for LTE version??
but it needs to flash the Japan version kernel...
I can confirm that it works without any problems on my SGP321 LTE version. No bootloader unlock required. Finally root! Yay! Thanks!
it is normal to flash US/EU version of tablet z with japan kernel? More replies on successful root welcome.
This bricked my tablet.
Flashed the first file, tablet doesn't start up anymore afterwards, so subsequently can't root or even just reflash the other file.
Haven't had time to look into it yet, but unless someone can recommend something else will have to use Sony Companion to restore.
Moved to general due to op post count.
So does this method work or is it a hard brick?
I tried it on a Mac, running the .bat-commands manually over adb. It worked. Got a rooted SGP321 LTE 16 GB running 307 firmware.
seems to be working.

no idea ofr unlocking bootloader?
Hey guys,
I jumped through several threads here until i found all steps needed to get my Z1 compact D5503 from my rooted KitKat 14.4.A.0.108 to a rooted 14.5.A.0.270,
[paranoia] without the need to install a firmware that someone manipulated for evil purposes[/paranoia]
In the end it was quite easy. I documented the steps - mostly for myself - and maybe someone can benefit from that.
No warranty, that it works the same flawless way for you or for any other Xperia model than Z1 compact D5503 (though it should...).
So just proceed with the steps if you know about the possible risks of killing your phone
If you find any mistakes please drop me a line...
For a cleaned up version go here - thanks
This brings your Z1 compact D5503 from a rooted 14.5.A.0.108 to a rooted 14.5.A.0.270 without any dataloss
User @codified also successfully updated a 14.4.A.0.157 with these steps (see here)
Just upgraded to 14.6.A.0.368 from 14.5.A.0.270 with these steps. Works like charm. And @JarrB reports success on upgrading from 14.4.A.0.157 to 14.6.A.0.368
Pre-requs:
- MS Windows - sorry, I don't do linuxes
- Xperia (Z1 compact) device stock(?) KitKat rooted (Newroot worked just fine without unlocking the boot loader )
- some custom recovery, the fancy dual recovery works just fine, install from rooted kitkat (dual recovery from http://nut.xperia-files.com/) - the installer.zip! not the flashable.zip
Tools needed:
- FlashTool: http://www.flashtool.net/index.php
- XPeriFirm: http://forum.xda-developers.com/cro...xperifirm-xperia-firmware-downloader-t2834142 ahh no longer needed as separate download, as it's integrated in FlashTool now
- PRFCreator: http://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/tool-prfcreator-easily-create-pre-t2859904
Part 1: get a FTF file of the desired firmware
See also: http://www.xperiablog.net/2014/08/1...re-files-using-xperifirm-and-flashtool-guide/
UPDATED THIS PART - thanks to user codified
Open FlashTool and start XperiFirm (XF-button)
Download .270 (or .283/.368 if available) firmware with XperiFirm with auto-unpack (I chose to use the same carrier branded version that .108 was - USE Generic LAM for an unbranded version)
Have two cups of coffee - or tea if you prefer that
The .ftf is now in your .flashtool\firmwares subfolder
Original steps
Open FlashTool and start XperiFirm (XF-button)
Download .270 firmware with XperiFirm () with auto-unpack (I chose to use the same carrier branded version that .108 was)
Use FlashTool Bundle->Create
Select unpacked firmware path
Select Device From list
Add your branding info: Vodafone DE
add firmware version: 14.5.A.0.270
add all but the .ta files to the right listview
DELETE the fwinfo.xml in unpacked firmware folder THIS SEEMS TO BE ESSENTIAL - didn't dare to keep it
create
done. --> ftf file is in configured user home: C:\Users\USERNAME\.flashTool
Part 2: get your pre-rooted ftf file
Download latest SuperSU: http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu or the also as well/better working reported beta 2.49
Open PRFCreator
add D5503_14.5.A.0.270_Vodafone DE.ftf the .tft file you just created in part 1 as ftf file
add UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip as supersu zip
not needed, but also not wrong: add Z1C-lockeddualrecovery2.8.21-RELEASE.flashable.zip as recovery (dual recovery from http://nut.xperia-files.com/)
check all checkboxes, but the "sign zip"
maybe add extra zip
create
done. --> find flashable-prerooted.zip in PRFCreator folder
Part 3: flash your zip
nandroid-backup your phone
have 3 big cups of coffee - please, no tea at this step
get really nervous
wipe dalvik and cache only to get a better feeling
try dirty flash the new firmware with the pre-rooted zip via Recovery, not using Flashtool (OTA is also applied dirty, isn't it?)
whoa, flashing was fast
wipe dalvik and cache again. Could help prevent the unpredicted... could it?
AAAAHHH! booting takes so looohoooooong
Yeah! 386 Apps getting optimized...
looks good
hu? NFC firware update? OK. Go on.
Update for Google play services? YES. Go on.
done. --> be a happy Z1-compact-with-rooted-Android-5.0.2-user
totally optional part 4: Xposed
Now go on and install Xposed for Lollipop v69+ and hope for the best
rubbish! forget it for now, as it is bootlooping :/
done. --> still be a happy Z1-compact-with-rooted-Android-5.0.2-user with Xposed
regards!
done exactly this... rocking LP now
good to read, ltcdata! Happy I could provide sth. useful
While it optimizes the 327 apps in my case, I am wondering at what stage of the process does the firmware get rooted? Or is what is downloaded by Xperifirm already rooted? Very good guide BTW. Seems to go okay as long as you read everything carefully and in the right order. Thanks.
@nagusia thanks for liking my very first guide
Basically the root magic happens in part2 no 8 (pressing the create button in PRFCreator ):
PRFCreator unpacks the unrooted original stock fimrware that XPeriFirm downloaded and stuffs it into a new archive together with SuperSu and the other ZIPs you maybe added.
Code for that can be review in Job.cs at the projects GitHub repo: github.com/dosomder/PRFCreator (I'm still not allow to post outside-links here).
Pretty simple in the end...
I had a problem with charging reaching 89% and then the led randomly blinking. I did a restore to KitKat and there wasn't a problem. Then I thought I'd try flashing another of the DE generic pre-rooted roms posted on this forum. Here is where my problems started. It would get a upgrading - starting apps and then reboot. I tried making my own DE customized rom and the same problem. Then I went back to my orginal UK customized rom and ..... same problem. Finally did a factory reset in recovery and now it seems all good. I don't don't if I still have the charging issue yet. I have a theory that a dirty flash is OK the firs time, but a clean flash or factory reset after subsequent flashes may be necessary.
Dirty flashed from .242 to .270, without losing data. Only had to re-flash the Xposed alpha 4 zip (xposed-sdk21-arm-20150430.zip). It probably saves more time to just add this zip during part 2, step 7...
Thanks a lot for the guide.
Sweet guide dude. but I had trouble finding my region's KitKat firmware and downloading then rooting again seems like so much of a hassle so I did it the dirty way. Beware that this is very RISKY! I first downloaded Kingroot and rooted my device successfully, then installed NUT Recovery Installer version and installed TWRP via PC, then try to remove Kingroot using this guide. Thereafter, I followed your guide sans the flash KitKat step. And it works, Bootloader is still Unlocked. Thanks a lot dude!

