[Q] New Z1 Straight Out Of The Box. Now What? - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
Just got my brand new Z1 (C6903), SIM and bootloader unlocked (SI 1276-0471.2), and have booted it for the first time. It is running 14.1.G.1.518, shows 1 system OTA system update available to 14.2.A.0.290 and a number of OTA app updates available.
I'd like to root, install custom recovery (preferably dual) and back up the phones original state including TA partition, then move on to updating to a 4.4 Kitkat build, probably stock as I will leave the bootloader locked for the moment.
Despite having worked on (rooted etc.) 2x Xperia SPs, I have read through the many Z1 rooting threads and ultimate guides and I have no idea where to start. Most rooting threads start with downgrading, which I shouldn't need to do, there are usually multiple methods for each firmware version and most don't seem to root the currently installed ROM (especially the newer firmware versions), they require a ftf file (of unknown SI number) flashed over the current ROM. There doesn't seem to be a way to retain a firmware version with the correct SI number for my phone.
I think I read that Bin4ry's rooting method is the best for this firmware. Is that right? The dual recovery seems as though it could be problematic, will it be overwritten when I update or flash an ftf file? Once I root the original .518 firmware etc. what do I do next to get to rooted Kitkat (.757)? Is it possible to get a rooted 4.4 stock ROM with the same SI number? Should I actually be bother with such details?
I could really use some clear advice on the best way to proceed.
This is what you need to get to a 4.4.2 or 4.4.3 ROM with Root. For 4.4.4 look further down the post. This is for locked bootloaders.
Code:
For unlocked bootloaders on ANY FW just flash a custom kernel of your choice suitable for the FW you are on then install chainfires SuperSU either from the play store or from his website in a flashable zip (Google it)
1) Flash any FTF file ending in 534 (Find files and instructions in the mega collection thread in the general section)
2) Install the latest dual recovery (Find files and instructions in the XZDR dual recovery in the cross device development section)
3) Install a pre rooted 4.4 ROM of your choice (Find files and instructions in the development section)
No need to root, no need to unlock the bootloader, hence also no need to back up the TA partition.
At the end of the process you will be on KitKat and rooted.
Here is @shem2409 brand new video showing you step by step how to root and install the newest recovery on bootloader locked Sony Xperia Z1 Android 4.4 based on [NUT]'s guide:
For 4.4.4 just update to 4.4.4 via PCCompanion or flashtool and then look at this

Many Thanks for the swift response, thats about as clear as it gets. But I did notice most ROM's install instructions say to root 534 before installing recovery and most require a kernel only ftf to be flashed after flashing ROM. Should I follow the ROM's install instructions?
Just for my own knowledge, there is a Generic UK 534 firmware ftf listed but not with the same SI number as mine. Should I worry about never being able to return the phone to full "just-out-of-the-box" condition?
If you do not install dual recovery then you will have to root the 534 firmware
Installing dual recovery on 534 roots the firmware at the same time
You can flash any 534 FTF as long as its for your model of phone (C6902/3/6 etc), the SI number does not matter
As my instructions said at each step you will find files and instructions in the relevant threads, please follow them.
i upgraded it to .757, then installed doomkernel and flashed supersu.zip...thats my rooting method on qct based devices ^^

On unlocked bootloader that's the best way, but for those that choose to not unlock, or cannot unlock then they need the above method

Thanks again, that dual recovery is a godsend. Much like yourself. Couldn't find any details on what Wipe and Exclude options to set in flashtool for the 534 flash. Seems logical to exclude TA but I don't know.
I have read some stuff about losing IMEI when flashing with flashtool but that seems to occur when downgrading.

Hi,
I flashed the FTF file ending in 534 but now my phone is just continuously rebooting, is this normal? How long does it take?
Thanks

It shouldn't bootloop
Make sure you picked the right 534 file
it should be the same one for your phone
i.e. c6902 or c6903 or c6906
Just flash another one

I'm now on step 2. If I'm not mistaken, I just have the phone plugged in with a USB cable and then run the install batch file?
yes
Hi,
I'm having some difficulty on flashing 0.757 using TWRP. I select the file and press flash but my phone just reboots.
Any ideas?

Sorry, I'm completely new at this. What's CMW and where do I get it?
You already have it if (It may be called philz on your phone)
Just reboot and press volume up instead of volume down to go into Philz/CMW recovery
Thanks gregbradley. Your advice was spot on. Especially big thanks for explaining everything so well, it made it easy. Have installed Xposed and set about tweaking 757. Its looking real good.

