OTA Update AND root - Xperia Z4/Z3+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
i've got a rooted ivy with unlocked bootloader. Now the phone shows me that there is an update.
Can i update without any fear?
Or do i have to root the new kernel like i did with the old one (i only have rooted kernel with drm-fix, ric disabled an TWRP)

Hi Streetrayzer:
I just try to update my phone but got an error, however I unroot my z3+ and try again with the same result, finally y flash the last firmware 32.2.A.0.253 it's nice, but i don't have root again do you find some kernel to root in this firmware? thank you!

I've found a solution in the Z5 forum, will try it a soon as possible....

By the way, i've seen that Trilliard uses the old .244 kernel in his SuperSlimRom v1.2.

[STOCK] LT30p Stock+Rooted 9.1.A.0.489 flashable in CWM

I know TiMiN8R made a Stock Rooted Deodexed rom for everyone but some people asked for just a Stock rom that wasn't deodexed so that's what I have made here. This is a stock firmware with only root added. Please note the kernel and CWM are not packed into this rom (though the reboot fix is) Please read the note at the bottom regarding bootloop issues.
Here you go: http://d-h.st/tAn
Installation for Unlocked Bootloader
* Make a backup - Always backup just in case you ****up (Data backed up through Sony's Backup & Restore app can be restored without issue)
* Flash any kernel you want to use that has built in recovery.
* Enter recovery
* Factory reset
* Flash rom.
Installation for Locked Bootloader
* Make a backup - Always backup just in case you ****up (Data backed up through Sony's Backup & Restore app can be restored without issue)
* Use flashtool to flash any generic ftf that can be rooted using Bin4ry's method. If you are already on a LT30 ICS/JB firmware that is rooted you can ignore this step.
* Root using Bin4ry's method.
* Install CWM for Xperia T Locked bootloaders
* Enter recovery, factory reset and flash the ROM.
* Flash the stock ftf (same version as the rom used ftf available in my signature) in Flashtool but uncheck Wipe Data, Wipe Cache, Wipe app Log. Also exclude everything except for Kernel. (This is needed to update the Kernel to the latest stock version otherwise you may get a bootloop.)
**Keep LTE**
If you have a LT30at or LT30a and would like LTE with the LT30p rom then once you have flashed the above go back into Flashtool and flash the latest LT30at or LT30a ftf. UNCHECK Wipe Data, Wipe Cache, Wipe app Log, and exclude everything EXCEPT for baseband. This should put LTE support back on the phone but keep the LT30p system.
*If you started on a rooted LT30at or LT30a firmware and flashed this rom straight from that you do not have to reflash the baseband as it is not overwritten by this rom.
You will need to reinstall CWM after flashing this rom if you want it. CWM is not baked into this rom.
**NOTE**
If going from ICS to JB you will get a bootloop after flashing and rebooting phone. Hold the power and Volume up button until the phone vibrates three times (simulated pulling of battery for non-removable batteries). You can then flash the JB kernel through flashtools to fix the bootloop.
You can also flash kernel from cwm.
http://d-h.st/wye
It's just a stock kernel with no cwm. It's especially for locked bootloader but unlocked bootloaders can use it as well.
Just use that link and you will find it

Thanks a lot, was waiting for that !
Edit : I already flashed TiMiN8R Deodexed JB ROM, so I'll be fine if I only flash your rom over it, Right ?

Hello Spectre51.
So, if I flash this ROM, it will use the Kernel I used to get into Recovery?
I'm coming from HTC devices, so Sony is new to me...
I would prefer to keep the stock kernel for now. In EMMA I do not see the option only to flash a kernel? I see the ICS stock .195 rom and then the JB Alpha build. Is that the .489 version?
I'm currently on the .489... Like the ROM but only need root on it.
Thx,
j
Download flashtool from the dev section. You can flash kernel s using that

Deodexed or Odexed
I flashed your rom last night. Flased overon TiMi8R. Still, I have a lingering question. Is Odexed faster than Deodexed?

5 second google search
http://www.redmondpie.com/odexed-vs-deodexed-the-difference-between-the-two-android-roms-explained/
Basically deodexed roms are easier to modify. Odexed roms boot up quicker (On first boot only)

There is some warnings at the end of the post about bootloop if you move from ICS. Have you read it. Perhaps you need to flash a JB kernel to solve it.
Hi, any chance to get the same flashable .140 zip ? Tried OTA update to keep root but it didn't install...