The method is not at all risky, as long as You use the proper files!
Also, many people don't prefer using Kingroot as it is said that it shares Your phone information (like IMEI number) to some servers.
Hopefully You meant locked bootloader in last sentence!

Actually by risky, I meant that part, you'll never know what Kingroot does, lol. Oh right, I meant the bootloader stays locked.
I already have updated to .270 via sony companion. Can I follow these same steps and replace current .270 with rooted .270?
@jooxxo
No, you need a custom recovery (root) to flash the resulting .zip file.

ok... well I took a nandroid backup of my kitkat (rooted & recovery obviously) before updating to .270 lollipop. If I restore that backup, will it restore recovery as well?
edit: I just dont want to lose all my apps & settings.
Any way to root if 5.0 is already on my phone?
Locked bootloader.

If You restore Your KitKat nandroid over backup (assuming the backup consists of system and data partitions), then it will cause You problems. The easiest way to keep Your apps and data is backing up them with an app since You are rooted, and then restoring them using the same app to restore apps and data on Lollipop. Don't use the Sony backup app, KitKat backups don't work on Lollipop. ALso to get a recovery after Lollipop, just simply install the XDualZRecovery.

Xperia Z1 Compact sees new firmware (14.5.A.0.283) for carriers in Austria and Germany
by XB on 16/06/2015
in FIRMWARE, XPERIA Z1
Xperia Z1 Compact. A new firmware update with build number 14.5.A.0.283 has been released for the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact (D5503). The update has so far only been released for T-Mobile Austria and Telekom.de in Germany. However, users on these carriers were still rocking Android KitKat (14.4.A.0.157), so this update brings them a first taste of Android Lollipop. It is unclear whether this ‘283’ firmware will see a global release, the same build number has also been certified for the Xperia Z1 and Xperia Z Ultra, although those updates are not live right now.
Thanks for the info, kalaja Much appreciated.
Hi Guys,
I have uploaded the latest Xperia Z1 firmwire (14.6.A.1.216). This is Customized India version of the firmware. Happy Flashing.

