Hi, I have a question. A had a rooted Z1. I had to give it to service and now it is unrooted. Obviously. I am on 14.4.A.0.157 now. My question is whether I should wait for official Lollipop update? Will I be able to root then? Or should I root now? I won't receive the official update then most probably. I just would like to add I just want root, not custom ROM now. Thanks for advice.
update using flashable zip and stripped ftf like how it used to be done
Thanks. Will this still work after official Lollipop update?
I haven't go to try it yet, but waiting on feedback, I posted the zip and ftf stripped

Can someone explain me the process of reverting back to 4.3? I just have a lot of problems with 4.4.2 (touch screen issues and my battery is half as good as it was with 4.3 .290).
What should i do? Just download a 4.3 .290 TFT and flash it with FlashTool? Also i would like to root 4.3 .290?
Help, thanks!
In order to root it, just follow the link in my signature on how to get root on Kitkat, but instead of flashing a pre rooted KK rom, flash a pre rootrd 4.3 rom.
Done,
You can not directly root 4.3
Also, now I have ANSWERED your QUESTION I have asked the mods to move this thread to the QUESTION and ANSWER section
Can you link me where i can download pre rooted 4.3 .290 rom?
It's important to be .290 coz i found it to be the best!

BTW, I will recommend .136 instead of .290.

Where did you read that? ..lol..
It was .290 with problems, not .136, it's up to you. I have .136 and no problem at all.
I haven't faced any single problem with .290 so i think ill stick with that one, battery life was insane.

Since Greenify doesn't requires root anymore, i don't need root.
So in order do downgrade i just need to flash 4.3 TFT with FlashTool and that's it?

Is that the official Sony ftf? Will a phone recieve official Sony updates after doing that? What would happen to any apk that was installed on rooted Z1 after flashing lollipop?
Im trying to upgrade my Note 4 N910T to Lollipop 5.0.1. I've been looking around and haven't found a straight answer. Don't really care if I lose root. I just want the Upgrade. CAN SOMEONE HELP?
And I'm guessing you don't have access to Odin/PC or Mac? Then the only way is for someone to upload a Twrp backup of a lollipop stock based rom. That might work.

U need odin till someone makes a zip to update all. Baseband boot and rom. That would be a huge risk. Get to a pc and use odin.

Check it out.
Good luck!

No, that is just the Kernel, You need to flash the entire Firmware. Remember this is an entirely different OS.
Check out pop rocks forum in development. Has stock rom and auto root with how to.
hey guys,
I have g900a with 4.4.2 and i'm looking to update it to 4.4..4. i don't want to use odin or anything, so i'm just looking for the stock firmware.
i tried looking for it myself but couldn't find working links. thanks in advance!
p.s: if someone happens to have lolipop stock(!) unrooted firmware it might come to aid at a later stage. currently i just want to update to 4.4.4.
thanks in advance!
Can anybody please tell me about any one click or any easy root method for xperia z1 C6902 android 5.1.1?
Or else just tell me how to downgrade my phone to 5.0.2
I am new to this forum so if i have said anything incorrect please forgive me.
And thanks in advance.
And also provide links if you know how to downgrade to 5.0.2
There is no way to directly root Z1 lolipop 5.1.1. You have to downgrade (to Kitkat 4.4.2 is the best), get your z1 rooted, install recovery then update it to pre-rooted lolipop 5.1.1
Use Xperia Flashtool to downgrade or upgrade firmware.
Thanks for the reply.
Can u list the steps and the links and
Also please tell me how can I downgrade to 5.0.2 lollipop.
no do not downgrade to 5.0.2 since its awful to root because you need to change from kingroot to supersu... just downgrade to 4.4.2 and install nut's recovery and it will root it for you in the process... then flash prerooted 5.1.1. and you're golden
Okay. Thanks for the reply.
Can you list the steps and the links?
You know I am just a little new.
Thanks in advance.

First downgrade to .108 and root it.
Install dual recovery by NUT
Download .368 prerooted zip
Flash that zip via recovery. Good luck
