Hi everybody.
I have a problem
I followed the instructions from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2187363&page=32 to get CWM for locked Bootloaders.
Everything was fine, it worked, I did already a backup with the CWM. Then I rebooted to the OS, went home, wanted to reboot to recovery to try to flash a custom stock based ROM, but now I can not get anymore into the recovery. Neither with booting up and pressing the volume key, nor with titanium backup and boot to recovery option.
I tried to reinstall CWM using the script, but no success to get into CWM. See also the screenshot attached from krabappel2548's script.
Any Ideas??

I don't know if that is the solution. I suppose files are gone or missing or anything like that? I wrote to the dev a PM to read this thread. I hope he can help us.
Just tested: Same issue with TWRP recovery....
I have a locked Bootloader (unlocking is not allowed), an rooted with the easy rooting script. Sony Xperia Z
I read from a user that it also has something to do with a file conflicting with the rooting for locked bootloaders, my XZ is in for repair now, but I'll take a look as soon as I have it back

Just to inform everybody who may have the same problem:
I reseted the Z via sony update service (also did a FW upgrade), rooted with latest easy root and installed then CWM for locked bootloaders.
Now it seems working fine. was able to boot into recovery several times.
Ok guys I've done a big mistake and I can't fix it, I need your help!!!
I flashed stock 4.2.2 with flashtool, everything gone allright. I also rooted and installed dual recovery. Ok, everything fine
Then, I donwloaded 4.3 stock and went to recovery to flash, I do a factory reset but I didn't do a backup. When I flashed the zip in the recovery it show me a error. I had another zip in the pc so I turned off the phone, put the SD in the pc and put the zip there. Then I turned on the phone and I can't go to recovery it just stays at the sony logo and doesn't even turn off!!!
Help, what can I do??!?!?

Just flash a stock rom 4.2,4.3 using flashtool and if your sony bootloader is locked you can not use recovery on 4.3.

You can not root stock 4.3 with a locked BL that rom is for a rooted xperia. To do it you must flash back to 4.2 and root again install recovery and install a custom 4.3 rom not stock.

dual recovery is the "recovery" for your device. you can wipe data, cache,dalvik and etc on in. and using it, you can make nandroid backups, flash mods, and other fun stuff. To access it, turn you phone off. Then turn it back on, be ready because it should flash a GREEN led light suddenly, once it lights up click either up or down volume until the color changes. Down volume = TWRP, Up volume = Philz touch I THINK. not sure with the up volume. i use TWRP for backups and mods and roms.
Thanks

Root Z1. KitKat 4.4.X
Hello everybody!
I am a new member here and i would like to share how i root my Xperia Z1 (C6903) KitKat 4.4.4. Version 14.4.A.0.108 with
stock Firmware and locked bootloader.
So, i have tried to root my phone with different flashtools, installed drivers etc etc but no luck. Finally i came over this page;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z1/development/newroot-z1-t2807092
First: I disabled any antivirus, malwareprogram it can give a false viruswarning and remove the file. I extracted the program Newroot to my desktop (How to find the program see above link).
On the phone: I went to settings/about the phone, scrolled down to the bottom to: Version, tapped version several times (for me 7 times) and a popup comes up and say you are now a developer. Now i set the developer options to ON and enabled USB-debugging. As default i also have enabled installation from unknown resources and unchecked the box Verifying apps. (Settings/SecurityUnknown resources/Verifying apps).
Now, I connected my phone to the PC with the USB-cable. Started the program Newroot from desktop, in the popup of the program i see that option "Check this to root your phone" is set by default. Now i just hit proced button and the rooting started, kept an eye on my phone and the phone rebooted. That was all and i had rooted phone with the superuser app in the apps section! :victory:. For some users first root does not work properly. If not sure you have completely root, check root with: Check Root. You can find it on Google store here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.avaranasoftware.checkroot
If there is any error-messages, or if it says that busybox is not installed, use the Newroot program again to Unroot the phone instead. After unroot use Newroot program again to Root your phone. After reboot check again with Check Root, now everything should be fine. and both superuser app and busybox should be installed.
Good luck!
Note: Above is only a description of how i successfully rooted my phone. So i don´t take any responsibility for any eventual problems for others who root their phone.
Huge thanks to munjeni for this awesome program! :highfive:

In CWM Recovery: if i choose wipe data/factory reset, will it unroot the phone and apply factory settings, same state as before rooting the phone?

