Steps For Rooting Xperia Z1 C6902/C6903 14.5.A.0.242 Firmware

1. Downgrade to .108 / .157 Firmware and Root It

If you have already updated your smartphone to Android 5.0.2 Lollipop, then you have to downgrade your device to KitKat OS and Root it.

Use this guide to Install .108 firmware.

Root using this guide.

Now Install XZ Dual Recovery.

Now phone is rooted, USB Debugging must be enabled.

Download latest installer for Xperia Z1 from here. (Z1-lockeddualrecovery2.8.10-RELEASE.installer.zip)

Connect phone to PC using OEM date cable and run install.bat.

It will install the custom recovery.

Now work here is done. Lets move on to next step.

2. Root and Install Recovery on Z1 C6902/C6903 5.0.2 Lollipop Firmware

Custom recovery was installed in the first step.

The pre-rooted firmware was created and copied to phone in next step.

Now you have to turn off phone.

Turn it on again and press volume up or down repeatedly to enter custom recovery.

Click on install and locate the folder where you placed the flashable zip earlier.

Tap on it and install it.

Now reboot the phone.

If phone is still connected to PC via USB cable, disconnect it.

Now go back to the .242 ftf you downloaded in second step and copy it to /flashtool/fimrwares

Open flashtool and click on lightning icon in the top left.

Click on it and click on flashmode.

Select the .242 firmware.

In the right bar, in the exclude options, exclude System only. It means that untick System only there. Leave every other options as it is (See the Picture).

While flashtool prepares the software for flashing, turn off your phone.

Keep the volume down button pressed and connect it to PC via USB cable.

The button must be pressed during it.

The phone will enter flashmode.

Flashtool will automatically detect it and start flashing.

After flashing phone will reboot and you will be done...

thanks to 'Hayder Ameen'.....

I think this guide for Unlockbootloader only.

You just copied and pasted the text from this page:

And you did that without all the instructions, without any links to the mentioned guides and without proof-reading it to make sure it made any sense...

Seriously...

Hey bro, I just want to know if this one is for C6903 only or what? How about C6902. The instruction says C6902/C6903 but the Mega file is C6903??

Appreciate your work!!!

if you don't, are you certain you're not just a slower typer than me?

if you don't, what ROM are you on?

I'm having issues with my D800 where regularly it confuses fast typing as a Swype. On the stock ROM. After a factory reset. Same thing with Google Keyboard, albeit slightly less frequently.

This is bugging me to no end.

i just flashed sky dragon 4.0 and now I'm stuck in a boot loop. but its not a normal boot loop, at least i think. it shows the lg screen, then it shows the verizon screen and after that it shows the installation screen for a few seconds. after that it just goes straight back to the lg screen and starts the whole process over again.

I've tried re flashing the rom but it doesn't do anything

any suggestions?
[Verizon LG G3] bweN diorD:
flash with kdz or tot and try skydragon again, seems like something went wrong.

After i unroot and update to lolipop i discovered that all photos out with black spot i tried to clean lens but no use

What i can do ?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asakurato:
So the question is not about how to unlock bootloader, but rather it's consequences. We had a debate in a facebook group, whether does or doesn't unlocking bootloader also limits camera functions (as it is on Z3 I believe) as well as Gracenote and Bravia engine (by wiping TA partition and deleting DRM keys). So is it true or not? And if it is, is there way to retain full camera functions after unlocking?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LaurynasVP:
Yes, unlocking bootloader you will erase your DRM keys, therefore Bravia Engine and some other functions (camera, and some other) won't work anymore. But you can take your Ta-Partition backup to revert your DRM keys. Somewhere on this forum is MOD, which enables BE and other functions. Just check up for it in MODS category (in this forum). By the way, as far as I know, that mod applies only on 4.4.4, I guess
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asakurato:
I know about that mod, and it works on LP too, but the as I guessed the procedure has to be done every time you want to flash new rom, which is not very convenient for me, as I change them frequently

Hi all,

I currently run a host of servers from linux to windows, off all types.

I currently host an Exchange for my friends and I, off my domain, so we can all use Push Mail, Outlook via HTTPS, OWA...etc

Wondering if anyone would be interested... I know there are a few other offers out there...

Need to temperature check a few bits:

What would you class as an acceptable storage limit? i.e 5gb.

Would you mind paying/donating? Dont mind / mind

If you answered dont mind, would you prefer one off or monthly?

Would you _have_ to have exchange 2007 or happy to stay with stable 2003 for the time being..

