Thank you, I know that.
The question was about how exactly did you get this file. After all, it is unique to SXV, and different from SXTX & SXT.

Thanks!

im sorry, but how do i flash this? I`ve just bought my first sony today..
I`ve installed championswimmer`s unsecure kernel.. so i couldnt update this with pc companion obviously..
though i cant get busybox or su installed due to some adb issues..

download flashtool, look in post seven in this thread and follow instructions, download this ftf, put ftf in flashtool firmware folder, use flashtool to flash it,try re install drivers, you can find those in flashtool driver folder, try to flash unsecure kernel and than su and busybox following instructions in kernel thread

But i already flashed unsecured kernel do I have to do it again after flashing this update?
I had some problems installing fastboot drivers, bit found a workaround here on xda. No matter what I do I can't get dba shell to work.really want to be fully rooted..
Thanks for your reply.

yes usually you must flash kernel again, kernel in ftf is not unsecured, it must be replaced, unsecured=root

Holy sh.. So with each update we have to flash kernel and phone is fully reset yet again?!

no, for now you can relock your bootloader and upgrade with pc companion, your data will be untouched, later there will be custom roms, when you have root you can always backup your data and apps with titanium and than restore, for now there is no recovery for v but it will be, in recovery you can make nandroid backup of whole system, what you need now is root and than titanium backup

but if i relock bootloader (how do i do that btw?) and upgrade using pc companion. then the kernel would be replaced and i would have to flash the unsecure kernel to obtain root? hence the phone will be fully reset again.

you got it wrong, flashing kernel does not reset you phone, normal update through pc companion does not it either,for relock: relock ftf attached, you need:
1 change extension from zip to ftf
2 earlier in this thread #5 is attached loader.sin for V, you need to change extension from zip to sin
3 replace loader.sin inside relock.ftf with the one for V
4 flash with flashtool
Thank Bin4ry for relock ftf

Root Guide For 4.2.2

All credit goes to @zhuhang. I have no contribution to it.
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.

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.

[Stock ROM][LB/UB][4.4] Pre-Rooted 10.5.A.0.230

Hello,
I have my ZR (5503) rooted with 4.4 the bootloader is locked. Since I am not a dev or something i want to test it first. I tell what i did if a dev want to know how i did it.
I had a ZR with 4.1/rooted/recovery on it.
I used a 10.5.A.0.530 NCB file for to start.
I followed this guide (thread) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2307311
Almost at the end you have to flash the created zip in recovery. After that i flashed the SuperSU_fix.zip and update-SuperSU-v1.86.zip (i dont know if it was needed).
Then i switch the mobile off and flash the FTF file (10.5.A.0.530NCB) with system excluded (flashtool).
After this i boot in 4.4 and then checked if i had root and it was. The recovery was lost but i managed to get it back with the ZRDUALRECOVERY
Now i go to do the proces again and make a tutorial and maybe put the files somewhere.
I am happy already,

Try to use the Remount reboot fix by nut
and use foldermount and check as this is the most important thing to me

copy kitkatzr5503.zip to your external memorycard.
unzip the su-binary fix and copy it to memorycard.
boot in recovery and wipe cache partition,wipe Dalvik cache and wipe Data/Factory reset.
flash the kitkatzr5503.zip and after that flash the su-binary fix.
DONT BOOT!
power off and get your phone in flashmode , flash the stipped 4.4 rom with flashtool.
reboot and you will have root, install zrdualrecovery again and then everything works.
for sure someone else can make a more nice way for to install it but this works. And if someone make a better tutorial let me know. Also i dont have experience with MEGA for file sharing. If there is a better way let me know.

[Q] Rooted But Can't Write To System Partition

Hi
I Rooted My Xperia Z1 C6903 4.4.2 build number 0.757 with easy root tool and towelroot and installed superSU. My Bootloader is locked and I don't have any recovery installed on my device. RootChecker stated that my device is rooted and i have an installed busybox but when i want to use MOD EDIT Mention of WAREZ is strictly forbidden It says that busybox not found and MOD EDIT mentions of WAREZ is strictly forbidden doesn't work. I don't have write access to system partition as well. I tried nextApp for fixing sd card access but it doesn't work because of system partition permission. How can i fix this? can you help me?
i don't want to loose my data, and i love my camera as well
Another Question is if i update my phone to 4.4.4 bulid 0.108 , can i root and have system partition write permission, as i can now update my device through Sony Update Center on my phone ? Can It harms my phone to update while it is rooted?
thanks for your helps
MOD EDIT
Further mention of WAREZ can and will lead to an infraction. Further instances will lead to a ban.
Any problems please pm me. @gregbradley

You forget to disable RIC protection service. Install recovery will disable it or just flash disable_ric file. Wait you don't have recovery........
Just flash full FTF of .108 via FlashTool, it's the easy way to update your ROM with minimal bug..... And yes, .108 is rootable....

MOD EDIT Removed quote about WAREZ @gregbradley
Kindly install busybox app from play store and open it once installed. U will find a option like "Install Busybox" just do it. It will install busybox on different path rather than it was been installed during rooting. (I can't remember exact path for both the conditions right now). I hope this will help you to resolve the issue of busybox not found.

Install recovery is the good thing. You can restore your device from any backup if something is wrong. You can install different mod like True stereo, sound mod, theme, etc and the good thing is you dont lost anything (except for UB..)
Yes, flash via FlashTool will wipe all of your data so make sure to backup it before doing any thing. And the camera is fine and they are always improve in the latest update (Faster camera start time, increase image quality...)
No, you cant flash disable_ric via FlashTool..C'mon FT is for FTF file, kernel and bootloader file only.....
