install ROM. new unlocked bootloader - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok guys I been messing with my phone all night after using this phone over a year stock. Haven't been enjoying 4.4 and since warranty is basically up figured have some fun.
I used to root all my phones immediately and play with ROMS but the Z worked perfect out the box.
Anyway been out the game over a year and I never have done unlocked bootloader on sony device before.
I started out unlocking bootloader fine and dandy. For some reason I thought this would magically make everything else easy but I guess not.
Anyway I then found a 4.2 ROM to install so I could ROOT and install recovery.
After that i thought I was done and would install just anything I found.
I tried out dirty unicorn but that just kept failing to install..
I then got bootlooped and did entire process over again...
I now have http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/development/rom-rooted-deodexed-zipaligned-stock-0-t2759467 this up and installed.
was my problem with the dirty unicorn ROM not installing because I was on 4.2?
Now that I have 4.4 will it work or am I missing something because i really don't want to do another rinse and repeat lol...

I was just thinking about upgrading to the XZ from my note, but after seeing a few people post in the forum about rooting and rom issues I dint think I will now lol

You got in a bootloop because you didn't unlocked your bootloader properly and tried to flash a custom ROM.
If you try to flash a custom kernel/custom ROM on a phone which have a locked bootloader, you will end in a bootloop, because the custom kernel isn't signed by SONY.
The second ROM you've tried is for LB and for UB. This one is a stock based custom ROM.It works with the stock kernel.

This "few people" doesn't used the search function correctly. The problem is that the society is going to be lazy. Anyways do what you want, it doesn't interests me but think about that.
Comments like this aren't helpful so please, don't post unnecessary thinks like that.

wolf0491 said:
Thanks for a reply.
I don't understand how I didn't unlock the bootloader properly though. I went through the entire tutorial and it said bootloader unlocked. If I go into the service menu and look it also says it's unlocked.
I also know the rom I'm currently on works on locked bootloader I chose it figuring it would be easier to flash because I had been searching the forums for 5 straight hours without finding any answers to what I did wrong or a step I missed. Maybe I was just to tired at the time and did skip something important. It was past 2 am and I needed my phone working in the morning early for work.
I guess I will just stick to not using custom roms :-\

Yes that's the one I tried and I wiped everything before trying to install. I was using twrp like it recommended as recovery also. I swiped factory data reset wipe first then wiped cache and dalvik etc etc afterwards then recovery would just days failed while trying install.

This is for anyone having issues with latest Voo-Doo unlocking tool and LG6, LG8 and newer updates.​
Latest Samsung updates has broken Voo-Doo unlocking tool, forcing SIM-locked users to use Voo-Doo to deactivate SIM-LOCK on each device boot.
Here is small fix that will prevent your device from re-locking on each boot. Voo-Doo unlocking tool is still needed for first unlock.
Flash in CWM Recovery.

Have fun and please share your feedback!
PS. Thanks to MuertoKo for helping me searching and testing this fix!

thanks man this was driving me crazy..few questions though:
1 does this fix the problem permenatly?if we update to new firmware will it be unlocked?
2 can we back up efs to save the value so we won't have to repeat this procedure everytime we update the firmware?
Thank you !!!!

1. It depends. If Samsung will update relevant library then you will need to re-apply the fix. I'm currently working on some 100% permanent solution.
2. This fix has nothing to do with EFS partition.
Awesome stuff! :victory:
So now im just curious, What was the cause exactly ?

Pretty nice work mate.
This must be a bug in latest roms. I have a factory unlock s3 and suddenly it started asking me for the sim unlock code?! what sim unlock code?!?! lol.
First time in life that I have to use an unlock method for a...factory unlocked phone. Crazy ****! Well at least it works. Downgrading fixes the problem too.

