Best way is reading.........
There are alot of prerooted roms avaible in android development section

Well , yes, very nearly helpful. Most of them have recoveries included ( all in ones) and some can't be flashed over older firmwares. So which one would be best?

1. Create a pre-rooted flashable zip using PRFC (using the 5.1.1 FW, latest superSU zip, and the flashable dual recovery zip).
2. Stick that into your internal storage.
3. Flash the 5.1.1 pre-rooted zip through dual recovery.
4. Power off your phone.
5. Use flashtool and flash the non-rooted 5.1.1 FW (while making sure "system" is clicked under the exclude option).
6. Once it's finished flashing, you'll have a pre-rooted 5.1.1.

Does this method also keep the dual recovery intact?

With every flash, allinones or self made recovery will always be overwritten. On z3c we dont have a "static" recovery

Yeah, it keeps dual recovery because you're creating a pre-rooted FW with dual recovery and superSU into it when you create it using PRFCreator, so essentially you're just overwriting the same dual recovery onto your device that already has the same dual recovery.
Short answer, yes. It'll keep dual recovery intact.

Create a flashable zip of the ftf file I is to create?
Isn't the ftf the only thing needed? A bit confused, sorry.
I have my xperia tab 311 all rooted and unlocked bootloader which I did a while back.
Now I forget what I used..... how do I know if I have dual recovery to use this update? apologies for the stupid question....

I have a same problem
It's a bug in the last version of DualRecovery....2.71....
I was on 370 rooted and all is working fine, I'm on 109 root perfect

[Q] New Z1 Straight Out Of The Box. Now What?

Just got my brand new Z1 (C6903), SIM and bootloader unlocked (SI 1276-0471.2), and have booted it for the first time. It is running 14.1.G.1.518, shows 1 system OTA system update available to 14.2.A.0.290 and a number of OTA app updates available.
I'd like to root, install custom recovery (preferably dual) and back up the phones original state including TA partition, then move on to updating to a 4.4 Kitkat build, probably stock as I will leave the bootloader locked for the moment.
Despite having worked on (rooted etc.) 2x Xperia SPs, I have read through the many Z1 rooting threads and ultimate guides and I have no idea where to start. Most rooting threads start with downgrading, which I shouldn't need to do, there are usually multiple methods for each firmware version and most don't seem to root the currently installed ROM (especially the newer firmware versions), they require a ftf file (of unknown SI number) flashed over the current ROM. There doesn't seem to be a way to retain a firmware version with the correct SI number for my phone.
I think I read that Bin4ry's rooting method is the best for this firmware. Is that right? The dual recovery seems as though it could be problematic, will it be overwritten when I update or flash an ftf file? Once I root the original .518 firmware etc. what do I do next to get to rooted Kitkat (.757)? Is it possible to get a rooted 4.4 stock ROM with the same SI number? Should I actually be bother with such details?
I could really use some clear advice on the best way to proceed.
This is what you need to get to a 4.4.2 or 4.4.3 ROM with Root. For 4.4.4 look further down the post. This is for locked bootloaders.
Code:
For unlocked bootloaders on ANY FW just flash a custom kernel of your choice suitable for the FW you are on then install chainfires SuperSU either from the play store or from his website in a flashable zip (Google it)
1) Flash any FTF file ending in 534 (Find files and instructions in the mega collection thread in the general section)
2) Install the latest dual recovery (Find files and instructions in the XZDR dual recovery in the cross device development section)
3) Install a pre rooted 4.4 ROM of your choice (Find files and instructions in the development section)
No need to root, no need to unlock the bootloader, hence also no need to back up the TA partition.
At the end of the process you will be on KitKat and rooted.
Here is @shem2409 brand new video showing you step by step how to root and install the newest recovery on bootloader locked Sony Xperia Z1 Android 4.4 based on [NUT]'s guide:
For 4.4.4 just update to 4.4.4 via PCCompanion or flashtool and then look at this

Many Thanks for the swift response, thats about as clear as it gets. But I did notice most ROM's install instructions say to root 534 before installing recovery and most require a kernel only ftf to be flashed after flashing ROM. Should I follow the ROM's install instructions?
Just for my own knowledge, there is a Generic UK 534 firmware ftf listed but not with the same SI number as mine. Should I worry about never being able to return the phone to full "just-out-of-the-box" condition?
If you do not install dual recovery then you will have to root the 534 firmware
Installing dual recovery on 534 roots the firmware at the same time
You can flash any 534 FTF as long as its for your model of phone (C6902/3/6 etc), the SI number does not matter
As my instructions said at each step you will find files and instructions in the relevant threads, please follow them.
i upgraded it to .757, then installed doomkernel and flashed supersu.zip...thats my rooting method on qct based devices ^^

On unlocked bootloader that's the best way, but for those that choose to not unlock, or cannot unlock then they need the above method

Thanks again, that dual recovery is a godsend. Much like yourself. Couldn't find any details on what Wipe and Exclude options to set in flashtool for the 534 flash. Seems logical to exclude TA but I don't know.
I have read some stuff about losing IMEI when flashing with flashtool but that seems to occur when downgrading.

It shouldn't bootloop
Make sure you picked the right 534 file
it should be the same one for your phone
i.e. c6902 or c6903 or c6906
Just flash another one

Thanks gregbradley. Your advice was spot on. Especially big thanks for explaining everything so well, it made it easy. Have installed Xposed and set about tweaking 757. Its looking real good.

