Hi there,
I'm new to these forums any help will be greatly appreciated..
I need help with rooting and installing the newset cyanogenmod on my xperia Z1
It's a c6906 from Canada orignially from Bell Mobile
The bootloader cannot be unlocked in this variant.
It came with 4.4 firmware and I upgraded through Sony to 5.0.2
I can't figure out how to bypass the boot loader access to install a custom recovey and the latest Cyanogenmod with android 5.1 or later..
sorry im a newbie
i posted a new thread by accident and i want to delete it but i cant figure out how.. :-/

Well check SUS/PCC for update first, but if there's none there either - Download a 4.2.2 Firmware (there's plenty) and flash with flashtool, there's guide pinned on the forums. Remember not to wipe data if you have important stuff on it.
Search, read and then read some more...

Hi Guys
Firstly, I apologies if this is in the wrong section ...
Now, I recently purchased a Xperia Z (my old phone was a Xperia Ray, thank god I got rid of it)
So I got the phone, plugged it into the computer to restore some backups and without thinking i accepted the update and it went ahead and done it.
Which brings me to my question, is there a root available for Xperia Z on
Android Version : 4.3
Build Number: 10.4.1.B.0.101
Preffreably one that doesn't involve downgrading as I do not want to unlock my bootloader.
Thanks for your help guys!
simply put no lol
No,you cannot root without unlocking bootloader or downgrading

Hello everyone,

Your firmware version is displayed in Settings -> About Phone -> Build number.
This is the only way currently to root 4.4.4 on the Z: How to root 10.5.1.A.0.283 / 10.5.1.A.0.292

Hey greatly thanks. If I do it wrong or if any wrong thing happened, what possible damages can cause? I want my mobile rooted for some apps and I am totally newbie to how to root.
As long as you follow the guide, nothing bad should happen. At worst you might have to reflash stock firmware, but that's very unlikely.
