For apps you don't want, you can remove them after you successfully install the ROM. You can use Root Uninstaller or Titanium Backup to remove those app.

For wiping, you can wipe everything you want. It depends on how you want. :)

I see and I'm glad you can find JB LockNow instead.. :good:

Good idea! But is it your work? If so, I can add yours to my thread as you asked me to add. :)

As i noticed, the sound quality slightly improves... better than the 242... and great feedback! :good:
[Xperia Z1 General] Dadovvv:
Yes its my works, and my link. Tnx bro.
[Xperia Z1 General] Ratha ITC:
Added! Check post #1 and #2. :)
[Xperia Z1 General] djg269:
[MENTION=5191250]Ratha ITC[/MENTION] Thnx man, been using your. 242 rom and didnt doubt to flash this one. The full flashable zip is the best.

Wiped cache/dalvik and flashed it right over .242.

For those who are using Xposed, dont forget to flash xposed-sdk21-arm-20150430.zip again after flashing the update. Otherwise Xposed wont work.
[Xperia Z1 General] mnsk:
Thanks for the files. Is there any downside you think for using method 2?

Also it would be great if you could provide deodexed files. :)
[Xperia Z1 General] kalios:
just to report.successfully flashed using method 2 over .242 firmware.i just wipe cache/dalvik cache.thanks for ur work [MENTION=5191250]Ratha ITC[/MENTION]
[Xperia Z1 General] angvil:
I thought this is deodexed already cause I can't find odex files. I used method 2
[Xperia Z1 General] kedirakevo:
Does anyone knows how to remove annoying notification popups? I've been scouring google since yesterday but nothing works...

First time on lollipop so yea... and battery drain is kinda bad. Feels like a downgrade than an upgrade...
[Xperia Z1 General] angvil:
What kind of notification pop ups
[Xperia Z1 General] Ratha ITC:
:good: :D

Stock ROM is Odex. The .odex files are store under the separated folder. :)

You're welcome! :D

:good:

What popups have annoyed you? :confused: Did you upgrade from Kitkat with full wipe? I recommend full wipe or clean install if you update from Kitkat.
[Xperia Z1 General] kedirakevo:
whatsapp, facebook, facebook messenger, Line....

Last time they used to appear just top of the notification bar in kitkat, now they popup at the top of the bar...

Yes full wipe is done already.
[Xperia Z1 General] kalios:
well that's the lollipop for u :)
[Xperia Z1 General] anakdayak:
Hi OP tnx again...just need to clarify after flash the pre root 270 and boot up successfully I did a factory data reset under setting will I loose root and recovery?
[Xperia Z1 General] kalios:
nope u wont lose root & recovery,since i flashed over pre-rooted .242 LP just wipe cache/dalvik cache
[Xperia Z1 General] anakdayak:
Mate I like everything clean install.Firstly I downgrade to 4.4 then root and install recovery.Next I flash the pre root 270 and after successfully boot up I did data factory reset under the setting and then set up as per normal.Will this am I loosing root and recovery?
[Xperia Z1 General] kalios:
wow u dont need to do that mate,since its not major update
[Xperia Z1 General] Ratha ITC:
For notification, there are a few settings that let you customize. Just go to Setting > (Device) Sound & notification > (Notification) ...

I think it's somehow helpful for you. :D

Hi [MENTION=5054635]anakdayak[/MENTION] ! You don't need to start from Kitkat if you want a total clean install. Just use the method 1 with Light FTF and no need to do factory reset.. . We're the same! I like clean too. :laugh:

Edit: Beside method 1 with Light, there're also some other ways that lead you to the clean install... like method 2 + full wipe, method 1 + super light + full wipe, ...
[Xperia Z1 General] anakdayak:
Ok OP tnx for the clarification.Btw I prefer to use method 1.Yes whenever any new firmware roll out I like to do a clean install,once again tnx for all ur hard works.
[Xperia Z1 General] Ratha ITC:
You're welcome! :)
[Xperia Z1 General] cashflow67:
In method 2, I wiped everything(system,data,dalvik cache,cache,internal storage), then I flashed full.zip and it works like a charm :D

Thanks, can someone tell me whats the difference between this version and the one from OP?
[Xperia Z1 General] Ratha ITC:
You can use either mine or his. If you phone is Customized CE3, you'd better use his. :)
[Xperia Z1 General] djg269:
Flashed his and for some reason i cant understand, Xposed didnt worked and even flashing the sdk arm file didnt help.

Flashed yours and everything is fine and xposed is working again.
[Xperia Z1 General] Ratha ITC:
It must be recovery problem of his ROM. Thanks your report. :D

Wipe cache & dalvik cache / Full wipe (Your choice!)

