Install 10.3.1.B.0.256 on Rotted SO-02E?
Has anyone figured out a way to install 10.3.1.B.0.256 on a rooted SO-02E yet?
I Rooted my Phone using EasyRootingToolkit_XPEIRAZ_SO-02E_v101, and would like to upgrade to 4.2.2 but the OTA install fails at about 15%
Thanks

Having a similar issue here.
Any ideas?
Has anyone tried using DooMLoRD_Easy-Rooting-Toolkit_v18_perf-event-exploit.zip from this thread? Since it's possible to root 10.1.D.0.343 I would try upgrading to 10.3.1.B.0.256 first, then install 10.1.D.0.343 kernel using Flashtool, then root using DooMLoRD_Easy-Rooting-Toolkit_v18_perf-event-exploit.zip then install the new 10.3.1.B.0.256 kernel. I would create a 10.3.1.B.0.256.ftf and test it but I'm on a business trip in Australia at the moment and don't have the time.
Does any knowledgeable person have any update on this situation?
Any tips of what we Docomo users should do? I don't want to lose my root. And other users point out updating outright doesn't work anyway.
I'll pay a beer to whomever helps us Docomo sheep out

Have you looked at the DooMLoRD_Easy-Rooting-Toolkit_v18_perf-event-exploit.zip thread? The same procedure should apply since you can root 10.1.D.0.343's kernel.
1. Upgrade to 10.3.1.B.0.256 (you'll lose root at this point)
2. install 10.1.D.0.343's kernel
3. root using DooMLoRD_Easy-Rooting-Toolkit_v18_perf-event-exploit.zip
4. install 10.3.1.B.0.256 kernel
5. profit!!!

Thx, but my phone's bootloader is locked (as are all Docomo phones). I thought it was impossible to install a different kernel then. Not t mention that some people noted that the OTA upgade doesn't work if your pone is rooted. Haven't tried it myself though.
Losing root does not mean I lose CWM, right?
Edit: So I tried updating it, the update just stops after 2-3 minutes, the phone reboots and I get a message 'update failed, please try again'.

it'll still work with the SO-02E locked bootloader. I too am on SO-02E locked bootloader docomo and have tested this method using 10.3.1.A.2.67. After installing 10.3.1.B.0.256 you'll have to reinstall 10.1.D.0.343's kernel using Flashtool then just use rootkit to root it and finally reinstall 10.3.1.B.0.256's kernel using Flashtool.
I usually create my own .ftf files and use Flashtool to upgrade. I can't test it since I'm in Australia at the moment but it should work as long as you have 10.1.D.0.343's kernel installed....just don't forget to reinstall 10.3.1.B.0.256 afterwards. You'll lose CMW/TWRP so you'll have to reinstall it afterwards.
I've been trying to do the OTA update. But it keeps failing. I was pretty confident with my old Galaxy Note, flashing new roms and kernels almost every day, but I can't seem to get the hang of fooling around with my Xperia Z. I'm really afraid of losing my NFC-Felica functions, I need them daily for my commute.
I think the update fails because of my root. I could reflash an original ROM, but then I will loose root and recovery if I understand it correctly. The update will probably work, but can I reflash 434 then to root it? (434 was Android 4.1.2 and the new firmware is 4.2.2).
I'm kinda confused (and very stupid apparently .
SO-02E 10.3.1.B.0.256 can be rooted

The issue I am running into is that I cannot make the OTA Update (Step 1)work with or without losing the root.
If I could get to that point I'm pretty sure I could follow the procedure to to reroot the device, I just need to get the initial upgrade taken care of.
Any Thoughts?
Thanks

I had exactly the same problem, impossible to remove the root correctly to make the OTA work. In the end I just used flashtool to put stock 434 back on the phone. The OTA worked perfectly after that. Especially now that you can root 256 it's a non issue. Make a backup with Titanium backup of your apps on your SD card before restoring it. You can use it to put all your apps back after you root 256. A bit annoying, but all in all it's the easiest way I've found.
Thanks
That worked. Thanks to everyone for all your help.
after rooting .256.. is it possible to install a custom rrecovery and a custom rom?

