The former flagship of the Japanese Sony (we have among us the Xperia Z2 presented last week at the MWC 2014) has given a lot of trouble to their owners.
Having the terminal with permissions root is something that not many dare and if you read on some forums that you can not as easily as one would expect.
Today we are going to present a fully guided tutorial for do not miss. The tutorial is for Windows, and we recommend using between versions of XP, Vista, 7 and 8.'s Latest system from Redmond, Windows 8.1, is still struggling for this process.
First of all say that we are not responsible for any damage that may occur to your terminal with misuse or follow our tutorial.
We recall some of the files that must be downloaded to your computer before you get to the mess. I'll put here and you need every step also to have everything at hand.
- Having a unit of Sony Xperia Z1 with Android 4.2 version. If you have upgraded to 4.3 to make the downgrade you must follow this tutorial.
- Important to have all installed Android SDK (Android are libraries for developers). They are very heavy and you must have the most current get settled all that you can within the SDK application.
- Flashtools : Here you will find the most updated files. Remember that you must download it all in one folder.
- Last version Stock for Z1: We recommend this download to hang that is called 'Central Europe'. It is the last official ROM for the Z1.
- Latest version of Backup-TA : This will help us to make a backup of data you do run some applications own Sony Bravia Engine like. This is just in case we want to unlock thebootloader later.
And now let's go by parts to be able to root our Xperia Z1 safely.
If you feel better, make a backup of all the information in the internal memory to lose nothing, since in these cases it is best to do a full garbage collection.
De-brand (operator goodbye)
This step the hype jump if you have the factory phone free, since this method only serves to remove everything installed network operators and many of us nags too much.
Thus we will have our very close to the factory free terminal. The IMEI no fools.
- We then go down to the last official ROM available for Z1. Now for the stock free of Central Europe, is the version we 14.2.A.0.290. Here you have it .
- After Flash-tools have already downloaded the previous ROM and install the first and then copy the file from the firmware (it's a FTF file) in the "firmwares" folder where you installed the Flash-tools. Usually C :/ flash-tools / firmware /
- Now something very crucial for the future of our operation. Our Z1 must be recognized by the computer . To do this, having already downloaded the file and installed Flash-tools, we see that in the installation folder we have another called "drivers." We go to the Device Manager and see how your computer will have an unrecognized or stockings with yellow asterisk device. We will update the driver by selecting the content in this "drivers" folder of which I spoke above files.
- Taking the terminal detected correctly, and within the application Flash-tools will press the "Flash" icon (the black lightning top left). We ask in which way we want to flash and choose the "Flash-mode" option. still not mobile connect .
- If you look to the left will have a list of files located in the "firmwares" folder as noted above to copy the downloaded ROM. We will choose the ROM that we dropped . And in the right column mark the DATA, CACHE and APPSLOG options to make a factory reset total. Remember to make a backup of all data on your memory with this erases everything.
- Then press "Flash" and telling us a window appears that we connect the Z1 in "Flash-mode" mode . Our mobile is not connected and proceed to turn it off altogether. And go into "fast-boot" mode. How? Very simple. We will press the button "volume down" and then connect the USB cable to the computer (not release the volume button until a blue LED was not on top right of the terminal). As we see movement in Flash-tools as we well know.
When the process ends, your mobile will only start and we will have the latest version stock officer free factory terminals.
Z1 Root
Now comes the big moment, for all / as been waiting all this time: we will root our Xperia Z1 finally.As we said at the beginning, follow to the letter the instructions and do not despises a single moment, we are not responsible for any damage that you may cause to your terminal for not following good guidance that you provide. Let the mess.
- First unload the application Kingo Root Android from here .
- After downloading the file, execute the file called android_root.exe thus beginning an installation on your computer.
- While we installed on our terminal unplugged and still proceed to enable USB debugging in the settings menu and "desarrollor Options".If this option does not appear you down all over "About phone" you should go to "About phone" and will press several times on the "Build Number" option.It will start a countdown until he tells us, "You're a developer." We return and discussed option is active.
- Once the USB debugging enabled , run the King Root Android application installed on your PC beforehand.
- Connect your phone to the PC in normal mode and on the main desktop.
- Then will click on "Root" and the phone will restart just like that.
- Once it rebooted fully mobile, we give permits to ADB Shell accepting and rebooting the terminal again.Once again go to the main desktop box application and we will see that we will have the application installed SuperSU. The open and update the app libraries.
The issue of opening the boot-loader is still not solved in this terminal, as the camera stops working to unlock this section of the device.
Sony has said it is working to fix this mess. So the other day I teach you how to unlock the boot-loader of the Xperia Z1 and you can use various options currently not available to just be an administrator or root the phone.
