Requirements:
Flashtool 0.9.13 by @Androxyde
XZDualRecovery 2.7.76 BETA or newer.
Current rooted FW version: 14.2.A.0.290 .
Special features:
SuperSU integrated in system, FULL ROOT!
XZDualRecovery 2.7.80 BETA (CWM & PhilZ Touch & TWRP) pre-installed;
init.d support (read how to enable)
For both locked and unlocked bootloaders!
In the following guide I suggest you use an external SDCard but that's just good practice, you can use your internal storage or even an USB OTG storage device in TWRP if you like to install, that's no problem!... If you are modding and the likes, best is to have an external sdcard, just for safeties sake.
If you are unable to download torrent files directly, have http://zbigz.com/ do it for you!
How to update to 14.2.A.1.136:
Files:
For C6902: Download C6902_14.2.A.1.136.flashable.zip (Bittorrent: 926MB) and C6902_14.2.A.1.136_Stripped.ftf (21MB)
For C6903: Download C6903_14.2.A.1.136.flashable.zip (Bittorrent: 806MB) and C6903_14.2.A.1.136_Stripped.ftf (21MB)
For C6906: Download C6906_14.2.A.1.136.flashable.zip (Bittorrent: 872MB) and C6906_14.2.A.1.136_Stripped.ftf (21MB)
For C6943: Download C6943_14.2.A.1.136.flashable.zip (Bittorrent: 889MB) and C6943_14.2.A.1.136_Stripped.ftf (21MB)
Save them somewhere you remember;
Put 'C69XX_14.2.A.1.136.flashable.zip' on (the external) SDcard1;
Put 'C69XX_14.2.A.1.136_Stripped.ftf' inside the Flashtool/firmwares folder;
Create a backup of your phone in TWRP and don't forget to backup the contents of 'SDCard' (the internal storage!);
Flash 'C69XX_14.2.A.1.136.flashable.zip' in TWRP;
NOTE: do not reboot but go back to the main menu, then go to reboot->power off;
Flash everything in 'C69XX_14.2.A.1.136_Stripped.ftf' using flashtool;
Reboot to system.
The first boot will be slow and after some time at the boot animation you will see Android start optimizing the apps on your phone.
Enjoy! :laugh:
Unlocked bootloader?
To be able to use this ROM without any special tweaking, download C6903_14.2.A.1.136_kernel.img and
Code:
fastboot flash boot C6903_14.2.A.1.136_kernel.img
Or use flashtool to flash it.
It is a kernel repack, with only one change. To confirm you are running this kernel, check if the file '/nuts_repack' exists.
DE-ODEX your ROM!
Make sure you have the flashable ROM installed before you do this.
Download C6903_14.2.A.1.136_deodex.zip (Bittorrent: 412MB), save it somewhere you remember;
Put 'C6903_14.2.A.1.136_deodex.zip' on (the external) SDcard1;
Create a backup of your phone in CWM or TWRP and don't forget to backup the contents of 'SDCard0';
Flash 'C6903_14.2.A.1.136_deodex.zip' in recovery, do not reboot but go back to the main menu;
Clear dalvik-cache ONLY;
Reboot to system.
The first boot after flashing this you will see Android optimizing the apps on your phone, this might take a while... but should be just fine
Known XZDualRecovery Issues:
Busybox Updater/Installer: If you have XZDualRecovery installed, un-install any Busybox updating app/tool as most if not all of them will install a version of busybox which does not support the lzma compression applets XZDualRecovery depends on. The version installed together with XZDualRecovery is very stable and I have yet to hear anyone complain about it's stability.
How to report errors:
Please, before shouting out "It doesn't work!!1!" or "I lost root!" or even "My phone reboots when remounting /system RW!!" try the following:
Restore any JB 4.2.2 FTF using any means you are familiar with so you can try again.
Root it using any means you are familiar with.
Install XZDualRecovery;
Update to 14.2.A.0.290;
Then try to update again using TWRP.
If it still fails something from there on: LOGS!!.
NOTE: The important ones can be found in /cache/recovery and in /sdcard1/XZDualRecovery, pack them up and send them to me or attach them to your bug report.
Thank you

