Can i flash zip or ftf via adb? i'm using cm12 rom.
hi guys,
I bought a Z3C and I just checked the bootloader is not locked .
pen the dialler and enter #*#7378423#*# to access the service menu.
Tap Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes
I wanted to know if I could flash via Flashtool software directly ?
OK, so I've used the method described in the thread, flashed firmware.zip from recovery on rooted 4.4.4. (.77), after flashing I wiped cache and dalvik, rebooted, android was upgraded, system booted, and all of my apps and settings remained intacted. Is this normal? I expected clean start. I used D5803_23.1.A.0.690_Generic_NCB-Root-XZDR2.8.3-SuperSU.

If you didn´t wipe data in recovery, then no data should be wiped. That´s normal.
Yes, that's it. But, did I had to wipe data? I've read that clean install is recommended. I've noticed no problems in the last couple of hours of usage.
Dirty Flash from 23.0.1.A.5.77
I dirty flashed 23.1.A.0.690 from Greatslon MIUI v5 23.0.1.A.5.77 and still have root.
The phone froze and bootlooped a couple of times when i installed and restarted it, but patience was rewarded, as it finally booted.
I can still mount /system as rw both via adb shell, "onboard" terminal and through Root Browser.
Can i be of some help with a logcat, and in case how?
I am a software developer myself, but in a different branch than android. I just can't see through how i should get started with android development.
Great work guys
I guess i should add, that i still have my bootloader locked.
So to summarize:
>Bootloader locked (never unlocked)
>Firmware 23.1.A.0.690 from this thread
>Full root
>System R/W
Hey,
is there a chance to change the carrier name on the lockscreen? In the upper left corner it says "no service" but my carrier is already set up successfully.
Maybe its just because im from germany and its a generic rom or something. so is there a option to set up manually?
greets
Interesting, I did exactly the same but only have partial root, meaning that my system indicates root but I don't have writing permissions. Tried the ADB fix but did not work. Any other suggestions for getting full root again?
FYI: Nut has mentioned that he fixed recovery in his main development thread and will be working on releasing it to everyone soon.
Tnx for ur great work... but i have problem to download from mega site.. and specialy from the folder...
can anyone give me the direct link of [5.0.2] Firmware 23.1.A.0.690 Generic and A.5.77... not the folder link...
and can anyone tell me where exactly save the file we download from mega site ?
i cant find it anywhere...
Tnx alot.. :xX

You would only need to restore the TA backup if you've unlocked your bootloader in the past.
I'm locked now, but it seem that I have to be unlocked to manage in upgrading to LP and keep the R/W is that right?

No, system rw is working atm with the newest(2.8.3) release from nut with locked bl. At least for Z3C . the system rw not working refers to other devices.
So when he manages to get the new recovery working you should just be able to install it. That is my hope at least. Anyway in case it doesnt you can backup with titanium backup and after flashing everything again just restore.

oh!
Really thanks for the answers, but I'm not sure to have understand (first sony for me).
I have kk, rooted and with locked bootloader. I have no recovery (I can't manage in flashing that without unlock), so how can I flash the preeroted LP?
I understand that if I backup TA, unlock BL, flash a recovery, flash a pre-rooted LP (after a full wipe), flash the last NUT recovery and then relock the BL restoring TA, I should finally have LP with root, R/W, and drm feature right? Am I missing something? Sorry for the High Noob Lvl xD

Go to the thread of NUT dual recovery and (assuming your on a windows pc) download the installer for nut dual recovery. it will let you install the recovery on locked bootloader by running the install.bat file. with this recovery you can then flash a prerooted lollipop zip (you can do it yourself with prf creator, include the newest SuperSU zip and the newest dual recovery zip together with stock lollipop rom) after wiping your phone. people also just flashed over KK but i prefer to do it clean and set up my phone newly again. you will then end up with a phone which has system rw and root on lollipop but the recovery will be gone until NUT fixes it. That is what everybody is waiting for.
So unlocking BL wont really gain you anything except sonys DRM keys not working. it will just introduce an additional step to relock them.
Here is the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261606
to get into recovery just spam the volume up button(or down since it has two recoveries ) when your phone boots and lights up the led.

