So are you now using this rooted 4.2.2? No more bootloop?
I haven't tried it yet as I'm out right now. But people at the other forum say that it's working and they have root access.

6. when you wrote "search for the previously downloaded file", do you mean I should install the .zip file from SD card?
9. How can you flash the recovery if you will not have root access? Or recovery can still be installed with out root?

for number 6, he means to flash the file you have downloaded on step 4. for number 9, you already have root access on that point given that you have followed all preceding instructions. The file you flashed on step 6 is the pre-rooted system partition of the 244 firmware, that is why on step 8 he indicated that you should not include flashing of the system part.
offtopic: now that there is a root method for xperia ZR, I will be buying it in the coming weeks. =))
Now it all seems to work fine so far. But what still hold me back is the pre-rooted zip file with the system partition from an unknown source. I always run custom ROM on my Android phones but usually they're from the developer directly. Flashing zip files downloaded from these Russian websites seem a bit risky. Anyone knows more about the source of it?

I also don't get the reboots I had on the .310 rom with SuperSU while deleting System apps using Titanium Backup.
request :/
can you guys make a flashable rooted zip of the 4.2.2 firmware please? i was deleting some bloatware and looks like i did something wrong and got a bootloop for some reason. Now i had to wipe data and everything, even the internal storage was formatted when wiping data!!! Reinstall the firmware and lost root, so ill have to do it all over again for the love of god, please!:crying:

The file zr244-system-supersu.zip is already a flashable zip of system partition with busybox, su and Superuser.apk. So you might find your missing files there or flash it for the whole system partition.

Thanks for the edit! You saved me some time.
Are you by any chance planning any ROM development for the ZR?
Just followed the instructions and upgraded to 4.2.2 with root. Data is preserved and so far everything seems fine. Finally see lockscreen widgets again!
is anyone able to get into recovery? pressing up or down during the green light doesnt do anything. the only way i can access recovery is to reflash it every time.
Can I root z1 on kitkat??anyone can help me?
Yes,
First, ask QUESTIONS in the Question and answer section.
Now, read the several guides in the general and/or development section on how to root.
In brief
Either, unlock your bootloader and flash an insecure kernel
or
flash stock 4.2, root, install recovery and flash a prerooted 4.4 rom.
Alll instructions are in their relevant threads so I will not reproduce them here.
Eigth time and counting I have written this today
Anyone can explain why there is not an straight forward method to root Z1 directly on kitKat and we need to downgrade to do it ?

Best way to do is it to downgrade to 534 using flashtool, grab the FTF file needed from the mega collection thread.
Use vroot to root the device, install a custom recovery, flash the rom that you want to install (Monx, ihacker, romaur) then don't reboot, but re-enter flashmode and flash everything (without wipe) from an FTF of the same base, do not flash TA and System.
Reboot and youre done.
I wrote a more in depth tutorial which can be found in this thread, second post.

No that's not the best way
1) Vroot sends your IMEI number to china for no known reason. They have been asked to change this but gave no response to XDA about it.
2) The point of downgrading to a .534 FTF is that you can install recovery without rooting first. So install dualrecovery, then flash SuperSU.zip from chainfire, then flash a 4.4 rom of your choice.

It's real easy to relock the bootloader using Flashtool, so don't sweat unlocking it to root.

But how do you backup your TA that way.
You need to root first then backup TA. Relocking with flashtool does not restore your TA.
Once you have your backup then that is always possible, but not for a first time root.

