Hi guys. I have a problem with this device: I would like to use this device as a modem (I live in Italy, and I've am italian card), only that it is a mobile brand AT & T, and every time he tells me it needs a AT & T sim card...
Is there a solution? I'm forced to install a custom rom, or is there another way?
Thank you!
At the very least, I think you'll have to root and flash the tethering fix (found in the dev section). That should clear everything up and it shouldn't mess with your current rom.

Thank you so much! I'll try!
Using as a hotspot
Not sure I understand exactly what you are asking?
If the phone doesn't get service with your sim card then you need to unlock it.
If the phone gets service/internet but you just can't tether then use foxfi. No root needed.

Root not required. If you have CWRM, you can simply flash the relevant zip file with the tethering fix.

Hi,
I want to root my xperia z1 compact.
As i read, there are few steps that i need to take before rooting my device - backup TA partition, installing CWM, rooting the device.
Both of the CWM/TA backup require that the device will be rooted but if i will root my device without backing up the TA partition i cant go
back and reinstall the stock rom.
What is the correct order of the rooting process?
If the rooting process will get done correctly can i reinstall my stock rom back(for warranty issues)?
What are the downside for rooting - i want it mainly for Titanium backup and the Lba apps?
Thanks for any help!

If you follow the guide, you should be able to root without Unlocking Bootloader (Which will cause you loosing TA if you Unlock bootloader first)
So, the best way is to Root (Without unlock bootloader) which is in the guidance, then Backup TA, then you can unlock bootloader if you like (to install ROM or other tweaks).
For myself i just need root so i kept the Bootloader lock and have a backup TA just in case.

If i understood correctly, i will be flashing other rom(previous version in which the root witout unlooking bootloader exploit exsist), to my device.
what will be the effects on my device? will i lose my current device configurations - apps/settings/localization/...? where this change wil be noted?
The process is very complicated and with a lot of "Brick" possibilities, will a more noob friendly version should be expected soon?
Yes you will lose your data as stated in the guides. There isn't really any brick potential, if you screw something up you should always be able to start over again.
As long as there is no other exploit, there won't be an easier method.

Hi,
I've rooted my Z1C successfully 2 weeks ago with this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2642081
At step 18 you had to do a factory reset... You should always create a backup. But you're are right, this guide could be more noob friendly
I wish there were some screenshots or more detailed explanations, because after I flashed the first file, I only could see a black screen, a white symbol photo of the Z1C with some japanese (?) characters and the phone doesn't do anything... Can't turn off, can't exit this screen... I was shocked until I see a home screen

Hi,
in my situation it would have been helpful to know following things:
- is it ok to rename the downloaded .ftf files from .zip to .ftf ? --> in my case it was ok, because the windows explorer automatically saves the .ftf file as .zip (also .apk files). --> in your guide, post #8, you wrote that this is not ok.
- as i already wrote in my last post, i thougt my phone got bricked after flashing the first file...
- i got stuck at step 13, installing dualrecovery and got the message "Waiting for device to connect" - in my case everything was configured right on my computer, already checked your tips, but it doesn't work until the fifth restart of my phone... maybe you should also suggest a few restarts when the phone would not be recognized
i've rooted several samsung and google nexus devices, but this phone...
but in general, your guide is really good and helped me!

Great :good:
I rooted and unlocked the bootloader right after I bought the phone so data loss was also not a problem for me.
Factory reset is located in Recovery Menu under 'Wipe data/factory reset'.
In the end you will have an unbranded UK firmware with root access. There isn't really any difference.

What do you mean there is no difference?
What are the diffrences between firmwares? what does firmware means- kernal maybe?
I need to understand if having the uk firmware will cahnge my current "device expereince" - gui, localization. preinstalled apps, or it is
just a change to the os itself without any imapct on the current user interface.

Pretty sure there is no difference in the kernel. There might be a difference in the pre-installed apps or modem, I don't know your current rom so I can't answer that. In the end you won't notice any difference.

Firmware is basically the OS, Gingerbread, Icecream Sandwich, Jellybean, Kitkat, and the main difference between a UK ROM and a Global ROM for example might only be one or two apps at the most.

