Here is the tip to root your Z1 (4.3) with the easy method. You Z1 must Unlock the Bootloader.

Please Copy All Your Zip Files To SD Card for Flash it with Recovery

Download SuperSU from Here

1.Unlock Bootloader by using Fastboot Command [If You Cannot Do It Then Stop Here]

2.Flash DoomKernel V3 (You can download from Here)

Command :

fastboot flash boot Z1-DooMKernel-v03.img

After flash the DoomKernel V3 please command :

fastboot reboot

It will go to Recovery Mode

Press Volume Up for CWM and Volume Down for TWRP

Flash all your Zip Files including SuperSu-v1.86.zip and then turn offf

3. Flash Your 14.2.A.0.290 Kernel by Using Flashtool (Kernel Only)

Where is Kernel? It's in your Firmware

After finish reboot your phone and enjoy the rooted.

Anything wrong please correct me. And I am welcome for all questions.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
Yes, seems to easy. You skipped few processes like how instal recovery to install kernel.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brianlymtb:
Just flash the Doomkernel it will come with Recovery ^_^
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
Via flashtool in flashmode?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
no, in flashtool with fastboot mode

or use fastboot and command window

fastboot flash boot "insert kernel name here"

Cheers Man, this is confirmed full root without problems on mouting/unmouting?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shteren:
did you try relocking your bootloader afterwards? can we do that and keep the root?

i did so on my xperia ZR, only problem is phone usually goes into bootloop after relocking of the bootloader, but i made a nandroid backup before the relocking, and after relocking just flashed some rootable fw installed recovery and flashed the nandroid i made before.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funky0308:
Yes and no...

You'll have read/write in recovery but only read in OS.

So basically, you'll have fully working root but you'll have to flash MODs or system APKs from recovery.

That shouldn't be problem...

This is (at the moment) best way to root your 4.3 OS ;)

Sent from my Z1
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
If you have unlocked the bootloader and flashed one of the modified stock kernels from here then you have full root, and can write to system. I have done it several times today.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chubapitdroid:
Kernel issue?

Ok, I followed this to the best of my knowledge but when I tried to flash the kernel.sin it kept giving an error that it's not a boot image... so I flashed the kernel from firmware in flashmode (by using the ftf but excluding everything besides kernel). Root apps work fine to my knowledge now, but am I supposed to be missing recovery now? I've tried installing busybox with no luck and can't get into recovery to install the zip. I'm guessing I did something wrong flashing the kernel in flashmode instead of fastboot. Can you give me advice? Thanks.

Edit: Got it with above post, thanks.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gaboh24:
I want to try this now but do i need to back-up my TA before doing this?.using unbranded ftf :)
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
You should backup TA and DRM keys but if you are on 4.3 you can't because you need root. You have to downgrade to 4.2.2, root the system, backup everything, update again and follow the steps.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gaboh24:
thanks mate! is your z1 already rooted now? :D
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
I got so amazing battery life so I'm scared to flash it again because from my experience when someting working very well you should not messing up with that. I will follow the steps to root this way only if I will had the opportunity to backup my TA and DRM keys, just in case something go wrong, without have to downgrade to 4.2.2. I do not want to downgrade at all so still undecided what do. I probably will wait and enjoy my phone this holidays and see if in few week coming up something new.

Anyway I still don't know well why I should backup my TA and DRM keys if with 4.3 everything working fine.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gaboh24:
hahahahaha! I see! me too still undecided in this..you have a point and maybe I'll just wait more days because I can smell the upcoming stable root for 4.3.. BTW ecplyptos about 20MP and 8MP in iauto, the one that we are talking yesterday, remember?. for me it's not important if our ftf is default in 8MP superior auto..do you have any idea why vodafone ftf superior auto is default in 20MP?.geez! :D
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albertobom:
My phone says no bootloader unlock allowed on service menu.

Question:

Can I still unlock it or no?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gaboh24:
how did that happen?...
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
No. There is no way.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albertobom:
I'm on Vodafone ES contract... I belive it's locked by the company by default, no?

---------- Post added at 02:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:11 AM ----------

So no custom firmware for me?

But can I root it? Cause on the previous firmware I could.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
20mpx in iAuto seem to be worse than expected, this was said from users with that FTF. I also don't care about that but I don't like restricted devices at all and even if the pictures are not good as they should be I will like anyway to have that option, switch between 20 and 8. We don't know yet why Vodafone has that but to me is just a marketing move to be interested more on they stuff.

---------- Post added at 01:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:17 AM ----------

Nobody know who locked the phones, Vodafone or Sony, and why, can be for FTF compatibility, restrictions or something else.

Anyway with Locked Bootloader you can install custom rooms, you can install stock kernels, you can root your phone if it's on Android 4.2.2 but on 4.3 the rooting for Locked BL still in developing so you have to wait. The only thing which you can't install on your phone with locked BL is custom kernels. That's all.

