Xperia Z Bootloop at SONY logo Urgent Assistance Required - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone,
Well, i was playing around on my XZ and i saw this cyber-shot cameramod for it( http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/themes-apps/mod-cyber-shot-xperia-z-zl-updated-13-t2221351 )
,in my stupidity i quickly downloaded it without reading much, flashed it using PhilZ and vola, instant bootloop.
As it turns out,that mod was meant for JB and im on .230 KK...Whoops
Could anyone with a Sony Stock .230 KITKAT ROM pull the following files from your phone and upload them somewhere for me.please please please(I'd just flash a new rom , but the sony KitKat ftf file is like 1GB and it'd take about a 3-4days for me to download it,stupid 238kbps 2G EDGE internet)
The Following are the files i need(from /system):
/app/SemcCameraUI.apk
/bin/MPQStrMgrTest
/bin/MPQunittest
/bin/MPQvideorendertestapp
/etc/media_profiles.xml
/lib/libcamera_fast_af.so
/lib/libcamera_metadata.so
/lib/libimagebank.so
/lib/libmpo.so
/lib/libnativebytearray.so
/lib/libstitchengine.so
If anyone could please provide those files,i can adb push them back into the phone and it should work!!(though a flashable zip would be even better!)
This should be a lesson for everyone...always make a damn backup.That nandroid can save your life(phone)!
Any help very very deeply appreciated!:laugh:

Before we begin, you must agree that I'll be not held responsible if anything goes wrong or your phone gets bricked or lightning strikes it while following this guide. You try this guide at your own risk. This guide has been personally built and tested by me on my own Xperia ZR phone and works great without any issues. Make sure you read the instructions very carefully before you start.
Hello people, this is a pre-rooted flashable zip file containing stock 4.3 rom of build number 10.4.B.0.569 built for Xperia ZR phone user's in INDIA.
This rom is rooted. Has no bugs except Sony's official 4.3 bugs. This rom is not modified in any way and nothing has been added or deleted. This is a pure stock rom with the additional privilege of Root access. CWM Recovery has not been added due to issues with offline charging.

2)Download the 4 files at the link below and when finished join the splitted files using the hjsplit software provided in the download link then Copy SuperSU_fix and C5502_4.3_Stock_INDIAN_Pre-Rooted.zip files to your SD Card.
3)Boot into recovery and first flash the C5502_4.3_Stock_INDIAN_Pre-Rooted.zip and then SuperSU_fix.

5)Flash C5502_10.4.B.0.569_Generic_IN.ftf file using FlashTool with "Exclude- System" marked in the checkbox before flashing it. (Do not forget to mark the exclude "System" before flashing via FlashTool otherwise it will overwrite the zip files we just flashed above)
6)Turn on the phone and Enjoy the INDIAN variant for our Xperia ZR phone.
Please Note:
# If anything goes wrong in the above steps, then flash the complete C5502_10.4.B.0.569_Generic_IN.ftf or the 4.1.2 ftf file using flashtool to boot into a fresh stock rom.
# Your data will be lost. So back it up.

He requested the Indian variant for C5503. But C5503 is not released in India as we do not have 4G yet.
Sony has only released the C5502 version of Xperia ZR.

So using this would lead to my recovery being lost, is that correct?

Yes. You will loose recovery because the zip file doesn't include any recovery. I removed it because if you install it, offline phone charging wont work. If you need recovery you can install it after booting into the rooted rom. Look for threads on xda for compatible 4.3 recovery for our Xperia ZR.
Thanks a lot dude
I will try this

Thank you for your work here. There is some hope for me yet :good:
I am worried about loss of warranty.
Will I lose BRAVIA engine and DRM keys?
What are the risks of not having recovery?

1. If you are are worried of warrenty, and if you are in locked bootloader, then you can flash back the stock ftf, so you will never loose your warrenty.
2. Only if you have unlocked your bootloader, the you will loose your Bravia Engine & DRM keys. If you need to unlock your bootloader & need to retain DRM keys means check this thread to backup. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292598
3. If you dont have recovery, you cannot flash files & ROMS, Also you can restore back you ROM if you modified you system files, Tweaked, uninstalled Apps or if you face any issue etc and so on....