Sony's UI looks the same on an ROM (that is the same Firmware), and if you need to flash a new ROM to root then chances are you will loose whatever you haven't backed up.

The preinstall apps does not concern me - most of them i will remove anyway...

You don't need to care about that... Just follow the guide you won't notice anything different.
If you are scared so much you could create a ftf of your stock rom (there are guides on the forum).

Let summerize the procedure so far :
1. I will create a ftf image of my stock rom using the guide that i found, here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35910775
in the "How to backup your Sony Ericsson Xperia firmware using Update Service and the FlashTool" video.
In that guide the end result is a ftf file and the root guide asks for zip file, how can i get the zip file from the ftf one?
2. I will root my xz1c as the guide suggests here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2642081
3.ABOUT THAT I AM NOT TOO SURE : on step 19 on sub step 1, i will instal my device ftf instead of the uk one and continue
with the rest of the other 2 sub steps.
Am i correct?
If i am flashing back my device rom or the uk rom at the end of the procedure and both roms are unrooted, how come the device is rooted?
After rooting the device how can i unroot or reroot if needed - i will have to go all the way again?
No.. I meant that you can create a ftf of your stock rom if something would be wrong with the UK one you could flash your old one.
But this won't even happen because the ROMs are almost the same! I don't understand what you are scared about.
There are people from many countries using this UK firmware and no one complained yet.

Ok, so no going back....
After having my device rooted with the uk rom, how cam i localize(keyboard, lang, cell operators, etc....),
the device to my country?
And again with the logical question - if at the end of the process i am flashing an unrooted rom that i flashed at
the beginning of the guide, how can the device be rooted?
I have just been notified that my device is going to get updated to Android ver 4.4.2(KitKat) today/tomrrow, does it changes anything regarding the root procedure?

You just select your language in android, like you normally do
UK firmware does not mean there is only english. There are still all languages available.
In the end you are flashing a zip file (step 19.1), that zip file has root installed.
I am working on updating the guide for KitKat.

When updating to a big android update (Lollipop - Marshmallow) it's always best to do a factory reset afterwards because bugs come up just from updating.
If you have any issues after the factory reset then I'd be worried.

That would be a different process than I did before, do you where I can find correct, detailed info on this?
Also is KingRoot safe? I haven't done much research into that, but for some reason I vaguely remember seeing something about that apk. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Also is this permanent? I read a kingroot method that would be cleared after reboot.

Hi everyone. I am new and I agree that I am complete noob in this field. I have never did any update to my stock vibe p1 ROM because it runs very smoothly and I never encountered a single issue like other users had. Now I want to just Root it but I don't want any upgrades( in terms of version update). I know that this question may have been answered earlier but all the listed method is so confusing. Can anyone please just put the step by step instruction on how to root my vibe p1 and please share the link of the necessary files in this thread. I am sorry for wasting your time but I need to root it to gain access to my network settings. Thanks in advance. :angel:

Thanks for reply. That is the exact thing I meant when i called myself noob. My build is p1a_42_s137_151028_ROW. I did mentioned I got confused though I know this is not a new topic. I think the process (in the link) is for upgrades and what I want is just root because I never got a 100% satisfied user after any upgrades let it be via ota(starting with 30mb patch) or custom Row. My handset works perfectly fine. No lag no heating , no battery draining, etc. I want to root because I want to tweak network settings which is not possible with non rooted mode as SQL is not accessable. Sorry i was not able to provide whole info but I truly don't use blogs or social sites so I lack the idea.

Tell me one thing!
When you tried to root your phone with kingo root tool, did you activated USB Debugging option from developer section ?
If not, activate this option from developer option and try again.
To activate this option you must go to : Settings/About phone/Device information/Build number and press fast many times on it till developer tab is activated.
Go to Settings/Developer options and activate the option from there.
Write here what is going on.