---------- Post added at 01:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:25 AM ----------

Is not happen, it's was just lock from factory. Happen rarely after updates but I think is not the case.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] bororo:
Hi u all,

I was wondering if someone has tried this, and by this i meen remote connecting to his desktop computer using the wizards terminal service client (or any other). Maybe a sticky guide whould be a very usefull idea. What say u?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] TheGadgetGuy:
Yes, it can be done, and it is fairly straightforward while your phone is connected to the same internal network as your PC. You simply have to enable remote connections on the machine, and enter the IP address into the program on the phone.

To connect to your PC from the public internet is also possible, but requires nore work. Basically, you would need the public IP address of your router, and enable DMZ on your router for that PC.

I cannot be more specific, because it depends on the make and model of your router.

Hope this helps.

-Robert
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] bororo:
Thanx mate.... worked like a charm from the local network. From internet though i guess it's another story because my pc is behind 2 routers, so i can't figure out which ones ip should i enter in the terminal service client, the modem/routers ip or the wireless routers ip its a bit messy :P
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] lewcamino:
Ok this is an example of how to set this up. Networking is my specialty so I am well versed.

IP addresses used in this diagram are examples only. They do not apply to you, they could, but chances are they don't.

Then you would open Terminal Services Client on the PPC connect to the internet (from outside of your network eg:EDGE) and connect to 1.1.1.1 OR Whatever your external (internet) IP ADDRESS is.

The port forwarding is more secure then using DMZ. The only port required for Remote Desktop (Terminal Services) is 3389.

This setup is much more simple for 1 Router. But you can do it with 2, or more for that matter.

Hope this helped, Later; Lew
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] bororo:
2 thumbs up for lew...

You are right man those arent my ip lucky guess eh? :P :P

Loved the smilie :D

Very helpfull diagram, i actually got the whole idea of port forwarding now :D

Will try it first thing monday morning from work

Thanx again m8.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ashwinmudigonda:
I am stuck in a very weird state with my phone. I rooted my phone after the 4.3 MK2 update and flashed CWM and a custom ROM. Everything was fine, except the front camera didn't work. So I was told to flash a kernel to fix it.

After flashing the kernel, it entered a weird state, where the screen was all scrambled, and I could not get into recovery. Trying to enter Recovery would show set warranty: recovery and then a black screen. So I downloaded the MK2 stock Tmo ROM and tried to flash it via ODIN (v3.09). While ODIN says successful, the phone is stuck at the T-Mobile 4G LTE white screen for about 5 minutes.

I tried flashing the root and TWRP/CWM recoveries, but I still can't enter recovery.

Could someone please help? I have done everything I know, and I am beginning to suspect that I've damaged the phone permanently.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] getsum:
Do a factory reset in stock recovery. It sometimes takes a while for first boot. Worked for me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ashwinmudigonda:
When I press down Vol up and power, it goes blank. I can't access any recovery, stock or custom. Actually, I take that back. I never tried to access stock recovery. I didn't think I had any options to do a reset in stock. Is there?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] getsum:
You can do a reset there.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ashwinmudigonda:
That worked. It looked like I pressed and held the volume up+power and didn't let go at the right time. Once I got into recovery, I was able to do a factory reset and wipe cache and it booted up.

Thanks.

The parts....

Nexus Wireless Charger

NEW RELEASE] RINGKE SLIM® Google Nexus 5 Case [BETTER GRIP] [SF BLACK] SUPER SLIM + SF COATED + PERFECT FIT Premium Hard Case Cover for Google Nexus 5 [AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, Unlocked, ECO Package

iOttie Easy View Universal Car Mount Holder for iPhone 5/4S and Smartphone - Retail Packaging - Black

The magenets were just not strong enough in my opinion to handle the bumps I would encounter on the road. I drive an older Jeep Wrangler, it has a very "active" ride and the bumps can be a bit interesting.

So I did some cutting to take off the top of the case so that it is only being used as a ledge to support the Nexus while mounted. Combined with the magnets this provides enough "bump resistance" for me.

I took the front plate off the iOttie and trimmed the back plate down to fit the back of the Wireless Charger. I made it kind of stealthy as you really cannot see the back plate as it hidden behind the locking ring.

It is all held together by SuperGlue and happy thoughts.

Now I just need to find a car lighter plug / cord to power the charger and combined with Bluetooh I will never need to mess with cords while in my car again!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Robpol86:
Very cool.

Are those screw holes on the bottom of the charging pad assuming you removed the sticky silicon foot? Did you get a chance to peek inside the charging pad?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ozfive:
Thanks. The screws are hidden under the sticky foot indeed. I didn't take it apart. Thought about it, but decided that I would pass. Hasn't anyone done a breakdown of one of them yet?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ricey1986:
Looks good.

How hard was it to take the plate off the front?? Are the magnets really not good enough to hold??
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ozfive:
It was a struggle to take apart the iOttie. It is a really well put together car mount.

The magnets might be good enough to hold in a regular passenger car, but not my Jeep Wrangler no. The suspension is too rough and some road bumps can be a bit... fun. Like that dime I ran over the other day. I think it was minted in 1956. The ones from that year are brutal. Surprised I did not break something!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stan210:
Lately I was playing a bit with Proxydroid. And I figured out, Proxydroid cannot reroute Whatsapp. Even when I put in a proxy like this 0.0.0.0, Whatsapp is still able to access the internet. But all other apps I’ve tried couldn’t access the internet in that case.

