[Xperia Z1 Android Development] الفلسطيني:
thanks alot boss

Thank you so much

Just i wanna ask

Just whip cache only before flash and after flash

No need to whip all?!

Thanks again
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] gauravbhakuni90:
HI is this for all models or only specific model like C6902 /3/06 etc
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] NexusGTS:
just whipe cache before and after if you have installed official 4.4.4 . If you have another rom you need to do a full whipe .

It is only for c6903 .
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] stalker_dj:
I have 6902=( Can you share tutorial u used to create pre-rooted firmware
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] LeParkour012:
Question. I already have 5.0.2. Can I just flash the recovery and flash SuperSU to get root access? If yes, where can I find the recovery?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] NexusGTS:
i dont know if the 5.0.2 can be rooted yet . You will find the recovery here in the forum . I am on the phone now and is hard to find it because my connecsion is slow :(
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] LeParkour012:
5.0.2 is the same version as the firmware you're using lol. I'm basically using the same firmware.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] NexusGTS:
The firmware here is pre-rooted . I didn't root the firmware after i installed it . After instalation i just installed the recovery if you want root "out of the box" go back to kitkat root the phone install a recovery flash this 5.0.2 posted here and after that install again the recovery .
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] :
So I can just flash recovery (and SuperSU) and I'd already be rooted? I'm not using your pre-rooted firmware btw
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] slayer2333:
Do you mean to flash recovery right after we flash the ROM ? Or flash ROM reboot then install recovery from the PC installer ?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] zgomot:
Does xposed work?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] NexusGTS:
you need to root and the flashn the recovery . you could try to see if you can root it .

[MENTION=5637540]slayer2333[/MENTION] If you have a recovery and stock 4.4.4 do a cache whipe install this rom and the install again the recovery .

[MENTION=2523106]zgomot[/MENTION] i dont know i didn't test it .
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] :
How does one root? Sorry for asking a lot of questions.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] NexusGTS:
try rootkitxperia
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] h0tkey:
Couldn't even see SONY logo with MultiROM.

Though it was just an experimentation and I was aware of quite low chances. :)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] slayer2333:
I have a locked bootloader on 6906

First test: I was on iHacker 6.2 (based on FW .157, rooted and with dual recovery)

-Did wipe cache/dalvick

-Flashed Zip

-Flashed dual recovery

-Wiped Cache/dalvick again

-Reboot

Result:

Unrooted ROM, no home apk (only simple home working)

Second Test:

-Full Wipe

-flashed Zip

-Flashed Recovery

-Reboot

Working now with recovery as well (installed the latest from NUT).
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] :
Looks kinda outdated
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Aaron_035:
What recovery did you install, OP?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] ExtraBasher:
Looking forward to flashing this myself since I have the same model phone too.

No hiccups after the second flashing so far?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] NexusGTS:
i have installed this one : Z1-lockeddualrecovery2.8.9-RELEASE.installer . If you dont have root after install update it from google play .
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] noahvt:
Insta install...

Just spent a few hours trying to download the file on a slow connection, when I went to flash it it took 1 second to install and it said "completed" but no rom was installed :/ I've tried many recoveries and kernels

please help me :/ I can open the zip file on my computer and everything looks fine
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] ExtraBasher:
Good to hear! As for Xposed, perhapps I could direct you here. I have yet to try any of this myself as I'm still DL'ing the ROM and getting my phone backed-up.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] NexusGTS:
Use last version of recovery . This one is working fine on lollipop Z1-lockeddualrecovery2.8.9-RELEASE.installer .
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Aaron_035:
Well. I got it working fine, except having issues deleting system apps like the black hole live wallpaper. Thru titanium backup or ROM toolbox, it just keeps coming back everytime I restart the phone.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] noahvt:
Thanks! That actually worked... damn had to do loads of stuff to get the dualrecovery to boot

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] :
I don't think root works. Tried AdAway. Sure I'm able to allow root access to the app but it failed to apply the adblock
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] slayer2333:
The link you provided gives a working xpozed but DO NOT install Seraj Xperia Xpozed module (KK), it will cause a bootloop for now.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] :
Because KK stands for Kitkat and this is Lollipop
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] slayer2333:
I Know, i just wanted to give it a shot, i expected the worst to be a messed up UI which could be easily solved. But i did not expect a bootloop.

