How to root, step-by-step.

ok guys, so first, i want to apologize for my bad english. im not very good when it comes to writing and talking.
let's go; what we are going to do is flash the ROM with aan included ROOT, with the posibility of wiping our device.
I remind you that: **I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR DEVICE OR YOUR COMPUTER.**
**I RECOMMEND CHARGING YOUR BATTERY TO 100%**
**I ALSO RECOMMEND YOU TO MAKE A COPY OF ALL YOUR DATA**
YOU WILL MISS YOUR GARANTY IF YOU ROOT YOUR DEVICE**
​
First step: DOWNLOAD THE ROM Through this link and place it in your desktop.
2. you will also have to download ODIN 3​
3.in Developer options, activate the USB Debugging option (Settings --> Developer options --> USB Debugging
Ok, you have to start ODIN and you have to get your device in Downloading Mode. (you will do this by shuting it off. and then pressing *VOLUME DOWN KEY*+*HOME KEY*+*POWER KEY*. when you do that you should press the volume up key) When you are in Downloading mode you should connect your device to your PC.
4. Once synchronized, with Odin, you have to select "OPEN" where it says PDA. select the archive you downloaded before. (the one with the name *I8190XXALK6_I8190XEFALK1_HOME_ROOTED.tar.md5*) (you have to uncompress that item before using it)
5. then you press start in Odin, and wait 'til the instalation finishes. the your device should reboot and odin should show a message saying PASS!
6. then you should be able to boot your device like you do normally.
EXTRA STEPS JUST IF YOU HAVE ANY ERROR​
1. if you cant boot, you will need to WIPE your device instaling this archive and use it like in step 4 through the PDA button.
2. if you still have any problem, you should install this following step 4.
how your device should look like

This will install an older December rom! I'm afraid it's a step back, and bad advice.
Most countries have moved on from the LL2 rom in that file.
The instructions also mention the LK6 rom, which is even older, and not attached above.

this is avicoh first rooted rom and it was posted here on the forum long ago. I dont know why u reposted, to be honest i wayted for u to post but thought u come up with another solution that doesnt include Odin.
Best regards,

Yeah this isn't anything new, I and everyone here thought there was some kind of new ROOTING method. The Rom is already Rooted.

View attachment 2815256
Flashin will take some time after flashin is complete open up recovery while using power+up button during boot up and wipe everything and then after booting up your new rom is flashed voilaaaa.......

Thank you for this, but just in case one of you have flashed the n8000 bootloader on your n8010, and Mobile Odin sees your device as an n8000, you might need to manually download the latest version for the n8010, found in this thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347899

[Tutorial] Downloading Firmware and convert them into .FTF files

Download and make your own Firmware​
Don't misread the title. This tutorial will help you download the needed FILE_xxxxxxxx so that FlashTool can decrypt them and create a bundle to flash.​
Requirements:
Download the XperiaFirmware Downloader tool thing here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/cro...xperifirm-xperia-firmware-downloader-t2834142
Flashtool (use search for this, there are a lot of threads for it)
Patience
A brain
Steps:
First Download the needed programs and install Flashtool and its drivers. For extra explanation you can check my how to use flashtool tutorial. Download the XperiaFirmware Download tool (see link above) and unzip it.
Open it:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

A new window will pop up and select download and choose an location:
Let it download:
Close the window and the program...
Open flashtool and select Tools > Bundle > FILESET Decrypt:
Select the folder with the FILE's and add them to the list on the right:
Flashtool will decrypt it:
A new window pops up and you can create your bundle; select your device, enter the branding and the firmware version and select create:
Let flashtool do it's job and after a while it is done:
The .ftf file is in the same place as the FILE files.. So look up there and share the .ftf in the correct forum!
Good Luck!

Good guide..just a correction
When you create your bundler you only have to mark the .sin files, not the .ta(or something like that)

I always select everything... Works without issues

Thanks it worked.. But I would like to know why remove .ta ??
another person commented that he is not having any issue even after including those files.. Now that's bit confusing..