Sorry to quote the whole thing..
1. U say flash any FTF - Any FTF or Stripped FTF of the same device model will do?
2. If i flash Generic FTF then I wont be having Root and Recovery then How am i gonna install Dual Recovery?
Also i know its not related but can u suggest me.. My phone is unable to focus.. I was on AOSP ROMs from so long.. Now i flashed NUT Stock ROM 757 via Recovery and Everything is smooth and good except the Camera is not Focussing..
I read somewhere that if Running Camera Problems then downgrade to 534 and do the whole process and then Come to 757.. Is it true?
Also we need a Good Tutorial for Coming to AOSP from STOCK and Vise versa with proper links and Support can u do it? Because i have seen People who come to AOSP from Stock run into different types of problems, mostly the solution is Downgrading and Doing the whole process.. I know u have the knowledge to do that what say?

The way to root is easy if you read. You downgrade to a 434 kernel with flash tool, run the root and upgrade back again with flash tool, easy. Don't need to unlock or anything. Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk 4

Confirmation on way to root
Can please someone confirm this will work? 1. Downgrade to JB 4.2.2 14.1.G.1.534 2. Install locked dualrecovery 2.7.97 BETA 3. Flash KK 4.4.0 14.3.A.0.681 4.

Flash with CWM supeSU Now, my question is: since I could install dualrecovery for unlocked bootloader, to avoid ulocking bootloader, why not downgrade, flash dualrecovery, upgrade and flash su?

But once you downgrade, root and install recovery you just flash a pre rooted 4.4 rom... The one from NUT is made from a stock ftf file with the relevant root files added to it. I don't see the issue. As for unlocking, read the information on the sony website about it. You have to unlock using that site anyway. You will lose warranty and drm keys. However, to be able to lock again you need to back up your TA partition otherwise you lose the drm keys forever. Now to do that you must have root, so you are going to have to downgrade and root anyway Sent from my C6903 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Cheeky question
Is there a way to flash (using flashtool) a FTF of the latest ROM that has is rooted and has a customer recovery. I'm on the latest update of 4.4.2 but am a little nervous about playing round too much in terms of loading recovery onto it. A flashtool flash would be much easier.

You can flash the Recovery on Locked and Unrooted Android. Download TWRP .zip and Install. Now you have the recovery. Also you can unlock bootlader and flash an Advanced Kernel with Implemented Recovery, Done. BTW, before attempt to Unlock Bootlader I will recommend to Backup TA first, then Unlock.

you cannot flash anything other than FTF files in flashmode with flashtool, and you cannot make any changes to FTF files like you suggest The way to get to a rooted 4.4.2 rom is this Flash a FTF file ending in .534 using flashtool (Look in the mega collection thread) Install dual recovery (Look in the cross device development section) Flash a pre rooted 4.4.2 rom (Look in the development section) All download and instructions will be in the OP of the relevant threads

Explanationon how to use Flashtool
Before 7.1.1 came out there was a full explanation on how to use flashtool to flash an ftf file and what files you needed to flash afterwards to gain root and custom recovery. There was an update on how to do it for OS 7.0. This thread seems to be gone. Can somebody show me this thread again? I'm trying to update to 7.1.1 and with a workaround this should be possible with flashtool but nothing works for me. When I want to reflash the latest 7.0 flashtool very quickly says it's done, leaving my phone softbricked. I know I can use sony's flashtool to install 7.1.1 but how to proceed then to gain root, twrp and another kernel, is there some explanation on how to do this or is there something else than flashtool (androxydes or sony's) to flash the firmware?
same problem, someone please tell us..:crying:

I'm trying to update to 7.1.1 and with a workaround this should be possible with flashtool but nothing works for me. When I want to reflash the latest 7.0 flashtool very quickly says it's done, leaving my phone softbricked. I know I can use sony's flashtool to install 7.1.1 but how to proceed then to gain root, twrp and another kernel, is there some explanation on how to do this or is there something else than flashtool (androxydes or sony's) to flash the firmware? Click to expand... Click to collapse If you want to flash 7.1.1 firmwares using Flshtool by Androxyde, since there's still no fsc file for 7.1.1 (41.2.A.X.XXX), so you will encounter a warning message "WARN - No loader found or set manually. Skipping loader." To solve this problem, first open your Flashtool and wait for it to sync device database. Second, go to C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\.flashTool\devices\F81XX rename the file "39.fsc" to "41.fsc" Then Flashtool can flash 7.1.1 firmwares successfully. NOTICE: Once you closed Flashtool, you need to do things above again. I just found that Androxyde has uploaded the FSC script 21 hours ago. So you don't need extra actions now. Just use Flashtool as usual and it may work.
