Hi there,

I am trying to update the SuperSU (v2.78) through the recovery (TWRP) and then the phone won't boot. As soon as the Powered by Android shows it freezes and then restarts. Then it repeats the same (bootloop).

Any solution for this? How to you update your SuperSU binaries?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] morfis2:
I have the same. You cant update xposed or supersu on this Rom.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] LuSiD7:
Really? I wonder why and how we are going to update the binaries. So we are stuck with what SuperSU version comes with the ROM?

Any ideas from the people who ported this ROM?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] LuSiD7:
Has anyone tried flashing the new SuperSU with the Flashfire app? I wish I could, but I don't have a backup phone and I have reinstalled this ROM 5 times already.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] LuSiD7:
One more input from me regarding this ROM which I really like.

In my opinion the HQB (High Quality Bass) made my ringtones and the phone's sounds more distorted. I wouldn't recommend flashing it. I know I won't if I reinstall.

By the way, does anyone know a way to uninstall it?

And what happened to the devs of this ROM? Are you there guys?

My experience - started from rooted stock 236, locked bl, (new phone). Flashed zip after full wipe, (including system), and rebooted to blank screen, no Sony logo, nothing. Phone powered off as soon as vibrated. Used Flashtool to flash stock kernel, and booted to Sony logo, then black screen. Waited a few minutes, nothing changed, so just forced power off, and reboot a couple times, plus attempting to boot to recovery, which I knew wouldn't work, since I just flashed fota kernel, but after a couple of reboots, all of a sudden it booted to boot animation, and works great now.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] Sonik Garcia:
No stable version?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] levone1:
It's quite stable. The 2 settings items that fc are extra settings, (some might say fluff), not part of the core settings. I just used Settings Editor from Xposed, and deleted them. Everything else is perfect.

Anyone else having problems with USB charging? My phone is new, and charged fine since I've had it so far, but I've noticed since yesterday that I can't get it to charge with USB. Fortunately I have a dock, from my last Z1C, and it charges fine with that, but when plugging in, it goes in and out. I've tried several different chargers and cables, including the stock ones. I'm afraid the port got damaged, but I'm holding out hope that it's somehow a ROM issue. I'm not sure how these things work... Maybe it has nothing to do with the ROM, but funny that it worked fine on other roms.

[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] levone1:
Use Flashtool. Download ftf, then click flash, select your ftf file, then check everything in the 'exclude' box except kernel files. Only takes 10 seconds to flash, but about 10 minutes in total for whole ftf download process...
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] giriz1c:
Flashed kernel as u said. Phone booted but its restarting repeatedly...tried flashing Fota through Flashtool no luck its restarting repeatedly. any easy way to flash this v10 in Locked bootloader.. please assist...?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] levone1:
If you flashed fota, you probably can't get into recovery, right? If that's the case, you may have to flash whole system, then root and install recovery. But, when you say phone boots but restarts repeatedly, do you mean the boot animation, or do you actually boot to the lock screen? If so, you might be able to flash dual recovery. rom flashes and works fine with locked bl. You just need recovery.

---------- Post added at 10:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:00 AM ----------

Also, when you flashed kernel, did you flash 'boot' and 'boot delivery', (or whatever it is - I know there's at least 2)? Another thing to try is to check 'wipe data' when you flash, as there could be something in app data causing bootloop. Also, don't give up too soon.

I don't usually pay much attention to that, but I just checked, and it seems to be working, (hard to tell exactly). Do you say it's not working because the images don't look as good as they're supposed to, or does it force close or something.

For locked bootloader - download v10 zip, delete boot img from zip, and replace with this one - https://mega.nz/#!FhUEXKrI!WdrvcmKWn9L99pYmzk8opi4LpUFz_QmlclY_7i_UgNI

Note - this is totally stock Sony boot img. There is no recovery included. If you have NUT xzdr, you will lose recovery and have to flash again. If you have new Sony bootloader with real recovery, and real-recovery-compatible recovery img, you should be fine.

I've put together a v10 with stock boot img for locked bl, and with dark&blue framework mods and system apps. Also has scrolling navbar mod, and I replaced Xperia theme and live wallpaper with the old LP one, (particle effect), because I like it better.

Note - because I changed and added values to certain xml files, and I'm not an expert, some 3rd-party apps will show dark-on-dark text in menus, (see Mega example in screenshots). I'm not sure if I can change it in the framework, or if you have to just mod each app. There may be an Xposed module that can do it per-app. Glad to try any ideas...

