[Stock][Lollipop 5.0.2][Root & Recovery][LB/UB] D6502/03 23.1.A.0.726 | CompleteGuide
As per many requests for d6503 variant, I have included the D6503 files too.
Hai friends, here is the complete guide to root your Xperia Z2 D6502/6503 lollipop 5.0.2 with build number 23.1.A.0.726.
And its for both Locked and unlocked bootloaders.
What are we going to do?
1. We need to downgrade your firmware to the rootable one (17.1.2.A.0.314).
2. Then root it and, install dual recovery
3. Then flash the latest 23.1.A.0.726 zip file, which is pre rooted.
4. For the safer side, i didn't include the kernel with the zip. So, we have to flash the ftf for the kernel
5. That's all!!
The latest release of Lollipop with build number 23.1.A.1.28 pre rooted files and instructions can be found here.

Hi all,
I really want root access on my stock lollipop 5.0.2 firmware, and my bootloader is locked (Bootloader unlock allowed: yes) so can I follow this guide for my D6503?
Many thanks

You can follow the steps, but dont use the same ftf and zip files. Create them separately or download for D6503.. The given ones are for D6502..

I just tried this using the US version of the FTF's for D6503. It seems that you have to wipe cache, appslog, and data, otherwise the phone goes into bootloop.
So if you are trying this, be warned that it will wipe your data.

Thanks for the guide.

I strongly recommend you to do from the beginning.. Because you are on a custom ROM, and the thread is about Stock ROM.
If you want all your apps and data, then follow the steps given below.
Steps
1. Copy the flashable.zip into memory card/external sd card
2. Boot into recovery and flash the flashable.zip
2.1 Now, try to switch on the phone.​2.2 If the phone is switched on,​2.2.1 Backup all your apps using the backup application (Use the backup application, found on the Tools folder from App drawer/Menu)​2.3 If the phone is not turning on or Bootloop Occurs,​2.3.1 Switch off the phone by pressing Power button and Volume Up button simultaneously​2.3.2 Then follow the steps from, 23 ​from this thread
2.3.3 Then, Backup all your apps using the backup application (Use the backup application, found on the Tools folder from App drawer/Menu)​3. After the backup done, Do a fresh installation by following all the given steps.
4. Then Restore the backed up things.

Hi,
I have a Z2 D6502 locked to O2 in the UK.
Great tutorial, worked great and I'm rooted on 5.0.2, but I have one quite major problem....I have 'unknown' baseband and IMEI showing as 'null'.
I no longer get O2 startup screen when I boot phone which is nice, but obviously need to regain the use of the phone.
My bootloader is showing as locked and apparently not able to be unlocked.
Any help appreciated.

If you are in UK your handset is more likely to be d6503. Flashing a d6502 rom will cause these symptoms

Thanks that makes sense, for some reason had it in my head that it was a 6502, just looked up differences between 6502 & 6503.
Will refash later, nice to have got rid of O2 startup animation anyway

I get error when i flash the rom.
Any solution?

Im on existenz 4.4.4 will it be possible if you will include the 726 kermel to the flashable zip?currently my computer is not working so cant use flashtool.thanks

Thanks a lot,

Did you unlock your bootloader? that can explain the camera issue. btw you should post of the IHackers Thread not create your own thread in general section
1) downgrade and try again, this time flash the .zip for dual recovery AFTER flashing the rom and BEFORE rebooting (EDIT before trying that, make sure you have granted ADB shell root access in superuser app)
2) Clear data in settings/app/camera common

Hi!
I did all written stuff! I didn't unlock BL at all! Within all those stuff, nothing appeared to open BL!
OR
Is there an option within FLASHTOOL which will open BL while flashing Firmware and/or 257-Kernel?
BTW:
I'm not allowed to post within iHackers-thread!
Thx + BR,

If you do not know the answer to that I would you suggest you stay away from unlocking the bootloader until you have learned a few basics

