EDIT: I also tried to install BETA-SuperSU-v2.23.zip vis recovery but it says
"Install Failed

use twrp recovery to install SuperSU-v2.23.zip, or check the SuperSu app in the phone to see if you have blocked adb in the app by mistake

Strange since the script says "Device detected: C5303 (12.0.A.1.257)"
I have a locked bootloader since I read that it shouldn't be a problem
EDIT: Even more strange. Now after the second time doing this my phone seem to be rooted. Will try to flash 2.254
Sometimes it takes 2 goes to flash successfully

Root Xperia Z1 (4.4.4 official), install recovery

Hello Sirs,
First of all, I did search about this topic and I couldn't find the answers I'm look for. (may be my search skills are so bad). I apologize if there is already a thread related to this.
So here is my issue.
1. Updated my Xperia Z1 (India) to official 4.4.4 update via OTA. I rooted the phone using EasyRootTool_v8. Everything looked good and I used root uninstaller app to uninstall Walkman (before backing up). Now I need it back because I felt Walkman 8.4.A.1.4 works better. So I tried to get it back by downloading the same exact walkman APK and put it in system folder with full permission and restarted the phone and that got installed. But everytime I restart the phone it says "Android is upgrading". After this when I try to open walkman it says "Unfortunately walkman has stopped"
2. So I tried to install the Dual Recovery and it says success, but with read only errors. The reason why I needed recovery it to flash everything from scratch and go back to 100% official built so walkman would work.
Here are the results of EasyRootTool v8 and Dual Recovery:

First, correct me if I'm wrong. Walkman 8.4.A.1.4 is on Android 4.4.3, isn't it?
I don't think so. But I received this update for Walkman only after updating to 4.4.4. By the way. I managed to root install the recovery successfully. Just waiting for the stock rom download to complete so I can flash it.

So, get a backup of your phone, and then flash it again
That's the best way

After flashing by flash tools, you'll lose your root access, I think
But you can lock your boot loader and then try again

Z1 boots but cant boot into recovery or bootloader

Hey guys,
i have rooted many phones before, however i am having a problem with a previously rooted Sony Z1.
The previous happenings:
I rooted the device by unlocking the bootloader on the sony site. I then loaded on clockwork recovery and slapped cyanogen mod on it.
The phone was fine and working nicely, but recently stopped updating Cyanogen mod. I attempted to boot into recovery to install the latest version but all combinations of button pushing lead to nothing for a good few seconds before it starts to boot back into cyanogenmod again.
I tried using apps and various other methods to boot into fastboot, recovery and bootloader but it all goes right back into the OS.
I now have no way of updating the OS and tried using ADB to load on recovery again. ADB can see the device, and pushes successfully but when trying to boot into it, again, it does nothing but go back to the OS.
Can anyone give me a hand in popping on a recovery and somehow installing the latest Cyanogen back on? This is by far the biggest pain in the butt phone to root to begin with, but any help is much appreciated.

I've ran into almost exactly the same issue. Only difference is that I'm yet to install a custom ROM.
If anyone has a solution it would be greatly appreciated.

I'm on the stock Vodafone rom.
I've tried running the dual recovery again it says it succeeds but I still can't boot into flash mode.
The weird thing is that I previously could.
I've also tried flashing boot.img but still no luck
Any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

You do not need recovery or root to enter flashmode. Flashmode is a boot mode that completely stock phones can boot into in order to perform updates via PCCompanion

I'm not sure how to quote inline as you just did but:
- Yes I've rooted the phone
- You're right I'm mixing things up. I can't enter recovery I can go to flash mode. (blue led)
- No I haven't unlocked the boot loader
- Dual fails on my Mac, I will boot into my windows install and come back with the output.
Thanks for your time.

Wrong, Blue LED is fastboot, green LED is flashmode. This may be your issue.

Use any root explorer and goto system and try to create a file or folder. If you are not mounted as RW it will prompt you to do so. Let me know if you can create a file or folder in the system partition

That should be ok and install dual recovery. The issue is getting the system to be RW. Try running it again and use option 3.

