In the following guide I suggest you use an external SDCard but that's just good practice, you can use your internal storage or even an USB OTG storage device in TWRP if you like to install, that's no problem!... If you are modding and the likes, best is to have an external sdcard, just for safeties sake.
C6602: How to update to 10.3.1.A.2.67:
For C6602: Download C6602.flashable.67.zip (Bittorrent: 696MB) and C6602_10.3.1.A.2.67_Stripped.ftf (15MB), save it somewhere you remember;
Put 'C6602.flashable.67.zip' on (the external) SDcard1;
Put 'C6602_10.3.1.A.2.67_Stripped.ftf' inside the Flashtool/firmwares folder;
Create a backup of your phone in CWM or TWRP and don't forget to backup the contents of 'SDCard0';
Flash 'C6602.flashable.67.zip' in recovery, do not reboot but go back to the main menu, then go to reboot->power off;
Flash everything in 'C6602_10.3.1.A.2.67_Stripped.ftf';
Reboot to system without clearing (dalvik-/)cache.
C6603 & C6606: How to update to 10.3.1.A.2.67:
For C6603 & C6606: Download C6603.flashable.67.zip (Bittorrent: 749MB) and C6603_10.3.1.A.2.67_Stripped.ftf (15MB), save it somewhere you remember;
Put 'C6603.flashable.67.zip' on (the external) SDcard1;
Put 'C6603_10.3.1.A.2.67_Stripped.ftf' inside the Flashtool/firmwares folder;
Create a backup of your phone in CWM or TWRP and don't forget to backup the contents of 'SDCard0';
Flash 'C6603.flashable.67.zip' in recovery, do not reboot but go back to the main menu, then go to reboot->power off;
Flash everything in 'C6603_10.3.1.A.2.67_Stripped.ftf';
Reboot to system without clearing (dalvik-/)cache.
The first boot will be considerably slower and after a long wait at the boot animation you will see Android optimizing the apps on your phone.
C6603 USERS WHO INSTALLED THE C6602 ROM ONLY:
Although much is the same, it's best to follow the guide as described above, just to be sure your phone gets set back to being what it really was: a C6603
NOTE: You will eventually/inevitably get the triangle screen again after doing this update (typically after you shut down your phone to reboot it without an actual reboot command), you will have to sit this one out it seems, it keeps coming back until it's done...
DO NOT INTERRUPT IT, LET IT RUN AND DO IT'S THING! you have been warned!
NEW: DE-ODEX your ROM!
Download deodex.67.zip (Bittorrent: 393MB), save it somewhere you remember;
Put 'deodex.67.zip' on (the external) SDcard1;
Create a backup of your phone in CWM or TWRP and don't forget to backup the contents of 'SDCard0';
Flash 'deodex.67.zip' in recovery, do not reboot but go back to the main menu;
Clear dalvik-cache ONLY;
Reboot to system.
The first boot after following this guide will take considerably longer again and after a long wait at the boot animation you will see Android optimizing the apps on your phone.
I have done this myself, using this method and I have not found any problem yet, again! :fingers-crossed:
Enjoy! :laugh:
Known XZDualRecovery Issues:
Busybox Updater/Installer: If you have XZDualRecovery installed, un-install any Busybox updating app/tool as most if not all of them will install a version of busybox which does not support the lzma compression applets XZDualRecovery depends on. The version installed together with XZDualRecovery is very stable and I have yet to hear anyone complain about it's stability.
How to report errors:
Please, before shouting out "It doesn't work!!1!" or "I lost root!" or even "My phone reboots when remounting /system RW!!" try the following:
Restore a /system ONLY using any means you are familiar with so you can try again.
Root it using [Z][ROOT] DooMLoRD Easy Rooting Toolkit.
Install XZDualRecovery and then try to update again using TWRP. This time you can skip the FTF as it has already done it's job.
If it still fails something from there on: LOGS!!.
NOTE: The important ones can be found in /cache/recovery and in /tmp/XZDualRecovery, pack them up and send them to me.
Thank you
Thanks Mate -cheers-

Im a little bit afraid. The zip file says C6602 and i have C6603. Is this Official for the C6603 to or only for C6602?

