Mod Ver XOSP 6.3 Final 20160723-Z00A

Android 6.0.1

REC/Boot loder ver 3.0.2-0 TWRP

wanted to explain my issue . So I'm trying to update from marshmallow to the next 7.0 Android system and for quite a while my micro SD card slot just basically stopped working. It is not recognized in the bootloader recovery either. The phone has been through a little bit of use so I was wondering how it would be best to troubleshoot if the MicroSD card slot is actually physically broken.? The micro SD card I have is a Samsung 64 gig Evo and it has worked fine in my other Samsung Galaxy S5 and computers.

My main thing is that I have downloaded the latest ROM version for this phone and it still will not install error code 7. however the original ROM file which is an older version I did a restore and the original file worked successfully and I was recently able to do a backup through recovery which I had previously not been able to do however I updated my recovery to the latest version of TWP so that could have made the difference.

As well if I copy the original source file that I still have on the phone of the ROM that's installed to the Delta folder to try and update it I can copy the original file leave it there however it will say there's nothing to update once I insert the new ROM that I want to attempt to up to 2 it basically crashes. I have tried to install the ROM through recovery ROM manager ROM installer and I have performed a full wipe on the phone except for the actual data and tried just installing the updated ROM package and gives me the same error. Thanks again for all the time and effort in advance =)

Also i hope i posted this the right wat this looked like the best place 2 go 4 help.

Hello,

my Sony Xperia Z1 Compact has the standard Android 5.1 version of Sony. Now I want to upgrade to a new Android version.

I need it for everyday-use and it should be relatively stable. The camera is not that important, but it should work. I use especially the browser, so the mobile datas should also work. Otherwise it should be only be stable and the battery should not discharge too fast. Is there any good build for me?

That one looks very interesting: AICP 7.1 ROM amami (I can't link the URL, because I am a new user :) )

Is it okay for a Custom-ROM beginner? I think I will find some instructions and tutorials how to install it. I just have to know if it is a good choice.

If there are any English mistakes, please correct me. I have to improve my English. :o

Thank you!
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] levone1:
Anything over LP 5.1 has an unusable camera, with one possible exception: DU Marshmallow rom with custom kernel. Read op of this thread - https://xdaforums.com/sony-xperia-z1-compact/general/z1c-marshmallow-roms-t3372565 Note the addenda at the bottom.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Skylac06:
Thank you for your fast answer.

Is the camera completely unusable or just "not good"? I do not need the best quality, but it should at least work and you should be able to identify what the picture shows.

However, thank you for the link. I think I will try it. Android 6 is, I hope so, an improvement. Maybe I will then upgrade to Nougat.

There are no other options like Ubuntu Touch or Sailfish, right?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] levone1:
Put a piece of tape over your camera lens, and turn off the lights, and shake the phone back and forth while taking a picture... That's what most of the photos will look like.

No Sailfish, and [MENTION=4120742]munjeni[/MENTION] has built Ubuntu touch for Z1c, but I couldn't get the Internet to work, (except for Ubuntu store, which downloads apps fine). - https://mega.nz/#!YEpCHLoS!tRxZpJHUSKL_cZz9wisGZvWl7igYAlYJRjwbcT_s868 Besides that, fxp has built Firefox OS, but probably hard to find at this point, and there are a few MIUI builds out there that are very good.

Hello again,

I decided to try out some Custom-ROMs.

Now I find many different ways how to root my phone and unlock the bootloader. Which way do you here recommend?

And how difficult is going back to the stock ROM and lock the bootloader againg, if nothing works?

Thank you!
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] levone1:
Backup TA - https://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/universal-dirtycow-based-ta-backup-t3514236

Unlock bl - https://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/unlock-yourboot-loader

Root and recovery :

Download custom kernel to pc, and extract boot img to ADB directory - https://xdaforums.com/sony-xperia-z...rnel-advanced-14-5-0-242-kernel-v1-0-t3096060 and download twrp img to ADB directory - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=457095661767147235 then use fastboot commands to flash boot and recovery. Now you have recovery, and you can either flash SuperSU zip, or flash custom rom.

Restore TA - https://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/poc-real-trim-instead-drm-fix-t3552893 or use Flashtool relock bl option - http://www.flashtool.net/
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Skylac06:
One little question: if I unlock my bootloader, my complete internal storage is wiped, right?

But if my bootloader is locked, I can not use the nandroid-backup-function of TWRP, because I can not use the custom kernel to root my phone. (Am I right? :confused: )

Currently I only have done your first step - backup the TA.

