---

In future you will only have to update some files showed in 1) and 2)! All other files are already on internal/external storage!

- pick 'install ZIP from external SD-card' again

Acc. to iHACKERS SuperSu-Fix is not needed again! If you will get SuperSu-problems, you can flash it at the running Z1 again, no problem!

NOTE:

Should you now will get SuperSU- and/or XPOSED-problems, you do have two options:

1st (the best one to get an most clean Z1): start this guide once again and flash both as shown

2nd (working, too, but seems not the cleanest one): install/flash both afterwards -> NOW!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Installguide for iHackers 4.x (Custom Rom) for UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER:

PLEASE MAKE SURE TO RUN AN TA-BACKUP BEFORE STARTING TO FOLLOW GUIDE!

MUST HAVE:

- Z1 should already been unlocked and should have customer-recovery installed (dual-recovery is not needed but could be used, too)

- files (links above) should already been put onto device

AGAIN: PLEASE MAKE SURE TO RUN AN TA-BACKUP BEFORE STARTING TO FOLLOW GUIDE!

If Bootloader is still locked, you first do have to unlock (guides around in the wild)!

You only do need one recovery (I would prefer to use dual-recovery -> download-link above)! SupuerSU/Root etc. are not needed!

-> As an alternativ, you could flash the 'Advanced Stock Kernel' from iHackers via fastboot to get recovery! So you could skip to manually install SuperSU as shown above!

HowTo:

1. copy iHackers 4.x (AROMA-VERSION) onto storage

2. boot into recovery and do following wipes -> advanced wipe ...

--- davlick cache

--- data

--- internal storage

--- system

--- afterwards please do an 'format data' to be on safe side

3. pick 'install' -> pick ROM and finalize installation-process

ATTENTION

If you are already on .757 the following steps -> 4, 5, 6 and 8 are not needed!

4. once done -> go to home -> pick 'reboot' -> pick 'POWER OFF'

5. start flashtool on PC and pick correct kernel (with or without LTE-version) -> pick 'flash' and wait until flashtool will ask you to connect Z1 by using flash-mode

6. connect Z1 and let flash been finalized

7. unplut Z1, reboot and now you're done

8. (optional) Now you're able to flash any custom-kernel you like -> iHackers-one preferred ^-^!

HAVE FUN!