FAQ & Tips and Tricks
Easy switching between locked and unlocked bootloader states!
NOTE: USE TWRP ONLY for this guide.
NOTE 2: You NEED to have XZDualRecovery 2.7.43 or higher to make this work.
Create a backup, including the Trim Area (TA!)
Unlock your bootloader
Restore backup without TA
Create a new backup of your UNLOCKED TA
Restore the previous TA backup to relock your phone.
Done :good:
Now you can switch between locked and unlocked bootloaders quick and painless: no more system wipes and you can basically do whatever you want
How to enable init.d support:
Open a filemanager app and navigate to the location where the XZDualRecovery folder is located and go in to it. Open XZDR.prop as a text file and set dr.initd.active to true.
NOTE: For this guide ROM it means the init.d script called 99SuperSUDaemon will kick in to action, so it's best to disable (by setting chmod 644) /system/etc/install-recovery.sh for the time being or to clear it's contents.
Done
Downgrading to a 4.2 ROM:
Download C6903_14.1.G.1.534_[NUT].ftf (Bittorrent: 770MB) and flash it using FlashTool. I've also added the FTF to the downloads page on this DevDB tab, this will allow straight downloads as well.
This FTF will allow you to downgrade to .534 without loss of your IMEI :good:
Thanks to @mharckk and @MohammadAG for the workaround which contributed to the creation of this FTF.
ROM STATUS: STABLE
At this moment, running out of time to sleep before work tomorrow, I have to put this online still with a SEMI-ROOT
Fortunately recovery is working well, so I will be able to release a simple patch once I crack this one :good:
No patch required, it was my sleep deprived stupidity which resulted in a stupid mistake!
Hahaaaa nice work mon ami ^_^

For this version, yes... Will try to find a solution tonight...
The rom is fine to use and some root tasks can still be performed, using recovery you are able to install just about everything... Provided it is flashable of course
Yes, I know. BTW great work. I need RW because I would like to uninstall some apps.
Anyway. I'm waiting for Your magic.

You can use twrp for that too you know
Boot twrp, mount system, go to advanced and then the file manager. Navigate to system/app and tap all files you want to do something with... :highfive:

Only with a patched ramdisk on the stock kernel I'm afraid... I can do that though, it's not that hard
If anyone wants a patched ramdisk-kernel for this ROM, let me know. I won't integrate a recovery though, just the RW patch.
BIG NOTE: it is intended for use on an UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER ONLY then ... just FYI
Because of your question @mynameisjon I reallized that with the guide in post #2, it should be fairly easy to switch between locked and unlocked TA+kernel sets

Would be awesome if you could provide the ramdisk-kernel. I'm assuming that it's a boot.img and that I'd have to install the dual recovery seperately?

For Locked booloader you can use the same root method of 259?

Correct. But if you use my ROM package, recovery will already have been integrated.

I'm assuming you mean .290? Well... that same method has been applied in this ROM... but to no avail unfortunately, it needs some updating unfortunately.
Yes, you are right, i mean 290. I Hope you Can find a solution

Does an unlocked bootloader still require flashing the stripped package?

Yes sir, it contains all the bits the flashable zip can not flash. I did not check if the kernel itself changed to be honest, so maybe this ROM will work fine on any .290 kernel... but i still need to test that.
Loads of stuff to do tonight

