What is the error message? And have you tried with adb?

And can you check if your system flashable zip has the same hash as in the first post?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] KL643:
With Root Explorer, first mesage is :The current file sytem is r only. Do you want to remount as r-write and continue the operation, / yes / su already exists. Do you want to overwrite it? / yes / Copy failed su to /system/xbin

Haven't tried with adb, how please?

How to check the hash?

thanks

Copy the new su binary to /tmp then do

adb shell

su

chown root:root /tmp/su

chmod 755 /tmp/su

mount -o remount,rw -t ext4 /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system /system

cp /system/xbin/su /system/xbin/su.old

mv /tmp/su /system/xbin/su

Have you tried to replace su binary as I posted above and post #11 ?

Flash latest dualrecovery flashable zip in TWRP (since Philz recovery doesn't work properly in 2.7.99) ;)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] diceroller:
Yeah, I will report it probably in next couple of days. Cheers
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Proda:
I confirm this. Installed GravityBox yesterday mainly because of Quicksettings options, but that doesn't work at all.

Also I tried XperiaFlipSettings, but that doesn't activate GravityBox settings either (even if it says is should).

I was trying to find Xposed module for Louder notifications and Music but this is not for this topic.

BTW, zillion thanks [MENTION=3975929]zxz0O0[/MENTION] for this thread and the one for Rooting and Unlocking bootloader.

Coming from Nexus 4, this is a freaking pain in the ass to do all these things.

But, I had good practice with my dad's old Xperia Ray, so I know it should be hard process.

Notifications are choppy though in KK now.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] KL643:
I noticed the same problem with GravityBox but after an update of GB to 3.0.1 the problems are gone, no more fc when using the volume button.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] diceroller:
Hi. I can confirm that everything went smoothly and I came from unrooted JB to rooted KK.

Thanks a lot guys.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] JmJ17:
When did you do the full wipe?

Before flashing z1c-44-uk.system.flashable.zip?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Didgesteve:
Err, before and after as well as a dalvik/cache wipe. Overkill I know, but it worked for me.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] AnDroiD178:
Hey guys, finally got my lime Xperia compact! Love it so far, and glad that so many of you are getting nice pictures from the camera under right conditions, those Bokeh effect looks good :)

I can also double/triple confirm that I rooted, albeit not so smoothly from un-rooted JB to rooted KK. It's great to see the SuperSU app sitting in the apps drawer and allowing me more control, but with bootloader locked still.

I post this with the intention to make this rooting process less frustrating for 'noobs' who wish to try rooting by following zxz0O0's updated instructions, should you encounter similar situations....after many rebooting, searching and fist clenching on my part.

I didn't enable USB debugging and allow unknown sources under ' Security' right at the beginning, and got stuck with Flashtool. Hence please do it before flashing Docomo ROM and before that 'C6903_14.1.G.534_ianford10_UK Unbranded_modified.ftf'.

As some mentioned, after flashing Docomo ftf, Flashtool/pc doesn't recognize the phone anymore as the identity has changed? What I did was to boot up the phone and let my pc detect it, power down phone and connect in flash mode again to continue flashing.

And for some reason, when using Flashtool (latest version) it just shows error when I click on the lightning flash icon AFTER connecting phone in flashmode. I read somewhere that I am supposed to click flash first and let the program 'prepare the files for flashing'.. only when it prompts me to connect, then I connect phone in flash mode. Also I find it weird, but seems like restarting the Flashtool each time I flash something works for me, instead of leaving the program open all the time? (Encountered errors, only resolved by restarting Win7 PC and Flashtool)

Finally I installed dual recovery by [NUT] via PC option 3. The latest 101 recovery works for PhilzTouch and things went smoothly from here on. I hit format/system, returned to previous menu and hit 'Factory reset' and then 'Clear phone for new ROM' before flashing those 3 zip files in stated order. Is this the same as Wiping all before flashing? Then I rebooted and the blue Xperia KK screen popped up. :)

Hope this little contribution helps and enjoy your gadget guys! :D
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] zxz0O0:
You don't need to enable usb debugging for flashmode, i.e. you don't need to enable it before flashing docomo ROM. USB debugging needs to be enabled for dualrecovery installer.

