Is this joke?
[Xperia Z1 General] Bican:
Do that printscreen looks like joke to you ? :)

I will upload a video to youtube soon.

Edit: go to youtube and /watch?v=c2ujy44_Dns
[Xperia Z1 General] munged:
I said joke because everyone know how to root with unlocked bootloader

We need locked bootloader root :(
[Xperia Z1 General] Bican:
I'm new to this kind of stuff. I tryed many Roms for the battery drop issue since Android Lolipop Update.

Dont know if it helps you but you can use Sony's Developer guide on how to unlock your bootloader or you can use flastool dot net 1 click bootloader unlock.

Open program, conect phone in fastboot, click BL button, then unlock bootloader.
[Xperia Z1 General] loukura:
where are the files and the tutorial??
[Xperia Z1 General] Gamer4Life:
This is a troll, also operator versions of z1 has their bootloader permanently locked
[Xperia Z1 General] tracer123:
but, when you unlock bl you will lose guarantee.

this is a deal breaker :)
[Xperia Z1 General] Bican:
I got this phone Second Hand so there is no problem.

Not a troll, this is how i have rooted my phone today with android 5.1.1 - check video on youtube , posted today.

Sony Flashtool via flashtool dot net

Also has included XperiFirm to get any original firmware you want.

PRF Creator via this forum links

Recovery Flashable also from this forum

CWM Recovery boot.img found on that forum also with tutorial - flash it via fastboot (android sdk platform tools) or via Sony Flash Tool

You can find LINK of everything used in this tutorial on this forum.

Get all files then follow this to root Android 5.1.1

Again, im new thats why i cant post links !
[Xperia Z1 General] Bican:
I flashed Stock Versions/Custom roms or howerver you called them. via sony PC Companion, Emma, Sony Flash tool

Search this on google "sony unlock bootloader"
[Xperia Z1 General] munged:
We know how to unlock bootloader but we will lose drm key forever

So downgrade is the best choice for now
[Xperia Z1 General] optimumpro:
You, my friend, are insulting intelligence of XDA members. First of all, you can't install recovery if you have no root. Second of all, you can't unlock your bootloader if you have no root. Now understand how d*mb you sound? If I were you, I would beg the modes to wipe this thread and then get another ID or disappear forever.
[Xperia Z1 General] iedafarha:
forgive him and be kind :) got qoute from some where, Here's an inspirational qoute

some her know things but never share knowledge, they think they have a top secret under their belt, must make them feel special. Come on guys remember the newbies of today will be the pros of tomorrow and without newbies today there will be no pros tomorrow.

[Xperia Z1 General] ronnie74:
Definitly delete this thread, unlocking bootloader we know about it. PRF Creator we know to use, but what how about devices with "unlock bootloader allowed....no"? I think your intentions was good, but this is not a solution, sorry
[Xperia Z1 General] optimumpro:
The quote is OK, but it applies to those who refuse to share knowledge. Not me... :)
[Xperia Z1 General] iedafarha:
haha .. sorry :D not point to you mate, just take full qoutation from somewhere. thanks :)
[Xperia Z1 General] migidid:
Do the same without unlocking bootloader... then we have some business to do.. Hows your camera btw ? is it nice to shoot without focus ?
[Xperia Z1 General] orchero12:
I've done something similar WITHOUT UNLOCKING BOOTLOADER. In my case , i have a xperia Z1 without the posibility to unlock the bootloader (Unlocking bootloader status set to NO). I have to mention that i did not have any recovery installed on my phone. I've done the following steps:

1. I flashed a KITKAT (4.4.4)(downgraded) to my Xperia Z1.

2. After that i rooted the phone with the simply root (automatic one) or one click root.

3. I've installed dual recovery for Z1 with flashtool.

4. After that , i've flashed a 5.1.1 Android(with recovery) with root, xposed and everything...(IT HAS TO BE COMPATIBLE WITH LOCKED BOOTLOADER , READ CAREFULLY IN DESCRIPTION)

5. Right now i enjoy the rooted 5.1.1 with xposed and everything

Here you have the link of the 5.1.1 flash:http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z1/development/rom-z5mx-rom7-5-0extended-battery-t3224245

ENJOY!
[Xperia Z1 General] tracer123:
what?

We don't need a root to unlock BL.
[Xperia Z1 General] optimumpro:
Really? Then how do you do adb unlock if you have no root? Read the all in one guide again. The first step is always root.
[Xperia Z1 General] Yenkazu:
Using fastboot, fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xKEY

I don't know if using ADB, what I know if I want unlock Xperia bootloader, I'm using the command above :3
[Xperia Z1 General] optimumpro:
I never use Windows, so, there may be something I don't know. :) Maybe that fastboot binary gets you to fastboot, because it is from Sony, but normally, you can't put your phone in fastboot if bootloader is locked.

Speaking of the OP, he still doesn't know what he is talking about: you can't root LP5.1.1 on locked bootloaders without downgrading.
[Xperia Z1 General] Bican:
I did like this guy say.

First step was to unlock bootloader via sony's tutorial.

Second was to install that recovery , CWM recovery...btw before that when i tried to boot in recovery nothing happened. After installing boot.img....i was able to enter recovery with volume up and power.

I dont know what someone said before about that u cant flash recovery without root but looks like i flashed...and every time when i rebooted from recovery, CWM said that i dont have root access or something.

Camera works just fine, is a stock ROM, dont know what you talking about. Even the battery seems to improve a little bit after i was able to delete batterystats.bin , so far no more battery drop, but i guess this problem will come again. I will see after 2-3 battery recharges.

I dont want to insult your intelingece, just some of you think that you are to smart for this. I just wanted to share how i rooted my Z1 with Android 5.1.1 installed because i did not found any working method for this android version and belive me, i've tried many...kingo root, scripts, 1click exploits, all failed. And any tutorial that i found sais to downgrade to Android 4.
[Xperia Z1 General] Bican:
Read Sony's Tutorial and dont pretend to be so smart. I've had no idea about root, unroot and ****s. I just installed Android SDK, got my key from sony...paste that command and voilla - unlocked bootloader, nothing to do with root and what u are talking about.

I DID NOT HAD ROOT ACCESS BEFORE FLASHING RECOVERY - Read this again ;)

I told you, after installing CWM recovery, booted in recovery, when tryied to reboot it allways said that i dont have root access....so ?
[Xperia Z1 General] optimumpro:
You still don't know what you are talking about. Anybody who has been on XDA for 20 minutes longer than you knows that If your bootloader is unlocked, you don't need to do unroot at all. All you need to do is flash any kernel with recovery or recovery straight or any prerooted rom. So, no one has a problem of rooting or doing anything else with their device when their bootloader is unlocked. It is only on locked bootloaders and on LP5.1.1 you need to downgrade first, then root, then install recovery and finally flash prerooted stock LP 5.1.1 rom.

You post a "guide" where you show to the world how to add 2+2. Well, I have a surprise for you: every 1st grader knows that.
[Xperia Z1 General] Bican:
Yes you are right, but u could explain from that from the beggining. Not to act superior. Anyway the problem was that i could not boot in recovery before flashing CWM, my phone simply started as normal when tried to do that, after i was upgraded to 5.1.1.
[Xperia Z1 General] optimumpro:
I think I did the first time. What ticked me was that you were argumentative even before I got involved...

Recovery: When you upgraded, your Fota partition (where your recovery sits) was erased. Then you lost root with upgrade, so, you had no ability to install recovery until you unlocked your bootloader. If you used Emma, that would just create a recovery partition, but you still need to install recovery there. If you had root on 5.0 and CWM, you could have just flashed any prerooted stock 5.1.1

OK. Peace. :cool:
[Xperia Z1 General] Bican:
Peace. Have no idea what i did, flashed so many roms with so many programs :)) . Tried everything !
[Xperia Z1 General] motorazrv3:
Fact is you described the way for unlocked bootloader. That is nothing new.

Your heading from the thread suggest the way for locked bootloaders.

Maybe you should edit the thread and add the words " for unlocked bootloader ".
[Xperia Z1 General] KWOKSFUNG:
Come on, any f**king phone can be rooted with unlocked BL!! (Unless the BL of that specific phone cannot be unlocked)

I understand u are new here, so dont pretend u are an expert and write a guide that serves nothing

Also I swear u ever know the consequence of unlocking just to obtain root. Learn more about backup TA before u do that
[Xperia Z1 General] Deathschythe33:
[MENTION=7047380]Bican[/MENTION],

So just to verify this, you gained root access

after unlocking your phone's bootloader?

or did you gain root access

after rooting your phone after unlocking the phone's bootloader?

Do you know why I asked? Because unlocking the phone's bootloader is one thing, actually rooting it and putting in a root access management app like SuperSU is another. Ok, yes you are new here. But

please, before you post a "tutorial" learn your basics first.

Did you do a backup? You never said anything about doing a backup first so the answer is

NO

. In XDA before anybody gives the step-by-step instructions you will see one statement:

DO A BACK UP FIRST

Reading your "tutorial" you never said this. So meaning, if I were dumb and did this I may loose my son's Birthday pictures which I do not want to happen and if that happens, I will turn Liam Neeson on you for not telling me to do a backup first.

Did you backup your TA partition? I guess this is also a

NO

, which leads me to point #3

Did you research XDA on what are the consequences of unlocking your bootloader? Probably another

NO

. If #2 and #3 are both no, then I suggest you

learn more before posting another "tutorial"

. And good luck to you after you learned what just happened to you. lol

Did you know that there are no direct way of rooting 5.1.1?

