[Q] Noob question, what to root my C6606 to? rom, kernal? etc - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi I'd really appreciate some help! I'm totally lost. I need someone to PLEASE explain some of this to me like i'm 5!
I've been trying for hours to understand what steps to take in getting a working 4.4.4 version on my Xperia Z and i'm close to giving up.
I've followed the guide and unlocked my bootloader successfully. Here's what it shows about my phone:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I'm reading and reading different forums on what's next and its not clicking with my thick head for some reason.
How do I get to a stable version? Can I install something like Cyanogenmod and is there a latest version?
Any help would be so so nice!

Please post questions in the Q&A section

[Q] Error message while trying to root stock 2.3.4 (V20L)

Hi guys.
I'm posting here since I just joined the forum and I cannot post in the development thread yet.
This is the error I got trying to root my official LG 2.3.4 V20L Optimus 2X:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Any idea what it could mean?
Thankfully the phone didn't get bricked, although the screen was on and telling me that SW was being upgraded.
Thanks in advance!

I just read the whole thread for the third time and I didn't see any mention to this error.
When you say something like this, what exactly do you mean? Could you please show me the specific post to which you are referring?

waiting for your kind reply for how to get it updated
many thanks in advance
Read dr ketans thread and use odin to flash ics.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
thanks mate,
but, where can i find the one that belongs to me?
also>> is there any tutorial which i can use to do like what it says?
thanks in advance
There's Dr.ketan's guide on how to change roms but you should do more reading imo.And you can't upgrade OTA when you're rooted.You can choose whatever rom you want from any region based on your needs(language maybe) but try the latest roms released as they've fixed some bugs.
You don't need any specific rom for your device. Just check which rom you like the most from the Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development subforum and follow the instructions.
I think you should read these thread before installing anything http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1633943
Hi 7esain, i am from Egypt and i was able to upgrade my phone using WIFI without any problems, but u should refer to the post that perri.etb told u to refer to.
and FYI i liked the ICS too much but the battery life is shorter and the recorded sound quality is not as good as it was in Ginger Bread.
Good luck

[Q] Install OTA with rooted device.

I bought my HTC one a day ago, soon as I powered it up I rooted the device to use titanium backup properly.
After a few hours I realised that I was running 4.1.2 and there is a 4.2.2 out (I believe).
The OTA update didn't find anything. So here are my questions, assuming that the OTA update doesn't find anything because I unlocked the bootloader and rooted.
Is there anyway to update my phone to 4.2.2 or 4.2.1 without having to unroot, lock bootloader and wipe?
If not, will unlocking the bootloader again after OTA wipe the device the downgrade it to 4.1.2?
If yes, how? How can I update this device to the latest version?
I know I can install custom roms, but I actually like the default rom look and feel. But I want the latest version, since there are some nice changes in the latest versions.
Secondary question, when investigating this, my software versions below, match up with the following RUU:
RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.29.707.3_R_Radio_4A .14.3250.13_10.33.1150.01_release_311678_signed
But I bought my phone in the UK, Shouldn't it be the Europe version? I don't mind, since it's working. But it's just confusing me. I would have assumed it would be this version I require:
RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.7_Radio_4A.13. 3231.27_10.31.1131.05_release_310878_signed.
My current software:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Any advice on this is appreciate, since the phone is so new, I don't want to screw it up by flashing the wrong thing.
Sorry for asking a question which no doubt has been asked a million times.:crying:

[Q] Rooting Moto X (XT1052 Europe, 4.4.4)

Hello everybody,
I am totally new with the unlocking bootloader/rooting process (except for my Memopad 7 ME572C that I rooted just by using an .apk). So I hope my question won't look to stupid and that it's not already answered. I browsed the guide thread which was a great help !
I understood the main process, unlocking bootloader, then every step to get to the root but here is the question :
I couldn't find any CWM recovery (listed here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/development/xt10xx-philz-touch-t2612149) that would be compatible with my device. Here is the information about my phone :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If no dedicated CWM recovery is avalaible, would another do the job ?
Thanks !
Nearly all the root processes for a 2013 X with unlocked bootloader suggests using TWRP.
Download the latest TWRP Recovery from -> http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/234 (under the Download-Fastboot heading)
Hey Waxa93!
Did you ever get your Moto XT1052 Rooted? I've got the same phone on 4.4.4 and am pretty confused as to whether our bootloader is even unlockable?

Yes, you should be able to unlock the XT1052 bootloader.

Thanks a lot KidJoe! I actually have a vague memory of reading that post quite some time ago and chickening out due to the warranty void. Think it's time to take the plunge. Thanks again!

This is no explanation!
Last attempt: Clearly describe all the steps you did.
How did you flash/rollback, etc.pp.
Otherwise I'm out.
