[Q] How to install mods on a new Xperia Z? - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So yesterday I found out about this modification that allows me to take pictures with the volume key button (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2266208). I really wanted this feature, but had no clue what "flash one of the MOD with CWM RECOVERY" meant.
It being my first time, I totally failed haha. I installed a bunch of apps including ROM manager, fastboot etc and I somehow got my phone rooted and CWM recovery working (I think), but update.zip was missing. Tried several ROMs on my SD card, which didn't work. Ultimately, I ended up putting my phone into the horrifying bootloop and I had to wipe the entire phone with software update.
My phone stats:
Model number: C6603
Android version: 4.1.2
Build number: 10.1.1.A.1.253
I have no clue if my phone is locked or unlocked.
My question: how do I install this modification, preferably with a step by step guide from a clean Xperia Z? Thanks in advance!

If you were on 253 from the beginning, you probably never rooted your device because there is no exploit for 253. To root 253 you have to downgrade to 434. Also use Check Root to confirm if your device is rooted before you go trigger happy with apps,

Please don't post out of date information. You no longer have to downgrade to root.

I stand corrected. The OP in that did not confirm that it had been tested on 253 but seems like some of the members did get it to work.

Yes its not confirmed that its tested on. .253. But kingvortex keeps saying that ! Maybe he rooted.the firmware him self . Its confirmed that it works for .343 and. 307
Anyway flashing a firmware is very easy and it takes less than 5 min
Just as a side I think hiding the thanks meter will do good for alot of members

Please check your facts before trying to call me out for no reason.
Yes, I agree. The thanks meter should be disabled for those desperately trying to fill it by reposting information without crediting sources and not checking facts before posting.

Listen dude. Just stop grasping at straws. The tool roots 253 just fine. The remount reboot problem is nothing to do with that. That problem is caused by the RIC service and is nothing to do with Doomlord's tool at all.
Do some research before embarrassing yourself further.
You are the one that decided to try and act clever by coming in here and questioning my post before you had even checked if I was correct or not, purely because I have corrected you for posting incorrect information in other threads. If you think that's "attacking" you, then feel free to report my posts and let a mod decide.
In any case, just stop. You are only making yourself look bad here and I'm not concerned what you think about me.
Are we clear?

Doomlord says it may work on 253, which is then subsequently confirmed by multiple people later in the thread. What is hard to understand here?
You posted purely to try and discredit me because I have picked you up on posting information that is blatantly wrong in other threads. You failed. Accept it and move on.
And yes, I will defend my position from somebody that has decided to start some sort of childish feud for no reason other than they feel insulted that somebody corrected them.
End of discussion, so feel free to get the last word if it will make you feel better.

Remember, everything on xda is for free, so you can at least give a little respect to people who try to help you.
People like you are the reason why many devs discontinue their work. People always demand and don't think about other people spending their free time just to help.

Unfortunately, people that think like we do are becoming lost in the sea of self entitled noobs that have swamped these forums with the increased popularity of Android and modding.
They refuse to search or read before posting or show any respect to people that give their time for free to develop better software for their device.

Stop being ignorant & try to understand the risks involved in sharing the system dump. They are not sharing the dump even to the recognized developers:crying: Also if you keep on replying like a 7yr old, every one is gonna ignore your reply.
Chin up & change your thread title to closed or ask a mod via pm.

[Q] Walkman widget. But with different background.

With all the tech genius on the forum I was wondering if anyone could change the stock Walkman widget a little. Basically it's a bit out of place on my home screen with its dark background as all my widgets have no background.
Could it be changed to clear? Before its mentioned, no I don't want to use a different widget for it. I like the Walkman one.
I'm running Xperia Launcher 2.0.5b found on the forum. I can't find the link to the thread again though. I'm on a C6603, 4.1.2, locked bootloader.
I'm using the launcher as I like the extra little bit of customisation over the stock home. But would go back if needed
I hope someone can help.
Thanks

OP, this is not what XDA is about, please read this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16682226&postcount=2441
Let me quote certain points about what you are minsunderstanding about XDA developers:
XDA is and always will be about the developers.
XDA is not a place to come and make your phone cool.
XDA IS a place to come to learn and share your knowledge. If you are not here for those reasons then you are here for the wrong ones.
I have watched XDA become a place where every dumbass in the world has a smartphone and comes here thinking they have the right to anything. Well guess what? You dont have the right to ****. We share it because we want to and we dont if we dont feel like it. Are the Developers or the Mods required to make you happy? Nope not in the least. Wanna leave. Go ahead. I beg you, please do. The less people that are asking dumb question cause they dont know what they are doing (this is understood when your new, but at least look) or are too lazy to look for it the better.

Even though I was talking in general about your suggestion that everyone should need to be told how to behave properly (they already are, by the way, in the forum rules, read them), is that a proper way to behave when you're asking for help from people that work for free? Or even the proper way to behave in public? I think not.
As for everyone being a noob to begin with; that does not entitle anyone to behave inappropriately and ***** and moan if they don't get what they demand.

Yes you can, but theres a lot discussion about kingo root
Sent from my GT-P5110 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
It will root your phone, but will collect and send a lot of data to China in order to do so.
Kingo claim that they no longer collect your IMEI, but say nothing about device ID/serial numbers etc that they have been caught sending unencrypted to their server before.
I do not trust them at all and the fact that their app is currently not allowed on XDA says a lot.
Edit - Also, the guy saying he is too lazy to find out what is wrong with the Kingo app is just the sort of person that creators of malware rely upon to both use and propagate their apps. Laziness is no excuse to use and recommend use of questionable software, ever.

