[MOD]Widgetlocker iphone Lockscreen[Come Share your PNGs! - Updated 01/11/10]

Ok guys here's my first contribution to the community I guess.
First of all thanks to;
frostman89 - for the iphone pngs
teslacoil - for the widgetlocker for sure!
others - those that contributed that i forgot.
I take no credit at all, i created this thread because many people have PM'ed me for the pngs and tutorial.
Ok lets start shall we? You will need;
- Widgetlocker(Buy it first cuz its not free)
- Root Explorer(Buy it too and this is optional if you dont know adb)
- the PNG files, download here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8731533&postcount=31 >> Thanks frostman89! OR from my dropbox;

Got 2 steps on how to do this;
1) ADB
2) Root Explorer
3) My own steps(this is what i did to get it working!!)
4) Ninjamorph(S-OFF required)
5) Paypal buyer~~
6) Easier method - simple script
7) What if FC after applied the mod?
BEFORE THAT, NANDROID first!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) ADB(google would help a lot)
*Btw make sure you have your widgetlocker completely removed/uninstalled before doing this.
a. You will need Android SDK installed (google for it will ya?).
b. "adb pull" your widgetlocker(anyone who did this can tell me please?)
c. Open your "pulled" apk using winrar.
d. Browse to /res/drawable-hdpi
e. Drop those 2 images you downloaded in there(make sure it is the exact name as the original so it will overwrite it.
f. Now for adb push part(make sure you in the recovery mode and make sure the widgetlocker.apk is put inside android-sdk-windows/tools folder - the default folder for adb);
Code:
adb remount
adb push com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1.apk /system/app/com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1.apk
adb reboot
g. Tada! Enjoy!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
2) Root Explorer
*Btw make sure you have your widgetlocker completely removed/uninstalled before doing this.
a. Browse the app in data/app, it is called com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1.apk
b. Copy it to your SD card.
c. Modify it(see step d and e above)
d. Put it back into system/app(you need to be in R/W mode)
e. After that, long click the app, select permissions, and do checkmarks like this: (the * represents a checkmark) - this is courtesy of frostman89
* . * . -
* . - . -
* . - . -
f. Reboot and voila!
==========================================================
3. My own steps!
Actually my steps is mixed between those 2 because, I can't pull using adb so i had to pull using Root Explorer. Then I cant push it using Root Explorer so i had to adb push them.
So there you go, if you have problems like me, just did what i did.
a. Browse the app in data/app, it is called com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1.apk
b. Copy it to your SD card.
c. Modify it(see step d and e above)
f. adb push(make sure you in the recovery mode and make sure the widgetlocker.apk is put inside android-sdk-windows/tools folder - the default folder for adb);
Code:
adb remount
adb push com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1.apk /system/app/com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1.apk
adb reboot
I'll tell you guys too why i cant use adb pull and push using root explorer;
adb pull - easy, i dont know how to adb at that time...haha~~
paste using root explorer - i pasted it but nothing appeared? i was like wtf and that leads me to learn how to adb.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4) Ninjamorph(S-OFF required)
I'm not sure how but here is what faceqt told me;
Or, if you have S-OFF you can use Ninjamorph to replace the 2 .png's and reboot your phone.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5) Paypal buyer~~
Quoted from jayhan73;
For people who have purchaed WidgetLocker off paypal, the steps to do this only involves replacing the png files (i.e. opening the apk file sent to your email and adding the png files into the required directory). After that, reinstall the widgetlocker. You may also choose to push the apk via adb. Either way, it works.

