Hi!
Just received my Z1 and really want to root it so I have a couple of questions.
- what is the danger with rooting Z1? Other than the possibility to brick the phone.
- is there any bugs if I root the phone but stay at stock rom? I've read that if you use custom bootloader the camera won't and so on.
- if I root the phone does anyone know how to hide the soft keys? Want to use all my screen.
- can anyone recommend the safest guide / way to root the phone?
- is there any other problems with rooting the phone that I should know about? I have been using an HTC 3d until now which was rooted and I used a lot of custom roms so have experience from that phone but
I wounder if there is any other things with this phone
Thanks in advance!

1) None, you cannot brick by rooting
2)No bugs with rooting, unlocking bootloader is different to root
3)Use full screen apps of xposeds Framework and modules (Search on xda for xposed framework)
4)Read the rooting guides in this forum, they are all safe. Or just use this

settings and personal data remain, but you will lose root and there is no way to root the new firmware yet
How come that it is not possible to root the new firmware?
Too bad, have to stick to the old firmware for a good time then probably?
I have a 6606 that I rooted and now the USB port is broke. The OTA update to 4.2.2 won't work (Due to root) and the usb port is broke so I can't load via flashtool ftf. I did remove SU, thinking the OTA would work and it did not.
1) What options do I have?
2) Is there a way to remove root completely so the OTA will load/install?
3) Would the device Factory Reset remove the root 100% so the OTA would install? (I was trying to avoid as I don't want to lose my son's minecraft game data)
Thank you kindly,
Randy

1) I am thinking..
2+3) maybe there are some unroot apps in playstore. I never tryed someone so I can not say if it works. With a factory reset I think you will less root. But wait with it and give me 20 mins. I do a backup in CWM and after that I will try it for you
You can try to convert(?) the ftf file in a flashable zip. But I don't know how to do that.. -.-
Edit: Ok, I tryed it(I have not choosed delete internal datas too) SuperSu was there also CWM..
Thank you for trying and if you come up with anything good, holla at me!

Factory Reset ? ODB over WiFi any use to you ? (Kernel dependent)
why get the ota update? install recovery if you havent already, and flash a stock deodexed rom based on tbe semi-latest firmware, or a custom rom of your choice. The tmobile os is crap anyway and full of thingz to kill your battery and performance. Also the latest update isnt 4.3 or 4.4 anyway as far as im aware, so you cant be losing much that xposed or custom roms cant give you.

what i mean it if otas causing you trouble just go with tbe custom rom. there are RomAur and deodexed stock that do everything the oem does and even look likr them. the latest tmobile update doesnt do **** for your phone except help tmobile. and i can say from experience that regardless. of the rom on your phone, the txg message about bills will still come though.
Hello,
I'm facing some small problem with my Xperia.
I own this device for 4 days, so please consider me noob (only for this device).
So I've unlocked my bootloader, rooted the phone and installed CWM, but the problem is that it is losing root after every reboot (I have to flash SuperSu libraries each time to fix it).
I've seen a thread about this, how to re-root my phone, however I can't find it anymore.
Could You help me to root my phone permanently?

Flash a pre-rooted 4.3 rom is better

Yeah, I know that's the way but I kind of don't want to change my ROM now, as I would have to set up everything (I know I can leave data, but it may cause FC's).
I also tried existenZ ROM, but it was slower.
I've found some thread about this fix, but it didn't work
Hi,

Did you find a solution ?

Hello guys, lot time ago i have rooted my xperia z with 4.4.4 android version. After that i had changed buttons/fonts and now i dont have stock of them. The problem is that now i want to update to android lollipop, and i dont have idea what to do. I dont know did i need to unroot firstly then update, or just update. But if i need unroot, did these applied things like changed fonts/buttons apearance did not cause some bugs,bricks without changing back them to stock and unrooting? Becouse these functions need root, and i want to unroot without changing them to stock, becouse i dont have idea where i can get them. Damn... Its madness, i dont know what to do now and what to do firstly sorry about my terrible english skills, and also i am big noob here as you can see. I hope you guys understand what i want to say, i really need help!!!!!!
What Xperia Z do you have? C6602, C66603?
Second, is OTA avaiable for you country?

Hi bro
to install LP you dont need change ane thing in your current rom
to flash LP every thing will be wiped (all data and phone partition get formated ) but you just have to be aware your phone is LB or UN: if your phone bootloader is unlocked then your not able to update via xperia update
wene ever flash roms via flashtool is preference:good:

Thanks buddy i dont have custom rom, unlocked bootloader, just rooted and thats it, without unlocking. So... did i can update lollipop? And the thing about buttons/fonts is that what i mean
Did after update will be everythink clear? Did these changed buttons will not cause bugs?
I have changed them with SoftKeyZ app, who require root, and i dont have stock buttons
To change back. And another question, did i need to unroot before apply android 5 lollipop? I have firmware update of it, so i need just apply it, but i am scarred.

OTA - Over The Air - Type of update, means you download it directly on your phone and it updates, without the need of PC.
Recommended: Backup everything - Clean Install (via pc companion or flashtool) - install whatever you want
Second - chances of bricking by just updating to lollipop in your case are minimal, however backup first so you can restore in case of a disaster.

Yes, of course , with an unlocked bootloader it is really easy.
With a locked bootloader however the only possible way is to root it with Kingroot (chinese app), and then replace it with SuperSu.
Have fun!

Thanks buddy! You helped me
I dont see any root guides for the G6 (not plus) yet. I just got this phone and am willing to help get root for it if someone that is smarter than me in this stuff can help..... If there is root for it and I'm not seeing it, someone point me to it..... thanks....
root
no root available yet bro, also did u unlock your bootloader if not u will need to before u can root,so i recommend u do that and then when root is available your good to proceed
I tried, almost bricked.
