Second was using KingRoot, I wanted to root my Z1, but without success.

Can anyone help me with this please? Either using ADB or rooting my device?

Thank you very much.

I have Xperia Z1 C6903 5.1.1 (14.6.A.1.216)

Will I loose root if I update to the latest version (14.6.A.1.236) for Xperia Z1. Currently I am rooted using this method successfully.
[Xperia Z1 General] motorazrv3:
If you also have a custom recovery than you can flash a pre rooted zip for your phone. This way you won't loose root.

All other ways you will loose root and have to root again.
[Xperia Z1 General] Helgaiden:
worked fine on my Z1S C6916 on lollipop....now what? lol

edit: rebooted after replacing kinguser with superSU and appeared to have lost root

edit again: nevermind, phone was slow booting and ran root checker faster than SuperSU could respond. Lollipop memory leak, stoppppp

but the problem is that on last firmware doesn't work root granted and i have already super su but it can't replace ;)

Hope you found that space error ;)

kingroot not found
[Xperia Z1 General] OmegaRED^:
1. kingroot is not safe.

2. it has malware

3. why is this the only way to do this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

4. replacing kingrootSU has never worked.

5. new kingroot does not allow Super SU replacement.

6. i am so disappointed with the Z1 community as nothing makes sense when getting custom roms onto this thing.

nothing but a bunch of people trolling and lying

wasted hours on tutorials that don't work or are incomplete or obsolete.
[Xperia Z1 General] Toberius:
Hi to all, I looking for rooted my Z1 but reading this thread did read what is fake/trojan apk?

Are there any way to rooted using linux SO? I run gentoo and have installed adb, fastboot, etc.

I did sucessfully the TA backup, and now I wish to rooted, my phone is BL allowed: NO

[Xperia Z1 General] TheMidnightVinny:
Just worked

Only keep up upgrading links for softare updates.
[Xperia Z1 General] 小阿姨:
Nice method.

However, there are two things so important to add.

1) Use the appropriate version.

I recognized the link in the original posts no longer works.

Here are what you need to get it work.

Kingroot v4.1.0:

https://workupload.com/file/jZuh50eg

Replace_Kinguser_with_SuperSU-v1.2.zip:

https://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3333295

2) When you finish installing Kingroot, DO NOT reboot the device until Kingroot and Kinguser is removed and SuperSU is installed.

If you do, it will become a system app and will not be able to uninstall.

Also, I recommend to uninstall Kinguser before running the terminal commands.

If you do happen to reboot the device before kingroot is deleted, use the Software repair method with the Xperia Companion.

I have been struggling with removing Kingroot for the whole night trying to following the instruction.

Hope this help anyone.
[Xperia Z1 General] rajdude:
I just tried this and I can confirm with 99% surety that I was able to root my phone

and

replace kingroot with superSU using this particular method.

Why I say 99% and not 100% is that right after I finished this process .......I got a pop up advertisement (just like that kingroot does).

However after that one time.........I have been using the phone, rebooted it multiple times........no ads..........nothing which tells me that kingroot is still there.

So, thanks! BTW, this is on my ancient Z1c...running 5.1.1, BL unlocked, no custom recovery.

BTW, I did NOT what is being recommended here (I could not even find a way to do it, I just ran to terminal command) >>
[Xperia Z1 General] 小阿姨:
Which advertisement are you referring to? Been a long time, just could not recall it...

The uninstallation of Kingroot is a primary option within Kingroot app.

However, according to what you mentioned, we can confirm that Xperia gets tied with Kingroot occur mainly after a reboot and before a terminal command replacement regardless of the uninstallation process.

