Help with flashing a ROM - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, i wanted to flash rom DstrikerZ1 Kai, could someone tell me simple steps what to do. Got stock kernel and rom.

first of all root your stock rom using KingoRoot and then install Dual Recovery and reboot into TWRP and Flash DstrikerZ1 Kai ROM and ENJOY Xperia X features on your Supercalifragilisticexplidicious Sony Z1

Thank you, should i unlock bootloader or flash new kernel?

no it doesnt need any new kernel

Thank you again, i had a little "fun" with drivers but in the end it all went well. One more question: what are xposed modules?

The Xposed Framework is a way to make system-level changes to your Android operating system without installing a custom ROM.

for the drivers in windows 10 you need to disable signature verfication by booting into windows recovery and do some things!

Thanks again (damn im repeating myself).

[Q] XT1053 Need help with Root

I have the dev edition of the moto x 2013. I've unlocked the bootloader successfully. I flashed the Recovery img with this command
Code:
mfastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.8.3.0-ghost.img
and flashed the SuperSU.zip (UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.40) through the Recovery successfully. But when I checked to see if it was rooted with Root Checker Basic, it said the Device wasn't.
I'm sure that I've done all the steps right in this guide Guide on "Rooting Unlocked Bootloader". Please Help
PS: I'm new to all this rooting and stuff. Sorry if there is a post out there that covers this. I couldn't find any posts that say this guide didn't work.
Did you download SuperSU from the play store? ?

Here is a video guide also... To see if you missed anything,

Thanks for the video guide! I'll check into it later, as it is kind of late here...
No I did not install SuperSU from the play store. I got it from the link the guide provided me. and sorry I can't post a url since i'm new to this forum
You still at need to install SuperSU. You've flashed the binaries in recovery, but need the app if it isn't in your app drawer.

If it is in your app drawer already, open it... See what it says.
Okay. I installed it, updated the binaries, and it flashed for me... It works now. I see why the app is needed. Thank you!!!!
Eh, Quick question, does it matter what android version i need to do a nandroid backup and is it easy?
Android version is irrelevant to make a backup. Yes it's easy... Just go to backup in your recovery, click.... Done. ?

Any word on what the difference is between Taiwan firmware and any european country customization?
I doubt it's the usual case of essentially no difference, given the SGP311 has only a handful of generic firmwares compared to xperia devices with mobile radios. It's also the only non-europe firmware available (from what I've read Customized PH is grouped with europe in spite of the geography)

I got the root guide from this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...how-to-root-lollipop-xperia-tablet-z-t3115107
As for languages, all languages are available. When you first start the tablet, a first start guide will run. The first screen lets you select virtually any language. Once you select it, all future prompts will be in the language you selected. Hope this helps.

I uploaded a video of the Lollipop firmware on my Xperia Tablet Z (you can add this to your OP if you want @dogsly)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XaQIGcX0sJI
Works great and the link to get root worked well on my 351 took all of about 10-15 minutes total :good:
I am getting random reboots in this rom and would like to go back to cm. However, since flashing this rom I cannot reboot to recovery. I've tried the hardware buttons, adb, and various applications and it always boots to system. I'd be grateful for some help.
Recovery not yet available in lollipop.

Unfortunately, by installing lollipop you loose recovery...so there's no easy way back
In a nutshell, you must go back to a kit-kat ROM, root it (e.g. install .283, then install .230 KERNEL ONLY and force towel root from flash tool. Then install 283 KERNEL back) and then install NUTs dual recovery.
More detailed instructions can be found here.

Thank you very much for your reply. I feel pretty stupid - I was very happy with CM and only wanted to try out the stock rom, never would've done so if I had realized it was not easy to go back.
Any ideas then about a possible resolution for the random reboots? Never happened on this tablet before, stock or CM. When I flashed this stock lollipop rom I did not do a full wipe, I did wipe the caches.
---------- Post added at 10:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:00 AM ----------
Well I've gone from bad to worse I used those instructions - I had used this process before to gain root - and got the the part in the procedure where flashtool reboots the device to flash 10.5.1.A.0.283.
Now the tablet cycles through the Sony Xperia screen over and over - it will not boot to system and will not go into flashmode. I can get into fastboot mode but I'm not sure what I can do to resolve this from there.
Again, any help is appreciated.
---------- Post added at 10:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:37 AM ----------
OK - looks like I got it - I simply flashed the twrp recovery image in fastboot mode and that did the trick - restoring my lovely cm 12 now.
All set - thanks again for pointing me in the right direction.
How did you install it? Downloaded the zip file but not sure which tool I should use.
EDIT: Never mind. Flashtool has really come a long way. I used it to get the firmware and then install it. Can't ask for more than that.
has anyone tried using philz touch 6?
Hi, just wondering where did you get the twrp recovery image that you can flash in fastboot? Thanks in advance, I'm currently in bootloop as well