Cheers all (and by no means am I trying to encrouch on anyone else's patch) :P

BTW all servers hosted in the UK, and within a secure datacentre.

Either reply here or PM :P

Hello, I updated my htc one x to the latest stock firmwate. Touch screen doesn't work, though volume and power buttons work. I dont have s-off, super cid and unrooted. htcdev website says it's impossibly to unlock bootloader and shows me mid 160. Is it a deadlock? Can anything be done? thanks
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] izak1982:
Use rumruner

You need "weaksauce" for temporary root your device and use "Rumrunner S-off", activate adb in your device, conect to your pc (asuming you have the drivers installed for adb), then execute Rumrunner S-off in your computer with the device connected,

OPEN WEAKSAUCE UNTIL IT SAYS "ROOTED", OPEN WEAKSAUCE FAST EVERY TIME THE PHONE REBOOT

THEN USE THE SUPERCID METHOD FOR UNLOCK THE BOOTLOADER

INSTALL RECOVERY VIA ADB

BACKUP YOUR PHONE AND INSTALL ANY ROM YOU WANT
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] linzoed:
Thanks for the reply, but if i understood correctly,weaksauce is an apk application. How can i install it without adb and not working touch screen?

I gave this a shot. Ended up bootlooping. I then, stupidly, realized OP hadn't noted this worked with Lollipop.

Derps. Derps all around. Thank you for your effort though!
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tx_dbs_tx:
I will download the latest lollipop tar for the Sprint Note Edge and extract the stock files and redo the mod one last time. I had previously used files that users pulled from their devices which apparently are not consistent nor the correct version. From now on I will source the files myself. Sorry for the issues. I will make a new mod soon and reupload. At that point if it fails then there are other reasons beyond my control and I will close this thread. Keep your fingers crossed.

The first impact was not bad. Probably the performance are not the top with kitkat 4.4.4, battery seems ti be poor in terms of screen on time and capacity. Good news is that on the elephone forum is available original firmware, new custom rom flyme 4.2 and philz touch recovery.

Thanks for the reviews. I have seen on the Elephone P3000s 3GB page (http://www.elephone.hk/P3000S-6752.html) that there is no NFC included in first batch ( NFC: Support (The second batch os P3000s will pack NFC) / NFC:support（100,000 pieces of P3000s were sent out in April don't support NFC.）) . How the NFC supporting devices can be identified? Is it only a SW/driver issue or hardware topic? Thx and br
[Device Reviews and Information] megthebest:
Nfc is an hardware topic, near micro sd slot on the rear, you must have two pins that connects to the rear cover with nfc antenna on it.
[Device Reviews and Information] grenness:
I have one of those non-NFC phones (don't care too much about NFC, and asked elephone.cc to send me one from the first batch to get it quicker).

My impressions after using it for almost two weeks:

Speed, smoothness is good, probably thanks to the CPU, GPU and 3GB Ram.

The main SIM card slot was too tight from the factory to insert a full size SIM card with perforated edges (so that I can pop out a micro sim size SIM) so the SIM card broke when I tried to force it into the slot.

I then got a new SIM card (thankfully I share offices with my mobile network provider...) and I first used a small tweezer to bend open the SIM card slot a bit while gently pushing in the SIM card.

That worked.

I'm not very impressed with the battery life, but maybe I'm asking for too much?

Today it's been running 10,5 hours on battery with normal use, it's now down to 6% battery level.

Maybe that's ok, I don't know.

The biggest problem is that I feel the wifi/bluetooth radio is unstable.

I got myself the new, very nice LG Urbane smartwatch 5 days ago, but it looses contact with the phone all the time so I don't get any notifications from the phone, and can't interact like placing calls etc.

I often also notice that even though the wifi icon in the top bar implies that it has almost a full wifi signal, the wifi connection is actually lost, and I have experienced several times that I'm not able to disconnect/reconnect but have to reboot the phone in order to get everything working again.

It would be good to hear from other owners, if they experience any of this or if I should first try a factory reset (I did that as soon as I received it though, as I always do when I buy a new phone/tablet), or an alternative ROM, before I start the possibly dreaded process of trying to get elephone.cc to send me a replacement.

[Device Reviews and Information] klaymeb:
I agree with your post grenness

I've had mine since it came out and purchased it from Gearbest, to replace my HTC One M7 that I couldn't relash properly.

I've only been usiing mine on Wifi with WhatsApp and gaming for the first few few weeks to get used to it.

