But as looking at last year with L - we never got a port. So I doubt we'll get something.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antoyn:
Last year whenever someone ask for a port of the preview version of L, almost all developers indicated it was meaningless to make such a port. I think this year will be the same

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wulsic:
I don't see the reason to spend alot of time to get core functions to work if it will get updated and opensourced soon anyway. Q3 isn't far away so some people just have to be patient or switch over to the Nexus series. As they also said in the keynote, they made alot of changes in the core functions etc so I just don't see the point of porting it.

As an old Nexus user I can say that developer previews are what they are called, previews so they contain really bugs which will make your daily life miserable at some points of executing simple tasks on your phone.

I also notice now that XDA layout is updated again... I just don't see the point of what they did to the OP, just makes it more unclear.

I tried to CID unlock and the following was the result. Not sure if it was done successfully or not.

Anyways I went ahead and tried to upgrade using 5._Underground_edition_Crossbow_ROM.

This started and reached 96%. At that point I got a communication error after about 2-3 mins.

Result - stuck in bootloader mode. I then went back and put back the Wizard Love Rom.

Tried the WM6Titanium_Version2 Rom, went 100%, but Wizard Love Rom booted back up. If I am not mistaken this would mean that its still CID locked.

I am unable to download the shell tool to try that unlocking method.

Whoah whoah whoa... Let me make sure I got this straight... You... have a Z1S (Not a Z1, but Z1S) and you actually managed to root it on lollipop AND unlock the bootloader?!!!?!... Please tell me you are not joking. Or am I just not understanding correctly...

THE BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED?!!!?! If you did that... that is amazing. Do you know how long people have been trying to unlock the bootloader for this dam thing? But.. before I jump to conclusions. I'll wait for your reply.

i've unlocked that bootloader, install RockZ1L kernel, so i tried to install DstrikerZ1kaiRom

when it's ask me what's my model of my phone i choose 6902...it's flashed and boot to system too slowly at first time, after that it's had to shutdown...it take very long time and has been loop boot, i trying to take it's back to .236 stock rom now

[Xperia Z1 General] joedeveloper:
That is the reason why the bootloader is locked. It might say you have unlocked the bootloader but you really haven't. It's still locked hence the inability to flash a custom ROM. I would suggest against anyone trying flashtool to unlock the bootloader, it will not work.

Best to get root, recovery and xposed if it works.

[MENTION=1917673]joedeveloper[/MENTION] I'm currently on 4.4.4, rooted with baseband .59, but noticed by your directions with "prfcreator" that you do not have us "check" modem when building the flashable zip. Would it hurt to include the modem so as to get the updated baseband to .69?

Also being deodexed, will that cause issues?

Thanks for the help
[Xperia Z1 General] Yazuken1:
Not to distract from joedevelopers hard work, but I think its important for me to inform you guys that if you have already upgraded to lollipop through sony pc companion, or ota, King root does in fact work just fine. It will give a screen saying that it could not find that xperia z1s is rootable, but it will also give an option to try to root anyway. After pressing it, it will tell you the device was sucessfully rooted. And if you check with root verifier it will let you know root was successful. So you're still good if you upgraded to lollipop.
[Xperia Z1 General] rfunderburk39:
[MENTION=1917673]joedeveloper[/MENTION] Settings>About Phone reports baseband .69 after update, so that answers that.

I went back to tft .37 and did a fresh install so I have no information if one with a deodexed phone will be effected.

[Xperia Z1 General] joedeveloper:
This is what I'm referring to as the issue with sony ric being enabled. It's sony's way of preventing you from writing to the system, and most root apps need this. If you were to run:

adb shell

then

su

then

mount -o remount,rw /system

What does it tell you? "Denied"?

In order to prevent sony ric from blocking it, try installing NUT's xzdualrecovery version 2.8.15. Z1-lockeddualrecovery2.8.15-RELEASE.installer.zip

It has a built in ric killer and will solve your issues.

Do you really need to quote the whole OP for that? Wow!

4.X.X is 'Kitkat', and 5.X.X is 'Lollipop' -includes 5.0, 5.0.2 and 5.1.1. And no, this isn't meant to work with your phone, because you are already on 5.0.2 Lollipop. It clearly states in the OP: THIS WILL

ONLY WORK IF YOU ARE STILL ON KITKAT

Don't know if I'm going to get help here (yeah yeah, wrong section, I GET IT. I just figure maybe some people HERE will know :) ) but here goes! Updated my phone from 4.3 to 5.0.2 successfully, also rooted with kingroot successfully. Just a bit miffed that Bluetooth is broken. Device won't detect other androids, and other androids can't detect it. My main device is on 5.1 on Bluetooth works fine (a Huawei), so I know the issue lies with my Sony's Lolli version. Did any of you have this issue? OTG is a workaround for now, but a little disappointing to say the least, especially for the fact that I can't just switch a custom ROM into it and solve that problem. ;P

Flashtool 0.9.19.10 update

please would you add updated instructions for new flashtool, it's a little different such as missing toggle for baseband. Thank you.
[Xperia Z1 General] zombunny:
Back because I have a new problem. Phone decided to bootloop itself. I'm really hating 5.0.

