After releasing ROM update, there’s some people asking about DoCoMo ROM and how to flash ROM version 10.1.D.0.343 with root for locked bootloader. This won’t be a problem for people using custom kernel with recovery support as they can flash root in recovery. However, it’s impossible to get 10.1.D.0.343 rooted with locked bootloader through normal FlashTool methods so here I’m proposing solution for all Xperia Z DoCoMo lovers here.
This package contains three files. One for Flashtool file having system partition and wiping removed. Two for files in system partition of ROM version 10.1.D.0.343 having identical files removed. Three for optional wifi fix for people using DooMKernel as WiFi driver is different to ones in DoCoMo ROM.
Requirements:
1. Working Xperia Z having DoCoMo ROM version 10.1.D.0.333 flashed
2. Rooted
3. CWM/TWRP Recovery support
4. Latest FlashTool for Xperia Z
5. DoCoMo ROM version 10.1.D.0.333 Flashtool file in case you’re screwed up
Installations:
1. Copy xperia_z_docomo_10.1.D.0.343_update.zip to storage. If you’re using DooMKernel, copy xperia_z_docomo_doomlord_wifi_fix.zip as well
2. Shutdown and startup to Recovery menu
3. Flash copied files in 1) respectively.
4. Clear dalvik cache (not cache)
5. Turn off your phone
6. Open Flashtool and flash SO-02E_10.1.D.0.343_update.ftf file. Make sure to exclude baseband if you don’t use Japanese model and KERNEL/FOTA if you’re using DooMKernel.
7. Reboot. Now you should see phone starting up with ROM version 10.1.D.0.343 with root and recovery

Thank you so much!
Can you send me the latest version root for firmware .333 before I upgrade firmware .343?
And I don't use DooMKernel, can you send me the last compatible DooMKernel with my SO-02E firmware .333? How do I do with the new kernel?
I recommend flashing SuperSu v1.25 or newer after rooting. For kernel, just flash v06. It's from global ROM but I made wifi fix so that it can be used with DoCoMo now.

My bad. I made huge mistake forgetting to remove clearing system partition line in WiFi fix. Now it's fixed.
ZL?
does this one works on xperiaZL C6503?
i want docomo system coz im using docomo sim card. but my phone is rooted, chenged roms... lol pls help~~ ^^
My SO-02E is always stuck on the Sony logo after trying this update, I've already tried flashing the zip file with TWRP and CWM, not wiping cache and not excluding any file in Flashtool.
Hi,
I'm using the Japanese model (SO-02E from Docomo). My phone is already rooted and has TWRP recovery.
I just want to confirm that I do NOT exclude anything when using Flashtool, am I correct?

Me too, has anyone successfully got this working?
I did the following:
1. installed xperia_z_docomo_10.1.D.0.343_update.zip via TWRP
2. cleared the dalvik cache
3. flash SO-02E_10.1.D.0.343_update.ftf
All I get is a Sony logo
I have the 10.1.D.0.333.ftf and a nandroid backup so I can restore my backup
I think the xperia_z_docomo_10.1.D.0.343_update.zip is borked. I tried everything and it doesn't work
Yep, I've also tried using OTA Root Keeper but then the official update will have errors, so my SO-02E is stuck at 333.
Honestly there's really nothing from the Docomo ROM that I neither need nor use so I'll test out 10.1.1.A.1.253 explained from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2282415 sometime this weekend.
I already have my nandroid and Ti backups and the 10.1.D.0.333.ftf in case I want (or need) to revert back.
I can't really find info about it (or I completely failed to find the obvious :s)
I have a Docomo Xperia Z with (unfortunately) a locked bootloader.
It got updated to .343 by my docomo shop when I sent it in for repairs... And I lost root in the process.
Could I downgrade it back to .333 by using flashtool? So I can root it, and then upgrade it to .343 with this trick?
Or is that a bad idea with a Docomo phone? Wouldn't want to brick it.

You can easily downgrade back to .333 using flashtool, root it then do whatever.
Personally I'm using the eXistanZ V3 ROM on my docomo XZ :good:

check out my thread on how to upgrade to stock .343 w/root.
You'll have to downgrade back to .333 using flashtool, root it and install XZDualRecovery. From there just use my files and you'll be on a stock .343 w/root and XZDualRecovery. I've tested this on my SO-02E and it works. You won't lose any data and apps when upgrading.
hello fellow docomo so-02e users, for those of you that is using roms other than docomo ones, did you get your nfc to work?

Problem is when you unlock bootloader all data is whiped, and without root you cant make a backup like with titanium backup, so even if they find a root for unlocked bootloader you will loose all data...
So the best would be if they could find a root with locked bootloader, then you could backup all stuff then unlock bootloader

Nothing that would gain you root access.
The only ways to get root are:
* Preserving root from older installations.
* Install recovery and flash SuperSU zip (requires unlocked BL).
* Find an exploit for Android 4.3 that allows you to gain a root shell.
* Flash a custom FTF, not sure if that's possible on a locked BL.

