After releasing ROM update, there’s some people asking about DoCoMo ROM and how to flash ROM version 10.1.D.0.343 with root for locked bootloader. This won’t be a problem for people using custom kernel with recovery support as they can flash root in recovery. However, it’s impossible to get 10.1.D.0.343 rooted with locked bootloader through normal FlashTool methods so here I’m proposing solution for all Xperia Z DoCoMo lovers here.
This package contains three files. One for Flashtool file having system partition and wiping removed. Two for files in system partition of ROM version 10.1.D.0.343 having identical files removed. Three for optional wifi fix for people using DooMKernel as WiFi driver is different to ones in DoCoMo ROM.
Requirements:
1. Working Xperia Z having DoCoMo ROM version 10.1.D.0.333 flashed
2. Rooted
3. CWM/TWRP Recovery support
4. Latest FlashTool for Xperia Z
5. DoCoMo ROM version 10.1.D.0.333 Flashtool file in case you’re screwed up
Installations:
1. Copy xperia_z_docomo_10.1.D.0.343_update.zip to storage. If you’re using DooMKernel, copy xperia_z_docomo_doomlord_wifi_fix.zip as well
2. Shutdown and startup to Recovery menu
3. Flash copied files in 1) respectively.
4. Clear dalvik cache (not cache)
5. Turn off your phone
6. Open Flashtool and flash SO-02E_10.1.D.0.343_update.ftf file. Make sure to exclude baseband if you don’t use Japanese model and KERNEL/FOTA if you’re using DooMKernel.
7. Reboot. Now you should see phone starting up with ROM version 10.1.D.0.343 with root and recovery

Thank you so much!
Can you send me the latest version root for firmware .333 before I upgrade firmware .343?
And I don't use DooMKernel, can you send me the last compatible DooMKernel with my SO-02E firmware .333? How do I do with the new kernel?
I recommend flashing SuperSu v1.25 or newer after rooting. For kernel, just flash v06. It's from global ROM but I made wifi fix so that it can be used with DoCoMo now.

My bad. I made huge mistake forgetting to remove clearing system partition line in WiFi fix. Now it's fixed.
ZL?
does this one works on xperiaZL C6503?
i want docomo system coz im using docomo sim card. but my phone is rooted, chenged roms... lol pls help~~ ^^
My SO-02E is always stuck on the Sony logo after trying this update, I've already tried flashing the zip file with TWRP and CWM, not wiping cache and not excluding any file in Flashtool.
Hi,
I'm using the Japanese model (SO-02E from Docomo). My phone is already rooted and has TWRP recovery.
I just want to confirm that I do NOT exclude anything when using Flashtool, am I correct?

Me too, has anyone successfully got this working?
I did the following:
1. installed xperia_z_docomo_10.1.D.0.343_update.zip via TWRP
2. cleared the dalvik cache
3. flash SO-02E_10.1.D.0.343_update.ftf
All I get is a Sony logo
I have the 10.1.D.0.333.ftf and a nandroid backup so I can restore my backup
I think the xperia_z_docomo_10.1.D.0.343_update.zip is borked. I tried everything and it doesn't work
Yep, I've also tried using OTA Root Keeper but then the official update will have errors, so my SO-02E is stuck at 333.
Honestly there's really nothing from the Docomo ROM that I neither need nor use so I'll test out 10.1.1.A.1.253 explained from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2282415 sometime this weekend.
I already have my nandroid and Ti backups and the 10.1.D.0.333.ftf in case I want (or need) to revert back.
I can't really find info about it (or I completely failed to find the obvious :s)
I have a Docomo Xperia Z with (unfortunately) a locked bootloader.
It got updated to .343 by my docomo shop when I sent it in for repairs... And I lost root in the process.
Could I downgrade it back to .333 by using flashtool? So I can root it, and then upgrade it to .343 with this trick?
Or is that a bad idea with a Docomo phone? Wouldn't want to brick it.