Sorry to quote the whole thing..
1. U say flash any FTF - Any FTF or Stripped FTF of the same device model will do?
2. If i flash Generic FTF then I wont be having Root and Recovery then How am i gonna install Dual Recovery?
Also i know its not related but can u suggest me.. My phone is unable to focus.. I was on AOSP ROMs from so long.. Now i flashed NUT Stock ROM 757 via Recovery and Everything is smooth and good except the Camera is not Focussing..
I read somewhere that if Running Camera Problems then downgrade to 534 and do the whole process and then Come to 757.. Is it true?
Also we need a Good Tutorial for Coming to AOSP from STOCK and Vise versa with proper links and Support can u do it? Because i have seen People who come to AOSP from Stock run into different types of problems, mostly the solution is Downgrading and Doing the whole process.. I know u have the knowledge to do that what say?

You have to "Full unroot" in SuperSU settings and restore the stock recovery. Otherwise OTA will fail. After the OTA is installed, You can easily return to TWRP and flash SuperSU.
okay thanks! also instead of twrp could I use chainfire again?
Unfortunately, i tried to install OTA and now every time i turn on my phone it reboots and tries to install 5.02 only to get an error and it stays at twrp menu. So what can i do now?
lol after many reboots phone decided to tell me that update was unsuccessful so it works again.
more details pls for a beginner
I made the same mistake trying to flash OTA 5.02 over rooted device 4.4.4 . I got out of the loop by moving the download zip from system/cache to external sd...
just wanting to make sure I do all the right things and in order:
so in Super SU I go the FULL UNROOT
how do I then restore stock recovery?
Once I I have restored it what are the steps for the zip and install via stock recovery?
sorry about the boring questions - it's still a bit of a jungle for a beginner

Sure. But why? Twrp is superior in every aspect. It's like deliberately crippling your toaster so that only one slice fits.
Will I be able to install ota updates with stock recovery and after unroot if I do changes to /system?

Nice imagination.
But why do I often read that TWRP will be overwritten by Lollipop with custom recovery when rebooting the phone? Some people therefore recommend the Chainfire CF-Auto-Root instead.
So after unlocking bootloader can I flash TWRP in fastboot mode and superSU afterwards without those kind of problems?

It's a "feature" introduced by google for their nexus. I will quote the twrp website:
The stock ROM will automatically replace TWRP with the stock recovery. To prevent the stock ROM from replacing TWRP, boot TWRP, go to the mount menu and mount system, press the home button, then press Advanced ->File Manager. Browse to /system and select the file named recovery-from-boot.p then choose to rename the file to recovery-from-boot.bak
Or you flash the SuperSU.zip. That will prevent the override too.

Thx a lot for your explantion.
This was one of the things that irritated me right from the start when I was checking out the possibilities of custom recovery/root within 5.0.
I heard about the file-renaming thing but didnĀ“t realize that superSu will do the job too and that it is a Nexus "feature" at all.
Helped me very much!

[ROM][5.1.1][10.7.A.0.228][C5503][LB]Nordic Combined+Pre-rooted+Recovery

Using PRFCreator, I've just created a flashable zip for the latest stock ROM 5.1.1 (C5503) 10.7.A.0.222 & 10.7.A.0.222 Nordic Combined.
The flashable zip will install the followings:
1. C5503 Generic NCB firmware
2. Pre-rooted using SuperSU 2.49 Beta
3. XZDualRecovery 2.8.23
I've tested it on my ZR originally running 5.02 rooted stock LB ROM. I used TWRP 2.8.7.0 to flash it and I just wiped Dalvik and cache so data partition is untouched.
If you're also using Xposed, boot your phone for the first time, then reboot your phone into TWRP again to flash the official Xposed framework (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811, sdk22). For unknown reason, I need to uninstall and re-install the Xposed Installer to run it successfully.

If you upgrade from 5.02 using this flashable zip, then you don't need to wipe data so your save games can be retained.

Hi already have. Look at his site under dual recovery and beta.
I have stock 5.1.1 (10.7.A.0.222) installed, and the phone is in its original condition after a factory reset, with no root, no unlocked bootloader, etc. What should I do if I want to have root? So far I could only find complicated instructions involving downgrading to older android, etc. Any help would be appreciated.
Is it possible to flash this with flashtool?
I am unable to install it through TWRP, it finishes installing very quickly without any error, but apparently does nothing.

What's your version of TWRP? I'm using the latest version of XZDualRecovery and TWRP should be 2.8.7.0.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261606
TWRP is from XZDualRecovery 2.8.21.
Its version is 2.8.6.0.
Will try to find a newer TWRP for Xperia ZR.
Actually, the recovery was installed with the whole system image, and I am unable to update it to 2.8.7.0 yet.
I finally managed to update to 5.1.1 with this package by updating the kernel image with TWRP.
Still TWRP version 2.8.6.0 was sufficient.
I try Your zip and not working for my ZR. In CWM i got error with UUIDs ("uuid link to system partition does not exist"). Then I create zip by myself with PRFCreator and all is working fine.

I have no idea why the zip file doesn't work for you guys. But I'm glad you work it out yourself.
I'm on stock 4.4.4, UB, with xzdualrecovery 2.7.... Is it safe to flash this 5.1.1 rom? Or do I need to update the recovery first? Or should I upgrade first to 5.0, then this? Thanks for the help!

install recovery on 5.1.1

Hi guys is there any way to install recovery on z1 5.1.1 on stock without root ?
without root is impossible
yes of course, you must use prf creator and put the relevant supersu and recovery zip files in the respective folders. finally, it will create a flashable.zip file, which you will use with flastool software

Hes using 5.1.1 without root . That means he does not have recovery. How he will be able to flash the flashable Zip from Prf creator when he does not have recovery. So please, understand what hes asking first before answering.
Anyways the answer is NO, You n3ed to downgrade to 4.4.4 or 5.0.2 and root then flash DualRecovery. And look for prerooted 5.1.1 firmwares (flashable zip) then flash to your recovery.
