Hi all want to get latest stock KitKat 4.4.4 to start my experience with XZ will move on to custom recovery/Roms later
Should I use flashtool or PCcompanion?
I have so far rooted using Towelroot ...but I think Towelroot will no longer work after flashing 4.4.4
taking this very slowly so as not to screw anything up straight away...I'm used to flashing Galaxy S2/S3 in my sleep
Flash it with flashtool for cleaner installation. But backup your data.
To root there is a guide in general section for how to root on locked bootloader.

If your device rooted use this https://play.google.com/store/apps/...ackup&pcampaignid=APPU_36seVI2WDerjywPQ-4KYCg
If not so root it with towelroot app and use it
But don't select the system apps (red highlighted) in the app

I watched a video of a guy rooting his Xperia z and noticed he had a live walpaper that moved like the Playstation.
Does anyone know where I could find this? I tried looking in the play store with no luck.

Found what I was looking for, its called wave on the play store
Yesterday I installed Cyanogenmod through the instructions of their Wiki by flashing the boot.img included in the .zip through Minimal ADB and Fasboot and then installing the .zip through CWM. When my phone first booted, I had double tap to wake, but then when I installed Gapps and inserted my SIM and MicroSD, the feature was gone. How do I regain it?
Install any kernel control app from play store and you will see OFF and ON option

I had to disable double tap to wake up as I found it was always activating when the phone was in my pocket and trying to either make phone calls or do something from inadvertently waking up due to phone movement in my pocket

The ROOTING have NO difference on ANY ROOTING method that people use
If ROOTING your device with towelroot is fine so don't try anything else to ROOT again because you may get bad things you don't want to see

So nowtv should work using rootcloak then?
Just try it yourself already!
The Xposed framework works without issue on our device, so just install it and the rootcloak module and you'll find out if it works for the app you're having trouble with.

There was only that one app that won't work with root, all my others work with root so couldn't check it
So, month or so ago, I got Xperia Z from my brother. At that time it was on 4.2.2, so I flashed Generic 4.4.2 ftf on it right away. What I noticed is that "about" says that phone model is C6603, which is LTE model, but as I remember it was C6602, which is regular model. Also on the lower part of the phone there is printer that its C6602 and today I also checked Imei, which again says it's C6602. So what happened? Which model it really is? Did flashing wrong rom did anything or is it dangerous for phone in any way?
P.S. There is no LTE in my country so I can't test it.

Yes, I guessed there is nothing dangerous, but still, my phone shouldn't have LTE, but software says NO

Hello,
I have an Xperia Z1 that has died. I've got a device protection plan so the good news is a replacement is on its way. However when it arrives I will have to return the dead phone. My question is the following: is it possible to erase data from an Xperia Z1 that won't turn on? I've had the phone for a while and, of course, there is tons of personal data on the device and I'd like to ensure that information is protected.
It should be noted that the phone is also not accessible from my PC and that technicians have suggested it likely cannot be repaired (hence the replacement.)
Any advice is greatly appreciated as I've been unable to locate an answer.
Many thanks :good:

Hi
If the device is completely DEAD so there is no way to turn it on again. That means there is no way to access those data. You can't delete them and no one can see them because the phone is DEAD.

Actually that's not true. Motherboard is dead but Sony can repair it, and if internal storage is not damaged they can se the data. Sometimes official repair center can get repaired motherboard for spare parts, that's the reason why you must take back dead phone to them. But good news is that they erase internal storage completly if they repair motherboard. I worked in Sony repair center so I know that for sure.