Click to collapse
But i believe once you mod it you can't install it normally, so its either adb or root explorer.
6)Easier method - Smple script as posted by brady;
brady1uk said:
There is a much easier way to get this on your phone using the files from the OP without faffing around on adb, rom manager etc...
download APK manager from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695701
put the apk file in the "place-apk-here-for-modding"
run the script.bat and extract it, (basically unzips it) drop the new PNG files in /res/drawable-hdpi (replace already existing) then run zip.apk from script and (select option 2 Regular apk) then use option 4 sign apk.
look in the pace-apk-here-for-modding folder will be a new file called 'something'-signed.apk. (this is the new edited Widgetlocker
This file you can put on your SD card and Install and Uninstall like a normal apk using ASTRO etc. no need for ADB and root explorer.
Takes literally 5 minutes to do with NO RISK to your phone
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
7) What if FC after applying the mod?
Is WidgetLocker Force Closing after you've applied the mod?
Quoted from zHK3r
Then try these steps:
Requirements:
Android SDK
HTC Sync Drivers
WidgetLocker
Two PNGs
7zip/WinRAR
1) ADB pull /data/app/com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1.apk
2) Rename the .apk to .zip and open the folder - Drop the two PNGs in drawable-hdpi
3) Rename the .zip back to .apk
On your phone: Uninstall WidgetLocker and then re-install.
Start WidgetLocker, but once you've started it. Press home.
Don't apply any settings or continue the tutorial
4) ADB push com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1.apk /data/app/teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1-apk
On your phone: Start WidgetLocker > Menu > Settings > Look and Feel > Slider & Layout > iPhone
Code:
adb devices
adb remount
adb pull data/app/teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1-apk
adb push com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1.apk /data/app/teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1-apk
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Btw if you have any problems pushing an apk, try this;
Quoted from Zaphyr;
Ok, so I figured out the problem.
/system wasn't mounted. Even in recovery when I tried to push it over, I needed to go in the Clockwork settings and choose mount system before I could push it.
But now it works perfectly! YAY!!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
*I'm pretty sure it'll work the same for other lockscreen you wanted as long as you have the needed files.
Feel free to comment and give feedbacks, and correct me if i got wrong in some part. Enjoy!

Or, if you have S-OFF you can use Ninjamorph to replace the 2 .png's and reboot your phone.
Works a charm!

replace with which .pngs?
you didnt told.....

Just drop it inside the res>drawable hdpi - it'll replace by itself, that being said, it will replace the existing file(meaning slider_iphone and slider_iphone_background). You can back up the original files if you want.

Download widget locker, back it up using astro, take the apk from sd/backups/apps and put it on your pc desktop, change the extention from .apk to .zip (just right click then go to rename and make the changes) with winzip, go to the drawable_hdpi folder then copy the above instructions for which files to delete, download the png from the first post, put it in drawable_hdpi.
After that, rename it back to .apk, put it on your sd card and install via astro. Make sure to delete the version you have installsd on your phone first just to be safe.
Hope that works anyway, its just killed my thumbs

I had to do it this way, because I could not find the apk in data/app
But after I modded it I could not install it normally
I tried pushing it to data/app and rebooted....but then what? I still haven't got widgetlocker installed?

