Thanks,
File is now uploaded and in the download section
EDIT
There seems to be a problem ATM. There are links to the mega site where the .zip is in the instructions, but I will try and reupload to the xda server again later tonight

You messed something mate.
You said - flash ROM via CWM but you provided ftf file so I guess there's no need for that step or?!
It would mean we should flash ROM two times, from CWM and from flashtool....?

Great idea, I really need stock, unchanged 257 firmware (rooted) but please, fix this or give us proper instructions.
Tnx

On PC download links are visible

Thanks for the replies and the interest.
1) There is a link to the download in the download section at the top of the project. See the screen shot. However the .zip file can also be found here
2) The instructions are correct. You have to flash the .zip in recovery and root it using the superSU .zip. Then before rebooting flash the 257 ftf to install the 257 kernel etc. You exclude system because you want to keep the rooted system you just flashed in recovery. The ftf has to be flashed in flashtool.
3) Anyone can flash the ftf from any region. If you want to keep your basedand etc, then just exclude system and baseband in flashtool. If you want to flash a FTF of your region though you can flash any FTF and just exclude system.
4) I am currently uploading a direct link to the rom in the download section.

Recovery for locked bootloaders is not included to rom? I have to install recovery again after flashing?

Yes. I have made this as stock as possible for people. I will start including more in the next release.
But you can download dual recovery from here and reinstall it

OK, I have put a link in the instructions and also in the post a few above this one.
I will work on the download section as well.

Hi. This is based on a Vodafone ROM so will it have Voda stuff in it if I flash or will it be generic?

yes, but you will have rooted rom, so you can uninstall it.
I will provide a bloatfree rom soon, but ATM people are after a stock rom with root so that is what I have provided.
In a few days it will be deodexed, bloatware free, etc etc/..

Error
When I flashed it, I got a status 7 error of some sort, just after that, I re-flashed it and it worked perfectly fine until it came time to boot the phone, I followed the instructions given thoroughly multiple times and came out with the same error again and again.

strange, status 7 is to do with the updater script, but it worked fine for me. Also, what exactly happened when you came to reboot the phone?
Can I ask what version of recovery you have installed?

Does this have the same issue as the .101 where the XZDR.prop file needs to be replaced in order to access recovery?

In your SDCard, simply delete the files in the XZDualRecovery or rename the XZDR.prop. If you delete them, they get recreated anyway and fixes that problem you had with 101

Oh, how much I love you right now. Thanks a lot! Will report if I encounter any issue with your files, though I seriously doubt I will.

I'm on unlocked boot loader. Can I just flash the zip and then the ftf file? Thanks

Locked or unlocked BL isn't important with these files.
Just upload the ZIP to your SDCard and flash it in recovery, then power off your phone without rebooting and flash the stripped FTF with Flashtool and you're done.

Thank you guys!
But for those (like my self) who are not experts on this, could you please, provide a detailed (step by step) guide on how to flash it?
If I already flashed it to kitkat (not rooted), can I do it over this one?

My BL is locked, there are easier ways if you have an unlocked bootloader but this will work whether your BL is locked or unlocked. Ive been running it for a few hours now and no issues, root and dual recovery's are working.

If you already flashed 4.4.2 then you do not have root and therefore cannot flash these. You will need to flash back to an older 4.2.2 so you can root and then install recovery. Once you have recovery the steps are:
1 - upload the zip to your SDCard and flash it via recovery
2 - After flash is successful, turn off your phone without rebooting.
3 - Flash the stripped FTF file via FlashTool and boot your phone.
That's it

[Q] How to Root Sony Xperia Z1 compat for Android lollipop

i have sony z1 compact
now i update lollipop 5.0.2
plzzz help me how to root

Go back to Kitkat, get root and wait for a rooted Kernel or usable Backdoor in Lollipop.
Or open Bootloader, but also go back to KK, and wait for a custom Kernel or a Backdoor.
Gesendet von meinem D5503 mit Tapatalk

Step-by-step to get Z1c with rooted Lolipop (for booth Locked BootLoader and Unlocked BootLoader). You can skip step 1 and 2 if already have custom recovery installed:
1. Go back to KitKat (108 is recommended because it can be rooted directly)
2. Root and install custom recovery (Philz Touch is recommended because I have boot loop with TWRP)
3. Download flashable zip Pre-Rooted Lolipop firmware (or create one yourself) and copy it to SD card
4. Go to recovery and wipe your device (wipe for clean installation is recommended). Do not restart your device
5. Install flashable zip PRF from SD card
5. Using FlashTool and TFT rom file (same version with flashable zip) to flash your device again EXCLUDE SYSTEM
Enjoy rooted Lolipop