Doogee X5

Hi im new at xda im looking for help with rooting the Doogee X5 phone. If any one has rooted this type of phone i would like some advice as to how this can be done
I am also facing same problem. Any help?
root doogee X5
Just follow this guide http://braineatingcom.blogspot.pt/2015/10/doogee-x5-easy-root-guide-for-newbies.html.
I had same problem with rooting this device, but it is easy.
What worked for me was to use king root latest, then use SuperSU me apk to changec permissions manager tossuper user don't forget to install busybox
This is an awesome device. Despite 1g ram it is snappy responsive and discs is managed perfectly. There are custom roms even. To those facing trouble with twrp, you need to flash the 3.0.2 version instead of earlier versions via flashify or the like. Routed with king root then super su me OR there is a root script on NEED ROM post me for the necessary links.
---------- Post added at 05:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:00 PM ----------
The device showed up as Huwei ideos 8800 idk why but it's uses the same recovery.
(SOLVED,flashed DOOGEE-X5-HOT2-6.0.zip and the twrp recovery from the rom worked.)king root V4.80 couldnt root my doogee x5,earlier i flashed cwm recovery,wich made recovery broke,see atached file.
does somebody know how to restore the recovery,i flashed some recovery s wich didnt work...
thanks in advance

Complete coloros 6 rooting guide (no issues at all, everything works)

Guys , The UPDATE Version RMX1921EX_11_A.16 fixed all issues relating to unlocking and rooting.
Fingerprint works, no lock screen pin error, no magisk installation error (fix for core only mode is below) , safetyNEt bypass also works.
.
Here is the step by step guide.
1- Update to firmware version RMX1921EX_11_A.16. link available in reame website (fingerprint fix is fixed from updates here after)
2- Unlock bootloader
3- Flash twrp by thesprintster, https://forum.xda-developers.com/realme-xt/development/recovery-unofficial-twrp-realme-5-pro-t3985459
4 -flash magisk
5- Flash magisk Core-only fix (this fix is for 5 pro, however i have tried and it works for xt https://drive.google.com/file/d/108eV7pOuX50wQeO84kxmW-wQbZVdx0DZ/view
6-Reboot
Done.
If magisk shows core-only mode, go to settings and untick coreonly mode, enable magisk hide and reboot.
everything should be working now.
when you boot back to recovery the second time, twrp might be lost. flash it again. it will work perfectly from there after. worked for me at least.
This is how i rooted my phone today. I'm not a expert or anything. I took a leap of faith and moved forward.
For those who are going to it, I won't take responsibility if your phone breaks, so try it on your own risk.
Comment your result below, so others can try it out.

How to root Samsuny S9 G960F on Stable Android 10?

Hey guys, please help me out. Since Samsung has now released the Stable android 10 update for S9, please find a way to root it. I am not able to root nor install custom kernel ElementalX on it.
I'm waiting for that too. No point in installing Android 10 until root works for me.
same question.
Ideally without wiping data if at all possible
thanks

I wouldn't recommend that on a main upgrade. It can give unwanted consequences. I always advocate doing a full reset on these.
---------- Post added at 09:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:02 AM ----------
Oh, btw, for my part it has to be a Magisk or similar root, since any visible root prevents me from using many apps I need to have, like VIPPS (Norwegian money transfer app), mobile banking, Google Pay and so on.

Thats the new verify thing from samsung.
The part is, that the system mount point is after init process. The init part has a dynamic mounting part and that is the problem actually.
The recovery rooting is also not working, of part from mounting issue.
I have check the mounting part, with a rooted recovery. At the moment we can not mount the system partition rw.
One way is to find a way patch the init part....but the way is open.
I hope john can help us....

After this modification, is the system "/" partition read/write "rw" mountable?
I wouldn't call that a solution, I'm guessing that this ROM isn't available in Norwegian Telenor version.

Hey I'm on stock Android 10 already. How do I go about this? Flash TWRP and then this ROM? That's it?

Yes. Correct. 1st TWRP, then this rom. If you want to use any Custom Kernel like White Wolf or ElementalX, flash custom kernel after flashing the rom, then Magisk after it.

Read carefully.
Caveat is that if you delete system apps you'll bootloop on restart
