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:

After having many problems rooting my xperia t james bond phone, I decided making a noob-ready tutorial on how to root the xperia t and probably other phones aswell.
No technical stuff, just follow the steps and you will be rooted in no time.
I did this with:
android version 4.0.4
build 7.0.A.3.195
So the very first thing you should do is unlocking your bootloader. Sony has made their own tutorial on how to do this, but It can be a little complicated. Im gonna link you to it and to a videp which explains it very well. I prefer the video myself.
http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/ and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0e1DYnoxUm0
After that you will need to unlock recovery mode. You can do this in 2 ways but I prefer the easy one.
The easy one is:
Installing a custom kernel with recovery mode integrated in it.
Use this link to download the kernel or go to the forum thread where I found it:
http://www.mediafire.com/?n4v89r2fvri2wlb
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1922925
Now that you've got the kernel with recovery mode integrated downloaded, we need to flash/install it into the phone.
You need to do this via flashtool. That's atleast the easiest I think.
You can download flashtool from the following website:
http://androxyde.github.com/
Install it. If you have problems installing the drivers for flashtool, you can use this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOC57DfI1zo
Now you need to make sure your phone is on and connected to your pc.
Open flashtool and click on the thunderbolt in the upper left corner.
Select fastboot mode.
Now select "Reboot into fastboot mode (via ADB)"
Wait for it to reboot. There should be a blue light turned on, on your phone.
Now look at your pc screen again. Click on "Select Kernel To Flash"
Select the kernel that I Gave you in the beginning of the tutorial.
Wait for it to install and your mobile probably reboot etc. untill it is on.
Now download Superuser zip file : https://rapidshare.com/#!download|939p5|3415386268|Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip|1324|0|0
Place the Superuser zip file on your mobile phone memory card or internal memory.
Now Turn off your phone completely.
Now we are gonna go into recovery mode to install Superuser.
There are several ways to do this but the one I use is holding both the volume buttons down and then holding the power button aswell.
(I did this when my phone was connected from my pc) or you use this video (skip to 3:31)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fMk0PhA_qc
It should boot into recovery mode. You can use the volume buttons to go up and down and the power button to select. Browse to the sdcard for the superuser.zip file and install it. (the most easy part).
Now go back to the start screen of recovery mode and select reboot into system.
Done, you have now got a fully rooted xperia T lt30p
Please tell me if I missed something. My first post ever lol
This post helped me alot:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1903137
Many thanks for your input here, but it is just a replication of the all in one thread instructions.
Also, to enter recovery mode you just need to press the volume up button when the purple led appears at boot up, you dont need to press all 3 buttons.
Also, you can download the SuperSU.apk directly from the market instead of flashing it in recovery.
Never the less, this is quite comprehensive and i have linked it to the all in one thread.

Yea, I know it's just recycled stuff but it is just for a nooby that doesen't know how to do stuff. I had like 10 tabs opened trying to root my xperia t.
This brings that number down lol
Well its certainly nice to see someones first post as a contibution rather that just asking for questions when the information is already out there.
If your bootloader is locked, to root, just use this, tested and working with a LOCKED bootloader on the Xperia T firmware 7.0.A.1.303 :

This method only works on the older firmware, as is mentioned several time in the all in one thread. If you have updated to the newer firmware 7.0.A.3.*** then THERE IS NO METHOD TO ROOT PHONE WITHOUT UNLOCKING THE BOOTLOADER!

My apologies, just learning the sony ropes, so to speak, I've come across from the Optimus 3D (free upgrade to Xperia T) my O3D is now running Xbsall's I.C.S. port.
Now I'm rooted on my current firmware, can I upgrade to the latest Xperia T firmware and if so how? As I've said, I'm a sony noob, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Update via SUES or PCCompanion if your firmware has the official update. If not you can still upgrade via flashtool, just read the all in one thread. All information is there.
However, if you update the only way to root is unlock your bootloader.

Thats irrelevant.
Have you checked if you can unlock the bootloader yet? If you cant then you will not be able to root.
Make sure you read the all in one thread fully so you know what you are doing. It would be better if you ask questiosn there, I monitor that thread closely

This firmware can now be rooted without unlocking the bootloader, read post 2 of the All in one thread (Q&A section) to find instructions..
Hello developers and xda members!
Some months/weeks ago I asked about rooting and warranty.I got some answers that if I unroot it or use SEUS I will not loose warranty.
This time is about roms and locked bootloaders.
If I install a CWM Recovery then flash a ROM do I void warranty?If yes is there anyway that I can make it so it's like I never flashed anything so the warranty will still last?
If yes what is the best rom I can install for LOCKED bootloader(I don't want to unlock it)?
I want a rom with good battery life + camera (I don't care if it's not 100% perfect but at least better than the stock one!)
Any answer would be helpful!
Thanks

Even if you unlock your bootlader you wont loose your warranty (if that is the reason you are not doing it).Just make a backup of your DRM keys and the unlock code and keep it safe.

I don't generally want to unlock bootloader.
Even if I don't unlock it and just install a rom(e.x Existenz) would I need to backup DRM keys?
Also can you give me a SAFE tutorial about backing them up?
I also asked about a good rom that has a good battery life and camera than the stock one.
What's your opinion about roms?What is the best based on your opinion?

If you wont be unlocking the bootlooder, you dont need the backup.Here is the thread with anything needed to get started with your phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1701644
I've never used the stock or other based on it (I use 4.3+ ROMs ), but other forum members say that Existenz is the best one out there.Currently, I am using the leaked 4.3,but it is for unlocked bootloaders.

