Total noob, trying to perform a volume boost - Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there, first post
Ok so basically I am wanting to mod my phone as follows because the output volume of my z1 compact is not loud enough, both through a very high end set of headphones, as well as car stereos etc. the z1 is noticeably quieter than iPhones and Samsung's.
The guide below is hard for me to make sense of, as I am a total newbie to all of this, I am just looking to increase my phone's volume so haven't really educated myself on android in the slightest. I so far have only 'rooted' my phone using kingo root, but am unsure how to follow this guide in case I 'brick' my phone.
I'm running android 4.4.4, and a stock rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2476498
The link provided for the cwm software is misleading to me, is a z1 compact the same as an s800?
Thanks for stopping by, hopefully someone could point out the basics to me

I am also running KitKat and would appreciate an answer as well. Why would it brick my phone!?

flash attached zip, it contains a modified mixer_paths.xml by myself for more loudness (works 100%)

[Q] How to root and flash

I know these threads of newbies can be annoying, since it's been posted a million times, but please hear me out.
First I just tried to root my device but I don't think it worked, since I checked with root checker and it says my device isn't rooted. I used this method:
Download
DooMLoRD's Easy Rooting Toolkit [v2.0](zergRush Exploit)
You made need:
Xperia Play [Neo Arc] AcroIS11 Acro S0-02C USB Drivers
Before You Begin
(1) Make sure you have installed ADB drivers for your device.
(2) Enable "USB DEBUGGING" from (Menu\Settings\Applications\Development).
(3) Enable "UNKNOWN SOURCES" from (Menu\Settings\Applications).
(4) [OPTIONAL] Increase screen timeout to 10 minutes.
(5) Connect USB cable to PHONE and then connect to PC.
Instructions
(1) Download the attached file, extract it using Winzip.
(2) Proceed to the folder where you extracted the contents then execute "RUNME.bat"
(3) MAKE SURE to read and follow the instructions on the screen! That's it!

Is there another "easy" method to root my Xperia R800at play?
---------------------------------------------------
And for the Custom Rom... I have been reading a lot on this forum, but I'm still a bit confused so please bare with me.
First - I've read that the ICS and JB don't really do justice when it comes to the gaming, and that Gingerbread is the best software for when it comes for the full xperia play experience?
Second - I would like a Gingerbread custom rom that's very very stable and smooth. My Wifi connection is a bit unstable so I'm hoping that a custom rom might fix that.
Third - Can someone provide me with a download link for the best Gingerbread custom rom, and the easiest method to put the rom on my device?
I also find that some games like Grand theft auto and Fifa are really laggy at times and after gameplay my phone really slows down, doesn't matter how many times I use the task manager to kill all the application. I've already updated to the latest official software of at&t but I'm not really satisfied.
I'm sorry if I wrote to much or demand to much lol, but please help me out. I will like the crap out of you if you do:highfive:
Can you guys please help me out here......
You should download flashtools http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351299 in that post you can see the link to download.
the rom that I use is jellyzeus, is a JB rom, it's so great fast, no lag here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2021373
you have to flash this kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1817548 version 7a works fine.
If you want a ICS rom you should try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1854682 This rom is so great, unoficial rom from sony, everything works on it.

And it isn't hard either to not be a ***** about it. Posts like this are completely useless. Don't you think I've done that? Or anyone else that's a member of this site? How do you think I've found this site in the first place? A lot of the information on the internet is very vague, especially for noobs. So forgive us, for not wanting to **** up are newly bought phones, and for wanting explicit information.
Thanks to the guys above. Y'all are flawless!