2. I have not unlocked the bootloader and will not until the expiry of warranty. In our case of ZR with 4.3 ROM, it is a catch-22 situation. I willl not unlock until I have my DRM keys backed up but I cannot back up the keys until I have unlocked because there is no root method with a locked bootloader. (Except for this thread)
3. What we are doing here is flashing right? Do you mean flashing without computer like from within the phone itself? Or multiboot setups? In case something goes bad, can I get back to Sony original ROM without the recovery? I am sorry I could not understand your reply.
Please forgive me. I generally tend to get excited and go ahead and do something and then regret. This looks like the perfect thing for me and I do not want to risk it.
Buddy, seems like you're too new at this stuff. Please read the instructions on the first page very very carefully. Everything is described there in through details. Read it thrice and if you still got any doubts then post message me, I'll help you.
Cheers.

first backup your TA partition (that DRM you said), it's very important. not for now but for future in case something goes wrong with something else.(backing up do no harm)
what we are doing here is flashing a whole system folder through recovery, in case of having recovery you need to be rooted, in case of rooting as for locked bootloader only 4.2.2 ROMS can be easily rooted by vroot with locked bootloader or 4.1.2 with doomlord rooting method with locked bootloader.
after root then you need to install recovery, recovery can be installed with locked bootloader. (no need to flash kernel, however you can always flash a kernel with recovery if you're on unlocked bootloader)
then you need to flash rom through recovery, and flash some other thing relating to 4.3 with flashtool.

OK. I have developed some more understanding of this process now. Things are much more clearer :laugh:
Once I downgrade to 4.2.x or 4.1.x there are tools to root. THEN I can backup the TA partition. Then I can proceed.
Thanks.

GUIDES & FAQ
Make .ftf (Stock FW) yourself
1.0 | Download and set up XperiFirm, FlashTool.
2.0 | Start Xperifirm. Choose your phone and your cda. Download the firmware to desktop. Choose "unpack automatically".
3.0 | Start FlashTool.
3.1 | Select Tools -> Bundles -> Create
3.2 | Find the folder where you downloaded the firmware. Choose it.
3.3 | The fields "Device", "Branding", and "Version" is simply for the naming of the ftf. I usually fill these out.
3.4 | "No final verification" - I never check this one.
3.3 | Add all elements from the left list to the right.
3.4 | After this click "Create".
3.5 | When done, the ftf is located under ".../FlashTool/Firmwares".​
Make .zip (PreRooted) yourself
1.0 | Download the firmware you want to PreRoot (.ftf). Download latest PRFCreator, SuperSU and NUT Dual Recovery flashable for ZR
2.0 | Open PRFCreator.
2.1 | "FTF File" -> Load the firmware you want to Pre-Root. Has to be a FTF-file.
2.2 | "SuperSU Zip" -> Load the SuperSU Zip you downloaded from step 1.0
2.3 | "Recovery Zip" -> Load the flashable recovery you downloaded in step 1.0. "ZR-lockeddualrecoveryXXXXXX.flashable.zip".
2.4 | "Extra Zip" -> Here you don't need to add anything. This is only if you want to add more stuff to flash together with your Pre-Rooted firmware.
2.5 | "Include" -> My advice: Include all (Kernel, FOTAKernel, Modem, LTALabel. "Sign ZIP" is not needed, I never use it.
2.6 | Press "Create". The firmware will be made, and placed in the same folder as PRFCreator.exe. It will be named "flashable.zip".
3.0 | Flash it on your already rooted phone, which also already got a custom recovery installed (TWRP/CWM/PhilZ).​
F.A.Q
I have rooted 4.4.x firmware. If i flash pre-rooted on top, will I loose my data?
No, you won't
I can't access Mega, please upload it somewhere else!!
India is the only ones who can't access MEGA, am I right? I'll store your firmware at google drive instead
The firmware I want is not listed!!
Not all regions gets the newest firmware at the same time. If your CDA is not listed with newest firmware in XperiFirm, it's simply not available yet.
Can I root .283/ .292?
Yes you can <- Follow this guide
Can I deodex .283?
Yes you can <- Flash this on top of rooted .283, using a custom recovery.​
I have no earlier fw's than .283. , and Sony servers don't store firmwares this old anymore. If you got some mega links of firmwares i've not yet mirrored, i can include them in 1st post.
Enjoy! And a "thanks" is appreciated

1. Is the pre-rooted one supposed be flashed with Flashtool and that is it? What about Bootloader? (mine is locked)
Edit: flashed via Recovery I meant. Probably a full wipe is required.
2. Can the stock FTF be rooted with towelroot? (the last method I know about being the easiest)
Great Job - can't keep waiting
For C5502 Please
Hi, thanks for your hard work giving us this rom :good:, but, Can you please make the C5502 prerooted for 3G user? Thanks a lot :fingers-crossed:
Both files is now uploaded!
Should i do "Baltic Generic" aswell? How much street creds will i get for that?

