[Q] A pretty messed up situation. Can I get some help please? - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok, so after using AOSP based ROMs for a month, decided to switch back to stock. So flashed NUT's .757 fw. After succesfully booting up i restored my TA backup which i had made before unlocking my bootloader. Restored fine. Ater rebooting, without even thinking i flashed doomkernel v16 through recovery and the device did not reboot rather just vibrated on pressing the power button, no lights. Used flashtool and flashed the stripped ftf. Magically the device rebooted into system. So my doubts are:
1. Have i relocked my bootloader by restoring the LB's TA?
2. How to unlock it again if i have indeed done it?
PS: I have not made a TA backup after unlocking the bootloader
Can someone please help me?

About TA

So,
I already unlocked my bootloader and backed up my TA.
I wanted to flash new ftf, and then by accident i flashed the ftf without excluding the TA from the FTF.
My question is, is it going to be a problem?
Does it mean i have new false TA?
Do i need to remove the false TA? How?
Thankyou very much!!:cyclops:
no, don't worry, everything is fine.
Have you noticed any problems in your phone? I bet not.
Once you unlocked the boot, it wiped your TA anyway.

the only thing that isnt work on KK 4.4 is my camera ...
still trying to find the fix thou ... tried many thing but still not working ..
im affraid it has something to do with the TA thing,
but since u think the TA thing shudnt give any problem,
maybe my camera problem has something to do with another else
anyway, thankyou for your answer :good:
Hope you don't mind me asking this Question here, I am trying to lock bootloader and when I run Backup-TA it starts normal but hangs with "requesting root permissions".? Can someone tell me what's wrong. I am using the latest version wit Win8.

Thanks for that, it was rooted, and shot itself after trying backup-at, would not even come to life. Then I had problems with win8.1 and 'spat the dummy' and reinstalled Linux (Debian) and using flashtool managed to get 14.3.A.0.681 back in, not rooted now and still unlocked. Now to work out how to restore locked with the TA backup.

hi mate. we are on the same issues here. my rooting status is unknown too. some of the devs of xda tried to helped me and we cant fix it. He told me that maybe we are facing this issues is because our bootloader is damaged. and the only solution is go to the sony center and replace your phone to a new one.

Does TWRP backup includes TA backup???
Actually my phone runs 5.0.2 Pure X V3.1 and in service menu > configuration all errors (SIM, bootloader, rooting status, etc.,)
I've locked BL. It isn't a problem, 'cause going to pure stock ROM solves everything (should)

No, you have to backup it via pc before unlock. Using TA backup tool.

Reboot recovery, select backup and hit restore...
Basic beginners knowledge..
I suggest bring your phone to Sony service center and never touch anything unless you want to spend money on new phone everytime

[Q] Bad Camera quality after Unlocking BL

Hello buddies ,,
i have a very Bad Camera quality after Unlocking BL
and i didnt backup the ta partition
any help ?
You can relock with Flastool. It does not restore DRM keys.
Well. Next time read it more

go to the cross device development, there is a mod on how to restore the good quality without the DRM keys.
it works for me, just follow the steps as they are.
(when u need to install a kernel with recovery on laters steps, install doom kernel via fastboot using flashtool)
hope i helped.

he lost his DRM keys, SO even with a locked bootloader the camera will still be the same as with an open bootloader.
he didn't backup his DRM, so he can't restore them after locking up the bootloader, your solution doesn't help.

It wasn't a solution I was just saying. I prefer to keep to LB. Try DRM fix thing. I have heard it good.

Proximity sensor always enabled

Hi guys, I've repaired my Z3+ but now the proximity sensor stays always on so on phone call the screen stay black even if I press the power button.
Is there a way to disable the sensor so I can enable and lock screen on call just by the power button? I'm seeing some app on the play store but I prefer a tips from you before make some other damage.
If it's possible without root, but if the only solution need root (so unlock the bootloader) I'll do it.
Thank you

you can flash the phone with the correct version and region, just select flash system only, you won't lose any of your data, i did that several time for testing mods, don't forget to backup TA partitions if your BL is locked, just in case :highfive:
P.S: you don't need to unlock bootloader to flash the system partition

Oh good! U think that this may solve the problem? Can you link me to a reliable tutorial to flash the system and make a backup?
Thank you very much :fingers-crossed:

p.s:
1. download the correct firmware version and region for your phone
2. in the firmware selector in flashtool, under "sin" section, check everything except system. and under misc TA, check everything.
3. leave all the other check boxes UNCHECKED

Why back up TA if he is locked bootloader? As far as I know flashing .ftf file with flashtool doesn't affect TA partition. Am I right? I have made my all flashing with flashtool by selecting all wipes in wipe section. BTW I am locked bootloader Z3+ E6553 .305 firmware

How did you dare unlock your bootloader? photo quality, image enchanments were same after you restored your TA back up? Because once I tried to unlock my old Z1 bootloader, my phone really f.. up even if I restored my TA back up. I had regret to unlock it, so I'm really scared to unlock it again

http://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/xperia-z1-z2-z3-series-devices-drm-t2930672
everything works perfect, just when there's OTA updates, i gotta download the whole ftf file and flash via flashtool, but that's not a big deal
My Z3+ got the same problem. Proximity sensor was always on.
Sent it to SONY repair center, they did a recalibration.
I'm just curious how can i do it myself? Where is this option to recalibrate proximity switch?
