Youre on Xperia Ion, rom 6.1.E.3.7 rite? If bootloader unlocked, just flashing the GI Kernel should work...
Have you tapped the sony logo during boot ?? Tap it as much as you can and see what happens...
Btw how do you flash it? Flashtool ?

Aha Bin4ry tool , i am using it for along time but it can't root this new version.
Now i am using a pre rooted rom , but i will still like to know how to root the stock one.​

If the stock GI kernel dont work for you...Try the OC kernel with root...Just try it as it will give root permission or not...
Or maybe you can try deodexed stock rom rooted....If still dont work, then just wait for the dev to make new way to gain root

It's stock but from the Deodexed thread , and it's working perfectly.​

did you get your pre-rooted stock rom from this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2055043 ?
if not would you please guide me to where you got it from ? is it working well and fast for you ?
a side question ... before you get a rooted rom did you face any problems with connecting to Wifi-networks while having middle eastern sim inserted?
thank you in advance .

Hi! I can't root or flash CWM on my Ion too. Can you post the link to the ROM you're using?

Want to flash CyanogenMod

Hey member, wanna' flash CyanogenMod on the phone.
There is lot's(and lots) of info' here on this already, though can't find the links as yet..
If any member/s could leave the links need for CyanogenMod download, and all other links, looks like i need to flash google apps too..
Also, is the 2 sim function working now on the ROM? Ideally it would be good to be back on .41.2 rather than kit kat,.
Thanks for any help.

First you need to upgrade your rom to touchwiz 4.2.2 and then you can flash kitkat or any other custom rom because you can't flash custom rom on 4.1.2 bootloader ... So if your device is not rooted, go to settings and do a software update... Or you can alternatively flash firmware from sammobile... Hope it helps..

Its better u unroot ur phone and flash official 4.2.2 firmware from samobile and root it back...because most of all the custom ROM's use 4.2.2 has their base so u can hardly find and rom which supports 4.1.2 but S there r some but if u want install cm11 based or AOSP based ROM's u should definitely need to update it to latest Andriod 4.2.2....

Good info' again, will unroot, then flash stock 4.2.2, then flash custom rom CM 11.
Thanks for your info'. I hit thanks!
Has members please got the genuine links for the CM11 flash with dual sim , and goggle app thing (all links I need basically) It's hard to find valid info'.. Want to use dual sim though! Big thanks in advance

Good job jackeagle, thanks for the link...
I know this might sound a stupid question- with the CM11 as it's still new, it's still need work done to fix a few issues, my question is, if I flash this, and root my phone, as its a custom rom CM it get's upgraded automatically , when new fixes/upgrades come out right? It's not like stock firmware rooted where i can not upgrade. Right? I mean the CM 11 gets better with time, and i dont have to keep reflashing right>???
Thanks a lot for your info/s

First u have to root ur phone and install latest recovery...After flashing this rom u have wipe cache, dalvic cache, factory reset just read instruction carefully and follow it donr skip any step has it can cause major problems or boot loop...No u will not get OTA update in CM coz its not official due to dual sim functionality being experimentally once this issue is solves completely dev's will make it official and then u may get updates via OTA..till then whenever new update is released u have to download full ROM and flash it via Recovery... before installing make backup of current ROM so that if anything goes wrong you can revet back..and its very lite below 250mb.. All the best...

Lot's of good info here... Thanks/respect.
After doing more research, I am hankering toward staying on stock, as phone is set up all good, AND not sure if I want some of the current issues on this experimental version... (Though developer doing good work) Will defo' do it when some of the issues get resolved.. Hope I didn't waste your time. Will use your infos' at a later date, when I am reflash CM11 later on..
I looked for stock 4.2.2 flash on sammobile, though there is no downloads for my location (UK) Can I use another location>? Say Germany or India? Or is that liable to soft brick my phone.. ? ? ?
Thanks to you:good:

Don't install the firmware from other region coz each region has its own setting might me bandwidth 2G or 3G so and in some regions its locked so don't try it u might end bricking u r mobile...search u r region only..

If none of the previous methods are working, then the best would be to wait for the kernel sources. The system write protection can be easily disabled while building the kernel from source.

4. install latest version of SuperSU

the update is amazing
a lot better ram management
but u wont notice it if you flash the old kernel
so either stay back on the old update or enjoy new update with new kernel
no need to erase anything

Installin rom on locked bootloader

Hey everyone
I have the c1905
I know this must be possible as the ZNXT rom is stock kernel compatible (only one i can find that is though). I've searched but can't seem to find a way around!
My BL is "unlock allowed - no". The problem is i just can't find a way to install a recovery on 4.3.
I can use the install.bat on 4.1.2 + 4.2 to get recovery but can't install ZNXT as it needs 4.3 kernel.
My most recent attempt was to install 4.3 stock and then install 4.1.2 stock using flashtool and excluding the kernel which leaves me unable to boot 4.1.2. I can repeat the procedure using 4.2 for c2005 but i know it's not gonna work.
I found the "SXDXMZ1" rom that was available as pushable and in zip but there's no download links. I've googled it but now had to disinfect my pc as all the links are virused up.
Has anybody got around this or does anyone know of a rom that is compatible with 4.1.2 or 4.2 stock kernel? I can't seem to find one!

i think if you get some kernel that will compatible for your rom. that's will not be installed correctly too bro, custom kernel need bootloader is on unlocked condition bro. so they can be read and work correctly when in boot time

Thanks for the quick reply. I don't get it!! The ZNXT rom says it's LB/stock kernel compatible and even gives instructions to install on LB/stock kernel . What's the point if there's no way to install it from 4.3?? How do the creators know it's compatible if they can't install it?? And how come i can get recoveries on 4.1.2 and 4.2 if they need unlocked BL? I'm very confused here!

Best i can do is give you the ZNXT image extracted from the zip (attached). It's in there i believe. I had to rezipp it as it exceeded xda size rules
I understand them 4.1.2 + 4.3 recoveries were compiled by certain members who are no longer working on the project But this rom stil claims it works with stock kernel/LB

The one i just posted is for the ZNXT v1.01 which i get error status 7 when trying to install via 4.1.2/4.2 stock. I can't find the one for version 2 which i can install via aroma but wont boot, which i assume is due to it needing 4.3 kernel.

What about this:
@Nicklas Van Dam
I've just started extracting the system.sin of a stock 4.3 ftf firmware as i was gonna try and get recovery from a 4.3 custom rom (possibly from the ZNXT) and put it in the stock rom.
I thought i'd ask first to see if this is a possibility before i carry on and waste my time. In my mind it works if the recovery in ZNXT (if it has one) runs on a stock kernel.
If i'm correct the recoveries in CM roms all rely on the kernel or are built into the kernel so using them would not really be possible......... would it?
This would be my first attempt at anything on this sort of level, i've only rooted and installed custom roms before so sorry if the question is noobish.

That's why I tell you to unlocked boot loader, if you still on lock boot loader you can only modified system not to much , and you can't modified kernel on locked boot loader condition bro. I've been trying that too -_+

[Q] another noob question

hi everybody,i just bought a z1 compact and allow me some questions cause i m a little confused
1what is the best way to root it and stay with unlock bootloader?
2how can i install custom recovery?
thanks in advance.

Well first of on what firmware are you on? From what I know only v108 KK can be rooted without unlocking bootloader. As for custom recovery look for Nut's recovery for z1c here http://nut.xperia-files.com/

It will probably be on KitKat version. You can follow the guide from here to root KitKat and maintain root on Lollipop.

or use pc companion and update os. After root and install recovery new releases.