Hi!
So just do the whole procedure (beginning from first line) once again? It's not the prob, just want to be 100% safe!
And after that, you think that ...
- Dual-CWM will be installed
- Camera-issue will have been gone
- iHackers V1.2 will be installed
Thx

There is no need to do it all again, but the issue will be gone if you flash that file when I say and if you clear data in settings/app/camera common

Hi!
1) So I should use Flashtool to get this *.zip flashed onto Z1 NOW or should it be flashed onto Z1?
2) Already cleaded data from 'camera common' but still same camera-prob
Thanks for your great support
1) Use flashtool to flash 534
2) Root it
3) Let it update OTA
4) Install DualRecovery from here
5) Enter Recovery, factory reset, clear cache, clear dalvik.
6) Follow the installation guide to install the rom of your choice. The only thing to do differently is AFTER flashing the rom.zip and BEFORE rebooting flash the .zip file I mentioned in the earlier post.
6) Reboot
7) Done

Hi!
Sorry, I'm really a bit nooby and just want to be 100% safe!
1) Use flashtool to flash 534 (connect Z1 with PC, start flashtool, flash, Flashmode, pick 534-firmware, flash)
1-2) reboot
2) Root it (Kindo)
2-1) reboot

Sent from my C6903 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Hello!
I did like following but got problem (marked in red)! Do someone know how to get that fixed?
1) Use flashtool to flash 534 (connect Z1 with PC, start flashtool, flash, Flashmode, pick 534-firmware, flash)
1-2) reboot
2) Root it (Kindo)
2-1) reboot
3) Let it update OTA (just download OTA + install)
4) Install DualRecovery (file name: ZU-lockeddualrecovery2.7.42-BETA.windows.zip) - (unpack on PC, double-click *.bat, install by using 'supersu')
4-1) reboot and hold 'Volume +'
5) Enter Recovery, factory reset, clear cache, clear dalvik.
RECOVERY IS NOT ABLE TO LOCATE/GET FILE FROM EXTERNAL SD!!! ALL FILES ARE ON EXTERNAL SD BUT RECOVERY SHOWS EXTERNAL SD WITH 0BYTES!!! SO HOW TO GET MY EXTERNAL SD WORKING WELL???
BTW (before someone is asking):
The external SD already checked on PC and on PC, on an EEEPC and on an other smartphone, that SD is working well!
would like to proceed the following steps, too:
5-1) iHacker 1.2 on external card
5-2) install zip from ... + follow instructions
6) Follow the installation guide to install the rom of your choice.
6-1) NO REBOOT
6-2) stay in recovery and install zip from external card and flash the 'Z1-lockeddualrecovery2.7.42-BETA.zip''
6) Reboot
7) Done
Thanks a lot for your kind support and have a nice weekend,