Note Freeze with Jelly Bean Leak/Roms (TouchWiz)

Hello guys,
My Galaxy Note freeze very often on JB 4.1.2 Roms. It happen on every JB Rom with PhilZ kernel I think.
It runs sometimes good and sometimes it freeze totally and I have to reboot. It freeze 3-5 times when I reboot my Galaxy Note, on the lockscreen,... open an app,... even sometimes if I turn on/off something on the Togglesbar or just Random. I get really angry when it freeze so often!! And it freeze everytime when I plug in the charger and load the battery over the night. In the morning, my Note shows Black Screen. (=Freeze)
I can't "enjoy" jelly bean on my Note! But when the Official one is out, this wouldn't be happen or?
I flash the JB Roms everytime right! I think, when the Hydracore Kernel is released for TW JB, I won't get freezes because the kernel load the right Voltgroup, right?
It's really really really annoying I don't want to go back to ICS!
Pls, help.
If you want to know more or something is missing, just ask. And sry for my bad english :silly:
Some Details about my Note,
GT-N7000 Black
16GB (bricked to 8GB )
Voltgroup B
4GB SD-Card
I had some of the problems like you, it was freezing random, in menu or in games.
After I install this JB http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1970626
It works fine for me - so far.
But I've also do the ''Full wipe /data/factory reset /cache and dalvik'', before I didn't do the dalvik. May be that would work, if you do all the resets.
Thanks for your reply,
I will try that one I tested it one time but I can't remember
I will report if the freezes are maybe gone.
I flashed this Rom now and I got 0 Freezes =D
I like the LSA one more than the LS7 one Ultimate
The blue theme is awesome... but for now there are no freezes but they can come back
But for now, Thanks
I'm glad to hear that.
I think it will get only better when they release the official firmware and everything will work 100%.
I like the stock theme and really like the blue.
Wir hören uns später wenn etwas nicht stimmt
Ok, now in the morning the Phone freezes again so often! God damn..
Should I switch to ICS back or is there another solution?
Could there be any third party programs that are making your phone freezing?
You could try do the whole procedure again. After installing everything go back to CWM and just install the firmware again (without full wipe & co.). Or after the installation you could try to go to Settings>>Backup and reset>>Factory data reset...and erase everything (or try the full data reset code *2767*3855#).
But if you really want to go to 4.0.4, I've been using N7000XXLRU and it was very great for me.
Unfortunately I can't help much more, you could try some other JB that come from Nexus (without TouchWiz and Samsung stuff).
Third party software? I don't think so... I think its PhilZ kernel.
The Cyanogenmod Roms are running great but I like the Samsung interface a bit more.
What Rom are you using?
Gesendet von meinem GT-N7000 mit Tapatalk 2
I mean any program that maybe is interfering with the firmware (angry birds, skype...but is not from google play or is not trustworthy).
I'm using the one that I post to you, Ultimate N7000 XXLSA JellyBean 4.1.2 v5.
No. It freezes randomly. I can go to settings and it freezes. That really sucks.
Gesendet von meinem GT-N7000 mit Tapatalk 2
Oh what about an external SD card. Do you have it? Maybe that is the problem, because samsung sometimes does act strange if the SD card is broken.
Yeah this maybe could be the "freezer"
4GB Sandisk SD Card
Gesendet von meinem GT-N7000 mit Tapatalk 2
I really hope this was the problem. You will see after 24h, or after one week.
I hope so too.
I will flash now my Rom or other Jelly Bean roms like Ultimate and I remove the SD Card before flashing.
Thanks for now
Gesendet von meinem GT-N7000 mit Tapatalk 2
Wow, I flashed now without SD-Card and no freezes until now!
I will report back if the freezes come back... I won't hope so
If the SD-Card was the "freezer" I throw it in the Trash! immediately!
So,
My Note doesn't freezed about 30min!!
And I forgot to say that I had the same problem with my Galaxy Ace.
I will reply tomorrow in the morning.. because it freezed everytime during the night so yeah....If it doesn't freeze in the morning or during the night.. Big Thanks! :good:
OK fingers crossed it will work. :fingers-crossed: ''Until now'' with big letters hehe
If everything will work you could just try to format SD card on the computer. Then it could work in phone normally, or you share it to someone (after the format).
Great!
I think, the problems are solved and I'm really thankful to you Uri_1 to
attentively me that the SD-Card was faulty.

Kk 4.4.2 recovery

Cant find the recoverie to flash. That wil flash. A kk rom without error 7
Verstuurd vanaf mijn C6603 met Tapatalk
Which rom?
Usually the rom comes with a kernel that includes the correct recovery -
- Extract the boot.img from the rom zip that you want to flash.
- Flash that with fastboot or use the fastboot mode in Flashtool if you're not comfortable with using the command line.
- Boot into recovery and flash the rom.