Why would I need the list of things to scan with a NFC enabled phone?
Anyway so I will not void my warranty if i flash a custom rom and then "format" it with SEUS?

Oops..wrong link!Here s the right one : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2354704
P.S. Im not sure but I think you will still have your warranty.Back in the days, when i had my xperia x8 and it got hardbricked, I lied to my operator that it got fully discharged and it never turned on again.The trick worked and it went to Sony with a custom ROM inside of it .Anyways..today i had to revert to stock, because the tutorial for the leaked 4.3 said so, but i encountered a problem - SUS said that my phone has modified software and it didn't complete the operation.I had to flash an .ftf image file with flashtool.But after all, It was successfull.
Ehm I got a question.At the install instructions of Existenz it says
Flash the rom.
Flash NUT reboot fix: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2317432
Flash 12.0.A.2.254 kernel only with flashtool (see FAQ).
As I see NUT reboot fix is for Xperia Z...Do I need to install this?Do I also need to install .254 kernel only again?At the FAQ it says about How to flash 6.2.B.1.96 Kernel with flashtool <- but this kernel is for Z...What happens?
Should I flash the rom then reboot my phone and OK?
Should I flash the rom then reboot my phone and existenz rom opens and then flash the NUT reboot fix?
Should I flash the rom then instantly install the NUT reboot fix?
Should I also install the kernel (12.0.A.254)?
I am kinda confused :/

1. Flash ROM
1.b Reboot phone
2. Use .bat from NUT (I used it after OTArootkeeper failed and I couldn't mount /system r/w)
3. Flash the kernel with Flashtool
Step 1b and 2 depend on what you prefer, flashing the fix or rebooting and let the computer do the fix: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317432
You can use NUT for the SP. About the kernel I'm not sure. I am on LB atm.
Hope this helps (except for the kernel of course)

Well, I've no idea how much longer.. Should have been here in December..
I just bought a new xperia z when i opened it the device said there is a new update so i updated the phone however after two weeks i filled the internal storage and there is no space left so i asked my friends they told me that i need something called root which will void my warranty ( i don't really have a warranty it's an international one ) so that weekend i searched for the root but i didn't find a thing because i am 4.3 which has no root so i need some help here are my questions
1. Is there any way to root sony xperia z on 4.3 ?
2. If there is no way to root on 4.3 what should i do ?
3. If i rooted the phone what is the next step to move the apps into external sd card ?
4. I heard about something called CWM what is that ?
5. If i bricked my phone will there an easy way to fix it ?
as i mentioned i am new to android i am literally Noob so can you tell me everything as simple and detailed as possible
Thanks in Advance
1. You can just root the 4.3 if you unlock your Bootloader. That means also you loose the warranty. Rooting your phone does not void your warranty.
2. Flash a prerooted rom. There are many in the Z forum.
3. It isn't possible to move the apps to the ext. Sd-card.
4. CWM is a recovery.
5. Easy is it for guys which know what they do. But you have to know there are 2 types of bricks. A softbricked phone you can unbrick. After hardbricking a phone, you can put it in to the toilet. So if you hardbrick, it is over.

First of all i would like to thank you sir for replying
Second can you please send me a link on how to unlock the bootloader and rooting the device
Third when i was surfing i read that it's possible by using programs like link2sd and folder mount
Finally what is hard hardbricking to avoid it

First you must to be on Android 4.2.2 firmware 10.3.1.A.0.244/2.67 to root it
Rooting guide here
For unlocking bootloader is to use custom kernels / KitKat / CM ROM
For bootloader unlocking guide here
And for Link2SD i think it don't support
Lastly hardbricking means you flashed Xperia Z2 kernel / ftf on your Xperia Z,that will cause hardbricking...
1. can you send me a link on how to downgrade my firmware ?
2. Am i going to lose the apps i installed ?

Yes, you will lose all the apps who are installed. You can reinstall them later though.
Downgrading is easy, just download a 4.2.2 ftf file, for example this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/general/stock-rom-xperia-z-c6603-10-3-1-2-67-t2464364
Next is to install flashtool, and all the drivers :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/orig-development/tool-z-flashtool-version-0-9-11-0-t2162907
Then flash this .ftf file and make sure to wipe the phone
Hello there members of XDA,
I have a question, how does one remove a custom recovery off the Xperia SP?
As in, I would like to send it back to the Sony repair center as it is still under warranty. Also, any tutorial for an unlockable bootloader is appreciated

It is easy, just flash an ftf to your phone. By that way, recoveries will be removed as stock kernel were pushed into the phone.
Oh gee thanks. I thought of that but I didn't want to experiment with it as I had a lot of preconfigured system files and apps, but since you said it thanks a lot for confirming and making my doubts go away

There is an option available to uninstall recoveries in cwm touch installer v4.4.1 by dssmex
I need to send my phone back to Sony because of severe battery issues.
I used Odin 3 to root, (just root nothing else, no unlocking, nothing)
But I did install Xperia Xposed/Xposed installer whatever, and I need it off!
How do I get rid of it so it looks like I'm running stock? Please help! My warranty expires in 2 weeks exactly!!!

You will need to reflash stock Rom with FlashTools.

Is there any way that I could just uninstall it without flashing?

Short answer, Yes.
Long answer, Yes but your phone will still be obviously rooted to those that would be handling your phone for warranty issues.
So best to just remove as stated above and then re-root when you get your phone back.
Really? Even if the bootloader was never unlocked? That's really odd.
