Did it on my Z1C, locked bootloader
1. If You are on .157 firmware, flash .108 kernel only
2. Root your device (i used EasyRoot link to DB EasyRoot
3. After rooting flash .157 kernel only
4. Install recovery Dualrecovery, superSu
5. Enjoy

thanks a lot for answering my questions if flash kenal .108 will it show in about ?
i have flash it but it doesnt show in about in the phone and i dont have super user what do do :crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:
Ok, I tried to help, but it seems that you need to do some research about recovery and supersu and find out what is that you want to do after root.
In About phone only way to identify kernels version is it's build date. On screenshot attached you can see that build date is Oct 9th, it's 157 firmware.
Other way to check is just connect your phone to flashtool and it should show all firmware details. And third way is *#*#73784237#*# services menu.

There was article here but no way to find it between millions of others.
Good advice for beginners.
Don't scream "give me", "tell me"...
All those things were described thousand times.
Read. Read. Read. Learn.
You were angry because you lost whole day?
If you won't learn - tomorrow you will come with next question or - worse - bricked phone.
Having root and not knowing what it can do and how to manage it is like playing football using grenade as ball.
I've read some thousands posts before I even started fiddle with my device.
Reading took me a month. And I know Linux.
You know how it is. It is your money on risk. ...
Even advices given here not necessarily are always 100% correct or fit your situation.

WORD! This can not be stressed enough. although a month and a thousand posts seems a bit excessive to me. Any sane person should invest a few hours of searching, reading and learning before they start to fiddle around with their phone worth hundreds of dollars. Know what you are doing! Always remember: You can break your phone irreparably.
I remember the article you meant, it was on the XDA portal once. This clip also illustrates the point nicely. We've all seen it, but some might ned to take it to heart again...

I started read XDA forum two months BEFORE I even bought smartphone.
I wanted to know which one is good/reliable and which is troublemaker.
Then I bought 120$ device to play with.
After a year I bought Xperia Z1C which appeared on market exactly in the moment when I was looking for good powerful phone.

Hello crowd,
Well, I'm going to be mad, or it seems so.
Since a very long time (almost since I have a SE phone and an Internet connection), I've heard about Sony Ericsson Update Service.
Only one problem : I am not able to find it anywhere, even googling the forum does not help me.
I'm sure I'm missing a point there, because the last tutorial explaining how to flash the Arc is saying "You should have PC Companion AND Update Service installed"
I'd be really relieved if someone could help me grab that SEUS thingy.
Thanks
se stopped dev of seus.
they only use pc companion which you can install when you connect phone to computer.
try looking at se developers world site for link.
either that or google is your friend.
Sent from somewhere
Thank you, but I think google isn't my friend (I spent too much time looking for SEUS).
I don't really get it now. How am I supposed to do a backup of the ROM on my phone ?
Did you even search?
"How to backup firmware using Update Service"
You can still back it up using PC Companion.
The files are stored in a different location.
Do a search for "blob_fs".
It may be located here: C:/ProgramData/Sony Ericsson/SEMC OMSI Module/db/13740270/blob_fs
That aside, Update Service still works. Download: http://jp1.ca/androidstuff
It's detailed in the FIRST thread, stickied in the General forum:
Well, mister, I think you'll need to explain me how that video would help me if I don't have SEUS, because it's not explaining how to backup from PC Companion. (PS : this was "the last tutorial I saw" in my first post)
I don't intend to be disrespectful but you shall be respectful either, I'm looking around everywhere since 2 weeks and no one is explain how to backup from PC Companion

Where did you found that ? Certainly not in any Xperia Arc Sticky!
On the other hand, I'm really asking myself why I didn't searched for "blob_fs", that's too obvious...

Sur ce, bonne journée monsieur.
Wow look at that, google does work

To my shame, I must admit I didn't looked into the video description... Maybe I'm getting out of touch but it didn't occurred to my mind one could have put useful info there.
Nonetheless, to my defense, I did googled "Sony Ericsson Update Service" (I'm not "that" out of touch), and tried to download via the website you hilighted... The only problem with it, is that when you try to download SEUS, it downloads you a 1.8MB crapware (I checked and didn't like the content of the zipped exe) and I prefer be seen as a noob/dumb by a handful of person rather than install myself any trojan that may be disguised into anything. I hope you won't mind too much this.
You can say I could have looked further on google, but I did and finally download a SEUS software that wasn't working (network error).
First to say hi, as this is my first post in Xperia arc subforum, cause I get my arc S just a few days ago.
I have a rather silly and stupid question, but I'm curious to know what is this "bootloader status" line in flashtool log means.
I was just doing basic routine of flashing back stock gb rom, after I tested ics for a few days, and I noticed this line in flashtool, which I seems to never noticed before, which says something like, bootloader status: ROOTABLE.
What is confusing me, is that I haven't tried rooting or bootloader unlocking on this phone yet, as it is just a few days old, and the rom I was flashing is the last .69 gb version, the one that can't be easily rooted.
So, is this log normal for a bootloader locked phone, with just a few simple flashings done till now, or I somehow messed up something (I don't know how could I, in the first place).
Thanks, and sorry for such a basic question.
Flashing a ftf file won't need root or unlocked bootloader cuz' Sony update their software via Flash Mode too.
But for further advice, please post screenshot so we can see your "problem"
Oh and this should be in General, Android Development isn't a place for questions
wrong section
go to Q & A ...
ROOTABLE seems like your phone can be root ( it wasn't rooted)

This means you can unlock your bootloader by the official way as mentioned here.

This seems to be legible explaination.
Well, I was just curious (read: paranoid) that I messed up something related to bootloader on my 5 days old phone after just a few simple ftf flashings. And I swear I flashed/unlocked-relocked bootloader my old XPERIA X10 Mini Pro for a 123056 times, and I never noticed this line in flashtool. Or maybe I just wasn't paying attention good enough...
Anyway, thanks for the reply. Someone above mentioned posting screenshot to explain issue further. Well, there is no issues at all. The phone is working perfectly, but I just wanted to know what does this two lines means:
INFO - Flashing loader
INFO - Loader : S1_Loader_Root_773f - Version : R4A066 / Bootloader status : ROOTABLE
Now I know, I suppose...
And sorry for posting in wrong section. Stupid mistake, even more considering I'm not new at all on these forums. I hope mods will move this to right section.

Those two lines are just information about the bootloader and its status. Nothing to worry there.
Some phones' bootloader cannot unlocked by following the official way. For them, the status will be different.

I already checked service menu, and found this. Thanks for the info again.
Somehow I convinced myself that this started appearing yesterday (but it was probably there from the first flash, just that I haven't noticed), and I thought that something went wrong with flashing.
Like I said, I flashed my old X10 Mini Pro for thousand of times, and I never noticed this bootloader info line in Flashtool.
No problem mate..
Btw, nice gallery you have on dArt..

It's not being harsh, its letting them know this is xda, not Android Forums, and had they read anything when they first signed up like most other People who come here to be spoon fed we wouldn't have so many "explain it simpler" threads.

error installing jelly sandwich 3.3
Hi maxio1998, i wipe everything and i installed jelly sandwich 3.3 from recovery but when I reboot the phone is stuck on sony logo ... after 10 minutes I reflashed the stock rom. I do not know what to do, I state that I have locked bootloader, but this should not be a problem as others like me have this rom installed without any problems.
install the previous kernel.
Return to the previous rom, maybe it will be ok

Hello,
I bought a gpad (v500) yesterday and I don't really like the LG bloatware and style etc...
I thought it would be possible to put on the google play edition rom but as I'm reading here that does not seem possible?
What rom would be the closest to a GPE experience or what do you think would be the best rom for somebody loving a nexus 5 stock
also, I already looked at a couple of topics about rooting etc but it seems to me they are all on windows,
does anyone have the steps for mac?

1) One of the CM11 ROMs.
2) Follow this link for root instructions. Look at third line in "How do I use it?" for Mac instructions. But before you proceed, read and re-read it until you are 100% confident that you understand every step. And be sure to follow every step explicitly. And I would also recommend reading every post, and every comment in that thread first, also. If there's something you don't understand, then post a question on that thread. If you make a mistake, you risk turning your device into an expensive brick.

There are very few Mac users around here. I would suggest you try a Google search, non specific to G Pad, like "Root LG on macbook", "macbook can't see android device", and some variants like that. Also, try to PM the OP on the two threads that I posted above.

Well, bear in mind that the Nexus 5 stock is really just the generic Android. Personally, I have never seen the appeal for the plain jane experience, but to each his own. If you leave LG's software completely, you will lose their fantastic weather widget (the best I know of in any phone or tablet), the IR Blaster (including its miniaturized version), their video player, QVoice, QPair, and a number of others. Also, as far as I know, the correct gamma reproduction only exists in stock ROMs.

Qpair works fine with AOSP ROMs. There's a specific thread in the Mods thread regarding how to get it to work.
Is it possible?
re:
I believe it is possible with the Magisk boot,img patch method for rooting. However, I haven't easily found any stock firmware for it, but I did just get this phone and haven't had time yet to look or to dump the firmware off the device.. I can verify the oneclick root apps like Kingoroot, king root, etc are all a fail.

I can verify the oneclick root apps like Kingoroot, king root, etc are all a fail.

Hey, did you manage to get the stock firmware somehow? I've been looking for a while but no luck...
I dearly want to get rid of tcl android. Any word yet of a custom rom?

i only bought this phone because of a google comparison search i made with XDA search result completely misguided if XDA can plz do what you can to help me with this problem i kinda feel like i got it coming considering
Looking for root too!
So am I. How can I help?
If anyone continue searching I find this https://www.thenextdroid.com/root-tcl-10l-without-pc-via-magisk/ it says the on-click apps do work, I don't try yet but if someone try and it works tell us please

Many have we've all failed
I've been wanting to root my phone for sometime but I also failed so I decided to be proactive and emailed TCL Mobile Care to get the firmware or the kernel sources but they aren't cooperating with me.
You can read more on my Reddit post about it if you want.
I've filed a Violation of GNU License today and I'll figure how to report it to Google, but I doubt a single report will do much.
Hopefully it'll take us a step closer to being able to root it.
Edit: I'm a idiot the source code is at sourceforge
Today found this,
https://romprovider.com/tcl-10l-t770-firmware-support/ maybe that helps for the oem firmware. Bought that phone 5 day ago and try to find a solution to root it to.

It's been mentioned in a post on TCL10 pro, much more active than this one and unfortutantly that flash file tool doesn't have the full firmware in it.

Unfortunately there's none at the moment. TCL is very against it and made it quite difficult to unlock the bootloader.
Since it's so difficult I've been asking daily on their twitter accounts for the past month for a way to unlock it since they just ignore everyone who contacts their mobile support asking for a way do to it.
The best I got from them so far was a "thanks for your suggestion" type of message, 2 TCL accounts blocked me but I've created more accounts to spam them.
They replied to me today but I'm skeptical that they'll do anything.

Hopefully they end up sharing the fastboot flashing unlock command, if not it's a matter of time and of hope that someone figures a way to do it

I also contacted TCL and waiting for a link to the latest firmware, they agreed after a long argument discussion to have it delivered to me at 10 days the most. Will upload the link asap. For any news please let me know, thanks
