is their any way to fix the issue of camera stoppage on Nutt method of rooting and installed 4.4.2 kitkat update.... Nutt told three solutions
You have 3 things to try to fix it, try them one at a time:
Clear dalvik-cache only;
Clear the camera app settings;
Do a factory reset in TWRP or PhilZ (this should keep your internal storage safe);
flash the ROM package again;
boot until you can test the camera;
If it works go back to recovery to restore a backup of data.
and unfortunately i tries everyone but still issue is thier..... can anyone knows how to fix it....
Before posting your replies please remember that i have lost DRM keys in back and got fixed camera issue by Sony 4.3 update....
any developer or NUTT please help me out
Hi, did you read this? Read this please, if the problem is like mine was, i copied what you have to do
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2706426
Did you make a TA-Partition Backup BEFORE unlocking the bootloader? If yes- Just restore it & you are fine.
If not, thats what you have to do/what i did to make it work.
First of all NOT STRIPPED ftf`s becasue it is only the kernel as far as i know. You have to download the whole original rom which is about 1gb.
+Edit. Do not exclude any options in Flashtool like Ta, kernel or anything else !!!! Just choose your ftf and flash!
First flash original 290. FTF with your branding (for me it was vodafone)
The camera should work there. If yes continue.
Flash original 681. ftf with your branding if possible.
The cam should work there too. If yes continue.
Now you are good to go, put your custom rom on SD Card-
Flash custom kit kat kernel/or stock with recovery
Boot into CWM and flash your Rom. Your Cam should work.

how can i get original Zip file of .681 of my brand... i downloaded NUTT given Zip file from there....i have installed .136 now and camera is working fine but i wanna update to kitkat ....

First of all, I'd like to apologize to start this open question.
It looks like everyone is getting their phone working without any much extra tutorial required along with the XDA forum guides and ROM.
I used to be a Samsung Galaxy S2 user from months ago.It took me 5 days to have my S2 Rooted and another 5days to have a stable ROM, as I was a noob back there and still a noob till now at the time I am writing or as you are reading this post.
Frankly, I'm actually lost here. I tried to visit all the links within the first 3 pages to find out how to get my phone rooted with CWM ready and getting a stable ROM on my phone without having to hassle back and forth.
Please forgive me for my noobie. I'd like to write this post and ask for your instruction and suggestion in step by step.
How to have my Xperia Z1 CWM ready and rooted with a stable ROM preferably KitKat.
In advance and regards to your times, I'd like to hand a big thump up :good: for any share and help bestow of your comment.
Cheers, :fingers-crossed:

If you want to keep your warranty , the best way would be the following:
1) Use this guide to get root and recovery on stock .290 firmware : http://youtu.be/1aq9YTlfCgc
2) Once you have root, you will be able to back up your TA partition (DRM keys)
-if you don't know any terms or are confused look here: http://youtu.be/l78p_2ShPS0
3) Now that you have your TA backup safe you can go to official Sony website to unlock your bootloader: http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/
4) Choose a custom rom that you want, flash kernel and rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z1/orig-development
If you ever want to get back to stock. Use Flashtool to flash stock firmware, restore TA, relock bootloader.
Never attempt to restore TA on custom ROM - this will brick your device
If you don't care about warranty and don't mind loosing Bravia Engine, X-reality, Bionz etc forever; do the following:
1) unlock bootloader
2)Choose a custom rom that you want, flash kernel and rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z1/orig-development
1) Download the .ftf file named C6903 14.1.G.1.534 Global 1277-2880_R4A from the compiled FTF thread at this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2469191
This is a version of the original Stock Rom that the VROOT program will actually work on when trying to ROOT your phone.
2) Flash the ROM you downloaded using Flashtool (steps on how you can go about doing that should be in the Xperia Z1 General forum.) and now, you're ready to root your phone with it.
3) Download, install and run VROOT to root your phone. Again, more information on how to properly root your phone using VROOT can be found in the Xperia Z1 General forum. For me, I just turned on USB Debugging on my Z1, connected my phone to my computer while VROOT was running and clicked the green button until I got root access. It's extremely easy.
4) With Root Access, now you can download and install Dual Recovery for the Xperia Z1 on your phone.
5) Download the latest iHackers 2.0 ROM from the Xperia Z1 Android Development thread and copy it to your phone. This is hands down, the best ROM for the Xperia Z1 right now in terms of battery life. With the latest 4.3 update, I'm able to get over 2 Days worth of battery life on one charge. Battery life is much better on the new iHackers 2.0 ROM running Android 4.3.
6) Download the flashable Locked Dual Recovery for the Xperia Z1 here. http://nut.xperia-files.com/
The file is called XZ-lockeddualrecovery2.7.63-BETA.flashable.zip (8.48MB), download it and copy it to your phone, preferably the same place you copied the iHackers 2.0 ROM. To make things easier for yourself, create a new folder on your phone or SD Card in your phone and name it iHackers. Copy both the iHackers 2.0 ROM and the flashable Locked Dual Recovery.zip file into this folder.
7) With both files now copied to a folder on your phone, you're now ready to go into recovery to flash the iHackers 2.0 ROM. Boot into recovery and once you're there, do a Wipe Data/Factory Reset before Installing the ROM.
The rest of these steps are now taken directly from the iHackers 2.0 download thread on the Xperia Z1 Android Development forum.
8) Install the ROM and THEN Dual Recovery. Don't make the same mistake I did, once the installer is finished, DON'T REBOOT THE DEVICE. Uncheck the "Reboot Device" box and go back to recovery to install the flashable Dual Recovery.zip file that's in the iHackers 2.0 folder.
9) Switch Off Your Phone (Do Not Reboot). Select No to Disable Flash Recovery Confirmation.
10) Install Kernel.ftf for C6903 (.290) or Kernel.ftf for C6902 (.290) with Flashtool to get compatible Kernel and Baseband. To download the kernel.ftf file, go to the original iHackers 2.0 thread to download and flash the kernel using Flashtool. You should be familiar with Flashtool at this point since if you make it to this step, you've already used Flashtool once to flash the .534 baseband version of Android.
11) Reboot and Enjoy. Now you're running the latest version of Android 4.3 on your Xperia Z1 on a Locked Bootloader WITH full Root Access. Sure, it's not the stock version but the iHackers 2.0 version of Android 4.3 is just as good, if not better. This will certainly do until there's a better way to simply root the newest Stock Version of Android 4.3.
Step by Step Guide made by @x016x so Thanks him, and Me, because I posted here.
You can flash the latest z1 dual recovery, not only 2.7.63.

Hi,
I have upgraded from CM 10.2 to a CM 11 nightly. (Android 4.4.2)
After the upgrade, the cyanogenmod "device wizard" says, no sim card detected. But before, I have entered my pin code :S
After the wizard is finished, I haven't any signal.
I have unlocked my bootloader.
I have done a factory reset
I tried to manually add an APN
Nothing works. Please help!
On CM10.2 the camera didn't work properly. On 11, it works fine.
That's the reason, why I want to upgrade.
Kind Regards,
Vincent
Missing IMEI by the sounds of it. there are a few issues when switching between 4.2 and 4.3/4.4.
you could try and flash [NUT]'s stripped FTF from his rom thread (you may have to re-flash CM after that)
if that fails then you will have to:
flash .290 or .136 ftf (and see if it returns) if not then
flash [NUT]'s 532 ftf
upgrade to .136 ftf
install recovery
flash CM11
either way have a read of this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2593918

Um, forgive me. I forgot I was in the Z1 forum not the Z-Ultra section. The steps will be the same (more or less) but the file names will be different and I have very little idea about the different Z1 versions.

