Hey guys!
I am encountering a very annoying problem. Everytime I flash a ROM like these:
- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2540652
- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2609354
I have IMEI: 0 afterwards.
The only ROM that works is:
- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2464072
What happens ?
- Flash: C6833_14.1.B.1.532_NUT.tft (Flashtool: flashmode)
- Flash: boot.img (Flashtool: Fastboot mode)
- Wipe Cache, Factory Reset, Wipe Dalvic Cache, etc. (CWM)
- Flash: aokp_togari_kitkat_nightly_2014-04-30.zip OR FXP303-cm-11-20140120-UNOFFICIAL-togari (CWM)
- Flash: aokp-full_gapps-kk-20140211.zip OR GApps_4.4.2_full.zip (CWM)
- Reboot
- IMEI: 0
- Doing the same with Paranoid Android 3+ or 4+, IMEI: CORRECT
- RomManager: Fix Google Permissions doesn't work!
Am I doing something wrong ?! I am very happy for every helpful Post. Thanks !

yep, doing it wrong
all the new roms need the newer FTFs as a base so flash Sony 757 FTF (can exclude system if you dont want to boot the sont firmware) then the boot.img of the ROM then the ROM

Awesome thanks for the information. I want to test it but apparently can't find any download link. Any sources for stock TFT firmwares (C6833 DE) I only find tft files for CE or can I use CE too?

I tested it with .681 and it worked pretty fine for me. Anyways thanks !
Any difference between using .681 and .757 for flashing custom rom ?

The same as stock + root.
ROM:
http://speedy.sh/qYeq2/C5303-Generic-12.1.0.1.201-signed.zip
Mirror:
https://mega.co.nz/#!boIBHLjR!qsnN28c9xqTMq562a2lgQ6AdZVlgL4uqJZBVU75lKGk
Kernel (for flashtool after install rom)

Mirror:
https://mega.co.nz/#!zo4HxQQa!-rVewRUW0xcOz8WFxhfOnBR1RyjsIOknQlZ6sIPGDDA
STEPS:
Download the .zip file (see downloads)
Put the pre rooted firmware + SU zip into your internal SD
Flash both files and turn the phone off
Open flashtool into flashmode
Flash 201 kernel
Reboot device
Done
Than'k
Could you upload it with something else (for example https://mega.co.nz or http://d-h.st/) because I don't have a premium acount on speedy share, and I dont want to bloat my computer with their download assistant .exe file...
What kind of fw is this? Generic Europe? Generic Global?
Thanks for sharing!
could anyone confirm this one ?
Thank'd.
Btw, how do you make the kernel only ftf? I know how to make a full ftf and extract the kernel.sin from it. Then how to make the ftf from it? Or.. any other way? Thanks in advance.
any other link ?
because i dont have premium account.
thanks
Well no need for me to update my thread..... (kidding)
Nice work mate
the more devs we have the better the community

It is a pre-requisite that customised or cooked roms need root & recovery to install...
Im still using Stock rom .245(4.1) rooted with CWM. Do i still need to install .254(4.1) and .266(4.3) before flashing this rom and kernel? thanks in advance

I don't think so. I have flashed a few cooked (current) ROMs with .254 rooted + CWM. What matters is having CWM to flash the ROM which comes in zip files...In fact, I had to downgrade to .254 in order to root + CWM to flash
so to correct my understanding
ROM in OP is pre-rooted but Kernel in OP is stock kernel without root?
Exactly what are the changes in this FW
I mean geez Sony only put -_- battery improvements, software enhancements and are really very generic changes
thanks

Did you really expect them to say "Basically the same ROM without all the stuff ups we forgot to fix prior to releasing it"?

No, At least they should've given the exact things they fixed liked the "App Installation Animation is fixed" instead of saying "Various System Improvements". It seems so general

Yes it is.
Did you change anything in the ROM apart from rooting it? There are some files missing compared to my german .201 version. I don't know if there are more files than the bloatware ones, it was just a short look into it.
anyone experience unknown baseband and wifi problem after flashing?
i rooted and Unlocked Botloader of my c6802 on 14.3.A.0.681 frimware fro install ctyanogenMOD Rom... but when i want to flash it FAILED on both TWRP and CWM but i thing surprised me in TWRP the errore is like this:

In one of your other posts you mention relocking the BL? It has to be unlocked.
Also if you are on a 6802 you have to be coming off a c6833 firmware for some reason, this is the most likely I think

CM11 is bootlooping if you don't have the c6833 firmware on the phone first, even if the model is c6802.

flash the latest FTF for the 6833 (use flashtool and put the phone into flashmode)
then flash the boot.img in the CM zip (use flashtool and put the phone into fastboot)
then flash the CM zip (from recovery installed in step 2)
Just downloaded 4.4.2 for XZU C6802, it has 2 files:
C6802 4.4 IN 757 odex ROMflash01.zip (1.02GB)
C6802_14.3.A.0.757_Generic IN kernelonly.ftf (11.3MB)
Questions:
1. Is this a official release? why not in ftf?
2. Why there is a extra kernel there?
3. Do I need to flash both of them? which should flash first?
4. Will it automatically in rooted state after flash?
5. Any other things need to notice?
Current State:
C6802_14.2.A.1.136, Rooted, Unlocked, CMW and TWRP both installed.
THANKS!
You've apparently downloaded a CMW file of the latest update. Why is there a stock kernel in the package? I don't know, but it doesn't hurt to have it. Just flash the ROM, and not the kernel. I assume the ROM has a kernel with CMW/TWRP, but we can't be sure until you try.
Is this the DL that came off a .cn forum?

