if not mistaken its going to be same as some of the custom rom out there.. root access still there but unable to mount /system for RW access..

Unfortunately, mine is not reacting to anything.

Not even fastboot.

Actually I don't understand what's the meaning of full root here.

if my understanding is not wrong, it means we couldnt WRITE to system partition.. eg: focus button to turn screen on cant do because we cant write to the gpio-keys.kl file.. but they claim that apps that required root access still working, maybe those app only requires READ access..

i'll try do the OTA update when i get it.. no sign of it yet :\

@@" this is really bad..

Sh1t. The last time I bricked something, it was an iPhone 3GS. Stuck in a bootloop as well. What did the xda forums say so far? Any hope of recovery?

Mine macam no hope. Sending back to Sony tomorrow.

If bootloop I'm not scared. Mine currently brick to the state it'll not respond.

lol bro. still have to say thank you to you. all because of your efforts of trying out the different methods to discover the correct root for .290


just an advice, try using the wall charger to charge it ?

why not just straight away update. then u will know

if like this i guess no problem... bcoz our gpio-keys.kl file already edited before right? once update will go back to original file ?

lol forget about the OTA. if you're rooted you will fail on OTA

reported in xda

Have you tried using a pen to press the red reset button next to the SIM tray? Try this while plugged in and charging from the wall socket and without. Hope that helps.

does anyone face memory leak on 4.3?

Yup. Just tried to update. Failed...

But I think it's because of the recovery. Any way to uninstall the recovery?

Done. Also no cure, charged over the night, woke up, no cure also.

Chances are due to recovery. Try removing recovery. If you're using XZDR, you just need to delete its files via Root Explorer. but i forgot the location you need to check on XDA.

Do you ahve recovery? Remove then try OTA again. Root will not affect OTA but recovery does, as far as I know during my experiment to preserve root yesterday.