Xperia Tablet Z 4.4.4 KitKat Rom - Pre-rooted - Includes Recovery
For SGP311 and SGP312 - Wiping is optional
** DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT A DEVELOPER. I DO THIS AS A HOBBY AND SHARE MY FINDINGS IN CASE SOMEONE ELSE FINDS THEM USEFUL. **
** THIS WORKED ON MY DEVICE BUT IT MAY NOT WORK ON YOURS. APPLY AT YOUR OWN RISK **
Requirements:
Flashtool 0.9.15.0 or higher
Rooted SGP31X (on any other previous Android version) with custom recovery (i.e. XZDualRecovery) installed.
Previous firmwares up to 4.4.2 can be rooted with towelroot.
If your current Rom doesn't have recovery, follow step 10 of this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53063218&postcount=14 with tablet in USB debugging mode (step 4 of the same post).
This works on locked or unlocked bootloaders and any customization.
This ROM is pre-rooted and comes with recovery. Other than that it is identical to stock rom.
Download links:
SGP311 US_CA_PR https://mega.co.nz/#F!dhMBkRpC!qAsRR7WXJlKwsUwBuv1vig
SGP311 EU1 https://mega.co.nz/#F!p4FzQaqQ!o88OJPX4SyAYOUM3PMb5_A
SGP312 US_CA_PR https://mega.co.nz/#F!El8QnQxC!BlkadNT5FWGF3dLfCbD4mA
Use the link that matches your tablet model. You only need the zip and ftf files. The txt file is just the checksum if you want to verify that your download is error-free.
Instructions:
0- Backup before you start messing with your tablet!
1- Put system.flashable.zip in /sdcard of your tablet.
2- Keep SGP31X_10.5.1.A.0.283_VMo US_CA_PR_NoSystem.ftf on your PC.
3- Disconnect any USB cable that may be attached to your tablet.
4- Reboot to recovery. Preferably to TWRP, but you can make CWM work too.
5- Do not wipe anything.
6- Once in recovery, flash system.flashable.zip.
7- It is important to TURN OFF the tablet after this step.
8- Find and use the Power Off option in the recovery and turn your tablet off. In CWM based PhilZ Touch it is under "Power Options" -> "Power Off". In TWRP it is under "Reboot" -> "Power Off". If you see your tablet rebooting, force it to turn off by pushing the power and volume up keys simultaneously (or however else you can!)
9- Open Flashtool 0.9.15.0 (or higher) and click on the flash icon. Choose flash mode.
10- Navigate to where you have saved SGP31X_10.5.1.A.0.283_VMo US_CA_PR_NoSystem.ftf
11- If you do not want your any of your current data to be wiped uncheck all the items under the "wipe" section. My recommendation however is to wipe.
12- Now flash this ftf with your tablet in flash mode. To put your tablet in flash mode, hold the volume down button when it is off and connect with the USB cable to the PC.
13- Reboot. You are now on rooted 4.4.4.
Credits:
I only put the files together. All the credit should go to XDA's [NUT] and DooMLoRD and many others...

Flashed and works good on SGP312
Thanks!
It worked perfect !
Thank you very much !
I wasn't going to update to 4.4.4 until you offered this solution. Swapping kernels,etc., re-rooting, reinstalling recovery was just more work than it was worth and had the potential to brick the device. Your approach is brilliant! Thank you very much.
However, I am not able to boot into recovery.
Thank you very much for the easy-to-follow instructions.
It worked perfectly on my SGP312. Fully rooted 4.4.4 Kitkat.

I wouldn't be able to compare it to Omni as I haven't used it. Actually, I havent used any AOSP 4.4.4 version. But I can say that 4.4.4 stock so far it has worked pretty well.
There's no lag anymore in the options menu.
Battery seems to last as much as it did on 4.4.2, but I'll update this info after some more testing.
Stock launcher feels smoother, although I use Nova Launcher Prime.
I haven't noticed any bugs for now. Perhaps the only thing is a quite short, recurrent distortion in the sound when playing music, but I had that issue in 4.4.2 as well. Haven't found any info on that.
I'll try to report more as I continue using it.

yep! it's possble with BackupTA.
I'm surprised to hear there is occasional static sound with a stock ROM from Sony. Can you pleas elaborate as to the problem?
Also, if I follow this tutorial will it automatically relock my boot loader? I'd prefer to keep an unlocked boot loader until I have had opportunity to test drive.
I'm very pleased with my Omnirom ATM. Am curious to try though.

Not completely related to the OP, but this is the first time I've upgraded a device that I had encrypted. Following all the steps, my device is now stuck in a bootloop. TWRP is unable to mount the encrypted partition w/ the passphrase I had set.
Anyone else experience this, or better yet have experience with this in general?

I got my stock 4.4.4 rooted, but unfortunately not with this ROM. Below are my thoughts on what the problem may be.
system.flashable.zip only includes TWRP 2.6.*, which apparently has issues mounting encrypted partitions. These issues are solved in TWRP 2.7; can the OP update system.flashable.zip to include 2.7?
For those who still want to use this ROM, after flashing system.flashable.zip, I'd immediately install dual recovery before rebooting. I've not tested it myself but it's my theory for what will work.

