[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
That's OK as long as you can unlock the bootloader, also without a TA backup its possible for anyone to see its been unlocked (Even after relocking), hence no warranty. With a TA backup you can reloack, restore your TA and "get" your warranty back

Or any stock based custom kernel
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stealthy Hunter:
I hade the KitKat rooting problem but NUT helped me

I unlocked my bootloader and nothing was gone..of course I backed up my TA its very important to do..

my problem was that the customization of my phone is SG and it has no .534fw so I cant downgrade...downgrading to another cust caused IMEI error 000000000000000000...So I used the method that NUT provide me with :o:o
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ramonleeyj:
Thanks, it's almost what I wanted to know.

Are you the guy who made all those awesome icon packs?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stealthy Hunter:
I'm not a developer:p ... I'm a user just like you:)

the provided steps were by [NUT]

What icon pack??
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
There is no point backing up the TA after unlocking, its got to be done before

As it does for all Z1 (Irrelevant of customisation) devices when downgrading from 4.3 or 4.4 to a 4.2 FW, but you will get it back upon upgrading.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stealthy Hunter:
Of course...downgrading will be helpful for backing up the TA while the device still locked...H hade to back up the TA while using NUT's .534fw ROM.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Before or after unlocking the bootloader?

If you did it after there is no point. It has to be done before unlocking the bootloader.

If you did it after, then you may as well have not downgraded. There is no need, just unlock, flash SuperSU and then flash a ROM.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Oops, mistaken Stealthy Hunter for Stealthychief.

My bad. :P
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stealthy Hunter:
Before ... I had the backup since I found a way to root...but now when heard about no loss of the DRM keys since the KK update I used NUT method to root and keep the stock ROM...the only problem here is the OTA update...Do you have any idea about this in order ant ota released??
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
I am getting confused about what you have done. If you have unlocked your bootloader why would you downgrade to root?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stealthy Hunter:
:confused: I said what I did earlier :)

A little confusion happened here:D

I was talking about what I did b4 for those who don't know....

but for now if ota released how to update on UB??
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Don't

http://prntscr.com/3j3r88

Wait for a FTF to become available and update, or relock (Restore your TA :D ) update, then unlock again and flash a custom kernel
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stealthy Hunter:
Unfortunately every time I tried to relock my device get soft bricked and I will have to flash FTF again... H can't relock without the softBrick bad problem??

How to update using the FTF?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Of course you will unless you flash back to a stock kernel.

Just relock, flash stock kernel (In either order) then flash FTF using flashtool then unlock and flash custom kernel

If the new update does not need an updated kernel you can just flash the FTF and exclude kernel. One step....

Towelroot Announced

Hey guys, do you know Towelroot?

It's especially for KitKat devices (4.4.2 and lower).

Click the lambda, download and install APK, press "Make It Rain" and done, your phone is rooted with locked bootloader.

What do guys think?:confused:

Yes, I do know you can remove it in security settings but I use the patten lock.

I just want to remove the lock screen so when I turn on my phone I just have to swipe my patten and I'm at the home screen.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] My Beer Belly:
173 83556688

I believe that can be accomplished via the Sense 6 toolbox in xposed. Under various mods there is a quick unlock option, but I haven't tested it to confirm what exactly it does. Without root though, I'm not sure there are any settings to accomplish this.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haitu:
It's not. I have the tool box. It's not in the xposed lock screen module either. All that does is remove the the widget.

As Sony is advertising "Z1 is waterproof smartphone.." But actually it is not..!!

View attachment 2741031

You must have to close all your ports and flips for avoiding water getting in..

Even If you had closed your ports Still be aware..!! Bcoz it is not enough.. There are much more changes of getting water in through the gaps between Cam, sound and lock key..

Z1 got IP 55 and IP 58 certification.. But certification says It is Just a "Water-Resistance"..

I think Sony don't know the difference between "Waterproof" and "Water-Resistance"

In short Sony is cheating us..!!

So be aware Guyz..

Thanks & Regards.
[Xperia Z1 General] c312eal:
Another troll. I've submerged the phone in water many times and nothing is wrong with it. The phone is sealed. Sony says the phone can be submerged in water for 30 minutes in 1.5m. Users on this forum have gon beyond the 30minutes and deeper than 1.5m. Sony did not cheat us, just you're misunderstanding things.
[Xperia Z1 General] Nagesh_Noddy:
You can visit Sony's official forum..

You will find some interesting post.. Even i had experienced same.. I got quick battery drain problm,, I gave cell to service centre,, They avoid my warranty bcoz liquid tampered..

I did not open port after installing SIM and microSD at start.. Even i do charging with magnetic dock.. Even tho how do water gets in..?

If i calculate overall time then also i had not submerged my phone for 30 mins..!!

There are many more people who are facing same problems..!!
[Xperia Z1 General] juDGEY2k10:
ports will get loose u need to make sure they tight before u try in water.

Common sense really :)
[Xperia Z1 General] guddu2011:
i bet your ports were not closed properly or your phone was faulty, because i went for swimming with my z1 for almost an hour and no issues.
[Xperia Z1 General] jfxperias:
many people have fun at dipping their portable hot in cold water ( highly unadviced ) ... of same if your phone is well fell, you can forgotten the waterproofing... and sony unadviced the chemical products, chlore in pool, same for salt... the better it's of the wipe after with of the soft water... But I have changed my ecran, after broken, and no issue with water...