Rooting and Unroot Huawei P8 GRA-xxx Marshmallow (Android 6) [All Stock-Firmwares with EMUI4.0.1]​
For newer Firmwares use following Guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75460388&postcount=323
Note: DONT FLASH SUPERSU OVER EXISTING ROOT - SINCE SUPERSU 2.82 IT IS REQUIRED TO UNROOT YOUR PHONE BEFORE USING NEWER VERSION!
SuperSU-v2.82-SR5-permissive.zip by Tecalote: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=962187416754458671 MD5: b168a88bc815d3fac521ace97402a949
It enables init.d and SELinux Permissive (required for installing several mods like Viper4Android etc...)
NEW TWRP released by @AD2076 : https://eu.dl.twrp.me/grace/twrp-3.1.1-0-grace.img.html
This new method should work on all types of GRA (GRA-L09-TL00-CL00-UL00-UL10-TL10-CL10) for newer Firmwares from 2017 on!
For Unroot you can do it directly from SuperSU App - with restoring the boot.img (SuperSU App ask you, answer with YES) - or alternative you can flash UnSU Script with TWRP:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63615067
If you flash unsu script - you must restore your original unmodified boot.img from TWRP Backup! This make sure you can boot straight to system after Unroot.
If you flash instead boot.img extracted from update.app you cannot boot to system before installing EMUI Recovery and doing Factoryreset.
But it is possible to Root your Phone directly after flashing boot.img to BOOT
Restoring boot.img is required after Unroot in every case! A) If you like to stay unrooted and B) if you want to Root with new Version of SuperSU. If you want Root with new SuperSU, you must restore original boot.img. After you have restored it from TWRP Backup or flashed it with adb in Fastboot Mode, you can Root directly after restoring without boot to system before.
If you cannot restore boot.img, because you have no TWRP Backup from Boot, you can download the Firmware for your build Number (Settings/About Phone) from here:
http://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/?firmware_model=GRA&firmware_page=0
With following Tool you can extract boot.img from UPDATE.APP - Huawei Update Extractor: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433454
Unlocked Bootloader required
Unlocked Bootloader:
If your Bootloader is locked install the App Huawei-ID on your Phone. On newer Firmwares, the Huawei-ID App is already preinstalled.
But anyway update it to this version: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=385035244224383206
After you must visit website for login and requesting the unlock-code. Visit: http://emui.huawei.com/en/plugin/hwdownload/download and click: Unlock Bootloader.
Make an Account or Login with your Huawei-ID, click again: Unlock Bootloader. Fill out form - you can find all information in Settings "About the Phone" and "Status" - for the Product-ID use dialer ( *#*#1357946#*#* ). Submit information and you receive the Unlock Code.
- On your phone activate the developer options (Settings "About the phone" press several times consecutively the "Build-Number")
- In developer options activate "USB-Debugging"
- In Settings "Security" activate "Unknown Sources" and HiSuite HDB accept
- install the latest HiSuite (from Huawei) on your PC - Download: http://consumer.huawei.com/minisite/HiSuite_en/index.html
- start HiSuite and connect your Phone with the USB-Cable with your PC. You will receive a fingerprint question on your Phone, acitvate "Always" and "Yes"
- accept also the installing of HiSuite on your Phone. As soon the drivers are installed and your phone is succesful connected, close HiSuite (even in the background).
- unzipp "Minimal ADB + Fastboot", install it on your PC - Download: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=385035244224386526
- (the path will be C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot) - after open the Program as Administrator
- tap: adb devices (your device must listed with ID)
- tap: adb reboot bootloader (Phone restart in Fastboot-Mode) You will see, your bootloader is locked
- wait until PC installs additional drivers, after:
- tap: fastboot devices (your device must listed with ID)
- tap: fastboot oem unlock YOUR16DIGITCODE (which you have received from Huawei) - after unlock tap: fastboot reboot
If you have problems to execute fastboot-commands and you see just: "Waiting for any devices" - or if you have trouble with hardware-buttons read following information: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=69440645&postcount=129
Old methods (2016) - not reccomended for newer Firmwares (2017..)
It is no more possible to Root Huawei Firmware up to EMUI 4.01 with newer Versions of SuperSU (current stable 2.78) neither with the Force Systemless Command! Dont try it, because SuperSU will destroy the original boot.img of the Firmware - See Screenshot 1. You can flash the zip but your phone would not boot and staying on the Rescue-Screen of the Bootloader.... That´s why I maked this Thread!
All methods updated 13.10.2016 - everything works now! .
For systemless rooting (like my method A) you can also use the SRKToolHuawei 2.0 by @somboons

Before you going to root your phone make a full Nandroid Backup (all shown Partitions) with TWRP - if something goes wrong you can restore your backup.

After you have rooted your phone - it is recommended to flash Busybox in TWRP:
I always prefere BusyBox YDS by YashdSaraf for Huawei P8. This busybox recognizes which kind of Root and architecture you have and it will install to in the right directory. It uses also arm64 Binarys - just flash it after Rooting and first boot to system with TWRP.
You can find the Thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software-hacking/tool-busybox-flashable-archs-t3348543
Use in Download Section the Universal zip or the ARM zip (it conains arm64).

