[Q] Questions about the unlocked bootloader / non-fuctioning camera problem - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I usually buy phones and install custom ROMs ASAP...but as many of you are doing as well, I am currently waiting for the bootloader issue to be fixed so that I can use the camera with a custom ROM.
Basically I have a few questions which I was hoping someone could answer please:
Who can actually fix this issue? Sony or personal developers?
Is there an expected date this looks to be achieved? How soon can this be solved?
Is there anywhere I can check progress for the solution?
Right now I'm just browsing every z1 forum section and threads to see if anything has changed....so would be great to get answers to the above.
Apologies if there is another thread for this - please let me know if there is and I'll have a read.

[q] att htc pure help

Hello everybody! I am new here, i just signed up yesterday and this website only lets me post in this general area. Here is the background: I have an ATT HTC PURE phone that I am not using. I want to try and install android on this phone but I do not know how and what to use. Can someone please guide me in regards to this issue? I want to be able to use the phone as an internet device for home use with my home wifi. Any or all help is appreciated! Thank you to everyone who helps!
Have a read here.
I do not think the system has been perfected so read the latest posts to see what bugs there are.
Also may be other ROMs available in the Android section.

Newbie question from newbie

Hello xda-developers!
I am really new on android development (i bought my xperia x8 phone before one month)
So i am having 2.1 android version and i want to update it into a stable + fast + without problems android version can help me how to find/install it?
There are lots of good roms but some need custom kernels and not all phones can get one.
If you are willing to unlock your bootloader you need to see the manufacturing date on the white sticker below the battery. If it is 11w29 or older then you will have a very big chance of bricking the phone if you try to unlock it. You need to use a rom that supports the stock kernel in this case.
If you CAN unlock the bootloader then you also have better roms at your disposal.
Go to the x8 general forum and read the stickies. Search for tutorials and how-tos'..

[Q] Xperia T keeps crashing and rebooting during call with wifi on??!?

Hi Guys,
Just joined here but been on this site a number of times for my old phone for how to's!
I hope someone can help.
My brand new Xperia T keeps crashing mid phone call if the call is longer than a few minutes. I repaired the handset to no avail and got a second one. Same thing happens and I drop a business call!!!
On the Sony Forum it seems others are having this issue and it seems to be due to a bug with the wifi and the screen locking: www . talk.sonymobile.com/thread/55404?tstart=0
However nobody seems to have a solution. I was wondering if you guys are experiencing this ?
I am not happy with it and it seems stuck with it!
Wow. That is an extremely weird issue which no one so far has reported. You could try and flash the updated Sony release. Its in another forum section I think.

As it's your first post this is just a gentle reminder to please post questions in the correct Q&A forum. I've moved your thread as you will have been informed but please post appropriately in future.
Thanks

Sorry I did realise my misake after posting.
Anyway I installed Cyanogenmod on my old desire by unlocking the bootloader > installing Clockworkmod > installing the new rom
Am I right in reading elsewhere that you also have to flash the kernel and download superuser??? Was complicated enough..

Xperia z1s (c6916) custom roms... Any yet?

First and foremost, let me start off by saying.. I already HAVE used the search function to find threads related to this topic, however, most of them are very outdated, and don't give a straight-up answer to the question. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the Z1S bootloader has a method for unlocking as of now. My question however is this... Are there any Z1S ( Not Z1) Compatible custom roms? Do regular Z1 roms work on the Z1S? and if so, is there a special procedure in making them do so? I just want to know this because I'm most likely gonna unlock my bootloader. and I would like to install a custom rom on my Z1S if possible, but I cannot afford to be taking the risk of bricking my phone if there is virtually no chance of a custom rom working for it.....
So... Any clear answers that can be given would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys!
As far as I know...
The Z1s has never been unlocked. I have this phone and have had it since the beginning and it hasn't been unlocked. I'm pretty sure after many tries everyone finally gave up.
