Xperia Z T-Mobile ROM - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone. I have T-Mobile XPeria Z running latest 4.2.2 firmware.I tried flashing some custom roms but not of them work. If anyone has succesfuly done so, can you please show me how or link to a guide. I would really appreciate it. thanks

The tmobile variant has a locked bootloader so youre limited to lb roms. And no custom kernels

Well, I tried ones for locked bootloaders and followed all instructions.

Well just... Read harder because I'm on a tmo xperia z running existenz

Crap. I tried existenz, but it stuck on bootloop, i think I got to boot logo and the rebooting

I've had similar issues and after a phone hard bricked randomly after a reboot I just run stock rooted now. I would love to be confident in custom ROMs on this device as I am with my Asus Transformer.
If anyone has any suggestions it would help. Do we need to flash rooms in sequence to the version we want? Do we need to change our version to a 6603?

I'm in the same boat. Spent the better part of last night flashing and recovering from bootloops over and over. I am okay with the stock rooted ROM, but at this point my battery life sucks and it is bloatware that is causing the brunt of it. I would love me some stock Android.

Just make sure that you have followed instructions exactly. Make sure you flash whatever kernel is listed with flashtools after flashing the ROM.
Been rooted/custom stock ROM since day 1 with my t-mobile C6606 and haven't experienced any problems.
Best bet is to start from scratch by flashing a complete generic 4.2 ROM with flashtool, root/recover, and then upgrade to pre-rooted ROM.
Sure you are aware, but you will lose the t-mobile specific functions (wifi calling), but also the bloat if you move to a custom stock ROM like eXistenZ.

Do you have a suggested generic 4.2 ROM in mind or just look for an unbranded 6603 4.2 ROM .ftf and flash with flashtool? Then root, install XZR and follow directions for what ever desired stock based ROM such as .101, correct?
And Im assuming, do not flash the baseband for the 6603 or other non 6606 device, correct?

Flash custom stock ROM of your choice. There may be an easier way than this, but this is the route I have taken and all has worked well.
T-mobile APN's for 3G/4G/LTE. I input these every time I clean flash. I confirmed these settings with a friends moto x that is completely stock » http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2236735 4G will actually show as H+ by the signal bars.
If you run into any problems let me know and I'll try to help. Just take your time and follow all instructions. It's well worth it rather than waiting on t-mobile to push our updates, especially now that KK has been officially announced for Q2 (hopefully May). T-mobile will probably be another 2-3 months behind that.

TMo will probably be further behind than that as we don't even have an official 4.3 yet.
Thanks for the instructions. That's exactly what I have been looking for. I'll give that a shot asap, when I get the courage to flash the phone. Probably the next day our two.

Yeah I tried doing this method and now I'm stuck in the boot loop at the sony logo screen. Still not giving up though, am I suppose to flash Update to .101 after or before installation of the rom. I installed the rom prior and now my phone is stuck in bootloop.. I tried using Sony recovery and flash tool to get it back, but it wont recognize my phone and if it does its for a second. I can get it in fastboot mode and CWM and that's it..now I'm stuck AGAIN atm..
---------- Post added at 11:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:07 PM ----------
Somehow I was able to get and keep it in flashmode and flash the whole firmware C6603_10.3.1.A.2.67_Generic UK. Looks like I'm back from start one! So again, am I suppose to flash .101 before or after the rom is installed?

To be on the safe side make sure you install everything in the order that I posted them following instructions. Work your way to the .101 pre-rooted ROM.
When you get to the .101 ROM
flash .zip provided in recovery
Do not reboot after flashing .zip, in twrp go to power off
Then flash everything in the .ftf with flashtool
Reboot and you should be good.
Also make sure you have the latest flashtool and drivers loaded. Never hurts to check the obvious too like USB debugging..

Thanks it's completed now I got it! Wicked cool features on this.. Now I'm going to read around and get to know all this a little better now that I got this working. :good:.

What steps in the process would I have to omit if I dont want to root and just want to flash 4.3, Also there seems to be many versions of 4.3 such as UK unbranded Ch unbranded. If I'm using it for Tmobile US, which would I choose?

