I have dual recovery ready to pull the trigger but as yet have found no need for it

[Xperia Z1 General] joecool666:
re heat and root

ps i am going to try your way,
[Xperia Z1 General] sgaheer:
Nicee

Just rooted my phone using this method (which is AWESOME) & also installed the custom recovery,

just wanted to know how i would have to update this phone when the next update comes out?

Can i still use PC companion or do i have to go back to stock recovery, etc
[Xperia Z1 General] Tonian1878:
you can still update through PC Companion but you will lose root if you do so.

you may still be able to use this towelroot exploit to re-root your device again, it just depends if future updates patch up this towelroot exploit
[Xperia Z1 General] gregbradley:
Also, future updates will be quickly patched into pre rooted roms which you will be able to flash in recovery.
[Xperia Z1 General] t.h.i:
Work perfect on .757 fw stock rom!!!!
[Xperia Z1 General] efx_d3:
works well for me too !!!!!: Laugh:
[Xperia Z1 General] sgaheer:
That's a better idea, thanks.

Btw, are there any other steps I have to take before I can install custom roms or kernels, because on my old evo 3d I had to unlock the bootloader to install kernels
[Xperia Z1 General] Dadovvv:
Same on Sony devices, u need to unlock bootloader to flash custom kernel. u can check is your bootloader unlockable by typing *#*#7378423#*#* then go to Service info --- Configuration, from there u can see is your BL unlock alow yes or no.
[Xperia Z1 General] adam20115:
Works well on .761, rooted with recovery, and many mods installed :)

after it i downloaded recovery, flashed it, then i flashed superSU an done ! i now have root access ! woohoo !

remember to xpose it ! you will want it !

btw im at .757, latest here !
[Xperia Z1 General] zxz0O0:
Next version will work on Z1 4.3.
[Xperia Z1 General] mesaosi:
Won't work for me on a C6903 with 4.4.2. The app just hangs until the OS asks if I want to force close it. :(
[Xperia Z1 General] Sharpless78:
Same here :(
[Xperia Z1 General] metal_god69:
Worked on my c6906. Had to do it on my pc:

-Download EasyRootTool v5.zip from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2784900 and extract it to a folder somewhere on your pc

-Download towelroot (tr.apk) and save it inside the Files folder that was created when you extracted in previous step

-Run the install.bat file and choose Option 1 (SuperSU option)

best of luck
[Xperia Z1 General] Sharpless78:
The Towelroot app behaves in the same way using that tool, I press the button and then nothing happens.
[Xperia Z1 General] Geoffxx:
you must uninstall the TR>apk app from your phone first before running the install process from your PC - a reboot wouldn't do any harm either

also make sure you have developer options enabled with USB debugging

Might be an Idea to remove any anti virus programs etc also and reboot

I can see no reason why your Z1 would be different to anyone else that has used this process with success other than the things I listed above
[Xperia Z1 General] Sharpless78:
Tried the new version, and now it worked. Now I just need to install SuperSU.
[Xperia Z1 General] Sharpless78:
I think something might have gone wrong with the install:

Check your device and click "make it ra1n"
Waiting for towelroot to exploit...
-n .

Device rooted. Installing RIC kill script "$RICkill"...
/system/bin/sh: su: not found

Shouldn't there be a su after root?
[Xperia Z1 General] metal_god69:
Give it time, it took a bit for me as well but I can confirm it does in fact work
[Xperia Z1 General] Sharpless78:
I'll try again then, and wait a few hours.

V6 seems to be broken, even though it states that it completed the hack. (Too new to be able to post in EasyRootTool-thread)
[Xperia Z1 General] lelouch68:
Towelroot v3 seems to work. Says phone has root but when you check with supersu it doesn't have root. I'm on Z1s.
[Xperia Z1 General] Nemeziz 56th:
Tried Towelroot (newest Version) and root. 757 in 15 Minutes.

