Cam Probs with iHackers V4.1 - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi.
I updated to iHackers v4.1 from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2716182
Everything works fine. Root is still on my Z1. Wonderful.
But my Cam does not focussing :/
The Notes says:
In case someone runs into Camera Issues, Flash the Full Kitkat FTF first and then Install the ROM.
If i klick the Link, there are so many Files and i dont know which i should take.
Which Version? 757?
Which Provider? No Matter what, unbranded or for my Proivider: Vodafone DE
Do i lost my Root?
My Z1 is set nearly perfeclty.
Is there a solution to fix the camera problem without losing root?
My Bootloader is unlocked.
And i dont know how to know which Baseband Version i have
I see only:
Baseband-Version
8974-AAAAANAZQ-10270045-43

Why do You wanna do that? Moving back to 4.1.2 and risking Sudden Death Syndrome with initial version of firmware is not recommended at all.
You had OTA update. You don't need to dowgrade your software. Download Sony Update Service and reflash your phone with latest available 4.2.2 for Your region.
Or, if You are more advanced user, download latest FTF and flash it yourself. But, I recommend Sony Update Service.
NOTE: Backup everything before flashing. That is a must.
the reason is going slower the device and battery drain faster.
its not way to do that?
to go back to 4.1.2?

No, it is a reason to flash clean version of the firmware a.k.a. factory reset with newest firmware.
I have latest firmware, and battery have little better autonomy, but UI is faster, more responsive and lag-free. Try this first.
Again, do the backup before. Contacts, SMS, photos... But not system settings and any stuff like that. You will adjust it again after flashing.
We have already fixed 4.2.2 update i guess you are on ..423 frimware
If yes and you feel the phone slow. Then flash latest firmware. 244
This is Central Europe customization
Unbranded, no bloatware just few apps like officesuite mcae fee.. They can be uninstalled

Maybe he doesn't know how to use Flashtool.
i ask if i can go back to 4.1.2 not flash 4.2.2
i know how to use flashtool dude.
its safe to do that?
its anyone here to know this phone release stock firmware?its 4.1.2?or older?
i am on 4.2.2 firmware.
Again, You have to do factory restore. Do it with latest 4.2.2. Try it. If it's still defective as you say it is, You must RMA it.
4.1.2 is not better than 4.2.2. I don't believe that You are the only person in this forum who's phone suffers from 4.2.2 upgrade.
Do the factory clean install of newest firmware. If it is not good still, Your phone is no good.
its ok i do this....!!!!!
why you say the phone is not good?
i make factory reset now...
It may be defective in some way. Latest 4.2.2 have to work on Xperia Z like buttery smooth. Especially after factory reset.

C6606 Qs

I recently got a C6606 T-Mobile branded Xperia Z. It is network unlocked though I am on T-Mobile. It is running the 10.3.1.E.0.191 Android 4.2.2 factory ROM.
Got a couple questions.
Firstly, I would love to root it. Nothing seems to be working. From my reading rooting this ROM is hit or miss. Any tips?
Second, I am assuming the stock ROM is odexed.
I would also like a camera app or addon that will give me full manual mode on the camera. Any out there that will work on a stock ROM?
If I change my customization to that of the international C6603 and install a 4.3 ROM will I lose the LTE and have to use the *#*#INFO#*#* menu to re-enable it or will I be SOL?
Any good guides on installing ROMs? Can I install a custom ROM with a locked bootloader?

[Q] Baseband and custom roms

Hi all. New to Z1, but have a lot of experience developing for Xperia ION.
I have a boot loader unlocked Z1 6903. The question is: when I properly install a custom rom, such as Slimkat weekly, does it come with its own baseband, or stock 4.4 baseband stays. I find gsm signal weaker than in stock. If that's the case (their own baseband), can I safely flash with flash tool stock baseband only excluding everything else. I have done that numerous times on Xperia ION, but am not sure it will work on Z1. Thanks in advance.

No idea actually if it will work. On the 2011 Xperia phones - You could flash various basebands and corresponding basebands libraries, and maybe if we could find the place / files that is corresponding to the equal libs on 2013 line-up - things would be much easier!

Sorry there's nothing to present you the requirements you have described. You can stay on the stock ROM if you would like. If you still want to use a 4.4 ROM, expect to not see Bravia, XLoud, ClearPhase. LED Notification will still work, obviously.

but my camera wont work ... there is an explanation here
If your camera doesn't work primary follow this (thanks @Hbohd and @P$T), if you don't have incriminated file flash again Rom with Stock kernel - Wifi doesn't work with old bootloader, then take photo and short video, then flash again Rom without full wipe with kernel which you like. If your camera still doesn't work follow THIS or flash some Rom 4.1.2 (via Recovery or Odin) take picture, grab and backup incriminated files, then flash this Rom and put them to data/cwm. Don't forget backup your SlimISP_XX.bin for future. Problem with camera have average only cca 10 users JB 4.3 of 1000 usr..
but i can't understand it ... pls help me thank you !