I dont want a custom recovery I want to OTA after removing a custom recovery and I want to do it without flashing my entire system.
Basically I'm asking you if the ORIGINAL STOCK RECOVERY is flashable with kernel.sin
Then explain yourself better in the first place. You said the same effect. This is a different question altogether.
Just flash a stock FTF using Flashtool and exclude everything but the kernel.

What the hell is stopping it ffs
It depends. If your bootloader is unlocked, you need to relock it to update OTA. Sometimes if you modified /system in any way (like deleting system apps, flashing mods etc), an OTA will fail.

Yeah,bootloader is locked,didnt delete any system apps,no mods flashed except superSU...when I look at the update logs it shows a redbend_verify error and ua_updater start error. If only there was a way I can logcat the actual update and see what the hell it's checking.

Nope.
The OTA failed multiple times for me when I was only rooted as well. In the end, I just flashed the update with Flashtool and unlocked my bootloader to root. It was quicker than messing around trying to get the OTA to work.

I flashed the generic DE ftf except I didn't wipe data. Now I have a weird hybrid,but everyting works,lost root but used some japanese rootkit and got that back. Then wiped data on the update app and got a whole new update,10.4.B.0.569 and tried to install it...Of course it didn't work!
Now the problem is either in the Data partition or root is the problem. Most likely I'm gonna try without root and then if it works I'm gonna try the insanely complicated 4.3 root with bootloader relocking and all that ****
Edit: Btw It's weird,I'm looking at the update logs and it says Rooting not done

Yeah I found that out through trial and error lol. To install the ROM though, do you need S-OFF or can it stay S-ON? If it needs S-OFF, can you point me to a forum about getting S-OFF?

Oh, and can someone please post a different download link of the ROM? The Chinese server is unbearably slow, so can someone put it up on an American server?
Got it downloaded and installed, its amazing. Only problem is that I got a bootloop when I first loaded it, but that was fixed by clearing the cache, dalvik cache, and something else. Thanks!
For those of you that are going to use this ROM, if you install with S-ON, and then later decide that you want to S-OFF (like me), then you will need to reflash the ROM after you achieve S-OFF, otherwise the ROM freezes at the "Sense 5" startup screen and then begins a bootloop up to that point.

I apologize if the answer's obvious, but how exactly do you achieve S-Off?
I used the rumrunner s-off tool, but I got stuck in the bootloop,so I had to stop it, but I still got s-off.

So perhaps something came up on one or more of the test devices not previously seen, it happens.
If that is the case, I personally prefer the that they pull it to fix the issue before it makes it out too thousands of users phones. And suspending rollout makes more business sense than causing customers problems, perhaps even severe problems. :good:

If that is the case, I personally prefer the that they pull it to fix the issue before it makes it out too thousands of users phones. And suspending rollout makes more business sense than causing customers problems, perhaps even severe problems. :good:

i'm thinking more and more that this will be the case.
even more insulting would be for them to release 5.0.0 and then stop there.

I hope not... They should release both updates at the same time.. It's most likely going to be 5.0.1 and possibly the last update. I find myself checking the sprint support page almost 3 times a day for the past month.

Neither, it's source code. You can't install it.

Wait until it's released
Is there any change on the root impossibility without flashing rooted rom? I've been away from the game forever. Sorry
We won't know until it is released. This update hasn't been released yet. Most likely the typical root method work (cf atuo root and towel root) supersu is already up to date for lollipop OS so if you are rooted just wait till someone makes the stock rom a flashable zip or if you are stock just use any method to root. Remember to back up internal storage as unlocking the bootloader wipes everything.

Considering every other Samsung phone on Lollipop, including the S6, has been rooted the same way as KitKat (CF Auto Root or flash SuperSU.zip in recovery), I think we'll be fine. "Unlocking the bootloader wipes everything"? There are so many things wrong with that statement. Odining a stock tar is the only thing that wipes internal storage (and not all of them do). There is no unlocking of the bootloader on Samsung phones. You flash a custom recovery or if using CF Auto Root it flashes the su binary to system/bin... no wiping on either.