I mentioned it just to be safe and clean since this is the process I undergone when I root my C6916.
[Xperia Z1 General] red_fork:
What version of KingRoot did you use?
[Xperia Z1 General] Cogmo Pop:
I can't install Kingroot v4.1.0.. :confused:
[Xperia Z1 General] apaxtc:
after many attempts I managed to make full root system

1.using the method that is presented in the tutorial

2.recovery installations (twrp etc)

3.uninstall the old superSU

4.access recovery and make flash new superSU

5.voala ! you have complete admin rights and you can uninstall anything you want

Hello guys, lot time ago i have rooted my xperia z with 4.4.4 android version. After that i had changed buttons/fonts and now i dont have stock of them. The problem is that now i want to update to android lollipop, and i dont have idea what to do. I dont know did i need to unroot firstly then update, or just update. But if i need unroot, did these applied things like changed fonts/buttons apearance did not cause some bugs,bricks without changing back them to stock and unrooting? Becouse these functions need root, and i want to unroot without changing them to stock, becouse i dont have idea where i can get them. Damn... Its madness, i dont know what to do now and what to do firstly :D sorry about my terrible english skills, and also i am big noob here as you can see. I hope you guys understand what i want to say, i really need help!!!!!!

What Xperia Z do you have? C6602, C66603?

Second, is OTA avaiable for you country?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nima_m_falahy:
Hi bro

to install LP you dont need change ane thing in your current rom

to flash LP every thing will be wiped (all data and phone partition get formated ) but you just have to be aware your phone is LB or UN: if your phone bootloader is unlocked then your not able to update via xperia update

wene ever flash roms via flashtool is preference:good:
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KornM:
Thanks buddy :) i dont have custom rom, unlocked bootloader, just rooted and thats it, without unlocking. So... did i can update lollipop? And the thing about buttons/fonts is that what i mean

Did after update will be everythink clear? Did these changed buttons will not cause bugs?

I have changed them with SoftKeyZ app, who require root, and i dont have stock buttons

To change back. And another question, did i need to unroot before apply android 5 lollipop? I have firmware update of it, so i need just apply it, but i am scarred.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KornM:
yes, xperia z c6603. And what OTA means?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aaronkatrini:
OTA - Over The Air - Type of update, means you download it directly on your phone and it updates, without the need of PC.

Recommended: Backup everything - Clean Install (via pc companion or flashtool) - install whatever you want :)

Second - chances of bricking by just updating to lollipop in your case are minimal, however backup first so you can restore in case of a disaster.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KornM:
yeah, i updated to lollipop already with PC :) it looks amazing! now i must root again yes? :)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aaronkatrini:
Yes, of course , with an unlocked bootloader it is really easy.

With a locked bootloader however the only possible way is to root it with Kingroot (chinese app), and then replace it with SuperSu.

Have fun!

Thanks buddy! You helped me :)

I have the Verizon flavor and passed on the upgrade due to my experience on my lg g2. My battery life went all to hell so i rolled back to kitkat and am quite happy to stay there. I'm curious as to how the upgrade is working for you on this device.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mach01:
I personally love CM12.1 right now. It very (as in never) rarely crashes and for some reasons, apps seems to be more stable than on other roms. I have not experienced any battery issues and it seems to be the contrary for me because I am getting noticeably better battery life than before. Just to clarify things, I am running a V500, rooted, and running TWRP 2.8.

[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oaklands:
Thanks for the reply. Hopefully some more will reply.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rjkmadison:
I upgraded my VK810 (Verizon) and I am not very happy with it. The battery life is similar to kitkat during normal use, but it is terrible at idle - burns 1.5%/hour overnight. It lags pretty regularly, sometimes even on the pin unlock screen for a few 5-10 seconds in the middle of entering.

I have done a full factory reset and set it up from scratch, which didn't improve the performance.

I am considering a flash of KK or even going back to JB. 4.2.2 was the most stable and bug-free version, in my opinion. I am reluctant to flash it, because it's a work tablet and I'd rather not risk bricking it. The only real reason I upgraded to LP was for the proper handling of trim on encrypted devices.

