Hey Guys,
I bought an Xperia T a few days ago and after updating from ics to jb i rooted my phone with this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2186368
everything worked fine but after that a few days later came another update out for my Xperia T, so i had updated it via sony companion. My Promblem is that i dont have root anymore. The Way how i did it the first time dont work anymore it stucks with a white screen and i must press the back button.
Now it Works lol but i have another question is it dangerous to update if you have root?

Nope brother.. Its not.. Because u r on a locked bootloader. So u can update to the latest firmware with root.... No problem. But it will be dangerous if u r on a unlocked bootloader and rooted...in ur case no problem...

Hi guys,
I have locked bootloader on my Z1 and flashed sometime ago rooted version. I also made .ftf of my firmware because I have branded software.
Now, my father updated his Z1 to kitkat (officialy) and he has a lot of problems with it. Can i flash .ftf from my Z1 to my fathers one and everything will be ok? Warranty will be void or not?

if you update your i9305 via ota update or kies, you will get the knox bootloader (new bootloader since 4.3) and that crap is nothing but a pain in the ass!! read about KNOX here. I dont recommend updating to official 4.3 for now with ota or kies, instead of that use a custom stock rom 4.3 from any developer on the development thread of i9305 without knox. but first ask in the thread of the rom, if you will get knox by flashing it? knox itself is removed from those custom 4.3 roms but still i dont know for sure, i have the new bootloader with knox myself unfortunately
all this time since im on knox bootl. ive had no problems actually with the knox bootloader in all that custom roms/kernels/recoveries flashing etc. but some do have and maybe you will too...(i hope not of course, if you do update to official 4.3) but you are warned!
the problem is that I haven't getting any updates till now as my mobile is from oman nd im in india.....
Try this:

I'm also on 4.1 jb... and will try that as well...
Update to 4.3 isnt worth at all.
Well configured 4.1.2 with some useful application is much better.
I just recently updated my s3 to 4.3 and the knox app isn't installed its just a link to install it should I install it or not

I am still on 4.1, but as far as I know, the problem is not the Knox app, but the Bootloader for 4.3, which has Knox installed. Which means that you void your warranty if you install custom roms after updating to stock 4.3. Like MaHo said, read Here
The better advice would be to flash some custom K.K. 4.4.4 rom instead. It has A LOT more improvements than 4.3.

Hey everyone,
I need help soon as possible.
I have a Xperia Z1 C6903 with android 5.1.1 and my firmware is 14.6.A.9.368 and I want to downgrade to 4.4 (KitKat) because Android 5.1.1 is stealing a lot of battery and is slower than 4.4, so I want to get back to it.
MY PHONE IS ROOTED.
I saw a lot of threads about this, but I still don't know much..
I have flashtool, I just need a download link for a firmware of 4.4 (KitKat) that is compatible with my phone and will run without problems.
(I dont know if this is important but my SI is 1276-1925.8 EL,EN) <- Don't know what is this..
I'm from Portugal, so I'm sure I need a firmware of Portugal version I dont know.. I think I have an Unlocked phone.
Waiting for help.. Thanks!
Wrong board - this should have been under XPERIA Z1 Q&A, HELP & TROUBLESHOOTING
No, you don't need to unlock your phone's bootloader to use Flashtool and flash a stock 4.4.4
You can check the FTF download links posted in our community boards. Technically speaking it's OK to use another regions FTF on your phone, i.e. Philippine phone (like mine) using Singapore ROM is just as the same as Philippine phone using Philippine ROM.
I recently downgraded to 4.4.4 from a spanish mod'er.
Was also just sick of LL's battery life... and suddenly I can forget about charging etc. Finally lasts for about two days again...

Lollipop is faster and much better overall
Kitkat just fur battery life on 3g and app compatibility
I find if i disable location the battery last longer