Very Happy
[Xperia Z1 General] Qefx:
I used easyroot towelroot. Worked like a charm, now I am rooted (permanent) install dualrecovery but only TWRP recovery works (CM and philz) does not load. Any idea why?
[Xperia Z1 General] Geoffxx:
did you guys run this new version from pc or just the tr.apk from phone ?
[Xperia Z1 General] reza_v:
Easy root tool v7 worked on my locked C6903 (running .757). SuperSU failed at first but after a reboot, it's working fine.
[Xperia Z1 General] Giulios99:
Same for me, I checked root with root checker and it's ok, I can also give su permissions to apps like titanium backup, but when I open SuperSU it says that I have to update binaries and I can't do it. If i choose to update from the app, it fails, if i choose to update from the recovey if I tap "Yes, fix it" it shuts down. I tried also flashing SuperSU update 2.00.zip but I have no SuperSU app then. What's the problem?
[Xperia Z1 General] reza_v:
Try updating supersu from the app. after it failed, restart your device. That's what I did, hope it works for you too.
[Xperia Z1 General] Giulios99:
I tried but no results. I tried installing xposed frameworks and it says that i have no root. I also tried to root again with towelroot, still the same problem...
[Xperia Z1 General] cingolat:
Anyone tried it with the new 4.4.4 firmware?
[Xperia Z1 General] DjeMBeY:
Yeah, TowelRoot itself did NOTHING but when I used Easy Root Kit v7 - all OK... :)
[Xperia Z1 General] cingolat:
this is a very good news.......many thanks for your feedback
[Xperia Z1 General] joecool666:
Easy Root Kit v7

Easy Root Kit v7 worked for me, regards joe
[Xperia Z1 General] Sharpless78:
Same here, no root even though the towelroot app says it is done, and SuperSU doesn't work. I tried reboot to no avail.
[Xperia Z1 General] lipanz:

after the update using PCC I ran v7 of the towelroot script from the link and it worked perfectly = I then re-installed the previous already working SU from Chainfire and it worked perfectly - also had to reinstall busybox

painless and took less than 5 mins

[Xperia Z1 General] glynypig:
Bit of a noob question but can anyone help with Dual Recovery installation ? After towelroot I installed dual recovery .129 which has issues with towelroot (found this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2261606&highlight=removal&page=242 but cant post there sorry) All I'm looking to do is remove dual recovery and start again with the newer version (.132) but the instructions on removing dual recovery :

Delete the following files:

/system/bin/recovery.twrp.cpio.lzma (or .tar)

/system/bin/recovery.cwm.cpio.lzma (or .tar)

/system/bin/recovery.philz.cpio.lzma

/system/bin/charger

/system/bin/ric

/system/bin/chargemon

/system/bin/dualrecovery.sh

Then inside */system/bin/ rename chargemon.stock to chargemon check its permissions (should be 755 or otherwise visible as -rwxr-x-r-x). Done!

Didnt fully correspond with the files on my phone. Both the charger and ric files werent present. I deleted what was there (except for a file I could see dual recovery had installed called rickiller.sh) and renamed the chargemon but now dual recovery .132 wont install fully as its saying files are already present.

Has anyone had a similar issue? Very likely I've done something wrong but any help on how to remover dual recovery fully would be much appreciated.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Johndoe12358:
I have a rooted nexus 7 2013 wifi and I am trying to update to 4.4.3. I had the elementalx kernel installed but reflashed with stock. I also have stock rom. When I try to flash the update it says that thermald has unexpected contents. Can someone please provide a stock copy of that file so I can try to update. I am trying to update because I do not want to wipe my entire tablet.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] mdamaged:
Just flash the stock system.img. It does not wipe any data, you just have to reroot it after you get updated.

You can get the factory image from here. Then just unzip it, inside you'll find a second zip, unzip that, and in that you will find system.img.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Johndoe12358:
I just tried this and it works. Thanks! I am glad I did not have to reload my entire tablet.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] talkingmonkeys:
I found this guide here and this is what I did differently from it to make this work for us. You can use the linked file to click an app to change the icon or you can add it into settings in your rom. For those that don't know what this does this probably isn't the thread for you. Just wait until you see it popping up in the roms you use. This should work universally for ND8 builds.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2730108

Now instead of following all of his steps and not finding what you're searching for I will simplify this some to make it quicker. You will want to search for this and replace it throughout the smali file in your decompiled systemui.apk (\SystemUI\smali\com\android\systemui\statusbar\ph one\PhoneStatusBar.smali)

