Hey
I have C6903 with boot-loader unlock enabled (didn't touch it).
Currently I am running unrooted stock rom.
I want to root my device but I don't want (and don't have the time) to flash an updated rom each time android gets updated
long story short..
I want to get automatic system updates on rooted device without rerooting or reflushing my device.
In addition I would like to keep using some of sony's features (like stamina mode) but erase the rest.
thanks for the help!

It is not possible. All the System Updates will wipe your Root. To keep Root you will have to do it manually all the time when a Update will be available. Apps updates like Walkman ecc.. You will can update them Automatcally.

What is the closest solution to my request?
You send me your phone in the post so I can do it for you.
I mean, in all honesty, how busy do you have to be so that flashing a rom is too much trouble for you.
You could have it rooted and flashed in the time between your two posts in this thread

OK, yes, I can use titanium to backup and restore it all, but how can I figure out what is the most recommended rom dioxide stock or custom rom) for Z1?
I don't want to start trying them all..
My only request is satisfying buttery usage (I also like sony's dialer but I probably can install it on any rom).

In my Opinion when you will get a 4.3 or 4.4 Rooted and Deodexed Android and it satisfide your needs, then any Update is unecessary.
Stock is good.
Updates make huge changes and sometime they are not the right choice.
Like a new phone come on the market then is the same with Android.
You don't have to buy it.
Am I right?
what is LB-UB?

LB = Locked Bootloader.
UB = Unlocked Bootloader.

or you can revert back to official rom as 4.3 is coming in few days

Hey,
i really don't know how to title this question, but i love flashing new roms and try a lot, so i'm looking for a software suite or an app, where i can backup my important stuff(Whats App, xda,Pictures, etc.) and then can flash a new rom and recover the apps and other stuff back, so that i have a new rom installed but with my old stuff on it.
Is there something like that ?

If you don't have root how are you going to flash a new rom?

Without root youre screwed, in all fairness you haven't installed everything properly, with an unlocked bootloader you certainly should have Root access to get the most of your phone, otherwise whats the point.
Do it all again, attain root access and then do what the user said a little earlier, although i prefer google keep for notes, it's lighter.
Titanium is a must have.
Since the beginning I was using Titanium.
But somehow I came over to Nandroid Manager Pro witch IMHO is just perfect and easier to use...

If your bootloader is unlocked, yes, if not, don't yet know of any that actually works.

For one who has a lock bootloader, The only way I know is that u have to downgraduate to a vision which is easy to root and REC, Andriod 4.1 for example. After that u may update to the latest vision by a flashable zip using the CWM, then flash the kernel by flashtool.

True, I actually did that before now that I remember. I just made a deodexed/zipaligned/rooted 4.3 flashable zip ROM out of the latest .199 FTF, but I haven't tested it yet; I haven't seen any other flashable 4.3 ROMs for XTX.

Cool. With mine I first want to see if I can manage to add Philz recovery to the stock kernel which I'm currently using, that way it will be a complete flashable zip file, with recovery and everything.

By any chance is the zip you made deodexed? If it is, does "Settings" force close when you open the sync menu for your Google Account?

Well, I initially flashed the version found here, but after booting it wouldn't detect my Sim Card, so I then flashed my version, and the only problem was what I mentioned in my previous post - Settings would FC every time I'd open the Sync menu for my Google Account.
Every time I flash a ROM I always wipe /system for good measure, but then I tried again with the initial version that wouldn't detect my Sim Card, except this time I didn't wipe /system manually (which supposedly is done by the script anyway, from what can be seen in the updater-script), and now it's working fine, no issues at all.
Hi Guys.
I remember on the Nexus 5 people were kind enough to offer flashable zips to reduce the height of the nav bar.
Is anyone able to do this for the N6?
Would greatly appreciate this.
I know that there are a few ROMs that have this in the options. I'm running liquid smooth, and it has this, and so many more customizations on top of it. If you're going to try a ROM, give liquid a try.

Mostly all custom roms have this feature. If I was op I'd just switch to a custom rom because even if someone made the mod (I can do it) then when the next Ota comes it's going to fail because you did system mods and then you're going to wonder why the ota didn't work.
Just make life easy for yourself and flash a custom rom. Find the rom that's best for you not because of what someone offered you. Each rom has their own unique experience. Some may have everything, some may have minimal and just what you need. Depends what you want.

I hear what your saying mate but flashing a rom would mean having to resetup all my apps and everything else.
With a flashable zip i could carry on using my phone without having to redo everything.
When an OTA arrives i would start start from fresh again but life would be easy as i use Titinium Backup to restore apps and data.

You just contradicted yourself, like you said you'd eventually have to redo it anyways since you're invalidating your ability to flash OTAs.

What im saying is i wouldn't have to do the apps as Titanium would store my apps, but not system apps.
When flashing a different rom that is a no no. On stock it isnt a problem.

Titanium can be used to restore user apps on any ROM. In fact that is the recommended course of action. Its not a no no. Only restoring system data is a no no, which you shouldn't do stock or otherwise
Hello all, I've come to bring you news that I have the latest Lollipop firmware for the Xperia Z3v with Verizon. From my understanding, it seems a couple of people are having trouble prerooting their downloaded firmware and are encountering trouble with it. I grabbed my FTF from Xperifirm and followed the instructions on my guide as it went to get it all together hassle-free.
Without further ado, here it is: https://mega.nz/#!24swjQgQ!7o4tB05IEqNEC88UwE5cbESG_8hQFi7YVHZazz8h8iQ

Hey so I just debloted this and I deleted 87 apps and 570 mb space..
And my phone works 100%. I could delete more maybe 10 to 15 max it just depends on what your needs/uses for the phone are. Thanks again. Some food for thought You can get the project desire 4.0 sound mod for z2 z3 it works awesome. (take a back up just in case) The z4 bootanimation is better and smoother than ours. Xposed modules= -no device check- - xblast tools- -native freezer- -xinternalsd- -xperiafmwohs- -Xperia xposed LP - all of these are worth your time enjoy.

But the other way XDA home- search - z3..- then go into Z3v Android Development you will find the new firmware there...
If your not rooted Read the root guide first if you got this far you can find it.

All I've really noticed is a boost in performance. Also, I believe I was getting around 5 hrs of SOT with .485 and now I'm getting around 5:30, but I haven't gone through enough battery cycles to make any definitive conclusions. Only thing you have to worry about is the fact that 509 is a lot zippier and feels a lot lighter than .485

I might suggest going with the Z2 compatible version since the Z3v is basically the same as the Z2 in terms of physical design and they both run under the same production name Sirius.

Dude I was going to do this to get the stagefright exploit patched but it's already patched on 509 check for yourself and I checked my build prop and all my stagefright media is on true.- not vulnerable- so I have to say I'm very happy and if verizon ever pushes the ota we will have advanced calling. (Edit) I belive this 509 firmware may actually be 5.1.1 even though it says it's 5.0.2- this could be possible since when I looked up firmware 485 it had 66xx so... -because my stagefright exploit is fixed and I can't activate advanced calling - meaning I can get into the menu but not to the verizon part- 5.1.1 integrates advanced calling so.. This may be 5.1.1 (edit)- it's not - its 5.0.2 with stagefright patch and some ui updates over 5.0.2 -485 firmware

You can only flash this through a custom recovery. The actual ftf is elsewhere. While I'm here, if you want root you must get it on KitKat then flash this zip to maintain root. If you don't need root find the ftf and flash through flashtool. You can not get root once on lollipop, other then downgrading back to KitKat.

So, if I understand correctly, after I've obtained root with KitKat, I then flash the zip provided in this thread using a custom recovery such as TWRP, and then I will have a rooted lollipop device?
