Helo guys, I flashed stock rom but after flashing imei got 00000 what can I do please any suggestion..i am on locked bootloader. :confused::confused::confused::crying::crying: it booted up but sim card not detected.may be i was on marshmellow and i downgrade to jellybean ??
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SUPERUSER:
You need to rollback modem because sony changed it in the update back then.

So by simply flashing an old rom will give you imei 0000. That's why your modem is not working.

I don't know if there is a thread here on honami on how to rollback modem.

I can't find any thread from a quick search. But there is a thread in the forum for togari.

Don't follow this guide its not for honami but you get the idea if you read the thread.

Z1 forgot lock pattern

Hey guys I found my Z1 the other day but unfortunately I forgot the lock pattern. It does not boot into recovery mode via Power + Vol Down combo. I believe it is not rooted but I am willing to root if necessary. Where can I find the info to flash the phone or remove the lock screen? Is there a step by step guide? I haven't flashed a phone since the Galaxy S2. Thank you.

Hello xda community,

I contact you because my mum's phone fall and screen broke.

She took it to a phone repair shop that changed it, but she said it was still not working.

I was away, it was few month ago but now I came back and try the Z1 and touch and screen and everything was working fine when I tried. But after like 10 min no touch.

I found the way to reboot it, and when I reboot most of the time touchscreen work again, but go away fast.

I searched and found some thread talking about software issues for touchscreen, so I tried updating to lineage, but it's doing the same, so I suspect HW failure.

This phone still seems nice to me, the battery seems to still be ok, the screen quality is good, the lineage 16 is fine so... if I can revive it, I'd be happy to do it.

Any idea what can be wrong ? Is there any component failure that could lead to that ?

Thanks guys.

Hi guys!

I've been at this for three days already and i can't seem to properly root my Z1 (stock / Lollipop / .236). My goal is to root and install magisk.

Steps i did:

Unlocked bootloader (didn't knew i could backup TA folder at the moment, sadly didn't do it).

Rooted with kingroot + script method. This "kinda" works, as i somehow managed to install TWRP recovery (i can boot into it no problems with key combination or adb reboot recovery command), but the SuperSU app constantly asks for update and fails no matter what. I tried installing magisk with twrp (which failed) and using the bootbridge method (which seemed to do it) but even though i have the app, the magisk hide setting won't stay on in settings and the magisk hide menu option won't appear.

I don't really know what else to do. I've searched long and wide doing lots of things (like installing the deodex patch and i don't even know what else), but now i'm stumped. Do i need to disable Sony's RIC? I tried following a guide here, but i'm not really sure if i'm doing it right since i keep failing. Where/how should i get the kernel? Can i get it directly from my phone? If not, how do i know what rom do i need to download?

Thanks beforehand!

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuzibri:
Does this happen too if you connect via USB?? If connecting via USB works well, than you have to check youy WiFi homenetwork. Easiest way is to remove your device from the network, thereafter go to WiFi on your device and "search new devices" and, when found, give in the key that's needed to connect your device with your homenetwork (the key comes with the router you use).

No the downgrade did not work. Phones still having the same issues. Any idea about DHCP or Static connection ? Or Should I downgrade to Kitkat ?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuzibri:
IMPO your WiFi problem has nothing to do with Lollipop or even downgrading to Kitkat. I must have something to do with your phone recognizing your router and filling in the right key to connetct to the phone with the router. This key, which comes with the router, is very case sensitive (upper/lower case mindes very much), so one typing error leads to no connection with your device.

So the past week my Z1 charges intermittently. I use the original charger at 1500 MA and the original Sony cable. It charges very slowly as if two little mA get in the phone.

Last night I left it to charge and by morning it had completely discharged giving me the 3 red Led flash when I pressed the on/off button. I disconnected and connected to the charger and 20 minutes later it revived showing 1% on the charging animation. Now it's at 53% in safe mode.

I am at 270 firmware prerooted with LB. Is it a USB socket problem, a battery problem or a charger problem?

I mean the intermittent charging. I hear it happening when it loops playing the charging sound and it goes forever like bleep-bleep-bleep-bleep until I disconnect and reconnect the cable. And after some time it does it again and then again.

I have to physically watch the progress of charging to get it to a 100%.

It shouldn't behave like this. No, TA backup won't fix this problem. Is suggest you to reinstall stock firmware or factory reset your device.

Check the thread for Dual Recovery, it should have clearer instructions than some tutorials. Xposed is easy to install, just download the correct version for your firmware, flash it with recovery and then install the app and install the modules.

Yes, I tried all these solutions. Phone keeps intermittently charging. It is as if the USB port sits well at start in the phone and then it kinda loses the spot and begins the problem. I don't think it's the battery, since it keeps charge pretty much as it kept it before it started this behavior. How could I clean the lower part of the USB on the phone, as there is a pretty small gap underneath it for anything to fit?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuzibri:

Personally I would not try to clean the lower part of the USB port, cause you can damage the water resistance of it. Do you still have warranty on your device? If yes, send it in for repair.

Hi, HS=homescreen. If a soft reset works, why not do it? Probably shutting down your device for 5 mins will also do the trick. But nevertheless, I would do a search for apps you installed before this problem arose. If you know the exact date this problem arose, you can search easily for apps you installed just before.

I saw that some users have that problem.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuzibri:
I think that Airdroid might be the problem. Installed that too a time ago, and only problems with it. Deinstalled it and intalled instead Mobizen, also in the Playstore. Mobizen is far better than Airdroid, cause it let's you control your entire device via PC/Laptop. Needs to be installed also on your PC/Laptop of course. Once connected your device with Mobizen on your PC/Laptop (always start Mobizen form your PC/Laptop), it shows you the homescreen of your device (or wherever you are on your device) and with the laptop you can control your device in every way, e.g. switching to other programs, answering Whatsapp messages using your laptop keyboard, etc, etc.

Xperia Z1 C6906 (bell mobility) locked bootloader

Hi there,

I'm new to these forums any help will be greatly appreciated..

I need help with rooting and installing the newest cyanogenmod on my xperia Z1

It's a c6906 from Canada originally from Bell Mobile

The boot loader cannot be unlocked in this variant.

It came with 4.4 firmware and I upgraded through Sony to 5.0.2

I can't figure out how to bypass the boot loader access to install a custom recovery and the latest Cyanogenmod with android 5.1 or later..

thanks again

Hey! I used to be on the same boat (I have a c6903 though). I followed the instructions in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2647487

With that you can flash a custom recovery without having to unlock the bootloader. Make sure your phone is rooted first. I did my root using the kingroot app (http://d-h.st/34c1).

When flashing a custom rom make sure you also flash the dual recovery at the same time so it's not deleted

---------- Post added at 05:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:35 PM ----------

I have a c6903 on which I just flashed RR v5.5.4 then v5.5.5

Did a full wipe (cache/ dalvik / internal storage) both times. The rom is wonderful however I can't get LTE to work. When I choose preferred network as LTE I get an exclamation mark next to the network notification and data does not work. I get 3g and HSPA when I choose 3g.

I tried changing the APN and it didn't help. Anyone has any suggestions?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lacynator:
On the cyanogen website just pick your device and download the appropriate zip. Look for the tutorial in the Z1 Android development section. It will walk you through the steps to do it. Same for flashing dual recovery. (sorry I can't link I'm on mobile)
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuzibri:
Hi,

To go back to the official ROM, go to settings - making a backup and resetting - choose reset to factory settings. This will bring you back to the official ROM, only two buts:

1. You will loose all of your current data.

2. Do not make a backup of your device before resetting, cause when you restore the backup, it will contain lots of information of your previous ROM.

What's also an option, is to perform simply a Hard Reset, see the manual of your device how to do that. If I'm correct, this is the way to do that:

1. Open the slot of the micro SIM Card

2. On the left side or right side of this open slot, you will find a red dot, saying: shutdown

3. Press this button with a non sharp pencil or paperclip untill the device shuts down by itself

4. During this reset procedure you are not allowed to start up the device untill the reset procedure has ended.

Just to be clear, I'm not responsible for any damage to your device. Applying the above instructions is for your own responsibility/risk.

Sorry, cannot make it any easier,
