[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Niidikene:
Thank You for helping me :) In one moment I thought that maybe it's caused by high sensitivity, because at this time when I had a problem again I could scroll down without touching the screen, but holding my finger close to the screen.

Perhaps it is due to a little dirty screen.

Maybe I should install a protective screen protector?

Best Wishes

System/framework file of lollipop

I accidently deleted some files from this folder. Now my Google plus app is missing. When i try to download from play store it shows 505 error.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuzibri:
Hi,

I own the Z1 now for more than 2 years and use no screen protector (always have the Z1 on my desk or in my belt protection case and still no scratch at all. So, you do not need a screen protector. However, maintaining your screen by regular cleaning it, will keep it, sensitivity wise, in top condition. It's my experience that, whenever my screen is very dirty, it reacts slowly than normal. After cleaning, it reacts normal again. To prevent your screen from becoming very dirty, there are now a lot of normal pencils available with on the top of it a kind of rubbery tip which allows you to use it on your device instead of your "greasy" fingers. . These pencils are very good, sensitivity wise. Maybe a good idea to try out!

did i bricked it?

Hi, I was about to install myself a new rom and I probably badly cocked up.

well to make it short, I was following instructions here wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_honami

and it went good, till I misunderstood one thing, that i need to get phone in fastboot and then navigate in PC cmd to boot.img, well I did, but I was so stupid (I realized moment later) that I had separated the boot.img file from rest of the stuff in cyanogenmod folder. And I booted it wia fastboot and rebooted my phone....

well... red light started and that was it...I have been waiting some time if something will happen but nothing.

then tried to start it, reset it, nothing helped...all the phone does is only the red led will start if I hold power and vol + and if I hold power and vol +- it vibrates once, and after moment it vibrates three times.

my phone is xperia Z1 as you can see from cyanogenmod wiki page -honami

so my question is simple... is there any way to fix this?

Iam rly disapointed it can be broken so easily just by one tim booting wrong file? I dont believe there is no way how to save it... but my PC doesnt recognize the device anymore so I cant fix it or dont know how...

pls help

----

I did backed up my TA if that helps somehow...
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] motorazrv3:
What do you mean with "it went good"? I don't understand clearly what you did to your phone.

The wiki says clearly what to do and there aren't many steps.

1. Is your bootloader unlocked?

2. You have to unzip the boot.img from the downloaded zip because you need a custom recovery to install cm on your phone.

3. If your bootloader is unlocked, Fastboot drivers installed correctly and you used the correct command to flash the new kernel with the custom recovery integrated to your phone all should be fine.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smile04:
Iam sorry to say this, but this is more than unhelpfull, not even close.

I will describe it more detailed but from what I had written is clear that I did all in manual to the step, where I did fastboot and booted the boot.img file...it went good...but as I said, === I booted the file only === bcs in manual was to unzip the file and not all folder and I think this is what I did wrong...and after this my phone is look like its bricked - doesnt react to computer usb connection, and does not start up... only red led turns up when i hold power and volume up.

so yes i did root the phone, unlocked bootloader, fastbooted boot.ini.... and all colapsed here...
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] motorazrv3:
If you followed the procedure from the wiki, than your phone should still be fine.

You say you booted the kernel (boot.img) but the wiki doesn't say to do it.

I don't know if you maybe mean that you temporary booted the kernel. But that needs a total other fastboot command than the one mentioned in the wiki.

I hope you know what the fastboot command from the wiki means and does.

It doesn't boot the kernel, it flashes the kernel to the boot partition of your phone. That is a totally other thing than booting.

And I hope you took the boot.img file and no other. What boot.ini are you talking about.

When you entered the command on your computer was there any message you where getting?

It takes pictures from what'sapp and another apps but the normal camera app says that unfortunately the camera has stopped

Please help!!
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLordxX:
Hi,

I believe you should try flashing the ROM again, or at least flash the mod again, or find a way to reinstall the stock camera back to the default settings without pexocam.

