Hi guys, I already once had black screen issue with the files mentioned in the first post. Got my phone back working with fresh ROM install and was wondering what are my options to get root ? I am using Sony Xperia Z1 Compact D5503 . Is it some issue with this particular model ?
[Xperia Z1 General] kilbZ:
Success with D5503

I am now rooted with D5503, locked bootloader. Found the correct kernels to flash from Exxonvaldez's comment on page 6.
[Xperia Z1 General] AnyUserNamesLeft:
Those ads are the only two "buttons".

Does anyone know where I can obtain these necessary files? The only download I had success in acquiring was the flash tool
[Xperia Z1 General] kilbZ:
The screenshot that Waledac posted is not accurate- at least on my end. The bottom download button that says "Download Now" that he has crossed out is the correct one (the middle one does not appear for me). This is what worked for me....

BUT,

As I was double-checking while writing this post I noticed that this may not always be the case and it could be a link for an ad sometimes. Just put your cursor over the download button(s) and see what the URL is in the bottom left of your screen. The correct one should show something like "fs1.d-h.st/download....." If none of the download buttons provide that URL when you hover, simply refresh the page.
[Xperia Z1 General] saplay:
In which methos i have to flash those kernels.

In flasmode or in fastboot mode by using 'flash kernel onlu option'

Thanks for the guide
[Xperia Z1 General] mikkifits:
flashmode for this.
[Xperia Z1 General] Waledac:
They updated the site interface - http://i.imgur.com/DgoqOIA.png
[Xperia Z1 General] ptoner:
Worked for me no problems.

Did notice a slight low down in animations and scrolling generally after updating the kernel the second time. Anyone else?

where did you extract the zip though? you have to enter the directory where the files are. for me i extracted the zip to C:\ using winrar. then enter the folder and execute install.bat. on cmd

C:\Windows\system32> cd C:\rootkitXperia_20140719

C:\rootkitXperia_20140719> install.bat
[Xperia Z1 General] M_Fadl:
Thank you so much.. The whole process worked like a charm :) I extracted the zip in the same directory (C:\) but I was launching install.bat from windows explorer with administration privilege .. Now I did it from the cmd and it worked :good:

Hello, I'm pretty new to this stuff so I'm trying to follow this step by step. When it says that I'm supposed to flash the first file I get stuck. It says "Wait for Flashmode" and gives me instructions. (I would show an image, but I cant post links). It says:

1. Unplug the device

2. Power off the device

3. Press the back button

4. Plug the USB cable

I try to follow them but I'm not sure how I should press the back button when my phone is turned off.

I don't get what I'm supposed to do here, help would be appreciated.
[Xperia Z1 General] ptoner:
Turn off and hold volume button down it should say.

black screen

Hi everyone,

Firstly it would be nice if a hint to getting into the correct USB mode ;) - it needs 7 taps on the build and then the USB settings have to be changed to USB debugging - was put into the guide.

But now my problem:

I think I flashed kernel .108 but I have no way to check it as my screen is black. I tried to reflash the .157 kernel but no change, then I tried the tip with PC Companion but PCCompanion cannot find the Z1 Compact any more. Then I probably did something really foolish, I pressed the "off" button as described in the user guide. This probably resett the USB conne´ction type for now flashtool asks me to put the divice into USB debugging mode.

Any tips what to do with my (probably bricked) phone?

Can I still update OTA after rooting using this guide? Like going to 5.0 officially when Sony releases it (I understand that even if it's possible, root will be lost)

Question

At the moment, I'm running 14.4.A.108 that is rooted and I have disabled/deleted some unwanted bloats. So my query is, would I be able to follow the same procedure and root .157 version without any issue?
[Xperia Z1 General] teruhiko666:
u need to flash the original stock kernel (http://xdaforums.com/sony-xperia-z1-compact/general/firmware-14-4-0-157-review-generic-ftf-t2931318 ) i use the original stock kernel (exclude everything else) after root and it works fine.

The black screen is actually ur phone is on like normal, only no display. so all u need is power it off by holding power + vol up for few seconds until vibrate 3 times to make sure device shut down completely.

Then u can flash original kernel via flashtool
[Xperia Z1 General] papperlapapp:
This just provides root, it does not provide a custom recovery, right?

Thanks

Thank you I had figured that out and my Xperia Z1c is now fully functional, I just could not find this thread any more to post my solution.

I flashed the .108 with flash tool and there is no error, but when i turn on the phone and go to settings, the version is still .157 instead of .108 .....

Where did i got wrong ? what happened ?
[Xperia Z1 General] HannibalSmith12:
Worked for me. C6903. What I did:

1. Update to .157 with pc companion or repair phone (your previous root will be gone)

2. flash 108 Kernel

3. Root with software you can find in this thread.

4. Flash the 158 kernel.

Done. No problems.
[Xperia Z1 General] HannibalSmith12:
I had that too. It's normal. You don't do update or downgrade your firmware. After flashing the 108 Kernel, just do the root and directly after that, flash the 157 kernel. That's it.

hey guys .. I tried to flash the first kernel and after rebooting screen stayed black .. I read everything and tried to flash stock kernel .. the problem ( i think is ) when I do the hard shut down and then pushed volume down (while connected to usb ) do geht in to flashmode .. flashtool recognices device but it shows he the whole time the info screen that I have to enable flashmode ... in the infobox (letterbox) it tells me when you are on a 2011 devie be sure to disable MTP mode ... I dont know what to do at this point ... thansk for youjr help !

Sony companion helped me to get back

tried again .. downloaded all files again .. installed all drivers again .. flashtool .. power off device, holding volume down button .. flashed .. restarting phone no screen !!?
[Xperia Z1 General] HannibalSmith12:
You must go to latest. 157. After that, flash 108 Kernel (shutdown phone, hold volume down and connect to pc) and root with the software you find in this thread. After that flash .157 kernel.

Well I just inherited a Z1...

A nice upgrade from my ZL (but I do love the small bezel of the ZL)

Anyway the Rogers 4.4.4 upgrade path ends at .108

I was able to root with just the root tool and bam I am good to go.

Thanks to OP and all the great devs that work on our Sony Xperia Z devices.

I lost my imei and network with the update on C6902. Is there any baseband ftf that can fix the issue?
[Xperia Z1 General] papperlapapp:
Oh, this is great!

Is the .108 and .157 kernel original SONY kernel or are these kernels changed in any way?

I ask, because some time back I got stability issues after rooting the original SONY firmware. Since after rooting the kernel should be the original, SONY kernel it made me suspicous what made my device unstable. Having root should not touch the way the device works.

I have a prob in win 8.1

I tried with many root tools, but there's an err that says "adb is out of date... killing"

I'm sure adb is installed, surely sure

On win 7 I hadn't any prob, but now unfortunately that's it

What can I do?

By the way, yesterday when I first time installed adb, I rooted, but after some times, I lost recovery

So I decided to flash again 157 CE and MEA, both

and flash kernel 108 and root

After a long time, it's been rooted

But after two or three reboots, I lost recovery

Do you honeys have any ideas? Any experiences on win 8.1?

If no, I think I should go to another place where has win 7 and bring my files there

Thanks