Sorry for my late answer. I saw your message just right now. GRA-UL10 is Chinese Unicom Dual 4G model, with Kirin 935 chipset and 64GB ROM. Which firmware version do you have? The Root Method A should work without problem. Be sure you make before rooting a complete Nandroid Backup. If something goes wrong you can reboot to TWRP with hardware keys and restore system, data and boot. So nothing bad could happened.
The Methods B and C needs to flash the Custom Kernel, I don't know if it works with GRA-UL10. But with a Full TWRP Nandroid Backup you can try... Please let me know if it works for you
Info:The TWRP should work with GRA-UL10 without problems - or do you have another one working for marshmallow? If yes, please post. Thanks
Result without success
Hi, thanks for your post. I tried with the first option with SYSTEMLESS and STOCK Kernel. Everything worked as you described but after I tried to reboot the phone was dead. I had to reinstall the B370 update I had in /dload folder. I followed very carefully your instructions step by step.
First successful rooted boot, I updated SuperSu with the binary option and rebooted without problems. But one hour after I tried to reboot the phone manually and then the problem appeared.
My phone is working now but I don't know how to make this permanent. Do you have any idea?
Ps: attached screenshot of my current build
Thanks again!

Did you have a custom Rom before? I am wondering - normally the Model number shows Huawei GRA-L09 or GRA-UL00 and not GRACE. Grace is both http://consumer.huawei.com/tz/support/products/technicalspecs/grace-tz.htm?utm_source=Viber&utm_medium=Chat&utm_campaign=Private
So, which Model do you have? Please tell me.
You said you did it step by step with my instruction. I wrote several times to make a Backup of system, data and boot with TWRP. You had TWRP, otherwise you could not flash SuperSU. If the phone got a problem you could boot it to TWRP by holding vol+ and power key and restore the backup. No need to flash again the firmware. Didn't you make a TWRP Nandroid Backup?
The other thing I cannot understand is - normally it is absolutely necessary to flash back the Original Stock Recovery before doing any stock firmware update with dload. And it is also important to unroot. I am wondering if this was successful...
Which Rom (version) did you have before? Was your phone rooted before b370? Did you unroot before upgrade to this version? Did you make a full Wipe before upgrading or a factory reset? If you use b370 your model must be GRA-L09. Because the other models have not this version yet. (if my information is right)
I don't think the problem is the Root Method A.
If your Model is really a GRA-L09 I would recommend Root Method B or C with the custom Kernel. But if you use at the moment a Custom Rom instead of the stock firmware there would no need to root because having already root.
Something in the story is not conform but I need more information to get an idea what is the specific problem. Because I tested all three Versions without any problem...
No, I did not have a custom ROM. The GRACE model appeared as soon as I updated with an official B370 Europe. In fact I have my bootloader unlocked and I had to use this Model Name to get the unlock code from Huawei. Before doing the update I had GRA-L09.
Yes, I have a TWRP backup, I made it before rooting but I didn't use it because the only way to power on the device was either bootloader or recovery (Vol- & Power / Vol+ & Power)
When I tried recovery, Huawei's recovery appeared taking my update.app on /dload (didn't have any other option at that moment, the process started automatically). I didn't lose any data, the phone after the update started normally with all my settings exactly as it was before rooting, but this time SuperSU says the phone needs to be rooted.
For some reason TWRP is not installed anymore. If I try now, the Huawei Recovery starts. I currently have B370 same as before rooting. No full wipe before upgrading neither a factory reset.
I read that Huawei Stock recovery can rewrite your custom recovery, is that possible?
J.
Of course. After flashing the Recovery you must disconnect the USB cable from Phone and PC and boot manually with vol+ and power until you see the Huawei Logo. In that moment you must leave the power button but holding vol+ until the TWRP starts. This need a while. If you don't do this, Stock Recovery will be reflashed. Only the first boot to Twrp is important. After that TWRP will not be overwritten anymore. I am wondering about Model "Grace" I had b321a before and make the update with full firmware - after it shows me also GRA-L09 and not GRACE... Anyway. Sometimes things are strange. Okay. You must flash TWRP again and immediately after successful flashing manually boot to Twrp - but disconnect from PC!
Before all doing this be sure you have the Custom Kernel and SuperSU 2.76 on your SD. Flash first the Kernel and after SuperSU 2.76 - if you want systemless then with Force systemless Command before, if you want Root in System then without this command. And you will be happy and no more having problems with Root
The problem was, that you did not manually reboot to Twrp after flashing
@juanzete - Did you solve your problems now and Root is succesful? @lordcookies Did you try one of the root method for your GRA-UL00?