I read it somewhere that including ta would cause bootloop in some
devices

I've always included the. Ta parts when flashing ftf's myself never has a problem(yet). I thought it was just Ta files of a different device that bricked your phone

Isnt that supposed to Relock the bootloader whenever you flash ta partition ?

[TOOL]Unlock Bootloader on Sony Xperia Z1 Compact without wipe

This guide/tool will let you unlock the bootloader of your xperia z1 compact without wipe userdata (e.g. sdcard), and TA partition. This mean that you’ll be able to flash a custom ROM like Cyanogenmod or ParanoidAndroid! You do not need root permissions!
ATTENTION: If you mess something your device will be hard bricked. This mean that you'll lose your warranty. Neither I nor the forum are leable of your actions.
1) Follow this guide on how to obtain key from Sony to unlock your bootloader.
2) Make a TA partition backup (this will let you switch from unlocked to locked bootloader, and vice-versa without consequences and without any wipe).
3) Download this simple tool that I've made: https://mega.nz/#!cZRXFTIS!PLXKhwbLfTDz7A-wJL_kBDDPiwyxzsBfu9X1321v8Gw.
It requires Java>=1.5 and it works on each desktop OS.
4) Open command prompt (terminal) and navigate to the folder of the tool.
5) Type: cust-rest-gen.jar [KEY]. Where [KEY] is the key that Sony send to you for unlock your bootloader.
Example (just an example):
Code:
On windows:
cust-rest-gen.jar 8FC42DA9D84D7CFC
On linux or mac os:
./cust-rest-gen.jar 8FC42DA9D84D7CFC
This command will generate a “cust-reset.ta” file.
6) Download the loader.sin for your firmware (here for .157: http://d-h.st/rvn)
7) Create a folder (call it “bootloader” to simplify) on your desktop and move loader.sin and cust-reset.ta inside.
8) Open Flashtool (download it here: http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php)
9) Click on Tools->Bundles->Create and set it up in this way (Branding and Version may vary according to your firmware):
​
10) Click on “Create” button and Flashtool will create ftf file on folder “firmware”.
11) Turn off you phone and click on flash icon on Flashtool -> Flashmode -> OK -> Select ftf you have created before and click on “Flash”.
12) When the program tell you, press volume down button on device and connect on PC.
Special Thanks to munjeni that has found how the cust-reset.ta works.

I appreciate the effort to contribute something to the community, please note the following though:
- Unlike what you say in the OP, this will still wipe DRM keys
- You can do this via Flashtool [BLU] icon directly, without downloading an additional program and less steps

I've tried: this is the DRM backup first and after the bootloader unlocker

The size will always be the same. Check the hash and you will notice the difference.

I only ask you 2 things.....Do a firmware upgrade or root the device.
The main problem is the radio application. While I have English as my primary language, the radio only holds Polish and does not have a good signal.
Please Help me

any help?

Look for this instruction in 4pda.ru forum https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=936535&st=11880
Easy! For some reason, it is not described in detail and simply here.
I will try:
- download our scatter file to the computer (laptop);
- Download FlashTool with SP_Driver_v2.0 (firewood) and install on the computer (laptop);
- Download SuperSU.zip and throw in the root of the body;
- Download Android Terminal and install on the body;
- Download also TWRP, this one came up to me, the rest mirrors;
- rename TWRP to recovery.img - this is important!
- we throw recovery.img next to our scatter file;
- open FlashTool, load our scatter file, see that the checkmark is only on recovery! ;
- further according to the scheme as described on the forum - click Download, connect the switched off body and wait for success!
Success will be, of course, if the firewood is already standing and the dad-dad cord is whole.
- Now you need to reboot into recovery. to do this, turn on the body, launch Android Terminal, give the reboot recovery command;
- from TWRP we put zip SuperSU;
- ALL! We reboot and rejoice.
I hope it turned out simple and clear. Good luck!