Thanks, I will add this to the guide.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] alex_hk90:
Thanks for posting. I followed this guide on my phone (rooted 4.3 with locked bootloader) and it appears to have worked perfectly - I'm now on rooted 4.4.2 with locked bootloader. :)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] AnDroiD178:
Oh, I see. I would have thought so too. But still I could only get this Flashtool to work by enabling the settings on the phone. Thanks anyway zxz0O0 for your advice and guide!
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] daddycruel:
Is it possible to do it for D5503_14.3.A.0.757 which I got on my phone?

[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Didgesteve:
Looking forward to an updated guide and trying out the new .757 (but that's not an eta request :rolleyes:). Does it need a new rooted kernel?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] zxz0O0:
Kernel is for people with unlocked bootloader. If you have unlocked bootloader you can just flash .757 ftf and then flash Doomlord's kernel (if it's available).

I am uploading soon prepared files of .757 for people with locked bootloader ;)

Edit: If you meant dualrecovery; No, I don't think so.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] zxz0O0:
German firmware (14.3.A.0.757 Generic DE 1279-6978) is up thanks to louis0815. Just follow the guide.

Keep in mind that Philz touch recovery may be broken in the latest dualrecovery, you might have to use TWRP (Volume DOWN). :good:
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] KL643:
So you mean, start with TWRP from the beginning I guess...cause Philz IS BROKEN, don't use it. (just tried and I've to start all over again from the beginning..sight)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Didgesteve:
Can I use the German firmware in the UK?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] zxz0O0:
Well depends which dualrecovery you use. Which dualrecovery did you have installed? Was there any error?

Yes you can. The only thing you might notice that changes is the 4G / LTE icon I think.

For everyone: Before executing step 5, try flashing a zip file (e.g. SupeSU) to confirm that you can flash zip files in your recovery!
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] KL643:
I've use Philz to whipe and after that I wanted to install zip files (which didn't work)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] charlatan01:
I am not sure that this will help you, but I've found this CWM to work quite well. I used it to flash my phone. I've not tested recovery from backup yet.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] KL643:
This time I started from scratch again and with the latest update, my wifi doesn't work (doesn't switch on). Can't test anymore because I have to go. Will come back tonight to see if I can get it fixed.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] munch77:
Seems to have worked ok for me, wifi on and working, just gonna check everything else. Btw i used philz 2.7.101 (although .101doesnt seem to be available now? I updated to .116 and philz doesnt work again, Twrp does tho)

Oh and yes changes 4G icon to LTE
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Ooinaru:
Is there any way to use the nordic 757 firmware to get root access? I kinda prefer my 4G icon over LTE :P
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Marsters:
edithey there...

i updated my phone just like you said step-by-step.

i came from root 4.4 .

now i have SuperSU in my app list, but dont have root oO because the apps cant do a thing. but root checker says its rooted, so what have i done wrong?

edit: i mean i get the dialog that asking me for granting SuperSU rights, but even if i accept it, the apps like root deleter or titanium backup wont do anything..
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] munch77:
Try Re-installing the apps ;)

When i upgraded to kk .681 i had to re-install titanium?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Marsters:
i already did :(

i cant uninstall any of system apps...not with root explorer neither with titanium :/
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] zxz0O0:
Which dualrecovery version did you use? Can you mount /system rw with adb?

Yes, you can try. If you don't know how to make a flashable zip you can give me the link to the firmware and I might create it.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Ooinaru:

Hi guys I'm having a problem.

I installed and rooted the 757 and now I'm not able to make SDFix (or Folder Mount) work. I tried to modify the file "platform.xml" manually but it cannot be done.

I'm the only one? Is there any solution?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] KL643:
O.k. I'm back and started everything from scratch again. Now I'm back on rooted Kitkat 681 and all is well. Now let's see if I can get it updated to version 757.

Edit : Mehh....it worked :) (If you just read well and flash the right things, which I didn't the first time). Now up and running, thanks!

Edit 2 : Don't get write permissions for external sd card...to late to check what's going on..new day tomorror

Edit 3 : Not sure I was right about the write permission.... the problem is installing Xposed installer.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Marsters:
Could it be that the root doesn't work probably? I mean i have similar issues...after flashing to 757...
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] rubbebandman:
i cant modify the platform.xml file to unlock external sdcard writing but i did check root using root check and it said that i have root access. what could be the problem with this?:rolleyes:

i checked if /system could be mounted as r/w, but it can't
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] dragnan:
It is disabled for KitKat. Install XPosed and HandleExternalStorage module.Then it works.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] KL643:
Well, it looks like root does work but I can't install Xposed installer framework

Edit: Root doesn't work 100% Titanium gets root but after uninstalling some apps, they are still there.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Sordep:
Same issue here, I guess sony changed security check on the kernel level in this verison, as I can mount system after flash only the kernal back to the .681.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] JmJ17:
SDFix doesn't work too. It is refused to modify permisions.xml

Something has changed in this version.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Tonio78r:
We can't mount system RW but we can flash zip :)

In Xposed click on installation mode then in installation category click again on installation mode and choose Recovery (flash zip automatically)

Go back and click install/update then ok you're device will reboot into recovery and flash the zip (automatic). Wait until its finished and reboot into system and thats it you can use Xposed ;)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] KL643:

Have you tried the latest version 2.7.117? And could you notify [NUT] about the r/w issue? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2647480&page=12

So to summarize, after flashing 0.757 and latest dualrecovery you can't mount /system r/w in android but you can do it in recovery (TWRP), i.e. flashing zips. Correct?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] KL643:
I've used 2.7.99 What's the easiest way to test again with 2.7.117? Start from post 6?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] zxz0O0:
Just go to recovery and flash the latest dualrecovery zip file. No additional steps required. Please report back to [NUT] in his thread if Philz recovery (Volume UP) is working in 2.7.117.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] KL643:
Well started from post 6 again and flashed the 2.7.117 and it looks like the problem is still there. Indeed, volume up is working now and I could flash zip file.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Tonio78r:
Philz recovery is working fine in latest dualrecovery :) (2.7.117 version)

i'll report in the thread!

Thats correct, 2.7.117 dualrecovery can mount system (tested with Philz recovery) and flash zip correctly but android can't mount it as rw only ro...
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] tsc.smith:
Hi guys, can confirm that 2.7.117 is working again.

Flashed it with twrp (volume down) and was able to flash in Philz supersu 1.93 version.

It succeeded!

But if i try this with supersu 1.94 I get errors. Bad file and so on . :(

It is possible that supersu 1.94 is broken?

The filesize is also a litte bit smaller then the supersu 1.93...

And something I also can report is that I'am not every time able to copy files on my z1c via windows 8.1 explorer... sometimes windows says it's not able to copy things on the z1c. Not on the internal and sdcard storage ??!?

In MSC mode it is working with the sdcard... Maybe I'am the only one who got this problems...:confused:
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] SonyXperiaFan:

i mean what does is step supposed to do?

If you're reinstalling the rom then you previously already flashed this file so it's not necessary to do it, still I recommend it.

If you don't have this app, then it means that you did not successfully flash dualrecovery ;)

Maybe you forgot to flash it, maybe there was an error, maybe you flashed in the wrong order.

You can try installing dualrecovery with 2.7.119 installer and choose option 1 (Installation on rooted SuperSU).

I have 14.3.A.0.681 rooted,

faced problems with Philz, in the process of updating to the latest .757fw

so as per instruction, changed kernel to D5503_14.2.A.1.114_Generic UK.ftf, then entered TWRP.

Basically I was doing this

1. Flash 4.3 Kernel from D5503_14.2.A.1.114_Generic UK.ftf (Uncheck All in Wipe, Check All in Exclude except Kernel)

2. Boot to TWRP (Vol Down while booting phone)

3. Mount /system with rw flag:

Can someone teach me how to do the #3 step?

I entered TWRP, but not sure how to navigate there or what to do:confused::confused:

But when I go into TWRP, I see a many tabs, one of them is mount. But once I go in there, I do not know what to do further or understand what ''Mount /system with rw flag'' means. ALso what is the code underneath step #3?
