Hi.
I'm planning to install the new PA for Amami and I need a few info before doing so:
1. Do I need to unlock the bootloader? Does PA use a custom kernel or the Z1C stock one?
2. I currently have NUT's XZDualRecovery installed. Will I lose it after installing PA? And if yes, how can I install a recovery after PA?
3. Will I have root if I flash SuperSU immediately after flashing PA?
4. If I flash the Pico version of GApps will I be able to install the rest of the Google apps normally from Play?
Thanks a lot in advance for the help!

Were you ever able to get root & recovery?
One user claimed that it's easy in this thread, but I'd like to hear your experience.

Hey member, wanna' flash CyanogenMod on the phone.
There is lot's(and lots) of info' here on this already, though can't find the links as yet..
If any member/s could leave the links need for CyanogenMod download, and all other links, looks like i need to flash google apps too..
Also, is the 2 sim function working now on the ROM? Ideally it would be good to be back on .41.2 rather than kit kat,.
Thanks for any help.

First you need to upgrade your rom to touchwiz 4.2.2 and then you can flash kitkat or any other custom rom because you can't flash custom rom on 4.1.2 bootloader ... So if your device is not rooted, go to settings and do a software update... Or you can alternatively flash firmware from sammobile... Hope it helps..

Its better u unroot ur phone and flash official 4.2.2 firmware from samobile and root it back...because most of all the custom ROM's use 4.2.2 has their base so u can hardly find and rom which supports 4.1.2 but S there r some but if u want install cm11 based or AOSP based ROM's u should definitely need to update it to latest Andriod 4.2.2....
Good info' again, will unroot, then flash stock 4.2.2, then flash custom rom CM 11.
Thanks for your info'. I hit thanks!
Has members please got the genuine links for the CM11 flash with dual sim , and goggle app thing (all links I need basically) It's hard to find valid info'.. Want to use dual sim though! Big thanks in advance

Good job jackeagle, thanks for the link...
I know this might sound a stupid question- with the CM11 as it's still new, it's still need work done to fix a few issues, my question is, if I flash this, and root my phone, as its a custom rom CM it get's upgraded automatically , when new fixes/upgrades come out right? It's not like stock firmware rooted where i can not upgrade. Right? I mean the CM 11 gets better with time, and i dont have to keep reflashing right>???

First u have to root ur phone and install latest recovery...After flashing this rom u have wipe cache, dalvic cache, factory reset just read instruction carefully and follow it donr skip any step has it can cause major problems or boot loop...No u will not get OTA update in CM coz its not official due to dual sim functionality being experimentally once this issue is solves completely dev's will make it official and then u may get updates via OTA..till then whenever new update is released u have to download full ROM and flash it via Recovery... before installing make backup of current ROM so that if anything goes wrong you can revet back..and its very lite below 250mb.. All the best...

Lot's of good info here... Thanks/respect.
After doing more research, I am hankering toward staying on stock, as phone is set up all good, AND not sure if I want some of the current issues on this experimental version... (Though developer doing good work) Will defo' do it when some of the issues get resolved.. Hope I didn't waste your time. Will use your infos' at a later date, when I am reflash CM11 later on..
I looked for stock 4.2.2 flash on sammobile, though there is no downloads for my location (UK) Can I use another location>? Say Germany or India? Or is that liable to soft brick my phone.. ? ? ?
Thanks to you:good:
Don't install the firmware from other region coz each region has its own setting might me bandwidth 2G or 3G so and in some regions its locked so don't try it u might end bricking u r mobile...search u r region only..

Hey everyone
I have the c1905
I know this must be possible as the ZNXT rom is stock kernel compatible (only one i can find that is though). I've searched but can't seem to find a way around!
My BL is "unlock allowed - no". The problem is i just can't find a way to install a recovery on 4.3.
I can use the install.bat on 4.1.2 + 4.2 to get recovery but can't install ZNXT as it needs 4.3 kernel.
My most recent attempt was to install 4.3 stock and then install 4.1.2 stock using flashtool and excluding the kernel which leaves me unable to boot 4.1.2. I can repeat the procedure using 4.2 for c2005 but i know it's not gonna work.
I found the "SXDXMZ1" rom that was available as pushable and in zip but there's no download links. I've googled it but now had to disinfect my pc as all the links are virused up.
Has anybody got around this or does anyone know of a rom that is compatible with 4.1.2 or 4.2 stock kernel? I can't seem to find one!

i think if you get some kernel that will compatible for your rom. that's will not be installed correctly too bro, custom kernel need bootloader is on unlocked condition bro. so they can be read and work correctly when in boot time

Thanks for the quick reply. I don't get it!! The ZNXT rom says it's LB/stock kernel compatible and even gives instructions to install on LB/stock kernel . What's the point if there's no way to install it from 4.3?? How do the creators know it's compatible if they can't install it?? And how come i can get recoveries on 4.1.2 and 4.2 if they need unlocked BL? I'm very confused here!

