Z1s - Need its own thread? - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone think the Z1s should have its own thread or at least sub-category?
Just a thought.

It's the same exact phone but with a locked bootloader and most likely not much development, so no I don't think it needs its own subforum

I guess I meant more towards its own accessory forum. Much like the LG-G2 Verizon has its own.

This was not confirmed yet by any Developer so wait until then, do not risk to brick you phone, the solution will come soon.

I don't see why we couldn't have our own sub-forum at least. Request for one here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1660354

I already tried. It doesn't work just like how you cannot .290. I doubt you can downgrade to a Z1 firmware.

From the OP of that thread -
Z 10.4.B.0.569 couldn't be rooted with both exploit, so this root tools cannot be used with newer devices/firmwares than Z1 .257.

That's why I didn't link to that method in the first place.
Are you saying that it actually does work? If so, report it in that thread as a supported firmware.

No, it does not work. Tried already and can confirm it's failure.
Is there any way to do so without unlocking the bootloader?
Ive rooted my Z already using the advanced stock kernel v11 by DooMLoRd... thanks to all

Hi guys, just received my Z1s yesterday and I'm enjoying the phone itself so far, but I'm more used to Nexus, & Samsung devices, so I'm a little lost. I did hear the bootloader is locked down on this phone but is there a way for me to gain root at least so I can at least use apps like Titanium backup, n stuff??

Not to mention the entitlement attitude of the OP. Sure, just come into XDA and demand they provide you something. That's how it works.

Short answer : No.
Unlock your bootloader or wait for an exploit/prerooted rom.

I don't think you understand. There are some devices where you cannot unlock the bootloader at all, even if you wanted to, therefore that guide is no use to people that own those devices.
I'm not asking for help by the way. I have an unlockable bootloader and am fully aware of how to root.

Just search in the Xperia Z Android development and look for the rooted 4.4.2 roms by @Rajeev and @zippy01 and follow the steps howto install and tadaa you have root on a locked bl !!!
Verstuurd vanaf mijn LT22i met Tapatalk
LOL indeed.
Please people read and understand what I was responding to before quoting me and trying to be clever again. Posting a guide that requires unlocking then relocking the bootloader is not a method of rooting with a locked bootloader for the reasons in the post of mine that you quoted without reading properly.
We all know that you can downgrade to gain root and flash any stock based rom that you want. You will see that I already suggested it in the second post of this thread.

The z5 forum would have more on it. You need a international ftf finger print files and customize the US one by adding those files than flashing it to your device

Probably the UK one.. Maybe br stands for Britain? You can try any of them if they aren't good to back to us one. I'm curious what customized us one is. If it's been customized for finger print enable. But these are all released a month ago? Before the device was out?

This is exactly why I'm asking.... i'm confused. and then how do updates work?
Regional firmwares are available prior to release. Can't use a device without software. If you flash a firmware from another region, you will receive updates that align with that region. Sometimes they are OTA and sometimes they require either PC Companion or Xperia Companion. UK is the abbreviation for Great Britain for firmware region. The customized US firmware will not support fingerprint sensor.