So if i unroot the phone first, and then access recovery mode and choose that option, will it be the same as factory reset and i can use warranty of the phone if needed?

If you unroot the phone you will lose recovery.
If you want to unroot the easiest way is just to flash a stock FTF using flashtool.
And rooting does not void the warranty, only unlocking the bootloader does that

Now a couple of days i used the Newroot tool. I have installed some utilities with functions that requires root. Root Manager app says i have the Clockworkmod and most functions in that program does not work, and Titanium backup pro complains that my CVM- Superuser program can cause some functions to work improperly, and i should update my binaries to SuperSU for the program to work properly.
I installed SuperSU and in recoverymode i got the question if i wanted to "install the untrusted SuperSU Zip and this can not be undone". I chose no because i was not sure what could happen so i reboot the phone and after that i was not rooted anymore, i checked with root checker and my programs that requires root did not function. So i rooted the phone again with Newroot and i got root again and all problems were gone, root access was granted to all programs that required root, except for root manager...
So i googled about Clockworkmod and that mod is rarely used for the Z1-model, most used for Samsung and HTC.
So i wonder if i backup all my data via PC-Companion, can i choose "repair the phone" and it will turn back the phone to it´s original state?
Or do i have to flash the phone myself with a stock rom? I have search for my stock rom everywhere and i cannot find it. But with PC-Companion is it possible to return the phone to it´s original state?

Successfully returned it to factory state. Pressed *#*#7378423#*#* and checked, and everything is exactly as it was when i was rooted, so i assume the Newroot prog did nothing to my phone except for rooting it and installed recovery?
Anyway, maybe i will root my phone again now when i know it is possible to turn it back to stock to get the benefits from root.
Huge thanks gregbradley you made my day! :good: :victory:
No worries.
Yes the newroot process only roots the phone, it does nothing to the bootloader

i recieved several times a message saying that i have to install a security update (at&t), after some time i decided to install it but when i try to i get a status 7, another thing what do i need to install a custom rom on my arix hd, it has android 4.1 from at&t, unlocked bootloader, cwm, and carrier unlocked (i dont want to loose this), in my touchpad i just have to download the rom + gapss and install them from a custom recover, so i dont know if this is the same for the atrix hd, thanks in advance.
You need to be running stock recovery and stock ROM to install the update.
The update includes security patches and some modem updates. This update may be necessary for taking the OTA KK update.

ok thanks for answering, i have stock rom so, but unlocked bootloader can i install it then just by installing the stock recovery?
You may need to be unrooted in addition to having stock recovery.
If you removed too many of the att apps, that may cause the update to fail as well.

Did you phone take the update or is it automatically booting into recovery?
The best way to get the update is to flash back to stock ATT 4.1.1, take the OTA update, re-install CWM, and carry on using a custom ROM. This is exactly what I did with a Bell Canada Atrix HD.
You can try re-installing stock recovery in fastboot.

Yeah. The quickest, sure-fire way to get in a position to take the OTA update is to flash back to stock (stock files available here). You can use RSD or MythTools, whatever works for you. Doing this will also put you back on stock recovery.
I had to do this, too, before I could take the OTA. But in my case I had modified/removed too many AT&T stock apps...
thanks to both of you, yes the phone rebooted itself like about 40 secs from turning on i was able to fix this part by formatting cache from cwm, now im gonna try to flash stock recovery

Blur_Version.98.4.20.MB886.ATT.en.US is the one that my phone already had

I got a Bell Canada Atrix HD from a co-worker. When I used Myth to flash from stock Bell to stock ATT, it would not work properly. When I used RSD with 98.4.20 without going through Myth, the ATT ROM flashed without any errors. I was able to take the OTA update, flash CWM, and revert to a custom ROM.

does your root still work, did you flash the complete 4.4.4 ftf, that would mean you flashed even the root and your phone is back to stock.