Install your own apps via xRecovery - Collection of xRecovery files

Hi Guys!
Now that finally the devs arrived with some amazing ROMs, I change these ROMs a lot every day. But I experienced some problems because I often do that at work where I don't have adb shell available. So I created an xRecovery zip-file to install Android Terminal Emulator before booting into the ROM the first time.
That gave me the idea to offer you some zip-files with useful (free) applications you perhaps want to have pre-installed on any ROM before booting it.
I also attached two blank zip-files where you can easily add your own apps, perhaps a preferred keyboard in your language or whatever you want to push onto your phone via xRecovery.
If somebody's interested we could turn this into some kind of collection for universally usable xRecovery files.
How to use the blank zip-files:
To use this method, you need to have the app available as an apk-file, of course.
If you have the app already installed on the ROM you're looking to replace, you can just use a root file manager like Root Explorer to copy and paste the apk file from \data\app\ to your SD card.
If you cannot get the apk file, you can request it here or send me a PM and I'll try to prepare the zip-file for you. Don't ask me to do this with paid apps! This whole method is meant to be used with free apps and I will not add or support warez in any form!
Okay, now let's start. As you can see, I attached two blank zip-files: blank_data-app.zip and blank_system-app.zip. Why two of them?
There are basically two locations where you'll want to install your own apk's:
\data\app\ --> contains all non-system-relevant user apps and should be your choice in most cases. If you install here, you can easily uninstall the apps later if you don't need them anymore.
\system\app\ --> contains system-relevant and pre-installed apps such as vending.apk / phonebook.apk / Email.apk / Gmail.apk / Calender.apk / etc.
Only install here if you want to replace one of these apps with a themed one or if you want to force-update market for example! It's not possible to uninstall anything you installed here the usual way! You'll have to use Titanium Backup or another third-party app.
Only overwrite existing apps in this folder if you know what you're doing!
So, just choose where you want to install your app, open (NOT extract!) the corresponding file with a zip-file manager of your choice (I'd recommend 7Zip or WinRAR) and drag the apk-file you want to install into data\app\ (for blank_data-app.zip) or system\app\ (for blank_system-app.zip. pretty obvious, huh? ). Confirm to copy the file there and close the zip file.
That's it. Now you just have to give your zip-file an appropriate name and push it onto your SD card to install it via xRecovery-->install custom zip-->choose custom zip from sdcard.
__________________________________________________
Some comments on the zip-files attached:
- Android_Terminal_Emulator.zip:
This is useful if you installed a new ROM and experience problems like flashing homescreen or no GSM/data connection. In that case, open ATE and type the following:
su (confirm SuperUser rights)
busybox killall servicemanager
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This will restart the phone and hopefully solve your problems. (I know this mini guide seems not to fit here, but perhaps someone reads it before spamming the dev thread with questions that were answered a thousand times )
- JIT_Enabler_v2-zdz.zip:
all KUDOS go to zdzihu. Make sure you visit his thread to always get the latest version of JIT Enabler.
Note that you only need this file on 2.1 ROMs where JIT Enabler isn't pre-enabled! On 2.2+ ROMs JIT is always included.
- New Market V2.2.11.zip:
Make sure to sign into your google account and open market once (accept licence agreement) before you update to the new market. Many people experience problems if they don't do this!
- TitaniumBackup-3.6.7.1.zip:
You can also create this file yourself. If you open TB and tap on Settings-->more... there's an option to create an update.zip
- XDA_app.zip:
Useful for any kind of problems of course
__________________________________________________
So, not much of a collection at the moment, but perhaps there's interest for something like that. If you know something that will come handy to have it preinstalled, just tell me!
Cheers

i like that point of view! well i only found one for creating a whole update. zip for a rom with android kitchen I can explain some of the basics inside this zip file this evening after work. a zip just for installing apps is created quite easily. it gets more complicated if you have to set permissions and things like that.

good idea!
thanks

Great! thanks a lot for this useful guide, I will use it.
Just one question in the same line like mezo, If I already have a rom zip file and I want to add to this rom the apps, would it be possible? and Could you explain us? or its just copy the files inside the \data\app\ folder?
Thanks again for your help.

Great idea, thanks!

As long as the apps aren't system-relevan, it's as easy as that, yes
For all of you willing to learn more: I'm quite a noob, too, but I'll try to make a tutorial on how to create recovery zip-files as soon as I can.
Won't be today though, because I'll go out to party into my birthday this evening
So long,

You can use the Android Kitchen to create custom zip files, I use the Cygwin method as it makes file management a little easier imo.

Great idea man, a lot of thanks!

1 zip - several apps
Is it possible to create one zip to install several apk's?
Maybe I have a few "stock" apps, the ones that I always need, and want to install all in a single step.
Can this be done or I have to install one by one even using xRecovery?
Thanks!
Great tuto and thank you for sharing

Hello all. Ihave a problem with xRecovery 0.2 (the last release) when I reboot my phone holding the back button a few moments after the SE Logo appears, it doesn't work. I've installed it with the xRecovery installer and with the FlashTool with BusyBox 1.17 installed. I'm on a X10 2.1 Generic . Thaks

Firstly, the xRecovery depends upon its version of busybox. In the version I use it is 1. 15. 3
So re-install xRecovery(just in case).
Secondly, u don't hv to keep the back key pressed but tap it a few times repeatedly during the screen with "Sony Ericsson" logo.
Hope this helps.

sorry, backup and restore only works with stock se rom and mods based on it (like kx10 or blue sparks,...). it's impossible to install on any 2.2/2. 3 or 2.1 AOSP rom.