And of course, thank you again. :fingers-crossed:
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] levone1:
You can root with locked bl, but your options are: 1) use Kingroot, (and it's generally preferred to not keep Kingroot, so after rooting you can replace Kingroot with SuperSU or wipe everything and flash a new rom with SuperSU), or 2) downgrade to KK and use doomlord rootkit, then flash LP prf.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Skylac06:
Okay. :)

I would like to avoid using Kingroot and downgrade to 4.4 is not even better.

But I found the Sony-Flashtool "Emma" for Windows. It seems to be able to restore completely the Stock-5.1-ROM. So I think I don't need a whole nandroid-backup. Am I right?

So I will unlock my bootloader, flash the custom kernel using TWRP-Tool and have a rooted phone. Then I am able to flash any custom-ROM I want to try out.

Did I misunderstand anything? :confused:
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] levone1:
True, Emma will restore you to stock. The backup would be if you want to restore the particular state of your phone right now.

Unlock bl, then flash the boot and recovery imgs, and you will be able to get into recovery. You'll want to have whatever rom you want to flash already downloaded on sdcard.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Skylac06:
It works. :)

Now I have the AICP 12.1 7.1.2 Nightly Version.

Only the camera is not good, but better than expected. The aroma-GApps-package does not work, the GUI is hidden under the GUI of TWRP, but you can select your choice. However, after clicking install nothing was installed. After I downloaded and installed the super-GApps-package everything works fine.

If I find some issues, where can I report them? In the officiall AICP-12.1 N 7.1 amami Thread?

And at least a great thank you to levone1. :fingers-crossed:

Best Custom ROM for Z1C

Not to open a new thread, which Custom ROM would you guys recommend to install on my Z1C?

I'm having some issues atm. It keeps restarting; I did a factory reset, it worked well for a while, now the issue is back. However, it does seem to work fine when hooked up to my PC (with the PC Companion active). Before I start shopping for a new phone, I'd like to root it first.

For this purpose, I'd like to know whick custom ROM is the most stable that you would recommend I install. Also, I'd be very helpful if you could direct to a good guide about the entire process.

Thank you in advance, I appreciate it!
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] prustr:
OP's intention is different than mine but this approach looks suit me well. I would like to keep my stock (14.6.A.1.236), so can I flash kernel.sin from Stock Rom via Flashtool after restoring TA and keep root status and recovery or should I use the custom kernel henceforth?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] levone1:
I don't think I've ever done it that way, but I don't see why not. As long as you don't wipe your recovery, you should still be good... (if you'd rather use stock kernel for whatever reason).
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] prustr:
Thanks for the answer. Actually the whole story is, the phone belongs to my wife and she is neither techsavvy nor has patience with electronics, especially when any problem come up. I would like to remove bloatwares and have backup yet keep the phone as Stock as possible. I'm trying to keep my ROM related modifications at minimum. That's been said, I would welcome any correction on this manner as I feel you found returning the stock kernel is pointless.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] levone1:
I wouldn't say pointless, but for the most part, any custom kernel is an improvement. Most of the customizations wouldn't mean anything to someone like that, but I doubt there's any harm or risk in keeping it.

I too have the same problem. I don't remember how I got myself into this problem but I remember that I was flashing a "custom rom" and my internal storage by default which is (without any files in the storage except the newly flashed rom) 32 gb which is in general is 29.12gb. Was decreased to 24 gb. And after reading many pages and bull**** I came to know that my phone has created an "virtual sd card" without my knowledge.

Failed solutions : I have tried everything. (when I say everything I mean it)

1.I have format my internal memory

2. Flashed an "stock rom" (no twrp) and again format my storage.

And none of the above worked out.

So, when I get my MW1 into the file transfer mode. The same display as you sent. I do not get any recognition of the OS that a USB device is connected.

Mac OS 10.9.2, Windows 8.1 64bit, Windows 7 64bit.

The device is not detected in zadig. Am I missing a step? The device does not show up in device manager, or System Profiler (OSX).

Am I missing a step?
[Sony Cross-Device General] burak5:
1. It´s not file transfer mode. It´s Firmware update mode (you need to press back button while connecting your device)

2. It should show up (I have a win 7 64bit)

I think you maybe missed the back button or your computer cant download the drivers (?)...

So zadig.exe has "Install Driver" not "Replace". DFU-Util is saying that I have more than one device in DFU Mode. Is there a way to modify the install.bat to specify a specific device?

1. If it didn't switch to firmware update mode you pressed the false button ( or the Usb 3.0 port create problems)
