[Q] Is it already possible to create a pre-rooted flashable zip? - Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is it already possible to create a pre-rooted lollipop flashable zip?, though I would like to get 23.1.A.0.726 PH (philippines) region? What do I need to have in order to create one and flash it to my phone.

There is a complete tutorial in the general forum. Of course your region has to have this version released

I've actually looked in that section though I was never really clear (maybe it's just me),
I've already downloaded the version I wanted to pre root and turn into a flashable zip but I dont know which recovery to use..

Thanks mate! Though my problem right now, I just found out that without debloating it before flashing, it would have problems with google play and experience bootloop with xposed.

[ROM][TX][STOCK] 7.0.A.3.212_Rooted

Hello Guys...This is a stock rooted (CF SuperSU) with busybox rom for LT29i.
The Rom is pretty stock. Only modifications were to root and zipalign the rom. As there are not loads of stock roms in .zip for the TX i though i'd give it a go for those who want a stock rooted rom
Click Here to Download For Odexed ¦ Click here to Download for Deodexed
Installation Instuctions:
1) Downgrade to ealiest 1.307 Rom by flashing an FTF (Obivously backup anything first) through flashtool
2) Root using Bin4ry's method
3) Flash CWM for Locked Bootloader (am using a version 6.0..x.x)
4) Install Zip from SD Card my Rom you downloaded from CWM
5) Install Zip from SD Card a flashable version of CWM
6)Flash This after flashing rom otherwise your phone will keep rebooting if you try to edit system files (Thanks to Sharaz22 for this link and Leo for reporting the issue and solution)
7) Flash a 3.212 FTF through Flashtool again (exclude everthing except kernel). This will get you back to latest kernel
1.307 FTF, 3.212 FTF, bin4ry's root method and CWM installation can be found in Gregbradley's all in one thread in Q&A
For those already having root and CWM on an earlier version you need only start from step 4
Credits:
Thanks to Gregbradley for this precious help...this was my first time cooking :good:
Thanks to Dogsly for this 3.212 FTF from which this Rom was extracted
Thanks to all other persons who helped indirectly
Disclaimer
This goes without saying. I will not be responsible for a bricking, damage or explosions that may happen
I hope that you guys enjoy it...Hit thanks if you do
Well done, glad you finally got there with this and glad I could help
:laugh:

Hi,
I have stock 212 and unlocked bootloader and Advanced Stock Kernel V5 (from here, I thought that with installing that kernel I would have root on 212.. wrong).
Since I got already CWM, can I just flash your ROM or do I need to follow all the steps from OP?
Thanks!

[ROM][FTF][CWM]XPERIA Tablet Z Stock Firmware 10.1.C.0.370

Stock Firmware Files (FTF-File and CWM-flashable-ZIP-File) for ur XPERIA Tablet Z WiFi 32GB
I am not a Developer so everything u find here comes without warranty! I tested the FTF-File and had no problems on my SGP312! But this
wont mean it is the same for u ... Whatever u do with the files u find here, u do it at ur own risk! I am not responsible for any damages!!!
Here we go:
FTF-File to use with Flashtool
this is Stock Firmware 10.1.C.0.370 from Japan
i guess it makes no difference whether it is Japanese or somewhat else!
DOWNLOAD
CWM-Flashable-ZIP to use u need to read here
this file is slightly modified ... for lack of time it is same like this
maybe root works out of the box ... ef not flash this one to make sure root is correctly installed.
DOWNLOAD
Maybe root is not stable ... dont know ... i could not test the cwm-zip-file ... ef so pls tell me! i can upload another zip-file
contending a modified install-recovery.sh file! Maybe that helps!!!​

Thanx alot
I have a brand new xperia tablet Z jb FW10.1.C.0.370 model sgp311 16GB wifi with locked bootloader
Just to be sure before flashing this, how to do!
install flashtool and then flash this japense version off FW 370 and then i have root ??
+ exclude "partition"(because i got the 16gigs version) and "unknown" in flashtool
but what about my language then? if i OTA install my countrys version off 370 i´ll loose root again wont i?
Thanx a newbie
Nope!
As written FTF-file is stock... Atm u can't root fw370 straight away!
CWM Zip-file is modified ... already rooted... but with unlocked bootloader
u can root easily.
U gotta go back to fw344 root it and update Ota... for me root is
inconsistent then but read about working root in some cases
(I don't believe but some wrote it down so...)