Never mind! Used the UK unbranded and I love it! everything worked nicely! thanks so much for this!

Hey man yeah everything seems to be perfect except for the MMS aspect of my messages. I can't seem to download the MMS messages, the default texting app keeps telling me that "Could not download message. Check settings for multimedia messages and try again later" I tried the APN settings to the forum you directed us too but that's not working =(

Make sure the APN you created is selected and then reboot after.
Make sure LTE (preferred) is selected.
Once verified APN is selected and reboot, go to MMS and long press picture, select download. It should DL after that.
If that doesn't work you can also try to "Service Providers" and there should be an option for a T-Mobile network.
Can also try turning on/off airplane mode, but the APN always works for me.

You have to unlock the bootloader, flash a custom recovery, and flash a kernel that support this mod...
If you don't know how to, is better do anything...

Hey man if you go into development section you will see ElementalX kernal thats whst your looking for. I suggest you go on YouTube and watch a few vids about flashing ROMs etc and remember to always backup before flashing anything. I also suggest you flash a ROM such as TrickDroid as that is compatible with said Kernal

Thanks, I decided to grow a pair and just try it and it was very easy, but i do have a couple of questions, every time you flash a new kernel you have to setup the phone from scratch and re install all apps again? No easier way of doing this?
I was also hoping that this was going to remove the branding on the bootup of the phone but it didnt, and tips on how to remove the branding?
If you're only flashing a kernel it shouldn't let you setup the phone from scratch. Unless of course you're flashing a whole ROM in which should address your other concern about removing the branding.

You must have clicked the factory reset button or any wipe buttons in the recovery. Or the kernel developer must have badly coded the updater-script and enforced a factory reset everytime anyone installs his kernel. Which is not necessary really.
should the branding still be there tho?

Knox: rooting, custom ROMs and kernels

*** AS I SAID EARLIER I WILL UPDATE THIS OP (Original Post) IN ORDER TO REFLECT ANY INFORMATION THAT COULD BE OF INTEREST ON THE SUBJECT ***
Hi there!
I have bought my device a couple week ago and since I did not know about knox, I just allowed Samsung to install the 4.3 update that was pushed to my device.
I have since decided I want a custom ROM on my phone, and when I started researching, I found out pretty quickly that knox may cause issues.
I don't really care about voiding my warranty, because I have now tested the device and made sure it is works, and I'm usually careful about what I flash.
The thing is, I have read so many things about knox that I don't know what's true and what's not. Unfortunately I don't have all the links to everything I've read, but i'll update this OP with the links later (some posts were worth reading and very interesting)
So, what I've read about once you've got knox:
- You cannot get rid of it (everyone pretty much agree on this)
- There are ways to root without tripping knox to 0x1, so you keep your warranty, but what about unrooting? Or do you just flash a stock rom not rooted? I guess you keep the bootloader as it is?
- even flashing stock 4.3 will trip knox (really? always)
- if you have knox, you cannot flash anything below 4.3, even custom ROMs, or you'll have issues with wifi, etc. (this is what I've read somewhere, what seems to be a fact is that if you try to downgrade the bootloaer to anything smaller then you may break wifi and other features)
- and it gets better: once you've got knox, if you flash a 4.4 ROM (custom, of course, since there is no 4.4 stock for our device yet), there's no going back to anything smaller (not even 4.3)
Some of the above statements are clearly facts at the present time, until knox is cracked, if it is ever, but some of it sounds like BS, or at least i hope it is, because otherwise I'm not about to flash anything :-/
And this is just the beginning, I'll keep updating this post, and I'll try to separate fiction from facts. anyway, feel free to comment on these and give me answers if you know things for a fact (no guesses please).
Now I gotta go, sorry!
Cheers,
fa
Edit:
You will find a lot of threads on knox especially in the Galaxy S4 and Note 3 forums. But I guess most of the info on how knox works is valid for our device as well (I9305).
A lot of people seem to place a lot of hope in one of the greatest Android devs: Chainfire.
Here are a few links with info on knox, for those who like to read:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2447832
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2597774
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2569349
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2447832 <== This is actually a thread you want to follow. Very interesting, but there's a lot to read. If a solution comes to get rid of knox, that's probably one of the first places on XDA where they'll talk about it.
It would be great to know if there is hope to see a knox removal tool.
Meanwhile, I see the following different scenarios. Could you share your experience and tell me how it works for you? As answers trickle in, I'll update this post with the answers themselves or links to the posts where the answer is provided:
1) You don't have knox: lucky you, enjoy and DO NOT UPDATE TO 4.3 or flash a 4.3 ROM with knox bootloader, or you will one day regret it!
2) You have knox. So if I got it right, there is no way to change your bootloader, but there are various scenarios:
a) you don't care because you're happy with stock and no root (then keep moving, nothing to see here, I wonder why you are even reading this...)
b) you want to keep your stock ROM and default kernel, but you want to root. I have read many threads where it is said to be possible. WHAT'S THE BEST WAY FOR THIS?
c) you want to keep your stock ROM but you want another kernel: IS THIS POSSIBLE, and if so, WHAT KERNEL WORKS/DOESN'T WORK?
d) you want to get rid of the whole Samsung ROM, so you want to flash a custom recovery (CWM or TWRP) and a custom ROM/Kernel. So what works, and what does knox prevent you to do in that case?
Cheers,
Fa

