So are you now using this rooted 4.2.2? No more bootloop?
I haven't tried it yet as I'm out right now. But people at the other forum say that it's working and they have root access.

6. when you wrote "search for the previously downloaded file", do you mean I should install the .zip file from SD card?
9. How can you flash the recovery if you will not have root access? Or recovery can still be installed with out root?

for number 6, he means to flash the file you have downloaded on step 4. for number 9, you already have root access on that point given that you have followed all preceding instructions. The file you flashed on step 6 is the pre-rooted system partition of the 244 firmware, that is why on step 8 he indicated that you should not include flashing of the system part.
offtopic: now that there is a root method for xperia ZR, I will be buying it in the coming weeks. =))
Now it all seems to work fine so far. But what still hold me back is the pre-rooted zip file with the system partition from an unknown source. I always run custom ROM on my Android phones but usually they're from the developer directly. Flashing zip files downloaded from these Russian websites seem a bit risky. Anyone knows more about the source of it?

@akash4357 I took the liberty of adding a few more links and words to your description.
I also don't get the reboots I had on the .310 rom with SuperSU while deleting System apps using Titanium Backup.
request :/
can you guys make a flashable rooted zip of the 4.2.2 firmware please? i was deleting some bloatware and looks like i did something wrong and got a bootloop for some reason. Now i had to wipe data and everything, even the internal storage was formatted when wiping data!!! Reinstall the firmware and lost root, so ill have to do it all over again for the love of god, please!:crying:

The file zr244-system-supersu.zip is already a flashable zip of system partition with busybox, su and Superuser.apk. So you might find your missing files there or flash it for the whole system partition.

Thanks for the edit! You saved me some time.
Are you by any chance planning any ROM development for the ZR?
Just followed the instructions and upgraded to 4.2.2 with root. Data is preserved and so far everything seems fine. Finally see lockscreen widgets again!
is anyone able to get into recovery? pressing up or down during the green light doesnt do anything. the only way i can access recovery is to reflash it every time.
Hi all,
I just finally got my KitKat OTA update on Sprint, my bootloader is unlocked (with stock recovery) and I'm rooted. I tried updating and got an error while installing, do I have to be unrooted? If yes, it needs to be done via RSD, correct?
Please someone answer quickly, I'm waaaaay too excited :beer:

You have to be on stock recovery, I don't remember right now where you can get it, but I believe this thread can help you
I was rooted with cwm recovery and unlocked bootloader and managed to update last night. All I did was fastboot flash the stock 4.2 recovery, then stick the update zip from the sprint kitkat thread in my /sdcard folder, then go to settings, check for updates and it installed just fine.

I'm under the impression that you need to flash the stock firmware and recovery in order to get the OTA. I can't post links, but here is what I did to successfully get the OTA on my rooted, unlocked Sprint X:
1. Unroot via SuperSU.
2. Download your firmware from sbf droid developers.
3. Download the updated fastboot file that is linked in the 4.4 update Q&A/FAQ thread.
4. Place the new fastboot file in your platform-tools folder, and rename it so it doesn't get overwritten if you update the SDK.
5. Extract system.IMG, boot.IMG, and recovery.IMG from the firmware zip.
6. Fastboot flash recovery.IMG, then boot.IMG, then system.IMG.
7. Reboot and let sprint reinstall the stock app config.
You should then be able to take the OTA without losing any of your data. Steps may vary depending on whether or not your bootloader is unlocked/you used jcase's root methods instead of rooting via twrp or cwm.

If you didn't uninstall any of the stock apps, you may just need to flash the recovery. The aforementioned thread is located in the General section and is entitled [FAQ] for Kit kat and How to prepare for it (All Carriers). It contains more detailed instructions, a few more options for regaining a state that will take the OTA, and it's written by someone who appears to be much more knowledgeable than myself. If I were you, I'd take a look at that thread before trying anything.

PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS IS WHAT I DID, AND IT WORKED PERFECTLY FOR ME. I CAN'T FULLY GUARANTEE THAT IT'LL WORK FOR YOU THOUGH!!!
Step 1: Download TWRP Recovery for KitKat here and mfastboot from here and put them in the same folder
Step 3: Power off phone, and power on to bootloader (Vol Down + Power for a couple of seconds)
Step 4: Plug phone into PC and open CMD to folder where you have the files that you downloaded
Step 5: Type
Code:
mfastboot flash recovery twrp-2.6.3.1-ghost-4.4.img
Step 6: When it's done flashing boot into recovery (scroll with Vol Down and select with Vol Up)
Step 7: Once in TWRP click on Reboot -> System it'll notify you that you aren't rooted and ask if you want to root
Step 8: Profit... :laugh:

Thank you sir your process worked fantastically, not excited about reloading apps back up but i'm 4.4 so it's worth it Thanks again!
Edit, your bootloader must be unlocked to use this. If your bootloader is not already unlocked, unlocking it will wipe your data and this method is not recommended.
This is a modified factory image that will not erase your user data or custom recovery. This can be used even if you’re rooted and with modified system files, xposed framework, or custom recovery. Once installed you will lose root, just flash supersu in your custom recovery. Xposed should still be on your device so just go into the app and re-install it. For any modified system files, you will have to re-modify those.
This is intended for those on the stock rom, rooted, and with a custom recovery. It’ll work if you have a custom rom but will put the stock system on.
I am not responsible for anything you do to your device so flash at your own risk. Always backup before doing any significant changes to your device. I would recommend off your device in case something happens
.
To use, download the modified factory image here http://d-h.st/OEl Use 7-zip or winrar to extract the files.
Mirror https://mega.co.nz/#!EVQyiaSR!sUIKUSR40EQSbL2p6OaOZq2NBxrWs0opbc6IbgbGVvI
Supersu by chainfire can be found here, CWM / TWRP / MobileODIN installable ZIP: http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu
Boot into the bootloader. From a cmd window opened where the flash-all file is just type flash-all. You can use shift, right click on the hammerhead-ktu85m-Modified folder to open a command window in the correct folder.
You can also just double click on the flash-all.bat
This is tested on a windows machine; however it should work on a Mac too, flash the flash-all.sh.
Gonna give this a shot
So far, so good. I just flashed jd1639's modified factory image using the provided instructions. Please note, there is a bit of a pause during the process, in all, it took around 78 seconds to complete. My N5 now says Android is upgrading. I'm in ART mode, so this will take a while. I will edit this post once it is completely up and running.
Thanks jd1639!
UPDATE: Everything seems to work fine, however my signal levels are not reporting as high as they were with the .17 baseband on Sprint. So I guess I won't have LTE in my office at all!
Any chance of a zip file to flash from custom recovery

I suppose you just need to enter the recovery and flash it as an update.zip
I haven't tried it because I've already flashed the factory image.

- Just go to a recovery, select "apply update from ADB"
- install drivers for "Nexus 4" device (this can be tricky, on win8.1 you need to manually install it as Android Composite ADB Interface)
- try adb devices to check if you have connection with your device
- type adb sideload PATH/TO/1c6f10c34ed54fb29844906b2f041c900ba23a6b.signed-occam-LRX21T-from-KTU84P.1c6f10c3.zip
Please note that updating take a minimum of 30 minutes, so be patient and do not reboot your device even if you think it's stuck, you might soft-brick it.

I had to look this up so thought I'd share This is for Tmobile Versions
Example: G930TUVS8CRJ1 (5th # from right is 8, BL version - this is found in Settings>About Phone>Software Information>Baseband Version)
Which Oreo versions are safe (ver 4):
G930TUVU4CRI2 Oct 1, 2018
G930TUVU4CRF1 June 28, 2018
Not safe (ver 8):
G930TUVS8CRJ1 Oct 26, 2018 release date

BTW nice work as always Jr! Oh, & almost forgot ...your last comment saved my @zz!!! I wasn't aware of the ver 8 issue, and the fact that u can't downgrade!! DAMN Samsung!!!!! I was seriously about to try this latest update just to try & figure out RCS not working on CRF1 & randomly came across this! THANKS! (BTW if you know anything about RCS on s7 or services/apks needed for functionality on CRF1 please pm me!)
On another note, let's have a contest to see who can hold on to the S7 the longest as their primary phone
It works perfectly , I had no problem installing it. But I have a question:
Could I replace the SuperSu with the Magisk?
I am also in the Rom Project L S7 of Lanc-City: 3

Thanks for the effort and providing root for T-Mobile. Perhaps I am an unlucky person. By the time I discovered this thread, my phone was already updated to G930TUVS8CRJ1 version. I am wondering if there is any hope for V8 bootloader to root their phone in near future. Here is my humble request if you could provide root for V8 update. TIA.

Thank you. It worked fine on my nougat s7 flat with v4 bootloader. Now I have nougat root. I have a question if I may, Can I use tmp twrp to flash Oreo or one of your, or other roms? Or would I need to upgrade the kernel or something because I can flash Oreo being that I'm on Nougat. Thanks.

You have to update bootloaders and firmware as well so its better to update to oreo first

working fine.
update: gonna have to switch back to u firmware because even when i unroot the phone, certain games wont work or connect to server. i cant install magisk to bypass safetynet or hide magisk after installing so root isnt even seeming worth it on this device. might as well stick to the u firmware and disable the apps I dont need and disable ota update so that i dont get the v8 bootloader update. It was fun while it lasted.