I own an S3 LTE i9305 which is COMPLETELY STOCK with Android version 4.1.2 and I was planning on getting a Custom ROM on it
I have been doing a lot of reading on the different procedures and what all to Install and quite honestly I am getting a bit confused. So I am just gonna jot down the entire procedure of what I have understood. I would really like to have some help from experienced members to let me know if I am going wrong somewhere
1. Rooting: Flashing the CF-AutoRoot file using Odin while the phone is in Download mode<<>> There are 2 files on https://autoroot.chainfire.eu/ for my phone, one is for 4.1.1 and the other is for 4.4.4. Not sure which one to go for. Also I have downloaded Odin3_v3.09
2. Flashing CWM: after rooting I will want to flash CWM the file for which is http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.7-i9305.img using Odin while the phone is in Download mode
3. Flashing ROM: I am sort of interested in this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development-i9305/rom-miui-v6-smooth-faster-ota-t3097018 so I will downloaded the latest ROM file from the given download link and flash it using Odin while the phone is in Download mode
Before performing any of the above I will perform the procedure given here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...warning-guide-backup-restore-imei-nv-t1946915
Also I have checked under Settings>Security>Device admins> There is no KNOX thingy
Also I have question about this GApps, what package should I go for and is it flashed in the same way?
Also how shall I make a backup image of my phone so that I can restore it in its current state if something goes wrong?
Thank you!

Hi,
1. Use the 4.1.1 file. Your bootloader is the older one, the other file is for knox
2. Not sure about that cwm file. It is .img file; AFAIK you need a .tar file. Check this thread for more info and the .tar file HERE
3. When you download the rom file, it is a .zip. You will need to flash this once you reboot into the cwm recovery you installed in step 2, after doing the recommended wipes from the OP of the rom you want. (Recovery mode not download mode)
Gapps - choose a package from HERE You need a 4.4.x package(if you install the rom you mentioned). I like minimal gapps by @jajb, but up to you
You can make a nandroid backup from the cwm recovery, but I would recommend downloading the stock firmware from sammobile.com from your region as a backup
Good idea backing up efs folder btw. I would recommend that to everyone

Right so a couple of minutes ago I have successfully rooted the phone (verified via Root checker) and I have also successfully flashed CWM (verified by entering recovery mode)
So now before I flash my ROM the question I have is. Do I have to transfer the ROM to an SD card then install it Via SDCard? Also how do I flash the GApps? Via SDcard or ODin?
Also technical points aside which ROM do you suggest is lightweight and good for i9305? There really are a lot of ROMs I am having a hard time selecting one

You only need the recovery to flash from now unless you need to install the stock firmware. Just install the .zip files for the rom and gapps to the external sd card if you have one, or to the phone storage(just don't format internal sdcard when you do your wipes)
For the rom you could try Slimkat 4.4.4 It's nice and stable and lightweight(I haven't tried slimsaber in the same thread)
Generally if you want stability, then kitkat or earlier android versions would be what I would recommend. Lollipop builds at the moment still have a few bugs such as gps or mms etc not working properly for some users
And generally the non touchwiz roms are more "lightweight" but the TW roms have some of the features from the stock roms(samsung features).

Thanx for that. Before you made this reply I already flashed the Resurrection Remix ROM along with the Minimal GApp that you mentioned. SO far its running good. Theres slight lags that my eyes are picking up but since I am open to experimenting with my current S3 LTE before I get an Asus Zenfone 2, I dont mind the Beta builds.
After flashing the ROM and Gapps I also ran the Bloatware remover script which worked fine. Installed Google music and Cabinet beta along with Google chrome from Play store. However I miss the search bar that used to be on my homepage for quick googling, any idea how I can get that? I dont see it in the widgets or anywhere else in the phone

Hi, I'm currently in stock rooted .157 firmware with some mods installed (xposed)
i want to upgrade to .368 firmware without formating losing data on my phone and keep apps installed
maybe i'll need to re-root the phone and upgrade some modules to the lp version
any way to do this ? i really don't want to formate /data and reinstall all from the begining
any advice is welcomed
EDIT:
i want to upgrade with a stock rooted ftf file
most xposed mods for 157, which is kitkat, will not work after upgrading to lollipop, because framework is different. so, basically, you have no co chance for most of them. but for other android apps, you can use titanium back up
Ehm I'm pretty sure that there are no rooted ftf files
The rooted ones are zips and those are installed in recovery
Flashtool and ftf are used for flashing stock, therefore not rooted files
Unless your bootloader is unlocked. If it is you can flash custom kernel with recovery

I insist you to do a clean install otherwise you may encounter many bugs and errors.You can save your data through TiBu.

