[Q] Remove RETAIL widget "Touch here for more" - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have been given (by a friend who works for Sony) an Xperia Z1 ... but it's a demo phone (says DEMO on the box) and was wondering how I can get rid of the "Touch here for details on Xperia Z1" button at the top of the screen ... I understand how to get rid of the 'Charging video' but it's the RETAIL widget that I need to remove ... I cannot delete it under Widgets ...
My friend asked Sony about this and they said it cannot be removed as they 'flashed' it, presumably with the Retail stuff on it? ...
I've tried using Flash Tool (Androxyde Flashtool Version 0.9.16.1 built on 06-16-2014 23:00:00) to flash:
FW release : 14.1.G.2.257. Customization : GLOBAL-LTE (1277-1398)​
but it halts on an error:

Probably not the right Firmware :silly: ... I'm completly lost on Sony stuff ... ok on Sammys and iPhones ...
Current Phone Details:
Model: C6903
Android Version: 4.2.2
Build Number: 14.1.G.2.257
1. Would a re-flash of Stock Firmware kill it? or what other ways can I proceed? ... what ROM would that be? ...
2. Does it need to be unlocked (BLU) or 'Rooted' to do any Firmware flashing?
cheers,
Gem

No it does not need to be rooted to flash firmware files, also try a more recent ftf file, and please post questions in the Q&A section
Sent from my C6903 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Also, have you tried long pressing on the widget and dragging it to the bin?

Sorry for posting in wrong section and thanks for moving it ...
You mean the long press and drag to bin? (like the normal way of deleting widgets?) ... no that didn't work ... well it deleted the widget it but came back again after reboot (power on/off) ...
Could you please tell me what recent version (or the proper filename) I should be looking for to reflash the firmware? ... I don't care if it's the same version, just a version that doesn't have the RETAIL widget in it ... there's a ton of FW files out there for the Z1 and that makes it frustrating to find the correct one ...
cheers,
Gem

Go for one for your model variant (C6902-C6903 etc) and then choose the one with the highest FW version.
It does not matter where it is from or if it is branded
Once you have flashed it follow my signature to root it

Still not flashing ...
Ok thanks ... found this one on Storage Cow ...

What am I doing wrong? ... any thoughts? ...
cheers,

Please restart flashtool, then attach the phone turned on, then try to attach it again in flashmode and please post the output here.
Make sure you have run drivers.exe from C:\Flashtool\drivers and chosed flashmode, fastboot and Z1 drivers.
Also, look in the mega collection thread in the general section for a whole list of FTF files to try

Yes had ticked the 3 boxes for the drivers flashmode, fastboot and Z1 drivers ...
Ok ... this time (as you requested) I did not hold the Vol Down button and connect the USB cable ... I just connected it when Flash Tool started ... clicked Flash Device -> Flashmode and then selected the FW (C6903 14.4.A.0.108 - from storage cow) from the list and clicked Flash ... and I get exactly the same log as I posted above ...
Here's a kicker ... I also get that exact same log if I start to flash but without the phone connected to the PC ... so until I get Flashtool to work properly I can't try any other ROMs ...
BTW: PC Companion see's the phone fine ... and seems to work ok ... and it's not running while I'm using Flashtool ... also the phone is in Developer Mode ...
cheers,
Gem

Ok here's the log ...
Started up FlashTool
Connected Phone in Normal Mode ... no change to log
Clicked Flash Device -> Flashmode -> Selected the Rom to flash (default boxes are ticked) -> Clicked Flash button[/I]
Didn't have time to connect the phone because the log carried on and finished (as it is below) before I was able to conect the phone ... therefore phone was not connected ... I tried connecting after that but nothing happened ... no log change ...

So could it be the FW (C6903_14.4.A.0.108_1276-7939_R3C Generic MY.ftf) ? because it's erroring out as it checks it ... then decides it's wrong or faulty then bombs out? ...
cheers,
Gem

Please do what I have said.
Do not select any file to flash
attach the phone with it turned on (Ensure USB debugging is on)
Then turn the phone off and attach it in flash mode
EDIT
OK, you can always try another FTF file from the mega collection thread

Ok gonna try this one from the Mega Collection ... C6903 14.1.G.1.518 Generic UK 1276-0875_R8A ...
Q:
The current FW I have in the phone is a Commercial/Journalist FW (build number 14.1.g.2.257) ... do I have to keep to Commercial/Journalist FW but then use a different version number? ... or can I use ANY of the 'UK' C6903 FW files? ...
I'll go through a few FWs and see if they kick in ...
Thanks for your help ...
cheers,
Gem

Don't use that one, flash one of the latest versions

Sorry meant this one C6903 14.1.G.2.257 Generic UK 1276-0875_R10A ... thought latest was at the top ...

No latest has the highest version number
14.4......
is higher than
14.1
also
14.4.B....
will be higher than
14.4.A....
Same as numbers except the columns are separated by "." and letters are allowed

Ok cheers ... this one near the bottom then ... C6903 14.3.A.0.757 Generic UK 1276-0875 ... that's the last UK one listed in the Generic list ...

Try the 14.4.A.0.108 or 14.4.A.0.118 They are very easy to root, the 757 is harder

Cannot find the UK versions of those in Mega thread or on Storage Cow ... but if I end up grabbing another country FW it'll be in their language won't it and not English?... what about the C6903 14.4.A.0.108 Generic Central Europe 1 1276-4318? ... lost aint the word ...
I tried flashing with the previous FW I posted before and I still cannot get that poxy FlashTool to stop and wait for the phone ... it just bombs out without me able to connect the phone ... done a re-installation ... nowt ...
I'm gonna end up lobbing this brand new phone in the bin soon ...
cheers,

Make sure the phone is not connected to the pc, press the flash icon, choose the ftf file and wait until the phone prompts you.
Make sure you have no other adb (android) programs running such as blue stacks etc.
It makes no difference if you flash a ftf from another region (as I have already said) I am using the German one now...
Sent from my C6903 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

That's exactly what I have been doing and as described in my previous posts ... I get that bit ...
I don't want to root the phone ... I don't want to do anything else apart from just flash a ROM ... any ROM (which will work on this phone) so that I can just get rid of the Sony installed Retail Widget that produces a button on the home screen that says Touch here for details on Xperia Z1 ... that's it ...
I have no other Android stuff installed on my PC ... but now I'm seeing the problem is with FlashTool not responding properly and preventing me from flashing anything ...
I have also noticed (after plenty of un-installs and re-installs) that the issue could be the SEMC driver ... the PC freezes when it starts to install SEMC driver AFTER the PC has popped up the window saying connect the USB ready for Flashmode (USB + Vol down) ... also, the PC freezes (everytime) when I try and fix it by updating the driver (in Device Manager) because it didn't install properly ... or when I try to uninstall the SEMC driver, from Device Manager ... I have to hard reset the PC everytime the SEMC driver doesn't play ball ... this is the pain in the ass I'm getting ... it's frustrating the hell out of me ...
So maybe I need to start a new thread concerning my FlashTool/SEMC issue? ...
Thanks for the info on usage of 'use any ROM' ...
cheers,

Huge Problems, help!!

Hi
I bought the ZR a month ago, but opened the box about 3 weeks ago, , I updated it to 4.3 via OTA freshly out of the box.
It was working fine until last week, got one messsage "android phone stopped working" once, then I wasn't able to hear when calling or recieving a call. Everything else was still working.
Now, two days ago I turn it off and on, the phone goes up to locked homescreen and then screen goes black and restarts automatically. This repeats indefinetly, if I don't turn it off as soon as the homescreen appears, I have to remove the battery because power key doesnt responds.
I got the phone from an ebay seller
I live in Peru.
Excuse my english.

Switch off your Xperia ZR first
Press and hold the Volume Down button
Connect to your PC using a USB Cable while holding down the Volume Down button on your Xperia ZR
Before plugging in the USB cable on your Xperia ZR make sure that the other end of USB cable is already connected to the PC.
Your Xperia ZR should be in Flash Mode now and the device’s LED light should turn into Green

you have to install the drivers for your ZR ! Go in C:\flashtool then go in Drivers folder and then search for Xperia ZR ( you will find it with name Xperia A)
after you install the drivers power off your phone and boot in flashmode and then install the rom.. No matter if is rusian version or any version .. you can swich the language after you install the rom .. Maybe you will find some preinstalled apps on your device but that`s all Hope i helped you ..

That's impossible. Go to Flashtool folder. U will find the driver folder and Flashtool-drivers.exe to be run to install the required driver for ZR. Run it and tick the nessesary driver and clicked installed and u're done.