How on earth do I get the damn stock ROM flashed back in when Command can't see the device, and I apparently can't use flashtool because of the locked bootloader (to my understanding)??? I will never buy another carrier device after this, this phone has given me more problems than it deserves, but I don't have the funds to go out and get a decent phone like a Nexus.
[Xperia Z1 General] motorazrv3:
Flashtool isn't limited to a locked or unlocked bootloader. You can use it with both.

If you downloaded flashtool, you only have to be sure that the drivers are installed correctly. Than all should work.
[Xperia Z1 General] zombunny:
Really? I kept seeing people mentioning an unlocked bootloader is needed (unless I misunderstood). Thank you for that, at least I'm feeling a little less at a loss with this device. An error saying "no loader found" halted my progress, and seeing 'loader' confirmed my misinformed thoughts that my locked boot-loader was preventing me from using flashtool correctly.

So in theory, this should work to flash a stock ftf and get the device running again, regardless of the bootloader being locked? While searching XDA, I saw on another thread a user had a similar problem with a different phone... bootlooping, locked bootloader, etc. The replies basically were saying the phone was too far gone, time to send it to the factory or get a new one. That was definitely discouraging to read.
[Xperia Z1 General] OmegaRED^:
So unlocking the bootloader is impossible on 5.1.1?
[Xperia Z1 General] zombunny:
It's not because of 5.1.1., its because it's the c6916 variant. T-Mobile had it locked up tight, Sony themselves don't care if you unlock your bootloader on other devices, but T-Mobile prevents it on the z1s. Hence why I'm fed up with carrier phones. :(
[Xperia Z1 General] motorazrv3:
Yes really. I am pretty sure flashtool works on both.

To make things clear, we are talking about androxydes Xperia flashtool, not Sonys official flashtool!?

As far as I know sonys released flashtool works only on unlocked bootloader. But I always used androxydes flashtool and not sonys.

You can download androxydes flashtool, search and download a firmware for your phone, make a ftf and than flash the firmware on your phone.
[Xperia Z1 General] zombunny:
AH! That would be the problem, most likely. I believe I am using Sony's (I'm not at my laptop right now, but that sounds right). Thanks so much for your help :D
[Xperia Z1 General] motorazrv3:
The error you are getting could be many reasons. Not your bootloader itself. Maybe a file that is needed and missing in your firmware file. Some stock roms contain a loader.sin file, maybe that's why you are getting the error.

You were correct about the loader.sin file, it was missing from the Lollipop ftf I had and must've been the cause of the error.

Since I'm very much a novice at this, am I correct that, according to info here, the Z1s with 5.0.2 is impossible to root and flash to? I was really hoping to get at least Marshmallow on mine, since Sony isn't updating it further.
[Xperia Z1 General] zeron824:
I don't think it is possible for us to get Marshmallow honestly. I was looking into that too, but it just seems impossible.

Also, I can use my data, call, and text but whenever I do "*06#", it gives me the MMI invalid message? Is there any way to fix this? I mean, I can use my phone just fine. I just want to make sure that I don't end up with some weird fines or anything done the road. Also, whenever I restart my phone, it works fine for a bit (shows my carrier) then the whole screen turns black but whenever I try to turn it off, the "Power Off, Restart" options come up. If I wait, the black screen goes away and then my carrier says No Service but I can still make calls, texts, and use my data service. Any fix for this?

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] jniemeyer:
Hey All-

I'd appreciate any help anyone can offer. I am having problems updating to any of the WM6 ROMs out there (up here). One of a few things is happening:

1) Either RUU crashes just after it successfully sends my PDA in to bootloader mode, or

2) RUU is able to stay up, but for some reason, does not like the update file:

I either get an error: "This NBF file cannot be used for your PDA Phone. Please get a newer NBF file.", or

it suggests the nbf file is "corrupted", I think indicating the RUU util I am running is out of synch with what the PDA is expecting.

I'm using a T-Mobile MDA (Vario?) and Vista.

I've tried all of the solutions I have been able to find:

* changing the driver to HTC USB Sync so that it can "reconnect" once in bootloader

* various flavors of the update utility to get around the crash, which do not let me upgrade to the ROM of choice!

* hard reset of the device

* I even tried pulling down one of the ROM upgrades from the T-Mobile dowloads site and dropping that in with a WM6 ROM nbf file. That was a huge flop.

I know people have done this! I've seen it over and over again. So what in the world stupid thing am I doing to not make this work?

Thanks.
