I was prerooted (4.4.4)

1- I downloaded the rooted software: https://mega.co.nz/#!EJNUAT7A!2CapEz85qXaAnmtYo1TAaBjZmuEkCRD2QNlcY931z-E

2- Cleared cache before I flashed with TWRP

3- Flashed the zip

4- Cleared the cache again

5- Waited a while to boot up (Then I noticed some problems with the bootanimation)

6- Rebooted again and everything worked fine

But now my recovery is gone, and I am trying to find a way to reinstall it

Good Luck flashing :D
[Xperia Z1 General] noahvt:
The biggest part of the leak was caused by the screen on/off animations, why do you think these animations are not there in this update? To fix the issue!
[Xperia Z1 General] t1mman:
Is there any way to root from a stock rom?
[Xperia Z1 General] mischa_martin:
It actually isn't really fixed.

Got some launcher redraws and walkman got kicked out of memory while playing music several times :D

[Xperia Z1 General] berkaytunali:
Exactly, while i am writing these sentences my music has stopped, btw which firmware youbare on?
[Xperia Z1 General] mo120697:

Or any other way to root...

thanks:)

Prerooted TFT? Any way...prerooted .zip but I stand on cm12 because no exposed functionally in lollipop.
[Xperia Z1 General] ralph97:
At the moment I don't think there is another way
[Xperia Z1 General] gauravbhakuni90:
Q

There are two-way to get root on the lollipop.

1 flash the firmware then install dual recovery in dual recovery select option 3

After dual recovery installed go to twrp and flash supersu zip.DO MOT FORGET TO ENABLE USB DEBUGGING UNDER DEVELOPER OPTION

2. First download supersu zip and dual locked recovery latest.

Now search for prf creator, this amazing tool is fool proof and best of all it gives you pre rooted rom with dual recovery installed. And with a flashable zip if you are in kitkat with recovery flash this

Battery life

Anyone have the same problem? It seems to me that lollipop has a shorter battery life than kitkat. See screenshots.
[Xperia Z1 General] mo120697:
same problem for me, thought just on cm12 battery life is bad, but seems to be on lollipop generally...

---------- Post added at 07:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:24 PM ----------

short question; can i install pre rooted firmware and after that relock bl and restore drm keys and keep root?:) thanks:)
[Xperia Z1 General] noahvt:
Source code got pushed today! Devs you can start developing ;)
[Xperia Z1 General] kira123:
​

Well that doesn't make sense at all. Lollipop is supposed to extend battery life because of project Volta. I guess Sony didn't polish their work.

On your question, I don't know the prerequisites but why not try it just have a nandroid back up.
[Xperia Z1 General] dnzdeniz:
Still same battery performance with the kitkat for me. I am still getting high idle time and screen-on times.

Xperia Z1 C6903 Rooting Lollipop

Hi there,

I'm new here and need help in rooting lollipop.

i was using kitkat 4.4.4 rooted it with flashtool. updated to lollipop using sony pc companion yesterday.

can somebody suggest the procedure to root lollipop aswell please?
[Xperia Z1 General] cpl593h:
Still no OTA here in Belgium.

Could it be because I have an unbranded C6903 R1C model (I think I bought mine from a batch that came from Poland, go figure), since all the OTA activity I notice here seems to be carrier-dependant?

How does Sony push the OTA's for unbranded phones? It looks like they are the minority here.
[Xperia Z1 General] bosas200:
Strange how branded ones get updates faster then unbranded. In europe release is very slow

[Xperia Z1 General] mitch1974:
I know what you mean, I've got a UK unbranded and I remember it was one of the last ones to get the previous update.

[Xperia Z1 General] MrCrix:
I hate to be the one asking easy questions, but can I safely flash it over a custom firmware of KitKat or do I need to revert back to an original ROM?
[Xperia Z1 General] mo120697:
If custom firmware means stock based custom Rom you need to make a clean Install.

But I recommend clean install anyway, cause for me this made a big difference in battery performance and so on

Man if I only left messaging and telephone what's the point on having a smartphone? Better stay with a nokia 3310, do not you think?

Of course I use another apps... I use a lot of Whatsapp, Facebook, Instagram, Chrome, YouTube, Tapatalk, take some pictures and play some music.

If you need apps that I have in my script you can delete the corresponding line in the updater-script. But a lot of that apps you can find it on PlayStore

Last Statement

So, i know i made a little review in this thread but now i am really disappointed.

Going back to kitkat for now.

battery life is more bad than kitkat, even after clean install and a few charging circles.

Stamina mode is buggy (wifi and data wont turn off when screen is off)

ultra stamina cant be activated after first activation.

memory leak is terrible! kicks music out (spotify), home screen reloadings

-> xposed is no solution because it is causing bootloops after a few days.

60fps recording isnt working

xloud is removed, and clear audio is buggy and sounds crappy on Lollipop

for most people these are maybe just little bugs, but for me it makes this nice os unusable....really sad about this...

best regards, Mo
[Xperia Z1 General] kira123:
Would it be the same if I just turn those apps to user apps instead of system app via titanium back up and then greenify them.

[Xperia Z1 General] Rebel2k:
Memory management is really bad with that new release... I can't listen to any podcast without the app is killed every two minutes... Such a shame... That never happened to me before Lollipop. The phone now lags as hell. And I continously have 400 MB free!

[Xperia Z1 General] hasn4179:
no, i dont think root will be available from day 1, it may be more like after a month or more, dont you remember that even for nexus 6, they took some time to find the backdoor?

even xposed was almost buried for lollipop when suddenly, a miracle happened :p

You have a C6906 with a Lollipop Rooted rom?
[Xperia Z1 General] ExtraBasher:
Indeed I do; stock and pre-rooted.
[Xperia Z1 General] t1mman:
Could you explain to me how you did it?

Thanks!!
[Xperia Z1 General] ExtraBasher:
I've tried a couple of methods, all to the same end point.

* Installing a pre-rooted 5.0.2 stock ROM through TWRP, where that recovery was installed while I was on 4.4.4.

* Flashing a pre-rooted FTF through Flashtool.

* I suppose the other way I could think of doing this is installing a stock 5.0.2 FTF, installing recovery then flashing a pre-rooted stock ROM, or just rooting the stock FTF once flashed.

EDIT: Getting my information straight for the masses.

I don't take notes as I go and do these things, but I believe these methods to be correct in their simplicity. Hope that helps!
[Xperia Z1 General] Kshitiz.gautam:
Can u explain the 3rd one a little more...How to install recovery on a stock 5.0.2 FTF ?? I searched around, and most users saying to roll back to kitkak first to install Recovery.

[Xperia Z1 General] ExtraBasher:
And that majority of users would be right because it will work, but it's more lengthy to do.

so from what I read here : the lollipop update is actually a downgrade in several areas, biggest downgrade is the battery life.

I guess I will stick to kitkat official rom.