You can easily downgrade back to .333 using flashtool, root it then do whatever.
Personally I'm using the eXistanZ V3 ROM on my docomo XZ :good:

check out my thread on how to upgrade to stock .343 w/root.
You'll have to downgrade back to .333 using flashtool, root it and install XZDualRecovery. From there just use my files and you'll be on a stock .343 w/root and XZDualRecovery. I've tested this on my SO-02E and it works. You won't lose any data and apps when upgrading.
hello fellow docomo so-02e users, for those of you that is using roms other than docomo ones, did you get your nfc to work?

No easy method work for now. Only solution is downgrade to 4.1, root and flashing some rom based on .199 build. Or there is some script that should help you retain root with OTA upgrade, but you still need to downgrade to 4.1.

I am very grateful to you. you saved me from headache....
I would like to take advantage of your willingness to ask a few questions....
I have done a firmware backup using the SUS and Flashtool.
Bootloader is locked at this time on my V.
I would like to know if I can install cyanogenmod 11 and in the future I can back to previous original firmware "tft" using this Flashtool procedure ?
-how to install the newest Android 4.3 for Sony XPERIA V LT25
-paste the ftf file downloaded in step c) to folder „Firmware“ included in the XPERIA Flashtool.
-open the XPERIA Flashtool, click on flash and choose downloaded firmware, than click ok.
-turn off your phone and when Flashtool shows pop up window, connect phone to PC with holding volume down button
-after few minutes all is done and your phone gets the new firmware
Installing CM11 Xperia V is automatically rooted ?
Back to previous original xperia firmware, using flashtol, remains something of CyanogenMod ? Device returns unrooted ?
Thank You

First of all CM won't work with locked bootloader, and you can't install it using Flashtool. It contains Superuser app so it's rooted.
You can always flash your device with Flashtool using .ftf files to return it to stock firmware.
If you choose to unlock bootloder consider backing up TA partition of phone (there's a tool for that here but the phone has to be rooted http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292598) so you can restore your DRM keys later (if you return to stock firmware and you want to have Bravia engine and the rest of the stuff dependent on DRM).

yesterday unfortunately, I made confusion between ROOTING and UNLOOK BOOTLOOADER so I have unlocked bootloder using flashtool and the day after I have re-locked it. Have I lost sony DRM ?
I think no... becouse I don't make changes that affected device partition, is it correct ?
So I ve got to wait for better and simple method to root my device before make other experiment, what do you think about it ?

I think you lost it when you unlocked it cause TA partition got formated, it doesn't matter if you relock it afterwards.

Check if in the Album app if pictures change when using Bravia Engine; if you didn't back up your TA partition before unlocking, as far as I know, you lost your DRM keys forever, relocking won't change a thing.

CONFIRMED I lost DRM keys...
At this Point I decide to dance, I' ll downgrade to a version to root device by doomLord patch first. I found a post in which users explain how to install Bravia Engine 2 using PimpMyRom App. Finally I Will upgrade to Last Xperia firmware.... And I' ll do a big backup!!!
Are you according to me? You suggest to me something different?
I'd not worry much abt Bravia Engine. The pics appears slightly brighter, shadows are therefore a bit better, and the colours are a tiny whee little bit more vibrant. If I had to put it into a number the difference is somewhere below the 10 % mark %. You get better results by taking pictures properly in the first place.

It would be better to unlock bootloader again and then root flashing some custom kernel.

A brain and common sense.
1) by FLASHTOOL -> install the stock Android 4.3 FTF*
2) by FLASHTOOL -> fastboot mode and install the v08 Doomkernel kernel.elf
3) by FLASHTOOL -> upon boot, go into recovery**, and install the zip SuperSU normally
4) by FLASHTOOL -> fastboot mode install the provided stock Sony 4.3 Kernel
5) Unplug your phone, boot it, and there you go, rooted stock Android 4.3.
* Which version of latest stock rom do you suggest for my V :
- the first that I downloaded from xperiafirmware.com 9.2.A.1.199.
- the second created (after installation of the first) with Sony Update Service SUS , decrypted by Flashtool and saved into .tft format ?
** ..."go into recovery" is automated upon boot ?
At the end can I lock the boot loader to recive pc companion updates ?

