I've just recently come to Sony Z1, and keen to get into custom stuff.
My previous HTC one X was regularly flashed to install new kernels etc.
Is the adb/fastboot software generic to all androids, or do I need to install adb specific to Z1?
Thanks in advance for your insight.

Just install fastboot/flashtool drivers for Z1...
Simple way is to download flashtool and start installation from drivers folder.
ADB is generic, yes...

Download the drivers and software in LG website. Install it in your PC.
And turn on usb debugging

check if platform modem is enabled in peripherals manager while phone is pluged
Try deleting drivers of lg and reboot pc and reinstall again and
If you have not installed the lg Driver in past it is must be installed

in some rome which is based on lg official version it will update but it will make your phone with lg official rom
in case you are using cm 7 or other which are not lg rom officialy as base it will not update.
but if update in case of custom rom based on lg official rom you will lose root etc.
you will have latest lg official rom
Another question are there a special dricer for OB with cm7

Nope. There isn't. Its the same. Its stilk Android... and there is no need for an adb driver. You can root the easy way with THE BIG NOOB HOW TO! thread in OB General Category.

hi
does anyone know how to install cwm recovery for locked bootloader xz... via mac?
thanks
Just had a quick search on Google and it doesn't really seam possible, maybe you might want to look into a cheap windows os, a lot of prompts we use, use windows cmd. Have you not got another computer you can use

He is trying to root. He cannot flash boot.img with a locked bootloader.
Bin4ry or doomlord should work, if they don't there is another problem

No, the point of an ftf is that it is stock Sony.

.I want root my XZ with any app (without pc). Please help.
not possible
C6603 ?
I think it would be possible, if you ask me, but you would have to execute all the commands from your phone, by hand.
Very risky though. If you make a mistake you could brick your phone and have to reflash using a pc.
Not recommended!!
Also you would need some knowledge about how android works, before you try anything.
Just use a pc. That's a lot safer and way easier

Actually you need a PC anyway, actual rooting method implies downgrading the kernel, rooting, and upgrading the kernel. You need a PC to down/upgrade the kernel.
Well, you're right, in the case of newest firmware. Older firmware doesn't an need old kernel, so it would be possible.
But for .67 firmware, yes you really need a pc.
Didn't consider that since I'm on unlocked bootloader, so don't need difficult rooting processes

Well, you need a PC to unlock the bootloader and flash rooted kernels, and actually the last two firmwares need kernel downgrading on locked bootloaders, .244 and .67. Sorry i'm just beeing picky
Ask me how do it.If it will easy for me I do it.
Sent from my C6602 using xda app-developers app
Well he only wants root, so unlocked bootloader isn't the subject here, neither are the rooted kernels.
I thought 244 was rootable without kernel flash, but i believe you in that..

Hi xdaorxan,
Your question has been moved from the General section to the Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting section. Please post in the correct sub-forums in future.

I'm unsure if this is the correct place to post this topic.
After a few searches, I have come up with a few links on XDA For the stock Sony Ericsson Rom for my SP
The reason i'm looking for this, is that I am going to root my phone, but everything i've seen required another rom/firmware to be flashed onto the drive. So as a fail safe, I want to rest in piece that I have a OEM Rom which I can restore back too incase it goes balls up
Could anyone direct me to reputable releases for this ROM?
Look in Xperia SP Android development section. There are shared many .ftf Files.

Im wondering; is there not a place where we can find all the files? Diffrent OS versions etc? Like Samsungupdates.com

You can make your own with pc companion and flashtool. Then you can be certain you have the right Rom. Some of us have faced issues with using Ron's with different customization versions.
Also, there's a couple of 1 click root tools now available that don't require tinkering with kernels.
