One More Question

I Have one more question. What is dualrecovery ? & What can i do with that? Thansk Again
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emccccc:
dual recovery is the "recovery" for your device. you can wipe data, cache,dalvik and etc on in. and using it, you can make nandroid backups, flash mods, and other fun stuff. To access it, turn you phone off. Then turn it back on, be ready because it should flash a GREEN led light suddenly, once it lights up click either up or down volume until the color changes. Down volume = TWRP, Up volume = Philz touch I THINK. not sure with the up volume. i use TWRP for backups and mods and roms.

Root Z1. KitKat 4.4.X

Hello everybody!

I am a new member here and i would like to share how i root my Xperia Z1 (C6903) KitKat 4.4.4. Version 14.4.A.0.108 with

stock Firmware and locked bootloader.

So, i have tried to root my phone with different flashtools, installed drivers etc etc but no luck. Finally i came over this page;

http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z1/development/newroot-z1-t2807092

First: I disabled any antivirus, malwareprogram it can give a false viruswarning and remove the file. I extracted the program Newroot to my desktop (How to find the program see above link).

On the phone: I went to settings/about the phone, scrolled down to the bottom to: Version, tapped version several times (for me 7 times) and a popup comes up and say you are now a developer. Now i set the developer options to ON and enabled USB-debugging. As default i also have enabled installation from unknown resources and unchecked the box Verifying apps. (Settings/SecurityUnknown resources/Verifying apps).

Now, I connected my phone to the PC with the USB-cable. Started the program Newroot from desktop, in the popup of the program i see that option "Check this to root your phone" is set by default. Now i just hit proced button and the rooting started, kept an eye on my phone and the phone rebooted. That was all and i had rooted phone with the superuser app in the apps section! :victory:. For some users first root does not work properly. If not sure you have completely root, check root with: Check Root. You can find it on Google store here:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.avaranasoftware.checkroot

If there is any error-messages, or if it says that busybox is not installed, use the Newroot program again to Unroot the phone instead. After unroot use Newroot program again to Root your phone. After reboot check again with Check Root, now everything should be fine. and both superuser app and busybox should be installed.

Good luck!

Note: Above is only a description of how i successfully rooted my phone. So i don´t take any responsibility for any eventual problems for others who root their phone.

Huge thanks to munjeni for this awesome program! :highfive:

Have fun
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
It will not unroot the phone, but it will wipe all your user data
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcooleo:
So if i unroot the phone first, and then access recovery mode and choose that option, will it be the same as factory reset and i can use warranty of the phone if needed?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
If you unroot the phone you will lose recovery.

If you want to unroot the easiest way is just to flash a stock FTF using flashtool.

And rooting does not void the warranty, only unlocking the bootloader does that
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcooleo:
Aha ok i understand, thank you for this helpful response. Big thanks!
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcooleo:
Now a couple of days i used the Newroot tool. I have installed some utilities with functions that requires root. Root Manager app says i have the Clockworkmod and most functions in that program does not work, and Titanium backup pro complains that my CVM- Superuser program can cause some functions to work improperly, and i should update my binaries to SuperSU for the program to work properly.

I installed SuperSU and in recoverymode i got the question if i wanted to "install the untrusted SuperSU Zip and this can not be undone". I chose no because i was not sure what could happen so i reboot the phone and after that i was not rooted anymore, i checked with root checker and my programs that requires root did not function. So i rooted the phone again with Newroot and i got root again and all problems were gone, root access was granted to all programs that required root, except for root manager...

So i googled about Clockworkmod and that mod is rarely used for the Z1-model, most used for Samsung and HTC.

So i wonder if i backup all my data via PC-Companion, can i choose "repair the phone" and it will turn back the phone to it´s original state?

Or do i have to flash the phone myself with a stock rom? I have search for my stock rom everywhere and i cannot find it. But with PC-Companion is it possible to return the phone to it´s original state?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Force a repair with pccompanion to return your phone to factory state
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcooleo:
Successfully returned it to factory state. Pressed *#*#7378423#*#* and checked, and everything is exactly as it was when i was rooted, so i assume the Newroot prog did nothing to my phone except for rooting it and installed recovery?

Anyway, maybe i will root my phone again now when i know it is possible to turn it back to stock to get the benefits from root.

Huge thanks gregbradley you made my day! :good: :victory:
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
No worries.

Yes the newroot process only roots the phone, it does nothing to the bootloader
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcooleo:
I guess there will not pass many days before i root the phone again...;)
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emccccc:
no. as long as superSU is a system app, you will have no root access problems. BUT if you wipe data and factory reset without making it a system app, you will lose the app but, you won't lose root. you will just lose the app that grants root access. easy to fix by just installing superSU from playstore or flashing the superSU zip found here in xda. do a search for the zip.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcooleo:
Big thanks! That explains a lot.

I have rooted my Z1 stock 14.4.A.0.108 with Flashtool 0.9.18.1 (the latest one is 0.9.18.2) without problems. Only I needed to reinstall BusyBox after the root process.

Well, because my Z1 can't reboot into recovery after the "standard" process, I installed recovery following the next steps

- Copy Z1-lockeddualrecovery2.7.154-BETA.flashable.zip to the SD Card

- Backup TA (with v9.11). You must backup your TA partition if you're planning to use custom ROMs or unlock the Bootloader in the future.

- Flash recovery with Z1-lockeddualrecovery2.7.154-BETA.installer.zip. To do that, just uncompress the zip archive and execute install.bat

- If everything is OK the Z1 reboot into recovery.

