Judging from the word we got from the source here (Spectre51) I'd say by end of month. We'll see, I'm sure he'll keep us posted
[Xperia Z1 General] Unibrow:
I bought one from them, as it was reported over at Android Police, and its a glorious device. I'm surprised them have some still in stock.
[Xperia Z1 General] raventothepowerofpi:
Yeah, idk how they do it, maybe they convinced Sony to continue production of them lol
[Xperia Z1 General] Unibrow:
Probably got the play stores stock
[Xperia Z1 General] raventothepowerofpi:
Yeah lol, they could of got it from Google/Sony for dirt cheap and it helping sell it off for them.
[Xperia Z1 General] Unibrow:
They also have the other Google lay edition devices that were discontinued from the play store
[Xperia Z1 General] raventothepowerofpi:
Yeah, but I think I will wait for the 64bit Android era to get a new phone lol
[Xperia Z1 General] aago1254:
im starting to think that the certifications dont really matter. i am starting to look for a new phone. even though this is a new phone that is totally unusable, (had t-mobile less than a month on like the 4th replacement) i have had a few replacements and this phone still acts worse than windows me on crack. random reboots and crashes and force closes and over heats, cant handle processes correctly, so frustrating and so deserving to hold down some papers on my desk because that is the only practical use for this device. ( tmobile agents ask what i am using im like mostly stock apps and google apps and stock apps that been updated) my freaking cheap low end boost-mobile phone worked better than this garbage and it was way cheaper. ) and i could install more apps but why bother i will have to send it out again anyway.

after this phone is payed off i am leaving t mobile over this and during this time of paying off i will be buying att or Verizon lte phones to use instead of this garbage that i was sold. i figure one i wont be supporting tmobile and also getting ready to move all my lines away to a new service that actually cares about the products they sell.
[Xperia Z1 General] raventothepowerofpi:
I recommend the THL 5000 :)
[Xperia Z1 General] LaosPerson:
They do care, they just don't care about us :P
[Xperia Z1 General] cbv1062:
I feel your pain . I blame Sony not T Mobile I've had Verizon AT&T and tmobile and I've been with t-mobile the longest. I am so fed up the Z1s I went ahead and got the HTC One m8. Night and day I love this phone. I miss the camera on the Sony and it being waterproof other than that I could care less. If you want the M8 to look like stock Android just download the Google now launcher, or purchase it from the Google Play Store and get the Google Play edition. Then it will be truly stock Android.
[Xperia Z1 General] lsmaverick31:
Man, I feel like I'm the only person left on Earth who still loves his Z1s.
[Xperia Z1 General] mchlbenner:
I still like this phone but we're just tried of waiting for a update I blame both tmoble and Sony for being very slow,.
[Xperia Z1 General] Kanes_Inferno:
Nah, you're not alone. I still love mine.
[Xperia Z1 General] Elysian893:
I like mine quite a bit, though I am ready for TMobile to get a good Nokia phone, really want one of their cameras.
[Xperia Z1 General] grumpySasquatch:
If you guys are here on Xda, I'm assuming most of you did research before you bought the phone. You should all know Sony is slow to update, if you got a phone to always have the latest software you shouldve got the nexus 5, or a gs4. Instead of making yourselves rage over an update why not just forget about it? Then when it comes be happy. Personally I don't mind as I love this phone, I did a straight trade for a gs4 on Craigs coming from 4.4.2 were not missing much IMHO. Honestly I laugh when I read these posts, a lot of you guys remind me of whiney little kids that need to get put in a corner. If you want 4.4 that bad get a new phone or figure out how to hack it. Until then I'm gonna keep patiently checking this thread for Updates.
[Xperia Z1 General] raventothepowerofpi:
Truth is, they should of learned to care a little, because lack of looses business.
[Xperia Z1 General] lsmaverick31:
Yea. Carrier exclusive + sony = slow updates. I expected it. This was never a "next big thing" samsung or apple device. If anyone thought it was, they were disillusioned. It's a beautiful, solid phone from what I consider a premium company.
[Xperia Z1 General] raventothepowerofpi:
If the Nexus 5 was waterproof or even water resistant and had at least a 2800mah battery people would be all in for it, but I am stuck with the Nexus 5's 2300mah battery. lol but at least I'll get updates until about the middle of next year.
[Xperia Z1 General] lsmaverick31:
It's unfortunately part of the comprises that must be made when buying a new phone.
[Xperia Z1 General] crixley:
The regular z1 is getting timely updates.

That is why I don't understand the argument people have been throwing around about bug testing being the reason for the delay. Aside from being just a total guess and conjecture from members on here, why doesn't this bug testing effect other companies?
[Xperia Z1 General] lsmaverick31:
The regular Z1 is not a carrier exclusive.
[Xperia Z1 General] crixley:
Nonetheless, each carrier would need to run its own testing..

