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?

is it possible to flash a custom recovery and kernel in a docomo xperia z?
So guys first I appreciate any one gonna help me
I have Xperia z c6603 4.4.4 android
I wanted to root my phone and I tried in every possible way but every time it fails
So I found a solution
P.s I don't have Internet connection for my pc
1-install super su and don't open it
2-flash old kernel so you can root
3-root your device (( in this step I tried rooting by flashtool and it did work but in the log it says root done.. rebooting device.. So I waited for 3 minutes but my phone didn't restart so i did it manually))
4-flash your. 283 kernel
5- upgrade supersu binaries so root is done
In step 4 I didn't find supersu (( which I've installed before)) but I found superuser app instead and I can't upgrade binaries or unroot or any thing. This app is useless
So i want to delete it and full root my device because in flashtool it says my phone is rooted but when I install any app for rooted devices only it says my phone is not rooted
I think maybe if I flashed an official 4.4.4 rom every thing will be normal again but I have a question. If I flashed a rom does that mean that I will unlock bootloader cause I don't want to unlock so i don't lose my be2 and drm keys
And I can't do ta raw backup (( to save be2 and drm keys)) unless I root my device
Please help me and sorry for my bad english

thanks
I've solved the proplem
First I flashed the old kernel
Then rooted successfully by towelroot (( instead of flashtool ))
And finally flashed the . 283 kernel
But I need to know if I flashed a rom does that means unlocking bootloader?
Or is it can't be to flash rom without unlocking bootloader?

As long as it has a stock kernel you do not need to unlock your bootloader. Any aosp based rom will need an unlocked bootloader (cyanogenmod, omnirom etc)
I've done every thing and made a nandroid backup and installed existen z 3.0.0 rom and it works very well but i dont have mobile bravia engine 2 and i dont know if the bootloader is unlocked or not.. And thanks very much for your help i really appreciate it

You are mostly right
You need a to be rooted, I suggest you use the 23.0.A.2.93 firmware to do this (4.4.4 - kitkat)
Have a custom recovery (click links to go to the posts)
Then flash a pre-rooted lollipop firmware
Sadly in lollipop they fixed the SuperSU Survival mode so the only way to get root is to flash a pre-rooted firmware

You will loose root if you update through OTA or through computer
You will keep root if you flash a pre-rooted firmware after gaining root on KK

hello everyone,
until now I used several roms, like iHackers, CM, PA, slimkat etc and never lost root; today I updated to the newest stock rom, via sony emma, to see all the changes they've made and lost my root access.
is there any chance to get root again without the downgrading process again? I only did it once and this is a long time ago. I am not a highly advanced user but always curios to learn new things.
I really appreciate your help.
data:
lollipop 5.0.2
build: 14.5.A.0.270
xperia z1 c6903
germany
additional question: is xposed already working on lollipop? only had JB and KK so far

If your bootloader is unlocked, it's possible for you to root without going back to Kitkat. Just go to Xperia Z1 Android Development, and look for 270 kernel...
If it isn't unlocked, you have to go back to Kitkat and use any pre-rooted 270 ROM.
By the way, you posted in the wrong place.. You should post in Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting :laugh:
Good luck!

Sorry for posting in the wrong place.
Bootloader is unlocked with newest TA update. I will look for the kernel, thank you for replying.
As you unlocked your bootloader, you can gain root using two different methods:
You can search for an autoroot kernel for the 14.5.A.0.270 firmware as said above
or if you would like to not mess around, you can also just boot any kernel with recovery without flashing it using
Code:
fastboot boot boot.img
and then sideload the latest superSU zip via adb using
Code:
adb sideload sideload.zip
You can grab the latest superSU zip here
That's the way I personally like the best, as it keeps the stock kernel
Xposed works in parts as far as I know. The installation is still a quite experimental procedure and not all modules may work properly.
Regards, H.
I have xperia z1 which is rooted by kingo root but bootloader locked.
The problem is to unroot xperia z1 but the unable to do so. I tried the same kingo root to unroot but it can't. And I used other applications (don't remember) but in vain.
So, I decided to INSTALL STOCK ROM for xperia z1. I got links in xda forum for stock roms https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2469191https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2469191[/U]. but old roms were there. ( If any links to official stock roms, please post it)
Right now my build is 14..6.A.1.236 which was not there in it. I added the present config of xperia z1 at the end of this post.
I want my xperia z1 on stock rom in order to remove root ( because the banking related apps won't start. I know there is a way to hide root from installed apps using xposed modules but my Supersu app keeps showing binary is occupied. I came to know that in the process of unrooting using several procedures , root access is tampered on my device. I screwed it.)
And my bootloader is locked.
Please can anyone suggest a procedure to do so and please to do cite any links. It would be grateful of you guys
My xperia z1 config:
1. MODEL C6902
2.ANDROID 5.1.1
3.BASEBAND VER. 8974-AAAAANAZQ-10270086-81
4.BUILD NO. 14.6.A.1.236
Thanks guys for any response given.