How do you know? KK 4.4 is stock but just Rooted + Recovery.
1- Reboot your phone and when the Green Led appear Hold Volume Down to enter in TWRP.
2- Test if you have Root. Download ES3 Root Explorer, grant it by SuperSU, Mount System to R/W, make a file in system folder.
Did you do that?

Stop this NOW! vroot is not a safe method to root, that sends your imei number to people in China never use that.
Also the [NUT] method ALREADY include root with XZDualRecovery stop wasting your time by rooting with another method that's useless.
That makes me nut that people came here and ask help when they only follow step they want instead the full process, no no and no!
So follow the FULL process and you won't have any problem.
It's ok

I was using App2sd script too but the things on Z1 are more complicated, thanx Google, so at the moment the only efficient method is to use Folder Mount.

As I said, nowhere is told that XZDualRecovery Root your phone and you did right, like many instructions saying. That the recovery grant Root I hear first time yestarday from QualQuek and gregbradley, just don't understand why every instruction say to root with different method if that is the quickest way. BTW, best method to Root, exept DualRecovery, the .534 FW is Bin4ry Method. Also IMEI lost was reported many times, but good you are fine, next time you know what you have to do, it's time learning.

Installation of XZDualRecovery on UNROOTED devices

So according to the list, flashing 534fw is supported for the root so that will root the phone.
If you follow exactly [NUT]'s method you'll have the latest fw rooted.
You'll never lost your IMEI by following the [NUT]'s method for the simply reason that you start by flashing a full stock 534fw, that's the way to recover the lost IMEI as well or using SUS if the flashing didn't work.

Probably because I used to recommend Bin4rys method until [NUT] implemented this into his Dual Recovery script.
Now I recommend doing it by dual recovery because using bin4rys method is obsolete now and is an extra step that is not needed.
@eclyptos, there is no two ways about it, advising rooting by bin4ry then installing dual recovery is overkill and not needed, again, its all about learning what these individual processes do to your phone and not what the end product is...
You could recommend leaving it on charge for 24 hours before each step to make sure its at least 50% charged. It does not mean its a wrong instruction, just that's its not needed.
Ok,Ok.

Sure you can
9.2.A.1.210 is better because it's the last.
If you flash with Flashtool you can't root, because there's not a direct method yet.
The only way to keep root, is flashing a pre-rooted 9.2.A.1.210 via recovery.
FTF files for Flashtool are in General section, instead ZIP files for recovery are in Development section.
Good luck

1) Install recovery
Download here: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23269279319202175
Take your phone, go to settings, developer options, turn on and select USB debugging.
Connect the phone to PC now.
Unpack CWM4XperiaT_v8i_JB.zip
Run install.bat/install.sh
Follow the instructions, remember that your device is V, keep an eye on the display of the phone and give root permission when asked.
After the end of the process, enter into recovery like this: turn off the phone and turn on.
Immediately, try one of this combination:
Press repeatedly (not holding) power button until the phone vibrates
OR
Tap repeatedly the screen
2) Once you're in recovery, make a BACKUP.
So if something will go wrong or simply if you want to go back to 4.1.2 because you don't like 4.3, you will be able to return to the present situation just resuming this backup.
3) Install .210
Remember that you will lose all your data and apps. Instead what is inside internal memory and SD card is SAFE (backup included)
Download and install Flashtool
Download THIS and move it into the directory C:/Flashtool/firmwares
Download .210 zip file HERE and copy it into the internal memory of your phone.
Turn off and go into recovery.
Make a wipe data/factory reset.
Then install zip from sd card, choose zip from sd card, select .210 zip file.
When it's done, select POWER OFF (be careful, DO NOT select reboot).
Open Flashtool, click on the lightning symbol ("flash device"), select "Flashmode" and click on "OK"
Now select LT25_9.2.A.1.210_1268-6904_FIX4.3 and click on "Flash"
Wait for a window to pop up
Now take your phone, push the volume-down button, keep pushing and connect to your PC
Once the flashing process has started, release the volume rocker as soon as possible
NEVER disconnect the USB cable until it's finished!!!
Turn on and enjoy! :good:

1) If you want to keep root you must download LT25i.210_nor_deodex_root_philz_v1.zip that I linked above, since it's already rooted.
2) When you flash zip via recovery you don't touch the old kernel. You flash only the new system. After that, you need to flash the new kernel, so you need Flashtool with LT25_9.2.A.1.210_1268-6904_FIX4.3
3) When you switch from an Android version to another, a full wipe is always recommended. A partial wiping could give strange behaviours.
Therefore it's better a fresh installation of the app and then (when possible) a resume of the backup offered by the app: for example I'm quite sure that Whatsapp has a backup option within its settings. Use THAT option if possible with any app. Right?