I'm sure they don't band together
[Xperia Z1 General] lsmaverick31:
That's true. Idk what is tmobiles reasoning. It's likely that the phone didn't sell too well so there's no pressure to appease the masses (or lack thereof). That's why carrier exclusives are a problem. The Z1 sold incredibly well. The Z1s? Not so much.
[Xperia Z1 General] mchlbenner:
Really if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything.

You are the one that needs to be put. In the corner!
[Xperia Z1 General] crixley:
Did it sell incredibly well?

I was under the impression Sony wasn't doing so well
[Xperia Z1 General] lsmaverick31:
I thought they were pretty popular outside of the US. I guess I can't really comment since all I know is that sony's market share in the US is virtually nonexistent.
[Xperia Z1 General] grumpySasquatch:
That's the nicest thing.anyone could've said on this thread. Instead of grown men whining, man up. It'll all be Ok, I promise.
[Xperia Z1 General] LaosPerson:
sheez, the only reason i got this phone because one, it is waterrproof, secondly it has a 32gb internal storage so i don't need an external sd card just yet and don't even try saying anything about external storage becasue it's useless when it comes down to installing apps from the play store, only for music and picture media. And besides it's not bad to be impatient as seeing how my 100 dollar acer tablet just got an update for kitkat. Third, I was hoping we would be able to flash stock ftfs but we can't. Also for nexus, the battery is so small it would have to be charged during the day, and as for galaxy s4, it was getting old and was wayyyy to expensive on tmobile, then the lg g2, it had 16gb internal storage but no external storage so it makes matters even worse, notice how i said earlier external storage doesn't matter, but now it will because now i can't save things into an external sd card just so i can get the maximum space out of the internal storage, the final conclusion of this is, i got this phone becasue it was the best value of phones from tmobile, but just lacks updates asap, and sony is getting better at updates so i wouldn't say it is sony, it's tmobile holding these things back
[Xperia Z1 General] epsix:
lol.......

Sent from my HTC One_M8
[Xperia Z1 General] Kanes_Inferno:
Yeah, I got this phone for the waterproofing, the storage space, SD card support (have 16GB card in it), and the Sony skin. I love their UI. I'm proud to have a phone with the Sony name.
[Xperia Z1 General] LaosPerson:
Right? Glad im not the only lol
[Xperia Z1 General] MacGuy2006:
So, is there any way to update the Z1s if T-Mobile abandons it, which kind of seems like they have done?

I like the phone overall and the built quality is good, but it has issues, like BT disconnects in both of my cars (only phone that has ever done it regularly), plus the camera over-processes waaay too much in low light.
[Xperia Z1 General] raventothepowerofpi:
As long as you canunlock the boot loader, root it, and flash another kernel and ROM then why not?
[Xperia Z1 General] mchlbenner:
First thing z1s has non unlockable bootloader so don't post unless you know what you're talking about.

So... who is going to be the first to find out if you lose root when upgrading?
[Xperia Z1 General] ayuready1989:
how we get that ftf?
[Xperia Z1 General] themacman1000:
Well, it does say computer required. So its possible someone could get the ftf out of it? I may not know what I'm talking about either, I came from HTC where everything was different root and ROM wise.
[Xperia Z1 General] ayuready1989:
i believe i found it FILE_281319506 is the name of the file that was downloaded for update and file size is 962,904kb ill try to rename it and break it down..

EDIT, I'm stupid lol must decrypt first, hopefully someone uploads a ftf before i finish this
[Xperia Z1 General] mchlbenner:
Upload it to a filehoust or something.
[Xperia Z1 General] raventothepowerofpi:
I know, can't wait to see it :)
[Xperia Z1 General] ayuready1989:
making a ftf now . ill upload that when finished.. i ended up with a 1.7gb ftf -_- .. should i upload that? and how would i flash without losing root?... I'm assuming this was patched so towel root won't work? , i hope I'm not the only one that'll be messing with this, i want my 120fps recording and 4k xD
[Xperia Z1 General] mchlbenner:
Get it uploaded and I will flash it.
[Xperia Z1 General] mariussilverwolf:
That would be me. Confirmed that upgrading via PC Companion updates to 4.4.4 but loses root in the process.

