Any know why after the first boot opening superSU it says that there is no SU binary?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] pikeylfc:
I'm guessing you never flashed the su busybox zip after you flashed this your supposed to do it right after then turn off phone and flash the kernel it happend to me so I had to redo it again if you don't have the zip its a few pages back
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] itzankov:
Second that! Can the update center be extracted from the original rom?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] ozgadgetguy:
1. Flash .534 FW using flashtool and root it using Vroot, 360 or whatever.

2. Install Dual recovery for locked bootloader

3. Reboot into recovery, do a factory reset

4. Install rom

5. install BusyBox/SU (not sure if this step is needed but i had to do this to get it work)

6. Shut down phone (power button and vol+, it will vibrate 3 times)

7. Flash .257 kernel & baseband (not sure if baseband is needed but i did it) using flashtool

8. Reboot your phone and enjoy your rooted .247 Z1

As a newbie to this I'm looking for a few pointers. Might be helpful to others contemplating this. So far all I've ever done is use flashtool to get .257 on my Z1.

Step 1-3 look okay.

Step 4, install the ROM at the top of this thread? This is from within recovery mode or some other method?

Step 5 - these are apps from Play store or something else?

Step 7, so this is the same as the process I originally followed to install .257? What wipe options are needed (if any)?

I assume this is going to wipe everything so I guess a full backup between steps 1 and 2 would be a good idea? Followed by a restore at the end of course.

Finally, what is the difference between the ROM in this thread and the original .257?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] gregbradley:
4) It tells you how to install this rom on the first post (Called the OP), yes its done in recovery

5) yes, but you can also flash this

RootPackage-gregbradley.zip - 1.75 MB

in recovery to do the same thing

7) Yes, but you exclude everything except kernel and baseband, otherwise it installs system and data as well which makes all the previous steps useless. Leave all other settings the same

the difference is that this rom has some tweaks done by Krabappel and is rooted

Thanks. Not having ever used dual recovery, does it reboot between the various stages or do I do multiple steps at once i.e. can I do steps 3, 4 and 5 all at once without rebooting?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] gregbradley:
yes, do them one after another
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] jagdesh:
I have quick question

Since the original factory firmware which comes from sony is always odexed ... this rooted firmware is de-odexed so after flashing this will I be able to OTA updates for sony apps like walkman, album etc..plus when a new firmware is released will my Z1 detect a new firmware and will I be able to install that like normal OTA?? or after flash this rooted firmware I will have to wait for the new firmware to be rooted and then flash them by downloading from here XDA only?

The reason I am asking this because sooner or later kingo root will work again once they find out a method to root the latest firmware ....and with kingo you always get all OTA updates for Z1 and are able to flash them normally..

---------- Post added 22nd October 2013 at 12:16 AM ---------- Previous post was 21st October 2013 at 11:45 PM ----------

Okay been reading this thread pages over and over again and now I am confused..there so many different instructions and links to different files ...

I am rooted .534 firmware and I want to flash .257 ...

OP states that i download the firmware and flash it in recovery ( CWM or TWRP)

- well after flashing do i need to reset my data?

- on other pages of this thread its mentioned that i need to flash .257 kernel and baseband separately after flash the rom... where is the link to the kernal and baseband?? is now included in the rom itself since the last upload by the OP..

- some people are complaining about loosing camera functionality and some are saying there issues with camera focus and timebust mode, is it true ??

- how good is this new .257 firmware over .534 ?? i mean do we really have some big differences or this firmware can be skipped and waited out for newer one to come?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] ozgadgetguy:
(Hopefully) final queries on this re my existing apps, data and config.

1. What "clear' options are needed (if any) when flashing the various ROMs? At steps 1, 4 and 7?

2. I ready that factory reset will not affect internal SD card or external card, is that correct? So if we don't need to clear the data partition (see Q1) at any stage in the process will it leave my apps and data intact?

3. If data *is* cleared then should I use something like Titanium to backup first and restore at the end? Or can I use the backup and restore features in Recovery?

4. Is it safe to use Kingo root? There were some concerns in the thread about it contacting Chinese IP addresses during the process.

Once I've got this all clear I'm going to try it and I intend to write up my detailed step by step instructions for other newbies.

---------- Post added at 01:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:39 PM ----------

Dunno, see my queries above. Lets see the response.

Should be in the ROM.

I've not had any issues at all with .257.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] DAddYE:
What are the few tweaks added?

Thanks
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Alexkidd85:
then I just do this step now?

== Installation ==

- Flash via CWM

- Flash SuperSu zip to be sure you are rooted

- [Optional] Clear cache and dalvik cache

so why you asked for information about the "old" method?

Maybe flashing FTF kernel and bootloader need for any other operation, and so I do not understand anything? (Very likely :D)

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] jakobxxl:
I will try, please read post 120 and 121 again.

Yes you will loose your data, because you must do a factory wipe. Kernel and Baseband you will found in a stock. 257 Firmware. Look in the Forum for one. Kernel and Baseband you have to flash with Flashtool-search in the Forum again for it.

In Flashtool you can select what you want to do - untick everything what says anything with wipe and select only Kernel and Baseband. Please read Krabappels Thread about using Flashtool.