I managed to get the ROM installed using TWRP from ST Ultimate ROM

This recovery didn't work when I tried to flash it though! NUTs links are down also :(

Also how long was your first boot roughly? first boot, that took forever lol ;)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] NexusGTS:
You have the recovery link above and boot time about 2 min :)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Bartuus:
Pls answer in q&a thread
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] bhavinpatel95:
I did use the link provided, that failed upon flashing...
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] trahzebuck:
My way of installation:

- Be sure to use an actual recovery. I used TWRP 2.8.5.0 (the one which is flashed via fastboot)

- flash the prerooted zip

- flash latest Dual-Recovery from Nut.

- Reboot and enjoy.

Many thanks for creating and providing the zip!

Please upload it on any other hosts because I can't download from mega as my Internet is so slow 50kbps and I need to pause /resume the download when I want and I cant do that + the official mega app crash on my phone

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] johnblaze00:
anyone have a link to a working custom recovery that you can fastboot flash this thing with?

here is a google drive link if anyone wants it (hopefully OP is okay with me doing this...)

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] trahzebuck:
Of course I wiped everything system, data, cache

Of course I made a backup

Of course I copied the files to sd card....

The important message is to flash the recovery immediately after the rom .
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] :
Root didn't work at first. So I reflashed SuperSU and it's all good.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] schickel:
Something goes every time wrong...

I flashed successfully the ROM and recovery. Booting up and do the settings.

But why is my internal memory not recognized? In FileCommander I didn't see any files on internal memory and can't copy anything on it. Can't save any screenshots, nothing.

When I take a look with RootBrowser I get:

/sdcard -» empty

/sdcard1 -» this is my external SD card

/storage:

- emulated

- 0 -» empty

- legacy -» empty

- remote -» empty

- sdcard0 -» empty

- sdcard1 -» my external SD card

- usbdisk -» empty

My BIG question is:

Where is my internal memory?

What's going wrong?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] ayushman:
will it work on locked bootloader?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] trahzebuck:
Hi

I had no issues with storage. Everything was fine internal storage and ext sd.

Meanwhile I restored my last rom (PAC) cause I had a strange problem with bootloops if I rebooted without wiping cache.

But I think that was my fault. I heavily debloated the rom before restoring TB. I used Root Explorer therefore. Perhaps I corrupted them rom. :(

There will be a new try today or tomorrow as soon as I find some time. Yesterday I was almost unable to update apps via praystore (!). The connection was terrible slow.

Normally I need about 20 minutes to set up my environment. yesterday only the update of the preinstalled apps lasted almost 2 hours. :(

But again - no issues with storage...

Ah wait. Perhaps you should be aware that I was already on a Lollipop rom. The structure of storage seems to be different. I had to reinstall all data on IntSD after switching to Lollipop from KK.

Look or a folder on SD named "0" and check it. In my case there were all the files.... :)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] schickel:
I found my files on internal storage via pc. But this don't help me to see and use them with my phone. Ratlos bin.... I try the other way with cm12 and let's see if it's ok
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] trahzebuck:
Well I tried the "clean" way. Copied all the file to my PC. formatted intsd and the reinstalled all the files. Just to be save. :)

Host mi? :)

(Bavarian Joke only for insiders)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] noahvt:
I had the internal storage problem too! It is a permission error, after a few reboots it was suddenly gone for me.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] schickel:
ja freilich ;)

I formatted now in TWRP everything excluding sdcard1. Flashed CM12 and (sh*t), my FOTA recovery also gone. Flashed FOTA TWRP, flashed again this ROM AND DualRecovery. Booted and access to internal memory is ok. But recovery does not worked and I downloaded the latest dualrecovery from NUT 2.8.9 as installer and flashed this again. After reboot I have working recovery and working internal memory :)

So a Hund :D

So everything works normal, except the xposed framework.

So i installed it using the apk, and then i flash the zip file, (all these files are included on the xposed lollipop official thread)

after applying all the modules, and then i reboot my device, but now it stucks on bootloop :/
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Aaron_035:
I read it somewhere on the z2 forums, you need to have your phone deodexed to have xposed work.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Balaram12:
why it finished so fast?

and when reboot its still the old rom

im on ihackers btw
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] skytechja:
what if the rom was flashed but the recovery wasnt flashed right after?????

how do you get recovery installed ?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] schickel:
Then flash NUTs Z1-lockeddualrecovery2.8.10-RELEASE.installer.zip. Unzip and execute the start.bat or how it's named. Accept grant for SuperSu and don't forget to activate USB-debugging in developer options.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] NexusGTS:
Because you need to be on stock 4.4.4 not on some custom rom . If you are on a custom rom do a full whipe from recovery and then install the 5.0.2 zip

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Skolotaie:
Thanks for the Rom here are my personal experiences with it so far.

