I am not sure but it seems that there is some kind of trap. I now have my 3rd Z1 and two of the died while flashing custom roms. Not because of the custom roms but i there is an issue with the battery. The last phone i got is about 2 days old and was completely charged. What i did was :

Backup-TA-9.10 (successful)

Flash C6903_14.1.G.1.534_Generic DK 1276-1249-R5A.ftf using flashtool. (successful)

Using VRoot to Root the device. (successful)

installing Z1-lockeddualrecovery2.7.123-BETA.installer (successful)

Entering Recovery -> making a Backup.

Wipe cache / Data -> Factory reset.

Flashing

TrinityUltimateKernel-V2.5-(X)

trinity-vengeance-raptorx (ended with error no 7)

wiped dalvic cache and rebooted

Bootloop....

entered recovery system

wiped all again installed all again in the same way and the installation finished without errors...

Started the Phone and everything worked but the modem could not connetc to the Provider.

so i flashed all again (to be sure to have checked 6903 (i was sure before but maybe it helps)) but

it didn't fix the error.

SO I went to the recovery system again (battery @ 45%)

and wiped all again .. and flashed [STOCK][C6903][4.4.4]14.4.A.0.133.zip

After this : darkness, nothing, no reaction. Even the red Button didn't do anything. (and i thought to me .. not again the battery dead!!)

So i put the damn thing on the charger for 24 hours and you know what . A blinking red light of death. Which means the Battery is dead.

Yay.. and this is the second time. (And i am pretty sure the power was both times at least 40%)

I am starting to think this is some kind of trap for custom rom users.. ;)

[EDIT] I have read that there seems to be a huge drain of Battery when flashing. Now i have a fast blinking red light when on the charger and when connected to the pc a long red blinking light. I tryed PC Comparison (repair) but the phone is not recognized.

I have read in the sony care forum to press the power + vol up button without the phon connected and without trying to power on the phone then reconnect it to the charger and wait for 1-2 hours. (The blinking while on the charger has stopped after doing this.. now i am waiting ..

kind regards

Haha, it definitely seems like a trap after reading your post, Sony definitely has programmed the battery to punish the people for using custom roms! :D

But on a serious note, here are my two cents:

1. I am not sure if you did Unlock your boot loader - Locked bootloaders are tricky and they act weird at times.

If you didn't you should, always!

There is nothing to lose in terms of camera quality (except for front camera that will be a bit more noisy in night or dark settings) plus you'll have your backup of TA in case you don't like to lose Bravia and Xreality.

2. Whenever you downgrade to root, and flash a root-able FTF to install dual recovery, be sure to get back to the latest firmware available using the stripped FTF and flashable zip of the latest firmware - you'll have to check NUT's website for those. The process is kind of tricky, be sure to check the video guides posted in the Xperia Z1 - General Section.

As sometimes, jumping from an earlier version of firmware (4.4.2 to a latest version custom rom (4.3 / 4.4.4) ) also causes bricks. In the brickfest club there are details but I am not going to get into that.

3. When you are rooted, have dual recovery installed- don't flash Kernel from TWRP Recovery.

I just generally dislike TWRP, it has given me hard time in past. For flashing and for making nandroids, CWM works like a charm and has been more stable for me.

Once you have that, go into recovery and flash the ROM.

Again worth mentioning is, that first you flash the kernel - then REBOOT into RECOVERY - then flash the ROM. (Sometimes, some recoveries have problems opening the zips of custom roms - so for that, always install the compatible kernel and the reboot so that newly installed kernel's recovery would be used.

4. As far as battery is concerned, 40 percent is enough even though it is recommended to have over 70% while doing any kind of flashing but I have done successful flashed at less than 20% so battery can't be the cause of it as far as my knowledge suggests.

That being said, accidents happen, sometimes to the best of us, sometimes in a row.

Best of luck for the next time!
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] TommyX235:
Thanks for the tip's .. BTW my BL is unlocked.

And you are right .. i should have rebooted to recovery after flashing the kernel. Thats why Trinity worked after the second installation.

So i have the B...ch on the charger for the next 3 hours and "fingers crossed" that i can revive it. If not it is going back to customer service.. Yay.

I think i will get me another better mobile..

