Hey can anybody help me? I see that there are 2 files for 7.0 version, how should I flash them? Do I need stock 4.4 rom before flashing or can I go from a 4.3 rom to this one?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Duvel999:
If you have an unlocked bootloader, then try the following:

1. Create a good backup of everything including the contents of your internal storage;

2. Flash the FULL. 757 ftf wiping everything;

3. Boot it until you can try the camera;

4. Flash the latest XZDR kernel package (2.7.121) from Nut (extract the kernel, flash it by flashtool)

5. Flash the latest SuperSU in recovery.

Now your on 4.4.2 & you can flash a Custom Rom and Kernel

If you wish you can restore userdata afterwards, it should not break the camera when you do.

I cannot install xposed it says no root, cannot mount system as rw... Why is that, also in supersu it asks for the su binary update but the update fails.

I have been looking for information regarding unlock bootloader for quite a while and they mostly says that everything will be lost. Did you manage to have your RomAur v7.1 still intact after unlocking your bootloader? Kindly share your experience as I am ready to unlock my bootloader as well.

Thanks in advance

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] lbaquerizo:
I lost my data apps and since performance control was inside the settings was lost but I found it in XDA and installed it. Was scared at first but it's a pretty straight forward and easy process. The good thing about unlocking the bootloader is that you will never loose recovery or root again. So go for it.

Only "problem" is - you'll flash 757 files over 761 and if anything has been changed that's not something you want.

For example:

You'll replace settings.apk from 761 with 757 and setting.apk has been updated and optimized...

It's not something that will make your device go crazy but if you want to have 761 firmware stick to white until someone release black apps based on 761 firmware.