If you unlock the bootloader then its easy, you just unlock it through sony site here
http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/
then read this

Now if you want to backup DRM keys first, you must root it before unlocking BL, its a bit tricky but make sure you read instructions. Heres 2 thread for more info

Rooting without unlocking bootloader is not hard (test point method to unlockbootloader on 2011 xperias is harder). It takes time though as you need to flash 3 times (z1f/docomo model, then normal z1, root and recovery, then z1 compact), continue to recovery then resore the whole system and do the re-root in recovery. (see link posted above). Rooting to kitkat takes more time as you need to get 4.3 root before update.
Personally I find the 4.3 (124) firmware very stable and relatively bugfree. Sony stock 4.4.2 have some bugs and minor update is reportedly incoming. If you buy and got one with 4.3, installed, my recomendation is to wait updating to kitkat until the updated firmware.
Thanks for the input guys I have decided to wait for z2 compact and hope Sony will give a better quality material also I heard they gave up on ASF so I will stick to my g2 atm since 4.4.2 is absolutely brilliant on it. But definitely be waiting for the z2 compact. Sorry if I wasted your time.

Xperia Z1C owners.. i have a question about the speaker audio output quality.. i was reading the review from gsma and they mentioned about weak audio output, so what im confused about (cos i heard in many reviews) is whether the audio quality is good or not? cos volume levels can be bumped up with all the mods..
Audio for me no problem, there is a thread of mod to boot volume (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2476498) if u r rooted. For music I used V4A and better EQ quality.
there is also kitkat fix soon from sony so hopefully will sort out the kitkat bugs.

At the end of the day it's a Phone speaker so it's as good as any other Phone speaker in my opinion.
Considering the phone is water resistant to IP58, I am quite happy with the sound, I expected less.

Feature requerst
Hi,
Your rom is very good, but i think, is can to a better if getting to merge into this mod: [YKG] Real Xperia Z3 Super Stereo Sound
I think this sound mod is very-very good, and useful. This add a stereo feature for a loud speaker default (nearly, but better than the default), add a clearer sound quality for headphones, and more..
I think this is can to make a more better EVO 10 version in the future.
Thanks, for the listening, and sorry if my english is not the best
as you guys know, this rom worked perfectly with the 4k mod, it just that z1c phone have poor camera that didnt even look like 20.7mp cam. even the camera is poor when an image is zoom in when compared to others like samsung nexus.
and yes i admit that this is a phone not a camera n its a 2013 phone .
in my case the 4k and timeshift are fully working but the quality isnt near enough as 4k as its should be, mine would say 4k vid can be zoom, crop without any pixelated nor blurry.
in z1c the vid is ridiculously big in size and i would say stock cam is sufficient enough . this rom really really good as far as until today,i just do clean install and until now never had cam freeze, maybe in some phone are having freeze depending on manufacture, again really nice rom for daily use

Network issues (radio/baseband)
Hi there, I think this rom is awesome however I am having trouble getting anything above 2G. I have tried flashing stock .108 and .157 (latest) basebands without wipe etc and still can't get it to work. I think my variant is UK. Can anyone send me a working radio/baseband file please? I think the files within a stock rom FTF file should be amss_fs_2.sin, amss_fs_1/sin, amss_fsg.sin, and loader.sin. If could extract these files that work and share a link with us that would be great!
UPDATE: Downloading an older ROM where its baseband worked in the past for me http://dl.weeaboo.com/Z1Compact/D5503_14.2.A.1.114_Generic%20UK.ftf however I get signal drops.

There's no point in flashing your phone without wiping data, the difference between the kernels of the different builds will leave you with an unstable or badly performing system.
No one has reoprted no network in the KitSlim thread, that I know of. Most problems arise from a bad install where the instructions were not followed and a full wipe not completed. Wipes between firmware builds are essential because of the reason just mentioned.
If you are keen to get the latest firmware then you should head over to IaguCool' s thread on Xperia Firmware Downloader & Checker. Follow the instructuions there. You will need a copy of Flashtool and it'd be good to read the thread on 'how to' as all the instructions are there, rather than jump to the last page and ask, which is what everybody does.
A fresh wipe with the latest baseband is bound to sort your problems, then if that fixes it you can always make you way back to KitSlim

I did do a full wipe you see but you are right, after a full reinstall of the stock .108 I was able to get the network back. I was doing it right all along but for some reason when I was about to download network settings my provider (EE) was not listed. Gave them a ring and they sent me the configuration and now it's working better than previously (no signal drop outs). I know very well how to use the Flashtool and where to get it in addition to the stock roms and no I did not just jumped to the last page and ask. There are people out there who exhaust all possibilities before asking for help you know. No one having issues with network you say? Then perhaps you are the one who needs read or should I say search the thread. I will give you a hint, search for terms "radio" and "baseband" and you will all of them with no clearly stated fix. Had this issue in the past with dual recovery and root flash on stock with locked bootloader; exhausted that thread as well!