I didn't know you could do it that way, the way that i've mentioned is what was written on all the tutorials that i've seen so i'm literally going from what other people have said, including monx.
The IMEI thing is a bit creepy but I wasn't aware of that either.
another one bricked...sigh how to fix?
Hey all,
Successfully unlocked my c9603 with latest kitkat and installed cwm 6 with these instructions
How to Install CWM 6 Recovery on Xperia Z1:
Download Doomlord’s Advanced Stock Kernel with CWM Recovery
Copy the downloaded.zip file to your phone’s sd card.
Extract the downloaded .zip folder on your PC, you will get a Boot.img file.
Place the extracted Boot.img file in the Minimal ADB & Fastboot folder that you created using our ADB & Fastboot Quick Setup Guide.
If you are using Android ADB & Fastboot full package, you can place the downloaded Recovery.img file in the Fastboot folder or in the Platform-tools folder.
Open the folder where you placed the Boot.img file. E.g Minimal ADB & Fastbootor Fastboot or Platform Tools.
Press and hold the shift key and right click on an empty area within the folder, and click on “Open Command Window Here”.
Turn off your Xperia Z1 completely.
Now press the Volume Up Key and while keeping it pressed plug in the USB cable.
You should see a blue light in the notification light of your phone, that means your device is now connected in Fastboot mode.
Now type the following command: Fastboot Flash boot Boot.img
Hit Enter and it will quickly flash CWM 6.0.4.6 recovery in your Xperia Z1
Once recovery is flashed, now issue this command “Fastboot Reboot”
Your device will reboot now, as soon as you see the Sony logo, and the pink LED, press Volume Up key to enter recovery.
Congrats! You should now see the custom recovery.
Once in CWM recovery, flash the zip file you copied to your phone in step 2. To do so, select “install zip > choose zip from sd card > doomlord advanced stock kernel.zip > yes” and flash it.
Once flashed the zip file, reboot your device.
That’s all.
ok so I did all of the with success now when I turn my phone on I get what I think is a bootloop mode...it gives me the sony logo and the pink led to boot in cwm then re loops over and over.
I can get into cwm but thats it.
So how do I go about fixing my bricked phone now? Kinda need it lol
appreciated guys
WOW, I misread that...
If you flash doomkernel you already have recovery.
Please link to where you found those instructions, they seem way out of date.
and have you unlocked your bootloader?

If you have unlocked your bootloader (Did you make a TA backup first?) then just flash doomkernel
Doomkernel has recovery in it.

---------- Post added at 06:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:39 PM ----------
i just tried all of this from xda university, still no luck at all, still boot looping
If you flash a new (base)rom on your device it may not automatically wipe your dalvik-cache, This means your old dalvik-cache will be used for the new system files which would result in a bootloop, to fix this problem:
1. Start your phone in CWM Recovery
2. Go to Advanced
3. Choose “Wipe dalvik-cache”
4. Now go to “Mounts & Storage”
5. Choose “Wipe /cache”
6. Reboot your phone
Note: by wiping “/cache” and “dalvik-cache” you make sure it’s completely deleted, some roms use /data and some use /cache for the dalvik-cache
If the problems still exists after doing that, you could try to wipe your /data partition. before you do that first make a backup of your phone (in it’s current bootlooping state)
1. Start your phone in CWM Recovery
2. Now go to “Backup & Restore”
3. Choose “backup” (it may also be called “backup to internal/external sdcard)
When that’s done you are free to wipe /data, you can achieve this by doing:
1. Now go to “Mounts & Storage”
2. Choose “Wipe /data”
3. Choose “Wipe /cache”
4. Reboot your phone
If the rom still doesn’t boot correctly it’s probably the rom which isn’t working, contact the rom creator then and try an other rom for the meanwhile.

sorry I wasnt saying do i need root for this? i know i currently dont have root and can flash ftf anyway.

so if I am correct flash the phone with supersu from sdcard via cwm6 then flash

which I am downloading from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2687275
My phone should boot up now with root access, but I am only trying to fix it currently.
Cant see why I wouldnt have a working phone with root following these steps?
thanks , ill keep posting updates, might even help someone else in the process
But why are you insistent on backing up a system that is in bootloop? Why would you ever want to restore a bootlooping system?
I would just do a fresh system install and forget about backing up a non working system
Just flash the FTF of your choice, then the appropriate DooMKerneL version.
Then you are rooted and have CMW installed. 2 easy steps, I really don't understand your need to backup first, especially when your phone is bootlooping.

no unless you select option 3 factory reset - option 1 only wipes cache but NOT userdata

So, how the procedure went? I have the same situation as you described (Stagefright available and my phone is rooted and running TWRP) and I'm just wondering if you faced any other trouble following the steps.
Thanks

no as its recovery for xt1064 - if you replace the recovery with a xt1063 that would work
Would I lose my data stored in the internal memory if I unroot my moto g 2014?
BTW: I am rooted using the the stock firmware.
EDIT: Do I have to re-lock the boot-loader in other to successfully install last update?
Thanks man!

I followed your instructions but update fails. It was rooted and with TWRP.
Will flash CyanogenMod soon so I don't care.

See my signature (blue) and posts #1 to #4 for xt106x versions
Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but anyway, to the point. I rooted a Xperia SP with towelroot, checked with rootchecker and it was okay, after that I installed CWM and then flashed a ROM and probably CWM changed to TWRP with the ROM. Then I ran some debloater script the ROM maker had done and forgot to flash gapps (lol), or more like debloater script made the phone to reboot, so I let my phone to reboot and try to go back to TWRP and it just doesn't work... Touches won't get recognized. Also I just noticed that the root is gone. Looking for some help here now. Not so used to this stuff.
Things I've tried:
root again with towelroot, didn't work
flash gapps, didn't work
try to install recovery.img again with adb, didn't work(I just may aswell not know how to use adb anyway)
Ask if more information is needed. Thanks! Hope someone could help me.

1.You should have posted this in Q&A section
2.Never use towel root on lollipop because all ROMs are rooted by default.
To enable root Settings->Developer options->Root access->Apps and ADB
3.Dont try debloater script just yet. Use it when you are settled with ROM working.
4.Now what you need to do is
a.Boot into recovery and flash the latest TWRP zip.
b.Reboot into TWRP and wipe everything(data,cache,system but not external)
c.Flash ROM zip and gapps.
Hope this works:good:

I can boot into recovery but it won't recognize touches so I cannot navigate to anywhere in TWRP. Also where to find latest TWRP zip for Xperia SP, since I am looking at TWRP homepage and there is no 2.8.7.0 for Xperia SP. Otherwise it sounds like I learned something new

Here, use this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...-twrp-f2fs-support-xperia-sp-huashan-t3150230
Please remove the previous TWRP beforehand. If you are not sure on how to do so, can you attach me a link of where you followed the methods?

Since you said TWRP does not recognize touches. Here I present you 2 solutions:
1.Flash stock ftf and start over.
2.Flash FOTA and then flash tangerine kernel with TWRP recovery support via fastboot (v6.3 because newer versions cant be flashed using Fastboot)

Hey guys, here are the modified rootable kernels for the Xperia XZ [F8331 & F8332] 7.1.1 fw
Kernel F8332
Kernel F8331
Thanks to tobias.waldvogel for his awesome resources.
Don't forget to flash the recovery. Here's the link
Recovery
Also, recovery can be accessed only through the official way i.e.
Power off >> Press the power key and the volume down key simultaneously >> As soon as the SONY logo appears, release ONLY the power key, don't release the volume down key >> After 20-30 seconds the device will enter recovery mode.

I'm not quite sure of that buddy.. Has someone tested it on the single sim version..
Extract and share the kernel.sin from the ftf file.. I'll modify it..

No different between F8332 and F8331 kernel or fota-kernel (recovery)... Only difference are system.*.sin cach.*.sin userspace.*.sin oem.*.sin
please give me some detail instruction to install it!
my Knowledge: backup TA -> unlock bootloader -> flash this kernel -> flash recover -> flash SuperSU -> done??
after that, if i want to roll back to stock, i must do that: push TA back to phone by recovery -> reflash stock rom by flashtool.??
is this right?
and one more question : is this kernel use for stock rom and all thing will work fine??

Are you on FW41 (android 7.1.1)?
If "YES" you must downgrade to MM rom and not patched "dirty-cow" vulnerable for backup TA partition (if you don't backed up later. If you have ta backup skip this step)
Then update to N 7.1.1
After update to 7.1.1:
1- unlock bootloader (backup data and internal sd, device wiped all data!)
2- go to "fastboot mode" (power off phone, when hold volume up plug your phone to pc, blue light led must be on)
3- flash that image for drm-fix and disable dm-verify with this code
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
4- reboot phone complete
Code:
fastboot reboot
5- again power off and go to fastboot mode. And flash recovery now:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-***-kagura.img
fastboot reboot
6- now go to recovery and install supersu zip package.
If you want go to complete stock you need TA.img (save that several place in your PC and better save on cloud storage like google drive)
If you need, flash TA.img and flash FTF stock rom and phone back to theirs factory state.
** and for knowledge: this is not custom kernel!!!
This is custom boot.img. The kernel inside that file is completely stock. Only "ramdisk" patched for allow you to root your device and fix drm.
completery understand