hey im having a problem.
I know that you will say "this belong to another thread" but since this way i can trick the thing and install again the system apps like the Package administrator etc, i need to know what to do in mi case with this method:
mi BETA3 was working smooth!
iv been using the BETA3 a long time but some days ago, suddently i couldn't install apps anymore (thouse that are in mi SD or frome the market...not even Applanet...nothing)
The screen shows the "barber shop black and white" bar rolling and rolling and never stop.
Mi USB detection is not working, that means that mi PC is recognazing the phone (it sound like a UYSB is been conected) but never apear the folder of the SD. nto even options of debugging usb etc in the notification bar of the device.
and when i get in Settings> runing aplications, all aplication are in "calculating..." mode. so they say 00 mb. and never stop triying to get the numbers. its so odd.
the other aplication (that came installed with the BETA) works fine.
I have tryed, erasing the firmwares and isntalling them from the beginning and everything worked fine with old firms like 2.0 and 2.1 update1. too!
then i do the root (first z4root, then busybox, then xRecovery) and make xrecovery work. install the beta 3, and again i can't do anything.
i triyed installing the BETA4 but never stop rebooting so i just yield and stick with BETA3.
any idea..plzzz!!! i really don't whon't to use Eclair...it's just so ugly!!

it's not working on mi xRecovery. i put the apps insinde app folder of thwe .zip and put it in a random folder of mi SD, then do >the Recovery > install custom.zip>Choose from SD card>confirm install the selected "blank_data-app.zip".
and it say:
Finding update package.....
opening update package.....
E i asume E means Error!) can't open blablabla/blblabla folder/blank_data-app.zip (bad)
installation Abnorted.
i asume iv done something wrong...!?!?
PS: BTW can somebody sen me the original .apk of FROYO bwecasue i can't find them , to use the system-apps.zip
thanxxx!!!

Seems like a nice little tool for tweaking ROMs a bit. Hopefully you can add more features in the future, but even as it is, it should be handy for anyone who wants to tweak ROMs a little bit. By my understanding, it should allow the removal of preinstalled rubbish from stock ROMs, right?

I see you are using Ionic.Zip.dll the same one I used in Droid Manager for creating Custom Roms Too
But you have an issue bro
1- Make My Rom button doesn't work on the first run, I had to close and reopen the program.
2- the result zipped ROM will fail to flash in CWM & is twice in size than the original ROM
why it will fail, because if you open the result zipped file you will find a folder that has the project's title and the ROM files are inside that folder.
while CWM checks for META-INF folder on the root directory of the zipped ROM.
The reason why it's twice in size than the original ROM is because after the program unzips the base rom it doesn't delete it from workspace which causing "Ionic.Zip.dll" to include it in the result zipped rom making it twice in size than the original ROM.
Also please note that adding a data folder in the project will not lead into having anything inside /data/app after the rom is flashed because the updater-script must be modified to include the commands which tell CWM to: A- Mount Data Partition. B- Extract contents of data folder in the zipped file to Data Partition on the phone.
Also it would be better if your program doesn't fully remove the files from the hard disk, rather than just moving them to Recycle bin it's safer, since they can be retrieved
I'm sorry for that comment but I thought I would give you a quick feedback since it's the main step in making a better program
Good luck

does this support aroma installer ?
Any way,big thanks to you dude

2- the result zipped ROM will fail to flash in CWM & is twice in size than the original ROM
why it will fail, because if you open the result zipped file you will find a folder that has the project's title and the ROM files are inside that folder.
while CWM checks for META-INF folder on the root directory of the zipped ROM.
The reason why it's twice in size than the original ROM is because after the program unzips the base rom it doesn't delete it from workspace which causing "Ionic.Zip.dll" to include it in the result zipped rom making it twice in size than the original ROM.
Also please note that adding a data folder in the project will not lead into having anything inside /data/app after the rom is flashed because the updater-script must be modified to include the commands which tell CWM to: A- Mount Data Partition. B- Extract contents of data folder in the zipped file to Data Partition on the phone.
Also it would be better if your program doesn't fully remove the files from the hard disk, rather than just moving them to Recycle bin it's safer, since they can be retrieved
I'm sorry for that comment but I thought I would give you a quick feedback since it's the main step in making a better program
Good luck

Thanks a bunch for your suggestions. Wow...I just learned my lesson of why I should never leave catch statemetns empty lol. And I didn't know that about the data/app folder thing. I went back and added some code to add lines to the setup-script though I haven't tested it yet, so I'll see if that works. Haha, but thanks again for helping me catch those bugs, lol tell me if you find anymore.