Xperia ZR • Pre-Rooted Stock 10.5.A.0.230
Hi everyone!
Today, the first 4.4 build of Sony for the Xperia ZR rolled out.
So, I've use DIY Guide by @[NUT] to build an pre-rooted version for you. (Me, I'll go back on custom ROM after testing that for you. ^^)
It's available for LB and UB.
Let's go!
Features :
Based on the firmware 10.5.A.0.230 (4.4.2) (Taiwan location for C5502, Nordic location for C5503)
Pre-Rooted
Built-in Dual Recovery @[NUT] 's"XZDR"
Needed files :
For both (C5502/03) :
UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.94.zip (→ Paste it on sdcard)
ZR-lockeddualrecovery2.7.124-BETA.flashable.zip (→ Paste it on sdcard as well)
For C5502 (3G) :
Xperia ZR C5502 • Pre-Rooted 10.5.A.0.230 by Thibou.zip (→ Place on sdcard)
C5502_10.5.A.0.230_Stripped.ftf
For C5503 (4G/LTE) :
Xperia ZR C5503 • Pre-Rooted 10.5.A.0.230 by Thibou.zip (→ Place on sdcard)
C5503_10.5.A.0.230_Stripped.ftf
Installation :
If you coming from on 4.3 :
Flash 4.2.2 FTF or 4.1.2 FTF
Root your firmware with VRoot/Kingo etc (for 4.2.2) or with Doomlord's one (for 4.1.2)
Install Recovery
Boot to Recovery
Wipe cache partition, wipe Dalvik cache and wipe Data/Factory reset
Flash Pre-Rooted Rom .zip file from Recovery
Flash "UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.94.zip" from Recovery
Flash "ZR-lockeddualrecovery2.7.124-BETA.flashable.zip" from Recovery
Switch off your phone
Flash Stripped FTF with flashtool
Reboot your phone
First boot will take longer than usual boot.
You're done!
If you have LB with 4.2/4.3 and Recovery or UB :
Go to Recovery
Wipe cache partition, wipe Dalvik cache and wipe Data/Factory reset
Flash Pre-Rooted Rom .zip file from Recovery
Flash "UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.94.zip" from Recovery
Flash "ZR-lockeddualrecovery2.7.124-BETA.flashable.zip" from Recovery
Switch off your phone
Flash Stripped FTF with flashtool
Reboot your phone
First boot will take longer than usual boot.
You're done!
If you have trouble with recovery, delete the folder "XZDualRecovery" and reboot to recovery with the app "NDR Utils".
Please... Backup your data before starting.
And don't try dirty install. Make clean install to avoid lot of bugs. So, make all wipes.

1.yes, it is rooted after flashing this.
2. If you mean your phone may become a brick, I can say that is very very unlikely. In case things go wrong, u should still be able to recover it to original condition. So the risk is really really small.
3.To do this, you must have your phone's bootloader unlocked, and that means a good bye to your warranty, of course. But if u use Backup TA (search in this forum) and a recovery tool, u can recover your phone and even relock the bootloader and warranty comes back
4. Bravia Engine remains with you. This is an update, it can only be better than before, no way disappeared.
5. Honestly I don't know. But since Folder Mount supports 4.4, it should work here as well.
6. You should check your model if it is C5502 or C5503. If it is 5502, then no problem. If 5503 (in other words Egypt has LTE) I think you can't no longer use LTE in that case you should wait for someone making a prerooted version for C5503.

Then you have to wait, or learn to DIY. Because it's harder to make it prerooted in locked bootloader, and also not many people out there worry about unlocking, so
LB versions always come later than their UB counterparts.