Another NO for sure.

If you researched XDA you will learn that

there is absolutely no direct way of rooting 5.1.1 if your phone has a locked bootloader

using any kind of scripts or 1-click root app, and that the only way is to downgrade to KK or LP, root it, put a recovery in it, then use a pre-rooted 5.1.1 ROM in it. Noticed that I put an emphasis on

locked bootloader

? Because members here that have been doing their research and learning their basics know that if you have a phone that has an unlockable bootloader, you don't need to worry.

So w/ all the hating and flaming and all is done. Please modify your little "tutorial", and apologize to those you have offended if there are any.
[Xperia Z1 General] Bican:
No, just unlocked bootloader following Sony's Tutorial, instaled CWM recovery via fastboot, flashed prerooted room and super Su from recovery.

To be honest i dont know if there are any consequences for unlocking bootloader, from what i know something about DRM keys and waranty void. But this is not a problem for me, the phone is not new :))

And another thing, it runs better than before, almost 41k score in Antutu...so what it should be the problem ? Camera ? (from what i read) ...no, it works the same as before. What else if u are kind and explain me !
[Xperia Z1 General] Gladwin_Prince:
How long are you using the Xperia Z1??, because if you had been using it for some time now, you should have noticed the drop in quality of pics, the increased noise in low light conditions, etc. As far as what we know bionz doesn't work with unlocked bootloader, which is a dedicated processor(Hardware) for image processing. Hence, Lose of Functionality of the Bionz reflects on your images with noises,bad low light images, etc. So, You can't say "it works the same as before".

Being new to this, it's fine. I would advise you to request the mods to close this thread and finish this matter forever.

[MENTION=7047380]Bican[/MENTION]

Wow, you have guts to post a "tutorial" to something you don't even understand?!? Oh my God!?! Are you on your right frame of thinking?!? Did you read the part that I gave my Son's Birthday picture as simple example of how bad this little "tutorial" of yours is?!?

Ok, fine you purchased a 2nd hand unit what about the those others that might have, could have, would have, followed this "tutorial"?!? What will you tell them?!? Are you going to just ignore them when they break their phone?!? Will you tell them to "just copy somebody else's DRM keys"?!? With all the Pagan gods of Old and New, I ask you kindly to please request the Mods to delete this thread before you have somebody posting on this thread saying that your "tutorial" broke their phone. This is XDA, this site is intended for people to research and learn on their own pace. This is not a spoon-feeding site. You read and learn. If there is something you don't understand you ask questions, relevant and pertinent questions. But to answer your question,

Hi,

I've developed a widget to toggle the battery saver on Android 5.0/5.1 (Lollipop), Android 6.0 (Marshmallow), and Android 7.0/7.1 (Nougat). It requires root.

This is an xda-exclusive free version! If you want to support me, please consider getting the paid version on Google Play or check out my other apps.

Please note: Redistribution of this app is not allowed!

Paid version on Google Play (more functionality): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cygery.togglebatterysaver

Device compatibility: second post

This free version only includes the widget. The paid version on Google Play additionally includes a Locale/Tasker compatible plugin and support for shortcuts.

Device Support

Device support depends on a variety of factors, including your specific device model, Android version, installed (custom) ROM, used root provider (su binary), and SELinux configuration. This app includes options to deal with different configurations of some of those factors. Please let me know if this app does not work on your device.

Notes

The widget is passive. Thus, it has to request root every time it is refreshed. Although the battery impact is negligible, this usually results in frequent (Toast) messages indicating that the app was granted root rights. Please refer to your superuser management app if you'd like to disable those messages specifically for this app.

Other Issues: When reporting any issues please include the following info in your post: Device, ROM and ROM version, exact version number of this app you use (don't just write "latest"), superuser management app (e.g., SuperSU) and version, content of any shown error messages. Describe in detail what you tried to do, what you expected to happen, and what happened instead. Include screenshots/screencasts where possible and useful to show the issue.

Cheers,

cygery

Hi team,

I been trying to instal CM 12.1 on LS990 but after boot the screen turn off and the phone dosent respond, i try to remove the battery and boot again but keep the same error. i realy like CM 12.1 on my old phones but never have this issue before,

Also there is a way that i can install LG camera on CM??

Please ask if you need more info
[Sprint LG G3] Jhinta:
cam depends on lg framework , cm uses default android framework, so no, unless one port all the work

if a rom doesnt work , just installen a new one or redownload or other version etc

if your realy out of the head just reinstall default rom and start over

not booting can have so many isseus , its just to simple as get a rom that you know that sould work as everybody is using it.

afcorse you can have user error like not have been wiping and other smale things you get to know when you do rom flashing