They ARE for the C6602 and no, there isn't any C6603 version yet. That's why i instruct you to keep the 244 baseband, to keep LTE.
I have a C6603 as well (see sig), and the image from the OP is made with that. You see it identify itself as a C6602, but yet, i still have LTE

That's simple: turn off the phone, have flashtool ready to flash (where it instructs to connect the USB lead), then while holding the VOL-DOWN button, connect the USB lead. :good:
Thanks again. Works fine on my C6603, don't need LTE so i never tried it.

battery bug is still there, installed it on my C6603 and soon after the root did a test restart at 32% battery and up to 62%.
I only root and without Recovery think this is hardware problem because they are already Three ROM 4.2.2 and still persists Bug Battery.
Sorry my bad English.

No, from what i have understood, it's not a hardware problem but a library issue in vanilla android 4.2.2 ... we'll just have to wait for Sony to permanently fix this.

Camera Not working [STOCK][C690X][4.4] Update to 14.3.A.0.681 [Root & XZDR][LB/UB]
I would like to add to the thread mentioned below that I also have the camera not working.
Sony Xperia Z1 > Xperia Z1 Android Development > [STOCK][C690X][4.4] Update to 14.3.A.0.681 [Root & XZDR][LB/UB]
Device: Xperia Z1, 6903.
BootLoader unlocked
Previous Rom: [ROM] iHackers v3.0 [Xperia Z1] [ 1 2 3 ... Last ]
Previously the camera worked fine.
Admin: I've been flashing Roms since my Xperia X10, I am an experienced IT Guy with 15 years linux experience. I just never posted before because I always found my answers but this time I think I need to notify user: [NUT] that there are more users with this problem, reported on page 31.
Please allow me to post directly to the thread in question.
Thank you.
i solved downgrading to 136 then flashed stock 681 official
After i installed CWM6 recovery and flashed SU Package from chainfire website.
But battery draining too fast
Did you try doing a factory reset?

Do you know this solution of yours works or do you enjoy getting people to factory reset their phone? Technically, there is no reason why that should make any difference. Please explain.
I have read that others who have done a factory reset, had their problems resolved.
No need to be so hostile, I was just trying to help. Won't help you in the future.

Not being hostile at all mate. It's just that your solution doesn't make any sense, would have brought me grief if I followed your advice, and no I haven't read anywhere of anyone reseting to factory having solved this particular problem.
So a technical explanation would have made a difference!
same thing, after flashing 14.3.A0.681 my phone camera is not working (Z1 /unlock bootloader/rooted /before flashing this rom /my device was working perfectly)....
waiting for solution. start to flashing old rom 1136
I ended up flashing a stock kit Kat ftf. No root but at least I have a working phone. With camera and no glitches. I will look into rooting and installing recovery next time I get a chance.

Actually a Factory Reset is recommended every time after an Upgrade to clean up the installation. @hush66 is right, It was said 100 times here on XDA and before wipe everything you should had do a Factory Reset. Maybe it will not fix your problem but it does for some Battery Drain and some other stuff. Never reject a tip, but try by your self if you don't have nothing to lose.
hi Guys,

please read the post again, it does not say that, it says to flash a FTF again
At the very least I so hope you have learned to read before you start going flashing or unlocking your phone.
You have unlocked your bootloader so its very easy
Flash a 757 FTF
Flash XZDR dual recovery kernel (From [NUT]s download page here http://nut.xperia-files.com/) (Extract the boot.img, flash it with fastboot flash boot boot.img, then enter recovery and flash the whole .zip)
Then flash supers.zip from chainfire http://download.chainfire.eu/420/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.99.zip
then enter recovery (Philz and goto philz settings and enable verify root on exit, then reboot and conform to fix root)

I have noticed a trend with UB and camera issues. are you using a custom kernel? If not, i would consider relocking your bootloader or flashing your back up if you made one before you unlocked. Once thats done and you confirm camera working on .534.. follow this quide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52407809&postcount=2 this page is by @gregbradley

Go back to 534 using flashtool, then re-root your phone, then install a custom recovery, then install a custom rom, don't boot, boot to flashmode and flash the global or region specific FTF for your phone not the stripped version, obviously taking care not to include TA and System in the flash, also don't perform a wipe from within flashtool on the second flash.
Done
Obviously do this only when all else has failed, should only take around 20 minutes max