Then you have to wait, or learn to DIY. Because it's harder to make it prerooted in locked bootloader, and also not many people out there worry about unlocking, so

So.. Do you think if i used TA backup it will be just like LB
So where is the download?
another question
micheldjerzinski said:
1.yes, it is rooted after flashing this.
2. If you mean your phone may become a brick, I can say that is very very unlikely. In case things go wrong, u should still be able to recover it to original condition. So the risk is really really small.
3.To do this, you must have your phone's bootloader unlocked, and that means a good bye to your warranty, of course. But if u use Backup TA (search in this forum) and a recovery tool, u can recover your phone and even relock the bootloader and warranty comes back
4. Bravia Engine remains with you. This is an update, it can only be better than before, no way disappeared.
5. Honestly I don't know. But since Folder Mount supports 4.4, it should work here as well.
6. You should check your model if it is C5502 or C5503. If it is 5502, then no problem. If 5503 (in other words Egypt has LTE) I think you can't no longer use LTE in that case you should wait for someone making a prerooted version for C5503.

Ok cool so how do i flash it do i need a custom recovery like samsung or what?
another question
is there any thing bad will happen if i unlocked bootloader ?? and btw iam c5502
Ok guys, I had connection problems. It's uploading now.
I've build the pre-rooted version for C5003 too.
Concerning locked bootloader (LB), actually it's possible to install this pre-rooted version but it's complex. I'll tell you what to do for LB.
As I said in OP, you will have the links today or tomorrow. Be a little bit patient. It's a question of hours. I study during the day...
thanks

ok and thx for pre-rooting
My C5503 is locked and I installed a pre rooted 4.3. I downgraded to 4.1.2, rooted with doomlord rooting kit, installed dual recovery, then flash a pre rooted 4.3.
Will test the 4.4 once it is uploaded

Hello,
I have a Bell Canada Xperia Z1 C6906 (Locked Bootloader) on 14.3.A.0.757 that is unrooted and I would like some help/advice about rooting it with the least amount of distress since while I need the features provided by rooting I cannot afford to brick my phone. So any help would be very much appreciated.
I have looked through the information and I will provide what I know below - is it correct, is there more I need to do?
Install Flashtool and all drivers.
Backup my TA partition for future reference/restoration.
Download FTF firmware that is version .534 - I found C6906 14.1.G.1.534 Rogers CA (which should be compatible even though its Rogers and I have Bell?) and flash it via flashtool.
Root the Xperia Z1 with 360Root.
Download the NUT's latest locked dual recovery
Z1-lockeddualrecovery2.7.123-BETA.installer.zip (10.22MB) and follow the instructions from [DEVDB][TWRP][PhilZ Touch][CWM] XZDualRecovery 2.7.1XX RC
Download C6906_14.2.A.0.290.flashable.zip and C6906_14.2.A.0.290_Stripped.ftf, place *flashable.zip on the SDCard and *Stripped.ftf in the Flashtool/firmware folder.
Create a full backup of my phone through TWRP
Wipe Dalivik-Cache, System, Data, Cache.
Flash " C6906_14.2.A.0.290.flashable.zip", power off. In Flashtool flash everything (check mark System, data etc ?) for "C6906_14.2.A.0.290_Stripped.ftf". Reboot and on language select reboot into TWRP and restore DATA backup. Wipe Dalivik-Cache and reboot.
Update to the newest version of Android - download C6906_14.3.A.0.757.flashable.zip and C6906_14.3.A.0.757_Stripped.ftf from [STOCK][C69XX][4.4] Update to 14.3.A.0.757 [Root & XZDR][DE-/ODEX] by NUT. Place *flashable.zip on the SDCard and *Stripped.ftf in the Flashtool/firmware folder.
Repeat step 7-9.
Should have a rooted newest version of the Xperia Z1?
Did I miss anything or make it too complex? It seems like a lot of steps just to have a rooted and up to date phone.
Don't use 290 version, use 534.
There's a lot bricked device reported when guys flashed 290 over 757 and version before 757 (can't remember number of that version).
Also, if you don't plan to unlock bootloader there's no need to backup TA, it's OK to do that but it's not necessary.
You can't lose DRM keys as long as you don't unlock it.
And yeah...use binary root method (just Google "binary root method xda" and pick first result.
360 and Kingo are banned from XDA because they read and store your IMEI (and that's totally unnecessary)

So I should just stay with .534 and not upgrade at all? I was hoping for an up-to-date version since some of the features in 4.4 are really useful to me.