Does it mean, that I can flash without losing any data or apps by not doing full wipe?
[Xperia Z1 General] Ratha ITC:
Yes! Just wipe cache & dalvik cache if you want to keep your apps & data. :)
[Xperia Z1 General] ferbuffer:
The problem is I'm on lollipop and I'm not rooted

And i don't know how to root it without losing any data.

I'm using kingroot now and it seems rooted but i might brick my phone if im not using supersu
[Xperia Z1 General] Ratha ITC:
If bootloader is unlocked, you can use custom kernel with recovery. It's the easiest way without going back to kitkat.

If it is locked and want to keep lock, there is no other way besides my guide in this thread.

sorry for my bad english language.

[Xperia Z1 General] Giozer:
I have two questions:

1) In your ROM Xposed is preinstalled? He works without problems?

2) Your ROM customized SG (Singapore I think) works well in Italy?

Thank you.
[Xperia Z1 General] Ratha ITC:
Did you use PhilZ Touch Recovery? This is the problem of PhilZ Touch.

To fix this problem, download the C690X_14.5.A.0.270_Customized_SG_Light.ftf and flash it with Flashtool.

Note: your internal will be wiped all.

:)

You've asked me once already [MENTION=4593105]Giozer[/MENTION] . Click here! :)
[Xperia Z1 General] v-mix:
Yes I did

OK, I'll download the tft tomorrow then flash it.

I'm asking specifically if anyone with a LB have tried Method 2 because I've never tried to flash through recovery without needing to flash a separate ftf before.
[Xperia Z1 General] Ratha ITC:
There's nothing different between Indian and Singapore (SG) ROM. :D

:good::laugh:

Yes [MENTION=3397222]ccelis[/MENTION] ! Both methods work for both locked or unlocked. ;)
[Xperia Z1 General] cjey:
Hi,

I upgraded my C6902 from .242 to .270 last 2 days back. Used 1st method and flashed super light.ftf. Everything is running fine and smooth but i am start getting complaint from another side of call that your sound coming through your phone is crackling. I have tested myself and found distorted sound coming from my phone.

Please help. I am only getting this problem or may be another too?

Regards,

[Xperia Z1 General] Ratha ITC:
Hi [MENTION=1879302]cjey[/MENTION] ! I have no such problem. I think you should download the Super Light FTF and flash it again.

Can i simply just flash ftf only or do the entire process from beginning?

[Xperia Z1 General] timberwolf60:
sdFix was worked for lolopop, I was using it since I updated to lolipop on my Z1.
[Xperia Z1 General] Ratha ITC:
If you still can't find any solution, I recommend backup your apps & data, download the the Light FTF of method 1, and flash it with Flashtool. I'm sure it 100% fixes your problem.

Just flash only the FTF. No need to do all steps. :)
[Xperia Z1 General] wired69:
I have the same issue with Internal Storage. I initially flashed Full_C6903_Flashable_14.5.A.0.270_SG_XZR2815.zip using TWRP after a full wipe of everything (except SD). Just tried using Flashtool to flash C6903_14.5.A.0.270_Customized_SG_Light.ftf in flashmode and still have the same problem, on the phone Internal Storage doesn't appear to be mounted but I can view the files from my PC when connected via USB.

Anything else I can try? Note: I unselected all wipe options from Flashtool (APPSLOG, CACHE, DATA), would keeping these checked help?
[Xperia Z1 General] Ratha ITC:
You should not have touched any settings in Flashtool. Leave it as it is. Just select the FTF and flash it.
[Xperia Z1 General] wired69:
Thanks, that worked, I now have full access to Internal Storage.

For those who are using dual recovery to flash the flashable zip, be sure to use TWRP and not PhilZ Touch

Instructions below. Kindly sticky this to the installation guide. Thanks

_________________________________________________

=[XZDualRecovery]=-

PhilZ Touch 6.59.0 & CWM 6.0.5.0 & TWRP 2.8.6.0

At boot, once you feel the phone vibrate and while you see the green led burn:

- press VOL-UP for PhilZ Touch;

- press VOL-DOWN for TWRP.

---------- Post added at 05:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:05 PM ----------

I'd like to thank the maker of this thread for the flashable zip and for not erasing the data files.
[Xperia Z1 General] timberwolf60:
I used philz recovery within xzdualrecovery to flash the full 270.zip without problems till now.
[Xperia Z1 General] doomtrain85:
Just to confirm, method 2 i will still maintaining my data right ?
[Xperia Z1 General] shinobi1201:
Hi, I pre-rooted using method 1.

Anyway that I can temporarily unroot as I need to claim battery warranty for the phone?
[Xperia Z1 General] Ratha ITC:
Either method 1 or 2. Read the instruction carefully.

Note: for method 2, just wipe cache and dalvek cache if you want to keep your app and data.