(I am not usually one to bash new releases. My Sony Z1c is incredible with LP, though it needed a factory reset to get there.)
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xybix:
Same here. Upgraded and not very happy with it. Has more issues connecting to hotspots in my house (issues I didn't have with KK) and it lags, a lot. Some things are certainly better, but I don't think it's any faster - if anything, just the opposite. Is anyone else having the lagging issues? I find it mostly when I'm playing games or doing things that tax the processor.

This is the slightly different lock screen clock found on the Android M Developer Preview.

v1 modifies the lock screen clock, while v2 modifies the swiping right action for Google Voice Search.

Tutorial

1. Install apktool according to your operating system.

2. Install your framework-res.apk by executing: apktool if /path/to/framework-res.apk

3. Decompile your SystemUI.apk by executing: apktool d /path/to/SystemUI.apk

4. Go to the decompiled SystemUI folder and open res/values/styles.xml.

5. Search for <style name="big_thin"> and replace sans-serif-thin to sans-serif-light.

6. In the same folder, open dimens.xml.

7. Search for widget_label_font_size and replace 16.0sp to 14.0sp.

8. Open res/layout/keyguard_status_area.xml.

9. In the two lines starting with TextClock and TextView, add

android:textAllCaps="true" android:letterSpacing="0.15"

at the end, before />. Also make sure that there is a space before />.

10. Rebuild SystemUI by executing: apktool b -c /path/to/SystemUI

11. The finished SystemUI.apk will be in /path/to/SystemUI/dist/SystemUI.apk. Copy it to your phone and use a root browser to replace your SystemUI.apk.

The downloads below are mostly outdated. Please provide the files as stated below to request for an updated version.

Feedbacks would be appreciated, as I may add other improvements depending on suggestions.

For requests, please state your desired version and upload your SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk from /system/priv-app/SystemUI/ and /system/framework.

Installation:

Option 1​

Flash M.Lockscreen.zip (link below) according to your ROM in a custom recovery, such as TWRP.​

Option 2​

Extract the downloaded zip file. Copy SystemUI.apk in the extracted files to /system/priv-app/SystemUI/ and set permissions to 755 using a root-supported browser. (I recommend X-Plore File Manager)​

Update:

Version 2 now include swiping right to access Google Voice Search.​

Hey guys,

I read a lot about changing bands for HTC, but I did nt find anything helpfull to resolve my issue.

Are there any chance I got it work for my Country (France) ? By flashing radio or other ?

thanks a lot
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4Freedom:
Greenify is more than enough.

Remember to dont use stupid task killer, because they close the apps in memory but after some seconds/minutes or at an event they come back in ram, so it generates a loop kill-open-kill-open. An application has not the permission to force stop another app without root permission or administrator permession(in setting), so most of apps in play store are unless...

Use greenify and hibernate all applications you want, remember that system applications has more permissions so greenify can close them but they may restart, like general task killer, so it is better to dont hibernate system apps and synced apps...

That's all :)

Dont destroy your smartphone installing thousand of task killer ;) (or sh!t like "clean master").

That's my opinion

Hello! I am an avid OCD font freak and must have all my phones use Roboto Condensed throughout the system! Installing the font through the theme market does not replace ALL the fonts so what I usually do is pull the font folder from the ROM I am using and replace each font individually with the appropriate Roboto Condensed file (reg, italic, bold, etc.). Is there a way to replace a batch of font files (i.e. all the regulars) with a single file (i.e. Roboto Condensed-Regular) while retaining the original file names, and then go through and do the same with the bolds, italics, etc.? I have looked around with no luck, so if such a thing exists it would make my flashable font zip creation a much quicker task! I have access to Windows as well as Linux so anything will work. Thanks in advance for any information and I will forever be in your debt to whoever can point me in the right direction! Yarrrrrrrr!! :silly:

Hi

Should i zipalign all the rom after deodex? It will faster?

(Deodexer have zipalign options)
[Sony Xperia M2] proadi96:
Zipaligning your apps will "compress" them witch results in less RAM usage of some .apk's. So basically you will have more RAM free. To answer your question - not really but if you think it's faster it's probably a placebo.
