"Guide" root the ZR C5502 from its stock 4.4.4 - Sony Xperia ZR

Hi everyone....
I've created this thread asking for help ... but as my issue is solved, I'd like to share the glory with u ..
The ZR root after the automatic update to 4.4.4 is really tricky ...
this is how i got this minutes ago ..
First of all ….
1- install the ADB-Drivers … There is no ZR drivers,,, so install all the Z drivers to make sure…
U will find a file called "Flashtool drivers" ... the first download in this page ...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/general/guide-how-to-root-10-5-1-0-283-t2872873
2- download the kernels from the post 35#:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-zr/general/guide-how-to-root-10-5-1-0-283-t2873841/page4
put it in the folder "Firmware" in ur flashtool folder..
3- Enable the USB-Debugging from the developers options (by clicking the Build-Number many times) so u will have the developers options..
4- connect the device in “Flashmode” by connecting the cable to it while holding the Vol down .
5- run the Flashtool. install the kernel 230.tft using the “Flashmode” without changing anything…
After this ,,, restart ur ZR and root it using “Towelroot” from its website …. Wi-Fi will not work. it is ok....
6- Done? check root (using root checker from the google play) if it is ok turn ur ZR off …
7- connect it again in “Flashmode” and install the kernel 283.tft ….
finished ? restart and everything will work perfect … thanks to the great developers of XDA ..

Use PC companion or SUES to restore the original firmware back then re-root your phone and install your chosen ROM and boom you're back.

After re-rooting your phone you can once again install GingerDX.. Just don't mess with settings you're not sure of
PC companion not work cuz i cant boot my phone =( im stuck in sony ericson, and where i can find SUES? ty
SEUS is no longer available... you have to plug your phone into the computer, remove the battery, on PC companion it will say "Repair this phone" in small lettering, click that then with your phone connected to the computer via USB hold the back button and put your battery in, this will put your phone into Flash mode and allow PC companion to repair your phone
i love you dude, thank you, i will not mess up again with that XD, btw i have a year using this website is awesome, i was trying to learn more about Xrecovery and CWM ty!!
What do you mean you have a gear using this website?
CWM and Xrecovery can be dangerous..
No problem!
haha my bad, "year", btw PC companion cant find a software to install, right now im talking to Sony ericson.
i think cuz i have other baseband =S
Hmm, I had this problem, just yesterday infact, I still had access to recovery though... I'm not sure what you should do, I think SE will tell you to send the phone back to them to be honest..
yea my phone its dead, QQ, lets get iphone 5 this new year, ty Smyth12 anyways

There still is a way to fix the phone using PC companion, the baseband doesn't matter.. as far as I know, don't quote me on that... hmm.. When I think of something I will let you know
Guys, forget PC Companion (PCC) and Update Service (SEUS) ...
If your phone still gets to the Sony Ericsson Logo, or still shows some sign of life so you can be sure that the bootloader and kernel (STOCK Kernel - I don't know if this works with custom kernels as well) is still alive, restore your device this way:
Make sure you have a Java Runtime installed.
If you're on a 64-Bit Windows Edition you NEED to have the 32-Bit JRE installed!
Make sure you have the Android drivers installed
(should already be the case if you installed PC Companion / Update Service)
Download Flashtool 0.2.9.1
Extract it to C:\Flashtool
Download Android 2.1.1.C.0.0
Copy the "X8_2.1.1.C.0.0._un.ftf" you just downloaded INTO the "firmwares" folder inside the Flashtool directory.
Disconnect your phone from the computer and turn it OFF!
Now start the X10FlashTool.exe in C:\Flashtool
Plug the USB cable into JUST your phone (NOT into the computer!).
Click "Flash" in Flashtool and select X8_2.1.1.C.0.0._un.ftf you copied into the Firmwares folder.
In the next window don't do anything, just click "OK"
Flashtool will show you a window about what you have to do:
- PRESS and HOLD the BACK button of your phone.
- Connect the USB cable to your computer. Keep the button PRESSED!
- If Windows is nagging about installing drivers - let it do its job. Keep the button PRESSED!
- Once you see output happening in Flashtool's window you can release the back button of the phone.
Patiently wait until flashing finished.
Now, as Flashtool will tell you ... disconnect the phone and turn it on.
BE PATIENT - the first boot can take a few minutes.
Once the phone booted up ...
Enable "Unknown Sources" and "USB Debugging" in your phone's settings.
Connect the phone back to the computer.
Press "Root" and let Flashtool root the Droid.
A automatic reboot will follow!
Once the phone finished rebooting ...
Press "Ask root perm" and look at your phone. You will get a popup from Superuser to grant su permissions. Confirm the request!
Now click "xRecovery" to inject xRecovery into your phone.
Done ...
Now you can go ahead and install a xRecovery compatible ROM (i.e. FroyoPro).
Download the ZIP you want to flash and push it to your phone's SD card. Example:
adb push C:\Users\<your_username>\Downloads\FroyoPro-v1.1.zip /sdcard
(you need to input that command in a Command Prompt)
If you want GingerDX back on your phone ...
- Download GingerDX v013 and copy it onto your phone's SD card (i.e. by ADB)
- Download GingerDX v020 and copy it onto your phone's SD card (i.e. by ADB)
- From Flashtool make the phone to reboot into xRecovery.
- Flash GingerDX v013 in xRecovery.
- Reboot
- Keep tapping on the screen once the Sony Ericsson Logo appears to get into CWM.
- Flash GingerDX v020 in CWM.
- Full-Wipe ("Factory Reset")
- Reboot
I just revived my X8 a few hours ago by this way after a update flash went terribly wrong for reasons I'm not able to tell.
ty, and ive trying to fix it but nop, nothing.