Best i can do is give you the ZNXT image extracted from the zip (attached). It's in there i believe. I had to rezipp it as it exceeded xda size rules
I understand them 4.1.2 + 4.3 recoveries were compiled by certain members who are no longer working on the project But this rom stil claims it works with stock kernel/LB

The one i just posted is for the ZNXT v1.01 which i get error status 7 when trying to install via 4.1.2/4.2 stock. I can't find the one for version 2 which i can install via aroma but wont boot, which i assume is due to it needing 4.3 kernel.
What about this:
@Nicklas Van Dam
I've just started extracting the system.sin of a stock 4.3 ftf firmware as i was gonna try and get recovery from a 4.3 custom rom (possibly from the ZNXT) and put it in the stock rom.
I thought i'd ask first to see if this is a possibility before i carry on and waste my time. In my mind it works if the recovery in ZNXT (if it has one) runs on a stock kernel.
If i'm correct the recoveries in CM roms all rely on the kernel or are built into the kernel so using them would not really be possible......... would it?
This would be my first attempt at anything on this sort of level, i've only rooted and installed custom roms before so sorry if the question is noobish.
That's why I tell you to unlocked boot loader, if you still on lock boot loader you can only modified system not to much , and you can't modified kernel on locked boot loader condition bro. I've been trying that too -_+
Hello me again
Every one here in the Group Got confused to have a stock based rom zip
Some lost their loaders. and not booting
So here i had created a small zip file that includes Recovery, Pre-root.
Just single flash and you no need to flash any other zip or any other flashtool to recover

Hi venkat,
Thank you for your work. I am currently on lolipop stock firmware. I lost my root due to update. Is there anyway to root my lollipop without going back to kitkat ?
I am very eager to try Your ROM but I dont have root and recovery.
Any method dealing with small size files would be fine. I have 512kbps connection
Thank you in advance

2 options for you...
1 Go back to kitkat root the phone install recovery.. And than reboot.. After that install pre PRE ROOTED lollipop.
2 Unlock the bootloader Than reboot.. Flash Trinity or Rockz kernel.. Than you have recovery and flash pre rooted lollipop zip....
In option 2 you wont loose data.. Provided if you have unlocked bootloader earlier and than relocked....
Thank You !!!

I did this before your reply.....
Gone back to Jelly bean. Rooted and installed recovery. Haven't unlocked the bootloader. And flashed the Pre rooted lollipop using recovery.
And working fine.
so now the prerequisites for this ROM will only be recovery and root. Not KitKat root.
Will download the updated ROM which is going to be released on Tuesday
Can you upload the files to google drive please Downloading for past 6 hours from mega and now it failed :crying: :crying:
I can resume the download on Google Drive with IDM . A humble request
No problems at all!
Amazing stock Rom. No fc. Flashed from stock kitkat. Everything working fine. It would be great if there were cool mods built in.
Patiently waiting for C6903 version..!

I have stock lollipop with unlocked bootloader, but without any recovery. How can I flash it? Flashing via flashtool other kernel is safe? Or it may do bootloop or smthing like that?
Thx for reply!
You can flash in fastboot, kernel with dualrecovery and root.

hi everybody,i just bought a z1 compact and allow me some questions cause i m a little confused
1what is the best way to root it and stay with unlock bootloader?
2how can i install custom recovery?
thanks in advance.
Well first of on what firmware are you on? From what I know only v108 KK can be rooted without unlocking bootloader. As for custom recovery look for Nut's recovery for z1c here http://nut.xperia-files.com/

It will probably be on KitKat version. You can follow the guide from here to root KitKat and maintain root on Lollipop.
or use pc companion and update os. After root and install recovery new releases.

It doesn't work this way with Sony.
Sony has two layers od security since android 6 ( google dm varity, and Sony RIC), which protects root access.
Also there is question of DRM KEYS,
This makes Sony so irresistible :laugh:
