NFC not working - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

First thing first. Don't flame if this has already been asked/solved. Search function in xda app is garbage and it never finds relevant topics.
So, the problem is following. Whenever I turn on my phone there is a popup saying NFC is updating, but after 10 secs or so it says Error 000006(not sure how many zeroes there are atm), and NFC fails to update which then leads to NFC not working, I'm unable to check it in Setting. Happened both on .253 and the newest FW. Any known fix for this?
Thanks in advance

You need to be more patient then waiting just over an hour. Technically it's against the forum rules to bump a thread within 24 hours which is what your second post is doing.
You need to remember just because people view the thread it doesn't mean they know anything about the subject. I view all threads in here but only post when I know the answer (or when I have to advise people ). Just wait and you'll eventually get an answer.
Thanks

Yeah thanks - probably no solution is what me thinks.

I've been using the following app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rageconsulting.android.lightflowlite
It lets you chose the colour, flash frequency etc for various different notification events.
For instance I've used it to make my SMS notification flash blue very quickly.
I think I found the app via this forum

I havent used that app so I cant confirm anything. But looking at the app's description in the play store it has all the instructiosn yo will need.
Its your choice to root, but dont forget, that you can grab a ftf file of your CLEAN rom via PCCompanion or SUS and flashtool that you can flash if you want to go back to an nrooted device.

Will rooting void warranty?
Once unrooted would Sony be able to tell if phone was rooted?
Sent from my LT30p using Tapatalk 2
Yes, but you can always flash a stock FTF and go back to factory settings, Sony won't be able to tell then. Just make a FTF file from a PC companion or SUS update before you root.p

Should work all the time without force closing. Ridiculous.
I have LT30at and get force close everytime at welcome screen.
Download took me out of the refund window. EA with another license to extort.
I sent them an email to try and get my money back.
I have this same, when I launch a game app always crash to main screen...
It works on mine. Increasing dalvik.vm.heapgrowthlimit should be enough. But root is needed.

Locked bootloader has nothing to do with root access.
Use bin4ry's method version 15.

Make sure you download and install sony backup and restore apk if your device did not come with it preinstalled.

If you are on the latest firmware the only way to root is by unlocking the bootloader, Bin4ry's method does not work in the latest firmware

You can still root by flashing the older formware 7.0.A.1.303 and using bin4ry's method. Just stay on that firmware and you will be rooted. Follow the guide from the all in one thread

Download Root explorer, find file named build.prop in /system, open it for editing, find the line dalvik.vm.heapgrowthlimit and increase it to 96m for example. It should be enough.

NFC problem

Strange, how did you update your firmware?
Because when using PC Companion after the update on first boot the phone says that it is upgrading the NFC Firmware, and it works fine for me.
If you flashed the shared FTF then this issue is likely to be the same issue that has been around for a long time.
I updated through PC companion. I had the original unbranded Australian firmware on it before that which the NFC didn't work either. Was really hoping this would fix it

Strange because we must be using exactly the same firmware, I am also in Brisbane, and my phone is unbranded. Did you get the upgrading NFC Firmware message? Now that we have lost root, it makes fixing that issue difficult to impossible

Here in this thread is the NL ftf file http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2200945
It`s not so hard to find.
Flash with flashtool.
If you have done, please tell me if you have the same nfc update issue as I have.

Yes you can just flash with flashtool to downgrade and if you dont wipe anything,
your phone will be as before just with .434.
But for me the downgrade ended in a NFC update problem that causes the phone to reboot the whole time!
Therefore I am stuck at .253 without root!

To find things requires you to actually search, if you're too lazy to do that then read the stickys where you'll usually find them, but if you're too lazy to even do that, wait for a spoon feeder to come along and help, as they have done.

No. .434 didn't work at all for me, because you can't do anything because of the reboots at startup.
Therefore I flashed . 253 again but without root, because it's unable at the moment.

NFC disabled after root

hey guys just want to know if u guys are having this problem (im on stock .284)
so after rooting using doomlord's tool
the nfc cannot be enabled
if u guys are having this problem there is a solution found in XZ thread
sorry i cannot post the link to it since i accidentaly stumbled upon it
but according to the thread
all u have to do is find the folder data/usf and rename or delete the folder (in my case i just rename it to usf1 since when i try to cut it, it says there are some files that cannot be deleted)
and voila, the nfc can be turned on again
Worked!
I did what you said and worked after reboot.
Actually i didn't even notice that, since i dont use NFC.

Ive that problem before, the popup error just always pop-out, after I try to turn on the NFC.
just replace nfc.apk with the .257 stock, you'll be fine. theres no error anymore. (I give the link below)
set permission - replace the nfc.apk - reboot - wipe data 'NFC Service 4.1.2-_vr_nw' via titanium backup - Done.
and then NFC service can works perfectly