Shut down your phone then press Volume down and power. Open the recovery mode and select adb sideload.

Then Try again adbsideload.

[Q] Help with root

Hi,
Just got my new ZR and it came with 10.3.1.A.0.244
I need to root, so I can restore my app's data from my old phone (Xperia SOLA) via Titanium.
I started by following this thread and doing as advised:
- install USB drivers (Z, A, fastboot and flashmode)
- change USB mode to MSC
- activate debug over USB
- install Flashtool (upgrade in my case)
- restart phone in flash mode
- use flashtool to flash XperiaZ_C660X_KernelOnly_10.3.A.0.423_Generic_NL.ftf
- flashtool says it succeeds, to remove cable and start phone
That's where it gets stuck! The phone doesn't wake up. I remove the battery, press the power button for a couple of seconds and it vibrates and ... nothing else. If I hook the phone into FlashTool, it says the phone is in flash mode.
I've tried flashing the XperiaZ_C660X_KernelOnly_10.3.1.A.0.244_BE.ftf, but nothing works.
I bring the phone back alive by using SUS, but I'm back where I started. I've done this 3 times, and redownloaded the FTF 2 times.
What am I doing wrong? I'm still on locked bootloader. The phone has less than 24 hours... hasn't seen water yet :cyclops:
Wanted to test a couple of things, before voiding my warranty!!
If anyone has any ideas/sugestions, I'd love to hear them!
Hajah
Dude, XZR is C550X, you're flashing C660X which is XZ's kernel...
Follow the instruction here for root in 4.1.2 -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2384590
If you're on 4.2, you can try follow here but it seems still buggy -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2387008
Hi,
I see now where I got mislead... (n00b)
As I see it, no valid method to get root on 4.2!
Can I flash 4.1.2 on my locked bootloader? And where do I find the correct ROM image for my C5503?
Thanks again!
------------
Found it! It was hiding behind a spoiler box in the 4.2 thread
Hajah, the C5503 n00b
try
try using doomlord rooting kit download it and connect your phone to your computer install driver if you want start doomlord press any key to continue it will automaticaly restart when it has finished
Yes, you can flash any firmware without unlocking your bootloader.
You can get all 4.1 and 4.2 stock ROM from different region in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2384512
You can try to root your 4.2 using the method, some reported to be successful.
did it work
did it work dude cause it works on all devices:fingers-crossed:
tam Esument
is there a quick and easy method to check if the bootloader is unlocked or not?
See this post.

[Q] How To Root Bell Sony Xperia T LT30a W/LB Using FW/9.2.A.0.295

To Whom It May Concern...
Yesterday, I updated my Bell Sony Xperia T LT30a W/LB using FW/9.2.A.0.295. This update removed my Root Access. I haven't been successful using Bin4ry v33 to restore my Root Access.
Please provide me with step by step instructions on how to ReRoot my subject phone/firmware. Currently I have very limited App access since I was using Link2SD and without Root almost all my Apps are missing
Appreciated...Rasher0123
currently the only way to have root on 4.3 is to downgrade to 4.1, then root, flash CWM for LB then upgrade with one of the packages in the development section that has root pre-installed.
If you have an UB then you need to unlock it and flash one of the stock kernels with CWM
4.3 vs 4.1
Matt...
Thanks for your response
I was rooted before I updated my firmware to 9.2.A.0.295. Did the firmware upgrade me from 4.1>4.3 as well because I thought I was 4.3 before?
Previously I was able to achieve root by using Bin4ry v31 however since I upgraded the firmware I've lost root access and Bin4ry v33 doesn't seem to be working to restore it, I have also tried DooMLoRD v18, Kingo Root & SuperOneClick.
Are you familiar with any of the above Bin4ry, DooMLoRD, Kingo Root & SuperOneClick?
I am an avid computer user however I don't understand some of the terms and abbreviations you provided below such as LB and UB as I am new to phone mods
Any further help you could provide or others could provide would be greatly appreciated...in the simplest of terms
Thanks...Rasher0123

Rasher0123, you would have been rooted on Jellybean 4.1.2 before. The Xperia T's have only recently officially got JB 4.3 with this 9.2.A.0.295 update that started to roll out last month.

