Firmware 4.4 unexpected reboots - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So far I've gotten 3-4 unexpected reboots on the new 4.4 firmware. Using different apps and the phone suddenly stops responding. Nothing works, not even the hardware buttons. Then after some seconds the phone just reboots.
Anyone else experiencing this?

I did. I had unlocked the bootloader and was running Cyanogenmod before. Did a complete wipe (data + cache) then re-locked the bootloader in order to let Sony PC Companion "repair" the phone by doing a complete reset.
If this keeps up I'll go back to Cyanogenmod.

Did you restore apps using titanium backup or any other app?

No, setup everything from scratch again.

Hmm... Strange then. Maybe it's something else that's causing this problem.

Backup & Restore

Running completely stock C6602 and after a successful backup I can't get the restore to actually restore all the third party apps. Anyone else had that issue? It takes a while restoring ny videos and pics then the app just closes and I am missing 5-6 apps.

Haven't tried it myself. But you can always re-flash the ROM you have using the flashtool and still keep the data and settings.

I realize that but that's not what I am trying to do. Want to be able to restore apps/data after a factory reset or wipe.

I have the C6506 and had the same issue. If I downloaded the app that was missing from the market than backup & restore would restore the app data for the app.
When I did a back up with PC companion it wouldn't restore any of the apps. I had to use Google back up to restore the apps and than the stupid back up software restored the app data.

Have you followed the proper installation instructions on every ROM you tested? (wiping Data and other partitions)
Do you also get the freezes when connected to your charger?

thanks for your reply!
i install new rom following way
1.enter into recovery
2.format data
3.wipe cache
4.wipe partitions
5.wipe delvic cache
How about when the charger is connected? It may be your battery that is screwed up. Or maybe some rogue app that is consuming your resources.

Try to restore the smallest number of apps possible, always reinstall them from the play store. And NEVER restore system apps.
This should keep you free of your problems.

[Q] Downgrade to .434?

Hi,
My first post here on XDA! I have a Generic NL .253 Rom (without root, BL locked) flashed on my Z. I want to downgrade it to version .434 so I can root my phone. The problem is, everytime I try to flash it with flashtool, whenever my phone boots up, I get a message saying it's upgrading NFC, then it suddenly reboots. This happens over and over (kind of like a bootloop). I have tried several .FTF files. Also, I don't want to do a clean flash, I have made several backups but I'm afraid they don't live up to my 'backup'-standards. Does anyone know a fix for this?
Thanks in advance!

Hey, thanks for you reply. Yes, I can. I reflashed my old .253 Generic NL software in between trying other .434 files and it still works fine.
The problem with the .434 is that my phone does boot, but it never properly boots, you know what I mean? It keeps on resetting, and displaying the 'NFC updating' message. Any ideas?

I can start up my phone with .253 firmware, but not really with .434 ('semi-bootloop due to 'NFC update')

I'm actually having the exact same issue. I would like to downgrade so I can regain root. I have a feeling to fix the boot loop we would have to wipe the phone. I'm just deciding if I want to try that yet as it sucks redoing everything and the phone is running so good.

Yeah exactly, the backup options are fairly limited since I haven't rooted it yet, and I kinda feel there should be a way around this loop
without having to wipe all my data..
i suggest wipe. it should work when downgrading.. i hope it will work on you both as i downgrade my z after updating to .253 and i dont have any bootloop issues...
Which backup do you think is the best? Pc companion/the pre installed 'backup and recovery' app/Carbon/adb full backup? Does any of these guarantee a full backup? I want to be sure before I try..

I always trust Titanium Backup. Keep all my apps and important settings through several android phones over a few years already.

.434 can be rooted either bin4ry or doomlords method.. and .253 can achieve root using nuts method or wawyed..
So it's possible to root .253 without having rooted before? Did not know that, I will look into that, thanks! This must be new since like today or yesterday, haha

Pre installed backup and recovery works great if you're not rooted. Just make sure to check all boxes to backup. Store backup on computer, wipe, flash, root 253 then restore.

I had exactly the same problem and the only solution was downgrade to .434 with a full wipe!
Everything else I tried ended in restart because of the NFC update.
I could restore my system, because I rooted .434 after the clean install,
updated to .253 from [nut] and restored only the data partition from my last nandroid with recovery.
Then everything was as before and works fine.
But trust me, the only solution is downgrading with a full wipe! :good:
Did you try flash kernel/ otakernel from the .434 with flashtool if not try then
I will skip that update (cannot even get it from Sony PC Companion) so wait for 4.2
I dont use NFC and don't need whitebalance calibration.

When it's at 6% or when it reboots, can you identify which app is being restored?

[Q] My new nexus won't start correctly

kal eh said:
Hello, I'm pretty much new to the android scene therefore excuse me for my stupidness on this field
I unlocked my nexus 6, then I rooted it and and then I flashed a custom rom (Euphoria 1.0) with WugFresh's Tool.
Yesterday I tried installing adaway and gave it full root permissions, it asked me to reboot and I did so.
After rebooting I realized that I can't unlock my phone nor do anything else except using the pull down notification bar and having a back button, no middle button nor right button.. The screen just remains black. I tried rebooting in recovery mode but nothing changes.
What do I've to do now?
The device doesn't show up as MTP.
When I enter TWRP now it asks me for a password??
I've a Nandroid backup saved on my HDD and I still have the custom rom ZIP saved as well.

Reset your entire phone by flashing the factory image. This can be done with the wugs toolkit as well.

It depends. If your phone doesn't work at the moment because something is wrong in the rom, the chance of the same thing happening could happen again. You can try restoring your nandroid and see if that fixes your problem. If not going back to stock is the best way to fix your problem.
