Now can hard reset and all but screen still won't show anything.

When charge with USB cable, the red LED blinks, slow rate.every 1.5 secs or so per blink

what u did to make it back to live? or it just resurrected by itself? LOL

By itself. LOL.

I actually packed it up in the box dy. Then around 5PM i was like.... oh well, let's try again....

ABLE TO SEE RED LED NOW. OMG*ASHYE*(DYU@*(YU#$*(#$U$*!@(#$()_@!*$

LOL (y) Sony exclusive self regeneration function..

maybe ur battery ad kong yesterday..

Maybe, but been charging some time now, still unable to switch on

maybe try straight to flashmode?

It'll just sound like on-off all the time.

Thanks for the info. I normally average 2 - 3 hours SOT and I'm a light user, so I imagine if I got a z1, i would really love the battery.

Wow, 2 days?!!? Nice.

Good for you!! Never give up!!

It died again FML

Received the OTA update..not sure if i should upgrade it.. Dont have any recovery installed...totally forgot the steps on how to flash reflash it

So either my update via OTA works or i have unroot..reflash down back .534 and update to .290 or maybe just forget root alltogether and update via PC Companion

Anyways..perfectly content with the current OS as it is..really not much of a noticeable difference between 4.2 & 4.3...

You have recovery installed? Seems like the OTA will fail with recovery installed from what ive read..i havent got recovery installed chances of mine being successfull is there but im nott sure if i wanna go through the hassle of flashing and stuffs..

You plan to update yours?

nope, reflashed my ftf and redo everything so the recovery gone ad.. the result is still quite unknown for now.. i posted a link earlier, there're different situation happened

1. with recovery 100% going to fail of course.. or fail due to other reason
2. update and root access gone
3. update and retain partial root only

read from xda.. definitely no case that can update from OTA and retain full root.. sony did something i guess lol

Ah okay..so you do plan to update..okay let us know how it goes when you so do it im keen to know if OTA without recovery works although im not planning to update unless i have the time to play with it which seems highly unlikely for now..

Need root on my phone

Try restarting your device.. Happened to me before by receiving an error saying your device is not compatible. After a reboot themes are showing like normal and can be downloaded already.

Just curious, do you guys notice any improvement on the camera on 4.3? I don't have z1 but just asking.

It quite did on auto focus. Now focus sharper than before.

you mean overall photo quality is sharper now?

as much as i observed.

thanks lol.