It probably works with the qfil file of your same rom. You need to add and flash bootloader files into the same rom(data can be deleted). ROM version is not important for the bootloader file. If the process is successful, you can install twrp and supersu.zip

No more secure boot error!
I thank my friend @cerg2010cerg2010 for helping me out in patching the aboot.
Supported Model:
Code:
H440AR
-> Steps:
(1) Downgrade to v10a or v10d version of Android.
(2) Root your device.
(3) Download this patched aboot file. Click Here for v10a. Click Here for v10d.
(4) Connect your phone to the computer. In command prompt, type "adb shell".
(5) Transfer the aboot file into /sdcard/ folder.
(6) Type "su" to enter the root shell. Then type "dd if=/sdcard/<file_name_you_downloaded_in_3rd step> of=/dev/block/<your aboot partition>".
(7) Restart your phone by typing "reboot".
You have unlocked your bootloader!
Refer Notes for more information.
-> Notes:
1) The aboot_5120_patched.bin or aboot_10d_patched.bin is the patched version of aboot partition of your device. Secure boot validation has been patched such that secure boot is always valid, so you can flash your own TWRP and Custom ROM.
2) Don't upgrade to any updated version of Android if you get any through OTA update. It might brick your device.
I'll give it a try soon, hopefully if the guys here are correct 4g/lte should work now. Thanks a lot!
Edit: apparently this fixed the issue regarding LTE using argentinian bands, I'll keep testing it but so far it holds even after a call and a low signal area it just switches from lte to 3g and so on (which wasn't working with the other aboot)

Quick question: by unlocking the bootloader I should be able to later flash a custom recovery and then root the phone, right? As the argentinian version seems to be unrootable via kingroot (which is what the general thread recommends). Do I got this right, or is there a simple version to root it? Thanks.

First you need to be on Lollipop.
Root it by using Kingroot.
Unlock the bootloader.
Flash TWRP 3.1.1.0
Flash MM v20b zip proposed by Korelev.
Flash Supersu.
Now you have a rooted MM.

I tried rooting it using Kingroot with no success, both with the APK and the app on PC. Running stock lollipop, obviously. I assumed the argentinian version (H440AR) couldn't be rooted via kingroot, which is why I'm wondering if the only way is to simply unlock bootloader, flash TWRP and then flash SuperSU.

The thing is, you can't unlock the bootloader without first having su permissions.
AR device version shouldn't be a problem.
Mine is Argentinian too and I easily rooted it.
Try with an older version of Kingroot. You can easily find it around apk's sites.
If no luck, try flashing an H440N kdz (I'm on POL v10i) with LG Flash Tool 2014, and see what happens.
You can do a dirty flash if you don't want to lose your data.
P.S.: I even switched from Kingroot to SuperSU. I highly recommend this. Kingroot converts your phone in a turtle.

The thing is, you can't unlock the bootloader without first having su permissions.
AR device version shouldn't be a problem.

Huh, that's odd then, that Kingroot couldn't do it. I'll keep looking into it, then. Thanks for the help, will report back.

Hello there. I managed to use kingroot to root one of the two spirits I have (the other one still doesn't budge, for whatever reason) and indeed it turns the phone into a turtle. I was wondering, is it possible to flash superSU without flashing marshamallow before? Not that I'd mind flashing it, but without the ability to use an SD card as internal storage the main advantage is gone, and I wouldn't wanna have MM if it hurts battery time or fluidity of the phone.

If I don't get wrong, you want to stay on a SuperSU rooted LP, right?
Well, you can get that, not by flashing, but by replacing Kingroot with SuperSU.
you'll have to do the following:

P.S.: If you decide to stay on LP for definitely, I highly recommend you apply the Tomo's tweaks.
They get the most of Spirit running LP:

So if I get this right I should be able to use custom roms after doing this procedure? I've been asking about in the LOS14.1 rom thread but people talking about a bluescreen when they ran out of signal in the argentinian model scared me off. I cant get a new phone atm in case I brick this one. Nobody could give me a definitive answer about it so far.

Yes, following this procedure can get your bootloader unlocked. Also LOS does have that blue scrren error, only if you don't have network service. However it's not that big of a issue. You can prevent blue screen by using airplane mode.

I knew about that workaround but signal is pretty unstable where I live. Specially when I travel and I like to use spotify while doing so. I'd like to avoid it as much as I can. I guess I'll give it a go and if it fails I can go back flashing a stock firmware.

Okay.
So, I've been trying to download this several times but I'm always hit with a trafic limit from the person who shared it. Would somebody share me the files somehow?
