but what about your BRAVIA2/DRM keys???
I thought once you unlock BL it formats the TA partition...?

Ah I give up I'll wait until some easy options.... what I got was you cant backup your TA without root----> You cant root without your BL unlocked ( firmware .253 for now), you will lose BA2 and Drm if you unlock your bootloader.... So the question still rolls how to root your Z tablet with Firmware .253 without unlocking BL ?

maybe because the tablet is still very new, theres not many out there that people have their hands on..
might be best to wait until its been released world wide and a lot more of this is on demand?

perhaps.. does anyone has say .344 or earlier... firmware? I can make my firmware's back up first and then downgrade and then root it, do TA backup for future's sake, and then unlock the bootloader

From what I read, TA needs to be backed up before any BL unlock. once its unlocked the TA partition is gone for good along with the keys...no way of ever getting it back

I was playing around with 4.3 last night and found a solution
- Flash the .67 firmware via flashtool
- Root 4.2 as you would have
- Backup the TA partition and Unlock your bootloader to relock the boot loader and avoid losing any DRM keys later
- Using flashtool flash the new firmware .569 (4.3)
- Then flash Doomlords advanced stock kernel
- Boot 4.3 and power down
- Using the recovery installed with the kernel flash a superSU.zip from somewhere around here.
- Reboot and you now should have root
- Reflash ONLY the .569 kernel from the FTF
- Power on and Restore your TA partition to relock your boot loader and return everything back to normal with root

You can't backup the TA after you unlock the bootloader!
It's the unlocking that kills the DRM keys.

Hi, i'm facing problem that i didn't make any backup of TA Partition. since unlocking the bootloader lost the bravia engine, is there any way for me to get it back (the bravia engine)? i noticed that the bravia still work for youtube's video, but not for picture.

Totally agree with kingvortex
Do you think there is way to root 4.3 on locked boot loader without sticky thread or at least thread on the top list ?
No way right now to root 4.3 locked and when it will be found you will find a lot of propaganda & at least sticky thread for this in The Developer section .
So please Keep Calm and wait..

I don't get it ... so you are saying that you unlocked your unlockable bootloader? And you managed to root the latest update? That would be cool! But if I am not mistaken there's absolutely no way of unlocking a bootloader that is not allowed to be unlocked by the device. Anyways that would be cool if the devs give us this nice gift! But then again I am unaware that you can unlock the 4.3 as yet.

[Q] Howto gain root with Linux?

Hi,
I'm looking forward to getting my Z1 tomorrow, and being used to having root on my device (ever since I jailbroke my iPhone 3GS) I'd like to get it here as well.
After a bit of reading I got the impression it's rather difficult compared to my previous phone - at least when I'm not having access to a windows computer.
So far I found that Flashtool will be able to unlock my bootloader - but will that be enough to flash SuperSU.zip in order to gain root?
Or is there some other way I overlooked so far? Please help an Xperia noob to make the first steps safely
I appreciate all advice, links, ...

Unlocking your bootloader alone then thats a no,
next you need to flash a custom kernel that contains a recovery
(sony xperias dont have a recovery partition)
once that is done use the recovery menu to flash a superuser or superSu zip
then you are rooted,
take note that custom kernels can only be flashed with a unlocked bootloader (UBL For short)
and also note that there are tools to root but depend on exploits and firmware version
This method of rooting is garenteed because this method doesnt depend on fw version or avaliblw exploits
some misc info
Flashable zips simply execute a script when flashed (often copying files (superuser or supersu copy the app and the SU binary to your system)
yes you need flashtool (not Emma not from sony either)
if you want me to guide you through then just reply

Hi,
great to hear, and thank you for that warm welcome to help me become familiar with the device
OK, so Flashtool needs to detect the device, then I can use it to unlock the device. I noticed DooMkernel to be rather extensive in its features, so I think I'll give that one a go.
Does unlocking the bootloader void guarantee? Or flashing a custom kernel or ROM?
What the heck is Emma?