Ok, so I
1. flashed .108
2. rooted user dualrecovery
3. verified permissions by creating a new file in system and recovery was working fine.
I then tried to install darkCM per instructions but after flashing in recovery the phone wont boot.
It will just show a a blinking red LED when it's on a charger.
The only way I could find to fix it was to install stock vodafone firmware.
I retried the above twice with the same result, I hope I'm not to much a nuisance but if you could help me any further i'd appreciate it.:good:

[GUIDE] [Locked Bootloader] [10.6.A.0.454] How to root and install XZDualRecovery

Hi guys,
I also tested some method like a PRFCreator and after some fails and bootloops I got root on my C5503. Should work on C5502 too, but I dont have it, so you tell me if work.
DISCLAIMER: I'm not responsible for anyone bricking their phones. By using this tutorial and any of it's content you accept that you may be flashing system critical aspects of your mobile device, and things can go wrong. By using this guide you agree to put your phone at risk in the hope of fixing it, and you take full responsibility.
If You want keep data use TitaniumBackup before flashing.
If not on rooted stock rom with recovery
1) Flash old KK stock rom via FlashTool (I recommend 10.5.A.0.230 - Can be download HERE!)
2) Make sure you have enabled USB-Debugging
3) Run XZDualRecovery installer on PC (Download HERE!)
4) Choose "3" and hit enter, if is device ask for trust PC touch yes of course​
If already on rooted stock rom with recovery
5) Download PRE-ROOTED rom for your xperia (C5503 or C5502)
6) Download XZDualRecovery flashable zip (HERE!)
7) Place downloaded zip's to your external SD card
8) Restart your phone and boot into recovery
9) FULL WIPE your phone (System, Cache, everything...)(don't external SD Card of course )

Reacting to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-zr/general/ub-how-to-root-10-6-0-454-lollipop-t3114666
Inspired by this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/general/stock-c6602-customized-10-6-0-454-t3114152
1-You need old stock room with working root and recovery (if u havent rooted firmware flash firmware .230, it is good for easy rooting by towelroot)
2-Download PRFCreator, XperiFirm and Flashtool
3-Download SuperSU (https://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip)
4-Download firmware for your phone (using XperiFirm)
5-Create FTF using Flashtool (Tools->Bundles->Create and here move all thigs from folder list to firmware content)
6-Open PRFCreator and here put your created FTF, downloaded SuperSU.zip, check all thigs and click Create
7-After finished copy your new created zip firmware to your sd card
8-Boot into recovery on your old rooted rom (I used Philztouch)
9-Wipe all caches (I also format system partition)
10-Instal your lollipop zip rom from sdcard
11-Enjoy rooted Android 5.0.2
I dont have recovery now, I tryed include it to rom by PRFCreator and get bootloop, so react if some get working recovery.
EDIT: Do not try install or flash XZDualRecovery after upgrade to Lollipop, it made bootloop because there is some problem with SELinux
EDIT2: Added download links
EDIT3: Updated with working XZDualRecovery
Hope you understand my terrible English

Hi,
download xperifirm http://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/pc-xperifirm-xperia-firmware-downloader-t2834142 open it and from list select your phone and model. After select your device click on "Check all". After xperifirm finish work find customization with 10.6.A.0.454 Latest Release (for example HK - Honk Kong). Under PayPal logo you will see available firmwares so click on 10.6.A.0.454 and start download.
I'm getting an error when I open super su saying that no binary is installed and that I would have to manually re root..
I used the beta super su update.zip version 2.23 Does that make a difference?
And is there any way to resolve the error?

You must 1st have old firmware on your smartphone (for ZR 10.5.A.0.230), then use this installer, that root your old firmware and install recovery, and from this recovery you install your created prerooted lollipop rom.

I think you must do wipe before installing lollipop rom, because for examle in my case, recovery from old rom doing bootloop after upgrade. That is also reason why i dont have recovery now (anyway I dont need), because after install recovery system get into bootloop.
I recommend to you use TitaniumBackup first, backup your apps, and after install lollipop restore it back.

To get recovery after root can't you use the lockeddualrecovery installer, connect your phone to pc and then run the. bat file? It used to work on kitkat...
