Easier way of doing this...install the Kingroot, and follow instructions to Replace KingUser with SuperUser up to point 2, then download Root Browser, and browse to the folder in question and open the file yourself. Tested and works perfect.

after gettig root access, how do i install recovery?
[Xperia Z1 General] newwave19:
Then you didn't have root with kingroot first. For binary, follow point 6 of above.....all terminal is for is to install the file, my suggestion is just doing it manually
[Xperia Z1 General] ElPocho796:
I solved. I had put the folder mrw in the external sd, this was the problem.

How do I install recovery?
[Xperia Z1 General] ferbuffer:
My phone reboot after typing sh /sdcard/mrw/root.sh

Steps :

Send the extracted folder "mrw" to the internal storage of your device and make sure that this folder contains 6 files

Open Terminal emulator and type :

Su

Allow root permission

Type :

sh /sdcard/mrw/root.sh

It might display some error, at the end it will launch supersu or open supersu manually.

Update su binary normal, then reboot.

for anyone interested in root and recoveries (and for those who don't mind keeping kinguser)..

BEST PROCESS TO GET ROOT + RECOVERY WITH .270 FW:

- Download Kingroot from kingroot.net;

- Root your z1 with the app, it will also install kinguser;

- In kinguser, allow root access to adb software;

- Use XZDualRecovery installer from Nut's (2.8.15) [http://nut.xperia-files.com/], choose method 1 (rooted + supersu), when it

asks to grant root permission on your phone just press a key (you already did in the previous step, because you don't have

SuperSu installed so it wouldn't work!)

- Wait for the installer to finish, then, well.. "enjoy the recoveries" hahah

How do I install Xposed Framework?
[Xperia Z1 General] Giozer:
So if I wanted to install the recovery, I should first install it and then replace with Kinguser with SuperSU?

Z1-lockeddualrecovery2.8.15-RELEASE.installer.zip

The correct recovery for Zperia Z1 is this?

How do you install?

Thank you.
[Xperia Z1 General] newwave19:
I've been struggling with the Xposed framework too....beginning to think its not possible on .270 yet
[Xperia Z1 General] serqeftin:
you don't need replace supersu for recovery, you can install 2.8.15 after root (sorry for my english).
[Xperia Z1 General] Giozer:
Z1-lockeddualrecovery2.8.15-RELEASE.installer.zip? or flashable.zip?

How can install it?

If not then I need to replace Kinguser SuperSU with, I'll always have my phone with Kinguser and not SuperSU?

Kinguser is safe?

Thank you.
[Xperia Z1 General] khaludi:
you gotta choose "Z1-lockeddualrecovery2.8.15-RELEASE.installer.zip" make sure that you have the sony pc companion installed on your Computer and that pc companion does recognise it. than just click install.bat and choose Option 1. I would recommend you to use SuperSU cause it's more common.
[Xperia Z1 General] Giozer:
Excuse me, but I'm not highly experienced.

Can you please explain the procedure step by step?

How do I install the recovery?

I must extract the ZIP file on my PC, and after I have to connect the PC to the Z1, media transfer mode (MTP) or mass storage class (MSC) on with activated USB debugging?

About Kinguser and SuperSU, you advise me to use SuperSU.

But I have to uninstall Kinguser and install SuperSU? Or I have to follow the "Replace with KingUser SuperSU" explained in this thread?

Thank you and sorry for my English.
[Xperia Z1 General] serqeftin:
- kinguser is safe? I dont know but I using now

- you don't need uninstall kinguser, you can install nut recovery 2.8.15 over kinguser

- extract files into zip to PC, then run "install.bat" choose (1) mean SuperSU in options, device restarting after install and you have recovery.

(sorry for my english)
[Xperia Z1 General] ptoner:
No matter what. I couldn't get dual recovery to load. Installed adb and made sure the drivers where installed also. Can't find the directories for installing. Any advice?
[Xperia Z1 General] khaludi:
exactly like serqeftin said. Run the install.bat file and choose option 1. I had the problem that the installer didn't recognise my phone at first. It just said that its waitig for connection. So after doing some research it turned out that i didn't install the pc companion first. So like i previously said: First make sure that you've got pc companion installed and let your phone be detected by the companion. After that start the install.bat file. That's how it worked for me ;)
[Xperia Z1 General] gqukyo:
I had to uninstall Bitdefender for it to work so for those who have those types of protection apps, disable and or uninstall those first. First try with BD uninstalled and kingroot worked perfectly.
[Xperia Z1 General] Giozer:
Hello.