Yes any sort of modifying will void your garentee or warrenty
and yes
download flashtool (i think links can be found on Doomlords posts)
plug in your Device
click on Bootloader unlock
and folow what it tells you
(to get your iemi code you can type *#06#* in the dialer or go to settings then about then status (it may be there)
and emma is Sony's useless flashtool (to me and you)
(you want the flashtool devloped by bin4ry , doomlord and someone else (cant spell their name)
also side note
i recomend DoomKernel,
DoomLord is a master in Xperia Devices and is very good at coding, his kernels are allways the safest to run
also some other notes make sure his kernel fw version is the same as on your z1 and also make sure that the drivers are installed for your z1
googling can help you here

i knew i was forgetting something
For OP
notes:
TA partition contains DRM keys
bravia engine and x-reality depend on your (unique) drm keys
also if your not on 4.3 it will break your camera (if you unlock your bootloader)
you can relock and restore your drm keys if you back them up

[Q] Xperia ZR (Rooting and Boot screen) for noobs?

Hi guys. I have recently signed up here and am currently a XDA and Android noob. But i do have some experience of rooting. (I often watch one of my relative root and do stuff with odin but only for Samsung). I currently own a SONY Xperia ZR C5502. It has android 4.4.4 KitKat.
And i have no idea how to root it or load it's boot screen. I'm trying to install CyanogenMod or an android lollipop ROM to it.
If anyone is kind enough to give me some advice or help I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks
Ahmed

Hi Hardwelling, Welcome to ZR Forums
i was a samsung user one day so i know what you feel now
For Sony Devices, to flash ".ftf" ROMs, flash kernels..etc , you should use Flashtool
It's the same as ODIN.
First
For Rooting your device you've several ways :
1. Root the device without unlocking bootloader (you'll not be able to flash any other ROM not based on Sony Stock one)
2. Root the device with unlocking the bootlader. (you'll lose your DRM Keys , however there are ways to Back them up, search xda for further information about DRM keys)
for both of them, you may search in the forums and you'll get a lot of methods (towelroot, Pre-rooted ROMS..etc)
Second
Installing Custom Recovery.. you may find plenty of them here, but i suggest the best one NUT's Dual Recovery,it works for both Locked Bootloaders and Unlocked Bootloaders.. Here you'll find all recoveries for Xperia Devices, make sure to choose the one beginning with "ZR", and go the "Installer" way, much faster
Third
Flashing custom ROM, it depends on what you have [LB] or [UB]..
Locked Bootloader Devices can't run CyanogenMod or AOSP ROMs..etc, as it only allow Sony signed kernels.
Unlocked Bootloader Devices allow you to run any kind of ROMS even Stock ones, but you'll lose some features of the Stock one as you lose your DRM keys
For myself.. i'm running Rooted LB Stock 4.4.4, and previously i was using this ROM

Use Flashtool to unlock the bootloader using SONY's official way..go to sony website and follow the steps there
Install the NUT's dual recovery using the installer..
Flash the pre rooted AOSP build :thumbup:

I would not recommend this approach as you will lose your drm keys.
Just follow one off many rooting guides wich you find on this forum.
After that take a backup of your TA partition with TA-Backup tool wich also can be found in this forum.
After this you can safely unlock the bootloader.

it would already help to have a temporary root to be able to save the TA partition. With a TA backup you could unlock the bootloader, install the AndoPlusKernel build and flash a prerooted image and look (restore TA) the bootloader again

I found this link to towelroot. I do not know if it works (haven't tried it yet), but this might be a solution.
If it works one should be able to backup the TA partition with TA-Backup if this still works for recent devices.

I guess until Nougat is released there will be no news. Maybe then there is some sort of exploit.

As far as I know - if the device is unlocked you can't use OTA updates?
How do you upgrade your android version if there are no custom roms then? (like when nougat finally comes out for the f8131)

With Flashtool and / or Sony Companion it shouldn't be a problem.
