[Q] Camera broken after rooting and upgrading back to 2.257 - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After I used Bin4ry's root and upgraded back to 2.257 my camera stopped working. Any way to undo or fix this? I really want to use the camara. I did not unlock the bootloader(I think).
Thanks in advance!

once your rooted you should not need the app
also when you flash a new rom you should retain root.
the only exeption is some ota updates, but with a g1 I doubt those are a problem anymore lol

Go to Settings -> Apps -> All -> Update Centre -> Force stop. The notification might appear again the next time that the app is launched.

Hi, i've got the same problem, i have just re-flash with Flashtool the firmawre " C6903_14.3.A.0.757_Stripped.ftf " and its never ask me again,
if that help you.
please explain further what you do, are you re-flash all firmware, or only "C6903_14.3.A.0.757_Stripped.ftf", do you wipe data or only wipe cache/dalvik cache?

That's normal, it's because PCC checks the customization stored in the TA instead of the one in the rom.

Can't send/receive SMS from stock conversations app after root

Hi,
I have rooted my Sony Xperia Z3 Compact yesterday. I have also installed Xposed framework and GravityBox. I'm using pre-rooted D5803_23.4.A.1.232_R5C_Central Europe 1 Generic_1288-7915 FTF.
My problem is that I can't send and receive SMS message on stock Conversations app. When I send message, I get floating popup 'Can't send message'. In another apps like Hangouts etc, everything works fine.
Does anyone know what can I do, beside changing sms app to another?
UPDATE:
Only Hangouts allows me to send and receive sms
I have the same issue, only Hangouts works as an SMS app, nothing else... any solutions?

I almost always have this problem when I flash clean pre-rooted FW and start using the phone for the first time.
Simple solution - hard reset using settings. The problem immediately disappears

Where is that option? Are you talking about factory resetting the phone?
I can't find a hard reset option in any settings, you have to be more specific please :crying:

Yes, writing hard reset I meant factory resetting the phone, I just couldn't find a proper words
Oh boy this is messed up.
Will I loose root after that?
And will I have to do it every time I update my phone with a pre-rooted FW?
Did you managed to fix this issue with factory reset? Did you lost root access?

It was an issue on the very first version of MM that the phone (APN) settings weren't updating, but it's been fixed long ago.
The latest version is now 23.5.A.1.238

Xiaomi mi5 cm13 minor problems

Hi all.
I installed cm13 on my mi5 pro yesterday. Looking good so far. I only have minor issues. The first and most important is I can't swap the back and recent button. I've already got used to miui method ( back on the right, recent button on the left).
How can I change them on cm13? Unfortunately closed+gravity can't help me, because after installing them my banking app (Barclay's) thinks that my phone is rooted and closes with an FC. I've also tried the buttons on the screen option, but in this way I lose screen size, though I can change the buttons I believe.
The other small issue is that I don't really like the menu in this alphabetical order system. Can I use something else instead? Like what is in Nova launcher, just a normalenu, nothing else.
Thanks for the help in advance.
Cheers!
the first issue is related to kernel... when cm will be based on the kernel released from xiaomi, the problem will be solved. don't worry, developers are working on it
I found the a method and it is working:

For the drawer style you can change that in the launcher's settings. Long press a free spot on your home screen, then press settings and change style to "compact".
This swaps the two capacitive buttons around to xiaomi setup instead of Google
you can also find it on this url: https://store.shade.sh/mi5/ from the unofficial cm13 weekly build thread if you do not wish to download it from myself
Thank you guys its working like a miracle.
Now I have another problem, but this time it looks massive.
So my problem is that cm13 is pre rooted when you install it. Well, I have no problem with it, but unfortunately my banking app ( Barclay's) has. I can't use it, because it says rooted device not supported. I've already checked developer options, and root access is disabled, but this doesn't help, I still have issues with the app. I tried flash SuperSU+binaries from twrp, opened app after flash and use full unroot, same problem, banking app thinks my phone is still rooted. I'm thinking about trying out the slim (aosp based) ROM if I can't find any working method.
Can you guys help me with this?
Thank you one again

Tried out this method, but as soon as I tried to start banking app, it closed with an fc. Yes I remember now, that was the problem few days back.
Hm...I can't think anything else..

Try using shade.sh's userbuilds. They are built without built in root. They are under the category "userbuilds" on his website.
Success!
I had to install aosp to to realize what's the problem here. After I did that the same problem happened.: Banking app says my phone is rooted. So I tried doing the same methods on aosp what I did on cm13, except Xposed+gravity because I knew my apps gonna FC. So I tried safe unroot apk from play store, no luck. I also tried this app the night before.
Then i thought maybe I should enable root in developer options, because yesterday morning with this was a half success, Barclays mobile banking app( debit card) said, the device is rooted, I touched ok, then it started without any problems. It was only half success, because the other app Barclaycard (credit card) didn't work, same problem: the phone is rooted. So I tried out the following, and that was the complete success:
Enabled root access for apps only in dev options than i started safe unroot from play->everything's working like a charm.
Thank you guys for help!

Did you use the same root image of your version? What's your build number and what's the root file you have used?
also, are you using twrp? twrp breaks wifi with latest update...
