[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
Like I said, kernels come packaged within a ROM. You can flash a different compatible one if you want to after you flash the ROM, but it's not necessary. Remember compatibility is key here, so for instance you can't flash a sense kernel on a non-sense ROM.

Flashing a kernel doesn't touch hboot or recovery, it just replaces the boot.img inside /system.

With that ROM, it's best to change hboot before you flash the ROM for optimal internal memory, should be compatible with cm7r2 hboot from alpharev.nl, recommend to learn to flash it using fastboot.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shoeseat:
Thankx for this valuable info.I am very patient on learning first and flashing when i fully understand what i need to do.And since it's my friends phone,i don't want to brick it :o.Any chance of brick with wrong kernel or hboot flash? :silly:

Also in current recovery 4ext,i keep getting '/system' is read only and need to format all partition warning popup.Is this due to stock rom or something wrong with recovery.Also can i install cm7r2 hboot 'PB99IMG_cm7r2.zip' like you explained in first post? Copy it to root sd card and boot to hboot and it will ask of update recovery? or i need to flash it? I need to use cm7r2 hboot if i need to flash Cynogenmod based roms like CM7,CM10.1 etc? For stock rom i use Bravo Stock and for sense roms i use Bravo Sense from AlphaRec site?

Can i use this tool(http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=823315) to flash kernel/hboot etc?It's not outdated?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chromium:
Flashing kernels wont brick youre phone. I accidentally flashed a few sgs3 kernels when i was a little n00b, but this wont cause any permanent damage. The phone obviously wont boot, but after a full wipe and reinstall of a compatible kernel all should be fine. There is a chance however that flashing hboots could brick the phone, but its pretty low. You would have to flash a corrupted hboot, or disrupt the flashing.

I usually just ignore that 4ext warning. It pops up from time to time, but it should stop happening once youre done installing a new hboot/wiping/flashing a rom. You can flash an hboot using the PB99IMG method as well (its easier than fastboot). Download the PB99IMG_cm7r2.zip from alpharev.nl and flash it using this very straight forward guide. And no, you dont just use cm7r2 hboot just because a rom is cm. cm7r2 will only work if the system size of the rom is less than 145mb. For mildwilds cm-8.0 JG it will work fine. Dont use that tool for flashing the hboot...use the guide i linked.

Thankx a lot for all the help.I have successfully installed on of ruu stock gingerbread ROM .I flasehd kernel and rom zip both from 4ext recovery.One last question.While installing ROM zip at last it displayed some message about boot image. Does Rom zip flash it's kernel while installing ROM and we don't need to flash kernel zip separately?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abaaaabbbb63:
Each ROM has a kernel included. You don't have to flash a kernel separately.

Thankx a lot.This clears my doubt.

i got one of this bloody devices which say bootloader unlock allowed: no

will there be a solution for this issue sometime in the future or is it simply impossible to change this state?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alnikki25k:
Is your phone tied to a carrier? If yes, then no. You can't change that.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fl_Indigo:
not anymore, it was mobilkom A1 locked, but i already unlocked it (without resulting in a change of the bootloader allowed status...)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shoey63:
How did you manage that?

Or is it only SIM you unlocked?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akusokuzan:
clearly only sim unlocked. sim unlocking doesnt change the bootloader unlock status
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fl_Indigo:
yep, just SIM unlocked - so there will be NEVER a solution for this issue?

T-Mobile

I just got off chat with T-Mobile and explained that I owned my xperia z which I bought from E-Bay. I explained in detail that I wanted to develope roms for it and that since I owned it I needed them to authorize me to have unlocked by Sony. All I got was some serious run around that they don't unlock bootloaders only sim carrier which I understand but since they are the one that had Sony lock it they should be able to help me get it unlocked. So to make this story end the person I was chatting with got upset because my last comment was that T-Mobile got Sony to lock it and that they couldn't help me get it unlocked. There last comment was about not supposed root the phone and before I could read the full response they disconnected. People are so rude when they are not talking to you face to face so don't bother talking to T-Mobile they don't want to hear it. Ranting finished.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fl_Indigo:
who is it then who could take the lock away? the carrier or the vendor? who locks the phone in the end? does the carrier get the phones already locked from the vendor or is the carrier locking the phones before they sell them?

is there anyone who knows this?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimmydee62:
From what I have read and heard T-Mobile has Sony lock the bootloader and they have to authorize Sony to unlock again. Maybe I'm wrong but that is what I know about it.

I got a mini netbook (win7) and a laptop (win8). Recently the plug for my netbook was spoiled, but the power supply is still working fine. Is it safe if I use the plug from my laptop and then connecting it to the power supply of my netbook to power it up? Will this do any bad? Thank you.
[Windows 8 General] SixSixSevenSeven:
You mean the small section of cable that connects between the wall and the "brick" if you will. Those are standardised with the intention of it being safe to use them between devices.

If you mean that actual power brick that then connects to the laptop: no. Not always anyway (more often no than yes)
[Windows 8 General] nikctsh:
Yup, I mean the cable that connects to the wall and the "brick" thing. I use the cable of my laptop, and connecting it with the "brick" of my netbook to run my netbook. This is safe is it?
[Windows 8 General] SixSixSevenSeven:
All those cables do is provide a way of getting 230/240/110/whatever your country uses as its mains voltages to the charger. They are a standardised connector. Nothing more to it.

