Trying to get 4.4.2 with root - Starting from unrooted device - Stuck on Sony logo - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I have a C6903 and I decided it about time to get root permission (I prefer without unlocking the boot-loader even though I have already backedup TA )
My ultimate goal is 4.4.2 rom with root .
After searching on xda I have found rom that I want :
RomAur v6.2
But it requires :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And therefore I understood that I have to go through another version of 4.4 , so I need to flush:
[STOCK] [C69XX] [4.4] Update to 14.3.A.0.681 [Root & XZDR] [UPDATED]
This rom both for locked and unlocked bootloaders.
I realized that in order to install the this rom I have to go through several steps:
1 . flushing C6903_14.1.G.1.534_ [ NUT ] . ftf with flashtool ( so I could perform root)
2 . getting root and flushing recovery with a Z1 - lockeddualrecovery2.7.100 - BETA.installer.zip ( this is the latest version and it has install.bat file, selecting 3 in the dos menu performs root, after restarting the device I update the SuperSU via googleplay and then I got root).
The goal is to reach 4.4, I understood that I must pass through another version :
At the moment I'm on C6903_14.1.G.1.534 (after I got the device rooted and installed recovery mode) , so I need to flush :
I did everything exactly according the instructions :
All the steps until 10 includes step 10.
And no matter what I tried , the device stuck in boot screen ( I gave it 15 minutes to be stuck on this screen ) :
So what the hell am I doing worng?
Thanks !!!

If you are on 534, just install dual recovery and then flash romaur, done

Do I need to preform all the instructions? (from 534, after installing dual recovery):

Check on the dual recovery OP about the fix you need to flash for romaur.

Together with the fix (flushed after romaur and before dualrecovery) if I will do all the instructions (staring from 534 with dualrecovery), Including flushing the ftf in the end, should it work?

I'm worried about the kernel didn't flashed. I don't know. Try to flash again, wipe everything.

It works fine with DooMKernel #4 on Xperia Arc S (1.4GHz)
Now, I can see that it is LT15i in phone info - I'm not shure what was before.
No errors during flashing, clear install.
I just flash the zip file with DoomKerneL recovery and my LT15i boots on ICS. Thank you for the archive.
It runs very good. I don't like that it has a lot of sony appl that I don't need. So, I had to uninstall them

I think what the OP tried to do is to flash /system and /data via CWM (this step is suspectedly failed via flashtool). 2nd, step is flashing the rest of kernel.sin, baseband etc via flashtool. In my case, it will stuck at Sony logo.
Then I flashtool the full official ftf, and excluded flashing system.sin - and it works that way.

my sony arc is down please help

hello i tried to flash with the jealy bean firmware but unfortunately the power went down and it stopped now it dosent show anything but the sony logo is.is it off ???or can anyone can help me fix it please help!!!!!!

Just flash a stock rom with flashtool. All should be ok then.
Cheers
Hello,
Please post in the Right Section. This belongs to Q&A. [Q] What I can do...
The only thing you can do is:
Buy a new Battery or charge the old battery with and external charger.
Please only flash ROMs with more than 50% Battery since you need a bit Juice to recover it incase of problems
Or do you mean the Power of your PC went off? Cuz' your kernel should show "FXP" not "Sony" unless someone changed kernel splash screen... If thats the prob use search man, and use flashtool... Think what you can do in case of problems, before acting
King Regards,
Jader
If you see Sony logo then you have stock kernel i think and you say you tried to flash JB rom with stock kernel? To flash JB rom you must unlock the bootloader and flash a custom kernel like (fxp, lupus or fusion) and then flash JB rom trough CWM recovery (included in custom kernels). To fix your phone now there are 2 solutions:
1.Use PC companion to repair your software
2. Use flashtool and flash any stock rom

You can use SEUS, provided you did not unlock bootloader. If it's unlocked, you can always relock it.

Stock one, not patched.. If u use seraja xposed then your services.jar is patched..and patched services.jar cant verify OTA update.
I'm on stock rom and just rooted with newroot and installed dual recovery ( NDR utils)
Towelroot
the newroot tool roots the phone with the towelroot exploit...but towelroot makes you unable tu update...you can update manually by using flashtool (you will loose root) after that you flash only the .108 kernel and root with newroot again. After rooting on .108 kernel you flash only .157 kernel than you have new .157 firmware with root
P.S .157 seems to have lot of bugs ... just google this... i stay at .118 (vodafone version of .108) cause .157 doesnt come with new features

[STOCK][LOLLIPOP] D6503 23.1.A.0.690 BAL | Rooted | No recovery | Mirrors added

Introduction
Here's a pre-rooted stock Lollipop for locked and unlocked bootloaders.

This have been made for D6503 Z2 but may works on other variations, let me know

spanjeli said:
For all of you who have problems with root, just open super SU and untick "mount namespace separation" and restart the phone. If you use Es Explorer, uninstall apk and install again and check root privilege and that's it, RW now should working perfectly

yes
no
everything is working
Can we use this with Official Marshmallow beta firmware?
Also, I've heard that xperia series doesn't have recovery partition so users should use FOTA partition which enabled by custom kernel.
I guess when user press a volume key, some script in custom kernel detect that and let the user enter the TWRP.
My question is, how do we enter the recovery when we have UNLOCKED bootloader, but sony STOCK kernel? Does volume key entering method enable just by flashing this twrp img?
At first you need to flash the New Bootloader (you can do this when you flash the .264 firmware with flashtool (flashing via twrp does not work))
Then install this recovery via fastboot to recovery
After that this recovery works with MM
simply hold vol down while booting
i cant flash this recovery and original twrp via fastboot and i dont know why , i have rooted Z2 with unlocked bootloader.Debugging i have on too.
I used flashtool to get the phone in to fastboot mode, coz I'm lazy. I opened up a cmd window and typed something similar too..
Fastboot flash recovery twrp3.img