[quote name="jshotkid" post=57374400]So I have running this rom for about 2 months or so and still loving it ! How ever I have only been able to successfully enter TWRP once and that when i flashed the rom. Volume up when you see the sony logo i thought but it just vibrates and boots up. Ive been running into some bugs like it tells me SU binary needs to be updated but I cant. Also ill be selling my device soon and was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction. So far what ive found is that using the flashool i should flash 14.4.A.0.157 but I am currently on this rom which is 14.4.A.0.108? I just dont want to end up bricking my device.
**TWRP is volume down at boot**
That's still doesn't work for me. Reinstalled the one click dual recovery twice...says successful. I'm lost

Install NDR Utils, that gives you the option to restart into Phils or TWRP.
Flashing .157 via Flashtool is very easy, if done properly (select all the wipe tickboxes, but exclude TA), it will leave you with a blank up to date phone, with none of your data left on it.
Having .108 already on it will not make any difference. Obviously flashing the phone will remove recovery and root.

[Q] Help, rooting 4.4.4 (292)

I had my ZL rooted and bootlocked. I received an OTA update, tried to install it, it downloaded, tried to install but TWRP interefered whe the device restarted.
So I got sick of it, and updtated via Sony Companion.
Now I have an unrooted ZL with Android 4.4.4 - 10.5.1.A.0.292

I believe there is a thread for Z, but not specifically for ZL... Anyway, check this post for a quick summary of a rooting procedure that you need to follow. Let me know if you have any questions. As far as I am aware, you must downgrade your kernel for rooting; there is no direct method for .283 and higher. I have done it several times, works perfectly. Just a bit of a hassle with extra flashing steps...
Oh, and BTW, in my experience .292 is a bad update... I had to roll back to .283 due to noticeable lags. It looks like I am not the only one, as some other people reported similar issues. I hope it works better for you...

No sound mods as the audio boost of LeeDrOiD is workin' just fine with the build in DACs​
Used Viper for a long time and it is a great ROM. In fact I went to LeeDrOiD10 cause the tweaks on Viper10 are just so many, and most of them I've never used at all. On LeeDrOiD there are just a few tweaks, where all those I need and use are present.

