Xperia Z1 C6906 ROOTED on OFFICIAL FW C6906 14.4.A.0.108 from OTA on LOCKED BL

I am already rooted on Xperia Z1 which would be great except I am unable to get rid of the message insufficient space to install apks, which is not the case I have lots of space. I have cleaned the caches. It seems to allow some apps from google play to install but not any backed up ones I have stored on micro sd. I mainly would like to use "APP2SD" and it says that this is "not supported on my device".

So I thought I would try a custom ROM to fix the problem.

I currently have a Xperia Z1 C6906 ROOTED on OFFICIAL FW C6906 14.4.A.0.108 from OTA on LOCKED BOOTLOADER. I will backup the TA Partition today in case I need to Unlock the bootloader.

Can I use this ROM on C6906? OR would another ROM be better for my device? What steps would I need to follow and at what point?

Thanks for any help XDA

Dirty Flash of 7.4?

Hello,

Is it possible to dirty flash 7.4 over 7.2? Just trying to avoid having to go through restoring data from a backup if I can.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Vuja1:
Syes, because u have new options in aroma
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Jounsa:
Just to be clear, I can flash this on via recovery without a Full Wipe?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Vuja1:
Yeah, just choose customize rom
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Jounsa:
Fantastic :)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Jounsa:
Hey. That didn't seem to work for me.

Looks like I might have to do a full wipe and install the 7.4 ROM in the morning after I charge up.

Sucks :(
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] shawnthecableguy:
Any reason why I have no phone icon in app drawer? Everything else seems good, just can;t get to contacts or phone as there are no icons in the app drawer..
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Vuja1:
I'm on 7.4 but i updated from 7.2 to 7.4 without wipe... Just go in recovery start last installation and choose Customize Rom without wipe, choose your options and install it .I did that yesterday, and didn't loose anything...

This is for the first time i am trying to flash the rom but whenever i try to do it.. it says E: can't open the sdcard/(full rom name). I am using cwm . My phone is 6902 unlock bootloader. .681. Please help . Should i flash the kernel first??

Try first tu update it on .756 or .108 stock, because of kernel and it's cwm, maybe cwm is old.

Chromecast screen cast

I bought chromecast yesterday and i tried to enable the 'screen cast from any device mod' as detailed in this thread.

http://xdaforums.com/hardware-hacking/chromecast/experimental-enable-mirroring-device-t2812193

in the thread it mentions if you get a FC relating to play store service then you must do the following;

For those STILL having issues,

Check /system/lib/hw directory for the file "audio.r_submix.default.so".

If it doesn't exist, ask your device maintainer to add audio.r_submix.default to

the product_packages in the device.mk file. (You may not know what it means, but they will.)

EXAMPLE (Thanks, [MENTION=3900214]runandhide05[/MENTION]!):

http://review.teameos.org/#/c/389/

I have checked and audio.r_submix.default.so is present in this rom but i still get FC (i have also applied the fix from the thread). has anyone else been able to get screencast working on this rom? the Z1 is confirmed as working in the thread quoted. thanks all.

i am on adv stk kernel with dream music mod applied

Did a dirty flash from 7.4 to 7.5..

So settings & all apps are white?

And never is Criskelo rom shown in information about the phone , just .108?

EDIT.. A Factory reset fixes this.

Now om 7.6...Great Rom :D

Since 7.4 version, I have been installing 7.5 & 7.6 version by customizing ROM option [no full wipe]

version is still showing 7.4 but features are coming. Do I need to full wipe and install 7.6 or do I have complete features currently?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] tont_iit:
Confirm to full wipe and install to version 7.6 now. :good:
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] dodietheshorters:
It must be something in the ROM that causes it, perhaps some configuration in GravityBox.

Whenever I want to launch it, it crashes and I get message "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped."

Do a full wipe for flashing new rom

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] jontr:
I read about the issues with version number when flashing without full wipe - and I'm fine with it, as everything else works. Unfortunately in case of OTA Updater there's an issue. And if I can get away with installing all my stuff all over again, I'm all in for that option. Was wondering if anyone else had same problem and if some one knows the solution.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] oscarillo:
Well "maybe" is not a good answer because the C6903 an the C6906 are the same phones just different regions,

any one else, what was missing on installation or what options do I have to choose while installing?

I notice one problem nie 7.6..its lagging a moment after swap for answering call..
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Jounsa:
Hello,

Since updating to 7.6 after Clean Flash, I've been getting quite a few random reboots. Could it be my kernel?

I had a soft brick happen to me yesterday, but I was able to restore to stock (both firmware and kernel), root, and then flash CriskeloROM back onto my phone. Also restored my apps and data using Titanium Backup.

My bootloader is also Locked.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] jontr:
I think I found one serious error.

I tried to encrypt my phone - after a clean install. Encrypt process went through without any issues, but when the phone rebooted, I had to put the unlock code. The problem is, that there was no keyboard to use for that purpose. I could not access the phone therefore and had to wipe it again and install mod from scratch. My suspicion is, that the lack of Google Keyboard might be the culprit here - Encryption worked fine on version 7.4, but I'm not sure if it had Google Keyboard preinstalled or did I install it manually.

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] MickieH:
Ahh, thanks, I see it now.

Well I can download the 5.6 OTA update, got that, but the rom isn't going anywhere right now.

Guess I'll have to wait.

Cheers :good:
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] MickieH:
I found this link, by Googling it --> Link deleted as no good, use official download link by OP on page 1

Seems to be the link for 5.6.

I'm downloading it now. Not sure if it's the base 5.0 and the 5.6 updater, or what yet, but thought you might like to have the link as Mega is still UN Mega lol

EDIT -

The download was about a gig, and upon inspection looks fine, but I can't get my phone into CWM to flash it.

I did try with TWRP but it didn't work. Got all the way through the Aroma installer, but when I pressed flash, it said straight away that it was installed. It obviously wasn't, and got boot loop even after flashing the .757 stripped ftf just to be sure.

I've just reflashed the .534 ftf again, so back where I started,
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] abbychauhan:
It might be a test build.. [MENTION=4485973]xXWeresXx[/MENTION] can u plz conform the ROM in the link is working??
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] MickieH:
Maybe, but the Aroma installer just said it was finished as soon as I pressed flash. It didn't give any errors.

Usually it would take some time to push the new software to the system, but in this case it didn't.

I knew before I rebooted that it wasn't going to work.

I did read in the OP to use CWM to install but I couldn't get into it.

I asked on the Z1 recovery thread as the NDR Utils app wouldn't work properly, and it seems it may not be compatible with 4.2.2.

I was running the 534 firmware, so I'm thinking that I'll install a pre rooted 757 kitkat first, then try installing again, hopefully from CWM and see if it will work that way.

When it bootlooped I just pressed power and up until it vibrated three times and turned off.

Powered up Flashtool, and waited for the prompt to the connect. It recognised the phone in flash mode, so all was good.

Had to reinstall Z1 dual recovery afterwards again.

I'll suss it out, eventually lol

I think the download is genuine, it's on the OP's page. I even rummaged through the zip before trying to flash, and it looks like it's all there.

Hopefully the OP will come along and shed some light.

Hi Halley,

Can you still get into the recovery that comes with the kernel? Pressing vol up or down when first turns on?

If you can, perhaps you could wipe and re-install something you know works?

Someone who knows more in this area should be able to help.

Let me know how you're doing.
