This is called a bootloop. All you need to do is press VOL UP + POWER, then connect your phone to your computer in flashmode (connect USB while holding VOL DOWN button) and flash .534 using Flashtool

Yep, just Hold Volume Down, connect to PC and flash a Stock FTF.

No just go into recovery, flash the monxdified rom zip and then clear cache and dalvik. I have done the same thing and it works perfectly fine. You can flash any 4.3 rom in this way, as you are on the same firmware.

Monxdified, iHackers and all stock based roms don't need a custom kernel (that's why you don't need to be bootloader unlocked to use them)
Just go into your recovery flash the zip. After the zip is flashed you will get an option to clear dalvik and cache.
It is always recommended to do a factory reset before flashing a custom rom, as it might misbehave. You can however try it without factory reset and then if you see that it doesn't work properly just do a factory reset and flash the rom zip again.

I was using xzrecovery only, as I have flashed NUTs 4.3 it included xzrecovery, but it is not working & hence this question thread, as I could not post on the dev thread.
It looks to me an issue with the recovery.
Happy to try out anything if you suggest.
Thanks again for your reply.

Did you install busybox? If you did and you used a busybox installer from the Play store, it probably broke the recovery, as most of them do not install a tool that's essential for the operation of the dual recovery.

Thanks Kingvortex for your reply... No I did not install from play store, I am using the same busybox as included in the xzrecovery installer.
Thanks to NUTs he found the issue, he feels the xzdr.prop file is not read properly by the problem, after deleting that file, now I am able to boot into recovery.
Thanks again.

dual recovery is the "recovery" for your device. you can wipe data, cache,dalvik and etc on in. and using it, you can make nandroid backups, flash mods, and other fun stuff. To access it, turn you phone off. Then turn it back on, be ready because it should flash a GREEN led light suddenly, once it lights up click either up or down volume until the color changes. Down volume = TWRP, Up volume = Philz touch I THINK. not sure with the up volume. i use TWRP for backups and mods and roms.

Root Z1. KitKat 4.4.X
Hello everybody!
I am a new member here and i would like to share how i root my Xperia Z1 (C6903) KitKat 4.4.4. Version 14.4.A.0.108 with
stock Firmware and locked bootloader.
So, i have tried to root my phone with different flashtools, installed drivers etc etc but no luck. Finally i came over this page;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z1/development/newroot-z1-t2807092
First: I disabled any antivirus, malwareprogram it can give a false viruswarning and remove the file. I extracted the program Newroot to my desktop (How to find the program see above link).
On the phone: I went to settings/about the phone, scrolled down to the bottom to: Version, tapped version several times (for me 7 times) and a popup comes up and say you are now a developer. Now i set the developer options to ON and enabled USB-debugging. As default i also have enabled installation from unknown resources and unchecked the box Verifying apps. (Settings/SecurityUnknown resources/Verifying apps).
Now, I connected my phone to the PC with the USB-cable. Started the program Newroot from desktop, in the popup of the program i see that option "Check this to root your phone" is set by default. Now i just hit proced button and the rooting started, kept an eye on my phone and the phone rebooted. That was all and i had rooted phone with the superuser app in the apps section! :victory:. For some users first root does not work properly. If not sure you have completely root, check root with: Check Root. You can find it on Google store here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.avaranasoftware.checkroot
If there is any error-messages, or if it says that busybox is not installed, use the Newroot program again to Unroot the phone instead. After unroot use Newroot program again to Root your phone. After reboot check again with Check Root, now everything should be fine. and both superuser app and busybox should be installed.
Good luck!
Note: Above is only a description of how i successfully rooted my phone. So i don´t take any responsibility for any eventual problems for others who root their phone.
Huge thanks to munjeni for this awesome program! :highfive:

In CWM Recovery: if i choose wipe data/factory reset, will it unroot the phone and apply factory settings, same state as before rooting the phone?

So if i unroot the phone first, and then access recovery mode and choose that option, will it be the same as factory reset and i can use warranty of the phone if needed?

If you unroot the phone you will lose recovery.
If you want to unroot the easiest way is just to flash a stock FTF using flashtool.
And rooting does not void the warranty, only unlocking the bootloader does that

Now a couple of days i used the Newroot tool. I have installed some utilities with functions that requires root. Root Manager app says i have the Clockworkmod and most functions in that program does not work, and Titanium backup pro complains that my CVM- Superuser program can cause some functions to work improperly, and i should update my binaries to SuperSU for the program to work properly.
I installed SuperSU and in recoverymode i got the question if i wanted to "install the untrusted SuperSU Zip and this can not be undone". I chose no because i was not sure what could happen so i reboot the phone and after that i was not rooted anymore, i checked with root checker and my programs that requires root did not function. So i rooted the phone again with Newroot and i got root again and all problems were gone, root access was granted to all programs that required root, except for root manager...
So i googled about Clockworkmod and that mod is rarely used for the Z1-model, most used for Samsung and HTC.
So i wonder if i backup all my data via PC-Companion, can i choose "repair the phone" and it will turn back the phone to it´s original state?
Or do i have to flash the phone myself with a stock rom? I have search for my stock rom everywhere and i cannot find it. But with PC-Companion is it possible to return the phone to it´s original state?

Successfully returned it to factory state. Pressed *#*#7378423#*#* and checked, and everything is exactly as it was when i was rooted, so i assume the Newroot prog did nothing to my phone except for rooting it and installed recovery?
Anyway, maybe i will root my phone again now when i know it is possible to turn it back to stock to get the benefits from root.
Huge thanks gregbradley you made my day! :good: :victory:

No worries.
Yes the newroot process only roots the phone, it does nothing to the bootloader

There is no stock recovery on xperia phones

Only time it has recovery when you do an system update, after system update is done it gets erased as it has no use

1. Did you really have installed the Recovery.
2. Have any Crash or Error when installing recovery.
3. If Installed XZDual Recovery from NUT try his XZDR-removaltool to remove the recovery.
4. Install the latest XZDR to your Z1 /Recommend use the computer method to install the xzdr to your phone.
Check his Thread Click Me!
NUT's website Click XZDualRecovery > Toolbox > You will find the tool call XZDR-removaltool.zip
Thx to the Master NUT for creating the Dual Recovery
