i never tried easy root tools but this seems like a good tool for those whom doesn't want to lose their data.

currently, my rooting method was download older version firmware, flash it with flashtool and root using bin4ry's root kit. once rooted, i will proceed to recovery installation. next is flash the rooted firmware package via recovery, FTF via flashtool and then clear dalvik cache. IMO, this is the best solution for new phones or those whom wanted to switch from custom rom back to stock rom.

btw, never ever, ever unlock the bootloader until you backup your TA partition (if you concern about the warranty). this partition is the most crucial where your DRM keys and X-Reality engine was stored. if you unlock the bootloader without backing it up, you are done.

I tried the one click root tool. Stuck at searching for devices but my laptop can detect my phone as i can browse the files in my phone and mmry crd. I tried install the adb drivers,enable usb debugging and uninstall the pc companion already. But still cant works. My xperia zu is on 4.4.4. Any solutions?

Anyway,my tempered glass sp just arrived. M-glass too expensive so just buy mocolo. Nevertheless,the packaging is premium too. Any tips on applying it? First time applying glass sp. don't wanna mess it up.

i gonna change my M-Glass soon but stock has yet to arrive to the seller on taobao, so i expect it arrives next week. i will show everyone how flexible M-Glass is. icon_idea.gif

pricing for M-Glass = Mocolo for front and back. you must get it in a set.

how long do you use the current m-glass before changing? I get rm60 for frnt and back,M-glass also rm60 only?

Anyone having screen issue after put the phone in cold place?
Many times I on my phone in the morning the screen went a bit buggy and laggy,you can tell by look at it that it is LCD problem,but after take it to a warmer place for a while,it went normal. rclxub.gif
I was shock at the first time though have to spend a lot on changing LCD...

How was the glass screen protector,does it collect finger print like normal clear sp?
*
As,hightechgadgets say,due to the oleophobic coating of the mocolo glass sp,the fingerprints easily wiped off. icon_rolleyes.gif

During my 1st test, i took photos of the flaps with a digital camera and carefully focused it. Then only I proceed to dunk it. If it fails, im gonna leak the photos to the whole world but lucky it passed. Then, 2nd dunk is in the swimming pool (i will link the video later). 3rd dunk is due to my friend's prank at the pool, and it remain on the pool's bed for more than 1/2 hours. 4th dunk is at Sony's fair at lowyat, in order to entertain customers (and push sales tongue.gif ).

Can water leaked in through the gap between the phone and the back glass? I noticed there is a slight gap between the back glass and phone. I glued thm myself using super glue., sweat.gif

Oh my. Should have send it for replacement if there is gap.
Not only glue, there is a seal as well.

Warranty has already ended . Not actually a gap,but i meant can lift the glass panel up and can see the glue residue along the sides of glass panel. Maybe the sealant that Sony used wear off? I ended up sealing the glass panel with the phone with glue myself. I guess have to avoid water at all cost ady. cry.gif

Looks like your set has assembly problems. I suggest you claim warranty for it
My previous 3g n two of the LTE sets was a perfect fit

Huawei X1 has a much better quality display, phone speakers ( amazingly good )
Is only marginally bigger than XZU due to its narrower bezels
Antutu benchmarks loses much out to XZU. It doesn't bother me as I don't play games on my gadgets. Day to day use performance equally good if not better than XZU. Battery life is amazingly high to its 5000mAh battery - easily 10-11 hours SOT without any tweaks.
However it doesn't has XZU waterproof features
*
I see. Zu speaker is really bad and disspointing. Better wuality display as in? Retina like? lol.
But comparing,the design and outlook,Zu look more appealing to me.
Wow,thats a long duration sot for that beast! Btw,any tweaks to increase the sot of ZU ? hmm.gif

The battery limits you using it exceeding 5h without root. Other way is root and undervolt the CPU voltage.
*
Undervolt the cpu will reduce its performance rite? hmm.gif
Btw,the glass panel is sealed to the phone by using what actually? Some sort of glue?

you are undervolting CPU, not underclock. these 2 terms are different then each other.
the back panel is sealed with a 3M tape like seal and once heated, it will melt.
*
I see. Any downsides after undervolt? Need particular app to underclock?
Hmmm. Any chance for the tape to wear off?

No significant difference on my previous unit. I was using the cable which I took out from the original dock. From about 5% to full just slightly above 3 hours only
Fake magnetic cable ? Probably is poorer quality

mine as in a short cable with magnetic head which convert micro usb cable into magnetic cable