Introduction:
This is my first ROM for any device, there will probably be bugs. I am not responsible for anything that happens to YOUR device as a result of flashing this. All releases are tested before posting to minimize the risk but there is always a chance something could go wrong!
My aim with this rom was to clean out all the useless rubbish I never use. This includes all social networking integration as I only see this as bloat, being as most of it is installable from the market.
Maybe someone else would like this too, so I am sharing my work.
Downloads:
z1slim.flashable.v0.4.zip (XDA Direct)
z1slim.flashable.v0.4.zip (XDA Torrent)
MD5: f12ac5a793edd2a25f7d9c3e758fda38
290-stripped.ftf
MD5: d06d6a554ba012d3ca0fb6bcd0f526b3
If you need something I have removed, download the AROMA installer below. It has all the apps and integration that I have removed from the stock rom in a format you can easily pick and choose what to reinstall. Just install it in recovery and tick any apps you want back! All apps within this installer are also deodexed.
z1slim.re-bloat.v1.zip
MD5: 91416eb62e0ddafd5257da28166fddac
How to install:
YOU WILL LOSE ALL USERDATA ON INTERNAL SDCARD BY DOING THIS. SO BACKUP FIRST!
1: Flash c6903 stock version 534 from this link: https://mega.co.nz/#!K1QD1bSK!JkgNvz3Tqb6lq4brVUEyZGraOjMQuTuzn8IaEFhQhUI
2: Root using bin4rys tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31545627
3: Install XZ1 DualRecovery 2.7.73 beta from [NUT]'s website: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261606
4: Copy z1slim.flashable.v0.4.zip to external sdcard
4: Reboot into TWRP
5: Click wipe -> Advanced wipe -> Tick dalvik+cache+system+internal data -> swipe to wipe
6: Format data -> Type yes
7: Install z1slim.flashable.v0.4.zip
8: DO NOT REBOOT! Instead go to reboot menu and click power off
9: Flash 290-stripped.ftf using FlashTool
10: Enjoy the rom!
First boot will take a while if you have done a factory reset.
Alternatively if you do not have an external sdcard you can sideload the zip
this is neccessary because we will format internal storage, so it cannot be there.
If you already have a rooted 4.3 ROM installed with XZDR working properly, you can just download the flashable zip, wipe data etc and install it from recovery. If you are coming from a previous version of this ROM then you only need to install the zip. No wipe required.

Good to see more DEVS here and there, let me give you an advice, people will not go back to 534 if they're already in .290 with working recovery, because i didnt go back to 534 since the first semi-rooted 290 i had to always flash the flashable recovery that i had! now if you read the NUT thread you can figure out that if you already have a working recovery or you were on any 290 from iHackers or ROMAUR or even Monx you'll be able to just flash the update zip that is in the NUT to get Full ROOT!
anyways that was only my opinion
Thanks and good luck.
Nice mate.
You are not taking anything more than others who are posting stupid things like - "new album upgrade".
Learn and upgrade your ROM, we need good guys here.
Maybe this isn't heavy development but it's one step up and I'm 100% sure it'll be great ROM one day.
You are creating something new, unlike some others guys who are constantly whining and doesn't contribute this community at all.
BTW what @Simow.b saying is correct, you should add that in OP.
Just write: if you are already on 290 or any ROM with working recovery just flash ROM through recovery, flash recovery, power of, flash ftf and restart.

We have to support guys who are willing to take their free time and work for us - free.
Someone will make something smaller, someone will make something big - but that's not important, what's important is that they are trying and learning and that's great.

Jonster111 - Nobody is forcing you to click on this thread or download this ROM. It is quite apparent what it is from both the thread title and the description in the first post.
Thanks Simow.b and funky0308 for the real support
Who knows, maybe this will one day be a base for a proper modified rom. Until then, I still need to remove the useless rubbish!

Ive just noticed that its not really got full root so have to fix that too. Cant mount system R/W but have got latest XZDR... Weird.
adamo06 please follow the guide in [NUT]'s thread properly. You need to download the 534 version from his OP to get the rom to install properly, or at least have a rooted 257 with recovery already. Also, please take discussion about that to the appropriate thread.

