Hello, I have an XPERIA Z1 (C6903) with Android 5.1.1 (Bulit number: 14.6.A.1.236). I have now done the step "Unlock Bootloader" via the Sony website. It worked without problems so far. But now I can not get any further. All instructions/tutorials that I have looked at are very old and I can't get any further.
I have now installed TWRP and downloaded the image "twrp-3.0.2-0-honami.img" via the app. But the app says "Device not rooted".
How do I now root the Z1 after the last state? What tools does it need? How do I proceed now in general? Really need help here, I'm totally new to this. Would be very grateful if someone could explain it to me.
We can learn together, i have been trying to get LineageOS 19 on mine and i have gotten so far, phone is just stuck in "Phone is Starting"
I think in order to root you need to install magisk

Hey, as the tittle says I´m stuck in the bootloader of my semi new HTC One. :C
Well the story is that I rooted my phone 2 months ago and installed a new ROM successfully which was great. Now this week I wanted to change back to the stock version and regain my insurance and back all the original futures of my beloved phone. I did a step here with I deeply regret, I formatted my sdcard. (Note this was my first doing any rooting or stuff of that sort). So as I wanted to get the stock ROM to my phone I locked up this video from youtube by Sakitech:- "How to Unroot your HTC One, and Relock the Bootloader". I follow his steps worked well but later I realised none of the RUU files worked with my phone.
So now I´m here with no ROM installed. Can´t get access to the recovery. My phone is relocked (the rooting). Can´t find any RUU file that works for my phone, so far (because I´m from Sweden and have the Nordic version). I´m stuck in the bootloader.
Here´s a picture of it for what it´s worth:

Please help me! If you have a solution explain it with "baby-steps" because I´m not yet experienced with these sort of things. Thank you! <3
Picture?
Can someone post the picture for me if I give the link to that person??? :/ I can send it through email or skype

[CLOSED] After some real digging around and some thinking I manage to fix my phone, yessssssssssss!!!!
I have been trying to root my phone so I can record in 4K with the default sony camera app. I used Xperia companion to repair the phone back to its original rom which is Nougat 7.0 with kernal 39.A.0.374-R13C which is the hong kong generic.. Right now I'm stuck in a loop and can't get my phone working properly because of the DRM keys. The camera app doesn't work at all and the xreality engine also doesn't work. It's really frustrating and killing me.
I used Fashtool64 to unlock the bootloader and apply andropluskernal v21 and the latest TWRP which is twrp-3.1.0-0-dora.img. Everything was flashed fine with no errors but however, I have one big problem I can't get around. I keep getting "To start "Android, enter your password" I never set up a password on my phone and I have never encrypted it either. This is from a fresh installation with Xperia Companion yet it asks for a password. Guys, please help me I have no other phone. I can't find anything on the internet to help me. Creating a thread here is my last hope. :crying:

Enter a password until it boots, it will factory reset/boot after 30 password attempts
Hey just curious - did you eventually get it fixed? I'm in kind of the same situation - eventually got past the Android password issue, have a functioning system, but no DRM features. Thinking about flashing Androplus' kernel to fix things, not sure if worth it.
hi, good evening.
first, I'm sorry because there was so many threads about this but i still write this one.
few days ago, i have deleted some important videos from my phone. After that, i tried many ways to get it back but i found that i have to root my phone before recovering my video. That is the reason why i know XDA
after 2 days reading a number of thread about rooting z4, i realize that i'm still an idiot so i decise to write this thread.
Please help me!!! I really want to get back my video.
could you please write the way to root z4 step by step? what i have to note? and which software i need?
i'm using z4 docomo single sim- android 6.0.1 - 32.2.A.0.224
bootloader unlock allowed: Yes
thanks for reading and sorry about my english if there were any fault-spelling @@
Hi guys,
I've bought an P9 and wanted to get rid of the booting screen with the resellers logo.
So I thought I'd be smart, unlocked the device, flashed TWRP 3.1.1-1-eva.img onto it. Got an SuperSu-file and tried to install it...
I never got to experience the rooted version. Got stuck in a bootloop, somehow got out of it. Logged in, saw an green SuperSu-app, opend it and it saidthe device has to be rooted to use the device, ergo i failed to root it. [Forgot some steps here] and I found myself in another bootloop. A friendly guy suggested to flash these 2 files
[Link-Removed]update.zip
[Link-Removed]update_data_full_hw_eu.zip
which I did with dload. After that, I was still in a bootloop, but with WipeCache I was able to get myself back into my phone [hooraay].
The happyness-phase was a short, because i soon found out, that it doesn't have an keyboard (only googleVoice, should be fun to type in a wifi-password). Huawei-ID tab is also missing (usually located below Accounts), Update Phone, which was between Advanced Settings and About Phone is also missing, and bluetooth doesn't seem to work. That's when I noticed that I'm on NRD90M test-keys build.
After reading some threads here i downloaded rollback from huawei (for west-europe). Now I'm on C900B300 but all settings still missing.
Now I'm here crying for help.
Any suggestions? Please?

You got to rebrand your phone.

do you mean, that i have to put the bootlogo back into it?
could be a meanie to do, because it's a swiss brand and I don't think that there's a version here for me to use.
//or do an OEM-Flash, which worked
My mi5 is stuck on this screen.
I have access to TWRP on the mi5.
It has unlocked bootloader.
Adb and mi drivers are installed.
Have access to OTG.
Can anyone kindly guide me through the simplest process here?
For recovering my phone do I have to flash global stable/developer necessarily?
I had global developer previously (miui9) to which I flashed TWRP successfully but when I was flashing the SuperSU zip, it got stuck here.
Kindly help me fix this and tell me what I did wrong to get softbricked.
I know it's in bad condition lol, I drove over it and then bought a new phone so decided to experiment with it.
Sadly it's he hardest phone to root/recover I've ever encountered.
I've played with Samsung Galaxy Alpha/Few Sony Ericsson phones and a spare Gionee M5 lite, even though they had less support I figured them out pretty easily.
