[Xperia Z1 Android Development] jagdesh:
Hey Dev thanks for this update ... loving the new 2.0 version

anyways here is how I got this V2.0 installed ... this is a step by step method .. hopefully this will be useful for some ... I have written it in pretty simple and detailed way which will make it easy to follow.

This is for Locked BootLoader only!! Before proceeding please make sure to have Ihacker V2.0 file >>> Nuts Z1-lockeddualrecovery2.7.63-BETA.installer.zip >>> SuperSU Fix >>> Monx Xposed Installer for LB

Download the right kernel as per your device, make sure to put this .ftf file inside the firmware folder of flash tool.

- Kernel.ftf for C6903 (.290) http://bit.ly/C6903-290

- Kernel.ftf for C6902 (.290) http://bit.ly/C6902-290

Lastly download and keep Z1-lockeddualrecovery2.7.63-BETA.flashable.zip

Also please keep all above mentioned files in your SD card and also on your phones internal memory. Copy all the above files into your phone's internal memory after completing step 1 only!!

1. Flash .534 firmware ( this step is only for those who are either on newer or unrooted firmware). This step is recommended since it will wipe your phone clean and and you will have a clean .534 firmware to start with.

To do this you need flashtool and your device specific & country specific .534 firmware. Load it up in flash tool and do not uncheck or check anything ...leave everything default. Hold down volume button and connect your device to USB and then select flashmode and select the .534 firmware and let it flash. After completion disconnect and hold the power button until your device vibrates once and reboots. Let it boot up...

2. Use Kingo root or something similar to root your device.. (kingo is what I use to root and its works best for me on .534 firmware). Also make sure to check USB debugging mode before running Kingo app.

3. Once rooted and you have a working SuperSU app, flash dual recovery. I suggest you use Nut's dual recovery installer for windows version which is linked above. Unzip it and install through windows, connect your phone through USB and make sure to keep it in unlock position. Run the file from windows and follow the instructions. After installation you will boot into CWM Philz touch Recovery.

4. Now if you already have the above stated files into your phone memory then proceed otherwise transfer all the file into your phone memory now. This is being done because we will use CWM recovery to flash all files and as of now CWM beta version 2.7.63 does not identify external SD cards.

5. First select ihackers 2.0, flash it and in the end when it says reboot system, make sure to uncheck it and then click finish.

6. you will come back to CWM recovery, next flash SuperSU Fix.zip file

7. After that flash Dual recovery 2.7.63 Beta.zip which you downloaded earlier through CWM

8. Now select power off option under recovery, do not select reboot option

9. Once device is powered off, open flash tool and select flash mode, then select to Install the appropriate kernel .ftf file for your device. Do not change any option, just select and install.

10. once all done disconnect your phone and restart it .. let it finish its first boot. after first boot it might restart again, let it finish its second boot.

11. once all booted up, make sure to restart again and then goto CWM recovery again flash Monx Xposed module .zip file. Once done wipe cache and dalvik too and reboot.

12. now once booted up again your phone will be working with correct super user permissions and xposed modules working ...To enable exposed modules goto the settings and then to ihackers and select xposed famework or settings ... make sure to update your modules first, If there is an update for any module it will tell you so first download and update your modules.

13. after installing Monx mod your modules will be activated and which are not please goto modules and check them.

14. Keep in mind some modules do not work but some do do try them and see which works for you.

These steps are the exact way which I followed and now I am a happy ihacker V2.0 user....

Hope this will help some users come over there difficulties on flashing this amazing rom. ALL The Best :good:
