Hi I'm using C6903 with .681 rom from Nut's and whenever i Update it into the .757 from Nut's.. My NFC icon is Lost.. not Just "HIDDEN ICON" in the notification bar.. but IT REALLY DOESN'T WORK at all even when i Turn it on and off in the settings.. but it works fine when i flashed back to .681 even without wiping da dalvik cache .. I followed the Procedure One by one and I did exactly what is posted, but still no luck.. i reflashed everything.. even wiping all of my data just to check if it will work if I get a Clean phone before flashing stuffs.. now I am stuck in .681 Rom anyone can help me? and btw i have BL Unlocked (just in case you want/need to know) please help meee!
Change it in your build.prop change the NFC icon enable in true.

Use a fileexplorer(Rootexplorer) and go to system/build.prop and change it with the text editor.
Try that first for the icon.

Are you fully rooted or semi rooted?
I run a test on my phone check pic
What is it showing on your phone?

I think you have semi root
Can you mount in Rootexplorer?
Also Sim NFC failed on my phone with the test but it works fine.

You have not full access to change things on the root of your phone. It doesn't affect the NFC but if you want the icon back you must be fully rooted to change it in your build.prop.I think NFC is working on your phone without showing the NFC icon,do you have a NFC tag to test it?

Hey bro i googled some ways to edit the Build.prop thing that you were saying.. I downloaded an app that directly edits the text of that build.prop and it asked for a permission in SuperSU and i granted it.. Then i looked for the NFC icon that you said and changed it to True.. After restarting.. THE NFC SHOWS UP! thanks man! I am now running . 757 Nut's rom Cheers! :thumbup:

Hi all,
I was playing with build.prop editor (just to hide the nfc icon, already did that before) and the program asked for reboot. I said yes and my phone won't boot up anymore.
No flashtool flash possible, no "vol-up maintained + power for X seconds" responding, no light when charging, really really nothing!
I guess it will go to my Sony repair center but if u have another idea, I take...
I tried everything!
PLEASE HELP!

I changed yesterday my NFC Icon setting from false to true in buildprop but I had no issue, must be something else that causing it ?

thanks but no success
hey guys just want to know if u guys are having this problem (im on stock .284)
so after rooting using doomlord's tool
the nfc cannot be enabled
if u guys are having this problem there is a solution found in XZ thread
sorry i cannot post the link to it since i accidentaly stumbled upon it
but according to the thread
all u have to do is find the folder data/usf and rename or delete the folder (in my case i just rename it to usf1 since when i try to cut it, it says there are some files that cannot be deleted)
and voila, the nfc can be turned on again
Worked!
I did what you said and worked after reboot.
Actually i didn't even notice that, since i dont use NFC.

what‘s your version？original 284 or other rom？
I tried turning it on after seeimg this thread and it just wont stop. Kept giving me message that unfortunately NFC service has stopped. I deleted that folder and rebooted but it didnt help. Had to format everything and flash again. So should I delete it and reboot? Then turn it on?Or is there any fix available? I dont use it but if someone accidentally turn it on then I will be in trouble. Please help.
I am on stock. 284 firmware downloaded from the link provided in this site.

Ive that problem before, the popup error just always pop-out, after I try to turn on the NFC.
just replace nfc.apk with the .257 stock, you'll be fine. theres no error anymore. (I give the link below)
set permission - replace the nfc.apk - reboot - wipe data 'NFC Service 4.1.2-_vr_nw' via titanium backup - Done.
and then NFC service can works perfectly
maybe helps u..

Does android beam work? I renamed the folder as suggested in a previous post, and that made nfc work, I could read smarttags and use smartconnect, but touch to beam wasn't working :-/ ??

II can't install the xposed framework on my device. It fails to install anything. I tried installing it through TWRP recovery, but only the .jar got installed, the app_process won't install no matter what I do. PLease help. everything is stock rom. Rooted, LOCKED bootloader.
ADDITIONAL,
I also cannot create a backup for my rom in TWRP.. It fails when backing up system. but I checked the TWRP folder, it has files in it even the system. So is it really backed up and the message that says "FAILURE" is only a bug?

It seems you don't have full root. Best bet will be to root again, follow the steps in my signature

I can also use titanium fully and verified root.

If you are on nuts rom then ric will already be disabled. But if you cannot write to the system partition you do not have full root, re installing it should help

If you reffering to Update via PC Companion or OTA then, Right, you cannot do that, is not recommended as you will lose Root. ...but you can update to .761 Pre-Rooted by NUT, like you already did, same way, download files from HERE.

Ok, have the Xposed Framework installed allready for gravity box and gem xperia, will try the superuser mod. Let's see if it works!

Be warned that the "superuser mod" disables signature verification in your rom. This is a very bad idea and a huge security risk. I see this superuser mod recommended everywhere and I believe it's part of a very popular rom and nobody ever explains the risks involved with using it.
I'd advise using the Xposed module "DisableSignatureCheck" to temporarily disable signature verification when installing modded system apps and immediately enable signature verification again afterwards.
Edit - I apologise for not reading correctly (it's early here lol). I incorrectly thought you were going to flash the Superuser mod. I see that it's also part of the Xperia Xposed module.
However you enable it, it's still very important that you make sure you disable the Superuser mod after you've used it. ?

I read allready about the superuser mod few weeks ago, didn't tried it till now. I'm happy so far with my ( finally updated ) rooted clean .230 fw, LB. The widget isn't sooo important, but would be nice to have it again.
Maybe some smart guy will port the widget from 4.3 for 4.4, i'm personally not able to do this. Let's see!

Don't get me wrong. It's fine to temporarily disable signature verification to install a system app that's from a trusted source like this, then enable it again afterwards. I'm saying that it's not wise or safe at all to have it disabled permanently. ?
I just noticed another rom has been released with this superuser mod integrated, with no mention of what it is or the implications of it to enable users to make an informed decision whether to use the rom or not. There are potentially hundreds of users of these roms that are unaware that they're using unsecured roms on their devices. ?