Seems like a nice little tool for tweaking ROMs a bit. Hopefully you can add more features in the future, but even as it is, it should be handy for anyone who wants to tweak ROMs a little bit. By my understanding, it should allow the removal of preinstalled rubbish from stock ROMs, right?

[Q] Lenovo IdeaPad S5000-H 3G call option

Hi,
I'd like to ask you, if is there someone who knows, how to make Lenovo S5000 3G (with SIM slot) calling?
Could it be similar like on >Lenovo A 3000< ??? Bcs I really hope so.. :angel:
Thanks to all for your answers!!!!!
:fingers-crossed:

pls help me..........
i need call option for lenovo S5000

The Chinese version has call option. but it doesn't have Google Apps and you can't install one. the international version on the other hand has gapps but only supports SMS and data connection.

Is there any workaround to add in the Gapps to Chinese ROM or add in the calling function from China ROM to international ROM?
IMO i think the baseband is the key point in this case.

I followed and tried the instructions and it WORKED! Now I have the call feature of my Lenovo S5000 but I have hard time with the root or SUperuser in the S5000 since it is chinese. I checked my root (thru Root Checker) and it is rooted. If somebody knows the name or can change the language of the "Superuser" in the Screenshot, I really appreciate.

All the links provided are active and alive. There's no problem in downloading.
The ROM is not rooted hence you need to root using the SRoot. SRoot is in chinese so just open the exe file, plug your device and click "ROOT". Just wait for the "confirmation" before unplugging your device. You can verify by Root Checker. The "SuperUser" used in the root is in chinese language, see my previous post and screenshots.
I can help you in adding Gapps.
1.Download and extract the GApps rar file.
2. After extracting you can see these: 2 folders and one file
Folder 1: META-INF
Folder 2: System
File: install-optional.sh
3. In your device, browse files using any File Explorer supporting Root, Let say "Root Explorer". Mount the "System" folder to RW so that you can copy the files in Step#2.
4. In copying the Files in Step#2, the "Root Explorer" app is very easy in doing these.
4.1 Copy the "META-INF" folder and paste directly to the "System" folder in your device.
4.2 Copy the "install-optional.sh" file and paste directly to the "System" folder in your device.
4.3 Open the folder "System" 5 subfolders namely: add-on, app, etc, framework, lib
4.3.1 Copy the "add-on" folder directly to the "System" folder in your device.
4.3.2 Copy the all the files from "app" folder and paste directly to the existing "app" subfolder in the "System" folder in your device.
4.3.3 Copy the all the files from "etc" folder and paste directly to the existing "etc" subfolder in the "System" folder in your device.
4.3.4 Copy the all the files from "framework" folder and paste directly to the existing "framework" subfolder in the "System" folder in your device.
4.3.5 Copy the all the files from "lib" folder and paste directly to the existing "lib" subfolder in the "System" folder in your device.
5. Reboot your device. You have now GApps.

That is my problem too so what I did, I just guessed up the buttons I clicked. I just presumed that the buttons on right ride are the "OK" buttons, while left are "Cancel". And I ended an S5000 that has calling features. :victory:

The ROM is almost perfect. The only bug I found (or maybe not) is the poor reception of GPS signal when I installed the Sygic Navi, but I found solution to that. My battery lasts longer and a very heavy usage of the Tab, 3G data is on as well, about 60% left after the end of each day. Regular call functions also very clear especially when I updated the dialer. I applied the Galaxy Launcher and I really love it more that my Samsung GS4. Radio was also included (I don't know if the SMS-only ROM includes radio)

can't root use sroot

This is the screenshot of SRoot. All you have to do is click "ROOT"and leave our device until a popup will come.
After doing this, install to your S5000 the Root Checker app to verify your root. Good luck.