Wipe cache is already included into factory reset.
Wipe dalvik cache is not mandatory in this case... do it if you want
Anyway all wipes will be repeated by Flashtool, so don't worry about that.
In Flashtool you have to change NOTHING, since yours is a brand new installation. Just flash.
works with lock bootloader ?

LOL... I'm not so noob.
Yes my method is for locked bootloader.
Unlocked bootloaders have to flash another kind of kernel.
The kernel you're installing is the original one.
And no, you can't unlock an Xperia V through Flashtool. It's impossible at the moment.
The only way to unlock is getting a code through Sony site!!!
This rule is valid for all 2012 devices onwards.
You're too anxious

Unlocking is mandatory for new Xperia that can't be rooted directly, because they are too new and they've been released with 4.3 or 4.4
We don't have this problem because we have 4.1.2 that is easy rootable, so we can install recovery and do everything we want

This is for locked. Stop asking. Don't worry.
I did this million times with locked bootloader.
During the process does your phone ask for root permission? Do you tap on yes?

Hi all,
I have a c6903 Z1 currently on Kitkat 4.4.2 (after an OTA update I really wish I'd never done) and I want to root it so I can install the SD card permission fix - can't put up with not being able to write to external SD, it's infuriating. If I can fix that, I can probably put up with KitKat.
If I'm still not happy with that then I want to go back to 4.3
Having read a lot, and I mean pages, and pages, about it, and having to downgrade, I've picked up that I would have to use NUT's .534 ftf to avoid losing the IMEI, and then I was going to root with vRoot.
Does anyone know, does that install Superuser or will I need the Superuser zip too?
At that point I want to then install recovery, so I'm looking at NUT's Z1 Locked Dual Recovery.
I rekon that should all be fine.
To get it back on KitKat I should then put the 757 zip on my SD card and flash in recovery, reboot and flash the stripped ftf with Flashtool, along with the recovery again.
If I still don't like it, I could then just repeat the above, but with the .136 zip and stripped ftf.
Am I thinking right here?
The only thing that's a bit worrying is that, for example, the .136 update thread says to come from .290.
Is this so, do I have to install that first, or can I go straight from the newly rooted .534 directly?
Sorry if this has been answered before, but my eyes are killing me staring at this screen now.
The only other thing I'm thinking is to just not root, and simply flash a Jelly Bean full ftf.
I'd rather have root and recovery though.
Thanks,
Mick.
wow, you didn't read much
DO NOT USE VROOT, IT SEND YOUR IMEI TO AN IP ADDRESS IN CHINA.
To get root on 757, just follow the step sin my signature
No need to use any root methods or unlock the bootloader
3 steps, 5 minutes work max.... a bit longer if you have slow download speeds

Just wasn't looking in the right places, so it seems.There is an awful lot of info on here though, and one link leads to another, however very informative reading.
Thank you so much for your help, don't mean to be a pain, and I do appreciate it.
All you guys do an amazing job.
Will it make any difference if I use the Z1 locked recovery instead of the XZ one, or should I just use the XZ anyway? Does it matter?

download the file for the Z1 from [NUT]s page since that one is for this phone.
the XZ is for the xperia Z and that is a different phone. It is always advisable to download and flash things that are deigned/made for the phone you have, not another phone....
u don't need to install the 290 version first, get nut's 534 stock, then install dualrecovery and go straight with the 136 one.
Check nut's instructions or use this youtube video which is foolprove.

I am not sure if we got our wires crossed before.
the XZDR installer will install dual recovery on your phone from PC
the Z1 flashable file will upgrade to the latest version from recovery itself, but will only work on a Z1.

Oh, right, well, I've downloaded this installer -> Z1-lockeddualrecovery2.7.123-BETA from NUT's site.
I'll flash NUT's .534 ftf with flashtool first, then I'll run the installer from my lappy, and that should root and install the recovery.
I have also downloaded the Z1-lockeddualrecovery2.7.123-BETA.flashable - I assume that's what I need to flash after flashing another ROM if it doesn't include it's own recovery.
I have noticed some ROMS have earlier version recoveries, like .80, built in. Can I still flash the .123 on to of those with no issues? I have read there had been some issues with flashing over older recoveries.
Has anyone figured out why the IMEI was being lost? Was it due to the baseband
I've already got the drivers installed, in fact I successfully flashed back to .136 just to try it (last flashing I did was on my Arc S, so been a while) last night as I just couldn't be bothered with KitKat anymore.
Thanks again,
Mick.

If the installation was successfully then it doesn't matter. The older one working well. In the case you want flash the newets one then you have to wipe your phone with a stock FTF.

kind of, but don't worry, you will have your IMEI back after upgrade again.
I can open a topic for this question, but i'll just ask it here to prevent extra spam etc hehe.
If i get to a 757 rooted firmware using these methods, and i want to go to a non rooted firmware like 769 if it comes out. Will that be just a matter of reflasing the tft that belongs to that firmware using flashtool, or do i have to make more steps?
Thanks for answering!

When 769 will be out then NUT will have Pre-Rooted FTF like the 757, so you will have just to repeat the same steps. If you will want go to 769 Stock then 1 step will be required, flash it via Flashtool.
I want to remind you also that we do not predict future so we don't know what Google will do to they future Firmwares so the steps can be less or more, nobody know it.
Just one more thing, sorry to be a pain.
I'm happy with the process, flash NUT's. 534 ftf, then run the recovery installer to get root and recovery.
I don't want to install a custom rom right now.
I either want to end up on 4.3 with root and recovery, or 4.4.2, root, recovery, and the SD card fix.
If I use the zip and stripped ftf files from NUT's download page, I'll still retain root access, is that right?
Then just reflash the recovery zip before rebooting, and job done?
I've had no issues with the stock .136 firmware I've currently downgraded to other than the NFC icon not appearing when active. Something I've gathered can be fixed by editing the build.prop, but doesn't bother me anyway.

No, the Recovery will still there from the first installation, it will not be wiped. After installing zip and strippied files, you will be able to boot into recovery.

Yes, I had the same problem, there's lots of info on here. There's hundreds of pages to read and it can get confusing.
I'll assume your phone hasn't been messed with. i.e. The bootloader is locked, and it's not rooted, and that you're using a Windows PC.
If you have changed your phone, let us know.
Make sure you have USB debugging turned on in your Developer Options, and Unknown sources in the Security settings.
To enable Developer Options in your settings, go to Settings, About phone, and keep taping Build number until it says 'You are now a Developer'
You'll need to download the latest version of Flashtool from here --> http://www.flashtool.net/download.php
You'll need to install the drivers for your phone too. The driver installer is in the flashtool/drivers folder.
Ok, so this is what I've gathered so far :
This is the link to the steps, thanks to gregbradley --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52407809&postcount=2
If you follow those, you'll end up with a rooted phone with whatever stock based rom you fancy.
Now the following are my thoughts, and what I've learned so far, but I'm not an expert.
My advice would be read more, and make sure you feel comfortable with what you are going to do, before you do it.
If you are unsure about anything, ask.
You'll need to use Flashtool to flash your phone.
The second post here,from DoomLord, shows how to connect your phone in flash mode --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2440565 - Basically turn the phone off, then press volume down and connect to the PC via USB when Flashtool tells you to.
I downloaded the .534 ftf from NUT's download page which is here --> http://nut.xperia-files.com/
I downloaded this file --> http://nut.xperia-files.com/?dlid=QzY5MDNfMTQuMS5HLjEuNTM0X1tOVVRdLmZ0Zi50b3JyZW50
You have to download that with your torrent program.
If you don't know how to do that, I've uploaded the ftf to my cloud storage.
You can direct download the .534 ftf here --> https://mega.co.nz/#!mgwkAagR!6_iTB3LwVkGz6yvSaKQsEVPtyaIPq3BJGFCk1EDw9XQ
Place the .534 ftf in the c:/flashtool/firmwares folder
Make sure your phone is fully charged, and back up anything you want keeping, as flashing will wipe your phone.
Now run Flashtool, click the Flash icon (top left) and select the .534 ftf.Flashing the .534 ftf that NUT provided will prevent loss of IMEI.
Don't mess with any settings, and click Flash, and follow the instructions on screen.
That will return your phone to stock 14.1.G.1.534
Download the Z1 Locked Dual Recovery Installer from NUT's page --> http://nut.xperia-files.com/?dlid=WjEtbG9ja2VkZHVhbHJlY292ZXJ5Mi43LjEyMy1CRVRBLmZsYXNoYWJsZS56aXA=
Connect your phone to your PC and run the install.
That will root your phone, and install recovery.
From there you can then install whatever stock based ROM you want.
If you want your phone on KitKat 4.4.2, rooted, with recovery, then download the .757 files from NUT's download page.
You'd need the flashable zip --> http://nut.xperia-files.com/?dlid=QzY5MDNfMTQuMy5BLjAuNzU3LmZsYXNoYWJsZS56aXAudG9ycmVudA==