If I want to do the Root of the Z1 with KingRoot and install the DualRecovery, this is the correct procedure?

1) Root with KingRoot,

2) Install DualRecovery (XZDualRecovery installer from Nut's 2.8.15),

3) Replace with KingUser SuperUser (with Terminal Emulator).

Thank you.

[Xperia Z1 General] Giozer:
Hello.

I did the Root with KingRoot. But despite having correctly followed the instructions of text (http://www.waledacdroid.com/2015/05/how-to-root-sony-xperia-z1-running.html)

and video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6IgvVRt3ak)

at the end of the procedure I have the Root but I can not replace Kinguser with SuperSU (Chainfire). I get a message saying that I haven't SuperSu installed, and then non asks me then to update binary. So I lose Root.

I then repeats the procedure for the root, but I haven't replaced with KingUser SuperSu.

I also installed correctly DualRecovery.

How can I replace Kinguser with SuperSu?

I make some error or there is an alternative procedure?

Thank you.
[Xperia Z1 General] xperiaz1s:
Careful with this root method, I had a similar experience to the quoted poster, my phone rebooted and is now stuck in a boot loop. Ill post a fix if I find one but I cant get the phone to do anything but show the Xperia/Sony Logo then reboots.
[Xperia Z1 General] Giozer:
I solved the problem.

Instead of downloading the tool to remove and replace with KingUser SuperSU from the link on this web page (http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z1/general/root-xperia-running-lollipop-lb- ubl-t3123893), I did download from this page (http://www.w0lfdroid.com/2015/05/How-to-Remove-Replace-KingUser-KingRoot-with-SuperSU.html).

This system has worked well. So I now have the Root (verified with Root Checker), I no longer KingRoot and KingUser, I instead SuperSU.

Allright.
[Xperia Z1 General] xperiaz1s:
Im not sure what I did wrong to get a bootloop, but I ran Sony PC Companion and it fixed my issue. It also wiped all my data so be warned of this before you try. It just does a factory reset to the new release of lollypop.

Pc Companion > Support Zone > Phone/Tablet Software Update (Click Start) > Click the blue hypertext "repair my phone / tablet.

King Root was run again, tested with root checker, this time ill do some more research so I dont have the same problem. Hope this helps anyone with their phone in he Sony/Xperia logo boot loop

I have a rooted KK right now would it be best to uninstall Superuser before I update to LP using PC - then carry out this procedure
[Xperia Z1 General] Geoffxx:
tried this and it didn't work or rather the second part didn't replacing kingroot with supersu, what seems to happen is that supersu needs root to run it's updating binaries but once you run the script in terminal emulator the first thing it does is disable kingroot so supersu cannot complete it's task

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now To Replace KingUser with SuperSU

before starting the above make sure to go into settings/apps/running and force stop kinguser then it will work flawlessly

I have a Sony Xperia Z1 with Androids 5.0.2 and I have done with the root KingRoot and replacing KingUser with SuperSU. Installed DualRecovery (NUT).

So I flashed ROM DstrikerZ1 Kai.

Today I can update with Lollipop version 5.1.1 (14.6.A.0.368) with PC Companion.

The update will make me lose Root and Recovey?

I can get after the Root with the same method (KingRoot and replacing KingUser with SuperSU) and reinstall the Dual Recovery?

Thank you for your answer.

I am in Italy. The firmware pre-rooted that you propose is customized SG (Singapore). I can use it without problems in Italy?

Prerooted firmware overwrites the current one? I have to do some wipe?

Xposed modules that currently I use continue to function, or you advise me to uninstall and then reinstall them?

Thank you.
[Xperia Z1 General] jamespmi:
Sure you can

You'd better wipe nothing if you want to keep your data and app settings

Nope. Just make sure you update Xposed to at least V74
[Xperia Z1 General] Giozer:
About Xposed, before installing the new prerooted firmware, I have to uninstall the current version of Xposed installer? I must also uninstall the modules Xposed?

Thank you.
[Xperia Z1 General] jamespmi:
I would always choose a clean install. You never know if the modules are made available or updated for 5.1.1
[Xperia Z1 General] KouenHasuki:
Yea, I lost root in the upgrade to 5.1.1 but I can deal with it for a bit till there is a root method for this version.