Sent from my Xperia Z1
I had problems of phone rebooting automatically and showing emc-read error and cannot boot normally and had to remove battery to start my canadian note 4 W8
the way i fixed this **** is by reverting back to 5.0.1 bootloader
the newest bootloader is the cause of all problems for us
you cannot roll back to the old bootloader just by flashing an old bootloader
but luckily i have found a trick to revert back to a older bootloader to replace **** COK3 (Newest for canadian ) bootloader
So to actually roll back to old boot loader you need a full firmware which has capability to format internal storage when it is flashed
i had a 5.1.1 firmware tar but it did not have the capability of formatting internal storage when it is flashed
But i lucky found a older 5.0.1 tar in my harddisk that has the capability which enabled me to go back to old baseband and bootloader and formatted internal storage and now everything fine
Phone flying as before without any reboots emc read error or lags (i think the reason why this tar worked and back flashed the boot loader is because it formatted the internal storage while the tar was being executed)
just to be extra cautious,once you have old boot loader flash recovery and wipe system,cache,dalvik and internal storage
*IMP GO TO WIPE>FORMAT DATA AND TYPE YES
*MAKE SURE TO RE-FLASH JUST 5.1.1 BASEBAND FOR NOTE 5 PORTS AND CM12.1/13 TO HAVE NETWORK
Attaching the error i had and pic of my current setup
FOR PEOPLE WHO STILL CANNOT DOWNGRADE BOOT LOADER YOU CAN TRY PARTITIONING YOU INTERNAL MEMORY TO FIX READ WRITE ERRORS
LINK OF THE FIRMWARE I USED

Canadians having same issue can now flash this firmware to go back to 5.0.1 bootloader
*i think this would work for Tmobile users too but i am not sure about the risks of cross flashing
i checked my 5.0.1 and 5.1.1 tars and they both have same files so i cant tel which tar you should download for internal storage to be formatted
my most educated guess would be try and download early 5.0.1 builds as samsung must have implemented formatting internal storage when from kitkat to lollipop uograde
And odin 3.10.7

U need the full firmware with internal storage wiping capability to return to older bootloader
I will do one thing to help everyone out
Either i will track down the link to download the 5.0.1 firmware i used
Or
I will upload the full 1.7 gb tar firmware
Till then find a older 5.0.1 firmware for your model and try it

I tried that. Still didn't work. And I have a pretty old copy of 5.0.1. I think it has to do with how T-Mobile/Samsung pushed security policy's to this device. I read up where the last ones actually prevent downgrades.

Tmobile roms work out of the box for canadian note 4
But bootloader is on a whole another level
U can easily flash another baseband if phones gets busted but i dont know about bootloader
If you are in warrenty you should give it a try

It might but u shld download the BEO2 equivalent for tmobile
I don't know if I have this problem or not. A few days ago I installed "[N910TUVU2DOK2] Debloated-Deodexed Stock ROM[Dec-18-2015]" along with TWRP recovery. It has seemed to be OK, but I did have a couple of unexpected random reboots. Today while using the phone, it just froze. It did not reboot. After battery pull, I tried to get into recovery, but nothing but short vibrations every 10 seconds or so.
I have not seen any messages about emmc_. The screen remained black entirely. I was unable to get into download mode or recovery mode. When I plugged in with USB, I was able to get it to recognized on USB and in Odin, but had not idea what mode it was in since the screen was black.
After letting it sit a while, I tried again, and was able to boot into recovery. From there, I was able to reboot into Andriod, and everything seems to be normal again.
Is this the same issue? Should I revert the bootloader? If so, what is the correct bootloader for the TMO Note4 N910TUVU2DOK2 ? I have stock ROM for 5.0.1 (N910TUVU1COD6_N910TTMB1COD6_N910TUVU1COD6_HOME.tar.md5) which contains the file boot.img. But in the first post it says it is not possible to simply flash boot.img with Odin?
The required procedure is this?
1) Flash the 5.01 stock firmware N910TUVU1COD6_N910TTMB1COD6_N910TUVU1COD6_HOME.tar.md5 (including the desired bootloader)
2) Boot into stock firmware
3) Select Factory Reset (to execute the data wipe capability in 5.0.1)
4) Shut down and boot into download mode.
5) Flash TWRP
6) Flash 5.1.1 N910TUVU2DOK2 (previously modified to remove boot.img from the tar.md5 file?)
( would this step 6 cause the full functionality of 5.1.1 to be available, but with the non-broken bootloader?)

