Hi my z1 is lollipop 5.1.1
I heard that miui 7 based on kitkat.
Does this mean that I must downgrade to kitkat to flash it to my mobile ?
And if somebody uses it can he leave feedback about this rom.
Thanks.
no you can install it on lollipop if you have TWRP or CWM
also you can install if have LB or UB
You can flash the rom by TRWP or philz even though the android 5.1.
Just do not forget to wipe and wipe system altogether.

Hi guys,i have an xperia z1 and i unlocked the bootloader and i am running the AOSB project ROM on my phone, but when i installed that ROM the firmware version the newest one was the 14.2.A.1.136 and i used the NUT thread and links, so i got the double recovery, and the i wiped everything installed the rom and gapps and everything is working fine except that i lost TWRP and only have CWM as of right now. My question is should i update my firmware to the newest one following NUT threads up to 14.3.A.0.757 and then install the new PAC rom or since i have UB just fastboot kernel, reset, flash rom and gapps ? Will anything change if i install newest firmware. And can i install NUT firmware with recovery and SU even though i am on UB? Any help is appreciated.

First i just want to say.. i'm not good at English.. sorry . I hope you understand what i said
You don't need to flash cocore kernel after flashing cm12.1. because Cocore is only for JB..
there is a new build of cm12.1 18/07 instead 08/07, here is the link http://hastalafiesta.altervista.org/cyanogenmod-12-1-i9070-180715/
Try this method to install cm 12.1:
Make sure the boot.cpio.gz deleted from efs folder
1. flash cm11 by Epirex latest version.. it has TWRP recovery or if you have CWM v6.0.43, you can skip this step
2. reboot to recovery
3 do full wipes (cache, data, dalvik, system)
4. install rom
5. install gapps
6. reboot to system.. and You're done.
Hope it helps..

I have a long procedure but it helped me a lot, first flash the stock ROM with the help of Odin and then download latest cm12.1 build and gapps from here http://hastalafiesta.altervista.org/cyanogenmod-12-1-i9070-180715/ download ukf (universal kernel flasher) from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2137598
And download the root browser from play store. After flashing the stock ROM, root your phone, open root browser and extract the ROM somewhere, now open ukf and go where you extracted your ROM and then flash boot.img from the extracted files . after flashing go to recovery mod and you will see twrp. From there flash ROM and gapps,clear data ,cache,dalvik cache. From there restart your phone. First booting takes 15-30 mins , then you would get your 5.1.1, this method is long but effective
here's what i did: i installed Microkat on a XT1068 with 48.86 bootloader, i formated my internal storage and my micro SD a day after. Today i was looking for a 5.1 ROM and i found a new SlimLP update, so i wanted to install it, and i did. The ROM booted up but there was something wrong, the wallpaper was the same i used on Microkat ( i did a clean install ), the launcher was Nova Launcher, the same launcher MicroKat uses, and some of my old apps where there, i don't know how it happened. So android.acore was FCing, so i went to TWRP and formated everyrhing and installed the ROM again. The rom doesn't booted up anymore, and i don't have a PC to save my phone, there is any way to save it without a PC? I know why it happened (its because i installed a Stock KK rom and then an AOSP 5.1 ROM, i already faced this issue, but now i don't have a backup or a Stock 5.0.2 zip file to install and free me out of this bug). Please if there's any way to do that without a PC tell me

You'll have to restore stock 4.4.4, OTA update to 5.0.2, and then install custom 5.1.1 ROM.
You'll also need to make sure you update the bootloader, if you haven't done so already.
Just wipe system cache data and dalvik cache and then flash. No need of again flashing 5.0.2 and all that.

Hi everyone,
I'm interested on installing the ROM developed by MXNICE :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z1/development/rom-z5mx-rom7-5-0extended-battery-t3224245
What I understand is that I'm gonna need a pre-rooted LP version of android, and I have lots of doubts....!
I have been working on rooting and doing some mods on my xperia z1 but only on KK...so I'm not experienced on LP
What I did in KK is: install version .108 with flashtool, rooted, installed CWM recovery, DEODEXed, Camera Mod, and other minor mods... and that is is what I'm using right now. I did not touch the bootloader so I understand I have locked bootloader.
Now, this custom ROM looks awesome but installation procedure is not clear for me. I have read all the entire thread (64 pages!), and I understand that I have to install this ROM through the recovery and doing a "clean Install"
Post #341 (by arvinaquio) on that thread is:
By the way, I did a very clean installation of this ROM by reinstalling .108. Rooted it and installed Dual Recoveries. Then created a pre-rooted .368 fw through PRFCreator then full wiped and cleared cache before installing the latest fw then power off, turned on the device manually then reconfigured(Unknown Sources, USB debugging) then rebooted to Recovery then full wiped and cleared cache and installed the ROM. Rebooted it and it turned on smoothly without experiencing any error reported recently from other pages. Always do a clean installation to avoid encountering error. Good luck guys and happy modding to all of us!

So now, I have to create a pre rooted LP stock ROM, I found the tutorial on the internet on how to do it, but...
1) My xperia z1 model is C6943, I understand it is compatible with C6903 (i lose TV function, which I don't care)... how can I be sure I won't have a problem if I put: KK .108 stock Custom AR for C6943, pre-rooted LP.216 Custom BR (.236 not available for C6943), and then flash MxROM which is Chinese C6903 ? (Edit: is Chinese C6903 version .236)
2.a) When creating the pre rooted LP .216 should I choose the same recovery (CWM) or can I use another (I want to change to dual or TWRP)??
2.b) And also I want to change from "superuser" to "SuperSU".? Can I make those change or should I stick to CWM and superuser?
2.c) If I can't, means I should start again from KK and root installing dual recovery and superSU?
3) Once I get the pre rooted firmware, should I install it over KK firmware using recovery or using flashtool? should I wipe data, cache, and dalvik ?
Of course I already did a backup of my actual system with CWM. I just want to be sure of what I'm going to do next and avoid bootlooping or bricking my phone.
thank you all !

3) the pre rooted firmware you get from prf creator is a zip file. This file is only flashable with the help of a custom recovery.
Don't mix up ftf files and zip files. Ftf => flashtool to get it on phone, zip => custom recovery to get it on phone.
So what I did Was: flash to stock Sony v. 108 firmware for C6943, rooted with easy root tools, download superSU from playstore and installed the dual recovery using install.bat file.
Then rebooted to recovery and made a backup.
When I flashed to lollipop using the pre rooted file I made, the phone went into bootloop. So I restored the backup and installed a pre rooted version that I downloaded from this forum, it was Central Europe for C6903. (in both cases I previously wiped data and cache).
Once I got lollipop working, checked it was rooted and with the dual recovery installed, I enabled USB debuggibg and allow install from external sources. Then entered recovery and made again a backup.
I previously checked that superSU and dual recovery included in the flasheable lollipop zip were the same version I used when I installed them on the stock kitkat rom, dont know if that was necessary, but just in case.
After that I entered recovery again, wiped data and cache and installed the custom rom.
It worked like a charm, and runs very smooth
