Disclamer: I take absolutely NO credit for this, I was searching through the forums and found a posting by ragingMonkey that worked for rooting the 10.3.1.E.0.191 build number for the Sony Xperia Z (C6606).

Well, here it is:

you should have your phone in developer mode and have usb debugging on

- i used a flash tool from d-h.st/Kb8

- switched my kernel to d-h.st/1Vz

- rooted with download.cnet.com/Kingo-Android-Root/3000-2094_4-75996768.html

1. you do this by opening flash tool. letting it install. then selecting you device and flashmode drivers.

2. then connect your phone to computer via usb

3. then click the lighting bolt in the top right in the menu bar.

4. a window will pop up. press the flashmode radio button then ok

5. another window will pop up.

6. on the right side of the window it will ask if you wanna wipe types of info like cache, data, applogs. if you want you can click those if not leave them blank.

7. then at the top you will see a browse button to browse files (i think its a ... button)

8. use it to find the kernel

9. after you do that click the flash button and follow the instructions.

10. the instructions are "1 unplug the phone. 2 turn off phone. 3 enter flash mode by pressing and holding the down volume button (while off). 4 connect device (still off)"

11. once you plug the phone back in the flash tool will exit the window you were in and be doing its process in the terminal like window in the original window.

12. after you do that. unplug the device and reboot it. then exit flashtool (important) and then

use the kingo android root.

13. it should do some installing then ask you to connect device

then just follow those instructions in which i dont have up so i cant tell you :P hope i helped

NOTE: It will say "Root Failed", although it actually did NOT fail and was successful!

BIG thanks to ragingMonkey!

Bye!
[Xperia Z Android Development] deerhurst:
There is a much easier way, no different kernals needed. I have also heard alot of negative about kingo root.

Use the tools mentioned here.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2547714

Download both the tools. Make sure you have USB debugging is on and install from unknown sources is on. One of the folders downloaded will have ABD files while the other will not. Copy the ADB files to the one that does not. Run the ADB.exe then run the tool, the install batch file.

I did this with a C6606 on 10.3.1.E.0.191.
[Xperia Z Android Development] kartadmin:
Tried going through your suggestion, it didnt help help on my Tmobile C6606. Attached is a screenshot. any suggestions??

Here's my info though:

Thank you.

Thank u very much all.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gripfly:
Try this, I think this should work:

1. Choose a customization number from a region which already have the newest Android version.

--> Check this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2315914

2. Change your customization number in build.prop

--> Take here a look how to change: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2311211

3. Now after reboot connect your phone with PC Companion (PCC) and try to update. If it doesn't work you can try it also with Sony Update Service(SUS) or EMMA(official SONY flashtool).

This subforum doesn't really look like the right place for this question, but I'm trying to follow forum rules.

I'm rooted.

Using esfile explorer, I downloaded the awesome bootanimation.zip file located here.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2334927

I renamed the old boot animation zip file (as not that) and pasted the new one into system/media as instructed by video.

I check the permissions of both files and they are the same.

Can't get the new animation to run. Just blank. I reversed the process and the old one ran fine again.

I have two questions.

1. Why would this not work for me?

2. With one big .zip file, how do I know which animation I'm getting? How do I control which boot animation runs?
[Moto X Q&A] superdork21:
You should try flashing the boot image with fastboot.

fastboot flash boot boot.img
[Moto X Q&A] tcrews:
No no....the bootanimation is not the boot.img, absolutely do not try flashing a bootanimation.zip as a boot.img

Woops my mistake! I just recently flashed a boot image to get rid of that nasty bootloader unlock screen. Got confused between the two. My apologies
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] shady79:
OK i have my 8125 bout a week now and so far ive updated the rom to summiter's custom cingular rom, and all is well with that. Last nite i installed resco file explorer and memmaid. i also did the omapclock tweak and all is well there too, but i noticed that now my clock on the today screen is in military time. (24hrs instead of 12hrs) Can someone tell me how to fix this so it tells regular time again...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] summiter:
One of the customization cab files should have set it to display 12 hour time, but something must have changed it.

You can set it to your desired format in the "Regional Settings" section of the system settings.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] shady79:
Thanks

Thanks Summiter,

Damn is there anything you dont know? Also thanks for the quick response. Ive been looking all day to try to fix the damn clock. Regional settings didnt even come to mind
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] summiter:
Re: Thanks

I know just enough to be dangerous at times. ;-)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] kahibbi:
I know this post is 6 months behind the reply from summiter, but I've just encountered the same change to my clock on my 8125 to military time. Over this past couple of weeks (10/16/06), I upgraded to ROM version 2.26.10.2 WWE. Everything was fine for a while, then all of a sudden this afternoon, 12-hour time changed over to 24-hour (military) time. My clock and calendar are now in military time and I just don't think that way and need it back.

I haven't added any software recently, so I have no earthly idea what caused this to change. I went to Regional Settings and have the settings on "H:mm:ss", which I assumed was the 12-hour setting. But te sample shows military time for both "H:mm:ss" and "HH.mm.ss".

Please help as I liked this ROM version until this occurred. I'd rather not have to go to another ROM just yet.

Thanks,

Keith
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Dr Puttingham:
You're close. Scroll up and make it h.mm.ss (or hh.mm.ss if you like 2 digit time, for instance 09:21)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Vilem:
The difference here is the H:

H is military time 24 Hours, H = 1 digit, HH = 2 digits

h is normal time, , h = 1 digit, hh = 2 digits
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] ntegra:
In case you are still on Military time, I believe the answer is that you want the formats with "tt" on the end. That should add "AM" & "PM".
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] mgmchan:
But when I change the Regional Setting to Hong Kong (my home region), the tt format doesn't show up any more! It shows up if Regional is USA. Is there a brute force approach to add it back in?

Thanks.

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidNine:
Hello all. I have a I9195T (Telstra, Australia - Serranoltexx), which I took the plunge and rooted (thank you arco68!) and then installed CM10.2 direct from the CM wiki page. This is working great, but I am bit confused as to how the modem works. I appear to have retained my baseband (phew!), but wonder how this translates to using other custom ROM's from XDA etc.

If they are made for a different baseband (but for I9195) is it possible to backup the MODEM firmware, flash another ROM and then flash the MODEM over again to retain the baseband? If this is possible where do I find the MODEM firmware to back it up? I've had a search but I think I am missing the really low level understanding of how the MODEM itself fits into the ROM picture.

Any help appreciated, even if its just a search term suggestion or link.

edit: I should put my baseband is I9195TDVUAMH1, using 1800mhz LTE.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s0ftcorn:
As far as i know our devices does not have any limitations concerning flashing ROMs and having an "incorrect" Modem.

I recommend you to check the SuperSU setting as you problem does sound like root access is not available to the app.

Try installing terminal emulator and type "su" in the terminal and press enter if you get "root@android: / # " then the apps are getting the access.

then type "reboot" and if your phone reboots then the apps can interact with root file.Give it a try and post the result.