Only Cool Kids Reply to Their Empty Threads
EDIT: Lol got a post while taking 10 years to write this one...so it doesn't appear as though I was my own first response...but if I wrote like a normal person, I would have been.
TL;DR - Zip below will get rid of red message during boot, REQUIRES S/OFF, if you choose to flash this I'm NOT responsible for bricked phones, this zip file works for US Unlocked HTC 10 phones - but I'll rewrite the files inside to match your CID if you need me to, not originally my work and I don't know who's it is...sorry!
-Rename the zip file 2PS6IMG.zip & place it in the external SD card
-Boot down to download mode and if it's all groovy there will be a message at the bottom outlining that it found the "2PS6IMG" zip file and will tell you to press VolUp to proceed with the flash or VolDwn to continue to the normal download mode screen options
NOTE: if your screen doesn't display that initial message at the bottom and just goes to the normal download mode options then you've named the zip file wrong. Make sure that you didn't end up with 2PS6IMG.zip.zip during the renaming process - it HAS to read 2PS6IMG.zip or download mode will not see it as it is scanning for that name exclusively!
- If you got the message go ahead and hit volume up and, when prompted at the end, hit the power button. If you're phone boots down immediately after hitting the volume up button DON'T FREAK and leave it be. It'll kick back up and finish it's thing.
- Reboot and enjoy! (First boot up may take longer than you're comfortable with, that's normal chill for a moment and it'll all work out)
(First to reply to my own thread, crazy stuff happening here...watch out! )
Never understood why the TL;DR is put at the bottom. I know I write novels...I love words but I feel the TL;DR is more thoughtful to place at the top...so you don't have to wade through the overwhelmingly copious amounts of my words to find out there was a TL;DR option. Always thinking of you :angel: however, surely there exists an individual who not only continues and reads my posts in their entirety, but is as entertained reading it as I am writing it!
.............
Anyway, since this is meant to be a thread in which we share fun rooting tweaks and whatnot, I thought I'd go ahead and add this zip file. If you aren't a fan of the red message during the boot up that appears after you've successfully rooted - I've got your solution! I do have to apologize... I'm not sure who the original creator is. My fiance sent the file to me through Bluetooth and I rewrote a couple lines in the file so it would work with my CID. I tried to find the correct individual or thread to link in order to give them the proper credit, but there were a few posts for it so I'm unsure who it is. Just know I'm not trying to claim this for my own... just sharing the love :victory:
MAKE SURE YOU ARE S/OFF BEFORE DOING THIS! YOU'RE FLASHING THIS ON YOUR OWN ACCORD, I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY SOFTWARE/ HARDWARE FAILINGS
This is for the US Unlocked phones. So if you're not US Unlocked, but you want up in this sexy zip action, let me know and I can rewrite the file for you. The CID just needs to be rewritten to match the one on your phone. As a precaution I also rewrote the "mainver" line. It had the original 1.21.531.1 (T-Mobile's current software number) to the updated 1.80.617.1 (the current software number for US Unlocked). I wanted it all lined up perfectly, just in case, however IDK if you need to rewrite the "mainver" live in that text file my phone is fully functional after the rewrite and flash so I'm confident that I took the right steps. I posted what I've got going on for my custom ROM/ Kernel in the OP, if that's important for you to know. I've got the instructions above in TL;DR - no need to repeat. Let me know if you have any questions!

No sound mods as the audio boost of LeeDrOiD is workin' just fine with the build in DACs​
Used Viper for a long time and it is a great ROM. In fact I went to LeeDrOiD10 cause the tweaks on Viper10 are just so many, and most of them I've never used at all. On LeeDrOiD there are just a few tweaks, where all those I need and use are present.

Thank you for the reply! I haven't checked LeeDrOiD10 out personally, but I saw it on my fiances phone when he got uber frustrated at a camera defect post viper update. The V10 ROM update caused our kernel to be temporarily incompatible...so he temporarily ditched V10 and tried LeeDrOiD10.
He was saying the same things as you in regards to fewer customisation's. And hebmade mention of it being a little more user friendly. But, ultimately, he returned to V10
EDIT:@5m4r7ph0n36uru what exactly does the LeeDrOiD10 ROM offer in terms of the sound boost? An equalizer? Or a little more than that. I didn't check that feature out. I didn't know it was one. My other half may have known though. We love the crazy amounts of tweaking you can do with Viper4Android in the A.R.I.S.E. MOD and all their tweak.prop files/ profiles that we can load up!
Being a spectator of LeeDrOiD10 was sufficient enough for me...only because I know myself, and I LOVE having as many options and open doors, in regards to messing around with my phone, as possible. Tis more dangerous waters to tread that way...but that's all the fun! And I'm confident enough in myself to be able to recover from most things. After all XDA has strong support to offer!
Yeah I know and it always has been fun changing nearly every detail in a ROMs behavior as it is possible on Viper10. But in fact I guess I'm maturing from this phase in my live where modding was the one and only, as we'd say in germany.
In fact I'm getting older and less fascinated by all those features. Maybe it'll come a time when I'll again become fascinated by modding and tuning every tiny bit of a ROM, but at the moment I really just need some basics.

There's a flavor for everyone! And our taste buds change over time for sure. So long as you're happy with your phone and its features, that's all that matters!