This is an idea, fabecoool.There would be nothing wrong if someone is responsible for making a guide/tutorial/ to our terminals in version 4.3 Stock with all this questions.There are many people who are lost right now and this would be helpful.
Many people do not know that really brings the version 4.3 and this will help them not to get into trouble.

Flashing stock wont trip knox. Once ur on official 4.4 with new bootloader u wont be able to downgrade no matter where u come from. Knox or no knox. Official 4.4 will have a new bootloader which prevents u from downgrading. Sounds like apple doesnt it. Lol

Thanks hayabusa08,
Do you mean that you won't be able to downgrade to a stock ROM smaller than 4.4, or to a ROM (included custom ROMs) smaller than 4.4.
Anyway, it does sound like Apple indeed.

Well yes, you're lucky. Especially if you care about custom roms, if you do, don't flash official stock 4.3. Even if you like the Samsung UI (touchwiz), I would recommand you find a 4.3 stock without Knox. Just look for it in the forum.

I rooted my phone on 4.1.2, and flashed CM11 through CWM. Does this mean I have kitkat bootloader and can't downgrade to 4.3 roms?
Greetings!
There is a lot of paranoia theme Knox, from my point of view the only problem is the warranty for ODIN and flash an earlier version, I do not see another problem. However, those who want to return to a previous version do through recovery, I've done it many times and have not had any problems (have a look at my signature) those ZIP'S I've modified to share. Try!

[Q] Xperia T protoype WIFI and Radio issues

The problem: Xperia T prototype (0044 IMEI) will not run stable on most stock firmwares. WIFI only works with the ICS stock WIFI module (7.0.A.1.303 FW or flashing module to other firmwares). Also, baseband and IMEI is blanked out in settings. The radio is not working at all.
So after testing a lot of firmwares and roms (I must've flashed this phone 3,8 billion times by now...), this is the result:
NONE of the stock firmwares I've tried (almost all of them I think...) help
CM 10 seems to be working completely. At least radio and WIFI are fine for now.
CM10.1 and 11: WIFI working, baseband and IMEI are shown, I can scan networks, but can not register in any network.
CM10 is using Baseband 8960A-AAAAANAZQ-10015019-33, while 10.1 and 11 use 8960A-AAAAANAZQ-10015031-47.
So far so good (boy was I happy when I was able to dial a number in CM10!!!).
Now I would like to get a stock ROM working.
The question: How will I get the stock ROMs working? I would have to find out what CM is using that stock isn't. I'm actually quite confused about the fact that even the oldest stock (7.0.A.1.303, couldn't find any older one) would not work, while CM 10 will.
steeserious said:
I read that some people here are using LT30p prototypes without issues and I'm wondering if any of you guys can help me getting there too.
When I got the phone, it was basically a mess. Service Menu will FC when trying to open configuration, loads of FCs here and there...it wouldn't wake up when the screen turns off, the WIFI wasn't working, Radio not working at all...
I was able to solve WIFI and FC by installing PACMAN v.23. This was mentioned on another forum.
So I'm wondering about the modules, lib, baseband etc that's used in there. Maybe someone can shed some light.
PACMAN shows this baseband: 8960A-AAAAANAZQ-10015031-47
WIFI is also working with 7.0.A.1.303 ICS and 7.0.A.3.223 ICS. Flashing the stock ICS WIFI module to other firmware versions fixes WIFI.
While I can search for networks in PM, I cannot log on to any of them. On stock the phone will detect when a SIM card is inserted and will reboot. After reboot, it will say there's no SIM card installed though.
Also, PAC will show the IMEI in the settings, all the stock firmwares don't.
@godfather4her: I'll mention you here since you might have some info on this .

