[Q] Problem in rooting 4.4.2 - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have an Xperia Z.Recently I flashed it with 4.4.2(still this update is not available in my place .so i downloaded the FTF file and flashed it).I am not very much impressed with the performance :crying: .First the lagging,next the battery drain caused by the google play services .Now I want to root my Z.Doomlord's method(http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/development/cwm-based-recovery-6-0-4-5-xperia-z-t2167381) requires us to unlock the bootloader.But I don't want to lose my BE2 again(I had previously lost it before 6 months by unlocking the BL).so i decided to backup my TA partition using this method(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292598).But this one also requires root.so plz suggest me an idea to root my device without losing the be2.

Good question you've made, i hope DoomLord will answer fast. I still afraid root my 4.4.2

Only method...
Flash stock. 67 firmware,root it,backup ta,...unlock BL,flash 4.4,follow doom steps

So the BL stays unlocked even after flashing an updated or downgraded version of android???

No need to unlock bootloader.
Just flash stock 67 firmware as mentioned, root it and get dualrecovery for it and then flash stock based 4.4.2 and Supersu fix with recovery, shut phone down from recovery and flash kernel for it. All this info in general and android dev section. I hope you understand what i meant.
Pardon my english.

U don't need to unlock ur bootloader mine is for example able to be unlock I choice not to because u gonna lose bravia engine 2 meaning pictures video etc won't look as good anymore. Anyway to answer ur other question u need a ftf 4.2.2 rom from a C6603 I would go European because u won't find an USA C6603 ftf. Don't worry they all have English. So ftf rom, flashing tool, dual recovery, doomlord easy root, that is the 4 tools u need. Well actually only 2 of u don't wanna root or have a recovery.

Just to add; you cannot unlock the bootloader on a C6606, so custom kernels etc are not an option for you. So, you will have to stick to stock based roms.

So, I can flash a ftf of 4.2.2 stock rom from C6603 on my C6606 by using flash tool? There are too many t-mobile apps installed in the system that I just never used them.
Yes u can and u will be basically bloatware free and u should be still able to delete a lot of the apps that still come on that C6603 roms. The only thing u gonna lose is t mobiles wifi calling option but other then that u have a much cleaner rom and with 4.2.2 there are even small enhancements. Oh and u need to reapply all the apn settings and lte settings again on ur phone after flashing a C6603 ftf

i tried to root my tmobile xperia z c6606 build # 10.1.1.B.0.166 and it just wont root. can anyone please help me. thanks
I got my phone last weekend and have been reading through the forums to get answers for questions as the come up. On the T-Mobile support forums I thought I read that they didn't release the 4.2 update because of issues that were present in the update. Someone there said they are going to release 4.3 and skip the 4.2 all together. Would European versions of stock software carry the same bugs for 4.2? I don't even know what the problems/bugs are.
I'm mainly interested in rooting the phone so I can get titanium back up running, greenify, and disable the bloatware. I'm rather fine with the stock Sony firmware.

[Q] Flashable Roms for T-Mobile Xperia Z

So far I haven't seen a whole lot on this just that CM doesn't work right now. Does that mean roms like Paranoid Android and PAC Man won't work either??
Which type of roms will work?
Can anyone list a few of the best ones? Mine's coming through UPS on Wednesday and I wanna be prepared to do everything right away. Thanks!
I assume you mean the C6606 (the T-Mobile US Z).
If so, you can only flash stock based roms.
The bootloader cannot be unlocked on the C6606. Locked bootloader means no custom kernels, which in turn means no roms like PA, CM, PAC etc will work.
So, to answer your question, any rom that says it's for locked bootloader should work.

Okay I've since rooted my phone and installed dual recovery. do I only have to flash that 15mb ftf file now? That's where I'm stuck at. The instructions in that forum didn't exactly work for me. Can you tell me everything you did please? Hopefully you can get back to me in the next ten hours thanks for your help
I'm opening flashtools. I click flash at the top, click flashmode, then I click that newest ftp and click flash. The window that says wait for flashtool pops up.I power off my phone..hold down the volume up button and enter the usb cable. The light turns blue and I believe that's fastboot mode but nothing happens. That window just stays open on my computer. It's ftf C6603_10.3.1A.0.244_GenericCE-stripped.ftf

Volume up is fastboot. You don't want to be in fastboot mode.
You need to hold volume down and plug the USB cable in to enter flashmode to use flashtool.

