Just flashed, clean install through TWRP, everything working as it should be... Thanks OP!
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] karlchen68:
I know, when i flashing with Philz,i will lost root,(happened to me at the last Firmware *.216),with twrp all work awesome.Does anyone know why this is so??

Do you have tft file to flash using flashtool?

Thanks.

The reason for that is prfcreator. I dont know exactly the technical background but i guess the PRFCreator thread will explain it. Too Lazy to search for that ;)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] teslarix:
Hello,

I´ve a problem after flashing and hope anyone can help me.

Here the things I´ve done:

- for root my phone, I flashed this firmware with Flashtool-0.9.19.10

D5503_14.4.A.0.157_Central Europe 3 (unbranded).ftf

(I used this Image, because I can´t find any 108 or 157 Image(all Links are dead?), only the kernels. Perhaps someone

can upload one stock D5503....157-DE FTF File again, but that´s another thing )

- root it with EasyRootTool v12.4

- Install Z1C-lockeddualrecovery2.8.23-RELEASE.combined

- Install the flashable Zip from this threat with TRWP

Now all works fine, the only thing that don´t work ist the camara.

camara starts normally, but if I take a picture, the screen freez,

camara-light light up permanently and the touchscreen isn´t working any more.

The only thing I can do then, is to push on/off button (once for standby,

twice for turn on screen again), then the Kamara seems to be working

normally again, until I try to take a picture, then starts all over again.

I don´t know where is the problem. Have do all again, and many other attemps

(flash(216/236), root..., many wipes at all states), but no effect. perhaps this

is important too: phone have just sent to Sony for repair (Battery Problem

- Fixed - new mainboard) and was returned with fresh Lollipop 5.1.1(216 DE)

Hope anyone knows this problem and can help

try deleting the camera app data and check if the problem is still there.

try installing the google camera and check if the issue is also there on that app.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] teslarix:
sorry there was a misstake in my first post, I don´t flash a ...157 firmware for root my device,

I flashed this one: D5503_14.2.A.1.114_CE.ftf

- deleting camara app(s) data: no effect

- Factory Reset/wipe: no effect

- the same issue with google camara (only the touchsreen don´t freez)

- after flashing ...236 stock firmware (without root): camara works

- after flashing D5503_14.2.A.1.114_CE.ftf : camara works

- after rooting and installing Dual Recovery : camara works

- after installing any prerooted ...216/236 firmware with TWRP: camara doesn´t work :(

I have exact the same problem on my 2 z1 compact and found this solution.

http://xdaforums.com/sony-xperia-z1-compact/help/camera-upgrading-to-lollipop-t3090499

but what is the real cause? That can not be the final solution.

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

yeahhh, i found a solution for me and (perhaps) for others.

1.Download the last *236 ftf file (in my case german costumized)

2.Build with old version (1.0!,not 1.1) of prf creator my owm preerooted file

Nothing problems with camera and others, allworks fine for me. Have also integrated xposed v78-sdk22-arm.zip(of course,only for people they used xposed framework usefull). Nothing problems.

in the end i think,the problem is not twrp,but the latest prf creator.

No,I have to correct myself,I tested it just again, do it but no difference between prfcreator version 1.0 and 1.1., no problems with prfcreator 1.1. Now i think,there is a problem with some ftf-files and the preerooted zip files that are based on. As i wrote above I downloaded with xperifirm the costumized german ftf, added xposed and flash it with the latest twrp (from *368 to the latest *236),without any kamera problems .At this time i found nothing bug.All works fine.

On the contrary, I think the camera will take better pictures in low light now.

Thanks a lot for your help :)

I'm also really interested in the reason for this problem. And hope someone from the specialists can solve the mystery. I also suspect the problem lies somehow with the PRF creator. However, I am surprised that the problem does not occur each time. Perhaps only by fresh installs ? I don´t now

Yes,cofirmed. Very strange situation. Tested again, on one phone works my own preerooted zip, on other phone (identical with same apps etc.) camera freeze and focus not working. When i make a facory reset,then works the camera without any bugs,when i restore data from the same cwm backup,then camera crashes.I dont really no whats is the cause .

Thanks!
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] levone1:
My take - the roadmap you mentioned has been made before, but methods have changed frequently, so hard to keep updating, (I think I remember 5 or 6 updates since the 1St lp).

1. Rooting with Kingroot has been called sketchy, and maybe true, but once you're rooted, it's easy to wipe and start new without it. If you did find TA backup that you could use without root, you could the unlock bl, and root with fastboot in 10 seconds.

2. Titanium is usually OK for restoring app data, but I've had some glitches with it too. However, with root and recovery you can always just flash a new Gapps if that was your only issue.

4. First boot can often take very long, and you may need to wipe caches, reboot, etc. It's not too abnormal.

Xposed is safe as anything on a stock rom. Most of the problems I've seen are from flashing the wrong version. The only thing that might happen is a bootloop if you install an incompatible module, but that's rare on stock, and if it happens, you just go into file manager in recovery and delete folder from /data/app.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] ThreeMMM:
Just want to know...what have THIS to do with the rrerooted rom? Nothing. So please open a new thread for discussing thoose issues and not spam this thread. This thread have to be for the "i want to update my rooted Android but i didin't want lost my root" people who has questions or issues about the prerooted package. Please keep this in mind. Thanks
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] levone1:
I don't know about starting a new thread for this, but you're right about being off-topic, thanks. Probably would be better in the 5.1 update thread...
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] packetfire:
With all due respect to the hard work that went into creating this package, and with deference to the moderators of the discussion board, I think it is a valid comment upon the very first post in the thread, which breezily included the following instructions:

Comments about the instructions should always be in the thread were the instructions appear, otherwise, how would one ever be able to make note of an error or deficiency? The author of the instructions will always think them sufficient, as he knows what he means. :)

The thread is "about" whatever the title seems to be, and the title is the name of the ROM. I realize that one could, if one had the time, puzzle out each and every secret handshake, understanding, and assumption inherent in the posts made, but I don't know anyone who has that much time, and I have stumbled across posts from a number of lost souls, utterly clueless, confused by such breezily-written instructions that inherently assume that one has spent the past 3 years of one's life breathing, eating, and sleeping phone and their software.

So, thanks so very much for the very nice rooted ROM, but when even someone who has been in the computer biz since the 1970s can't puzzle out the process to install and use it, that's worth a comment, and perhaps a rethinking of how one contributes a package. I think each package can be slotted into a tree that would implicitly place it into a map of prerequisites, and thereby point the novice phone tweaker to seek out the correct tutorials.

I could be wrong in the above, but I'm unlikely to be completely wrong.

Thanks for making this ROM available. Just like an other user

, I'm confused by the start post though (or probably the process on Sony in general). So, I'm on a completely untouched Z1C (running Android 5.1.1, build 14.6.A.0.368) and I want to run this ROM. The start post seems to imply I can flash this ROM from this state. Is this the case or do I need to do something else (having used HTC for a couple of years now I'm used to these basic steps: unlock bootloader>flash custom recovery>backup rom>flash custom and rooted rom>use custom goodness).

Going slightly off topic ish:

as user packetfire suggested a sticky topic for the general process of getting our beloved Z1C to run a custom ROM seems like a good idea. I've flashed quite some HTC's, but to me the process on Sony seems quite intimidating: backing up TA partitions or not, whether or not to use Kingroot, not using certain types of custom recoveries and what not. The process in the Cyanogenmod wiki seems pretty straightforward, but somehow I doubt that it is. This guide seems to be pretty good, but then it talks about flashing a zip and doing a nandroid without, from what I am seeing, a custom recovery on the device... I don't get that. So, someone with the knowledge and time and grace to pull together and maintain something like a guide can certainly count on my thumbs up.

Bluetooth Problems

I am facing bluetooth problems since installing this pre Rooted Recovery. I also installed the "enable Call Recording" ZIP frome another Thread.

Can someohne explain the exact settings to use in TWRP so I will try it again. I only did the TWRP recommended Wipe, maybe I should wipe more than that?

Thanks fore more detailed Information.

If nobody than me is having bluetooth problems, the prerooted system here seems to be ok. So I want to try it again.

Thx in advance.

No Bluetooth problems noted here.

Use it with NFC/Bluetooth Denon Envaya Mini, Sony NEO Tank speaker, headphones even connect it to Bluetooth Landline phone. So after many months, I'd notice any 'general'(You've not said what the problem is) Bluetooth problems.

Clear Dalvik, cache and even data, reinstall ROM, then clear Dalvik and cache again and reboot.

I'm using a SanDisk 200GB with Link2SD on this ROM without problems.

All good for me.

Install Rashr from Play Store, and select 'recovery from storage'. Then you should be able to boot into recovery from power off, (hold power and volume down together until vibrate, then release), if your bootloader has been updated via Emma
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] world-e:
Thanks. The Rashr needs root. And I don't have root. And I also searching for a instruction to get root an 5.1.1
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] levone1:
If no root, you can't install recovery, I believe, since even adb will ask for root to flash img.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] thorstenhirsch:
It's a bit different: adb does not need root. For adb you only need to activate the developer settings and that's possible in stock roms as well. However when you activate adb ("debugging") and run "adb shell" on your computer you will be logged in as a normal user on the phone. And a normal user cannot flash recovery. There's also no way to become root on an unrooted rom, because there's no "su". And you cannot install "su" with SuperSU either, because SuperSU also needs root permissions to install "su". Thus there's no way for being asked for root permissions on an unrooted rom.

There are basically 2 ways to install a rooted rom:

- find a security bug so that the normal user ("adb shell") can become root

- unlock the boot loader so that you can flash anything

So much for the theory. Sony allows you to unlock the boot loader. You will find a bunch of tutorials in Google.

[Xperia Z1 Compact General] levone1:
Easiest thing with locked BL is to use Emma to flash latest fw, which will include ta update for real recovery, then root with King root, install Rashr, and flash twrp3. Then you can get into recovery to flash anything you want, (custom ROM, SuperSU, etc.). With unlocked BL, it's as easy as using fastboot to flash kernel and recovery IMG, then boot to recovery and flash whatever you've downloaded already.

And ActiveSync is currently set to 'allow usb connections' - is that what you mean?

Both 5.0.2 and 5.1.1 can be rooted, correct? Is there any advantage of rooting 5.0.2 and then updating to 5.1.1 vs first updating to 5.1.1 and then rooting?
