Here we go.
Logs taken after a fresh boot, tried to start wifi, camera, and turned the phone until the screen turns by 180°.
I have overwritten my IMEI with "xxx".

OK, just installed the ROMv2 and the Z1-Stock_C6903_FW_4.3_Files on my C6903.

It booted and feels really snappy.

Mobile Data, Bluetooth, NFC, GPS is working.

Wifi can not be turned on. Camera is dead.
Also my screen turns by 180° after some usage.

Can i provide you some logs or information before restoring nandroid?

Thanks for confirming that the C6903 package worked!

@DooMLoRD I confirm that flashing the fw works also on mine.

Here some logs, I have zillions of those:

You got the spotlight in either the xda portal or somehow you got noticed in at least one of my rss feeds xD

Gps could be fixed coping from a z1 4.3 room:

Code:
# system/bin/gpsone_daemon
# system/etc/gps.conf
# system/lib/hw/gps.default.so

In same path and perms.

Some feedback.
I've tested for day so far, the ROM is very stable, but when I used framework exposed it bacame unstable and reboot by it self, so I removed and every thing is fine.
GPS teste using Endomondo for running worked perfect!
Bluetooth using car kit for call and headset for music with Deezer working perfect too.
Just one thing I tried to test and I'm not sure, is NFC I have the QX10 camera, and when I tried to pair it find the camera but did not pair, I don't know if it's because we don't have the camera working or if NFC is not working :confused:
Battery is really fine.
Now just waiting for Wifi and camera!
Excellent work here guys!! I really apriciate!!
Thank you!

    [ info ]

    ok guys so I was testing few things... saw that the Sony ZU GPE was released and then saw the disk dumps in this thread:
    http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2570197


    since sony was kind enough to release the kernel sources for the ZU GPE.. i just corrected the kernel sources to support Z1 (as both devices have same board) and managed to get a bootable kernel..

    I think this is now clear for public testing!

    so far:
    • kernel boots
    • device boots in OS
    • phone calls work
    • bluetooth works
    • audio playback works
    • video playback works
    • 3G data works
    • GPS works
    • NFC works
    • camera doesnt work [for now :p]
    • wifi now works [WiFi FIX]

    i invite all interested devs to help with fixing the broken stuff!