The method to install a recovery system seems like a lot of hassle as from what I can tell (I am a new Z1 owner) I have to make a backup of my DRM Keys with TA, unlock the bootloader (and in that jump through a few of there hoops), downgrade to KitKat, Root it, Flash the dual recovery, Restore my DRM Keys, Upgrade again with a different packaged zip that is pre rooted.

I am hoping that someone works out a way to do all this without spending the good part of an afternoon on it jumping through hoops :P
[Xperia Z1 General] jamespmi:
Much easier than that... just downgrade to KK and run the DualRecover Installer "Z1-lockeddualrecovery2.8.21-RELEASE.installer.zip", it includes the root script...

Read the tutorials, as you have to make sure you installed ADB drivers, enable USB debugging etc...

Once you are able to enter Recovery just flash a Pre-Rooted LL 5.1.1
[Xperia Z1 General] KouenHasuki:
I'm still holding hope someone works out how to on 5.1.1 so there is a lot less hassle :P not that I am unfamiliar to doing this sort of stuff but I always hold hope people are looking for easier and more efficient solutions
[Xperia Z1 General] jamespmi:
PIE (position-independent executables) Security has been reinforced under LL 5.1 ... Not sure this will ever happen...
[Xperia Z1 General] xasbo:
Yeah, your first rooted ROM is a little more work, but not that bad. You're making it more complicated by unlocking the bootloader, which is only necessary if you want to run unsigned kernels.

1) Flash a 5.0.x FTF.

2) One-click root.

3) Install XZDR.

4) Use custom recovery to flash a pre-rooted 5.1.1 zip. It looks like there's one for most models available now, and if it's not there they're very easy to make.

After you've already got root + XZDR, upgrading in the future is just step 4.
[Xperia Z1 General] KouenHasuki:
Good news, I decided to do it and I have now got the Dual Recovery installed, I'm rooted and on 5.1.1!

Bad news, took me a fair bit of time since when I rolled back to 5.0.2 I had to then backup and factory reset (System claimed it had no storage) then trying to install the dual recovery was a pain. It doesn't work on Windows 10 and spent far too long trying to work out why then tried on my Windows 7 AMD A10 PC and it went OK from then on

[Xperia Z1 General] nickcaper:
I have no idea why you guys want to replace kinguser with superuser. I dont see any issues with kinguser, but I did just root the phone (c6916) and have absolutely NO issues at all. I even have dual boot!

Im backing up the entire phone and customizing it to my liking, each time backing it up it case i screw up something and need to restore it.

Here is what I did. its super simple.

I actually did a fresh install using a FTF file for my specific phone. I used the flashtool and flashed the phone. with C6916_14.5.B.0.236_T-mobile_US.ftf

THEN

......goto Settings => About phone => Click 7 times on android build number to unlock developer options

.....goto settings, developer options then enable

......goto security, check on Unknown sources to be enabled

Now you can root the phone!

1)Root with kingroot 4.1.0 apk by placing apk on the phones internal storage or from a usb memory stick or a sdcard. Then find the app on the phone after you installed it and click on the app. you will need to connect to wifi if no cell service is available. after net access is available and app is open, click on "try to root" wait for a while and watch the app work. when it is done rooting it should say successful.

reboot.

Now install Recovery!

2)Install Recovery Z1 Locked Bootloader 2.8.21 by connecting phone to usb port. the phone will ask what mode of usb you want to be in, choose MTP. then click on the Z1 locked dual recovery folder in your pc, choose to click on install.bat file. Choose option 1 to start root process then look on your phone to see a pop up to accept. Then after accepting, you will also accept another pop up to allow root privileges to occur. The pc window for the z1 recovery program will say for you to press any key to continue. do so by pressing any key on your keyboard. the phone will reboot into recovery!

When the phone is in recovery you can of course reboot the phone to use it as normal.

The phone is rooted!

To get into recovery mode, power the phone off. When you power it back on, hold the volume button down when the LED comes on and when it also vibrates, till you see TWRP recovery. FOR CWM recovery just do the same thing but hold the volume up!

If you ever get a freeze on a screen and cant turn the phone off or cant turn it on, try holding the power button down while holding the volume button up at the same time.. It will vibrate allot and BAM! It will reboot!

This is super simple and my phone is a C6916.. I have no idea if it will work this way for other models.