@Siddharth Mahendran You should have a Recovery installed on your phone before flashing a Pre-Rooted firmware...
Use Xperia [Nut]'s Dual recovery installer for Xperia Z1: http://nut.xperia-files.com/?ql=162303ad4b67ec4f7c00159b1de0e18807279c4a
If the Procedure hasn't changed(Becoz its been long since I used it), It should have .bat file or some kind of command line script. Have USB debugging and unknown sources enabled on your device. Connect your phone to ur PC and execute the bat file. It should search for the device and it will install the Dual Recovery.
Then, Copy the pre-rooted firmware that you downloaded from here into your phone. Reboot your phone, while booting the notification LED will light up, and then press Volume Down/Up button, based on the recovery you want. Then, wipe system, data, cache and dalvik cache using the option like wipe/format based on the recovery you are using. Then, Choose install->search for the Pre-rooted Firmware you copied,select it and Confirm installation. Once Completed, Reboot device.
Remember That, First boot will take a long time, be patient...
Backup all data before, trying anything on XDA!!!!
I am not responsible, if you do anything wrong or something went wrong in the Procedure!!!

Just use the latest Flashtool, it should solve all the problems with the fsc script... To recover your device from softbrick, don't exclude anything, make sure all wipes are checked and you are good to go. hope that helps.

I think the system isn't getting mounted as rw, and since xposed installer writes to system, it is failing to install. Kindly tell me how to mount system as rw since even after deodexing it isn't getting mounted.

Hello my friends, i'm glad to present you utility for installing custom recovery & root to your phone, working on stock MM .575 LB
You don't need root on your phone to run this utility!
How-to:
* you need stock MM .575 or .291 firmware
* if you have .291 firmware, you need flash stock kernel.sin (575) via FlashTool and turn on your phone. After, when script done and you reboot in custom recovery, flash SuperSU, then turn off your phone and flash back kernel.sin (291)
* download zip and extract to your computer
* enable USB-debugging on your phone and plug phone to computer
* run install.bat as administrator
When all finished your phone reboot in custom recovery.
Then you can install any supersu.zip in custom recovery.
Now you have last TWRP, busybox and root :good:
Enjoy!
FOR ALL WHO WANTS INSTALL Slimm and other custom zips with UUID METHOD READ --> THIS
UPDATE_07.09.2016:
* added support D5833 and D6603
* added stock kernel for FlashTool (see attach). just change .zip to .ftf
* TWRP with new functions like adb backup and auto-reboot (check lastest commits)
* busybox with FULL Selinux support like setenforce, setsebool etc...
* added clean tmp files command
UPDATE_08.09.2016:
* fix error with daemon (adb) - please run this .bat as administrator
UPDATE_04.11.2016:
* add linux installer version HERE
UPDATE_23.01.17:
* twrp 3.0.3 (if you are already have recovery, just copy recovery.twrp.cpio.lzma from this zip to your phone /system/etc/mm_twrp_recovery/ and replace. Don't forget chmod 644)
* busybox 1.26.2 (to update copy busybox from this zip to your phone /system/xbin/ and replace. Don't forget chmod 755)
UPDATE_15.03.17:
* update TWRP to 3.1.0-0

@nepo1992 sorry, but at this moment your device not supported, only D5803. May be in the future....
I've flashed my 5833 with 5803 and it works flawlessly. Nice jog bro.
Really? This is Root and stuff for MM 575 LB without going back to KK (or ugly Kingroot) ?
Outstanding stuff - Thanks to @zxz0O0 @Wolfbreak and of course you @russel5 - :good:
Thanks russel5. Could you tell me if this works on locked bootloader as well? And if the bootloader stays locked?

Yes, it's for locked bootloader (LB in thread name) and yes, bootloader stays locked.
This is basically the "MM TWRP Recovery for Locked BL" I've created months ago for Z3C, Z3 and Z2, slightly modified with root solution already in the pack. Great edit!
Sooo... I can take my factory Sony Z3c, with nothing in system touched since production, run this, and get root, custom recovery, keep DRM keys and LB? Or I missed something?
i tried on z2 and i just replaced the twrp with z2 twrp but device is not supported so can you please support z2 ?
thank you.
