10.3.A.0.423 Root - Zipaligned - Deodexed - Rom

Hey guys.
I updated the rom to V2 with the new Advance Stock Kernel with Recovery v07 made by DoomLoRD.
Its for C6603 models with unlocked bootloader.
Before you install the .zip file i recommend to wipe your phone.
Here is the link: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwG6whTUXyqHRU01QmdtZ0tSb00/edit?usp=sharing
The only thing you have to do is to flash the .ZIP file in recovery (CWM or TWRP)
When the phone is ready you a have 10.3.A.0.423 Generic NL (Dutch) rom that is:
- Rooted with recovery menu (Advance Stock Kernel with Recovery v07)
- Deodexed
- Zipaligned
Credits:
DooMLoRD for his updater script and Advance Stock Kernel with Recovery v07
Hope you like V2 of this rom.

Works Great !!!
Thanks!!!

Yes you loose everything.
And no You cant only use the .zip file.
You have to use the ripped ftf to or else your phone wont boot.

What region is this ROM for/from? ROMs sometimes contain extra/different applications based on its region.
And I assume this is unbranded, correct?
Edit: also, any idea if this would work on C6602 or not?

Just go into the ROM and look in /system/etc/product/applications to see what apps it has... also /system/etc/customization/applications. Personally I get rid of all those unnecessary apps anyway, saves me the trouble uninstalling them besides you can get them from the play store anyway.
Yes this ROM will work on the C6602... that's what I have and it runs fine.
Steps:
-Make sure you have the latest recovery:
Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40977606&postcount=1
OR
Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2167381
-Backup all your apps (titanium backup)
-Backup your Sdcard0 just in case
-Nandroid(make a backup of your currnt ROM)
-I like to do a full wipe
-Flash this ROM
-Turn off phone then straight into flashmode and use the latest flashtool here: http://androxyde.github.io/ and flash the stripped down ftf file for C6603 from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=42917602&postcount=1 (15mb)

Thank you, I appreciate the feedback.
One more question, any idea if this ROM includes the Arabic language or not?

Uploading 10.3.A.0.423 Version 2
Hey guys.
I updated the rom with the new Advance Stock Kernel with Recovery v07 from DooMLoRD.
Its uploading now and i will share it tomorrow.
See changes at first post!!!

I can confirm that it's working fine on C6602.
And to answer my own question; no, it doesn't include the Arabic language.
Edit: there's one problem with v2; for some reason, it seems I've have lost access to the recovery and I'm not sure why. In any case, I used XZDualRecovery to get it back.

Maybe because You used the stripped .ftf?
Thats a stock kernel....
You dont need that anymore.

[Q][V][JB4.3] Keep root when flashing 9.2.A.1.199 with flashtool?

I can't find an aswer to my question anywhere, so I'm trying it here.
Phone: Xperia V
Does anyone know whether it's possible to keep root access when flashing the latest 9.2.A.1.199 firmware via flashtool over an older JB4.1.2 installation (rooted 9.1.A.1.140) when unchecking the "Wipe Data" and "Wipe Cache" options?
Or has anyone tried and succeeded? I'm reluctant to try myself as my system is running smoothly, but I'd like to update to 4.3 if possible. Only if I can keep root, though.
Thanks for your help!

That's good news! I assume that is how you managed to root your 4.3 on your TX?

I'm not really sure about that. Data partition won't be wiped but system will be together with su binary file from xbin folder.

Yes, that's why I was concerned. But Superuser also supports OTA survival, and it's installed in the user partition.

I kept my root not actually from 4.1.2 but after upgrading to 4.3.
Flash 9.2.a.0.295 using flashtool
Back up TA partition then unlock bootloader
Use the easy rooting guide:
Using flashtool, fastboot flash custom kernel.elf with recovery
Immediately reboot to recovery
In recovery, mount system then flash superuser update zip
Do not reboot but instead remove the battery
fastboot flash stock 4.3 kernel.sin
Reboot and restore your TA partition
Install scary alien root toolkit and save your root (read carefully the instructions)
Upgrade to 9.2.a.1.210 via OTA (not pc companion)
And that's it, you're in latest 4.3 and you're rooted!

Just one question, what to use to backup TA on .295 without root?
With the tool I found you can backup TA only if you have root.

Sorry, I forgot about that, if you're still in 4.1.2 you can easily root that, you can back your TA partition there and restore it later

I was using xzrecovery only, as I have flashed NUTs 4.3 it included xzrecovery, but it is not working & hence this question thread, as I could not post on the dev thread.
It looks to me an issue with the recovery.
Happy to try out anything if you suggest.
Thanks again for your reply.

Did you install busybox? If you did and you used a busybox installer from the Play store, it probably broke the recovery, as most of them do not install a tool that's essential for the operation of the dual recovery.

Thanks Kingvortex for your reply... No I did not install from play store, I am using the same busybox as included in the xzrecovery installer.
Thanks to NUTs he found the issue, he feels the xzdr.prop file is not read properly by the problem, after deleting that file, now I am able to boot into recovery.
Thanks again.

Rooted c6902 using towelroot v1, installed nuts xz1dualrecovery n supersu 2.00...now

After rooting n flashing xz1dualrecovery with the help of pc and then flashing super su 2.00 i am facing strange problems! After a day my phone is not booting in recovery, no vibration or yellow lights during restart! Then after yesterday i saw that its not switching off when i hold power button and then click 'power off' only reboot to safe mode and holding power n volume up is working. I had uninstalled google play services, google plus n all except google search, google sttings, maps nplay store. I uninstalled youtube and notes too. N Yes i had backed up entire partion via xz1dualrecovery, but after that due to insufficient space i manually delete the backup file from sdcard/clockworkmod/
What do i do now?
And also tell me please that whether i update 4.4.4 via ota when it come(my phone is rooted, bl locked) ? Thanks in advance...
N last of all kindly suggest me what apps do i install now to improve my phone(i had installed busybox free, rom toolbox, android tuner, set cpu, trickstermod, add free and uninstalled them, only root app present is titanium backup pro).

You lost recovery and had all those problems because you installed busybox...
Read OP from XZDualRecovery - it clearly says - do not install busybox.
Busybox is included and if you installed another version you'll lose recovery...
You can flash fw via flashtool and root device again to repair that...

Sure you can...
You will lose root, of course but for now, there's no fw for Xperia which cannot be rooted.
So, when PC Companion say - update is ready, update your device and root ut using easy root, install NUT recovery and you'll be rooted with recovery again.
There's no "better" recovery on locked bootloader, there's only one recovery by NUT.
In that recovery you can choose CWM, TWRP and PhilsRecovery.
CWM and TWRP are my favorites and you there's not much difference between them.
Both will do the job...

I did not do any.of that I think I downloaded a rom or.a set of recoveries that just worked for.some reason. I can't.remember.
Installed custom rom. And messed about got brick fixed.rerooted but now can't get recoverys again
Can anyone help me get recoveries on stock rooted c5303 Xperia sp
