Hi Sirs/Masters,
I would like ask for your help. I wasn't able to root my z1. I recently updated it to 14.2.A.136 via Sony pc companion. After a couple of weeks I tried to root my phone but an error always appears. Please help me. I need to root my phone because it heats up whenever I use it.
THANKS IN ADVANCE.

There is no direct method to root the phone. You need to downgrade first. Use this guide to get root on .290 first:


and then go on this thread to get on a rooted .136:

Just unlock the freakin bootloader already like i did last night. and use flashtool 9.11 instead of 9.13 for some reason it keeps installing the wrong driver for the phone which results in a header error.

I don't know if you know that the v.9.11 is not recommended with Z1 and you risk to brick your phone. Unlocking Bootloader is needed for Custom Kernel only and if you do that you will lose Warranty and some features. Just follow the Video and you will be fine. BTW, windows installed the drivers for me and all was fine.

The finally way to get full Root was:
Downgrade to .134 (NUT's provide) Root and Install the last XZDual Recovery (NUT provide)
In TWRP Flash iHakers 2.1 (minimal) Before boot to system, Flash Lastest XZDual Recovery (NUT provide) and flash lastest Supersu Zip Flashable (Chainfire provide)
Boot to system and restore all my apps with TB open each and every one app that needs root to get it (root)
Go back to TWRP and Now Flash .136 (NUT provide) With only wipe cache and dalvik cache (this is important because is the only way that a could gets the root in .136) Flash again last Supersu.zip flashable.
Turn off my phone And flash the properly stripped.ftf provided by NUT, turn on my phone and get full root.
(in other ways only gets partialy root)
In the NUT thread some people have same problem like mine (Even NUT comment it)
Sorry my english, to bad
Thanks all for your help.

Guys i got the phone recently, i unlocked my bootloader yesterday and i am on 136 now... I dont want to bother with downgrading and so on but i don't have root nor recovery... can't i just flash something rooted with flashtool so that afterwards i'll be able to just flash through recovery on the phone?
I moved from an Xperia S and none of these issues existed there...

Thank you in advance. :)

Oh nevermind gentlemen, thanks for the help ;)

I Solved the issue by simply installing Ihackers advanced kernel.img trough Flashtool with the fastboot method... Pretty simple it got me an instant recovery and trough it i rooted and then installed SuperSU from the playstore... I finally understood the general concept... :D

P.S. I am with an unlocked bootloader so thats why i managed to install the kernel...