Find all instances of

Lcom/android/systemui/statusbar/policy/BatteryController;

and replace with

Lcom/ghareeb/BatteryMod/BatteryController;

Then open (\SystemUI\res\layout\status_bar.xml) and find [This may already be changed if you used tdunham's 1% battery mod]

<com.android.systemui.BatteryMeterView android:id="@id/battery" android:layout_width="12.0dip" android:layout_height="18.0dip" android:layout_marginBottom="0.33000004dip" android:layout_marginStart="5.0dip" />

and replace it with

<ImageView android:gravity="center" android:id="@id/battery" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginBottom="0.0dip" android:layout_marginStart="2.0dip" />

Now most importantly you need to add these smali files to your systemui so they're in (systemui/smali/com/ghareeb/BatteryMod)

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2706746&stc=1&d=1398368939

Then add the OGBatterymod.apk of your choice to system/app. I didn't provide one in this guide sorry but maybe I will upload one eventually. You can easily look for one to add, all the old ones should work.

To add it to secsettings under display

Decompile secsettings.apk and open (\SecSettings\res\xml\display_settings.xml)

Find

<PreferenceScreen android:title="@string/notification_panel_title" android:key="notification_panel_edit" android:fragment="com.android.settings.NotificationPanelMenu" />

Add this under that line

<PreferenceScreen android:title="@string/battery_mod" android:summary="@string/battery_mod_desc">
<intent android:targetPackage="com.ghareeb.battery" android:action="android.intent.action.MAIN" android:targetClass="com.ghareeb.battery.Settings" />
</PreferenceScreen>

Now open (\SecSettings\res\values\string.xml) and add this

<string name="battery_mod">OGBattery Mod</string>
<string name="battery_mod_desc">Change battery icon and charging animation.</string>

For those who don't want to add this to settings for some reason you can find one with the icon so you can just open the app here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2758088

Thanks to [MENTION=4937202]OsamaGhareeb[/MENTION] and [MENTION=5584587]meawww[/MENTION] also [MENTION=2941167]axel06[/MENTION] for his that I linked with the icon instead of having to have it in settings if anyone would like to do it this way.

Great guide man. I've been trying to get this mod going using some of the other guides out there, but no luck. Glad I found this. A couple of questions; I don't see a \ph one\ folder in my statusbar smali. Is that typo? Should it be: \SystemUI\smali\com\android\systemui\statusbar\PhoneStatusBar.smali. If so, I followed all steps but I get the following error when trying to recompile. Is it a syntax error?

Edit: Sorry about the path question. Dummy me. As for the recompile error, I think it has something to do with one of the smali files in the Ghareeb zip?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] talkingmonkeys:
Try using a different apktool. I think I used 2 beta. The different apk tools use different parameters and I can't remember exactly what you need to change it to for it to recompile just this minute
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nyfl2004:
Thanks man. I can recompile your edits with no problem. I can't recompile once I add the Ghareeb smali files. I'll keep trying. Thanks again..

Recommend asking your question in the Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum.

I hope that it will get back in few hrs...:crying:

Then get the original charging cover, it's that simple
[Galaxy S 5 General] emuX:
I've been using a QI wireless charging pad for a couple of weeks without any problem. As another user posted, the only effect I've noticed is a slight bulge in the back panel. It doesn't get especially hot (although it does warm a little more than with USB charging.)

The only other thing is that I've got a wallet case on my phone and charge through that (so there's some plastic between the phone and charging plate.)
[Galaxy S 5 General] nexy33:
I have the expower ultra thin card and in the instructions it tells you to remove the copper screening sticker from inside the original back plate as it causes extra heat when charging. Its a ***** to peel off as well. Gets warm but not enough to bend my phone by any means and it charges fine through my defender case there's no noticeable bulge in the back plate either. If i want to put it in water i'll throw an otterbox preserver on it.
[Galaxy S 5 General] emuX:
Removed the copper sticker to see if it makes any difference. My phone doesn't get any warmer than when charging via USB now. :D
