This thread is a replacement for @Jamal_RS thread of Root 14.4.A.0.157 [ LB / UBL ] because there is no kernel file to download. So I uploaded kernel .108, kernel .157 and rootkit that I always use to root and it works.

Here the Download link
http://d-h.st/M9a

How?
1) Flash kernel .108 with Flashtool (Flashmode Mode)
2) Root with rootkitXperia_20140719 by double click on "instal.bat"
3) If root process has done, flash kernel .157 with Flashtool (Flashmode Mode)
4) Done

Another method:
1) If you're still on FW .108, root your phone but not deodex, and update OTA. If your rom already deodex, it will fail to verify.
2) If you're on FW .157, downgrade to .108 and follow step no.1

Done.

Hi all
After flash kernel C690X_14.4.A.0.108_KernelOnly.ftf
My Z1 Compact (D5503) has a big problem. The LCD monitor is a black color (not active - but speaker, LED... still active))
I thinks this kernel is wrong with my Z1 Compact (D5503), It cannot detect the LCD panel.

Hi dudes, please download and check files in the .zip. I have download my own .zip file here and check, here's the list:
1) D550X_14.4.A.0.108_KernelOnly.ftf
2) D550X_14.4.A.0.157_KernelOnly.ftf
3) rootkitXperia_20140719.zip

So I don't know which file that @vanne88 downloaded. It's not my fault or wrong upload.

So, does it work on locked bootloader? Is a wipe needed? I really don't like to loose my settings and data unless I can't use titanium or things like that because of no root.

Problem with rootkernel!!!

Hello there!

One thing I don't understand, is when I click the download link in this post, it takes me to Devhost and download Root kernel .157.zip.
The question is, HOW do I deal with this file? once I double click it, it takes me to install some third party downloader and a mystartpage thingy. Where can I find the kernel?

I'd be glad if you can assist me with this, because Rooting my Z1 Compact is Hell of a complication and this is my fourth day trying to root it!! I am no noob since I have been rooting many android devices throughout the years, but this one is the most complicated one! I'd appreciate the help, thanks!!

Why are you using EMMA if you have a locked BL.

It's from not reading properly that you've confused yourself, so read this - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2631291 to clear it up.

Thanks for the link. Been reading some of the newer threads - that one looks much more informative.
I am using Emma because I thought (reading this thread) that I could still use it with a locked BL albeit in Flashmode??:confused:

I am powered off, holding Volume Down key and then inserting the USB cable with volume down key still held.
The green led flashes for a brief second and then goes off and Emma says 'Lock phone detected'
I also tried Volume UP key as a test and the blue light stays on until I disconnect the cable, but Emma does not detect the phone.

I will read the above linked thread in detail.
Cheers!

Thank you very much to reply the questions while I'm not here @XperienceD
I have tried this root method many times, on my locked bootloader device, I didn't have problems like others experienced it. So I share this here because I'm sure It's safe method.

    Thanks for the files and the howto :)
    Just tried it that way and root was working after the update. :good:
    Note: I have SuperSU Pro and activated the option to try to keep root on OTA

    BUT: /system was ro and with the OTA, RIC got reactivated, preventing every attempt to mount /system as rw or even try to write with su in terminal emulator
    Sidenote: /system rw is needed to enable Xposed framework, which I essentially need for Screen-Off NFC - writing the necessary files also failed because RIC blocked write access to /system

    The easiest way therefore was to flash the .108 kernel with the Flashtool, started the EasyRoot tool - which realized that my device is already rooted and therefore just killed RIC and enabled /system rw access permanently like I had before the OTA - flashed the .157 kernel and now, root and /system rw are working, effort was under 5 minutes.
    Camera and other stuff needing the TA partition is also working :)


    Hopefully, there will be a similarly easy way to root Lollipop without unlocking bootloader :p


    PS: On a sidenote, the only thing your guide is missing is a link to the Flashtool or to a guide on how to get it ;)

    Hi there,
    as i remember, you are loosing root after upgrading from .108 to .157 and only workaround is to play with flashing kernels.