And for unlocked bootloader maybe?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] levone1:
It will work for unlocked, but you would probably rather have the kernel from original version, so take boot img from original, and replace the one in my zip with it, (unless you have real recovery - then you can just flash the kernel after).

I can try to upload to Drive later. For Mega error -

1. Try a different browser, (Chrome maybe - some browsers don't recognize the Mega redirect intent thing).

2. Double tap url bar as soon as you tap link, and copy the url before it changes. There's about 1 second where you get the Mega link info before it changes to a redirect. Then you can open Mega app, and choose 'open link' from the menu.

Mods are included in the zip

OKey bro thank you, so much i have the original kernel put it in your zip file. ( thats thev18.1 )

First i have full format the device with twrp. format system data everything. After that the recovery was lose But no problem i have flash with fastboot the twrp 3.0.2. Thats it .

Now i flash your new rom succesfull. ;)

Its a beautiful rom now. I have checked the fmradio and gives error and close . Is there a solution maybe ? :)

And when i click on ``Special gestures`` and``Side panel`` gives the same error.

But otherwise working very well.

(Sorry that i cannot good speak) :(
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] levone1:
[MENTION=6243206]Murtie[/MENTION] - Fm radio issue and Special gestures`` and``Side panel crash is related to rom port. Check with dev and see if he has a fix. I used Settings Editor from Xposed repo to hide those items, since I don't want them anyway. I made a few changes to colors to make menus more clear. Still can't figure out that text issue... Replace your framework-res with this one if you want...

Hi all,

My story: I got somehow this nice Rom working on mi z1 C with lollipop (14.6.A.1.236). I say somehow because I don't remember How I was able to flash a recovery. Then I somehow messed up with xposed and imei changer and I noticed that I wasn't able to access recovery any more. Since then the hell broke loose. I've spent two days flashing and reflashing everithyng (I even tried to downgrade to kitekat) but to no avail. There seems to be no way to install recovery, as a matter of fact I get OK from fastboot but there seems to be no way to access it hence I cannot proceed with the rest of the procedure. Is there anyone willing to explain what I'm doing wrong? I even read that in the new sony kernel there isn't the recovery partition, may be this the reason? But then why did I succeed previously?

Many Thanks,

Federico

Nut dual recovery - https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...UaOIA5h3_ZLWL590Q&sig2=E-U1ubhG0_WSZd1osOMbLA You need adb and drivers on your computer. Works every time on stock. You can flash recovery img with fastboot, but with stock kernel, you won't be able to access recovery unless you update ta partition with Emma. Only adb can do it with stock, and if you have adb access, nut dual recovery will do it in one click.

If you do update ta, and want to get recovery that way, you need a real-recovery compatible img, (twrp 3), and you get into recovery from power-off, not from startup.

Adb - https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...uU0vhRtPaPAEZ4LXg&sig2=Tc9CuQWQq0Ka6C7NtZEv1Q

[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] KonTiki2000:
Hi Levone1 and thank you for your help.

As a matter of fact I was unaware of the existence of a TA (Trim Area?) partition at all. Even less I knew it's relevance, but so far as I tried to understand: it seems to be lost for ever! I even tried to lock again the bootloader and connect to emma since with unlocked bootloader it gave me only the chance to reflash the system (last two versions) and no TA, but with locked bootloader it only signaled it to be locked with no actions possible. Now the only way which seems to be possible is “Nut” dual recovery you mentioned but it needs a rooted device which I still don't have; until now I have rooted only using zip files from recovery. Nonetheless I took my chance and tried some other ways but failing miserably. I even tried to extract the kitekat (108) kernel to reflash momentarily and use newroot to come then back to lollipop kernel but somehow the extracted .elf file doesn't get accepted from Flashtool which states that it's not a boot image. To make the story short: I'm stranded :crying: although I have a fine nandroid back up waiting for me as soon as I will be able to get twrp working again … any help/suggestion will be greatly appreciated. Btw how do I put a “thank you” flag on someone post?

Thank you,

Federico
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] levone1:
I see. I assumed you were rooted since you have unlocked bl... Here's what you need to do - 1) download this boot img and copy to fastboot folder https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1niPALD2vPeR3JHZk9tcm91QTA/view?usp=drivesdk. 2) download this twrp and copy to fastboot folder https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1niPALD2vPeYnU4ZUtKYklZUFNwVWVQcnpUeHB1dGppd2pj/view?usp=drivesdk. 3) download supersu zip and copy to phone https://download.chainfire.eu/696/supersu/ 4) make sure you have a rom zip on your phone.