Hehe....no
Just use 534 to downgrade and root and install recovery.
Then flash NUT 757 prerooted ROM from recovery and flash stripped ftf (kernel) using flashtool.
Only thing what I wanna said is - flash 534 and root it don't use 290 - downgrading from 757 to 290 could brick your device...

Ok!
So downgrade to .534, do binary root, install DualRecovery and then just flash .757.
Also I keep seeing you need to reflash DualRecovery, would I do so after flashing .757?
No need to apply a root process if you are installing dual recovery

Strange, I too have a Xperia Z C6603 (Italian version) Unlocked Bootloader, and have Swedish Lollipop version and it's working really fine.
What I did:
1.Downloaded and unpacked the firmware from XperiFirm
2.Build the package with FlashTool (excluding cust-reset.ta and fwinfo.xml)
3.Flashed it with FLASHTOOL
4.Flashed in FASTBOOT the modified kernel found here which adds TWRP recover ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/development/kernel-unlocked-bootloaders-t3114234 )
5.Flashed the supersu.zip (link in the thread above) to gain Root.
I have no problems with the camera or playstore or even laggy performance, everthing is working like it should.
Try doing what I did and post the results.

You won't notice any difference... anyway you could still flash the .ftf file you created yourself using the steps i said above. The kernel part with TWRP is just for the unlocked bootloader.
Hi!
I've a Trojan (Qysly.BX) on my Xperia E1.
I've scanned it with some app antivirus, but I wasn't able to remove it because I haven't rooted it or, better, I was thinking so.
I rooted my Xperia, but I'm still with my trojan.
What can I do?
Reflash a firmware (or ROM using recovery)
You can also remove the "virus" using TWRP recovery with file manager

Xperia E1 isn't compatible with TWRP Manager I think
Yes, you need to unlock your bootloader, but It voids your warranty
Using flashtool you can reflash your firmware without any problem (and doesn't require unlocking your bootloader)

Also rooting voids my warranty and I've already done it!!! In each case, it will terminate soon.
Can I reflash my firmware without data loss?
I was been making a backup of all my data.
Where can I find the 20.1.A.2.19 firmware for my smartphone?
Is there a guide about how to reflash it?
Can be this? https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1AAC4lt7nzORGdfZGZSTndzTHc/view?usp=sharing
I need to follow this instruction?:
a) download and install latest Flashtool
b) download the 20.1.A.2.19 for Sony XPERIA E1
c) paste the ftf file downloaded in step b) to folder „Firmware“ included in the XPERIA Flashtool
d) open the XPERIA Flashtool, click on flash and choose downloaded firmware, than click ok. Important - if you do not want to delete any data of your phone, just uncheck flashing userdata.sin file. All data will remain in your phone, but sometimes it can cause additional troubles. So it is better (and I recommend that) to do the backup of your personal data, than proceed with clean instalation and then restore your personal data.
e) turn off your phone and when Flashtool shows pop up window, connect phone to PC with holding volume down button
f) after few minutes all is done and your phone gets the new firmware
Can someone tell me if there is something wrong and if this firmware is what I need?
It depends.
D2005 = Single
D2105 = Dual
Like I've said you can flash a new firmware to get rid of that nasty virus, this is also (somewhat) better than using custom ROMs (yes, for a while I used my ROM Cheetah, but It seems official firmware is more stable)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/cr...xperifirm-xperia-firmware-downloader-t2834142
Download the correct firmware, and flash it with Flashtool. You may need to install the drivers for MSM8210 Sony platform
The firmware I need isn't avaible in Xperifirm
