi Zippy01

great update once again.

coming from your previous rom (101 generic rooted) I decided to try this one out.

Followed all the steps and everything went fine, phone rebooted, kitkat loaded and all was fine.

I then decided to reboot back into working recovery and backup newly installed rom but on reboot the phone just stalled (black, backlit screen) after displaying the SONY logo.

Followed instructions given to others in this thread that experienced similar problem, but after trying various steps I couldn't recover from the stalled state.

So I downloaded an official ftf of 10.5.A.0.230 CE1, and used androxyde FlashTool to get phone working again. Luckily all my user data still intact.

So now I have kitkat 4.4.2 running, but not rooted, no working recovery installed and locked bootloader.

How can I get this rooted now? I don't want to unlock BL or lose user data.

I was thinking to install working recovery, then flash your .230 rooted rom again then stripped .230 and hope it works this time around.

Do you think this will work? Your advice much appreciated :)
[Xperia Z General] Mike Austin:
I went through the same process several times, but I could not seem to retain working recovery at the end either. I am content to be back where I was when I bought the phone, but with root access.

After this process, I had to manually restore my data and apps, having backed up to internal sdcard (where's the smiley with red cheeks?). I have now backed them up to external sdcard with Titanium. Maybe this can be restored if I decide to go through the process again and am able to retain the recovery?
[Xperia Z General] beakerav:
it went wrong (oops)

Thanks for your comments, I followed yours and NoSubstitutes endeavours to get things working and applied all the useful advice you were both given to my own predicament, but to no avail.

Although I ended up with KitKat I have no root :(

I guess if I gave up the "preserve user data holy grail" the installation would all go to plan, but it takes me ages to get all the apps, settings and data back in place doing things that way.

It'd be nice if the pre-rooted rom was available as a FTF file, that would cancel the quandry of installing the rom via working recovery when it ain't installed (or working) LOL
[Xperia Z General] Mike Austin:
Did you check that you were rooted immediately after DooMLoRD's rooting procedure?