Ok thanx
So if i unlock bootloader (i say yes) i can install cwm flashable zip from recovery+ superuser.zip, and then i have root?
whitout having to go back to fw344?
Or is it best to wait until binaries get updated with FW370?
:good:
is this a Japanese .370 version, or is it US one?

well i am going to wait ... i am back @ 344 and i will stay @ this fw until root hack is
more stable than nowadays ... but it depends on u ... i have read threads people love
cm10.1 on there XTZ ... and bravia engine 2 is a bit of a joke ... but i also read about
bravia engine as a really really good engine gettin the most beautiful colors out of XTZ.
So ... sorry ur choice ... but yes ur right ... that is the way it goes atm!

Sorry ... its Japanese too!!! Would be German or European but i needed to go back to

thanks, but i'll pass. Not installing foreign firmware in my US XTZ. I've heard there are differences and some apps/features arent the same. Will wait until someone makes flashable zip for US SGP312 version.
@c0llal0, do you encounter the reboot issue while modify the write/read in RE at FW 370? seems i did not meet this issue while at 344 but upgrade to 370(stay rooted), tried stop ric or ensure the etc/install-recovery.sh with 'system/bin/stop ric', not work. Please let me if u could have suggestion instead of back to 344
thanks!
Unlocking bootloader makes this bug disappear.
Carved in this thread with my RAZR HD
Can anyone provide the same firmware for US version of SGP312?
CWM zip don't work over a cm build.. I get cod 6 when I try to flash that..
I guess u need to flash doomlords stock kernel first.

you should put Japanese version in the topic, like everyone else does, who posts firmware files. Otherwise it confuses people and some migh unintentionally flash your update on a tablet from another country and lose all their local apps and settings

ROOT for 4.3?

Any root available for 4.3 that does not involve downgrade of firmware?
Like the 360 root or Vroot that i just "plug and play"
You will he aware when root is available but at the moment nothing along them lines for 4.3 is been done/confirmed working
Sent from my C6903 using Tapatalk
Think unlock recovery, install custom cwm, flash latest supersu should work though
also possibl when OTA updates starts popping up mybe updating OTA might keep root from .257 if you had it rooted...
but no one tried it yet, i'm waiting for OTA personally.
i tried with kingo... but a message say that want install mtk camera, maybe is the exploit for root.. but i stop the installation
lol... the new firmware has not even been out for a full day and people are already asking for various things... let the devs play with it a little.. geez....
What I know will be released soon a rooted firmware .290 Android 4.3. So stay tuned, when come out just update and done.
I've created rom for recovery with root and recovery, root works, but root file managers can't mount system for write but titanium works fine
Fully Rooted Firmware with Android 4.3 was released today!

No, it's not the root method as well. It's just a 4.3 zip and we flash it into the 4.2 (.257) kernel

That does not give full root, mounting system is still a problem that we are working on.

As has been mentioned in the comment above, when you update to .757 using [NUT]'s method the recovery is inside the flashable.zip. All you need to do is flash the flashable zip and the stripped FTF and you will get the newest recovery as well as the newest firmware.

Just go to the dual recovery thread in the cross device development section and update following the instructions. Then update to [NUT]s 757

There have been issues of people getting the .zip failing to flash from a lower version of the dual recovery, so it is wise to update that first.

[Q] Root on Vodafone ROM

Hi all!
Well my problem is the following: I would like to root my Xperia Z1 and have the latest KitKat Rom, nevertheless I like using Vodafone's stock Rom as it includes Vodafone Wallet app, which allows me to pay with my phone using NFC. The problem appears because it's not possible to use Vodafone Wallet app on a Rom which is not original from vodafone, but I don't find any .zip fle which includes a rooted version of vodafone's 14.4.A.0.118 rom.
My question is, could anyone make a zip of that rom which is already rooted, deodexed and so?
Tank you in advance, Axel.

Don't get it...
Why don't you root your, Vodafones firmwares?
Deodexing is very simple as well...
You have tool for it in cros section.
Flash ftf
Root it
Install recovery
Extract files with that deodexing tool to your PC
Deodex them
You'll get flashable zip
Flash that zip

As far as I know for rooting it is necessary to downgrade to .534, root it, install custom recovery, and install an already rooted zip drom it, isn't like that?

That's the tool I used and now my phone won't boot. Tried both, with and without zippaligning the apks
I am just testing it now.
I did flash a deodex.zip this morning to my Vodafone .118 FW that someone had uploaded and I ended up in a bootloop. It was a strange one as it was part way through the bootanimation when it rebooted.
Once I have made my patch I will test it and let you know.

There are some issues on some fw, yes.
Try to ask @Ben Ling what changes he did in scripts to avoid bootloop.
You'll have to change few lines, nothing complicated but I don't know which one...actually I can't remember.
You have my post on that thread
Try to fix those line and then try.
Or simply ask Ben to do that for you...