[Q] I want to root my lollipop version on my Z1 Compact

I tried to update to lollipop and root it but to of no avail. I tried to read many blogs and F*pieces but can not get any thing good. I am using KitKiat 4.4.4 14.A.0.157 rooted. I want to download the latest lollipop version and root it with Custom recovery. I do not want any messed with custom lollipops as i do not trust other people easily. If there is some smooth tool method to simply click and run root method , kindly share with me. If it is not possible and the only way to get a rooted lollipop is by using custom messed up lollipop ftf then paste it here in great simple details I am ready to follow this method. Thanks :laugh::laugh::silly::silly::silly::highfive::highfive:

On my Z1c Lollipop i become no root access. Not with prerooted flashable zip and not with my selfmade flashable zip.
My Z1c is LB and on rooted .108 firmware. After flash preerooted Lollipop the SuperSu app gives my Apps rootaccess, but the apps mean no root viable. (TitaniumBackup or SD-Maid)
Why?

If for some reason the "downloaded prerooted" method does not work, whatever went wrong will probably also prevent your selfmade zip from working. So I'd try to get the downloaded one to work before trying a homegrown one.

That method will work as long as You have a root, no matter the version. So You can use the 4.4.4 one with root access too.

Hi can you be more specific on what to wipe at philz touch because there are lots to wipe options in the philz recovery, do i have to wipe all? also from twrp's recovery so please be specific what to wipe because im afraid to wipe all that doesnt have to be wiped,
also after installing flashable zip in the recovery turning off the phone isn't an option there is only restart button there so is it alright to reboot phone after installing flashable zip in recovery then just turn it off after and continue to using flashtool?
and last one, at using flashtool ist it the stock firmware that i need to flash? is it alright to exclude all? or do i have to check the wipes there and also the kernels below excluding system only? thanks

Hi, I tried this multiple times, im rooted 4.4.4 then installed dual recovery then from one of those recovery then i installed "flashsable.zip" after installing flashable zip which is in "step 5" you mentioned turning off phone, do i really need to do the "step 6"? because i notice something in step 5 since after installing the flashable zip thru recovery there is no turn off option so i choose to reboot then i noticed i started my phone with lollipop installed and superSU installed, but i still did whats in your procedure which makes things complicated since i thought if i didnt continue to the whole process maybe something might go wrong , so i turned off my phone and continued to step 6, i flashed my phone using the stock firmware of lollipop then what happened is the superSU is gone.
so my main point is do i really have to continue to step 6?? or even just up to step 5 is fine?
if continuing to step 6 is important please be more specific thanks

You have to do Step 6 just in case flashable zip file contain SYSTEM ONLY (include Options were not checked when using PRFCreator).
In Step 6, flash your phone with FTF file EXCLUDE SYSTEM. That mean you need to check on System Option within the box of Exclude.

Folks, we already have a thread covering EXACTLY this question - was it really necessary to open a new one to ask all questions over and over again?
Look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/son...lp/rooting-z1-compact-stock-lollipop-t3090021
The instructions included there helped me getting from rooted .157 to rooted Lollipop without touching my locked Bootloader, so they might work for others as well.

That method will work as long as You have a root, no matter the version. So You can use the 4.4.4 one with root access too.

You can use the PRF Creator to create a flashable FTF. You need the SuperSU and recovery too for it.

THanks buddy. I got my lollipop rooted and working. But there is one thing itching me about lollipop. Even though the camera result looks great in this new OS, but the OS new design theme looks sluggish. I do not feel it is working like it should. I mean a very bad version from SONY. KitKat theme was way more simpler and lighter than this lollipop ****piece. Besides cleanmaster keeps telling me the RAM USAGE around 68%-70% all the time:silly:, even though I applied the same precautions I had on kitkat installation. Kitkat used to run on 70% in heavy usage, otherwise it would run lighter around 46% RAM.
Summing up. Lollipop Version for SONY PHONES, SUCKS

Use latest beta of supersu (SR3-SuperSU-v2.79-SR3-20170114223742.zip). It works fine with patched kernel.

Well, I had a working 6.0.1 32.2.0.224 firmware. After flashing this boot.img using TWRP, after super SU (SR3-SuperSU-v2.79-SR3-20170114223742.zip) and wiping Cache/Dalvik cache after --> Stuck on Sony logo.
After I tried "boot_ivy_dsds_11_v1.img" (Update 4) from this thread (by bruno$0): https://forum.xda-developers.com/xp...rnel-ric-disable-twrp-root-dm-verity-t3417078
And all works well now

Root is working only for apps. System is still read only since kernel is not fully patched yet. Anyway system is writable in Twrp if you want to modify it.