I have the T-Mobile Sony Xperia Z. First I rooted with doomlords method. Then I installed dual recovery. I made a backup of my phone and installed the newest ftf file using flashtools. Then right after I flashed the rom that was posted above. It's working great so far and you keep lte and wifi. Hope that helps. It really is the best rom available to us at the moment because of the locked bootloader.

i have been researching this. it doesnt seem like there is going to be anyone who can unlock the bootloader. but there might be another way around it kind of like "mini loader" basically we will be able to flash aosp roms and custom kernals just no unlocked bootloader. pretty much jump thru hoops to do anything with c6606 t-mobile has Royally F'ed us... i really want someone to unlock that bootloader n RUB IT IN THEIR FACE! i dont know why they bothered with this... but theres got to be a way around this.... keep on hoping and lets see what happens i guess...
My xperia z should be arriving in the mail soon so I have a few questions. Just to confirm can the dual recovery foound here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261606 be installed on the c6606? Also are there any custom roms based on the t-mobile firmware because I would like to keep wifi calling. Thanks.

He meant Wifi Calling, which is only available on T-Mobile firmware. He just put a period in the wrong place.
Bump...any new Roms where we don't lose wi-fi calling?
None that Ive seen. Only ROMs for locked BL that are coming out are based on firmware made for the international market (4.2.2), none on T-Mobile (4.1.1).
The locked BL is really disappointing. Really limits the possibilities. I bought the Z on impulse and didnt research the Development situation on the Tmobile version before i bought, now im regretting it. I love the hardware and design, but will likely be trading it in by Christmas because of the lack of options for custom ROMs. Samsungs may be ugly as hell but you can hack the hell out of them. If HTC makes a phablet with the design of the One, Ill probably make the switch.
Back on topic, which LB ROM is most recommended and bug free? Any way to fix the poor wifi signal? Its chewing my battery like nobody's business.

Really disappointed with no custom Roms too might trade for another phone but not going to samsuck. Still have faith in what the devs here can do though.

I was exactly in the same boat as you till a couple of days ago. Bell's official veriosn is still 4.1.2 if you can beleive it!!
So i went ahead and flashed the 4.3 journalists rom thats available here. Works amazing..smooth as butter and blazingly fast.
No point in waiting for upgrade to show up on your phone. You'll be lucky to get 4.3 by middle of next year from Bell!! they're pathetic when it comes to sony upgrades..

Ftf files are original firmwares.
Can be flashed to unlocked or locked boot loaders.
Locked loaders only prevents to flash 3th party kernels.

I loaded the update and lost my root access. Trying to find an updated root process now that will work with the 10.4.C.0.814 version. Very frustrating that I can't simply post in the thread for the previous version of root to ask for an update.
TMo? An update? What android version?
If you want root you will have to go back to 4.2.2 and root it again then flash a pre rooted stock based ROM.
Usually an update kills root.

It's not an Android update. It's updates to some of the Sony applications and I think some UI tweaks. According to T-Mobile, Sony has not released an update to the phone beyond 4.2.2. Ha.
I researched it after the question. Its apparently 4.3 as said in other sources. TMo cant document did their life.

On the Sony website they say that the build number and the jellybean are updated to 4.3 instead of the 4.2.2.

Flash the ROM in the recovery console, such as TWRP then flash the kernel with FlashTool. Many of the threads in the dev section do a good job of quickly running through the steps.
I used NUT's 4.4.2 pre-rooted ROM.

Just keep stock rom without root, and wait for OTA
Edit: If you want the update and dont wait for OTA just flash 4.4.2 Tmobile version and download the OTA (Tmobile version too).
Then install recovery twrp and root your phone using the twrp.
I did that !!!! Now I've 4.4.3 rooted

If you have root...Im 95% sure that you can't receive/install OTA. I've 2 moto x...... The first one updated via OTA and the second one updated via "manual" OTA. My 2 moto x is unlocked bootloader with no root.
I rooted my 2 moto x after the 4.4.3 update [emoji6] You know........ No risk.

Right !!! You need..... NO root and stock recovery. [emoji106]. The bootloader locked/unlocked doesn't matter [emoji6]