Hi, thanks for the offert, don't waist your time I already updated it and the root methode with screen display still works on this firmware.
Sony released open source zip for XT fw number .141 did you heard about ? Country specific or little bug fix ?

[STOCK][UBL] Android 4.3 Long Winded Rooting Guide

Hello guys, i have been playing around with the new offical 4.3 rom, I have found a little way for now to get rooted, take a look below...
***Disclaimer, I am not responsible if you blow up your phone, loose data, or do anything silly, I am merely trying to help, and point people in the right direction***​
Okay it's a long winded approach to get rooted, but i guess it will have to do for the time being... Until a new updated rooting tool is available.
Here we go then , you will need these things:
SuperSU Install zip
Doomkernel v08 kernel.elf file
Stock Sony 4.3 kernel, attached to this post.
UBL (Unlocked Boot Loader!)
A brain and common sense.
Lets go then, first install the stock android 4.3 FTF....
Once this is done disconnect your phone, put it into fastboot mode and install the Doomkernel. Now upon boot, go into recovery, and install the SuperSU zip normally.
Once this is done, power off your phone (Holding down the power and volume up)
Go into Fastboot mode again, and install the provided stock Sony 4.3 Kernel.
Unplug your phone, boot it, and there you go, rooted stock android 4.3.
If you have any questions ask, no question is too stupid, or PM me and i'll help you best I can.
Reserved for more information, FaQ ETC...
I guess its only for unlocked bootloaders, because after flashing custom kernel on locked BL xperia, it won't boot.

No this method is only for Unlocked bootloader.
V7 should work just fine, all we are after is the recovery to flash the SuperSU
Thanks a lot it's working
Never did before on sony and the biggest problem for me was entering in recovery, so just in case, to enter recovery, when LED is pink press {vol up for 2012 models} or {vol down for 2011 models}

I can have root with that? With locked bootloader?
HELP ME!
HELP ME!
I tried this method on my Xperia V. I flashed the kernel then accidentally booted into android. Soft bricked. So I flashed back Sony kernel.
Working now but now there is something wrong with the screen.
I'm not sure what's wrong but it looks like the gamma is too high. I'll post a picture.

[Request] Flashable Rooted 4.3 for Locked Bootloader

So here's my request
If it's not much of a trouble, whoever managed to root their locked bootloader 4.3 and with experiences in making flashable zip can you guys like make a rooted 4.3 and make it available to flash it from 4.1.2? Later after flashing if needed, flash the 266 kernel through flashtool
Pure stock 4.3 from CE region would be nice (and deodexed as a bonus)
I don't know if this is possible tho
If it's not then tell me. I'll remove this thread immediately as it can cause annoyance :silly:
Patience guys the update has just rolled out. Let the developers work and give them some time!

You mean PuReStOcKdEoDeXeD 4.3 v2 rom? I've seen it but I just wanted a pure stock rom from CE. Nothing changed. Just rooted with an updated SU and deodexed. Nothing more. He changed the build number to 'PuReStOcKdEoDeXeD'. Not that it's wrong and dipesh1502 had done a great job. It's just me. It just that doesn't feel right
Or do you mean other rom I didn't notice?
Oh and not to mention jancsessz method didn't work for me. Think I did something wrong :silly: the SU ask me to re-root it and pretty busy so I don't have time to do it all over again. If someone just make one that'll be great :good:

rooting FW 133

hey, am not aNOOB but am xperia NOOB
rooting sony phones looking to be harder than sammy's!
any ways, there are suggestions to root FW 133 by flashing a rootable firmware then root after that flashing!
does it lag? or get heated by this process? or is there any better ways to root?

Rooting an Xperia phone has never been as easy as now. I recommend using Easyroot Tool in Cross Development Section. I rooted my phone in 2 minutes and then installed dual recovery. Rooting itself doesn't cause any lag or heat issues, it depends on the Rom you install. Anyway it's very easy and as for Roms I'm using iHackers 4.1

It does if you flash the .108 kernel, then root, then flash the 133 kernel back.

reflash your rom or push a 6.o kernel to your phone and flash it.
before you make anymore mods to your phone, you want to make a backup within twrp recovery, in case you end up like this. then you can always restore it.

well, im not on 6.0.1, im on 6.0, and i flashed a kernel yesterday without flashing supersu, and i still have root. in theory, on 6.0.1, it should still be the same, as your supersu doesnt get removed when you flash another kernel. but, im not perfect, so i guess i could be wrong when it comes to 6.0.1 :angel:
