[ROOT][Z] How-to for rooting newest firmware 10.3.1.A.0.244/2.67 - Xperia Z Android Development

[ info ]
So guys I have got root on the newest firmware 10.3.1.A.0.244 / 10.3.1.A.2.67!
Since Sony has patched our beloved perf_event exploit (with which we rooted 30+ Xperia devices) I had to find an alternate way... so I did the smart thing, just used the kernel on which the exploit works, root the device and flash back the newest kernel!
THIS WORKS ON BOTH LOCKED & UNLOCKED BOOTLOADERS!

[ how-to ]
Download the three files from the download section below
open FlashTool and flash the XperiaZ_C660X_KernelOnly_10.3.A.0.423_Generic_NL.ftf - 7.12 MB file, this is JUST the kernel of an older firmware which was rootable
now once flashing is done reboot device and connect to PC in usb debuggin mode
CLOSE FLASHTOOL <<< VVVIMP STEP
extract the file DooMLoRD_Easy-Rooting-Toolkit_v18_perf-event-exploit.zip to root directory on c:\
execute runme_ file corresponding to your OS on desktop PC, this will execute a SPECIAL version of my easy rooting toolkit <<< VVVIMP STEP
the above step is crucial! if you use any older version of the toolkit then IT WILL NOT WORK!
after rooting is over the device will restart
you can verify if device is rooted by checking for SuperSU app (it is the newest version)
once thats done now power down device and open FlashTool again
now flash :
XperiaZ_C660X_KernelOnly_10.3.1.A.2.67.ftf - 7.17 MB
OR
XperiaZ_C660X_KernelOnly_10.3.1.A.0.244_BE.ftf - 7.17 MB
file to get back to the true kernel for the firmware you were currently on
thats it after flashing is done just disconnect and power on device and enjoy rooted phone!

I see thanks, could you please update the First post in the DoomKernel topic so that people won't go complaining that the kernel doesn't work with the new fw.
The kernel worked fine v.09 with .244, but the only thing that didn't work (at first glance) was the wifi module

Works like a charm :good: (even in the version which wasn't released .236)

Is there a valid reason for the patch or is this what Sony considers to be supporting the development community?

consider this... we are using the exploit for rooting... some malicious people can mobile this exploit as an app which once installed will be able to gain complete control of your system, wipe data, read private files, etc..
now tell me if this is valid reason or not

[TOOL/LT15] [UPDATE 07/01/2013] Flashtool version 0.9.10.0 - Windows / Linux / Mac

Hello
Flashtool can be downloaded on the Flashtool Homepage (on Installation tab)
As Flashtool was originally developped for X10, you can find a lot of information on the Original X10 Flashtool thread
Major new feature : Fastboot toolbox for 2011 line devices.
Major update for 0.6.8.0 : Ability to now install CWM from Flashtool on locked bootloader.
Fastboot now works fine under linux
Please post fastboot issues here in this thread
If ever you want to setup an eclipse environment for Flashtool, you can check this thread
Flashtool does not recognize the decrypted FW.
I downloaded the decryptd FW for the Arc - extracted the files and copied it to the firmware folder of the flashtool (with Folder inside and without folder inside (.sin files directly to "firmware" folder)).
Started flashtool, pushed Flash, but no FW is available. Maybe I have to convert the .sin files in one .ftf file, but how?
Good initiative
Will follow this thread closely and hope for it being completely rooted before release

To create ftf file from your sin files, use the Advanced->Bundle creation wizard

Can you set the flashtool to debug mode ? (Help->Log Level->Debug) and try again, then send me the log file ?
I'm not an expert, but from that log it looks like it'll be a while before the new phones are rooted, looks like they can't be rooted in the same way as the previous SE Droids!

yes, i can. Log file in attachment.

Actually yes, the exploit does not work on Arc device :
20/059/2011 15:59:24 - DEBUG - stdout :Failed to set prot mask (Inappropriate ioctl for device)
I will follow superoneclick developpment (the exploit is extracted from this project)
To be continued ...
Thanks. I created the ftf file over the wizard and flahsed the FW on the Arc.
Works perfect.
Can also confirm, that rooting is not possible...

Good news about flashing
Succesfully flashed by Decrypted ROM (without root...)
Guys why don't you try something to root the ARC like the nexus s phone?
i think they are at the same ver2.3.2
Maybe it will help looking at nexus s dev forum?
i would like to root it as i just brought mine today.
its a generic ver. with no branding of telco.
Nexus S was not rooted. It was security unlocked. Same will be done with XPERIA Arc.

But that doesn't mean it that it will take eternities, or will it? I think about getting the Arc and rooting is not a must, but would be really nice to have for such things as SetCPU...
How much has to be done to enable rooting for it, or will it all be solved by unlocking the bootloader?
i think since the bootloader is now unlockable (& mine is already unlocked ) it would be much appreciated to have recovery compiled for our handsets..
has any1 a clue how to do so?
Question for people that that have created a FTF file.
What loader did you use? If you select the arc, I notice it just hangs. However, if you use the X10 loader it completely very quickly.
Thanks
do we need to unlock the bootloader if we flash the SE rom?
we unlock the bootloader doesn't want the se rom.
Has anyone here decrypted ROM from their phone. I did the SEUS update and placed two files into a folder and decrypted them with FlashTool then when it tried to package it up it get stuck here
"Adding loader.sin to the bundle" and this happens when I select the ARC option but if I do the X10 it goes through.
Any hints?
EDIT:
Attached is the LT15 missing from Loaders folder in Flash Tool for make Bundling available for arc decrypted file.

The Kaspersky installed on my system won't even let me download, much less use Flashtool. Highly irritating since it is a known non-malware program. I've just created exceptions to bypass the antivirus altogether

I Think Flashtool Was, Much Better.
Does the bootloader unlock function also work for ArcS?
I'm surprised because there is no free method to do it...
(I know, I could try it by my self but I don't have windows computer within easy reach)
Do you need any firmwares or do you have it covered?
Does bootloader unlocking work for the Xperia Play?

I did. Now I'm rooted and on 4.2.2. Follow the instructions on the thread. It works very well.
hmm after receiving my device the first thing I did was to update it to 4.2.2 (fw 2.67). Unfortunately I had to downgrade to .310 for being able to gain root with doomlord's toolkit. VRoot doesn't work for me as for an unknown reason it keeps loading like it doesn't detect the device. However unlockroot detects it, but can't get shell root.
Another strange thing is that flashtool always returns that USB debug is OFF although it's ON and well set (connectivity etc..), but I'm still able to flash despite that.
Now the question is, will the root survive to an update...

I rooted my .67 firmware using Vroot and worked perfectly.
This is how i connected my device:
1. USB Debugging on
2. Connection mode (MSC) (from settings->xperia->usb connectivity)
3. Also exit Sony PC Companion before rooting.
Look here for image instructions:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2434453
BTW you have to manually install BusyBox after rooting w/ Vroot.

Thanks for the reply, know that I'm not a lambda user In fact, it detects the device but keeps loading like the process was stuck at a particular step. For finally giving me the error 1001. I can't figure out what it means since it's in chinese, and there is no window task like cmd prompt too...

I noticed that you are using Vroot 1.6. A user on another thread for ZR reported that the phone is not detected in the Vroot 1.6.
You should try the new v1.7. And I did it on Win 8.
I was just trying to be as informative and through as I can.

when is the kernel being flashed?
It's not in your updated zip and you're not flashing it by flashtool?

[JB][4.3][9.2.A.0.295]SXTX CWM+Root+Deodex

Nice day for all!
Attention!
I have Unlocked Bootloader, so i dont know what happen on Locked Bootloaders!!!
This "Method" i have tested on my SXTX, please dont try it on SXTX LB or on Sony Xperia T.
I'm not responsible of sploit devices etc. Everything what you do, you doing only on your own risk!!!
Follow the instruction carefully and everything gonna be allright
I changed the kernel flashing process from QuickIMG to Flashtool (Big thanks to ihasacat for testing)​
Some photos:

"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Requirements:
Unlocked Bootloader
Installed Flashtool
Installed QuickIMG (it can work using cmd (comand prompt))
Installed fastboot drivers
Installation process (UB):
- download the .ftf firmware and put it into the Flashtool/firmware folder
- download the kernel, extract the .elf file and put it into the Flashtool/firmwares
1. Copy into the device sdcard UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.93.zip and Deodex_for_SXTX_JB4.3_official.zip.
2. Start Flastool on your PC, flash device-> flashmode, select the SXTX USA Official JB4.3 firmware and press Flash.
3. Wait until its done and settle up your phone.
4. Turn off the phone, then connect the phone to PC while holding volume UP. Flashtool should show your SXTX is connected via Fastboot
5. On Flashtool, click Flash -> Flash using Fastboot, then on the window that pops up, click "select kernel to flash" (by DooMLoRD), then look for the kernel.elf you extracted earlier to Flashtool/firmwares folder
6. Reconect your SXTX and turn on, when you will see violet (rose) notification light, immediatley press Volume Up + button.
7. In recovery flash the UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.93.zip (i dont did any wipes)
8. Reboot and settle up your phone.
9. Reboot and enter to recovery, wipe dalvik cache then flash Deodex_for_SXTX_JB4.3_official.zip (Big thanks to sera18) original thread
Also:
Step 4-5 with using QuickIMG
- download the kernel, extract the .elf file and put it into the QuickIMG/images folder
- Power of your phone, start QuickIMG.exe, select the LT29i_4.3_kernel_CWM kernel, connect your SXTX to PC with holding Volume Up + button (blue notification light on the device) (you will see "conected" in QuickIMG) and press Flash button in QuickIMG, then wait!!! (for me it was long a bit to see "done")

From what I understand, even though rooting in itself takes advantage of exploits in Android, I don't see why Google would mark it as a virus; downloading the files individually seems to work and don't get flagged as a virus.
On the other hand, don't see why the OP doesn't link to Chainfire's original hosted file here, or even attach the file directly here in the forum, instead of linking it to a Google Drive account.
I can assure you that the one I've just posted works.