Hi,

Feels more like a hardware problem than a software problem to me, however if you want to be sure it's not a software issue, you could fresh flash stock ROM again.

All the best,

I was thinking of buying a z1 and was wondering how the battery life and performance is? Which version of android works best on the z1?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kchrpm:
My phone needs to be factory reset ("NFC service has stopped" immediately pops up at start and when dismissed, and the rest of the UI doesn't properly load; even in safe mode). I cannot get to the software menu to factory reset it. The button combinations I've seen online (hold down the red reset button, hold power and volume up, hold power and both volume buttons).

The phone is completely stock, no root or custom ROMs or anything like that, just OTA updates from Google/Sony/T-Mobile.

The next suggestion I've seen is to hook it up to my computer and use ADB, but I have a Chromebook only. Suggestions? Other than borrowing a Windows computer (which is indeed an option).

I've read everything I possibly can about this common issue. My phone charged overnight, I sent a few texts, checked email etc in the morning and suddenly it shut off and would not turn on. I tried holding power & volume up, holding power & volume down, holding power & volume up/down together, removing & reinserting the Sim card, etc - no vibration or sign of life AT ALL. When plugged in the led stays constant red - even after two hours of constant charging. When plugged in to my PC, my PC does not recognize that my phone is plugged in at all.

Is this a used Z1 device and if yes, how old is it? I ask this cause your problem seems to be a dead battery. If it's new, just send it back and use your warranty, if not, I'm afraid you buyed a device which already had battery problems.

Xperia Z1 - Model C9603 4G (32gb)

I bought this phone last week.

I'm having a sony z1 with a global model (c9603) but the android only at kitkat 4.4.2.

it's weird because when i tried to update it via Xperia Companion, it shows my model is "SO-01F" and already up to date.

After that i googled this phone GSMarena and the global version (c9603) only got 16gb, and also have a lollipop. :confused:

But, when i try to search for an update device in the Support Sony Mobile page using my IMEI number, its show already up to date and also says something like "f you accept OS version up, your au Smart Phone’ s Android™ version is changed to 4.4."

and i don't have it atleast for now (my brother borrowed it).

Please help me , i just want to know what is the "Real/Original" model number, and why its 32gb its not even a Carriered Variant, and the main thing is I just want to update it to lollipop, (or even custom rom if its real global version).

p/s: sorry for my bad english , i'm malaysian.

Baseband Unknown Issue

Hi Experts,

I have searched the forum and after flashing for three sleepless nights, I am still struck with the unknown baseband issue.

The details are:

C6903

BL Unlocked & now its locked using Flashtool (DRM or TA backup is unavailable )

Currently the phone is struck in boot loop in .534

Used Flashtool ver. 0.9.22.3 & 0.9.18.6

Latest EMMA & Xperia Companion

My phone hanged when listening to the music and when I force restarted the unknown baseband showed up. While flashing I got the baseband back after flashing .518 however it hanged again after two days and I lost the BB

Now I am struck in boot loops on .534 and .518 both. I can boot into .290 successfully. Can someone please guide me to the correct method of restoring my IMEI permanently.

P.S. As per my short experience with C6903, I believe something stops the boot of .534 and .518 after first boot. Means I was not able to boot into .534 but accidentally when I flashed .518, my phone booted successfully. However now I am unable to boot into .518. May be I am missing the piece of puzzle that an expert can provide.

Thanks in advance~

Hi! My battery died and I sent my phone away for a replacement. When I got it back, I experienced that the battery was drained really fast, like 60% in 5 hours normal use. Have I been duped, meaning, that they put a replacement battery in my phone instead of an original, or could it be a hardware issue? When I straight up asked the repair shop guy, he tried to blame it on my phone? I've never had any problems with my z1, it's in perfect condition.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuzibri:
Hi, if I were you, I would ask a second opinion from another service department. It's very strange that a new battery drains so fast. This means indeed that it's nor an original Sony battery or that something is wrong with the connections, certainly when it's not original. On the other hand, it might be indeed a hardware issue causing the death of your battery. So, all in all a second opinion is needed IMHO,