I know these are novice questions but please bear with me as I just want to understand the process.
I have the Z3C rooted on 5.77 with SuperSU, Xposed and various modules installed plus other ‘normal’ apps.
1. So if I do as in the OP I will have a ‘stock’ Z3C without the apps listed in the OP, meaning I have to install Xposed, modules and all my ‘normal’ apps afterwards? (don’t mind this, just want to be clear)
2. Is SuperSU ok?
3. Can I sync a backup from Sony Companion to get all my personal stuff back?
4. A.If I want to get one of the deleted apps back I just install it from e.g. GooglePlay? or
B. Using RootExplorer can I just delete the App's apk & odex files with same result as flashing?
5. Main reason for wanting to try/use this is I would like to use the Xperia™ Xposed module, so once above is completed I can d/l Xperia™ Xposed , activate it and I’m good to go?
Again, thanks for bearing with me and any advice appreciated.
I softbricked my D5833, what went wrong?
Requirements:
- Z3 Compact (any) or even Z3 (to be confirmed)
- Running rooted 23.0.1.A.5.77 firmware
- Recovery
- System partition mountable as r/w
Install:
1. Enter recovery and backup your current rom (good practice)
2. Download flashable zip
3. Enter recovery and flash it

Hi there. I had a well running rooted 23.0.1.A.5.77 firmware. After flashing the "[23.0.1.A.5.77] Debloated, Deodexed, Zipaligned, Rooted, Super User Mode" my phone wouldn't boot any more. It got stuck on the Sony logo.
I cant understand why. Is it because I have a D5833? Or might it be because after wiping the cache and the Dalvik cache I also ran "Prepare for flashing a new image" (I can't remember the exact phrase right now)
Please tell me what you think went wrong.

Never mind.
Thanks for this, @serajr. I just had a quick question regarding recovery. I have rooted my device with this guide (all steps completed); when I boot into TWRP and flash this .zip, how do I maintain the Dual Recovery installed in the root guide?
Apologies, I've found that recovery is still maintained on the device after using the .zip but NDRUtils is uninstalled which is easily downloadable again.

Keep cool wiping everything AFTER flashing this thread zip file, it will just do changes into folders below:
/system/app (here including latest Superuser.apk)
/system/priv-app
/system/framework
Root binary (/system/xbin/su) and recovery files won't be touched!

Thanks for the prompt response! So, as far as I've understood, despite NDRUtils being uninstalled after flashing, recovery is still maintained and I just need to redownload NDRUtils if I need it via the Play Store.
I just had two quick follow up questions if you have the time to answer them?
1. If I want to go back to complete stock i.e. out-of-the-box functionality with all the bloat reinstalled, recovery deleted, etc., am I right in saying all I need to do is re-flash a stock firmware from this thread with Flashtool?
2. Can I delete your flashable .zip file and the SonyRICDefeat .zip file from /sdcard0 after flashing them in recovery?Hopefully these are simple questions. Thanks!

1. Yes, you are! By fully flashing ftf file you will be on raw stock fw again!!
2. Yep, you can delete both!
First time at debloating and deleted the apks at /system/etc/customization/applications/. before first uninstalling.
Could some kind soul post the list or instruct how i can work out the list from the zip? tried exploring the system.ext4 file but that didnt help as i thought it would.
Thanks for the debloat.
Serajr, can you release next version of your modification as a fully fledged ROM, please? It would be way easier to use.
I've just bought my Xperia and i'm a bit confused. With my old Samsung Galaxy everything was easy as a dream:
- flash popular ROM
- update it via OTA for years
With Xperia everything is much more complicated. (2 bootloaders, DRM keys, flash counters, etc.)
Sometimes I think that i'm too old for this but I can't imagine to use Android phone without root, xposed framework, firewall, navbar customization...
Regards.
Newb here, so I can't find my zip file when searching for zip with CWM. I did put it on SDcard and it's mounted, heck I put it in all kinds of folders for a look, but CWM is not recognizing it.
What is the system/method you guys have flashed this rom?
What have I missed? What have I not done? Is there another method?
Thanks.
Edit:
got it, thanks
I am hopefully not the only one with this problem on this deodexed rom but I have the problem to not be able to change the lockscreen wallpaper. It only shows the wallpaper of the homescreen at my lockscreen.
Is anyone else experiencing same issue or has a solution for me?
Maybe only a missing systemapp....

Kernel Problem
The debloated ROM works fine.
Problem: If I flash a Kernel (of course with unlocked Bootloader ) for instance AndroPlus or XZDR Kernel with your ROM - -> Bootloop.
With original/generic .77 firmware - -> no Bootloop
Do I make a mistake?

Go to original thread and take it under "KitKat version (23.0.1.A.5.77)"
Why deodex? Deodexing impairs performance and gains nothing but the ability to mess with system apk more easily.
Worked perfectly for me.
Got Xposed with GravityBox and more all up and running. No bootloops after multiple reboots as well.
I, too, am in doubt which is the correct/easiest approach for upgrading to Lp 5.0.2 from KK .77 LB.
It appears we can piece together a working solution for a Lp with R/W, Recovery & Xposed Framework:
R/W: e.g. use the one from Meetdaleet, which we apparently can 'dirty' flash directly from .77 to 5.0.2
RECOVERY: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261606&page=384 -Read post 3837 & jump to 3876 where *NUT* says it will be implemented in DualRecovery
Xposed Framework: see *Serajr*'s post 177
As *NUT* is planning on releasing DualRecovery 2.84 next week I think I'll wait and in the meantime hoping Xposed Framework will be updated also.

Can I flash it with other recovery than TWRP :/. Maybe it sounds weird but I don't bealive TWRP and prefer CWM
PS. I have 4.4.2 hope it don't brick my phone :X
Question. I already have 5.0.2. Can I just flash the recovery and flash SuperSU to get root access? If yes, where can I find the recovery?
What if i install this in a 6902?
Will this wipe my other files?
Does this wipe other files on my phone or does it just install like a normal update?
Can someone upload Z1-lockeddualrecovery2.8.9-RELEASE.installer here, please?

Based on my understanding, I just need to flash with pre-root.zip and NUTs Z1-lockeddualrecovery2.8.10-RELEASE.installer.zip. and only need to clear cache before and after install. (As in clear it from recover mode?) Update super su from playstore after install.
Then the phone consider as rooted?
I read through the whole thread and hope someone can clarify the step for me. Thank you.

I had this problem on KitKat, I let my phone plugged in while I restarted my PC and it went away.

Something you might want to look into is if you have some sort of Android Emulator on your PC (such as BlueStacks). If so, just terminate the process in the Task Manager and it should work.
I did a full wipe (data, system, cache, dalvik, etc), install the ROM, but not the recovery (i forgot), now I have a bootloop and does not like leaving, someone help me please?
having problems with this rom .... everything is working fine but i have random reboots...maybe 2 times daily...
anyone else have the same issue?
Hi there,
I think we should make a simple thread to sum up everything we know about root, since the main talking thread is long, here are the main informations:
Xperia Z5:
- No locked bootloader root yet
- AndroPlusKernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z5/development/kernel-andropluskernel-v1-t3246100
- TWRP here http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z5/development/twrp-2-8-7-0-z5-rootable-kernel-t3240032
- CWM booting but not usable: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z5/development/recovery-clockworkmod-recovery-sony-t3249782
- Unlocked BL dirty rooting available and working as intended: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z5/development/dirty-root-solution-unlocked-bl-t3233274
- Dumped original firmware: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z5/general/ftf-files-sony-xperia-z5z5-dual-t3214397
- Xposed works but you need to let it bootloop a few times
Xperia Z5 Compact:
- No locked bootloader root yet
- Zombie Kernel testing release here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/z5-compact/orig-development/kernel-zombie-t3224735
- Unlock bootloader root available (http://forum.xda-developers.com/z5-compact/development/dirty-root-solution-unlocked-bl-t3230524)
- Prerooted firmware available for unlocked BL: http://forum.xda-developers.com/z5-...-rooted-32-0-5-32-firmware-one-click-t3231520
- Xposed doesn't work with prerooted firmware
Currently we need to:
- Compile Zombie Kernel for Z5
- Improve TWRP support
- Create prerooted-firmware
- Most obviously and most hardly, find exploit for Locked BL root
Ok I'm not an Xperia pro, just got my first one few days ago, but still a android and linux geek, so if there is mistakes in my post, or update I haven't seen, notify me

Updated
Test kernel for Z5:
https://mega.nz/#!15oSGLiA!N-lOlfn8RS9_gN_GcVJrFzXg21nzL1xDdt1xKujl9is
This is stock Z5 kernel modified to disable Sony RIC, dm verity, etc.
It should work together with the Z5C rooting solution:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/z5-compact/development/dirty-root-solution-unlocked-bl-t3230524
Please report back.