I Flashed it Over the Kai 5.0 Rom and used the CWm Touch Recovery wich worked perfect.

My Camera Works,Usb Tethering too and also all the other functions like Wlan and Gps.

Root also works fine for me.

Only the Walkman Player acts strange

Often after changing the track the Equalizer seems to stop working and the Sound gets really Horrible (i have the Sony MH750 In ear Headset)

The Walkman UI also tends to go crazy and Unplugging the Headset sometimes doesnt makes the Walkman switches to the Loudspeaker.

But everything else seems Okay.

And for those who wonder about the Performance.... It runs Extremely Fluid and in Antutu without any Mods it gets approx 38+k

LOVE IT :good:
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] NexusGTS:
Friends if the root is not fully working do a factory reset and it will work :D . I tested this and now i can use es file explorrer with full root acces :D

It's official stock - rooted. What mods would you expect? :p

Click on the Download - yes it's for C6903.

Perhaps you could at least tell a bit more what's happening. Error Message? Of if your device was nuked? :eek:
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] dyonissos:
The install process lasts a couple of seconds, that's all.

After that i, it won't boot, i need to restore a nandroid backup.

Nothing useful in the logs.

It's TWRP 2.8.4 multiboot.

Thanks!
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] trahzebuck:
[MENTION=2235304]dyonissos[/MENTION]: Did you check the download? Perhaps the zip is corrupted. Really no messages? None? Strange....

You could try another kernel / Recovery. The thread is full of similar issues. Use Sufu to find a solution.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] NexusGTS:
try other recovery without multiboot . I think that is the problem.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] dyonissos:
This is my feeling too.

What recovery should i try?

I tried flashing dual 2.8.10 but it didn't install.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] NexusGTS:
go back to stock 4.4.4 instal a kitkat ftf file with flashtool then root and install other recovery (i used nut dual recovery) and then flash the 5.0.2 from here over stock 4.4.4 do a factory reset from settings menu then install the latest recovery from nut and done :)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] shingers5:
I flashed with ihackers 6.2 but used philz and had no issues at all. Flash an advanced stock kernel with recovery then go into recovery and flash rom.

Sorry if this is a daft question, I am currently running [ROM][C69xx][.157][LB/UB]DstrikerZ1 Kai ROM 5.0 [Z3 meets MATERIAL DESIGN][19-Feb] Locked Bootloader. Is this "stock ROM" with not having new kernel etc so I can just flash this over the top through TWRP or do I have to find and flash a basic KK ROM then this?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] NexusGTS:
This is a stock based rom and if you flash 5.0.2 you have a big chance to get a lot of bugs because that rom has some mods that will be broken when you flash 5.0.2 . You should install a clean 4.4.4 and then update to 5.0.2
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] halfblack:

I had exactly the same issue. Reflashing SuperSU zip through recovery solved everything.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] dyonissos:
Seems it was a corrupted download.

Re-downloaded and successfully installed.

Root is working, but i have another issue.

Ended-up in a bootloop after installed xposed and enabled a couple of modules.

I thought it was because of xposed so i did a wipe and rebooted.

Re-configured everything except for xposed framework, did a nandroid backup and....... bootloop again.

The only thing i can think of is AdAway. Enabling it was the last thing i did on the device.

Anyone experienced similar issues?

Thanks!
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] trahzebuck:
download was corrupted? Yeah. As I told you...

Xposed isn't working properly with odexed rom. So you have to wait for deodexed roms or xposed updates.

Do yourself a favor and do some reading before flashing. It's an expensive device in your hands... ;)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] dyonissos:
I knew that, and i did it on my own risk.

However, the second bootloop didn't have anything to do with xposed. I didn't install it.

The only thing i did was to apply AdAway.

Anyone experienced issues with AdAway?

Thanks!

Late edit. Not related to AdAway.

As soon as i take a backup it ends up in the bootloop.

Reverting to 4.4.4 until i find a stable release.