- At this step I needed to reflash the recovery from SD Card using Z1-lockeddualrecovery2.7.154-BETA.flashable.zip (Why? I don't know, but as I said, my Z1 can't reboot into revovery without the second flash from SD)

- After the "second flash" I rebooted my Z1 and everything is working like a charm.

- Now I can reboot into any recovery using NDR Utils

I hope this helps.

hi...

well im pretty sad cause i dropped my galaxy s2 on the floor(not the 1st time)...this time when i switched it on all it shows is a white screen with crazy coloured lines.i waited a bit and i understood that it booted up.i pressed the power button and the display went off and heard the sound(i assigned it on pressing power button).then i again pressed the power button switching on the phone to its lockscreen and from my memory i pressed that jellybean locksreen buttton and slid my finger.anyways it unlocked and went to the homescreen.later i was able to switch off the phone too....everything works except the screen...

Is it just that my lcd is loose connected or is it damaged and would i need a replacement.

Sorry for the lengthy description if it bored you and my advance thanks to anyone who gives an answer and thanks to xda -for this forum.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knuckles1978:
Have a very close look at the screen under a not too bright light and see if you can notice any cracks. Sometimes you can barely see them.

If you can't see any, then if I were you I'd open it up and pray to God that it's just the screen connector that's come off slightly. It's a possibility.

Good luck..

So I paid to get the unlock code a few weeks ago and got a code back from him, but unfortunately the code failed. I'm not sure why the code failed, other than that my device is new (6-16-14 build date). I attached a screenshot with the code blurred out of my results in Terminal Anyone else experience this?

Also, since the code did not work, I initiated a dispute to say that the code didn't work (I have paid him for another unlock on my previous Moto X that worked) but he did not accept and just sent back another message with the same code that still doesn't work. What should I do?

Thanks!!!
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
I wonder if Moto is "poisoning" the database he is using. This could signal that the ride is ending....
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
Ensure the IMEI you are sending is correct.

Confirm the IMEI his response with the code matches your IMEI.

Ensure you are using only the 20digit code, which is case sensitive, and not any part of your IMEI (I've read some reports of him sending it back as something like "your code is: XXXXX YYYYYY" where one part is your IMEI and the other is your code.
[Moto X Q&A] bravesfan171:
I did do that and it is the same. I am using the code, which is 20 digits. I've also tried in Mac and Windows.
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
In your screen shot you show using fastboot... try mFastboot?

Otherwise I don't know what to say, other than the code he has is wrong for some reason.
[Moto X Q&A] bravesfan171:
Same result with mfastboot. Anyone else had issues with a code not working? Or anyone have any ideas of what I should do?

Also, has anyone unlocked a device with around a 6-16-14 build date?
[Moto X Q&A] classic757:
IDK, but 6-16-14 seems TOO new for him to have a code for you.

I have a Moto G and my build date is 3-4-2014. He was able to get a successful code for me but on the Moto G unlock thread http://xdaforums.com/moto-x/general/china-middleman-t2751177 there are some with build dates in June 2014 who were told that there devices were too new for him to have an unlock code for them and for them to check back in about a month. Kind of surprised he was able to get a code for you, albeit an unsuccessful one. :confused:
[Moto X Q&A] bravesfan171:
That's what I thought was strange too. Do you think I should try again in a couple weeks? Or would he just give me that same wrong code again?
[Moto X Q&A] classic757:
Maybe you can try again but I don't know if he will send you a different code since he says that is the code for your phone. You may have to contact Paypal and see what steps you can take if any to resolve your situation. I hope this gets resolved for you in a timely fashion and that you are able to get your phone unlocked.

---------- Post added at 05:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:32 PM ----------

I hear you. Sooner or later Motorola will probably find a way to put a stop to this and shut it down.
[Moto X Q&A] bravesfan171:
I did initiate a dispute already since the code didn't work but he didn't accept it since he already had to pay the source. I don't know if I should fight it anymore and it makes me reluctant to waste another 45 bucks that I might not be able to get back again if I try later.

Any advice guys?
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
Send him a screenshot of it showing that the pwd is incorrect. Tell him that you expect to be refunded since the code is obviously incorrect.

If he still refuses, maintain the dispute, and let PayPal know that the seller refuses to refund you. PayPal will probably decide in your favor. Additionally, if you used a credit card to fund the paypal payment, you could dispute it with the credit card company if PayPal does not side with you.

I hate to recommend disputes, but if I received an incorrect code, I would most definitely dispute. $45 may not be much, but its the fact of the matter...
[Moto X Q&A] classic757:
IDK, this is the first time I heard about him not wanting to refund a payment, especially since the code he sent you was not successful.

From what I have read and experienced, the guy is pretty reliable.
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
Since the code sent to you doesn't work, I would fight it.

If you did the paypal as Goods/Services, can't you state that the "goods received" are bad, not correct, etc?
[Moto X Q&A] bravesfan171:
I did do it as Goods/Services. I have now had to escalate it from a dispute to a claim since he refused the refund. He now has until the 14th to review that then PayPal must look it over before I could get a refund.

I wonder why I am the only one this has happened to. I haven't seen any others saying their codes failed.
[Moto X Q&A] mcw:
Did you try and run the "fastboot oem get_unlock_data" command first? If not, give that a shot first, and then re-try your code you received.
[Moto X Q&A] classic757:
Others have reported unsuccessful codes but according to them they were able to get their refund in a timely fashion.
