You're welcome! I'm glad to hear that! :D

You're right! Customized SG is for Singapore. I'm not sure what SONY exactly customizes for different areas... maybe just embedded apps or services (or what else? I need someone who knows clearly to help me to answer this question too). What I know, C6902 can use other C6902 ROM with no problem. C6903 can use other C6903 ROM with no problem too.

About my both ftf,

Did you flash the .157 kernel after rooting and installing recovery? Make sure that you flash the .157 after recovery installation. Then reboot your phone. Now start the installation in the post #1. Read it carefully! Wipe (cache and dalvik cache only) state is before the .zip installation. No need to wipe again after that. Power off your phone and flash the ftf you prefer. Now it's time to power on your phone.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TONYBOY_16:
Thanks for the reply. Yes I Flashed the 157 back in after rooting and adding Cwm.

I have tried it many times but just get bootloop very annoying.

Guess I'll have to wait for an easy tool or whatever before upgrading

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ratha ITC:
Did you verify all the download files? No error? Also when installing the .zip and flashing the .ftf, no error too? And what recovery and which version of recovery did you use before you installing the .zip?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TONYBOY_16:
I didn't verify anything but nothing failed. All flashes and ftf went through fine.

How do I verify the files?

I was using the latest nfc tools or whatever is called but using the Cwm option, but again there were no errors during the flash. Root and Cwm both work as expected on 4.4.4.

If I try again should I do a test on my phone before flashing?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ratha ITC:
You can use Hash Droid to check the file. But your downloaded files should be OK because you can install and flash without any problem... but what Recovery? Do you use XZDualRecovery? And which version you use for your 4.4.4? I recommend XZDualRecovery 2.8.3.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TONYBOY_16:
OK so as i am writing i have the blue background with wavy lines going which is the furthest its got yet so im hoping it boots. What i had to do was flash the first file, then i flashed the light, (bootloop) then i flashed the first file again through the recovery..... my question now is this.... if it works, what does the second file (light) do to the original flash of the file? is it necessary or does it just tidy things up or what?

thanks,

tony.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ratha ITC:
I'm sorry to hear that. Just flash the Super Light ftf again and let me know if this can help you. :)

---------- Post added at 11:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:35 AM ----------

The first .zip contains only System. And the .ftf contains kernel, boot, loader, and other drivers, so you need install the .zip via Recovery and the .ftf via your PC.

How to install xposed on rooted 5.0.2.

OK I think OP has already commented on this but I have installed Xposed 3.0 alpha release and it works perfectly as do the modules that are compatible with LP....

From here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3034811 download the ZIP file and the APK at the bottom of the first post. The boot into recovery and flash the ZIP file, then reboot and install the APK as you normally would.

If all goes well then Xposed is installed. You will still get the 'only able to install manually' message inside Xposed app but it should still show the version numbers as it has already been installed manually (by flashing the ZIP).

---------- Post added at 16:50 ---------- Previous post was at 16:46 ----------

OK So if you read up the thread you will see i had big problems getting this to work. for some reason i was constantly getting a bootloop after flashing the file and flashing the ftf through flashtool.

I got to the end of my tether and decided to just mess around and see if i could get it to work. Here is what solved it for me... ONLY IF YOU ARE BOOTLOOPING OTHERWISE THE ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS ARE GOOD>>>>

1. Make sure you have 4.4.4 rooted and with recovery.

2. Download the flashable zip and the ftf either light or superlight in the OP.

3. Flash the zip via recovery.

4. turn off phone and flash the ftf through flashtool.

5. IF IT BOOT LOOPS> wait for the phone to turn itself off and as soon as it does start rocking the volume up and down buttons alternatively until it boots into the recovery.

6. Flash the zip again.

7. IF ITS STILL LOOPING> Flash the ftf again.

8. Keep flashing them if it still doesnt work. I had to flash them 3 times and each time the boot loaded up a bit further than before.

I have no idea why this was needed or what caused the problem in the first place, but doing that fixed it. Im now 5.0.2 rooted and with recovery.

Hope this helps someone.