It isn't, the FTF that gain root access have a kernel.sin with ro.secure=0 instead of ro.secure=1
Because the kernel has been changed it needs an unlocked bootloader to flash.
Its basically the same as installing a custom kernel.

You will have to wait, there is no perfect solution yet that allows system to be mounted.
It is being worked on, don't worry
I'm running iHackers rom with an unlocked bootloader, lost IMEI but not really a big deal. Willing to be a guinea pig if needed.

No easy method work for now. Only solution is downgrade to 4.1, root and flashing some rom based on .199 build. Or there is some script that should help you retain root with OTA upgrade, but you still need to downgrade to 4.1.

I would like to take advantage of your willingness to ask a few questions....
I have done a firmware backup using the SUS and Flashtool.
Bootloader is locked at this time on my V.
I would like to know if I can install cyanogenmod 11 and in the future I can back to previous original firmware "tft" using this Flashtool procedure ?
-how to install the newest Android 4.3 for Sony XPERIA V LT25
-paste the ftf file downloaded in step c) to folder „Firmware“ included in the XPERIA Flashtool.
-open the XPERIA Flashtool, click on flash and choose downloaded firmware, than click ok.
-turn off your phone and when Flashtool shows pop up window, connect phone to PC with holding volume down button
-after few minutes all is done and your phone gets the new firmware
Installing CM11 Xperia V is automatically rooted ?
Back to previous original xperia firmware, using flashtol, remains something of CyanogenMod ? Device returns unrooted ?
Thank You

First of all CM won't work with locked bootloader, and you can't install it using Flashtool. It contains Superuser app so it's rooted.
You can always flash your device with Flashtool using .ftf files to return it to stock firmware.
If you choose to unlock bootloder consider backing up TA partition of phone (there's a tool for that here but the phone has to be rooted http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292598) so you can restore your DRM keys later (if you return to stock firmware and you want to have Bravia engine and the rest of the stuff dependent on DRM).

I think no... becouse I don't make changes that affected device partition, is it correct ?

I think you lost it when you unlocked it cause TA partition got formated, it doesn't matter if you relock it afterwards.

Check if in the Album app if pictures change when using Bravia Engine; if you didn't back up your TA partition before unlocking, as far as I know, you lost your DRM keys forever, relocking won't change a thing.

CONFIRMED I lost DRM keys...
At this Point I decide to dance, I' ll downgrade to a version to root device by doomLord patch first. I found a post in which users explain how to install Bravia Engine 2 using PimpMyRom App. Finally I Will upgrade to Last Xperia firmware.... And I' ll do a big backup!!!
Are you according to me? You suggest to me something different?
I'd not worry much abt Bravia Engine. The pics appears slightly brighter, shadows are therefore a bit better, and the colours are a tiny whee little bit more vibrant. If I had to put it into a number the difference is somewhere below the 10 % mark %. You get better results by taking pictures properly in the first place.

You have to downgrade to 4.4.4 and root then flash a pre-rooted lollipop rom using recovery.
Can't we just flash a 4.4.4 kernel that recovery, flash SuperSU and then reflash the 5.0.2 kernel? Cause I'm seriously lazy to go back to.4.4.4

Do not do this ****. Flashing an android 4.4 kernel on android 5.0.2 system is the BEST WAY to brick your phone.
Remember, always flash KEBB (Kernel, Elabel, Bootbundle and Baseband), never kernel alone : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2574764
I recommand :
- Downgrade to Android 4.4.4
- Root and install XZDualRecovery
- Flash a pre-rooted Android 5.0.2 firmware
So I did this. Flashed 4.4.4 kernel with recovery. Flash SuperSU. Flash back 5.0.2 kernel from the ftf. Root doesn't seem to work. But it's there. Then I proceeded to use NUT's lockeddualrecovery installer using option 1 (rooted with SuperSU). It rebooted with root working. So yeah. That's how I rooted mt device

Remember, always flash KEBB (Kernel, Elabel, Bootbundle and Baseband), never kernel alone : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2574764
I recommand :
- Downgrade to Android 4.4.4
- Root and install XZDualRecovery
- Flash a pre-rooted Android 5.0.2 firmware

Maybe you mean DRM keys.
IMEI is impossible (or almost) to lose on a Z1...
And then, no, you won't lose your DRM keys unless you unlock the bootloader.
i have rooted my z1 with the help of custom kernel. flashed ihackers kernel with recovery and installed supersu 2.46 zip in twrp and reflashed stock lollipop kernel. root works fine using titanium backup without any problem.

If you both have flashed ftf and you do not have root then first install dual recovery by selecting option 3 which will install dual recovery. Then you can flash super su zip.oh and don't forget to enable USB debugging.

Yes i meant DRM keys*
My bootloader is unlocked, but i didn't lose them anyway
I went back to 4.4.4 then flashed a pre-rooted zip, now i have root access.
