Yep. All 3 of my fatboy orders were cancelled.

They had a $5 deal for the dt-900 ones too and that also got cancelled.

Luckily, I was able to pick up two dt-900s from my local att store

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ro xl123:
Hello XDA forums, i've recently bought a Sony Xperia Z1 (C6906) and it has android KitKat 4.4.2, i'm not sure about the exact version tough, update center says that it's the most recent version. Now I have a couple questions,

1) First of all, I want to root my device and my former experiances on Android was on my Galaxy S4, which i could simply use Odin to do most stuff. From what I understood, that option is not possible, at least when my phone is just, stock. How can I root this stock phone easily?

2) And also I've heard that I had to downgrade the device in order to be able to root it. I don't want to downgrade, especially to 4.3, can't I just root in the current firmware?

3) Is bootloader a dangerous thing to mess with? Some say if I don't take backup of TA, I may hard-brick the device. Is that true? And is it an easy thing to do? To backup TA, do I have to root?

4) Also how can I install CWM to my device. I also want to install CWM on my device.

Thanks..
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Follow the NUMEROUS instructions already posted. There are some in my signature

No, that's why every guide says to downgrade

Yes, messing with the bootloader can lead to a hard brick, yes you need root to backup the TA

Follow the link in my signature to get that done
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
The answare are spread over here, why do not take some more time to read?

To root your Z1 (C6906) you have to downgrade to .534 Firmware, Install DualRecovery, Ungrade to Pre-Rooted Kitkat by NUT.

No way! You have to downgrade then upgrade to pre-rooted version.

Is not dangerous. You brick phones just doing mistakes. You don't have to Unlock Bootloader to gain Root. So skip this part.

Download the lates DualRecovery for Z1 which have CWM, Philz and TWRP Recovery, all 3 in one. Just run the application from PC and install to phone, but you have to be on .534 FW.

This is why the people get confused. Downgrade to .534 first, then install DualRecovery, then follow the Instruction from that link to get to your Firmware Rooted.

I think [MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION] should add this steps on his threads for people like you who start from not rooted .681, .757 and so on.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ro xl123:
Well, I tought Sony would be just like Samsung, after all they are both androids is what I tought. Well, it's diffrent :/ Anyways I got to make sure about the things I do, because they may end up as bad things such as brick or etc.

I got it now, it's almost done.

Back in S4, all I had to do was to take the phone into Odin mode, then flash tar.md5's via odin, and it was all over, I installed cwm and rooted without downgrading and so. I feel sad that Xperia wasn't like. Well it's a great phone tough..

thanks alot everybody!

It's very easy to Root the Z1, if I will had a chance in 5 minutes all will be done and the pain gone. ;)
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ro xl123:
Well, yeah but the downgrading part kind of sucks. Anyways, after installung recovery, it's all easy :)
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
Just put the .534 FW in Flashtool Folder and flash it. Then connect to PC and use the Installer to install Dual recovery...the rest you know...

BTW, wipe everything any time you flash anything (Data, Appslog, Cache) to execute a clean installation. Yes, you will lose your data, but better be safe instead have issues later.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ro xl123:
So, having root and recovery without unlocking bootloader in version .757 OFW is not possible? The thing is, I don't really want to unlock the bootloader, but i really want to have root privilleges, recovery mod is optional tough, i tought i could root easily with using CWM. So what I want is not possible?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
So you just telling me that you did not understood a single word from what we already told you, great!

Follow the 3 steps provided by [MENTION=3843529]gregbradley[/MENTION]
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ro xl123:
No, I understood but kinda didn't wanted to.. :/

I already downgraded, rooted and installed recovery. Then I updated to stock rom 757 back, thinking that I could simply root using recovery. Anyways, after I updated, I couldn't get in to recovery mode, because the one I installed was without unlocking bootloader, I simply installed firmware based recovery. I don't really think about unlocking bootloader, the TA codes and stuff kinda scares me.. I did took backup of my TA tough. I just need to have root in OFW Kitkat. I can do without recovery (which i can't install because of bootloader). But root is essential. :/
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
You did NOT.

Downgrade, install DualRecovery, upgrade with the Pre-Rooted .757 using the method for LOCKED Bootloader by NUT here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2711982

this app can use custom icon packs on a stock launcher...

nevertheless - this is a good step up

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UNForces:
I'm planning to buy a used S4 through a local website that offers a space for people to display ads for their phones (something like Swappa), but the problem is that :

- I have seen many fake products which looked exactly the same and even have TouchWiz on JB. What's more confusing is that most of these products have a printed valid IMEI number.

- used phones might have hidden problems with their sensors, or hardware in general even if they are genuine.

Questions:

01- I though I might compare the valid printed IMEI with the one I get when dialing *#06#, but I'm not sure if that number can be faked as well, can it?

02- Is there a systemic way of checking the sensors, cam, microphone, wifi etc by an app or something similar?

03- I think a benchmark tool like Antutu's can help to see the exact specs and compare them to the original ones. Can some of you take a screenshot of the exact specs as they appear in Antutut Benchmark or Android System Info.

04- How to know if a genuine S4 has been flashed before if it has an unrooted stock rom at the moment of checking?

05- Any advice on what to look for when examining a used S4?

PS: I will have physical access to the phone before buying.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UNForces:
Conclusion

I searched a lot and here's a systematic test.

*#06# (dial it on the phone itself)

to get the IMEI number and compare it to the one printed on the package and the warranty certificate if any is present.

Droid Hardware Info and Phone INFO ★Samsung★ (apps from Google Play)

use these two apps to check the hardware specs (like processor, number of cores, GPU, ram, etc)

Diagnostic Menu *#0*# (again dial the number on the phone itself)

and test all the items

Connect to a laptop to check if it's read properly.

Use a Micro SD to check if it's read properly and try to copy a couple of small files to it.

volume down – power – and home to get to download mode it should say

CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official

if Custom appears somewhere in current binary or system status, the phone has been flashed before.

Check the battery look and weight and connect charger and see percentage/min.

NOTE:

There's a faulty battery batch whose serial starts with BD1 you can find more info in this thread

Check the hand and headset buttons and their buttons. And rotate the 3.5 mm jack while playing some music to see if there's a problem with its socket appearing as distortion in sound.

I also found that under the Google settings, turning off the device managers like remote wipe helped a lot.

Lastly Motocare was causing a lot of issues. I had turned it off under Motorola privacy but it was still collecting data. In the settings/apps/all I cleared the 50+MB of data and force stopped it and did the same for MotocareInt. That seemed to help a lot.