OTA update could not verified

hi
i m in 14?4.A.0.108 second edition on z1 compact and root and cwm and xposed instaled
j ever do my update with ota but at this time after update my phone says " could not verified" and the new firmware 14.4.A.0.157 is not installed
my bootlooder is locked and j didnt understant what is the propleme !!!!!
can you please help
thank you

You need to go back to stock before the OTA will install.. That means no xposed and any apps that you've uninstalled that came with the ROM need to be installed again..
A factory reset could do it, but if you do that then you will lose all your user data.. So make backups of everything you want to save before you do that.
If that doesn't work then you'll have to completely reflash the stock ROM, then try to download the OTA.. But that would be senseless as you'd be saving yourself time and downloads by just flashing the updated stock ROM

did you deodexed your rom? i have xposed, SU, recovery installed, but got no problem update to 157 via OTA...

I had the same problem, just install the new update via PC companion, you won't loose any data. One thing you'll loose is root

Hey i have the same problem! I just dont have high speed internett to figure out what it is. Or download ftf.

I have the same problem, some one with one solution, of any one knows if it worth it?
Sent from my D5503 using XDA Free mobile app

PC Companion is the Solution?
I recently had drama of a similar nature - used PC companion successfully as a workaround.

If is here someone, who still has this problem, look into /cache/recovery/fota/ and open "report" file. If you are not able to open this - it ends with error, just copy it into internal storage or SD Card.
First of all, you need to find a lines which looks like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The important part is rb_file_open[4]. If this line ends with "could not stat file" or someting like this, you need to download this zip https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-79RLdvfasJMV9ZM2dfVEZtRnM/view?usp=sharing and copy/paste the missing file into your system. Don't forget to change permissions RW+R+R
If this won't help, you probably also have installed 4k mod and your "report" file looks exactly the same like the what I post above.
So, if yes, than download this zip https://mega.co.nz/#!QZYkGZZR!BL9dkTpPzPcClEz8our776jpXpia827mYEd5lCM3OvI and replace all files in your system with the files in this zip. Again, don't forget to change permissions RW+R+R and reboot your phone.
Now you should be able to update your phone with/over OTA. Thanks pcpepik from xperia.cz

Thanks play3man.
just by going through your post i was directed in the right way for resolve this issue. Though i did not follow the exact steps that you mentioned, but, the "rb_file_open[4]" really helped. Here is what i did:
1. Using ES File Explorer i navigated to /cache/recovery/fota/ and opened "report" file
2. Went all the way down (actually somewhere almost 3/4th down) and located the line rb_file_open[4]
3. This line actually said it is trying to open the Build.Prop file and mentions the size of that file in the end of that line.
4. I suddenly remembered that i had edited my Build.Prop file a few weeks back for some testing (ro.ril.enable.dtm=1) Like i said i was doing some testing. Though this setting does not work with my Mobile Service Provider (Airtel) here in India for 2G Networks. But I had kept the setting as it is and never bothered reverting it.
5. So what i did was, edited my build.prop file again and reverted that setting by deleting this line which i had added a few days back.
6. Rebooted my phone
7. Downloaded the OTA again, and tried installing it.
8. And it was a great success . LOL It Worked!!!!
So basically, this error, "Could not verify", could also simply mean that the System files are missing/corrupt or as simple as modified by the user and hence the verification could not complete. So people who have their Build.Prop file modified by one means or other (Manually, Scripted, or by Xposed) You may face this issue and may want to try this method and then make all those settings in build.prop file after installing the update. You could also temporarily revert the old build.prop file which you may have backed up somewhere before modifying it.
Hope this helps!!!

The second line ([1]) ends with could not state file? If yes, continue from that line with steps from my original post
You have deodexed rom, so the phone is probably missing way more original files, so that's why it ends already on second line

For me OTA updater complains about
rb_file_open[4]: //system/priv-app/psmselfupdater.odex
and apk, but the system dump you provided doesn't have it.

I have the same error on a stock Z1C, only rooted. I think if we could get the file from somewhere we could drop it on and the OTA would complete, and we'd probably keep root ?

Thank you for the /cache/recovery/fota/report trick. It seems my phone was missing /system/app/SonyEntrance.odex and .apk - I am not sure how this happened or what those files are for.
Edit: Seems it's because I removed 'What's New' :cyclops:
