I have a Xperia Z C6602 with JB 4.1.2 build 434 LOCKED BOOTLOADER. I've rooted the phone with Bin4ry's tool. After the rooting, I install CWM v4 and then I restart the phone. When I use root explorer and to to system and mount R/O or using Titanium backup and try to delete system's file and the phone reboot itself and it stucks in sony logo and keep rebooting. I have the re-flash the ROM using Sony Update Service and try to root agian. The same issue happens...

Don't use a pre-rooted ROM, seems like this is a common problem on locked bootloaders.
What do you mean "pre-rooted ROM" ?
I update using Sony Update Service, it's a clean rom or pre-rooted rom?
I had that kind of problem. I've flashed with Flashtool and wiped everything. Now I see it is working.

1-repair your phone with Sony update service.
2-go to settings > backup and reset > factory data reset (internal wipe, so back it up the things you need)
3-root with this method. Make sure you understand everything before proceeding.
Goodluck

I've tried every way I can. Use flash-tool flash ROM and wipe everything, using SUS. I believe that Bin4ry's tool is based on goroh_kun and huhka_com's toolkit.

when gorohkun and huhka first released their rooting method, I first tried Bin4ry's tool but it failed to root my phone. Then i went over to doomlord's thread which is the original way (gorohkun and huhka) to root the phone and it was successful. I've rooted my T,ZL,Z countless time without any issues.

Thanks, I'll give it a try.
And try to install TWRP not CWM. Just an idea.
Try using v30 rooting toolkit, it solves all the reboot problems!

Original thread is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=45344021
This method will help you gain root access on the latest .67 4.2.2 update that Sony recently pushed out.
Disclaimer:
- This requires a PC.
- No CWM needed.
- This installs a Chinese root manager rather than superuser or superSU. But I will teach you how to replace it below.
Instruction:
1. Download the rooting application. (This app can root many other devices )
VRoot_1.6.0.3690
http://www.mediafire.com/download/v3...3690_Setup.exe
2. Install the app. This is a Chinese app so I will guide you. Below is a step by step screenshot attached guide.
3. Start VROOT and root now!
4. Now we need to install SuperSU from play store to replace the Chinese root manager called 授权管理 1.0.4.
5. Go to play store and install SuperSU.
6. Start SuperSU and you will be asked for permission by 授权管理 1.0.4, choose 允许(means allow). (Should be the right side option.)
7. SuperSU will prompt to install SU binary, go ahead with OK and it will display successful.
8. Now, freeze 授权管理 1.0.4 in titanium backup, just in case you need it again.
Note: If you uninstall straight away from app manager, you need to make sure SuperSU updated the binary.
9. Re-run SuperSU to make sure everything is alright. You will be prompt again to install SU binary, just do what it asked.
10. After that, you are rooted with SuperSU and 授权管理 1.0.4 will not be there anymore.

Can someone upload an ftf with just the kernel.sin and bootloader.sin for the C5503? I tried creating one using C5502 kernel and i got stuck in a boot loop. luckily my battery was just at about 10% and so I quickly flashed back the 4.2.2 Kernel of the 5503 and all is well.
Once we get the kernel only ftf, can test and create guide for rooting 5503 on 4.2.2

Tried with the C5503 kernel. Same boot loop. I think we'll have to find an alternate root method, as unlike the Z, the ZR doesnt have .234 firmware [that is also 4.2]
Experimenting with the Z firmware. Wish me luck
Why not flash only kernel from the previous firmware? Isn't working?
UPD. I see - not work

Firstly you need to unlock your bootloader. Google that, its easy. OR you can do it through flashtools (not tested).
Enable USB Debugging and unknown sources option on your phone before proceeding.
Download Flashtool, Open it. Flash the the kernel of an old firmware of Xperia ZR which was rootable.
Reboot your Xperia ZR after flashing. Connect to PC in USB Debugging mode.
Do not forget to close FLASHTOOL.
Extract the downloaded “DooMLoRD_Easy-Rooting-Toolkit_v18_perf-event-exploit.zip” file and run the “runme_win” file.
Follow onscreen instructions to root Xperia ZR and once it is rooted, device will reboot. Verify that you are rooted, run SuperSU app.
Now switch off your Xperia ZR. OPEN FLASHTOOL.
Now you need to flash the true kernel of Android 4.2.2 10.3.1.A.0.244 firmware of Xperia ZR.
After flashing, disconnect the phone from PC, reboot it and your Xperia ZR is now rooted

So basically you're doing:
Use FlashTool to flash the 4.2.2 FTF
Downgrade the kernel by using FlashTool back to 4.1.2
Run the DoomLord rooting kit
Flash back 4.2.2 kernel using FlashTool
To flash the kernel you need an unlocked bootloader. What I don't understand is how to flash the kernel only? I found the kernel.sin inside the FTF file. Can I just delete other .sin file and flash the remaining FTF file?
Sorry if my questions are noob.

You need to keep the kernel.sin and bootloader.sin in the ftf and delete the rest. Also don't delete the META-INF file.

The problem is the bootloader? I thought doom's thread said that this was for locked and unlocked bootloader. Unlocking the bootloader will lead to a lot of people avoiding the root method.

So is an unlocked bootloader NEEDED for this method to work for ZR? I thought DoomLord said it works for both.

I did manage to root it, but then the phone suddenly restarts. Now I am stuck with bootloops. Strange as I managed to install Superuser from the Play Store.
Edit. I recommend not trying to root using this method. Wait till theres a definitive rooting method.

Yes. I fixed the bootloop issue. Need any help with the bootloop?
If you've got a bootloop, pull the battery asap as once it dies, you won't be able to flash ftf and the device will be bricked.
To fix bootloop [and still not get root access]
1. Open the 4.2.2 ftf file in flashtool.
2. Exclude everything [tick in the exclude box] except the kernel, and untick everything in the wipe box [data, applog]
3. Flash the kernel by pressing the volume down button while plugging in USB cable [DONT PRESS POWER BUTTON AFTER BATTERY PULL AS OTHERWISE YOU'LL GO BACK INTO BOOTLOOP]
4. After it flashes [should take a couple of seconds], reboot and you should be back to normal
I REPEAT PULL THE BATTERY IF IN A BOOTLOOP OR YOU'LL LAND UP WITH ANOTHER PAPERWEIGHT

I just learned a lesson! Thanks!
So again you're not successful in rooting 4.2.2 using the kernel switching method?
i think the kernel switching fix will not work on ZR.. we don't have a rootable 4.2 kernel
i think the 423 kernel is 4.2

It happened to me also, but it's possible to recover from it.
Install PC Companion on your PC.
Go to Support Zone.
First option -> Update phone / tablet software.
You will see a underlined link that says "repair phone / tablet"
Just follow the instructions.
You will need your phone to have at least 50% battery level. Take out the battery, insert again, and connect your phone to your PC via USB while pressing the Volume + button. You will hear a sound coming from your PC meaning it's been connected.
Sony PC Companion then will flash your phone with the latest firmware. It takes a while and you need to have internet connection, but it works.
As you flashed the Russian system rom, the firmware installed in your phone by Sony PC companion will be the Russian Android 4.2.2. No problem with this as it includes all the languages.
Do this as soon as possible as you need your battery charged and you can't charge the battery in your phone while in the bootloop state.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm not sure what we did wrong to be stuck in a bootloop, but after my ZR being reflashed by Sony PC Companion I just flashed the Nordic 4.2.2 ROM and my phone remains unrooted until there is a easier method to get root

In fact you should read the other thread for a workable root method for 4.2.2. This thread is very old and AFAIK this method doesn't work.

I find solution that can make CWM and Xposed installer working! :laugh:
After follow all the instruction on my first post, now:
1. Make sure have to tick unknown source and USB debugging (Abount phone > keep clicking the build number until it show Developer options)
2. Open file (XT-lockeddualrecovery2.7.89-BETA.installer.zip) and run (install.bat)
3. While progressing, check your phone and select OK
4. Done!
5. After installing then open app (NDR Utils), select ClockWordMod and click Reboot into Recovery (don't not press volume up or down while rebooting).
*6. If Reboot into Recovery not working, then manually power off and on again, but I think still having some issue there. Sorry if not working
For Xposed Installer:
1. Download from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48484642&postcount=6846
2. Install. Then shut down your phone and power on again.
3. Done.

Shouldn't be a problem with locked bootloader. After flashing (TX LT29i 4.3 295 deodex flashable04.zip), try to flash (XT-lockeddualrecovery2.7.89-BETA.flashable.zip), then (UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.91.zip). Mmm.. and my opinion is not to upgrade to sony official 4.3 JB, because having lot of bugs and the most annoying bug is that will turn your phone off when fully charge. Maybe you can try 4.3 leak from EXR

Thanks man i.ve allready try it and i locked the bootloader again and restore the TA backup, i´m testing now with this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2657190 and yes i know about all the bugs on 4.3, personally didn´t see that bug on my phone i leave it all night charging and wake up and its on and 100% charged so there´s no problem there for me, what does really bothers me is the volume bug and low volume system, but with root and CWM installed i guess it can be fixed.
So in order to use this method I should start with rooted 4.1.2? If so unfortunately I've lost root access due to official 4.3 update

i Downgraded it to 534 and rooted it with "Root with Restore by Bin4ry"
then i flashed XZ Locked Dual Recovery and had no problems
i wiped everything like i should
and then i tried to install via TWRP the 290 Flashable.zip
after it i shut off my device (i didn't reboot just shut it off)
then i started to flash the striped 290 on the device
after this when i try to start the device all i see is SONY
and nothing else..
when i downgrade the firmware again to 534 and root it there are no problems... only when i try to flash to 290 it get stuck at the sony screen...
is there someone that could help me? :/
EDIT:
after i flash the 290 firmware via TWRP i get the message:

yes i can via flashtool
there is no problem in flashing 534 with flashtool
was is creeping me out is that when i stuck on the sony logo i can't even go into the recovery so i have to flash everytime 534 root it install the recovery agauin and then i can try it another time...
i also tried it with phil recovery and "wipe to install a new rom" but even this didn't helped :/
when i didn't wiped anything after rooting 534 and install 290 over the rooted 534 i was able to go into the recovery and i saw "xperia" and the animation but it always rebooted at this point :/

Have you tried another 290 firmware? Maybe this has beeing corrupted for some reason...
Nope i haven't i will try it.
Btw. Is it possible because i have a locked bootloader

Sure. Unlock bootloader is needed if you want to flash custom kernel. All ftf on sticky thread on general section are pure stock ROM, with pure stock kernel. So locked bootloader won't be a problem.

I was having the same angry problem.
I was on. 534 with Root and DualRecovery I wipe system,cache,data,internal storage and flash than the .136 first time a Germany Version then the stripped (Germany Version) without reboot the phone .zip then I got a bootloop after 8 times flash again I notice that not I make a mistake it is the faulty .zip that have a error inside( the flash was fine but it stuck on Sony logo)
Then I take the two files from Nut Tut. 136 and it work without problems.

Boot in to recovery and do a wipe of cache and dalvik cache. This could resolve problem. :good:

No. You dont need to flash stock rom. Do you have Stock Settings.apk? If yes I'll learn to you. If not I can upload it for you. Can I know what firmware version you are running? .205 or .207?

First of all, open your build.prop file and fine for these lines.
ro.service.swiqi3.supported=true
persist.service.swiqi3.enable=1
then delete these lines and save. DON'T reboot.
Now push attached Settings.apk to system/app and set permissions as rw--r--r--. Now reboot and check if still showing Android is upgrading.
Please check and confirm.
Don't forget to press Thanks if I helped !

Stock settings.apk may not have a point for X-Reality in Display settings. So it must be replaced to a ported version.
If there is still Android is upgrading, you should have to flash stock ftf. Flash if then root it via Towelroot, then inform me. I'll guide you how to get X-Reality option without any problem :laugh: :laugh:
Hey man the problem has nothing to do with the zip itself. Use Rootexplorer or something to go to data/app. There you must search for any .odex files (if you have deodexed ROM). Delete those and go to recovery to wipe dalvik cache again. Now you won't see android upgrading anymore.

Can i still use lucky patcher? or if i use lucky patcher the android upgrading will be back again
Make a nandroid backup before using lucky patcher. Now install it and and then reboot into recovery and wipe dalvik cache then uuse lucky patcher.

Yes of course. If you just delete those .odex files lucky patcher created in data/app and wipe dalvik and reboot, you'll only have to patch your apps again, no data lost

You can delete those too if you have a deodexed ROM. Did you patch a system app, or did you use freedom?
Use kamone tool to deodex the ROM aand then push them back or make flashable zipp