Flash that zip from recovery.
The stripped part --> http://nut.xperia-files.com/?dlid=QzY5MDNfMTQuMy5BLjAuNzU3X1N0cmlwcGVkLmZ0Zg==
Flash that from Flashtool
That should be it.
Unless your bootloader is unlocked, do not try to flash anything other than stock based roms as it won't work, and will brick your phone.
Hope that helps :good:

Bootloader is unlocked I have flashed firmware before but not rooted.
My main reason for wanting to root was to get rid of apps I dont want like the google ones.
Do you already have a recovery installed?
If not, installing the Z1 locked dual recovery will also root your phone. Just make sure USB debugging is turned on, plug your phone in normally, and click install.
As per my post above, I've just flashed NUT's .534 ftf, booted up, then ran the recovery installer, and it's working well.
I can boot into recovery, and have already done a nandroid backup. Best to do that before anything else.
All I have to do now is choose a rom and flash it.
In all honesty, if your bootloader is unlocked, I'd probably flash a custom kernel which has recovery and root already. I don't know much about flashing with unlocked bootloaders as I don't intend to unlock mine just yet.
Did you backup your TA partition before unlocking?

Thank you for this guide. I really really appreciate it.
1. Wanted to know if it's not a problem to downgrade directly from 4.4.2 to 4.1/4.2?
2. No special things required to do? Just back up user data?
3. Use androxyde flashtool and use any region 4.1/4.2?
Just wanted to really make sure before i try doing this. Since i bought the phone recently and kitkat is just killing me with sdcard restrictions.

What you really need is right ftf file for your phone region isn't the problem and yes there is nothing special required to downgrade from any version to any version as far as ftf file is correct and is for correct device. You are good to go :good::good:
You can try root your zr kit kat use Towelroot. Some of the z and zr owners managed to get root even in lock bootloader. I already tested on my zr JB 4.3. Lockbootloader. Work flawlessly.

You did nothing wrong. Link2SD or alike won't work on 4.2 and up . If you need to move apps to the SDCard you'll have to use FolderMount. You can move up to 3 data folders with the free version and it works great especially if you have apps with big data folders (like games). However, if you need to move more than 3 data folders, you'll have to get the Premium version.
Good going.

Our friend here is right. These apps were made for gingerbread mainly, and alas they don't work on JB+. So what you need to do is understand more about folder mount before starting to use it. Learn more about it before making your move.
Silly question perhaps i don't know about. I'm on a stock ROM, rooted, still locked bootloader, and I cannot enter stock recovery. How do i possibly do that? I used the power+volup, power+voldwn, used root power options to boot recovery but I cannot.
Any information should help.
Thanks guys.

There is no recovery in stock.
Install one for XZR. @sijav has nice working dual recovery on the forum here for XZR, I personally use that as it doesn't require us to unlock bootloader. Here you can find it :- Dual Recovery
Press thanks if I helped
