Hi,

I want to root my device and on a previous thread(http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2684273),
I was basiclly directed how to flash a new rooted rom, with a lot of steps on the way.

I didnt rooted my device and i want to do it now.
As i understand there is now a faster less complicted way - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2784900.
Is it safe? was it used already by forum member here? how long the entire process needs?

Thanks in advance for any input....

Depends on your aptitude and ability to follow instructions, and a hell of a lot longer if you need to start a new thread for others to hold your hand through the process. :angel:

Ok, I'll do my best to follow instructions and be as patient as possible.
You are right regarding the "holding my hand" thing, i dont want to brick my device, yet....
Any real answers?

Thanks any way!

It has over 100'000 downloads, so I think it's safe to say that it was already used by forum members. The entire process takes around 1 minute.

If you are using Sony Z1 Compact, you can use every firmware you want (which is available as of today).

It says in the thread:

Bootloader is untouched!

This means that if your bootloader is locked, it will stay locked.