Now connect to your computer in fastboot mode and use 'fastboot flash boot' for boot img, and 'fastboot flash recovery' for twrp img. Disconnect phone, and you should be able to get into recovery the old-fashioned way, BUT your phone will not boot, so just turn it on to get into recovery. Now you can flash a rom, and if it's not a rooted rom, just flash the supersu zip before you reboot.

Keep in mind that using recovery this way, some rooms can change or erase recovery, but with ta update, they don't touch it. You can always repeat this process if you have to.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] KonTiki2000:
Hi Levone1, thanks again ... it's not working: it does not boot into recovery and then it stucks on a white SONY on a black background. I had to force shut down then reflash with flash tool. I think the only way is to flash a kitekat kernel, root with newroot and then reflash lollipop kernel to proceed then with your suggestions. But I'm not able to find/extract the correct kernels to proceed ...
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] levone1:
Sounds like the recovery img didn't flash. What command did you use? Do you get a led flash? You should get a purple flash, then press volume up or down.

Sorry I didn't answer earlier. If you use the respond key under the post, I'll get a notification.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] KonTiki2000:
Hi Levone1, my command was "fastboot flash boot boot.img" and no I did not get the led light the booting went direct to the SONY sign and then froze. I heard the booting sound though. But anyway although I will try to understand the related problems a little better (such as what it means "reflash" the TA partition with or without emma) I finally succeeded in this way:

-new flashing through emma

-rooting with an app (kingroot), which I normally don't like to do since I'm not aware of what exactly those app do

-install the recovery you suggested in your first replay through the PC (linux-ubuntu)

-recover my nandroid backup previously prepared

And now I'm on the road again :)

Btw the nandroid backup apparently missed to backup some important files (mainly maps) I had earlier and which don't exist any more. Is this normal?

Thanks
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] KonTiki2000:
Hi to everybody, the z1 compact is working fine now since a couple of days but, apart from the fact that I'm still searching, for a new (used) z1 compact I acquired, for a way to back up the TA partition without unlocking the bootloader which so far seems impossible to me since as far as I understand the device must be rooted first which in turn can be accomplished only with unlocked bootloader (any help and hint welcome), I noticed that with this rom the device autoreboots every day at 9,00 am. Is this normal? Since I did not find any setting pointing to that behavior I'm wondering if this can be turned off or if the autoreboot time can be changed.

Many thanks
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] levone1:
Once again I didn't realize that you replied until just now... (use the 'reply' button under the post, and it will make a notification),

The correct command for recovery flash is 'fastboot flash recovery [name of file].img'. Anyway, glad it's working out for you.

Backup and restore doesn't usually touch anything on personal storage, (/sdcard, or /externalsd), so if that's where you had it, you might have wiped it yourself by accident. If it was in /system or /data, (not including /data/user), it should have been backed up.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] KonTiki2000:
Ok I finally understood which button to use :) :),

well, concerning the procedure you are describing in your post #291 I think I proceeded as you mentioned (never mind what I wrote in post #294, the command "fastboot flash boot boot.img" was used first for the booting partition followed by “fastboot flash recovery [name of file].img” as you said). Nevertheless it went into a bootloop...Now, as you see in my last post, I have another z1c where to try all over again but in spite of all my searching I still did not find a way to back up the TA partition for start, due to the “logical loop”: TA partition B.U. first then bootloader unlocking, but the TA partition can be backed up only if rooted hence with the bootloader unlocked????

Do you know something about the autoreboot I'm talking about In my last post (#295)?

Thanks
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] levone1:
For ta backup, I used this - https://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/universal-dirtycow-based-ta-backup-t3514236. -Quick and easy and makes an img of ta. For rooting, etc., kingroot works fine on LP, and doomlord one-click for KK, then flash NUT xzdr on PC to get recovery, and you can unlock bl and flash whatever rom you want.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] KonTiki2000:
Do you think that in the end of the whole procedure the app Kingroot could leave some fishy leftovers?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] levone1:
Once you're rooted, you can wipe everything, (including /system), and flash anythings you want, (without kingroot). If you want to be totally safe, back up personal files and wipe internal storage and sdcard too...