Differents between??? I can't answer this because i don't used long time the previus Version.

OTA, i don't have now the App for Updates on the Phone but it's for me not importend to get Updates from Sony direct because allways the best Firmware you get here on XDA.

(was already using dual recovery)

Sorry for the OT.. Wasn't sure where to post comments about flashing this rom on another device :)

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] chitose_ndy:
I'll write my installation method, its the same like it has been written before, anyway, i hope this can help ;)

1. Flash ur Z1 with 534 ftf and wipe data also.

2. Root ur Z1 using Vroot or 360 root or other method.

3. Install dual recovery.

4. Reboot into CWM or TWRP, and then install this ROM (install from zip)

5. At the same time Install superuser also (install from zip)

6. Turn off ur phone (power button + volume up, it will vibrate 3 times)

7. Flash 257 kernel and baseband using Flashtool. (Dont wipe data or cache or anything, and remember, only kernel and baseband)

8. Reboot.

9. Enjoy ur rooted 257 Z1 ;)

Will not boot in to Recovery.

Yesterday i installed the ROM following the instructions. Everything went well, including the use of dual recovery.Afterwards I installed Avast mobile.

Today however the phone won´t boot into recovery at all. The TWRP and CWM installations are identified by Rom manager, but when I tap "reboot recovery" the phone makes a normal reboot instead of recovery. Pressing vol up att boot yields the same result.

Any advice on the matter would be much appreciated.

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] MohammadAG:
Update center works fine for me. I did the update then copied /system/app and /system/framework from the FTF file so I'm back to odexed (I prefer that over deodexed).

Just a suggestion, please release these with a pure stock + root variant, no debloat, no deodex, no tweaks, etc...

I'd also suggest taking out SuperSU from the zip, it doesn't work, the su binary simply returns. It made me waste another 30 minutes downgrading -> rooting -> manually installing recovery cause the linux package was never released, etc

Edit:

Oh and some tips:

If you're downgrading and staying on 534, the camera application's SQLite database was upgraded, you'll need to clear data for the camera app. You'll lose your camera settings by doing so, not that big of a deal.

If you noticed the camera is weird after the upgrade, it's because the Android Media Provider is upgrading its database and most probably refreshing it, wait it out. This is why you see Timeshift and similar modes failing to save images, they're saved, but the Media Provider is busy doing other things so it can't reflect the changes immediately.

Don't use the command line version of FlashTool, it ignores --system=no.

I did the upgrade/downgrade without clearing /data, you can probably do the same, unless the deodexed APKs expect something else.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] fer2503:
I don't understand how you can install stock FTF with root. Can you explain it? I'm interessing
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] MohammadAG:
You don't, you flash the zip from here then extract the odexed parts from the FTF, you can use FlashTool to do the extraction, and then copy the extracted files over.

Sent from my Sony Xperia Z1 (C6903) using Taptalk 4
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] POWER1FM:
If i copy the odexed files in to the zip from here and re flash it would it be work?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] MohammadAG:
I tried that and it failed on setting permissions, frustrated with time I spent, I simply flashed the zip and copied the files at runtime and cleaned dalvik cache of "system@*" files.

It should theoretically work however. Please keep in mind you need both /system/app and /system/framework files.

How did you manage to copy /system/apps and /system/framework ? I extracted the folders from the FTF, copied them in a temporary folder on the phone and then moved them in the correct folders with Root Explorer.

Unfortunatly, my phone rebooted during the process and I got stucked in a bootloop...
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] MohammadAG:
I used adb while the phone was locked, I imagine using an app that accesses resources would do that.

You can make a small script that can be run from recovery to do the copying though, but for me adb was easier.

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] danw84:
Thank you for your answer.

I tried with adb push but I got an error "device not found"... Other basic adb commands work (ls, reboot, etc.)

Any idea ?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] MohammadAG:
You're most probably doing an adb push after adb shell, which means you're trying to access another device through your device :)

Use cp /path/to/apps/* /system/app and cp /path/to/framework_files/* /system/framework.

Replace those pseudo paths with yours obviously.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] danw84:
OK so i did that :

adb shell

su

cp /app/* /system/app (i have a folder called "app" in the same directory as adb)

The shell returns "Toolbox!"

what?!
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] MohammadAG:
Oh yeah, for some reason, ToolBox is messed up on the Z1. Use "busybox cp" instead of "cp"

In the future you can download the BusyBox installer app from the store, and use smart install to fix the applets.

It's safe to replace "cp", "grep", and "find". I can't recall what else I changed.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] danw84:

Root with vroot http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2439328

Install Dual Recovery http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=45149758#post45149758

Install SuperSU via CWM http://download.chainfire.eu/351/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.65.zip

Install the "Deodexed - tweaked 257 stock rom for CWM & TWRP" via CWM

Flash a .257 FTF with Flashtool, excluding SYSTEM

Extract the folders /system/app and /system/framework content of this .257 FTF and copied them to /sdcard

In adb shell, i typed exactly this :

adb shell

su

mount -o rw,remount /system

busybox cp -f /sdcard/app/* /system/app

busybox cp -f /sdcard/framework/* /system/framework

exit

exit​

If the phone reboots during the adb process, repeat the operation.