{edit} - I can also confirm that towelroot works to apply root, however, it will hang on "cleaning up" during the first run. CTRL-C to kill the batch job and rerun to get Success.
[Xperia Z1 General] ayuready1989:
can confirm that we still have recovery after flashing kernel and baseband. going to try to put together a flashable zip with root included

I honestly did it from stock but i haven't used those 2 scripts ric is disable when you root with zxz0O0 tool.
[Xperia Z1 General] themacman1000:
Sadly I'm going to be more careful than you guys. Jcase tested his exploit on my phone before releasing it to the public, and as far as I know, my phone was rooted using a different method than everyone else's. Ric has always been disabled for me. I've never had to use any scripts. I guess I'll do a full reset, anyone have a link on how to do that?
[Xperia Z1 General] Tactic13:
Just use pc companion and do a repair also ive never used scripts either me and ayuready1989 had patched the ric and deodex the 4.3 rom
[Xperia Z1 General] mariussilverwolf:
Disable all 4.3 specific XPosed Modules before applying perma-root and rebooting. I had to fight a SystemUI FCs at first boot for several reboots until I cleared them all.
[Xperia Z1 General] Kanes_Inferno:
Anyone have impressions yet?
[Xperia Z1 General] troby86:
Battery life seems really good so far, I've been playing with it all morning. The system seems a lot snappier than 4.3. There are a few graphical changes, but not much. Definitely better than 4.3 for sure.
[Xperia Z1 General] dsp4774:
Anyone else have a TON of problems with just connecting their devices to a PC with the companion software? I have got it to see my device once, and then it complained that it couldn't access the server to get the update. What a frustrating nightmare...

For those of you who rooted the Xperia Z1s, with 4.3. Is there root yet for z1s kitkat?

Can I get a virtual show of hands from those that have root on 4.4? And how you achieved it?
[Xperia Z1 General] chaos2myst:
i used it this morning at work and it worked fine . had to reboot the phone a couple of times till it stuck is all
[Xperia Z1 General] TrunkleBob:
I upgraded to 4.4.4, and then used the one you referenced, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2839990

I am now rooted. As someone pointed out, the script will hang on the "cleaning up" phase. Cancel the batch, and re-run, and it finishes successfully.

Everything that requires root appears to be working, save for one Xposed module. The others, and Titanium Backup among other things are all happy as a clam.
[Xperia Z1 General] mchlbenner:
Tell me how you did it then.

Thanks
[Xperia Z1 General] dsp4774:
I never got the companion app to work.

The SUS, however, worked fine. I was able to get that from here:

Update Service Setup

The rest was cake. Hopefully this helps anyone else having trouble!
[Xperia Z1 General] chaos2myst:
Please bear with me because I don't normally write procedures.

Once you have upgraded to 4.4.4 and downloaded and extracted filed to a temporary directory.

1.) Plug your phone in and make sure it is connected with ADB Devices

2.) Run install.bat from the easy root tool, when it stops at clean up cancel the batch file with Control C

3.) Reboot Phone and run install.bat once again.

4.) Install SuperSU and reboot

5.) recovery is optional but you can install that one using option #1

I was surprised that the update took event though I was rooted before.
[Xperia Z1 General] mchlbenner:
This what happens when I try easy root
[Xperia Z1 General] Kanes_Inferno:
Supposed to have another MP option in manual mode, have a few more camera tweaks, and less noise in the pictures..can you confirm?
[Xperia Z1 General] epsix:
I'm rooted with stock recovery,can I still upgrade from PC?

[IDEs, Libraries, & Programming Tools] S0AndS0:
You can likely use the scripts I've writen with a little modification

https://github.com/S0AndS0/Debian-Kit-Mods

Curently the scripts for java are set up for debian ARM bassed distros but if you mod the download address for your system's cpu it should work ok. There's also links to where I found the info required to install java's JDK to linux in the scripts or readme.

Does your system use the apt-get and sudo commands?

OK well if it is something like permission denied when trying to extract the source file then a "chmod" command might help. I'll see about finding some guides to the command line and post them in this post..

[UBUNTU][DEBIAN]Common Commands used in Linux

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2387695

Here is a guide for java's 64bit jdk and it's for your distro

http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/1372

Note for your system you'll need to be sure of the processor version; currently there is 32bit 64bit and arm(hf/sf); if installing on a PC then 32 or 64 and if installing on android arm hf or sf. The commands in the guide you will have to expand (hit the "tab" key to have bash auto complete along the way) but it looks like it should work.

Oh and try "sudo" or "login root" to elevate your user permissions to avoid permission denied errors ;)

If you're new to Linux then perhaps you're new to the command line? If so I'm willing to help as I've been new myself; few two years ago I dived in deep and now have scripts that save me time to show for it.

Most command line programs such as; tar, make, man, wget, mkdir, chmod, chown, and more have help documents and manuals for how to use and these docs can be read from the command line with the following:

man <some-program>
<some-program> --help

Just replace the "<some-program>" part with tar or whatever program you want to know more about.

If you're planning on app building I can suggest the Android app "AIDE" it's free for small progects and the pro version has some nice guided tutorials too. And if building on PC; I've seen some really nice stuff from the "jMonkey" team; jMonkey can also be run on Android through duel-booting Linux but I've yet to get Android SDK on ARM Linux so jMonkey on Android is only capable of editing you basic Java projects.