Huge thanks, But I can't get it working...
I open BL, I fastboot flashed the kernel, then I fastboot booted on the recovery (Which doesn't show a black screen as expected but a real non-fully-working twrp for me) and I tried to install Supersu but I write an error then...
EDIT: Kinda glitchy to do, but works.
If anyone has Xposed working, please make a tutorial
Okay so this is my first Xperia device and my second android device (used to have a Nexus 5 so rooting was simple). Can anyone ELI5 the root situation?
I understand that the TA partition contains DRM keys to make X-Reality etc work and that unlocking the bootloader will wipe this TA partition and the features will stop working. My main confusion comes from - if other lollipop devices have rooting methods for locked bootloaders, why don't these methods work on the Z5? Sorry if this is extremely obvious and I'm an idiot.
Most android devices have either already unlocked BL or you have to. For example, Nexus 5 needed to unlock the BL, as well as the OnePlus One, but those devices don't contain DRM so you don't loose anything when unlocking

Worked in second attempt. First time reboot into recovery. New fastboot boot booted into black screen.
In following sequence it was necessary to add destination file name,
D:\DOWNLOADS\Sony\Xperia\Z5\Fastboot>adb push SuperSU-v2.51.zip /data/media/0/
failed to copy 'SuperSU-v2.51.zip' to '/data/media/0/': Is a directory

I did not had to :/
You guys work fast!
Unsure whether to root myself yet,
Kind of wouldn't mind being able to connect a ps3 pad instead of
Ps4 using the sixaxis app
I'm still confused here. I don't see clear instructions for root process, probably because this is my first Xperia device. Neither do I know if using this modded stock kernel and doing this adb thing few posts back will break the DRM thingy and camera features or not.

There is nothing clear enough for beginner yet. Sooner or later there will be a TWRP fully working and it will be easy.
Try the dirty method, but don't do things that you are not sure that will work. Ask us if needed
I don't want to lose features because of unlocked bootloader. I guess I'm going to survive without root til there's TWRP and pretty much flash n go root
You will maybe never be able to root without loosing feature. Xperia devices work like this for ages..
The only way you could would be that we find a flaw in Android, which could either arrive soon, or never...

Ages means..? I know that the Z1 is not so fresh anymore but we were able to root 4.2/4.4.4/5.1 without losing anything with locked BL. (I know nothing except following tutorials)
Sent from my E6653
Yes because there were security holes in android. For now we havent found anything yet in this version

I did boot into TWRP (it was like tablet mode) mounted all partitions to be sure, flashed SuperSU from external sd. It is working. Thank you all

Google "Verified Boot Android" .. there is almost 100% probability that locked bootloader root will never be achieved, because of this security feature. Verified Boot was introduced in KitKat, but almost nobody used it in so strict mode implementation... Until now, no single firmware using Verified Boot was ever rooted without either custom kernel (must unlock bootloader) or leaked engineering bootloader (try ask Sony engineers for it).
Hello out there I looked for a thread on this subject and I didn't see one so I apologize to the mods if this has been covered.. Anyways today I received a notification for a System update on my Turbo. I haven't tried to install it yet. Right now my bootloader is unlocked via the Sunshine apk I have TWRP installled as my custom recovery and I have root. Basically I'm running stock but rooted. What is the upgrade procedure. I'm pretty sure the update will fail with twrp installed. Is there a set procedure everyone is using... Thanks in advance

Backup apps via titanium backup, and save off the phone. Backup all personal files, pics etc, off the phone. Flash a stock ROM in TWRP, wipe dalvik & cache. Then flash stock '49' recovery using ADB. Power up normally & take update. It should execute flawlessly. You could also flash the stock firmware for marshmallow via RSDlite, but that will wipe your data off the phone. Bootloader will still remain unlocked so you can Flash TWRP back on afterwards. Root can only be restored by flashing a particular beta version in TWRP. Better details and download links in the XDA forum thread for droid turbo.
USE THE TWRP-FLASHABLE VERSION OF UPDATE

Congratulations on having an unlocked bootloader! No need to do all that above, unless you really want. There's also a TWRP-flashable version on that update already posted in this forum. Just flash it in TWRP. It's the full update, minus stock recovery so you can keep TWRP and also flash it in TWRP!
@TheSt33v, who wrote the guide in this forum about unlocking the Droid Turbo bootloader is who posted it, so you can trust it.
[ROM] MCG24.251-5 100% Stock
https://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-turbo/development/rom-mcg24-251-5-100-stock-t3512949
All updates like that will ALWAYS be posted here in various formats. Never any need to take an OTA. That's one of the great things about XDA.

Also, there's a TWRP-flashable stock-based Verizon Marshmallow ROM by @computerfreek274. It's basically this Verizon Marshmallow update but tweaked, optimized, debloated.