As i said before
just flashing the bootloader doesnt work
U need the full firmware with internal storage wiping capability to return to older bootloader
I will do one thing to help everyone out
Either i will track down the link to download the 5.0.1 firmware i used
Or
I will upload the full 1.7 gb tar firmware
Till then find a older 5.0.1 firmware for your model and try it

Hmm, it's not quite that simple. Just installing 5.0.1 would leave you downgraded to 5.0.1.
There are reasons to move to 5.1.1 (if it works right), so we're trying to determine how to get the BL from 5.0.1 and everything else from 5.1.1.

you can flash the 5.0.1 firmware now and then flash a 5.1.1 custom rom
so the bootloader version doesnt matter as long as its lollipop
but for baseband you need 5.1.1 baseband for 5.1.1 roms to have network

OK, when I flash the 5.1.1 custom ROM, wouldn't that put the bad boodloader back int?
If I want to end up on 5.1.1 N910TUVU2DOK2, Is this procedure correct?
1) Flash the 5.01 stock firmware N910TUVU1COD6_N910TTMB1COD6_N910TUVU1COD6_HOME.tar .md5 (including the desired bootloader)
2) Boot into stock firmware
3) Select Factory Reset (to execute the data wipe capability in 5.0.1)
4) Shut down and boot into download mode.
5) Flash TWRP
6) Flash 5.1.1 N910TUVU2DOK2 (previously modified to remove boot.img from the tar.md5 file?)
( would this step 6 cause the full functionality of 5.1.1 to be available, but with the non-broken bootloader?)
Questions:
1) Why is the bootloader causing problems with random reboots? During the boot process it corrupts memory?
2) is the problem in internal memory or EXT-SD or both?
3) does the 5.1.1 bootloader continue to corrupt the memory? I.E. if the memory corruption was repaired by other means, would it soon be corrupted again by the bootloader?
4) The T-Mobile 5.1.1 stock ROM has been out since August. This seems like a huge bug. Nobody has seen this issue until now? Or is it specific to rooted devices or the Beastmode kernel?

boot loader is the problem
i was using an older version of 5.1.1 bootloader for months and everything was fine but as soon as i upgraded to latest, i started having problems
internal and ext are both fine but just to be safe and start fresh i recommend formatting internal storage
boot loader was not executing internal memory properly hence all the errors,older bootloaders are perfect and you wont face any problems
i haven't faced a single problem in 2 days
there are many versions of 5.1.1 stock roms with different names but i think the latest once is the culprit, so stay away from 5.1.1 recent builds and only flash 5.1.1 base band but try to keep 5.0.1 boot loader.
your procedure seems about right but my tar automatically executed internal memory format and not just factory reset
those are two different things
factory reset formats /data
internal memory formats /system /data /cache etc
so if you tar doesnt support inernal mem format
my suggestion would be to install twrp after 5.0.1 flash and go to wipe>advanced and wipe internal storage
dont flash 5.1.1 again unless you are sure its bootloader is working properly
you just need 5.1.1 baseband to have a well functioning phone
I believe you when you say it works for your variant, but man I don't think it's going to work for our t-mobile variant. Even though they're really similar, I don't believe the Canadian variant got the security policy update that prevents downgrading like we did.