Thereafter, I’ve put in a proxy (0.0.0.0) direct in the wifi setting of my S3, and Whatsapp was still able to access the internet, and all other apps weren’t.

Does anyone know, how Whatsapp can bypass this settings?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxk89xx:
I have the same exact problem. Did you manage to solve it in the meantime?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stan210:
Unfortunately not until now.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoeSenki:
Whatsapp used to work over a non-http standard port to send and receive messages, not sure by now, but maybe that's why the proxy isn't working

Maybe you could edit the host file to prevent the usage but you probably have to reboot each time after you edit the file.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsteelx:
Hey there,

If I send a message that is too long (like it breaks up into 2 messages after the 1st messages character limit is exceeded), the message will not send. I am using a 3rd party, 8sms, because I don't like utilizing Hangouts as my SMS and chat.

I'm sure they will blame it on me using the 3rd party app, because thats what they did last time I had a problem (not related to this)

Anyone else having this problem? Is it Nexus 5 wide, or just Sprint?

Thank you so much.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsteelx:
It is doing the same thing when I switch it to Hangouts.

Sprint rep not very helpful. Did a bunch of phone resetting, changing the MSID, etc... to no avail.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxpower7:
I haven't tried any third-party SMS apps yet because I'm mostly happy with Hangouts, but it really annoys me that I can't even send a text with more than 160 characters. On previous phones, you could set up the messaging app to let you type to your heart's content and have the app automatically split the message up into 160-character texts. In Hangouts, it actually won't let you type more than 160 characters. You have to send the text and then start another one. There's no way that I can find to change this.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsteelx:
Yeah, that is what I meant by it not allowing me to do it on Hangouts either. It is truly annoying as ****. 8SMS is really just like the old messaging that we used to have before these updates. I am overall happy with it, just not with not being able to send a message over 160 characters, because it fails.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsteelx:
Does anyone else have a 3rd party SMS app that they like? I tried another one in the Play Store, but it had heaps of ads pop up after sending a text message... I gave that the swift delete quick!

Thanks for everyones help. This forum rocks!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsteelx:
I tried an app called Textra, just to see if it was 8SMS causing the problem.

Textra did the same thing...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsteelx:
I figured out the problem of why it wouldn't send text messages over 160 characters in 8SMS.

In the older versions of Android, on the messenger, it would automatically change the over 160 SMS to an MMS, and you could keep typing. By default, in 8SMS, this wasn't enabled. I had to enable it in settings.

Problem fixed.

Hopefully anyone who uses 8SMS will find this post. I highly recommend this app. I am not a fan of hangouts for SMS.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 2736178:
This is standard for SMS, some phones trick you into thinking there is no limit by not showing you the count or the limit and automatically combining everything or converting the SMS into another protocol (like imessage)

More info here:

http://www.wirelessdevnet.com/channels/sms/features/sms.html

Specifically from the site:

"The messages are limited by size. An SMS message can’t exceed 160 characters. (BTW this limitation is due to the limitation in the MAP protocol in GSM) In case of longer e-mails or information service messages like news, the messages need to broken down into more than one message. The need to break the messages into several smaller segments could make SMS comparatively costlier in comparison to GPRS (for the same kind of service). Also, This doesn’t look very appealing on a mobile device!

However

MMS (talked about later) would remove the limitation of small messages"

Personally I think in the year 2013/2014 and the technologies we have I'm sure it is possible to change this limitation by introducing a new SMS method or protocol/etc but that requires someone to actually spend the time and money to introduce a new standard that replaces one that has been in place for a very long time
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JiggaMan14x:
I was having the same issue. There are two options to get long text messages to work on Sprint. I'm also using 8sms (great messaging app, really recommend it over Hangouts).

The first, like someone else stated, is to select the option to convert long messages to picture messages. Make sure you select anything over 1 message long to be converted.

The second option that I discovered is to enable "split counter" in the settings. This will split the texts and send them as consecutives SMS messages without converting them to MMS messages. Hope this helps.

Hi,

I have no data on SPH-L710 after flashing cm11 nightly and it works well when I flash back to any Android 4.3 firmware.

It seems like same problem as you guys encounter.

Also I have exotic carrier its ukrainian PeopleNet so I tried APN settings following the carriers guide:

<apn name="PEOPLEnet MMS" numeric="25521" mcc="255" mnc="21" apn="#777" user="25521*min*@wap.ua21" server="172.25.10.10" password="wap" proxy="172.25.10.10" port="8080" mmsproxy="172.25.10.10" mmsport="8080" mmsprotocol="null" mmsc="mmsc:80" type="mms" />

I wonder how does this settings affect EVDO connection? I belive 4.3 uses PPP settings from NV items

Is it enough to set correct mcc\mnc as my banner says I'm still on "Sprint" ?

Is there a way do debug the problem, like PPP logs?
