ROOT .244 Issue - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
My problem is this:
Following DooMLoRD's root procedure from here > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2386405
I have downloaded the kernel shown in the instructions, copied it into the firmwares folder, opened it and connected my Z
Trouble is that the flash process stops at exactly 23% each freaking time, when the log says writing data or smth.
Tried on Mac too, same result, I'm quite lost, HELP! ^_^

Pretty straight forward procedure.
Once on .244 firmware, flash. 423 kernel. Root it, and reflash .244 one.
Cheers

Sure but the issue is that flashtool is getting stuck when flashing the kernel for .423, it f*cks up and locks at 23% on both windows and mac.
I understood the procedure.
welp!

Have you tried re-download the files? Maybe it's corrupted.

Post your flashtools log and we will see what we can do, dude

I downloaded it OTA, but don't know where it's stored to make ftf. didn't install yet, afraid to lose the root.waiting for your new rom. good luck.
OTA updates usually come as ZIP files suitable for the phone's bootloader/recovery programs (and more often than not these updates only include patches, not the complete partition images). They aren't formatted like the updates downloaded via SUS or PCC and as such they might not be usable for FTF generation.

Hi, if you want to create a ftf file for the Xperia T Bell mobile version. Just follow this wonderful guide http://mytechencounters.wordpress.com/2012/06/12/how-to-create-an-ftf-file-of-your-xperia-ics-firmware/
Btw, your phone won't be wiped or reset when you follow this guide. Make sure you unplug your phone when it starts downloading the firmware. You will know what I am talking about once you read this guide. Thanks again :good::laugh:
hope someone uploads a rogers ftf, or even the blob file.

Update to 10.A1.434 failed

Hi all I recently tried updating the FW on my xz but when it restarted, it said that it failed to install. I tried to install it twice but failed both times.
The bootloader has not been unlocked. And the phone has been rooted.
Can I update using the pc companion?

You can't flash FTF files through recovery. Using the flash tool you can keep data and settings or you can wipe them if you wish.

Update .434
Hi
I have seen this update on the SOny website but my phone (C6603) will not recognise the update, I have tried PC companion and the web route and no luck. Can anyone advise or help to establish why I have not received the update OTA also?

Probably region specific. I saw a post about it last week regarding 434 being pushed to some devices. But I only got it today. Maybe just wait a few more days!

When i select the FTF provided in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2279661&highlight=ftf+original the "original FTF" after preparing the files in flashtool. it ask me to connet my device in flashmode. when i connect my device in flash mode it says "Connected device in Flashmode" after that nothing happens. im stuck at "Connected device in Flashmode"
Sorry for my Bad English
yes, my device can be detected. i try repairing using PC companion but no luck. i think because of the C6602 thing. i try the SEUS but it only say that im on the latest firmware. i can't repair it.

A quick question gm007, what flashtool number are you using? I downgraded to beta4 and the TA was NOT ticked. I have noticed a number of threads about updating to latest firmware peoples TA were pre-ticked?

yeah I just read that people using beta9 were having the problem, wish I knew that before I downgraded to 4 but that's ok I'm happily running .253.
gm007,
You're a life saver. For the best few days I've been unable to flash anything - just wouldn't work. Tried multiple machines, multiple versions of flashtool. Nothing. I thought my phone must've had issues but just tried what you said and BOOM it worked. I can't thank you enough!

Yes you can just flash with flashtool to downgrade and if you dont wipe anything,
your phone will be as before just with .434.
But for me the downgrade ended in a NFC update problem that causes the phone to reboot the whole time!
Therefore I am stuck at .253 without root!

To find things requires you to actually search, if you're too lazy to do that then read the stickys where you'll usually find them, but if you're too lazy to even do that, wait for a spoon feeder to come along and help, as they have done.

No. .434 didn't work at all for me, because you can't do anything because of the reboots at startup.
Therefore I flashed . 253 again but without root, because it's unable at the moment.

ADDITIONAL,
I also cannot create a backup for my rom in TWRP.. It fails when backing up system. but I checked the TWRP folder, it has files in it even the system. So is it really backed up and the message that says "FAILURE" is only a bug?

If you reffering to Update via PC Companion or OTA then, Right, you cannot do that, is not recommended as you will lose Root. ...but you can update to .761 Pre-Rooted by NUT, like you already did, same way, download files from HERE.
