Any news about the non-functional camera from. 681 fw? Not everyone had a problem, but I tested the. 681 and camera didn't focus. So I downgraded to 4.3.
Best regards

If you already unlocked on 4.2 then updating to 4.3 should work.

I have a similar issue. 4.3 was fine but both .681 and .757 have rendered my camera unable to focus. Any ideas guys?
Z1 on 4.4.2 build 14.3.A.0.757 using XZ dual recovery - thanks NUT!

Same here for me. Camera does not focus for me on my unlocked BL C6903 HK Generic Z1. However, camera focuses perfectly on my .290 recovery image backup. I am using the latest Flashtool, latest SuperSU.zip, .121 dual recovery, and wiping/flashing/installing everything in the correct order.
Reverting back to .136 until the camera focus issues is resolved.

Same summary here and using exactly the same tools/superuser/recovery - back to 290 it works fine, 136 also works fine. Staying here until resolved. Many thanks all.
Im on the 757 from NUT and camera works fine here, however i still have locked bootloader, using latest flashtool, dualrecovery and SuperSU.
Camera don't work for me too. Same problems as everybody, freezes when it focus with flash on. Going back to .136 until this is fixed. Using latest flashtool and twrp 2.7.0.0, SuperSU 1.94
EDIT:NUT .757 model C6943 and unlocked bootloader

So Im back to 4.2.2 (10.3.1.A.2.67) via flashtool. Now I want to restore my system via pcc. Do you know how? I can't see that option. Only opdate to 4.3. I don't want 4.3 because has many bugs.
you cannot do that. You should have backup up with titanium or something similar.

As i know there's no bug in 4.3 ...
If there is,it's just a small bug...
oh there is..for example:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/general/bug-internal-speaker-bug-101-t2682317
That was very annoying.
Anyway imo 4.2.2 works better. Everything works very good. I got root in easy way, black menu, camera works better.
I'm waiting for kitkat.

I recently updated my z1 (C6902) from 4.3 to 4.4 after updating it's ****ed up its giving me some problems first is sometimes the keyboard stopped working or sometimes the wallpaper and lock screen goes black and another problem is back button is not working properly.
Pls give solution I can't bear this things
We already know that KitKat is fabulous, you don't have to confirm that.
Do a Factory Reset, then let the Android alone for few days.
Oh ohk bro I'll try it.

If this will not help, last thing is to repair with PC Companion.

Hello xda community,
I recently upgraded from my .257 4.2.2 JellyBean to .757 4.4.2 KitKat in a series of flashing (.257 -> .290 -> .681 -> .757) .
After successfully upgrading to latest stock firmware thanks to NUT for his awesome tuts, i lost no personal data or settings neither i lost root.
But, after wandering around in the forum i said it'd be awesome to get a DoomKernel and start overclocking.
After reading certain stuff, i got confused and didn't really know if it was safe for me to do it.
So, i would kindly like to ask you..
-How can i unlock my Bootloader without losing personal settings and data? ( I read i should backup TA, can i do it via TWRP recovery?, and can i after unlocking BL, restore everything except TA to get my stuff back?)
-Also, after unlocking BL, can i flash DoomLord's kernel without again losing stuff?
-And, I read that it is possible to "get" the camera (or some apps from the camera) from Z2 to the Z1, is it safe, for me to do it, and if it's not hard to explain, how can i do it?
-Can I keep Bravia Engine, Clear Audio, Bionz etc after all this?
Any help is appreciated, thank you in advance guys.!
Everything I learn from you, pushes me to keep learning more stuff about the android world, and makes me want to share it with everyone! I've been rooting and installing custom stuff to last gen 2011-2012 and some 2013 devices for my friends for about a year or more and also, started to explain some of the stuff i learned to them, every last bit that you tell me, i remember it, and transfer it to others, thank you guys, you are my Sensei
You unlock the bootloader by following the official guide from the don't website, just Google it.
You will lose all ordinal days etc.
Backup your TA first using TA backup tool, just Google it.
After unlock you can flash doom kernel using Fastboot

Ok, thank you. I backed up with TA backup from pc and also full backup from TWRP. Unlocked my BL and restored everything from TWRP except kernel and TA. Rebooted and everything was just as before but with BL unlocked. Then i flashed doomkernel v11 and all is fine yet. Haven't had even one problem. Now i want to try installing superuser MOD, so i can try the z2 camera port which sounds awesome. But i read it only works for. 681 fw versions. Can i downgrade just by flashing the one that NUT had uploaded.? Or is it safe for my fw version to try.? Sorry to bother you again mate
:angel:
It should be fine on 757 firmware.
I am using it now on that FW
That's just great, which guide should i follow? this or this

The 2 links are the same thread.
As for that smart camera port, it is not working properly yet. I just meant the superuser mod is working fine.

Ooops, I'm sorry for that, fixed it.
As for the camera, I am thinking of downgrading to .681 and try this camera mod using this guide to apply superuser mod .
Is it worth to downgrade to .681 ?
My Camera hangs and freezes. then reboot phone.. happens when chainging from Superior auto to manual. I flashed the tft file for Central Europe. This happens on both kitkat updates. I have unlocked BL
Not rooted now. Will try to restore using seus or try monx rom soon. or even AOSP roms

AOSP ROMS are fine as I tried them.
Even the Google camera app recently launched on Google play works well km Sony kitkat ROM.
The issue is with the Sony camera app. Sony needs to do something about it.

Strange, my camera will take one photo then freeze. Reboot is the only way to get it to respond again. An iPhone is looking more and more attractive given the problems my Z1 has.
My z1 had a bug so I flashed C6903_14.4.A.0.108_Customized UK.ftf via flashtool.
Now whenever I try to install a ROM (CrDroids new lollipop build) it says this zip is for Honami devices not Togari.
My device is a c903 honami!
How can I fix this?
Cheers!
EDIT: FINALLY fixed it! Reflashed FTF, relocked bootloader, updated via SUS, flashed Doomkernel, installed 5.0

Yeah definitely, got it from the z1 ftf collection. Fixed now though and I updated the op with instructions in case anyone hits the same situation
