Looking for an Orange branded RAZR i to get the firmware off of. Will require root and having some time to team viewer session.
How to tell if you are Orange branded:
In Settings > About Phone the System Version will look something like this, but the numbers may be off.
81.4.38001.XT890.Orange.en.GB
The important part is the XT890.Orange.en.GB.
Give me a ring at my gtalk ([email protected]) or PM me if you got one and willing to help get the firmware off of it.
Cheers
Dear sir,
Thk for your great work & ask ;
1) After unlock bootloader & flash root kernel & flash back official kernel,will it still root ?
2) Will root allow to update ?
3)Will subsequent update to Jelly Bean have to re-unlock & re root again ?
4)How to replace whole rom with this big size 81.5.38002.Retail.en.GB,fastboot command ?
5) Any place can i get CWM with update kernel or new rom,backup?
Have a good day.Bye.Daniel

Thk for your great work & ask ;
1) After unlock bootloader & flash root kernel & flash back official kernel,will it still root ? The root tool I does flashes the insecure, which allows remounting /system/. When this is done the root files are pushed to the phone and set for permissions. Then, not needing the insecured kernel anymore and keeping OTA updates intact, we flash back the secured kernel. So yes, you will still be rooted.
2) Will root allow to update ? Since you flash back the stock kernel, it won't affect root.
3)Will subsequent update to Jelly Bean have to re-unlock & re root again ? Unlock a permanent. We will have to re-root since it seems we cannot use OTA Rootkeeper and similar apps. Not a big deal though.
4)How to replace whole rom with this big size 81.5.38002.Retail.en.GB,fastboot command ? My firmware changer already includes and uses the newer fastboot that does 100MB parts required. (Thanks to P3Droid and aosp.us for that).
5) Any place can i get CWM with update kernel or new rom,backup? No CWM yet.
Have a good day.Bye.Daniel

Q&A for [23.0.1.A.5.77] Debloated, Deodexed, Zipaligned, Rooted, Super User Mode - 28/Jan/15
Some developers prefer that questions remain separate from their main development thread to help keep things organized. Placing your question within this thread will increase its chances of being answered by a member of the community or by the developer.
Before posting, please use the forum search and read through the discussion thread for [23.0.1.A.5.77] Debloated, Deodexed, Zipaligned, Rooted, Super User Mode - 28/Jan/15. If you can't find an answer, post it here, being sure to give as much information as possible (firmware version, steps to reproduce, logcat if available) so that you can get help.
Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy!
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
4. Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache (and Data - optional)

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 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.

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.
The official Sense 7 for MM is out!!
For those who haven't or cannot receive the OTA and you cannot wait, here is it!
In this post you can find the followings:

Sweep to sleep module
FAQ
Firmware
Here is the full firmware pack before flashing the rom. You can choose stock or the one with no red text.
Unzip the firmware zip, and change mid and cid in android-info.txt to your own one.
This firmware will not wipe data!! Flash without any fears
S-OFF Only!! S-ON users can try flashing this rom with older firmwares.
Stock: DevDB Download
No red text: DevDB Download
Aroma Stock Rom (With selectable root ,wp_mod, s2s_mod)
The installer will install everything for you.
If you want root, take a look at the next section for some info about root methods.
I haven't got much time, so I'm using block flashing for convenience. Will update to file based flashing if I had time, but users wouldn't feel any difference.
DevDB Link
Important!! If you choose systemless root, please choose "Do not install SuperSU" when reboot in TWRP, because TWRP isn't updated to detect this new method. If you choose to install SuperSU within TWRP you'll get stuck in boot loop.
Root Info
Marshmallow root has been much more difficult than simply flash a zip in recovery, because it also requires a modified boot image to work. This root is achieved with SELinux enforced using Chainfire's method.
Chainfire gave us with two rooting methods include:
The traditional root in system, which breaks OTA functionality.
(It's more stable now)
New "systemless" approach, which means the root stuffs are only in DATA and BOOT, the system will stay intact and it will accept OTAs.
(Note that this method is still in beta stage according to CF)
If you are already on the stock rom and you want root, this is where you'd be interested with.
Choose your preferred root method above, and follow the correspond instructions below.
Instructions:
Traditional:
Flash m8-mm-su-boot.zip in attachment with TWRP
Flash SuperSU 2.52
Systemless:
Be sure you haven't used any other root method(like the traditional one above), if you've rooted with other methods, please re-flash your system back to pure stock
Flash m8-mm-su-boot-systemless.zip in attachment with TWRP
Download SuperSU-v2.56-20151030013730.zip in this thread, and flash it through TWRP
Important!! Please choose "Do not install SuperSU" when reboot in TWRP, because TWRP isn't updated to detect this new method. If you choose to install SuperSU within TWRP you'll get stuck in bootloop.
Disable S-ON System Write Protection
After you rooted, you might find out that your system partition is locked up, this is because of HTC's system write protection on S-ON devices, and here is a handy mod for you to bypass it. Original mod by flar2, I modified it to work on MM.
Instructions:
You have to use the traditional root method above to make this work!!
Flash m8-mm-wp_mod.zip in attachment
Sweep to Sleep module
A handy mod to turn of the screen by swiping the bottom of the screen. Original mod by flar2, I modified it to work on MM.
Instructions:
This will flash files to system, there is no point in using systemless method, but it should be OK
Flash m8-mm-s2s_mod.zip in attachment
FAQ
Q: After choosing full wipe, my contents in internal storage are all gone!!
A: No, it's not. It seems that Marshmallow treats my full wipe script differently. After each clean flash, it will move all previous files in /sdcard into /sdcard/0. You can just move them back to the proper locations. No big deal!
Q: I cannot install Busybox in system / I cannot use adaway !!
A: Flash wp_mod.
Q: I used systemless root and wanted to keep my system partition intact, how do I install Busybox?
A: Download Busybox Pro, type /su/bin as the installation path for busybox. You cannot do it using the free version, unfortunately.
Q: **** app cannot access external SDcard!!
A: Look at this explanation:
Since Kitkat (2 years ago man), we don't have direct external storage write permission. Google consider it insecure, so they implemented this feature. The reason why you can access external SDcard easily before is because most roms on XDA already contains a hack in /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml. You should not rely on this hack forever, please take a look below.
In lollipop and after, Google provided a much secure and better way to grant external storage access to third party apps, first of all take a look at this article for details:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/1...s-automatic-mediastore-and-improves-security/
So instead of using the old platform.xml hack in the old Kitkat days, adopt yourself with this new behavior of Android!! If a certain app cannot access SDcard, ASK THE DEVELOPER to add support for this API!!
Many apps already have support for this API. I'll take Titanium Backup for example, as lots of you cannot find the way to use it on externals SD. In Menu>>Preferences>>Backup Location, you can choose Document Provider on top of the detect button.
In the provider, open the menu on the top right corner and select "Show SDcard", then you'll see External Storage in the left side. Select external SDcard in the document provider and press the button on the bottom, the app will then be granted access to the whole external storage. You can then create a new folder in TiBack and select it as your backup location.
Other apps also follows the instructions above, you just have to manually set up the folder where the app can access, in the case which most of us would love to give access to the whole SDcard, I set the location to the root of external storage. Each app has independent permission, so you have to manually grant each app you wish to access external storage.
Q: I want OTA, what should I do?
A: Look at the following info
To accept OTA updates, you need the following:
Your MID should be 0P6B11000 or 0P6B12000
Your CID should be BS_US001 or BS_US002
You have to keep system partition untouched
You have to have stock recovery
So before anything, if you want to accept OTA, you have to change MID, CID, flash the stock firmware. The tricky part is the system partition and the recovery. The easiest way is when the OTA comes, flash the stock rom again without root, flash stock recovery through fastboot, then apply OTA. But if you like to go the hardcore way, here comes a tutorial:
fastboot flash systemless_boot.img
fastboot boot TWRP.img(so that you can use TWRP but you didn't actually flash it)
Flash systemless SuperSU
By doing so you can accept OTA at anytime.

whats the procedure to flash a firmware please?
I'm wondering if it's worth it. Version 23.201.2.en.us
I'm not sure, but here it is:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/12873062/Blur_Version.23.201.2.victara_verizon.verizon.en.US.zip
Is there a way to flash this onto a rooted phone? I unlocked my XT1096 a couple of months ago and installed Teamwin then flashed SuperSU.
I need some help on this too. I heard it's just a security update but it fails for me because I'm rooted and deleted a bunch of apps. Is there any way to take the OTA update?

To take the ota you have to reflash the full 5.1 firmware for verizon.
You can't have root nor a modified sytem for OTAs to work. So you need back all those apps you removed and get rid of root.

I've put together a debloated TWRP flashable version. It's here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66354183&postcount=1057
Please review the first post in that thread as the ROM is partially debloated and has SuperSU and Xposed pre-installed. GApps have been removed and you need to install your own. It is possible with the files posted to have a full stock install but you'll need the instructions from that thread to accomplish that.

Which of these files would I want to flash, if I'm running stock firmware (rooted with SuperSU flashed)? The update from Verizon is ~20 MB, but you have a 30MB modem firmware and 398K bootloader.

Ok, those files are for the stock based rom that I maintain. You need to read the first post in that thread to understand what it is. SuperSU and Xposed are preinstalled, GApps are removed and you have to install your own. If you want a full stock install, that is also possible with the files posted, it's all explained there.
The file sizes are different because the Verizon patch has some full files like gpt.bin and fsg.mbm but the rest is just small patches to apply to the exisiting files. The first thing the Verizon patch does is check that you have the correct original files and if not, it aborts; you can't apply the patch if you've modified system by installing SuperSU, etc. My patches have the gpt.bin update seperate for ease of putting the files together, the firmware has the fsg.mbm file from the Verizon patch and then the full modem partition from my phone after applying the patch instead of just the patch files. That way the patches can be applied no matter what is on your phone now but they are much larger files.

Thanks mikeoswego. I flashed the two smaller files you provided using TWRP. Are those the only 2 zip files I need? I didn't see anything specific to a kernel or anything.
I am on rooted stock rom where I deleted a bunch of apps I didn't want.

It turns out that when I flash the two .zip files, my Moto X still thinks there is a system update available. Is there something else I'm supposed to flash?

Thanks.. it doesn't seem like I can install just the update. I'd need to flash the whole ROM. Correct?

The two smaller zips are the bootloader and modem firmware, the rom and kernel are in the xt1096-5.1-23.32-25-5-2_1.zip file. You could extract the boot.img file from the zip and flash it with fastboot. If you want the full ROM and want to flash SuperSU yourself and remove whatever bloat yourself, then use xt1096-full-stock-23.32-25-5-2.img.7z file; you can flash the image file within that archive with current versions of fastboot. (Or, using 7zip, you could delete the system.img file from xt1096-5.1-23.32-25-5-2_1.zip then rename the .img file in xt1096-full-stock-23.32-25-5-2.img.7z to system.img and place it in xt1096-5.1-23.32-25-5-2_1.zip. Then you would TWRP flash that, it would update your kernel (boot.img) and install the system partition just as if you took the OTA on the stock system.) Like AGISCI said above, the only way to use the OTA directly is on an unmodified stock system.
Forgive me, I'm not really following you. I don't know what's in the OTA exactly. Is there anything in your post that I can flash that will update my system to the latest version without wiping everything and starting from scratch?

You must flash the full firmware like was mentioned earlier. It is impossible to do the update with a modified system.

I'm wondering if there is a way to not take the update. I keep getting a nag message about installing the update and I keep pushing reminder out to a new time.
A little background. I have a XT1096 (Verizon version) and unlocked the bootloader and rooted. I also nuked a bunch of bloatware so there is no way that a OTA update will install. I'm not sure that I really want to go back to stock and start over.
I flashed the system .img file and it just updated my system without wiping anything. Seems to be working fine, but I had to reflash SuperSU.

I found a way to not take the update. Use your favorite applications manager for root to freeze MotorolaOTA and the update won't be downloaded and you won't get messages about installing the update.
