[Q] Rooting Z1c

Hi All,
I recently got my Z1 Compact, Do I have to Unlock Bootloader to root? Because I already say Doomlord's method and I plan to keep my BL locked.
Is there any other way to root the latest 4.4 Firmware?
Thanks Alot!

My guide #5 at step 13 and 14 will help you how to root and flash custom recovery for 4.4.4(.108 FW).

I'd rather bump this thread instead of making a new one.
Will rooting via Lorenzoval link lose any data and/or unlock the bootloader? Any can rooted phone still receive and install official updates? Sorry, first time using a Sony phone, used to use Nexus. Thanks before.

You will not lose any data and your phone's bootloader will not be unlocked. You can install official updates but you will lose root.

I'm gonna use NUT'S recovery

Will android pay work if I'm un-encrypted but not rooted?

Has anyone tried following the steps from this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUq1xdJ-7-E
but stopping before flashing the superSU? Will android pay work after a reboot?

As long as you are using the stock ROM and not rooted, I don't think it will be a problem.
I followed that guide and even flashed superSU, but when I realized Android pay won't work with root, I unrooted. I was then able to add my cards in Android pay. Hopefully purchases go through fine, no reason they wouldn't as long as you aren't rooted or modified the stock ROM.

Let us know if it works! I want to unencrypt but I don't want to lose any functionality and I don't mind being unrooted for now.

hi thesoldier,
Does Android Pay still work after a reboot? Somehow I read somewhere on forum it doesn't work after reboot.
And is your recovery TWRP?
Do you notice any performance increase when taking multiple pictures after decryption?
Thanks,
Jack

Since my last post I've unencrypted my phone (not rooted).
Android pay works, even after reboot. Performance increase is huge, especially the camera.

Can someone please point me to a guide or provide some direction as to how one unencrypts without rooting? The majority of guides here are about rooting which I am not interested in. In fact, I thought I had to root to unencrypt. Apparently not, based on the above comment.
Thanks,
Derek

Just follow the video ^^ to unlock the bootloader, install TWRP and format data. After the format the encryption is gone. Then just do not flash SuperSU if you do not want root.

I am really excited about the anti shake camera enhancements. However I haven't found a specific setting to toggle this feature. So it could be built in natively.

Where are you from i have a Pro 3 6gb full stock and i am from Romania and didnt recive any kind of update i am on 18s why?

People really should use model names (X720, X727 etc) instead Pro 3.
X727 got this update, not X720.

Why...?
And what are the diffrences between the models ?

Had to manually check, but I'm seeing it too on x727. I'm guessing the other variant will be updated slower despite being released first.

Different bands is only difference afaik, but it is enough. ROMs are not compatible out of the box, and if ROM contains baseband, it screws up the frequencies. And if someone announces new update, it is only for X720 OR X727, not both.

Has anyone else noticed any differences in the camera picture quality at all? I used mine for Xmas pics and got a lot of mixed results but most of the indoor shots came out pretty bad on default automatic modes.

I never unlocked this phone. But today i want to install cm13 and this happened

The 20s OTA update is in the sdcard data folder.
/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.letv.android.ota/files/otaUpdate/5.8.020S_sta.zip
345.77 MB
I wonder if anyone can turn this into a twrp flashable zip

This is already a twrp flashable zip. However, it will work only if you have a unmodified system.

Can somebody confirm/reject the assertion that 20s can still be unlocked? If it cannot, does anybody know how to cancel the update? My phone is telling me that it'll update if I reboot it...I haven't rebooted it specifically to avoid the update, but "never reboot your phone" isn't a very good long-term strategy in my opinion.

Yes, you can unlock. But you have to flash two bins after do the unlock

Which two bins? I unlocked my phone on the 19s, but I'm no master at this stuff. If you could explain in a bit more detail, I (and I'd assume other people) would greatly appreciate it.

oreo update

Does anyone have any idea when honor is going to release the oreo update? And will there be custom oreo roms for the honor 8 pro(DUK-L09) before that?

Maybe end of 2017

My guess will be the following, it may get it in late 2017/early 2018
Custom ROMs?! Definitely before the official

Oreo is still very hot to taste now. Of course none of us here have any idea. Just wild guesses.

Looking at how this works *and since i also have the OP7T from TMo* , As long as your bootloader is unlocked this should work no problems

What' going to happen with new oos updates? Do we have to apply the update as usual and then apply again this tool? Does the tool needs to be updated to support every new oos update?

Of course you need to use this tool again after upgrade。
But this tool is not version related。It works for all versions include future versions without update itself。

After update do we need again do this procedure for root.
And after update do we need install magisk modulr or it will be saved after update ?
