[Q] Problem installing latest 4.3 build (10.4.B.0.569)

Hi, I would like to post a request of solution to a problem faced by a number of Xperia Z series devices users out there. For the latest 4.3 build (10.4.B.0.569) from SONY, the OTA update could not be installed despite being able to be downloaded successfully. The file size is 318MB for my ZL. Once completed the download the phone will reboot itself into its recovery and soon after a few seconds it reboots itself and give an undismissable notification of "could not install". As reconfirmed with other users, root does not seem to be the problem. No official comment was given and close to none from XDA. Could anyone please help with poor users affected by this issue?

I'm not sure, but I think it's the CWM or TWRP, perhaps it's the boot.img ... don't know.... To update to newest FW follow this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2565850

Am using stock recovery...….so don't think it is related to the recovery...

u said u did it ota so umm have u tried via pc companion to update ure phone ?
if youre not rooted may i suggest using pc companion or flashing the ftf via sony ericson flasher (sony rom ) required to update the phone

Beside you can also use EMMA, but think this will reset your phone to factory defaults.
For my phone it installed an older build (0.244) and then I was able to get the latest FW by OTA.

[Q] root\flash xperia with broken usb port

Hello all
I have an xperia z phone which is currently on 4.4.2 standard sony update and has never been rooted. Unfortunately the phone usb is damaged, i have to charge the phone using a dock.
My question is this can i still root and flash the phone with a broken usb port?
Maybe by copying files onto phone using an sd card?
Any help is appreciated

Yes
Use towelroot to root your device. And use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/orig-development/app-recovery-twrp-2-4-3-0-lockled-t2190936 app to install TWRP recovery and then flash stock based ROMs

Thanks for the reply.
there is a OTA 4.4.4 update coming soon to my carrier. If i root my device will this effect my ability to do OTA updates?
Also if you still can do OTA updates on a rooted phones does updating unroot the phone.
You also mention flash stock roms, which current ones do you recommend.
Cheers

you can update a rooted phone to 4.4.4
but doing so will unroot it again.
to gain toot access on 4.4.4 after updating you have to flash 4.4.2 kernel root and then flash 4.4.4 kernel
so getting root on 4.4.4 you will need a working usb port

OTA UK 4.4.4 update still not arrived??? gonna try a flash!
Well this over the air update 4.4.4 seems be not arriving. anyone in the UK (on Three carrier) had a 4.4.4 update?
I think i'm going to try flashing this update myself (remember my usb is broken and on stock 4.4.2).
This is the process (correct me if i'm wrong!!)
1. install towelroot and root device (easy just install app)
2. install SU app (again easy just install app and restart phone)
3. install a recovery software (whats the easy way to do this without usb?)
4. download one of the stock roms from the general section of the xperia z forum. (i have noticed there is not a UK version, is this a problem?)
5. copy this rom to the phone using SD card (do i need to copy this rom to the phone or leave it on the SD card?).
6. boot into the recovery software, clear the caches and flash the rom.
I should then have rooted 4.4.4 stock xperia Z.
If anyone has anything to add I would be most grateful of any help or advice.
Dave

You are kinda.... WRONG! here is why:
Step 3: That recovery installing software working only on 4.2.2 because I already tried to install the recovery from it and FAILED on the newer Android versions....
Step 4: those ROMs with UK in the title or any others like that are NOT recovery flashable ROMs. They are pure stock ROMs can be flashed only via flashtool. You can find what you need in the development section.
Sorry to say that...

[Q] Can't get any recovery working on 14.5.A.0.242

Hi everyrone !
First of all, i'm flashing stock and custom roms for a long time since the x10, Z and finally z1 with success ( sometmes it take more time to try but it works ) SO :
this time with a stock generic 14.5.A.0.242 i can't get a single recovery to work, twrp etc, too many threads with customs roms but nothing related to stock to recovery. And too many threads who are related to my problem but for cross device or other device.
Pinned threads are kind out of date so
I unlocked bootloader, trying to root with flashtool, supersu push great but I don't receive the screen message for allowing, so I tried KingRoot, it says succefully rooted but now, how to get a recovery ?
Is there a tft prerooted and by chance a recovery in it ? Or other traditional rooting tricks.
I flashed almost everything with a lot of semi bricks, i'm now returned to a fresh sony (erh) .242
So any help will be very appreciated
thanks in advance

Search Google for XZDual Recovery, and download the files for Z1 and follow the instructions.
All you need is root.

Z1 compact 5.1.1 xposed bug? And a question.

Hi guys! I have a Sony Xperia Z1 Compact phone. So my story begins when I installed a stock Android 5.1.1 on it, and I tried to install the original Xposed, but after booting it showed the SystemUI/everything fine for a sec, then it all got black. However, I could uninstall it, and install an unofficial Xposed by romracer. Anyway, that was a couple months ago, and now I saw it there is a version 79.1/80 and I'm asking that if his version worked with my phone, would this Samsung version one could work with mine? I can't find any Xposed frameworks by romracer anymore. I have v74 by the way (20150911).
So, what do you guys suggest?
Oh, and on android 5.0.2 the official Xposed worked fine. Maybe Sony changed some things since then...
And I don't know what was the problem with the original one, I couldn't do anything on my phone. (No logcat or anything.)
Or maybe the new original version would work?
Thanks in advance guys!

Use the latest official Xposed version from rovo89 (v80, SDK22) instead of any romracer versions (which are outdated by now).

^yeah I know they're outdated. Then should I take the risk, and try to flash the original version? Like I said, my whole phone went black with the original one back in September (the screen was on though)

Yeah, there have been lots of improvements since September. Make a complete backup in recovery, flash the latest official Xposed framework and wipe cache/dalvik afterwards.