I don't think rooting affects the battery life... if you want to fully unroot your Z1, download the original FTF and flash it with flashool, or simply use Repair tool of PCC.
[Xperia Z1 General] sayatsugu:
Hi OP,

I am currently on this firmware and it has been working really well (before I did something funny to it XD).

I just have some questions that I would to ask regarding flashing your packages (if you don't mind)

Right now I am encountering some issues with my Contacts having the error "unfortunately Contacts has stopped" which I think might have been attributed to some system packages that I have uninstalled (Google+?) and I want to reflash just the ROM portion without redoing the entire process again.

Can I just flash the package mentioned in method 1 and that's it ? (Wiping cache+dalcache)

Thank you.
[Xperia Z1 General] Ratha ITC:
Hi! No need to go through all the processes. You can just install only the Zip of method 1 with cache and dalvik cache wiping.
[Xperia Z1 General] blackfieldmono:
Dear Ratha ITC

Mine is C6903 using your ROM 242 SG pre-rooted

If i use method 2 with PhilZ Touch the device can not start, it's not bootloop but it can not finish boot. (Android updating.....)

method 2 with TWRP it ok, but can not turn on the wifi.

I don't know why. I tried wipe cache and davik. Restore to 4.4.4 then reflash using method 2 but got the same problems.

Then i wiped cache and davik restored to 242, go to recovery wiped cache and davik then flash using method 2 but still the same problems :))

Should i try to wipe all or maybe i should try method 1 now.

I tried Method 1 and it done well.

Thanks

First off a Big thanks to Dadovvv :D for his "Flashable 270 for C6903 Central Europe Customized" Included and also a big thanks to Ratha ITC for putting this thread togeather.

After a stressfull morning trying to get "The Single Flashable 270 for C6903 Central Europe Customized CE3" SuperSU & XZDualRecoveryy Included" to work I finaly found out what I was doing wrong lol

I was trying to go from "C6903_14.1.G.1.534_NUT.ftf" as this phone was boot stalled and had a unlocked bootloader which can not be relocked due to someone else's handy work ( secondhand phone :mad: ) I used the C6903_14.1.G.1.534_NUT.ftf to reflash and solve the boot stall problem.

I finaly found out you can not go from "C6903_14.1.G.2.257 (Jelly Bean)" to "270 for C6903 Central Europe Customized" and I needed to flash "C6903_14.3.A.0.681" (KitKat) so I used "Z1-lockeddualrecovery2.8.12-RELEASE.installer" to install recovery and then installed C6903_14.3.A.0.681, Then I was able to get Dadovvv's "Flashable 270 for C6903 Central Europe Customized" to work, the phone is now 100% working and rooted.

If any one else has the problem I had try doing what I did and all should be good

P.S if like me you tried to use http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php... Update to 14.3.A.0.681 Root & XZDR UPDATED and found the links dead as nut has stopped hosting them, I mange to find them via a google search, you might find these links of some use :cool:

Hello,

I'm having problem after flashing with the second method. After finishing the flash and click reboot the system from recovery menu, my phone wont turn on (its just vibrate, no bootlogo). My phone previously was stock rooted 4.2.2 with latest TWRP recovery and with 64 % battery. Anyone know how to solve this ?

Thank you.
[Xperia Z1 General] Ratha ITC:
You can't upgrade from 4.2.2 with my ROM. Read the requirement section.

By the way I've seen some other ways rooting Z1 here on XDA. You can upgrade to Lollipop 270 by using PCC or flashing any 270 ftf, and use KingRoot for rooting your Z1...
[Xperia Z1 General] shinobi1201:

Help....I'm in trouble.

I want a boot.img file.

This is what happened:::

I forgot to take a backup of the stock Recovery (boot file) and flashed a different boot.img using fastboot. And then my Stock ROM wont boot i.e. its in bootloop...all i can do is go to recovery. So i took a nandroid backup, and then changed the ROM, and then found out that all the ROM's gives less battery backup than stock Sony ROM, so i wanted to turn back to stock, but the problem is the boot file that got restored is the one that i changed at starting. So it back to boot looping again. For now its power is off.

Now i need a boot.img file to flash.

Please provide me with the stock Sony boot.img file or and other boot file that supports stock ROM.

My current Stock ROM version is 4.5.A.0.270.

Need immediately.
[Xperia Z1 General] twinkle2K:

The problem solved?

Make sure that your phone meet the requirements.

SONY doesn't release .283 globally, so I don't make .283...

v2.8.20 is not working well for Z1. Do not try it on your Z1. If you wish to update superSu, just flash it via Recovery.

I just want to clarify something about "Method 1: The PC Needed".

I have a Z1 C6903 running stock 14.5.A.270 (5.0.2). To install recovery, means you already have root. So since my phone is stock, how can I follow Step #1? Do I downgrade to 4.4.4, root it and install Recovery? Is that what Step #1 means Install Recovery via PC if your phone doesn't have?