Did some more testing and updated first post. Radio is finally working with CM 10.
I didn't mention that some of the stock firmwares use the same baseband as the one in CM10, that doesn't help though.
Also, coming from CM10 and flashing stock without baseband doesn't help.
This thread has had 150 views so far, but no responses. I know this might not be the usual problems that people have to deal with, but someone surely must have an idea

well u had the gut to unlock bootloader in order to run a custom rom like CM or Pacmac...etc... i didn't have because my phone is still under warranty and unlocking BL will void it.. that's why i sent to sony for a repair.
but i was wondering why you're using a prototype in the first place?
well i guess it's for devs or testing purposes, and it might be not the same like the official release. you're still lucky to have it detecting radio and wifi, because of a working Baseband and IMEI... refer that to sony by asking them to which country your phone was branded, then from that, get a hold on the initial firmware came installed in ur phone, might be some differences from SI(sale info) to another.
go to sony support, if u would like to either make a live chat with an agent or place a call, and ask them about your phone info as i told you. they would just request the imei number, then they will give u all the information u need about ur phone.
at least this will help you get to the correct stock u need to flash (hopefully to bring the radio functionality on).
good luck bro!
Well, ebay...you never know what you get
I didn't buy a prototype on purpose. It would be kinda foolish to spend money on a phone when you don't know whether you'll get it working again. Even though I have to admit that I appreciate the challenge
Prototypes are not supported at all. No warranty, no nothing. Of course I tried to get some information out of the support guys, but as I expected, that was a dead end.
I recently got Xperia T prototype as you said (IMEI 0044**). Can you tell me did you find anything more? I bought it with not working GSM and working WiFi. I tried to install stock firmware and now I don't have GSM neither WiFi?
What did you do? What should I do?
PS: I managed to get it working with CM10 rom
I have xt prototype and i installed 9.2.a.0.205 central european version and all is working normally. Try that version. And battery life is great.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find any more info or get any more help here. The only system that's working properly so far is CM10.

Lucky you.
There are prototypes that seem to have slightly different hardware. I've heard from other people having XT protos that are running just fine on most, if not all firmware. Unfortunately, mine is not one of those.
Stock firmware. No root, locked bl.

Damm...wrong button..well, ok, you have tnx now
Use rom thread to ask something related to it.
But yes, you should use bin folder for 6909, you probably don't have right files.
Ask on thread and guys will help you, someone will have same device..
Sent from my C6903 using Tapatalk
im less then 10 posts i cant post on the development threads
so thats why i posted here, i tried a 6906 ftf and it didnt work, figured out gps and mobile network are not working.
great rom tho i like it i just want it to work correctly
After read the posts above, I decided to ask before do anything...
My Z1 is C6943, and I was thinking if this ROM will work if I flash the C6943 kernel after flash the ROM.
They said "We only support c6902 and c6903, you can try it but we give no guarantee". So, here I am... and the question is: It will work??? or I'll have the same problems with mobile data and GPS and possibly other things?
In another scenario, what if I flash via flashtools the C6903 kernel after flash the ROM?
im gonna just wait till they support 6906 , went to the evo black rom so i could get my internet back,
wtb a paranoid android rom for locked bootloaders zz