Which one of the three Root method did you use? I would like to know, thanks
GRA-L09, method 3 works but root isn't systemless. I am trying to install systemless xposed but it fails because of system mode root... Any ideas?
Before you ask:
I flashed the custom kernel properly
/data/.supersu is present and contains SYSTEMLESS=true
I said NO to TWRP root offer

Hi, I made a new Kernel specifically for SuperSU 2.78 - you can download it: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=109256
Before you try method 3 with the new Kernel and the Original SuperSU 2.78: https://download.chainfire.eu/1001/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.78-20160905010000.zip - you must Unroot your Phone and after install again. It should work.
I tested method 3 several times without any problems.

I am gonna try it. Of course I unrooted before trying.
The big problem is I have to completely unroot at every reboot if I wanna play that throw a ball to the monster game
On another device I have systemless root + systemless xposed + suhide and I can play with no problems.
Does this kernel have adb enabled?

If you have then succesful rooted and Xposed Framework installed you can try Module RootCloak

RootCloack doesn't bypass SafetyNet check, suhide does.
I can root successfully but there are problems because the root isn't really systemless and SafetyNet detects it even with suhide.
Furthermore systemless xposed fails to install and complains about the supersu version < 2.76.
Of course I used 2.78
Btw your kernel works but required some reboots to work properly. At first boot SIM was not detected and the system was very very laggy.
I am available for more testing
Which Firmware to you use? I have tested it on b370, but with SuperSU 2.76- I will try it again in the evening with 2.78
I cannot understand yet, why it dont root systemless with method 3.
And RootCloack is available also with Support MM (new version) - do you mean, this dont hide root for your game? I write again, as soon I have time solving your issue.

I use B370 FF Edition from Blackball.
I just noticed I have an old twrp version: 2.8.7.0 by Jemmini. I am gonna upgrade and see if suhide works, it requires twrp > 3
B370 FF Edition is prerooted in Systemmode. I think, thats why the SuperSU Installer ignore perhaps the systemless command.
Dont know if there is a way to do it. May you ask Fromfuture in his Thread.
Or you install the Original Stock Version b370.
I used the completely unroot option in supersu before rooting systemless

