Hello,
I have just got the Sony z1 device and ideally want vanilla android on here, is it possible and if so would it void my warranty?
If not possible what can I delete of Sony's on here as its packed with crap I don't want, will removing their apps cause any problems with the phone?
Thanks
There is a dedicated forum for the Z1. Anyway, in order to install vanilla Android, you'll have to unlock your bootloader, which voids your warranty. Rooting will probably not require an unlocked bootloader.

Unlocking bl will also block his camera... If you don't know what are you talking about just stay quiet.
Never unlock bl on Z1!

Ok, relaxed, it's true unlocking bootloader blocks camera, but he did say there is a forum for z1, if you ask these questions in a forum for a different device these things are bound not to be known by the forum members for this device (XZ)
And anyone who is going to unlock bootloader should do their homework first..
Just my 2 cents on the matter

I know that an UB breaks the camera. However, i didn't advise him to unlock it. I simply answered his question about the possibility and the warranty.
If you want a proper answer go to the right forum
Got my hands over Xperia Z
was going through all the forums to root my device
doomlord 's way failed because the firmware i have is newer than what is been tested by Doomlord.
than i tried what i always do
ok I'm repeating myself this time on Xperia forum.
1) unlock bootloaders from sony's own site
2) flash Doomlords kernel for stock firmware which is with recovery
3) get into recovery and flash the zip attached
now you have super user and can install all that stuff needs root.
have a nice day!
And now you also have
1.Invalidate warranty
2.Bravia Engine 2 will not work anymore
3.Download music info, trackid... may also not work..
Doomlords way is fully working on locked bootloader you just need to downgeade kernel. If you have newer fw

1. Music Info works
2.And yes you're right dooms method works like a charm , no need to unlock bl just for rooting
@general: well it's obviously that you can root you device this way, because your bl unlocked. If you don't plan to use a custom kernel /rom you better root using doom's method.

in germany it's like that: if you buy a new product, the law enforces the manufacturer/dealer to give a 2-year-warranty on the product. this 2-year-warranty can't be reduced or limited (normally).
the manufacturer/dealer might give an optional warranty for another X years, but that's up to him.
so sony might say that their additional, optional, voluntary warranty might get lost when unlocking the bootloader, but they cannot reject the warranty enforced by law. to do so, they will have to prove that unlocking the bootloader is definitely the cause for the devices' fault.
let's say the power button isn't working anymore, and the device is 1 year old, then sony can't reject only because of an unlocked bootloader. it will be very hard for them to plausible prove that unlocking the bootloader damaged the power button. if the device is, let's say, 3 years old, then they can reject.
at least in germany this is the case, and i guess in many other countries as well. in germany they distinguish between "gewährleistung" (warranty by law) and "garantie" (optional, voluntary warranty given by manuf./dealer).
(unfortunately, i don't know the proper english translation for the german words, and my translation app shows "warranty" in both cases.)
I read on these forums that even requesting B/L unlock code from Sony is sufficient grounds to deny warranty - whether you unlock or not

Easiest root ever is with program called KINGO ANDROID ROOT its only one click root. No need for kernel downgrada, i use it on official .67 firmware and it works like charm. I saw it somewhere on xda and download it its imba.

Kongo root has been removed from XDA because of malware or something.
Doomlords method is the one to use

Hi !
Unfortunately is not entirely true !!! Please update your correct title : " Easiest way to Root Xperia Z any firmware ( only for unlocked bootloader ! )"
Thanks !
Is it possible to root 10.4.1.B.101 without unlocking the bootloader and without the loss of data? I have seen tutorials but you have to downgrade for them to work. If you downgrade do you lose all your data or can you keep it? Is it maybe possible to only temporarly downgrade to an exploitable kernel only, and then restore 10.4.1.B.101, without losing any data?
Thanks ik advance

you need to downgrade it by flashing 4.2.2 firmware & root it & flash a pre-rooted 4.3 rom
i'm not sure if this works,and i forgot i lost my data or not,so you can try to flash 4.2.2 firmware using flashtool,exclude the wipe data before flashing,see it boots or not,but make a backup before flashing.
and the download apps will be gone too,so you can backup them using built-in backup & restore app,backup the contacts,sms,apps & etc.
Would you please guide me to threads in which is the detailed method for accessing to root of sony xperia z c6602 jb4.3 build b.0.101?

How to root 4.3.

Actually i'm somehow afraid of running a method which contains unlocking bootloader. I've heard about "existenz" rom but i dont know exactly what to do with that to get root access at the end.

Hi folks, hope all is well with you guys.
The title says it all. How can I de-brand my stock AT&T Galaxy S6 Edge (non-rooted, all stock) to the international stock version? This would make it similar to 925F models (unbranded).
I appreciate your help

Does flashing another firmware through ODIN make it un-brand?
No way
USA carriers have device specific firmware so flashing out of the states firmware is not possible Odin will just fail ...925A to 925 Germany or even international will not work

System files should be edited, so, root is required.
Just wait for the upcoming OTA

Have you actually tested this? ADB often doesn't let you push to the system partition without root, I haven't tried this with the OP3 though. Another way to do it is using terminal in TWRP for example, you can use vi to edit the build.prop file. It's worth nothing though that this prevents you from installing OTA updates just like rooting would since you've now modified the system partition.