Follow my steps then:
1- flash 534 using flashtool
2- root it using bin4ry's tools
3- install NUT recovery (the ones that i have given) install windows version and when you're on the recovery flash the one that is flashable! do not reboot!
4- flash the 290 from any DEV i would recommend iHackers v2.0 do not reboot!
5- flash xposed for lb from Monx and again (do not reboot! )
6- flash the update zip for 290 from NUT thread
7- wipe cache/dalvik
8- power off the phone from recovery
9- flash the kernel for 290
10- boot the phone and wait!
Hope this helps now

For C6503: Download C6503_10.4.1.B.0.101.flashable.zip (Bittorrent: 823MB) and C6503_10.4.1.B.0.101_Stripped.ftf (17MB)
Save them somewhere you remember;
Put 'C65XX_10.4.1.B.0.101.flashable.zip' on (the external) SDcard1;
Put 'C65XX_10.4.1.B.0.101_Stripped.ftf' inside the Flashtool/firmwares folder;
Create a backup of your phone in TWRP and don't forget to backup the contents of 'SDCard' (the internal storage!);
Flash 'C65XX_10.4.1.B.0.101.flashable.zip' in TWRP;
NOTE: do not reboot but go back to the main menu, then go to reboot->power off;
Flash everything in 'C65XX_10.4.1.B.0.101_Stripped.ftf' using flashtool;
Reboot to system.
The first boot will be slow and after some time at the boot animation you will see Android start optimizing the apps on your phone.
Enjoy! :laugh:
Known XZDualRecovery Issues:
Busybox Updater/Installer: If you have XZDualRecovery installed, un-install any Busybox updating app/tool as most if not all of them will install a version of busybox which does not support the lzma compression applets XZDualRecovery depends on. The version installed together with XZDualRecovery is very stable and I have yet to hear anyone complain about it's stability.
How to report errors:
Please, before shouting out "It doesn't work!!1!" or "I lost root!" or even "My phone reboots when remounting /system RW!!" try the following:
Restore any JB 4.2.2 FTF using any means you are familiar with so you can try again.
Root it using any means you are familiar with.
Install XZDualRecovery;
Update to 10.4.B.0.569;
Then try to update again using TWRP.
If it still fails something from there on: LOGS!!.
NOTE: The important ones can be found in /cache/recovery and in /sdcard1/XZDualRecovery, pack them up and send them to me or attach them to your bug report.
Thank you
Tips and Tricks
Easy switching between locked and unlocked bootloader states!
NOTE: USE TWRP ONLY for this guide.
NOTE 2: You NEED to have XZDualRecovery 2.7.43 or higher to make this work.
Create a backup, including the Trim Area (TA!)
Unlock your bootloader
Restore backup without TA
Create a new backup of your UNLOCKED TA
Restore the previous TA backup to relock your phone.
Done :good:
Now you can switch between locked and unlocked bootloaders quick and painless: no more system wipes and you can basically do whatever you want
How to enable init.d support:
Open a filemanager app and navigate to the location where the XZDualRecovery folder is located and go in to it. Open XZDR.prop as a text file and set dr.initd.active to true.
NOTE: For this guide ROM it means the init.d script called 99SuperSUDaemon will kick in to action, so it's best to disable (by setting chmod 644) /system/etc/install-recovery.sh for the time being or to clear it's contents.
Done
And i'll have this one too, just to be sure.

I can confirm that Xposed Framwork (Xperia Test) won't work with this fw 101. After Install/Update and reboot, you got bootloop. Must go into TWRP to install Xposed-disabler.
I'm using xposed v2.4.1 with .101 work just fine.

I am not sure... Just only restart the flashtool. Also after flashing the ROM dan Off (not reboot), I just On my C6502, complete the setup, and reconnect to the flashtool in flashmode. That's all friend.
Works fine, thanks NUT!
@[NUT]
Once again a beautiful and very well done job buddy. Everything working perfectly here, so far, so good.
Thanks for your continued support on out Xperias.
Best regards
already flash this 101 fw and Xposed Framework also work perfect. But it seem there is still a bug on the power button, just like in 569
I have a rooted (locked BL) 10.3.1.A.67.
Someone have any idea if this will work as well?