1. You can flash if you already got NUTs dual recovery. You don't need unlocked bootloader AFAIK
2. Towelroot used and exploit which would be patched in build made later than may or something. So I don't think so.

Yes. A wipe is always smart though.
Two points:
- Xperia ZR is C5503 (LTE) and C5502 (3G)
- Does this .zip when flashed via recovery installs correctly NUT's dual recovery? In the original thread there is some controversy about the correct install of NUT's dual recovery:

1. Hah, sorry. Will change thread title. I actually only own a Z1 Compact, which is D5503.. Confusing. I originally made nordic ftf just for my little brothers ZR
2. I don't know. If these pre-rooted builds don't work; don't use them. I can make new ones if a fix is made.
Anyway, I take NO RISK for what you guys do with your phones!
I works well, give thanks for the time.

Not possibru. FTF has to be stock. If you want pre-rooted you have to make flashable zip, and use a custom recovery
My Xperia is not rooted, and i dont have recovery on phone. I create flashable file with PRFCreator, but a cannot use. How to convert on tft for flashtools ?

As I said its not possible. You must root the firmware you are on, then install custom recovery, then flash pre-rooted zip.
Does it work with locked bootloader? (I see kernel is flashed too)

Cleared cache, data and dalvik from TeamWin Recovery and flashed it.
After reboot dualrecovery isn't working. Everything else works as planned :good:
I'll install dualrecovery in some days or flash a ROM that includes it working via FlashTool.

Does anyone tried this on Tablet Z3 LTE already?
Not working
When i tried installing it don't install even though the bat file says it's successfully installed. i used an sgp621 pre-rooted rom created with PRF creator. Now I flashed it and I lost recovery. Any idea how would this work on stock kernel with root permissions?

I tried recreating the PRF (i mistakenly put the installer zip instead of flashable zip). However, i would just like to report that if i use the Windows installer zip, it just won't work though i have proper root and on stock kernel/ROM. SGP621_23.0.1.A.0.167 is the firmware. Now i made it worked by creating a flashable rom with your dual recovery on it.
Problem solved - I needed to update to the advanced kernel first.
There is a problem with the TWRP recovery - it is displaying in landscape mode while the device is booting in portrait one. So it doesn't fit the screen and it is not really functional so. Fix it please if possible. Thanks.
P.S. replaced with the file from Z3 phone and it works, but not in fullscreen.
Hi, I asked this already in the q&a but I'm not sure if anyone is keeping an eye on that section so please forgive me for asking in the main thread again:
Can anybody tell me if this recovery will work with cm12?
Thanks.

thanks a lot for your answer.
Is there any chance you could post the isolated TWRP img file?
This would allow me to install it in FOTA partition.

Actually, you can simply download and unpack the cpio file yourself. Beware: It is a cpio image and not a disk image.
@[NUT]
thanks again for answering so fast.
I just googled a little bit about how to converrt a cpio archive to a .img file, but that's definitely way over my head (if it's possible at all).
Running a windows machine doesn't seem to help, either.
So thank you very much for your advice, but before i f*** up everything I'll stay with crap cm recovery

Dear NUT,
pls take a look on postNr.10.I have the same problem,can you please fix it?
Thank you!!!
I am stock locked bootloader , which 1 should i choose in CMD??
1,2,3,4
Is it possible to use this with a locked bootloader AND restored DRM keys? I tried to restore DRM keys with advanced stock kernel... which isnt a kernel (im sure or pretty sure...) but TWRP recovery. And i ended up bricking my tablet. I ended up restoring to stock no drm keys no root yet. I couldnt use Xposed with the current methods of unlock, relock bootloader (using advanced kernel) because I couldnt access recovery. In short im asking is it possible to use this with DRM keys and Xposed under a locked botloader?

Any kind of kernel with recovery or a FOTA kernel replacement is actually a custom kernel solution. You CAN NOT restore DRM/TA when you're running a community kernel or even have something else flashed to the FOTA partition.
I am pretty sure you heard the bell ring, but don't know what rang it...
Restore TA (and with that DRM): flash sony stock kernel and restore the stock FOTA kernel, otherwise your device won't boot and be in a 'soft brick' state.

Where should one unpack it to make TWRP work? I really wish we could have it on CM12, since default CM recovery can't even automatically apply updates. Not even talking about working with exFAT :/
