[NOOB] restore TA + stock rom Z1C - Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Dear reader,
I have used cyanogemod for a while now and have come to the conclusion that i would rather go back to the stock rom from Sony with a locked bootloader. (but still rooted)
Since it has been a while ago since a flashed my custom rom i am not exactly sure on how to return to the stock rom and restore the TA partition so that the bootloader is locked again.
Can anyone please help me find a good tutorial on how to reset these settings?
I have entered Clockworkmod and tried to restore a backup from my SDcard which had been made before i started flashing. Now my mobile phone won't turn on. (only showing Sony logo.)
I am now downloading the stockrom so that i can flash my mobile phone with the stock rom. Will that do the trick or will my bootloader still be unlocked. I am not sure on how the restore the TA partition
Any help would be appreciated!
Kind Regards,
Jeroen

Please do tell us why do you want to go back to stock, did you try all custom ROM 's specially slimkat? How was the 'custom-rom-trip'?

I tried de Cyanogenmod because my wife has it on her One plus One. Because we regularly use each others phone i thought it would be easy for us to have the same interface. turns out the camera amoungst other things wasn't very stable on my phone so i decided to return to stock rom.

[Q] CM10 and HDMI

I'm a noob and I've read through the posts in the developers forum saying that Sony hasn't released the source code.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1780316&highlight=hdmi&page=427
Are there any work arounds?
I don't understand it myself but I saw this describing using "android.intent.action.HDMI_PLUGGED"
http://developer.sonymobile.com/2012/05/29/how-to-use-the-hidden-hdmi-api-tutorial/
Would this work?
Device: Arc LT15i (1246-9197) CM10 FXP150 Unlocked BL
(I'm using CM10 and not Stock because I have the "forgotten model" Arc that was never updated from 2.3.4)
No source from sony, probably will never work (if some hacer or developer fix it) on cm and others roms. Only on stock sony certificated.

You could just flash a stock Arc ftf.
I think theres a workaround in general thread

ZTE N9500 Need to upgrade to 4.1

I am currently using a rooted ZTE N9500 as my main phone and i wish to upgrade my OS form android 4.0.4 to 4.1 i get system updates about once a week but whenever i try to install them they find an error with my browser.apk and fail. At some point of stupidity i deleted my stock browser and even though i re-installed a 4.0.4 browser i still cant update. Can anyone tell me what i can do to get past 4.0.4? Im even willing to look into a Cyanogenmod if that would be a good alternative.
I can give you all the apps for this phone and there is now a cam and stock rooted b14 and b18 for this phone what is the update number?

Im not sure what the update number is but if you could send me the apps and the links for the b14 and b18 that would be greatly appreciated. Im a bit new to all of this phone stuff so im not quite sure what to look for to find the update number.
Also if its relevant, the update link has gone and only comes around once a week now, i attempted to update it using titanium backup and a copy os the ASOP browser apk that i changed to a system app but it still didnt work so if you can send me that stuff it would be amazing. :good: :fingers-crossed:
Well b18 is the newest if you go into your settings you can see what number software you have but I will sent you a link as soon as I get on my pc

A flash of the full firmware will get you back to 100% stock 4.1. If you have flashed a 4.4 bootloader this won't work you will have to find stock 4.4 files for your device

I think you will need to root it and such install a custom recovery so that you can flash that older version. Check this thread for rooting info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1956180
Make sure you actually read the instructions. Not reading everything fully means bricking your device. As for getting your MSL... Here's an app that might work, if it doesn't watch the YouTube video and see if that helps.

You will never be able to go to stock 4.2 not matter what you do. We have 4.1.2, 4.3, and 4.4.2 stock roms only. Like stated above root, flash recovery then the rom you want.

OTA version 2.11.1500.2

Hey all,
Just got a notification for an OTA for version 2.11.1500.2 - it's ~900mb total - can't post the screenshot due to less than 10 posts....
Did the download but haven't installed it yet as I'm currently s-off, rooted and have teamwin recovery.
If any one wants this ota and can point me in the direction of how to pull it from the phone let me know and I'll post it somewhere for anyone to grab.
Quick edit - phone is from Wind mobile in Canada

the update zip should be in data/data/com.htc.updater/files
The AT&T Update was located in /data/data/com.redbend.vdmc/files/fumo/OTAPkg.zip
With ES File explorer you have to select view hidden/system files
Alright, so that was exactly where the file was. Full file name is below. I'm not 100% familiar with the naming scheme so maybe someone else could say if it's worth it to upload the file?

Hi,
For those of you who had TWRP installed, were you able to get the update to 5.1 working? I've restored to the factory settings but I can't get the update to install. It wont work with TWRP installed and restoring the factory.img from the update (this zip) doesn't work either (but it does get farther).
Anyway, if anyone figured it out or knows how to apply the update by some other means, i'd love to know.