[Xperia Z1 General] Ierlanfdan:
No trolling, I had mine four hours (brand new out of the sealing ) and gently putted it into 20 cm of normal water. Maybe 1 minute because I was filming it. So I know the ports where shut tight because I filmed those parts with extra care and it wasn't dropped.

Well, dead after 2 minutes.

Turned out the sealing of the headphone jack was not there or the seal wasn't good installed. Press phone in your mouth and try to blow into the headphone jack. Shouldn't be possible.

About the warranty. A big mouth and a "f**** you, it's waterproof morron" mentality works. After a lot of idiots (at the service centre) whining about warranty and waterproof I got a brand new one. They had to, I filmed it :)
[Xperia Z1 General] Moze666:
I cannot do this without swearing, but we don't need these topics, be aware, be aware, we are aware. No one will put his phone in the water with everything open + my Z1 was in the rivers, lakes and nothing.
[Xperia Z1 General] Luinwethion:
And tell me the difference?

Water proof and water resistant is the same, but people uses the term water resistant, when they mean SPLASH water resistant.

The Z1 has 2 ratings for it's water protection:

IPX5 > Resistance against low pressure water jets

IPX8 > Resistance against immersion in water up to 1.5 meters for 30 minutes.

What Sony doesn't inform, and I think they should, is the the phone can be under water, but you should avoid any abrupt movement underwater, or doing thinks like jumping in the pool with your phone, the water force in those situations is massive, and our phone isn't protected against high pressure water.

We also should mind those water jets (from the pool pump filter), or even tap or hoses with high pressure.

With that in mind, and keeping the sealing in the covers clean, your phone should be fine when taking a bath.
[Xperia Z1 General] scoobdude:
Mine survived water slides, tubing, and swimming. Had it in my shorts cargo pocket whole time I was not taking pics with it.

So be aware the phone works as designed.

[General Accessories] walkthree:
For most of people, it is necessary to buy an external battery to make sure your phone work smoothly at any time anywhere.

But how to choose a good battery? I think it is the question which many users are concerned about.

As everyone knows, external battery is composed of three main parts: case, cell, Mainboard.

1. Material for the case, most are ABS+PC, some are metal, cost of metal are high and then the price are higher.

2.Cell is the main part of the battery, the quality of the cell is very important to everybody. there are two types of the cell, Li-ion and Li-polymer.

Most of the external battery producer choose Li-polymer cell to meet different demands of the users, the questions is also here, mang producer write higher capacity on the battery, that is to say, the real capacity is lower, so you must ask the real capacity before placing order to make sure the battery can be useful for you.

3. Main board is consist of many little components, but its role is key, for example, Circuit protection system insert it can make sure your battery work orderly and safely. Good mainboard can prolong the service life of the product.

I will be happy if this text is helpful for you.
[General Accessories] river-mystique:
Buy the external battery only if needed not otherwise coz it will be a money waste. And if buying, make sure that you buy the original one and also check it with your mobile then and there. Because a lot of duplicate external batteries is doing round. :cowboy:
[General Accessories] Hermosa:
Maybe a power bank is more useful.http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IKEVZSO/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8&me=

Look at this,it may help.

As for extended battery,I think Material and Quality are the key points.

Has anyone dealt with this phone as of yet? there is no info off of google or anywhere. the phone is a SM-S780L

any help would be useful.

Sounds like a Korean model to me and all the info I seen on this is that it is not launched yet..could you take some pics of this phone as rooting it could be harder to do...unless you try the recoveries from [MENTION=4551757]Silesh.Nair[/MENTION] post in his signature as you can use odin and see if it will work that way. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] mr_kill_666:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/vobhp9lps2yw3ep/AADpr-LjrhZSqubYNGhND7oOa

here are a few pictures. also, its on 4.2.2 and it has knox security

besides kingo what other ways are there to root? the Odin files you mentioned only?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] starmaster10:
Check this link here and go into the recoveries folder and choose which recovery you want to use and get the .tar file of the recovery you choose and flash that .tar file with odin..theae are from [MENTION=4551757]Silesh.Nair[/MENTION] stuff.

See how those recoveries will work for you to root the device. :)

Oh and by the looks of your pics you should not have knox..butt the kernel it shows it might have knox though as it looks the same as mine..as a way to check that is go into the download mode by having phone off and hold the power and vol-down button until the phone vibrates and release and when the warning screen appears push the vol-up button and you should now be in the download mode and see if there are two lines that have one line that says knox kernel and other line says knox warranty appear..if not then knox is not present in your phone.

If the above key combo does not work include pressing the home key with the other two at the same time. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] mr_kill_666:
i uploaded a pic of my download screen to https://www.dropbox.com/sh/vobhp9lps2yw3ep/AADpr-LjrhZSqubYNGhND7oOa , and there is know kernel and warranty lines.

so if i install one of the recoveries and it doesnt work, could i be screwed since there arnt any tar files of this phones original recovery, right?

also, how could i pull the complete firmware/kernal/tar from this phone to upload and share it.