YES!!! Is there a light!!!
I just Installed the ROM a few minutes ago, and everyhting is working!
That is what I did:
First off all, I wipe the phone under Wipe/Factory reset.
Installed the ROM from external SD Card, and then POWER OFF instead reboot.
Holding volume down, I plug the USB and then flashed the stripped FTF for C6943.
Now I have the ROM working, with GPS, Mobile Data, WIFI, NFC and everything else.
Don't know yet if I have something with misbehavior, because I did it 10 minutes ago.
Well, is it. Thanks!!!
GREAT
Someone else who follows the instructions and is so surprised it works he has to share how he did it...and basically quotes the install instructions...

Hi gregbradley, first of all, I have to say thank you...
I follow your posts and I see every day your effort to help people like me.
I know your acknowledgement about many many things, and it helps me to clarify a LOT of doubts without even PM you or even ask silly question, even when I know that you can be ironic and a little rude sometime. (I'm saying by me, about my perceptions)
About your comment I want to say 3 things:
1 Yes, I shared how I did it, if you read my posts above, you will see that I was afraid to be on a boot loop after flash the ROM, or don't have mobile data and other functionalities after that.
2 Yes, I basically quote the install instructions to show how easy was the installation for those who want to do the same. Spread the word is what I believe.
And
3 It's not my first android phone that I root, install custom ROMs, flash kernels, etc... I just want to prevent to do something wrong and transform my phone in a beautiful piece of nothing...
Again, thank you for all your support on XDA forums, and I'm sure that you makes this place better and better everyday.
Well said, and I apologise if you thought I was being rude, that was not my intention

[Q] [Stock ROM] moto X 1052 Retail EU 4.4.4

Hi,

can any one post stock for my moto x 1052 Retail EU versions 4.4.4.
:crying:
Thanks

I'm not sure that the files have been released for manual flashing yet.
Can you be more specific on the current state of your device... It's wiped and unusable? What have you tried flashing exactly? Did you try to flash an older version of android?
And what All have you tried to do.
And what version were you on before all this?
And how were you rooted exactly?
Just trying to see the whole picture here. Need all this info to really help... Hopefully.
At this point, you may be waiting until the files are out for flashing.... Unless your answers to these questions change something. ?

I suggest you not do anything else until you've researched this a bit more.
No, you can't downgrade safely. You could brick your device trying, or later by taking an OTA.
I don't, and many others, ever suggest downgrading. It's very dangerous and has left many with serious problems, or even unusable devices.
That said. Why are you trying to unroot exactly?
Also... You can only flash the 4.4.4 files now. They probably aren't available yet so you will need to be patient. If CM is working for you now, that's great.... But you may be stuck like that until the SBF files are out for 4.4.4....then you can flash it with RSDLite or fastboot.
I don't see you have any other safe options.

How many phones have you bricked? I'm sorry, but I remember many of your posts with big problems in the past. You seem to ignore most advice. No offense intended.... But it's true.
Cause this one will brick if you ever take an ota. Practically guaranteed.
Hope you realize that? ?
Also.... Everyone gets lucky occasionally.... But the X section is filled with threads from people who didn't get lucky.
So please never recommend anyone try it. You don't want to be responsible for them being unlucky and destroying their toy. Right? ?

i don t recommend it like we speak in another thread.
i just tell that this is possible.
i bricked the device for others reasons and not for downgrade.
but like u say if the people don t know how to do it or what s the risk to do it : DON T DOWNGRADE.

You have a fitting user name. ?
Seriously, with some people not knowing what they are doing... And with communication misunderstandings due to language barriers and what not...
If someone asks you can they safely downgrade.... Just say no. ?
Cause it's never safe. You're adventure isn't necessarily over either.... If you take an ota accidentally or on purpose... You might be phone shopping. ?
That's all I'll say on that.