In the following guide I suggest you use an external SDCard but that's just good practice, you can use your internal storage or even an USB OTG storage device in TWRP if you like to install, that's no problem!... If you are modding and the likes, best is to have an external sdcard, just for safeties sake.

FAQ & Tips and Tricks
Camera problems?
You have 3 things to try to fix it, try them one at a time:
Clear dalvik-cache only;
Clear the camera app settings;
Do a factory reset in TWRP or PhilZ (this should keep your internal storage safe);
flash the ROM package again;
boot until you can test the camera;
If it works go back to recovery to restore a backup of data.

Downgrading to a 4.2 ROM:
Download C6903_14.1.G.1.534_[NUT].ftf (Bittorrent: 770MB) and flash it using FlashTool. I've also added the FTF to the downloads page on this DevDB tab, this will allow straight downloads as well.
This FTF will allow you to downgrade to .534 without loss of your IMEI :good:
Thanks to @mharckk and @MohammadAG for the workaround which contributed to the creation of this FTF.

Don't complicate things Mr.
You're already rooted, with recovery. That's all that matters. You don't need to uninstall recovery and all that.
This is how I did mine.
Backup your Internet memory onto your pc or onto your ext sd card. (wiping it is safer for me for 100% no causes of problems).
Download the latest which is. 757
Place in your ext sd card.
Download the stripped FTF and place in the firmware folder of flashtool
(update flashtool from 0.9.13 to 0.9.15 please as it will give your error if you use the old one).
Boot your .290 to recovery, wipe everything except your external sd card.
Install. 757 and don't reboot yet. Just power off.
Go to flashtool and flash the stripped FTF.
Boot and enjoy.

Just install the newest recovery over your old one. It's ok.
You don't have to upgrade to 290 first. Just download the above files and directly upgrade to 757.

Well if that's what it states, it's fairly the easiest thing to do. Update to 90 by downloading the flasheable one.
Flash it, reboot back to recovery and follow the process to update to 757

Flashing was ok.
Spotting the apos I had deleted was easy: I made a backup with titanium before flashing, so when launching again titanium after flashing, it lists on top all apps with no backups.
Now I am restoring all backups: there are some com.android.xyz apps that seems have been removed, maybe just newer versions in this update?
Waiting version C6902 to be released ")
I have a C6902 waiting on nut to release it. I am currently on NUT .136 and i will update as soon as he releases it. What are the steps? I have UB and rooted already.
Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitttttttttttttttt!
Dunno why but restoring backups from titanium, moved all my Chrome favourites to MOBILE FAVOURITES in one single list!!! Why?!
is there a way to put all them in place?
This is new.......