Sony Xperia Z4/Z3+ (E6553/6533) Downgrade Nougat to Marshmallow

After hearing a lot of people having problem with the Sony Official Nougat update (7.0 ver. 32.3.A.0.376) in past recent months, I hence decided to make a guide on how to downgrade (6.0.1 ver. 32.2.A.5.11) for N00bs​
HTML:
/*
* Your warranty will not be void.
*
* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed.
* Follow instruction properly and you are good.
*/
Prerequisite
1. Xperia Z3+ drivers (adb, fastboot/s1 drivers)
2. Flashtool (optional Xperifirm, it comes with XperiFirm in built) Dev by @Androxyde -
FlashTool by Androxyde
3. Marshmallow Rom (in .ftf format)
4. Phone with atleast 70~80% battery
5. Windows 7 is higly recommended so you can install unsigned drivers for your phone without any hassle
WIndows 8 and 8.1 - Flashtool/Fastboot ADB Driver Fix​
Notes:
Make sure to Backup all your files (Internal Memoy) and keep it somewhere safe on PC or External Storage, as this method will erase everything from Phone.
This method is working on Locked Bootloader and Non Rooted device, so it is advisable to do it in the same conditions otherwise official roms won't work.
-: SO LETS BEGIN :-​
1. Install Right Drivers for your phone
Flashtool and Fastboot Drivers Pack - Only Check FlashTool Drivers and Fastboot Drivers no other divers required while installing.
S1 Boot Driver - Download and Install it via Device Manager How to Install Driver for Xperia from Device Manager​
2. Open Xperifirm, find your device on left window
In flashtool click 'XF' button on utility bar​
3. Find your Market (for example, India) and your Operator (for example, Customized IN)
4. In XperiFirm far right under your Xperia Model Preview , you can see available firmware - Download the one which you see is Marshmallow, Click Download and wait till it finishes.
(for example - 32.2.A.0.305 and 32.2.A.5.11 are same Android Marshmallow variant with different security patches and bug fixes but for different countries, UK and India respectively, so it will work just make sure it is Marshmallow by Googling the version number)
5. After firmware download completed, open FlashTool -> Tools -> Bundles -> FILESET Decrypt. And now locate your downloaded firmware files which is 'FILE_XXXXXXXX' and other many more like this in a folder, select the containing folder. Now in FlashTool window select all the files with same name structure (example: FILE_58854456) if there are any other files like 'fwinfo' or 'info' DO NOT SELECT IT, I RECOMMEND DELETE IT FROM THE FOLDER. After making selection hit the " -> " key , it will move the contents to right. Click Convert.FILESET Decrypt Tutorial with Pictures (External Site/NON-XDA)
6. After 'Decrypt' completes it will open a 'Bundler' window, here you need to select file from left and click ' -> ' to move it to the right, you need all files except xml files (example: boot_delivery.xml, fota.xml). The TA files didnt made any problems while flashing or booting in my experience. So, Include '.sin' and '.ta' files and no problem will prevail.
7. In FlashTool now, plug your phone (do not use MTP mode if asked on phone, keep in Charging Only) and you will see a message on FlashTool [ Device connected with USB debugging off ] so go to Settings -> About -> Build Number (Tap 5 Times) -> Settings -> Developer Option -> Enable USB Debugging. [Phone if asks - Allow USB Debugging on this device? - Click Always allow and then Yes/Okay]
8. In FlashTool click on Thunder icon from Utility bar, and select Flashmode. After this Open your rom folder were you downloaded (.ftf) earlier.
9. Choose your Device filter name by clicking the greyed out panel. Write Branding (= Operator from XperiFirm) and Version (in my case 32.2.A.5.11) of your Rom. Now Select eveything from '"Wipe Box" - Cache, Data, APPSLOG .etc' (will clear everything from your device, make sure to backup your internal storage)
10. Do not check or Uncheck anything from Exclude Sin and Misc. TA box. Click on flash.
11. FlashTool will show a mesaage Preparing files for Flashing wait for it, after that it will tell you to go into fastboot mode, to do this simply follow this:
-> Disconnect USB
-> Power off Device
-> Press Volume Up button Phone
-> While Pressing Volume Up Button Connect USB Cable
Now a Green and Blue led will blink and stays constant blue/green there while Fastboot starts flashing files.
12. Now after the flashing completes the device will reboot and you will get Marshmallow. :fingers-crossed:

Ask questions i will try to give answers.

Ya I agree!! but still nougat is a buggy release from Sony.. It is incomplete!! U can't get that satisfaction what u got on MM!! Big cores disabled in nougat... U can't even watch the more realistic 1080p 60fps on YouTube.. Heats.. Lags..its a flight flying with one wing!! MM WAS A CHARM
My last update was 32.3.A.2.33 , what was before that one?
can someone share a list of firmwares for Xperia z3+?
whats is the difference between regions ? RU,hk, LA, etc ?
Bloatware..
I tried flashing 6.0.1 coming from 7.1.1 but wont work.
I have root access, unlocked bootloader. Do i need to relock bootloader and unroot my device to be able to downgrade from 7.1.1 to 6.0.1