I had this issue with .681 using nut method aswell.
Followed all directions and wiped prior to flash in recovery. All was fine but.camera was pitch black and fuzzy it would take a picture with flash but only crap.
All I had to do was
back up using titanium
Enter recovery and factory reset
Wipe dalvic cache
Reboot
Reinstall vital data only from titanium
Do not restore any camera app or data

I understand there is already a post regarding another user who has had this problem. However, I believe that my circumstances differ.
I am currently running iHacker's 4.1 rom. My device is a c9603, and has an unlocked bootloader. (I'm not sure if the other user was locked or unlocked)
From the roms that I have tested, I am only able to successfully use wifi and see my baseband, etc., using PAC or a restoration of a backup made of my current rom. All I am trying to do is update from .757 to .108.
Would it be worth it to make a backup of everything, relock the bootloader, revert it completely back to stock, unrooting it, and then either root it again and try to update, or use sony's PC companion or my phone's update center to update my firmware and then root it on .108?
Thanks in advance. This has just been a persistent problem and I'm really getting tired of it.
***UPDATE***
Somewhere in all my rom flashing endeavors, I must have accidently picked up a c6903 version of a ROM or ftf. It changed the model number (according to the status in the service menu) to an 03. Something told me to pop the sim tray, and behold: Model number c6902. Flashed the correct version, and my wifi is up and running again!
Try to go back to initial firmware and then to .108

Nothing seems to be working. No matter what I flash, I loose my baseband, imei, mac, ip... The only two roms that have worked are my current one and PAC.
What the hell is going on?
Try to flash full .534 FTF
It will bring back your IMEI and baseband. I have that before (lost IMEI) then flash .534, install recovery then flash straight to .108
Alright. I have class right now, but I'll give it a try when I get home.

I'm still getting a bootloop. I get past the Sony and Xperia screen and then it gets stuck mid-loop of little animation they included. Could it be a broken ftf? Or just an error when I downloaded it? Because more than one of the ftf files do this.

Sorry for all the trouble, but I will try again as soon as I get home. It's about time this damn problem gets solved.

Nope, same exact thing happened. Except this time, I only got to the "Xperia" portion of the boot logo before it decided to do another boot-loop. I waited for 30 minutes, and had it plugged in, but still nothing...
This time throw it at Sony centre to fix it....We have no idea.....
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~

Thanks for your tip but I have already tried and still get struck in bootloop.
No .534 FTF has booted until now and I have used 6 of them already...
An update is that I have rooted 4.4.4 and installed recovery...
can someone tell me where can I get .534 zip to flash as the files I have are giving me verification error on TWRP.
Thanks in advance...
I have tried to use NUT fix but the files are not available for downloading.
I would really appreciate if someone can direct me to the correct path. I am almost giving up now...

Hi again, Really appreciate your help.
I have tried flashing a number of files but still in vain. What I really can't understand is .518 was the last 4.2.2 rom that booted successfully on my phone and brought my baseband back. Now .534 and .518 are both ending in a bootloop at Sony animation Really driving me crazy...
As a side note, can you tell me if the modem files in the link below are useful for this issue?

By the way I am really amazed with the Z1 ability to handle abuse that I have thrown at it during the last 2 weeks
Changing phone is not an option for me right now. Using Nokia 1100 after a long time seems very uncomfortable and can't do it for long

Thx for the tip but its not working.
My SIm was only detected once thats when I installed .518 but it lasted for a day and got held. When I force restarted the phone it was again missing baseband.
Now it isnt booting into .518 or .534.
Experts am I asking something that is un-do-able...
Guys shall I give up fixing this phone
I loved this dead beauty...
Hi, tried to flash with different cables as I don't have Sony original cable with me but the results are still the same. No luck with .534 and baseband is still unknown...
I understand this is a free community and people are free to determine if they wanna help someone or not. However I just wanna know if this is repairable or shall I just forget about repairing it. Any inputs will be highly appreciated.

I have realized that the phone does not shuts down with the power button in any bootable rom. Also sometimes the baseband does appear soon after installation but it disappears as sim is inserted. Can someone plz help me understand whats going wrong. I really love this phone...