Are you on windows 8?. Windows 8 requires some special steps to install the xperia A drivers. You have to disable the driver signature enforcement first then install the drivers.
I don't know about ZR but your log says USB debugging is off .
So enable USB debugging.
And make sure you are not in mtp mode in USB connectivity

I can't do that, the phone freezes at homescreen and the it restarts
chewaz said:
Hi
I bought the ZR a month ago, but opened the box about 3 weeks ago, , I updated it to 4.3 via OTA freshly out of the box.
It was working fine until last week, got one messsage "android phone stopped working" once, then I wasn't able to hear when calling or recieving a call. Everything else was still working.
Now, two days ago I turn it off and on, the phone goes up to locked homescreen and then screen goes black and restarts automatically. This repeats indefinetly, if I don't turn it off as soon as the homescreen appears, I have to remove the battery because power key doesnt responds.
I got the phone from an ebay seller
I live in Peru.
Excuse my english.

OK... I will tell about my case.
I bought the ZR in august 2013. It was rooted and flashed to 4.2.2. Everything worked fine. Until January 2014.
The first problem was - Silence during calls. I was not able to hear something. And my voice was not heard on the other side. In tests microphone and dynamic worked fine. External dynamic and earphones did not change something - silence during call remained.
After some time (phone was on and off... and again... and battery was removed some times) problem disappeared. But after one day it came back. And disappeared again... and came back... and so on for few times. The other functions all the time worked good. I only was not able to talk during calls.
I flashed the phone to 10.4.1.B.0.101... and to some previous firmwares by Flashtool. But nothing changed.
The next stage after some days was: I turned the phone off. And after turning on it was not been able to see the network. And wifi was not working. I went to settings and saw - IMEI and MAC have disappeared.
I flashed phone to 10.4.1.B.0.101 again. Nothing changed.
And after a little time phone said something like: "the system application stopped" ( I did not remember exactly). And than after rebooting it went into:
"the phone goes up to locked homescreen and then screen goes black and restarts automatically".
I think our cases may have one problem in basis. And I think the problem is in hardware. Because i flashed my phone for some times and flashtool did not said something about errors and drivers was ok.
I will go to service center. But I think they are not very good in fixing phones here...
Any thoughts?
Problem was solved. Sony changed some electronic parts of my phone. Now it works good. It was the hardware dysfunction.

There is a "Common drivers for Viskan board" in the drivers installer. I suggest for you to tick that.

It worked. I saw a lot of threads and nobody says to install this driver.
I don't understand why they didn't write to install this driver

Well I don't know either. But I managed to install it anyway. Been doing that since I was first tried to flash a downgrade on this device.
I notice that the installer said "Xperia SP" in the Viskan board details so since then I always tick it and recommending people to install it as well. Glad it worked out for you!

make sure that your device is properly connected and you've installed flashmode drivers properly and drivers for your device as well. Do not leave the volume down key until the flashing is done. You may find another stock firmware and give it a try

I recently rooted and flashed my compact. I also have Windows 8.1, and for the life of me, I couldn't get my files to flash using Windows 8.1. As soon as I switched to a different laptop using Windows 7, I had absolutely no problems.

Well the issue with 8.1 was the digital signature which i managed to disable so drivers installed fine, but so fat am getting the error for (loader.sin), i need to know if any other solutions to overcome this issue
unfortunately i do not have any other laptop or OS like 7

Yeah, even after I disabled digital signature, I still couldn't get Flashtool to work properly on Windows 8.1.
I was still forced to use Windows 7.
Best of luck.
I'm facing "similar" issue while flashing latest stock Lollipop firmware for India.
I've reported an issue on Flashool github repo.
More details here: https://github.com/Androxyde/Flashtool/issues/22
Let's see.

I Failed Flashing ROM with FlashTool

Hi all i tried to flash my XZ2 with flashtool and i downloaded the latest ROM from Xperifirm. I created FTF file from the ROM i downloaded by unchecking .TA files. I have unlocked bootloader with cmd (which means all the drivers must be installed properly). But it didnt show neither errors nor succeeding in flashing the ROM. When i exited flash boot mode, my phone still can be turned on normally.
In before, i softbricked my phone but managed to reflash it with EMMA, but not satisfied because it's android 8. Anyone please help me, what steps i missed here? Im super noob in this kind of stuff, so please explain it easily for me. Thank u!

I have solved the problem. So i need to install the driver from C:\Flashtool\drivers, ticked the flash boot and fast boot, include .TA files in the FTF file, and not plugging my phone in USB 3.0 slot. Hope this would be useful for anyone having the same problem as mine.