Flashtool 0.9.16 by @Androxyde
XZDualRecovery 2.7.124 BETA or newer.
Current rooted FW version: 14.3.A.0.757.
Special features:
SuperSU integrated in system, FULL ROOT!
XZDualRecovery 2.7.132 BETA (CWM & PhilZ Touch & TWRP) pre-installed;
init.d support (read how to enable)
For both locked and unlocked bootloaders!
In the following guide I suggest you use an external SDCard but that's just good practice, you can use your internal storage or even an USB OTG storage device in TWRP if you like to install, that's no problem!... If you are modding and the likes, best is to have an external sdcard, just for safeties sake.
How to update to 14.4.A.0.108:
Files (Find them on the download tab!) :
For C6902: Download C6902_14.4.A.0.108.flashable.zip (1022MB) and C6902_14.4.A.0.108_Stripped.ftf (21MB)
For C6903: Download C6903_14.4.A.0.108.flashable.zip (947MB) and C6903_14.4.A.0.108_Stripped.ftf (21MB)
For C6906: Download C6906_14.4.A.0.108.flashable.zip (970MB) and C6906_14.4.A.0.108_Stripped.ftf (21MB)
For C6943: Download C6943_14.4.A.0.108.flashable.zip (1003MB) and C6943_14.4.A.0.108_Stripped.ftf (21MB)
Save them somewhere you remember;
Put 'C69XX_14.4.A.0.108.flashable.zip' on (the external) SDcard1;
Put 'C69XX_14.4.A.0.108_Stripped.ftf' inside the Flashtool/firmwares folder;
Create a backup of your phone in TWRP and don't forget to backup the contents of 'SDCard' (the internal storage!);
Flash 'C69XX_14.4.A.0.108.flashable.zip' in TWRP (if you notice your phone reboot during the update process, update to the latest XZDualRecovery and try again);
NOTE: do not reboot but go back to the main menu, then go to reboot->power off;
Flash everything in 'C69XX_14.4.A.0.108_Stripped.ftf' using flashtool;
Reboot to system.
The first boot will be slow and after some time at the boot animation you will see Android start optimizing the apps on your phone.
Enjoy! :laugh:
@RHBH has created a deodex package for each of these releases. Check out his thread here.
Need some help?
@shem2409 has made a video guide to aid you in the update process:
Thanks buddy, great work, as always!
Known XZDualRecovery Issues:
Busybox Updater/Installer: If you have XZDualRecovery installed, un-install any Busybox updating app/tool as most if not all of them will install a version of busybox which does not support the lzma compression applets XZDualRecovery depends on. The version installed together with XZDualRecovery is very stable and I have yet to hear anyone complain about it's stability.
How to report errors:
Please, before shouting out "It doesn't work!!1!" or "I lost root!" or even "My phone reboots when remounting /system RW!!" try the following:
Restore any KitKat FTF using any means you are familiar with so you can try again.
Root it using the Easy Root Tool by @zxz0O0 and install XZDualRecovery, or
Install XZDualRecovery using option 3 in the installer menu (installation on unrooted ROM)
Then try to update again using TWRP.
If it still fails something from there on: LOGS!!.
NOTE: The important ones can be found in /cache/recovery and in /sdcard1/XZDualRecovery, pack them up and send them to me or attach them to your bug report.
Thank you

YESSSS!!!!!
Perfect!! Thanks a lot!!!!
It replaces perfectly rooted .761 (C6903), too
Tested by myself using dualrecovery 2.7.132 BETA
I used last Flashtool 0.9.16.1
It's a really good firmware version
I can't find something I don't like this time
Thank you again Nut

It will probably work when coming from any JB or KitKat version, but I tend to keep it a safe bet on the OP
So where is this firmware based? I mean, the countrry, like FR AE and such? Also, if i already have rooted .108 (4.4.4) on my z1 C6903, can i just flash the zip file in twrp and not the ftf anymore? Also, can i dirty flash it?

IF you're on 108 already, why bother?
The 03 version is based on the French release. 02 is India, 06 is US and 43 is Brazil.

I'm on unlocked bootloader, so I'm not in position to test it...
You could try to create a backup of your data partition and then do a factory reset from TWRP. This will not mess with your internal storage if you don't want it to.
Then see if it turns on again. Could be something changed in how it gets addressed in the config...

But seeing you have an unlocked bootloader as well... X-Reality should not even work anymore ever since you unlocked it...
Could someone please post the file called libmmcamera_tintless_algo.so?

Yeah but it worked in 4.4.2 and after flashing 4.4.4 it stopped working, and factory data rest didn't work.

Well... sorry bro: you have to either relock the bootloader or live without X-Reality ... its a placebo anyway.

woop. I guess I won't update for now!
Is there SdCard read&write issue on this firmware too mate? I meant, do we have to edit permission.xml file again after flashing this? I am currently not able to move apps to sd nor i can use third part backup&restore apps like " GOBACKUP" with 4.4.2 , but with the 532 stock kernel i can do it. Issue is still there on the firmware 14.3.A.0.757 stripped by NUT I need your help man. I used everything on XDA, no hope.