Thanks.I found a explain and managed.
List for others:
1.Flash .zip (don't reboot after finished)
2.If want to keep recovery and root, flash FIX_Z1(ZU)-lockeddualrecovery2.7.115-BETA.flashable.zip (http://pan.baidu.com/s/1kTDiMiz).
3. switch off, enter flashing mode.
4. flash that ftf kernel.
5. Reboot, already in 757
Ok, now i'm really confused.
I'm currently on 757 firmware and I want to flash the GPe on it. What exactly do I have to do?
LordManhattan's thread simply requires me to flash some files but the GPe thread needs me to flash boot.img or something.
Can anyone coach me step by step? I've never tried to flash a darn phone with so many prerequisites... It was so much easier playing with the LG and hTc

From stock 757 with unlocked bootloader:
Copy ROM zip to sdcard of phone
Flash boot.img from the ROM zip using flashtool and fastboot mode. the boot.img will have recovery already in it
Boot the phone into recovery, vol + or - while booting
Factory reset (or format data and wipe caches
Flash the ROM zip from recovery
Reboot into system
I assume you have followed lordmanhattan's guide and have:
Downgraded
Rooted
Backed up TA
Unlocked bootloader
Updated firmware to the latest

So it is okay to directly downgrade from 757?
And what do you mean by updated firmware to the latest?
And the boot.img in the ROM package, does it already contain the recovery?

You want to downgrade to root? if so then yes - see my downgrade sticky thread in the general section for a guide
After rooting/backing up TA/unlocking bootloader you will want to flash the latest firmware again to get the new baseband, and a few other things else any custom 4.3 or 4.4 ROM's won't boot and/or will have IMEI issues

Ok to be honest, im trying to flash that ROM because the recent 757 firmware was supposed to fix the sound bug issue. It worked for others' ZU except for mine. Pretty pissed that all SONY said to me was to bring my phone down for a repair, hence i was hoping i could fix it by flashing another ROM.
I downgraded to .532 then updated it back to 757. Seems like it is a hardware problem...
WOW. I'M AN IDIOT. I DECIDED TO WASH MY PHONE UNDER THE TAP BECAUSE IT WAS A LITTLE DIRTY. AND SOMEHOW, THAT FIXED THE SOUND BUG. SOMEONE PLEASE SLAP ME IN THE FACE.
Close this thread please, I'm an idiot. Thanks blueether for your help!
You don't read very well do you?
All the steps needed were there with an explanation of why (where needed).
Next time you you need/want to flash your ZU take the time to read the steps, and ask questions if you aren't sure about a step or why some said to do something a certain way or to see a certain thread...
ps good to see you have the sound working again

Correct, but only the tweaked version. That's an isolated case though, so the rest of them will have recovery.

Hi...I'm in the same position as you...can you please explain how exactly you managed to fix it?
For reference, my C6802 was on stock .757 firmware, then I flashed the unofficial SlimKat rom and kernel from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2712065. Everything works in the rom except it doesnt connect to my mobile network.

Not the same issue ( or at least shouldn't be).
In about phone settings do you have a valid imei no. and baseband?
Have you tried any other ROMs?

Thanks for the response blueether! In the phone settings it says Unknown for both baseband and imei. I found this thread where you helped another person with almost the same problem I guess, (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2738141) and you have told him to follow these steps:
"Just do as has been said a thousand times...
Downgrade to .532 - see my downgrade thread
Root using either [NUT]'s dual recovery or bin4ries tool - see thread in step above or LordManhattans guide
Backup the TA - see LordManhattons guide
Upgrade to latest FTF
Unlock bootloader
Root using jackies099's kernel
..."
So I'm downloading a .532 FTF and will try out these steps once the download finishes in a while. As I understand, when I upgrade to the latest FTF (.757 now?) the imei/baseband should return.

IMEI/baseband should be fine if you were on 757 and flashed slim.
You could just try reflashing any 4.4 FTF you have laying around while you wait for the other one to download

Not sure why they vanished. Unfortunately I'm sort of a noob and don't have any FTFs lying around. I read some more threads and now I'm wondering what I should try first?
A - Flash 290 FTF then downgrade to 532
or
B - Straightaway flash 532 FTF
or
C - Flash 757 FTF

"flash 290" was written a long time ago when it was the 'current' firmware. I would flash 757 first and see how that works out.
Hi,
I have a Sony Xperia Z2 D6503 with Android 4.4.4 KK already rooted.
Now I would like to upgrade my Android to the latest available stock Rom without losing root, DualRecovery or my data, in order to be able to use Magisk.
Could you tell me the best way to do that?? I assume I have to create a pre-rooted Firmware and upgrade through DualRecovery. How would I do that??
Thanks so much for your help in adavnce!
You can download the firmware you want from this topic : http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...-z2-d6503-customised-tur-23-5-t3442058/page10
Thanks, so I download the Firmware from the thread you linked to, Flash it with flashtool and that's it already??

There is no need to flash anything else just download the the customization you want(like Mena Arabic for persian language)and there is almost zero different between them
And flash it through recovery and there is no need for fix many times but if you got stuck in bootloop just flash the bootloop fix : https://mega.nz/#!AJcwERiQ!FUmk6eS5aoVsFSZ1f4WZIELIt7sckPCj11n0AIdCNzU
Okay thanks so much, this is what I thought. Download the zip, install via Recovery and thats it. Perfect
How did you root kitkat 4.4.4? Do you have pre root firmware for 4.4.4?
