This ROM is for on the SO-02E (NTT docomo) variant of the Xperia Z and is fully stock and rooted with all the docomo bloatware. No default files have been tweaked in anyway. This ROM is still 4.2.2, docomo needs to hurry up and upgrade to!!!
I made this ROM using the [NUT]'s guide.
I tested this on my SO-02E and everything seem to works.
No reboot issue when mounting the system as R/W and no issues booting into recovery.
No data should be lost and all apps are retained when upgrading so you should be good - but backup your data just in case.
(NOTE: This ROM includes the older NDRUtils 1.0 because the newer version doesn't work so don't upgrade. I've contacted the developer and hopefully he can fix it)
Prerequisite:
Rooted 10.1.D.0.343 or 10.3.1.B.0.256
XZDualRecovery Installed
Installation:
1. Copy SO-02E_10.3.1.B.1.1.flashable_v2.zip to your SDCard
2. Boot into recovery (I use TWRP)
3. Flash SO-02E_10.3.1.B.1.1.flashable_v2.zip
4. Wipe cache/dalvik
5. Power off
6. Flash SO-02E_10.3.1.B.1.1_stripped.ftf with Flashtool (make sure nothing is ticked)
7. Reboot (may take some time upon first boot so don’t freak out!)
Profit!!!

Warning!!!
If you experience a bootloop or if it get’s stuck on the splash screen, then boot into TWRP and do a factory restore (you will lose everything). It may take up to 10 minutes to boot up so be patient.
Any chance root version without unlocking the bootloader?

This is for the unlocked bootloader - specifically this is for the SO-02E which the bootloader can't be unlocked. One caveat is you already have to be rooted and have XZDualRecovery installed before install this ROM.
Try using Easy Root Tool for various Xperia devices and see if it works.
I had a rooted OP3t (4.1.3) with SuperSU 2.79.
I just flashed the latest full OOS (OnePlus3TOxygen_28_OTA_054_all_1706101907_0c4fa6) (4.1.6) to my device with TWRP 3.1.1.2
I have _not_ installed the latest version of SuperSU, so I do not have root right now. I do have the SuperSU app on my phone though.
If I want to install Magisk root, are there any additional steps to first completely remove SuperSU?
Thank you!
I figured it out:
- Flashed signed zip
- Removed SuperSU apk from phone
- Flashed Magisk-v12.0.zip
- profit!
Would have been better flashing v13 Magisk
Can't I just flash that over v12 when a stable version of v13 is released?

Thank you
i want to ask, is this works with ze500CL? i want to unlock bootloader with this way
Hey, Since Asus Unlock Tool doesnt work any way to unlock?
I flashed PureNexusProject-Mod 7.1.2 ROM on my Moto G 2014 a few days ago. The ROM is working fine but I cannot seem to get root access. I tried to flash SuperSu zip from TWRP recovery and it flashed properly but when I rebooted my device, it was not there in the app drawer. Then I downloaded SuperSu and Root Checker from the Play Store just to be sure but both of them showed that the device is not rooted. Please tell me how do I get root access on my device. Thank you!
P.S - Link to Rom - https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/development/purenexusproject-mod-7-1-2-t3605156
HIi xda's,
I am in wait for Xiaomi to unchain my BL .....after so...
Can you please link me to a guide, to safely and easily root the mentioned phone ? (redmi 4x 32gb 3gb. with "miui 8.5.2.0 stable" global version ROM).
Is there any issues with MIUI rooted ROM, except to problems with OTA ?
( i just want to root that device safely so i can edit some system files like HOST etc...) at this moment, i want to stay with the original ROM.)
Thank you.
and sorry for my English in advanced.
Hello.
If it can help you.
I 'm running this rom, i've rooted it with magiksk V14.
you must install twrp before root.
Good luck.
I have just got the permission from Xiaomi and unlocked my BL :good:
most of the new guides of how to install twrp and root, are old or in Hindi, can you please link me to an english tutorial that will work on the relevant version ?
Thank you.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Xiaomi/wiki/flashing/flashtwrp

I originally went with the cofface version since I also wanted to use the stock rom
Eventually I flashed a few custom roms and decided to update to the official twrp later on
If it helps someone,
i flashed TWRP on redmi 4x with "miui 8.5.2.0 stable" global version ROM following that link : https://twrp.me/xiaomi/xiaomiredmi4x.html.
don't forget to root, right after you flash TWRP

Hi,
If i understood correctly;
1) You flashed official TWRP by "fastboot install method", right?
2) Which root method and version did you use? Supersu or magisk or..?
3) You are still on official global stable v8.5.2.0, and official Twrp is still installed (not replaced), right?
And also, i wonder if i can boot to official TWRP recovery temporarily (without installing to the device) and flash Magisk v14.0 afterwards, still on official global stable v8.5.2.0. Will try soon.

yes, you understand correctly the twrp flash method.
i flashed first magisk v12 and then update it to v14. you can flash v14 right away, no probs. now i have changed to 8.5.4.0 global stable(nougat...), and i flashed latest ver of supersu and everything works just great.