The Ultimate Xperia Z1 Guide​

== Information ==

On this thread I'll post information about Rooting, Backup of TA, Flashtool, recovering from softbrick etc. So this thread is aimed to provide as much usefull info as possible.

== General information about Xperia Z1 ==

You can check all specifications here: Sony Mobile
[Xperia Z1 General] krabappel2548:
Part 1, 2, 3 & 4: Downgrade, Root, backup TA and unlock the bootloader​

== Part 1: Downgrading the Xperia Z1 ==

To be able to root your Xperia Z1 when it has Jellybean 4.3fw or later you need to downgrade it first to be able to use a rooting toolkit, you can succesfully downgrade by downloading this ftf:

- Torrent: 14.1.G.1.534 torrent

- XDA DevDB: 14.1.G.1.534 downgrade FTF

All you need to do to downgrade to a working 14.1.G.1.534 is flashing this ftf in Flashtool. If you don'tknow how to flash an ftf move to the part about FlashTool in this guide :)

== Part 2: Rooting the Xperia Z1 ==

It seems rooting at the moment will work with a tool called 360rot, you can download it here: 360 root homepage. this tool sadly is in chinese language, I'll try to find out which rooting method it uses ot create an English exploit.

You can also use vroot, I'll discuss this one too :)

VRoot guide:

- You need to download vroot here: vroot homepage

- Install vroot, I just clicked next, next, next until it finished installation :p I don't understand Chinese, but I rooted my phone :D

- Open up vroot and connect your Xperia Z1, you need to get something like this:

- Click the green button to start rooting

- When it finished you're phone will restart and you'll get this:

_ Voila, your phone is now rooted :)

For now this is the guide I made, thanks to [MENTION=2546099]yeeson[/MENTION] for helping me with translating the chinese and giving me screenshots for root 360 :D

- Download and open 360 root

- You'll get a prompt about needing to close the following conflicting service before continuing: adb.exe

- turn on usb-debugging in settings => developer options, and connect your phone

- Open 360 Root again, at this time the upper left corner shows a red font but it isn't to root:

- Click the green button in the bottom right corner, this button is to start rooting your device:

- Progress bar will advance automatically, it can restart a few times, just let it do it's magic! :D

- When it finished, on top there will be a message: Congratulations, rooting was succesfull:

- To get Root permissions, click the green button in the bottom right corner again now.

- Then the top left corner displays a blue font, this means you are rooted:

== Part 2: Backup TA ==

To backup your TA partition you can use this wonderfull tool created by [MENTION=5261329]DevShaft[/MENTION]

You can find it here: [Tool] Backup TA v9.7 for Windows

== Part 3: Unlock your bootloader ==

Unlocking your bootloader means you'll be ablet to flash custom kernels and more roms, like CM, AOKP, PAC and all other source based roms. What you need is a pc with adb acces.

You can download the adb files:

- Windows: Will add these later

- MAC: Will add these later

WARNINGS:

This procedure will wipe the /data partition of your phone, so you will loose all your stored data, settings. SDCARD will BE WIPED!!!

- DRM keys WILL be lost during this process

Unlocking the bootloader isn't a difficult process, just follow the steps:

- Go to the official sony site for unlocking the bootloader and follow instructions there: Unlock Xperia Bootloader
[Xperia Z1 General] krabappel2548:
Part 4: Flashtool​

== Information ==

Flashtool is a tool that allows you to flash FTF files on an Xperia device, this is a powerfull toool when your device is bricked. I'll make this a thread for:

- How to install it?

- How to use Flashtool? (2nd post)

- How to recover a soft bricked device? (3rd post)

== Downloads ==

- Download flashtool for you operating system from the official FlashTool site: Download FlashTool

- Download the XZ1 device folder I created: Xperia Z1 device files Will upload this later

== Installation ==

- Run the installer or unpack the archive for Linux and Mac

- [Optional] Windows uers can go to C:/FlashTool/drivers to have a nice wizard to install fastboot & adb drivers and also drivers for other devices

- Copy the downloaded device file archive to C:/Flashtool/devices

- Open up flashtool, go to "devices => manage => import" and choose the device file you downloaded

- Installation finished!

== Some basics before starting ==

- Entering Flashmode:

* connect your powered off device while holding volume down to pc​

- Entering Fastboot (bootloader) mode:

* connect your powered off device while holding volume up to pc​

== Install an FTF file ==

FTF files are the regular Sony firmware files, installing them is quite easy and powerfull to recover a soft bricked/semi-bricked device.

- You need to put your ftf file in C:/Flashtool/firmwares before flashing it

- You can start by clicking on the "Flash" icon, it's the left icon in the icon bar

- You'll get a prompt asking you to go to "Flashmode" or "Fastboot mode", choose Flashmode

- The following screen should look like this:

- Click the Flash button to flash the FTF :)

- Wait for the prompt and connect your device in Flashmode

== Use Fastboot toolkit ==

- You can start by clicking on the "Flash" icon, it's the left icon in the icon bar

- You'll get a prompt asking you to go to "Flashmode" or "Fastboot mode", choose "Fastboot" this time

- You'll get the following screen:

The options you'll use most would be:
