Hi everybody,
just updated to Android 4.3 on my Z1 and realised that the Sony click sounds seems to have changed?
Has anyone experienced the same problem?
I really liked the "Sony" click sound any idea how to get it back?
Thanks in advance for your replies
Yes, the click on 4.3 is different and many do not like it. The only one way to get that click back is to root your phone and replace with the old one from 4.2. The problem is you did not saved the wave file from 4.2 so somebody should post it for you and then you should replace it on your phone or you downgrade, root your phone, backup all what you need and update again. Anyway if you want root your .290 the only way is to downgrade with NUT method so you will do 2 things in 1.

Anyone know or got a working root method for this device?
I have tried RootDashi and KingoRoot (the latest) and the root failed.
Is there any other working method, like downgrade or deodexed?

Until now, even if you unlock bootloader and flash su with a recovery isn't working.
Remount /system isn't working i'm getting permission denied. I asked some devs for help, I'm expecting an update on that in the next days.

Possible solution to root
I have a crazy idea about rooting this new 290 firmware.
And please guys, correct me if it's a known fact that this is wrong.
1.- Don't unlock bootloader.
2.- Flash ONLY baseband and kernel for 534.
3.- root with kingo or whatever worked for us back then.
4.- reflash 290 baseband and kernel.
We used to do something like this when the HTC One X had problems to root new firmwares, and it worked.
Think this might be an option?
I can try it, but only after next Monday. See, I'm traveling out of the country tomorrow, and wouldn't want to be left without my Z1 for the trip.
Any tips?

Could work (no need to flash baseband though, as it's only temporary). But we're back to the problem with remounting / etc, this is due to the new SELinux policies introduced in 4.3.
Think its the first time since X10 that i really missed root from a major update
Damn i cant wait... been trying alot of stuff with no success.. Cant even reroll to .518 - root then CWM and OTA to .257... So im stuck with the latest version with no root
I hope the Devs would give a quick solution to go around the 4.3 version..

Im not gonna unlock the device as of yet, perhaps when 4.4 comes and i feel alot safer to do it
I thought Android was supposed to be easy to root. Sony are really playing hardball with this, we shouldn't have to find bugs and loopholes to Root our devices anymore, else this is no better than Apple or Windows Phones :/
Hey guys. i have bought the xperia z1(from INDIA) four months back, model- C6902, firmware- 14.2.A.1.136 android version 4.3
Today i heard that the kitkat update that is coming to my z1 will not have the xperia Z2 features like 4k recording, smart call handling etc..
But i am desperate to get those features.. so i am thinking to root my phone and use those apps provided in xda..
Before rooting my phone i just need your help guys.. i have gone through many threads to know about rooting and flashing.. But as a newbie i have several doubts..
1. I found somewhere to root my phone i need to downgrade to 4.2.2.. Can i root my phone on 4.3..??
2. Which one should be done first.. Rooting or flashing..??
3. Should i need to flash any rom to use the xperia Z2 apps..??
4. How to backup the original ROM of my phone so that i can restore it later..??
5. After rooting the phone will sony provide me the update of 4.4.2...??
and the most important one..
6. I know rooting will void my phone's warranty.. But in case i do something wrong and my phone goes dead.. then..??
i have accidental damage warranty for six months.. If i break my phone into pieces and then submit it to the service center, will they be able to know that i have voided my warranty..??

Wait until 4.4 is out and then check for root methds, no point doing it just now if you have to do it all again in a few days time

No it will not, you can always flash a stock FTF and get rid of root and no one will ever know

Only if the phone is so smashed that you cannot flash it, but then, neither will they so they wont be able to tell either
Thanks a lot for the quick reply mate. Now i will wait for the 4.4 update.. But in case i want to root my phone after that can i ask questions in this thread..??
BTW you haven't answered my first 5 questions..?? please give me some idea.. i am sure i will have to root my phone to use other apps.. :fingers-crossed:

1) If there is a way to root 4.4 directly then there will be instructions given on how to do that in that thread
2) If not, then you downgrade by flashing a 4.2 ftf, root, install recovery flash a pre-rooted rom. All instructions are given in the relevant threads about flashing FTF files, rooting, installing recovery and how to flash a pre-rooted ROM. These instructions can vary slightly so its best to read the instructions from the OP of the relevant thread.
Okk mate.. One more doubt..
Can u plz tell me whether they can know my root status thru their online database or not??

No. Not unless you unlock the bootloader.

There is no such thing. No Sony phones are released with an unlocked bootloader. (Please don't confuse sim unlock with bootloader unlock)
they can tell if you have an unlocked bootloader very easily when connected to PCCompanion and then PCCompanion will say it wont update your phone.
Thanks mate... Now i can feel free to root or flash my phone.. If anything wrong happens then i will smash my phone and ask for a replacement
Thanks to accidental damage program by SONY :good:

That's a bit extreme (Not to say fraudulent)
You can just flash a stock FTF or use the official Sony program (PCCompanion) to repair your phone without the hassle of smashing your phone up and making a fraudulent claim which just bumps the insurance and cost up for all users.
Can i repair my phone via PC Companion if it gets bricked..??

No, that's the definition of a brick. But you wont brick your phone if you just root or flash roms.
You may "soft" brick it, but that's not really a brick, and in that case you can repair using flashtool and/or pccompanion
I am just acting like i have understood everything
I will only understand about these things when i will experience on it.. BTW thanks a ton mate.. you have helped me a lot.. :good:

downloading it now. I tried to check ota on NB4 but I keep getting software update interrupted. Hopefully I won't have to keep on relying on others to post the update files in the future. Thanks for the help, wish you would have responded to my first thread on this issue a month ago, but it looks like those update files were recently uploaded.

with kitkat that is because of the kingo root even if you unrooted do this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51203967&postcount=1 or if you are near an att service center you can take it to them and they will flash kitkat for you also bestbuy can too

Best Buy (Samsung) doesn't have the KitKat files yet. I went to my local BB store and they told me that didn't have the official file yet. Also, AT&T will not flash your phone either. I tried that one, too.
Has to be a att service center and both can re flash NB4 for you if you flashed the kk leak you need to do the mj5 restore first then go see them

I've recently purchased an XZ1c since my old z3c was basically falling apart at this point. (Would have kept it if the repair guy didn't royally screw things up.)
The phone is practically untouched physically and has been great for the past two weeks... It was when I tried taking pictures that I've noticed my first problem.
Green pictures had to reboot to see if the bootloader was unlocked and to my chagrin, the previous owner never told me they had unlocked the phone in the first place and didn't even know about DRM keys so those are lost.
I've rooted my old z3c before a long time ago and it was painless. Now with this phone, I'm having a bit of a problem and I'm hesitant to even try rooting it since I haven't rooted a phone since and I would prefer getting advices.
I am aware of the guide on rooting the phone and would have no problems following it if it wasn't for the fact that my phone's build was currently 47.1.A.12.270 and the guides use the .16.20 update but can't find the files to update to the September build. Model G8441
Since the phone is unlocked, I can't update through the normal means in order to get to that update or get 9.0 for that matter in order to do the root. Is there a guide on updating the phone to those before using the guide to root it? I haven't done this in a long time and don't remember anything. Thanks in advance!

Every time to you boot or reboot it should tell you it's been unlocked. I'd have sent it back as soon as I booted it up.

As you don't need to worry about your TA partition use the Flashtool or Newflasher to upgrade to Pie, flash TWRP, install Magisk, done.

I don't need to worry about going to .16.20 before upgrading to pie, just go directly?
If so, it's a lot easier than I thought. With my z3c I had to upgrade to a specific build prior rooting.
Just to make sure, the phone comes from the US so I should get the Customized US version for 47.2.A.11.228?