LB = locked bootloader
UB = unlocked bootloader
As someone new to phone mods a good place to start is the All in One Thread that's at the top of this Q&A forum.
I managed to keep root with an Over-The-Air update from JB 4.1.2 (FW: 9.1.A.1.141) to JB 4.3 (FW: 9.2.A.1.199) following this thread, so you could give that a try. Whether you go by Matt's advise or follow the method in the thread I've linked, I believe downgrading to JB 4.1 using flashtool will wipe your settings so make sure to backup beforehand.
Flashmode
BarneyJ & Matt...
I am trying to use Sony Mobile Flasher by Androxyde and downgrade from 9.2.A.0.295 to 9.1.A.1.141 but after Preparing Files For Flashing I can't get past the Wait For Flashmode pop-up. I unplug my Sony Xperia T from the USB cable attached to my computer. I power off my Sony Xperia T. I then hold the volume down and immediately or a second or so later replug my Sony Xperia T to the USB cable attached to my computer however NOTHING happens. This is driving me nuts! I've been trying almost all day to no avail. Please help

You surely don't know what are good manners, so you don't even deserve a time that someone could spend on you.
My apologies if my comment appeared rude
I didn't intend for my comment to be rude, I honestly was just asking if I needed to know that. I am a new user to phone mods and have spent over the last 24hrs trying to overcome many roadblocks

Firsr of all don't use CWM v9 it has bugs, try v8.
Before you start terminal open Win Task manager and close all adb processes and try again.

Thanks for the advice of using CWM v8 instead of v9
I've been reading this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865245 but I'm very confused by 'Step 2.
Unzip the file you chose (cwmod_internal.zip OR cwmod_microsd.zip) to the root folder on the storage option of your choice.
So, for example, if the storage option you chose has the drive letter “F:” assigned to it when hooked up to your computer, you would want it to look something like this…
A folder located at “F:\recovery”
A file located at “F:\update.zip”;
Does that mean I unzip it to my phone directly? Any walkthrough you can provide would be greatly appreciated. I am so frustrated and confused, I haven't had anything go straightforward in this whole process that has taken me over 24hrs.

Just use the installer of v9 (with .bat file) and replace recovery.zip with older version.

Older versions can be found here.
And on the right side if page find link to download v8 installer (the first with mark v8), and unpack folder from zip.
Enable USB debugging on phone (developer options) and connect booted phone.
From unpacked folder run install.bat and Grant superuser access when prompt.
Boot Into Recovery?
I downloaded the file CWM4XperiaT_v8i_JB and installed it
https://www.dropbox.com/s/903lf9pzwfq8enz/CWM4XperiaT_v8i_JB.jpg
It appears to have worked but I don't know how to test it and I can't seem to boot into recovery. I've tried by having the phone disconnected from the computer, shutting down the phone and then once shut down holding the volume up button and pushing power. It just regular boots. I have also tried When SONY logo appears: On Xperia T/TL/TX press repeatedly (not holding) volume-down button until the phone vibrates. The phone does not vibrate and just regular boots. I've also tried a program from Google Play Store called Quick Boot which I selected Recovery within the program and the phone reboots but again just regular boots.
More suggestions please?

rooting problem ,i can't enter flashmode

hello guys i rooted my xperia z using fastboot tool and i had a problem with it ,when i connect it with the flash tool it connect but the usb debugging is off !!!!!!! , i turn it on but it doesn't work ! , when i try to put the stock framware 4.4.2 .it stops it 0%!!, i used root checker and i found that i doesn't have a proper root access.:crying:i had a backup with sony pc companion but it didn't help , ,also i try SuberSU it tills me that 'ther is no su binary installed and supersu can't install it !! please help me i don't know any thing about root
At first you should check towelroot thread. Its simplest way to get root.
But the flashtool should start from the beginning. close flashtool program, install drivers from \flashtool\drivers. kill all processes that use adb.exe (all instances of adb.exe, pc compagnion in task manager) and start over.
I suggest you check what condition is the usb cable. Once cheap cable was fault of brick my xperia S.
PS. You do not need to have enabled debugging for flashing.