The Wifi is weak, It cuts out quite a bit... which is real annoying when I use phone with Wifi at home.

I couldn't ge the SIM 1 Card to fit either so I just put it in the MicroSIM slot.

As for the battery I probably have too many Apps that use a lot of processing power, But I need to run it completely flat to see how long it will last.

Another thing I found is that if you do want NFC there is backcover available on Aliexpress(probably wrong spelling) that allows you to enable it. which I might get when I purchase a Glass Screen protector and Case.
[Device Reviews and Information] flosith:
Thought Id share my impressions on this phone.

First of all, I know Elephone.cc is not Elephone's oficial store as they pretend but do not order from them, seriously dont. They dont respond to support emails, Took them a week to send the phone and they sent just the phone, without the extra batery, glass screen protector and leather case, so thats $30 thrown away because they are reluctant to offer the refund for the parts they didnt send.

About the phone:

Smooth indeed, it moves nice, very nice, is fast but that is a given with the specs.

GSM reception is the worst, very very very bad, I get no signal at all in places I used to get full signal with my previous phone (a Lenovo S939)

The battery - Oh the battery, omg, I think that if I could put 2 2A batteries in it would last longer, very bad battery life, doesnt last 12 hours with mobile data one and very little use, If I use it like I used my previous phone (extremly moderate) I need to charge it every 5-6h, which is very inconvenient because Im not allways near a power source.

The fingerprint thingy, while it does work in just the right angle is useless, you have to slide my finger 10 times to scan once, I didnt even manage to set a fingerprint because it must scan it like 7 times.

The autorotate is crazy, allways goes to landscape even if you just tilt the phone a bit, and then you must turn it 4-5 times to go back to portrait, so you have to disable it otherwise you cant use the phone.

The phone is not usable while charging because the touchscreen goes nuts.

The camera :)) .My very old Nokia n73 takes way better pictures that this, even my previous phone which has a lower res camera is waay better than this one (also Congrats on the false advertising for the camera - not sony and not 13mpx).

I dont think I just got a bad phone from factory, because I saw more people having issues like mine. And this is their top model at this moment with the p7000 not relesead yet.

I very much regret for purhasing this gadget (not phone cause it cant be used as one) so do yourself a favor and dont purchase any Elephone, I doubt they have any good models.

[Device Reviews and Information] Prettygrim:
hi. tnx for the reply and info.

glad you got Kingo to work. unfortunately, it wont for me. i had tried that along with iroot and root genius. i cant get anything to work. i only found out when quickboot failed and i then checked with root checker. i wonder why i cant get the phone to root again?

did you check with root checker to make sure, because kingoroot and iroot both told me i had root but root checker said i hadn't. assuming root checker is correct, i cant get root back and i cant use quickboot, which basically verifies no root achieved
[Device Reviews and Information] grenness:
Crap, I also had the OTA update earlier today and went ahead and installed it.

Bye, bye, root.

Oh well, anyone notice any improvements to the phone after the update?

On the crappy camera, take a look at this photo taken outside in partly overcast weather (which is supposed to be good for photographing), notice how the green colors are completely useless in the right part of the picture? And how unclear everything is?

I'm telling you, this camera sucks...

The new version of OTA has root function. That means if you update OTA, your phone will be rooted automatically.

You can use only stock 4.4.4 that you can find on needrom or elephone forum, or flyme 4.2 based firmwares, directly ported from meizu m1 note and installable via custom recovery (i have created two custom recovery and they are on needrom too).
[Device Reviews and Information] mrsim:
thanks for the answer i already downloaded both recoveries and am currently using phils...but having these seem kinda pointless unless there are any roms available...still won't have the device for long will be giving it to my nephew soon was just hoping to improve it before i do...so from what i have read over on that mess that is the elephone forum this device will never see an update so it's down to developers to get something done...and with this devices serious unpopularity that does not look likely either...that's a shame...so we are left with basicly a launcher from playstore and that's it...already ran xposed on it but it kept throwing up anti alyunOS warnings and since adding phils recovery google play has decided not to connect even though i am using wifi...very odd will try the other recovery and see if that has the same issue

p.s. the recovery didn't survive a reboot it's back to stock...???
[Device Reviews and Information] megthebest:
Don't worry about message from xposed about incompatibility, it's ok and it works well.

About recovery, have you installed via rashr, flashify? Or via flashtool? This to understand well, because my philz survive to reboot
