Hello XDA Members
I'm fairly new to ROM's and all that.
I'm having major issues with my Xperia Z. I have tried installing so many Roms and spent the last 4 days trying to either find a ROM that is stable and will not crash or find out how to stop the crashing. I really need help!
I've installed:
PACMAN ROM [once]
CM 10.2.1 (stable) [about 3 times]
Cm11 [about twice]
Used Emma (Sony's flash tool) [10+ times]
Each one of those has crashed when either launching an app or doing anything even the so called stable ROM.
Does anyone know how to fix this? Or you can recommend me a ROM?
My device:
Sony Xperia Z Telstra locked
Unlocked bootloader with root access and CWM Recovery.
Originally Telstra version of 4.2 but Emma upgraded me to 4.4.2

Give this a shot
wipe the device completely from recovery(Dalvik cache, cache partition, data, data internal SD,format system)
reset the battery stats
Flash AOKP and check whether there is any difference
Okay thank you, how do I reset the battery status?
Any chance that you have a link to AOKP? I've tried to find it before but all the links are dead.
Thanks

It was discussed already. Wait two days and phone will be butter smooth. Also you can't flash non-stock firmware with locked bootloader, only root.

No, Android is compiling it's stuff in the background after factory reset. Use your phone normally, after two days this background processes will be completed and phone will be faster, battery life will be slightly improved too.
Shoot me down but I restored using TWRP and now need some advice on what I should do.
I updated my phone to 244 and rooted following the instructions from this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2387191
I didn't like it for a couple of reasons as my phone seemed buggy and my Walkman app wouldn't connect to music unlimited for some reason so I decided to restore back to my last firmware. (obviously a big mistake)
Now the battery is terrible, losses juice while plugged in to the mains while scrolling through apps and a bit of internet surfing. I unplugged my phone and within an hour has dropped to 75% with 30 mins of music and deleting apps while on the tube. WiFi and 3G turned off.
Do you think I should update through Sony companion and root through this method? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2386405
Did you do full wipe before restoring?

Just noticed I am running TWRP 2.4.3
It see your phone is buggy since you updated,better if you flash stock rom with flashtool with full wipe than do the rooting.

Think I will do that.
I am just doing a Nandroid backup.
Do you think the battery will be fixed?
It's dropping 1% every minute just in standby.
If my phone was a person it would bleed to death.

So should I flash 423 and then root and then restore from TWRP?

Do not restore your data,start with fresh installation,otherwise the battery drain will stay.

Thats the way you should do it :good:

Hello, in my s advance is installed cyanogemod 11 but has problems with wifi. Many times the time clicking on the toggle, wifi does not activate but remain on "activation" permanently.
Is a problem of the ROM or mine?
Thanks.

I recently updated to Android 4.4.4 on my Xperia Z1S and from then on, every time I take a picture, my camera just freezes and I have to lock and unlock in order to get out of the freeze. I haven't been able to take a picture since that time. Oh and btw, my phone is not rooted in any way.
Is there a fix for this? Or do I have to rollback to the previous version?

I am also experiencing this issue on my C6903, but not very ofter, would say hardly ever it occurs. Guess it is just application problem.

You are using a rom, its called stock.
Try forcing a repair using pccompanion.
Run it, choose software update and if it says you have the latest software click on the blue "Repair your device" in the dialog box.
This will wipe your phone but will repair the phone

I haven't had any camera issues on kit kat, it's actually better for me than it was on 4.3.

Does anyone know what's the latest and simplest method to unroot the device so OTA updates can be downloaded? If odining back to stock firmware can be avoided that'd be great. I'm trying to get rid of some annoying issues on my current build. Thanks.

I gave in and flashed the original os. The device runs significantly better. It seems the themes from Samsung slowed down my phone and caused a lot of issues with the dialer app.

Need really bad to unroot restore stock G925AUCU2AOF4, using Odin. My Galaxy Edge has Null for IMEI, servicemode is blank no commands, and no broadband version so no Sim will work. if not posted yet anyone know about when it will be available here as this is most trustworthy site? Also i hear it is not wise, possible to flash with a previous version than my current phone which is G925AUCU2AOF4 - i hope i and others don't have to wait too long.
Thanks,

I take that back. My device started lagging bad, especially when it was in use while connected to the charger.