Dude, you sound butthurt really, I did not recommend it in the very first place, I just said that it does the job, and in my case, flawlessly, I don't know about you, but for your kind information,, I have been using doomlord method since the good old x10 days, but recently it doesn't work, so, I have no choice but to resort to kingo, what other choice do I have left? Well maybe there is, but kingo happen to stumble upon me. I never did said that he should be doing the same, but since he was asking, and I happen to have gone through it, I just said it, I even said that they were kind of suspicious, but just wanna let you know, the way you reply doesn't help that much either.
Thanks, and have a nice day
I really don't care what you did to your phone, but suspicious software that is banned from this site is not 'flawless'.
I posted merely to make sure that anyone with any sense that viewed this thread knew of its suspicious nature and stayed away from it.
Finally, just because you are unable to follow the simple instructions for DooMLoRD's method for rooting 67, doesn't mean it doesn't work. It works just fine for me and thousands of others.

Edit - I reported that thread as it appeared that links to Kingo had been left in the OP by mistake. The links have now been removed.
Hopefully this will stop the spread of it until they have stopped collecting data from their users.

You have an unlocked bootloader. Why are you using dodgy tools to root? You could just flash a modified kernel.

Thnks for your help.
Can someone post a link to the actual KitKat from WALMART site where Da Kine got that KitKat at ? Looks good. I think I want that on my FLEX. Is it compatible with the d959? Can we keep root, or will it melt in your hand not in your mouth ?
I motion that we reopen Da Kine's KitKat for the D959 thread back up! People where getting a good laugh out of it. It wasnt hurting anybody and everybody needs a good laugh. Looks like you my sir could use one yourself.

Lg make such good products, but hoping about them for updates in a reasonable time is like an utopia ...
About time the a moderator/moderators do something about all of the pointless KitKat threads, jeesh, I was beginning to think we didn't have any mods for our Flex.
Anyways, since my thread was closed (even though I posted in the correct section) i'll repost the pictures. Apparently, mattwheat says that you can get this version of kitkat at Walmart, so I guess if you want KitKat on your G Flex, go to walmart. I'm sure it's compatible with every varient of the G Flex. Post pictures of KitKat on your Flex if your lucky enough to get it lol. :highfive: :good:

Root works for me, you literally just put it on your phone, it will melt in your hand if you hold it too long though, its one of those annoying bugs that haven't been removed yet. :highfive:

There's nothing to be sorry about, the KitKat threads were getting out of hand and really annoying. I just made mine for sh*ts and giggles, everyone can use a good laugh now and then. I know mods are busy and have lives of there own, but I was just surprised at how long it took for them to do something about the threads. I know that we can report threads, but I'm not going to sit here and do their job or make it any easier for them.
No hard feeling towards any members or mods, I was just trying to make others laugh and smile. Now let's focus back on getting this dang phone a custom recovery and Roms.

Alright,
I'm posting here in hopes that someone will be able to help me out with this.
I've done the back to stock thing with the LG software, and the serial number and blah blah. Now I'm interested in getting to Kitkat and and retaining root.
Now, in the thread that was locked (an already developed topic about a specific subject and never should have been locked.), people were posting the most incoherent series of events that lead to them retaining root.
Here's the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2730366
Here's an example of a grammatically butchered quote:
I rooted my flex. Then as i was rooting it, it was downloading. Kk. When my root rebooted, the update started. When i came atop, i had both. I used titanium this morning to remove the bloat ware. I got the flex around 5pm yesterday so i haven't had time to use a lot of root apps yet.

This makes no sense phonetically at all. If you're attempting to help people, please put it into a coherent sentence structure that we can follow.
Anyways, my question is this. For those of you who have successfully updated, what was the exact process? Leave out any details that don't matter (i.e, when you got your flex.)
Post step by step details.
So what it looks like is multiple people had the update downloading. Then before they went to reboot for the update, they rooted with ioroot. When ioroot rebooted the phone, it processed the upgrade and kept root. Is that correct?
Here are the exact steps i used to update and retain root. I restored to factory, rooted with ioroot, took the ota.

Anyone have the 600+Mb file download, install, and still was 4.2.2 ls995vz3.
It's like the update didn't do anything, and now when I click to check it says I'm updated? :banghead:

I was rooted and had the same thing happen. I had to flash back to stock unrooted and then I was able to do the update properly. Had to clear the google services framework though to get the update to show up.
N still rooted?

About time the a moderator/moderators do something about all of the pointless KitKat threads, jeesh, I was beginning to think we didn't have any mods for our Flex.
Anyways, since my thread was closed (even though I posted in the correct section) i'll repost the pictures. Apparently, mattwheat says that you can get this version of kitkat at Walmart, so I guess if you want KitKat on your G Flex, go to walmart. I'm sure it's compatible with every varient of the G Flex. Post pictures of KitKat on your Flex if your lucky enough to get it lol. :highfive: :good:

Yeah but you should see the bloat in the Walmart version. But it does have the "Rollback" apk . And self checkout. But I believe its a requirement to wear sweat pants and a dirty Garfield sweatshirt while using it. (Or mullet).
