Hi,
My cousin recently broke her screen, she gave password to the service guys because they needed it and she was in trouble because her mom checked her phone. (Xperia j) I'm wondering - isn't it enough to flash an FTF to delete the password?... I'd test it on my phone, but when it isn't going to need the password I'll have to reroot again.
Thanks.

Flashing is enough.

Doesn't it show sth like failed to flash password needed?

No flashmode is before all that so it won't matter if there is any type of password on it, just do what you'd do for an FTF, it'll work.
Flashtool will tell you that you're in the correct mode.
Thanks for clarification guys, you've saved me at least an hour of reflashing

I am in a little trouble as I did try rom by auras76 and I got into a bootloop. Could anybody guide me through the process of changing the dpi of the softkeys or being able to temporarily hide them?
I'm at .290 and I wouldn't like to lose any data.
Also TA backup was made and I wouldn't like to unlock my bootloader.
Is that possible? I'm sorry to ask this kind of question but Z1 forum is incredibly cluttered...

I am using "Auto hide soft key" and it is awsome for me because I changed 4.5 inch screen to 5!! :-S

But you'll need root

Well, could anybody actually answer my question? If I'd have root then I wouldn't post this thread but I'd install LMT... So this is how this clutter is created...

So today I have received an OTA update to the newest .201 firmware. I tap install, it downloads and turns off as usual, progress bar shows up and on second dot when progress bar is in the half, the updating stops and phone turns on. What is wrong?

An unlocked bootloader perhaps?
No. It's locked ;/

Do you have a recovery installed?
@XspeedPL
Yes, I had recovery, but I uninstalled it because I thought it was problem, but not, it's still the same ;/ I have CE1 rom.

Instead of OTA update, you tried updating through Sony update service or PC companion?
@spp85
No, because I want to keep root.
Wysłane z mojego C5303 przy użyciu Tapatalka
Perhaps (not entirely sure ofcourse) is that the cause / issue?
You mean that root is causing this problem? If it won't work then I will eventually update via PC Companion.

Are you using Xposed? Because that caused the update failed when I updated to .254 OTA
Nope. I don't use Xposed framework. I'm out of ideas ;/ Looks Iike I will have to unlock bootloader once again to root to .201

Hello guys,
I actually wanted to get that double tap to wake and pac/aokp on my z1. I was on 4.4. Did the backups, unlocked the bootloader. I flashed pimp my z1 kernel via twrp. Then I flashed aokp. Imei lost. Same thing for pac. I even tried restoring all partitions from backup and since I was on UB it shouldn't be a problem,right?
Well, even though I restored stock rooted rom which worked perfectly fine before I still did not have the imei.
I went back to stock.534 for now.
Do you guys have any tips for me? Im out of ideas on a crappy rom and I'd really love to get pac/aokp or any other custom rom that is cm based.
Sorry for typos. Writing with stock Sony keyboard is a pain.

If you were trying everything, so you lost your IMEI for ever.

I'm not getting a simlock and I got my imei back. The problem is that if I flash custom kernel with custom rom my imei is gone.

yes, that thread explains how to properly port the rom so you don't lose IMEI or get simlock
which custom roms are you flashing, please provide the links to the thread.
I've tried 2 so far. Both with the kernel provided with rom and with pimped kernel.

Thank you for your interest.
are you on c6903 or c6902?
I know your tapatalk says c6903 but that could have changed depending on your build.prop
Did you flash the c6902 modem packages from both of those roms or not?
I'm using C6903. I'm positive about it.

Nope. I'm using C6903 I don't think that's a good idea to flash C6903 modules on it or is it?

Those packages are for c6902
It might be worth a go. You may have an actual c6902 handset (Check the box and/or SI number) that is now reporting its c6903 due to a build.prop entry
Try it, you can always flash back to stock FTF as you did last time.
Greg, honestly. I'm using C6903. That's written on a box, on that small thing that slides out of the phone and I can use LTE network without a problem. It's a 100% C6903.
I'll do that though, but I don't think that this will change anything.
Wysłane z mojego C6903 przy użyciu Tapatalka
OK, if you are 100% sure, don't flash the modules
I will have a think and get back to you
I am about to go out with the kids for a long walk
Speak soon
Thank you. Hopefully we will sort it out.

Never do an OTA with an unlocked bootloader, it explicitly says so on the Sony website where you unlock your bootloader.
EDIT, you relocked, that's good.
Which FTF can you flash and get an IMEI working again

Yeah i know. I double checked if my bootloader is relocked before updating.

.534 FTF gives me back my IMEI. Havent checked anything else yet. I do need a working phone function.
I restored my previous backup and flashed stock kernel via ftf and I'm back to where I previously was (except that all of the contents of internal memory is gone)

Update to stock android 4.4 kitkat using SUS or PC Companion or Flashtool (your choice, no difference) then unlock bootloader and do what you want.
I remember when I used to downgrade from android 4..3 (.290) to 4.2 (.534) I used to loose my IMEI. Unless, downgrading to .257 then to .534 So maybe you should get stock android 4.4 before you try 4.4 custom ROM & Kernel