[MENTION=5160318]f(x)THaxxorX[/MENTION] could you help me with my issue? I wrote it in last page, but you maybe missed out. Is there a way to get into TWRP recovery instead of CWM from power menu? Thanks in advance.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] f(x)THaxxorX:
Hi, The One Created the Reboot Menu was A Developer from the Xposed Module.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] srqrox:
Yeah do so, Z1 is pain to root. - I have used HTCs and Sammys, about 3, 4 years ago - at least then the whole process on them was pretty breezy.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] bogdan wst:
You are wrong. Rooting Z1 is very easy, almost one click root (EasyRootTool, Newroot).
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] srqrox:
I maybe wrong, but then I didn't have to downgrade to an older firmware + root + backup my TA so that I may not lose my DRM keys and find my front camera getting noisey + go into recovery flash the firmware's zip + power it down + connect it to flashtool + flash a stripped ftf and then proceed to installing custom ROMS.

Samsung's devices were easiest as far as rooting and custom rom installation was concerned - my experience with an S3 is basis for this.

HTCs were a bit, just a bit complex than Samsung, but yet, much easier. - My experience with a One X, One S, One V and Desire S is basis for this assertion. Recently rooted a One (M8), it was pretty easy too not too much steps involved.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Written:
Moving over from the Galaxy Note wasn't easy, at first, rooting on this phone with those strange Chinese root tools was a real Btard. However, the latest root tools truly make it way too easy ;)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] xaverius8535:
I think rooting in xperia isn't that difficult if we use easyroot

i already use it for xperia z, z1 and z2 and it was so easy..

backup ta and flash dual recovery were not that difficult too.

i don't unlock my bootloader yet, so, i don't know how difficult it is.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] srqrox:
"Unlocking boot loader" is breezy on Sony devices, much cooler than HTCs or Samsung ftm.

It is not "just" rooting which I consider confusing, it is the whole array of steps that you have to take in order to get at that point. Plus, things like soft bricks if you jump from 4.4.2 to 4.4.3 or 4.4.4, there is quite a number of steps involved in making your phone, "flash-your-preferred-rom" ready.

I am tech savvy guy, I am not a developer obviously but I consider myself high end consumer - even then I had to think more than twice about whether I want to root my phone or not and the array of steps that were involved (maybe there aren't as many now - but they were when I did). I vividly remember being confused, and this just doesn't happen to me often.

"Unlocking" Bootloader is breezy on Sony devices, takes considerably less time than HTCs devices.

Used Samsung long ago so can't compare to that.

It is not "rooting" which I consider confusing, it is the whole array of steps that you have to take before and after in order to get at the point where you are ready to flash your preferred rom without the fear of bricks that might result from jumping from 4.4.2 to 4.4.3 or 4.4.4

I am tech savvy guy, I am not a developer obviously but I consider myself high end consumer - even then I had to think more than twice about whether I wanted to root my Z1 or not and the go through the array of steps that were involved (maybe there aren't as many now - but they were when I did - [BTW I followed SHAM's video guide]).

Unable to install this ROM via cwm.. I'm currently on cm11.. Installation sticks at starting aroma installer and cwm gets hanged..please help..
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] roykaandorp:
Try using another kernel, i thought doomkernel will work.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] srqrox:
You need to flash, Trinity Kernel first from the recovery.

Reboot, and start pressing volume up once you feel the phone vibrate -boot directly into the recovery (after flashing Trinity Kernel).

Then, install the ROM.

CWM that comes with CM11 or derivative roms are known to have trouble with Aroma.

Sadly, I'm having big problems with this one. Clean install, LB.

First thing at boot, androi.process.media, FC.

Many apps simply won't start, especially if they were installed via the installer (system). Some work after I convert them to user apps, but some continuously stop working. Opera tells me it was a bad install, then it works for a bit after reinstall, but only for a few uses.

Also, can't get some Xposed modules to work properly (Xperia Xposed).

Any help would be much appreciated.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] xaverius8535:
Maybe I am paranoid, but, when i flashed rom, i will do clean install, and checking rom's zip, sometime zip is corrupted, specially when the zip is in a large size.

Other concern is apps that already running sometimes need to be wipes completely, and i don't know which one it is.

So first, i will wipe everything, data system cache, i will rollback to factory firmware with factory ftf, excluding ta only, root it again, install dual recovery, flash rom, boot twice or more, until rom is stable. Check all apps available in this rom first.

After stable, i will restore apps one by one and freeze the unused one with titanium.

With all these steps, i never found any issue in my phone.

Of course it need more time, but with this i can get the best result.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] kingbeta:
Sounds like a bad download. Try downloading again.
