[Q] Kernel for Resurrection Remix® 4.4.2 KitKat v5.1.4

Hi,
I have Cosmic ROM with Evolution Kernel 1.7.6. Now im trying to update to Resurrection Remix® 4.4.2 KitKat v5.1.4 using below instructions.
Make a backup of your EFS. Read more HERE
- Make sure you are either on any KitKat ROM (CM11, SlimKat, etc) or on 4.2.2 TW based ROM and NOT on 4.1.2 TW based ROM
- Download the latest build
- Download Gapps
- Take a nandroid backup
- Recommended - Full wipe and factory reset
- Flash ROM using latest ClockworkMod recovery
- Flash Gapps
- Reboot.
Reference: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2613412
But while installing Gapps i got an error in installation.
I tried to restart the system thinking i can install required gapps after phone is up. But phone is struck in rr logo only.
do we need to use different kernel for RR ROM?? Please help me to resolve this.
Thanks in advance.

[Q] 4.4.3 Global version Firmware

Can someone give me the Android 4.4.3 Kitkat Firmware 19.1.1.A.0.165 Global Version? I need it please not rooted version just Global and default version.
I'm gonna try to root it by Flashing whole 4.4.3 ftf then flash 4.4.2 kernel then root with EasyRoot kit. After that I will flash the 4.4.3 kernel back. Is it gonna work??? Is system apps now modifiable?? Like modded Playstore. In Pre-rooted stock 4.4.3 Modded Playstore does not work because of system apps restriction and cannot be modified. Even it is rooted so I want to know if this method will work. Please give me the the Android 4.4.3 Kitkat Firmware 19.1.1.A.0.165 Global Version ftf file. Thank you!

It will not work. I've tested it on my D5303.

Is there any way to make it work? Its sad to be just like that. I need root access to system apps.

Is there any other way to make it work to modify system apps???

Dear Bro,
You can try with Pre Rooted firmware PRF Creator tool. I have not tested but I think you should try. You know, each try tells us "this is not a perfect method"

yes it's gonna work
many tried this, just read the forum
but 4.4.2 it's needed
where to find 4.4.2 rom and kernel stock?
with experifilms I can download only the last rev...

Android Lollipop rooting issue with PIE Security Check

Yesterday I updated my ROOTED Lollipop to the latest build 5.1.1 , but after the update I lost the root , so I tried to root it again with iRoot program , but I got this error message :
Error: only position independent executables (PIE) are supported
Then I tried many many of rooting apps but still facing the same problem and getting the same error !!
I looked for this issue, and I found some sort of fixes but I couldn't understand anything, because I'm not an Android expert.
So can you please give me a solution because I need my device to be rooted. And with an easy and simplest way please !
Device : Sony Xperia Z1 COMPACT
Model Number : D5503
Android version : 5.1.1
Kernel version : 3.0.4-perf-g4fd66c3
Device build number : 14.6.A.0.368

In short: Flash back to an earlier version (using Flashtool), root it, install NUT's XZ dual recovery, flash a pre-rooted ZIP of LP 5.1.1 (you find some here on xda), and enjoy your rooted android

Thanks for the reply .. For curiosity, can you please explain to me what means this error and why it exist , as I read it was since 4.1.1 , and personally I didn't face it when I updated android to 5.0.2.

Mainly it attempts to unlocked bootloaders. but there is a workaround for the error, so if you had still installed a running recovery the whole backflash was useless

Originally it was written for nexus and motorola devices, but it fixed my Z1C too, so i guess its not devicebound

I want to ask a thing:
I'm on latest 5.1.1 and want to root.
I think that flashing kernel only of previous (5.0.2) root and then flash a recovery can help me.
It's true? Because if I can root in that way:
I have the full ftf file of 5.0.2 version...how can I flash kernel only of 5.0.2 from flashtool?
Someone can tell me which options I have to check and which don't on flashtool to flash only kernel?
Or can post me a link to a kernel only ftf of 5.0.2 for italian firmware or CE1 ?

Z1 Compact stock ROM 5.1.1 Kernel to run Suhide

I have stock ROM 14.6.A.1.236 on my Z1 Compact D5503 and I want to install Suhide. But it is only for ROM 6.0 and above because of something like Kernel format (elf) is not supported. What I can do? I do not want to flash custom 6.0 ROM because of camera and stabillity issues. Can I somehow install working Kernel so the Suhide should be installed? How the new Kernel will affect device?

There's no custom stock kernel for MM for this phone, and probably won't be, unless Sony makes MM rom for us, by some miracle...

You can flash any custom ROM but don't flash any firmware (don't flash firmware)

All ROM required you to flash firmware, since you are already using latest MIUI ROM you don't have to flash any firmware
Flashing older firmware file will brick your device so it's better to avoid flashing any firmware file

thnx alot bro for explaining
