i'm waiting too
downgrade + OTA survival ?
Did you try to downgrade, root, set OTA survival and reflash .253?
EDIT: Doesn't work.
As eager as you're to root, this is not the forum to post in. This is a development forum so please use the Q & A from next time.
If i update my 350 via ota to 434 and after to 253 i lose the root?

So from your perpsective, rooting methods and tools should be posted in Q&A ? Asking for a rooting tool in Q&A, no devs will ever see it.
You see, there are rules we need to follow. A development forum is where a developer or a contributor posts. Requests are entertained in the Q&A only. Also, if someone does manage to root the new firmware, it'll be up on the development forum. I have nothing against requests, just try to keep the forums organised.

A solution that works
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41517811#post41517811
Maybe OP can change title to SOLVED or better FW.253 ROOTED ?
The solution is not from me, so don't forget to thank the rightful users/devs who did it.
Here are direct links to the "guide" to make it work, until OP is updated:

Don't understand the fix reboot part
only create the file with notepad named "install-recovery.sh" and put it into the path in the flashable zip?

I'm after some help with my CPU settings. I'm running stock android 4.1.2 on a C6603. Build is 253.
I've got Rom Toolbox Lite and it has settings to tweak the kernel and CPU settings. I'm after some help as to what settings are the best when I want a decent combination of speed (I'm heavy on the ole Internet and gaming) and lasting battery life.
Any help or links would be much appreciated.
I am rooted but a noob at messing around with it.

To be honest, I have never used ROM Toolbox.
Infact for such apps, most "tweaks" give you a negligible performance benefit.
The only way to truly get a performance benefit is to play around with settings till you reach an optimum.
If you are truly after good kernel tweaks, take a look at Trickster Mod.
For battery savings, I recommend the use of Greenify.

If you are coming from an AMOLED display, then you might find that the Z's display is a bit under saturated.
But actually, the display is quite precise. There is nothing "wrong" with it.
All problems with viewing angles were solved in the subsequent updates.

First, I want to thank you for bringing this to the Sony Xperia Z forum as this would help alot of new and old XDA members. Its an great idea the QnA section is indeed a mess and I do understand that most moderators are busy with other things as well, this would definitely save them alot of time.
Second, You've got my support
mirroring
I can not mirror my Xperia Z with my LG TV, I recently installed the cyanogenmod and mirroring worked, but with the stock roms, does not work, can someone help?
I've recently rooted my Z with Doomlord's Easy rooting toolkit (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2327472). The root was successful and I had verified root access. But whenever I try to change system files like adding boot animation, editing fonts or even just simply change system files to RW, my phone will automatically force reboot itself. Please help!!!
Firmware:10.1.1A.1.253

I'm using .423 but already tried with .434 and .253, but it's the same thing, I seek the tv, he thinks, and then the time to connect, it just disconnects before the image appears on TV, the strange thing is that in cyanogem worked perfectly.
Hi, since .423 update I got problem with background data. Restricting it for a period of time then removing it by tapping from notification or setting doesn't really remove the restrictions. Accessing play store gets pop up notification to enabled background data. Problem solved by reboot. Anyone experience this and know how to fix this? Thanks in advance. Sorry for bad english.

Haha no there are actually newbies in XDA who post questions such as how to root zenfone 2 in irrelevant thread section..It seems people don't use search feature anymore...Although there is a sticky thread in general section and all the resources for zenfone 2 are there.... Please my humble request to all the brothers of XDA is please use search feature before posting anything.... It will save your time as well as keep our XDA clean
Getting mine tomorrow, against my better judgement (first time I've bought a phone before the bootloader was able to be unlocked). This will be going on it straight away.
Thanks.

Going through all close to stock roms for the N9 and thought I would try N960FXXS2ARL4 from the following thread, that was a mistake. And I would have posted this in the above thread to make people aware, but its been closed. -
- https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga.../n960f-fd-rom-devbase-modified-final-t3903293
I ended up going down this rabbit hold because the N960FXXS2ARL3 listed in the OP failed to flash, I thought nothing of this and as I have seen this issue with many other roms in the past and figured it was just a corrupt file. So I wiped and proceeded to flash an earlier version of Alexandr's DevBase (based on Android 8.x) and it was at this point I start seeing the no-entry icon in-place of the signal meter.
According to the OP in that thread N960FXXS2ARL4 is supposed to be the lastest Rom/Bootloader for Android 8.1 and I thought I was safe to flash this rom via TWRP, as I had been specifically avoiding upgrading to any stock Android 9.x rom's due to the known issue of not being able to downgrade to either stock or custom Android 8.x roms. So I flashed Android 9.0 version of Alexanders Devbase and sure enough the signal meter is back, indicated that N960FXXS2ARL4 bootloader/rom from the Da-Boss thread for want of a better word f***ed something. Because even flashing the pure stock rom based on N960FXXS2ARL4 that this handset(SM-N960F) came with when I bought it will not get the signal meter to come back.
Can someone confirm if N960FXXS2ARL4 bootloader allow's backwards flashing? if yes what could have possible happened that's causing my issue?
Ok so to my chargrin after searching through Alexandr repo on androidfiles I see he had a version on his own thread that was newer than the one in Da-Boss thread. So currently I am trying various rom's to see if there is even a nats chance I can get this device back to 8.1 compliant.
plz dont post in the rom development section. post in the Q n A or general discussion sections.
also plz search about bootlaoder downgrades and revision number and modems and firmware files.
ud have seen that once you are on a revision, you cant downgrade to a lower one. BL rev is usualy 5 th character starting from the right. both your firmwares you point to are on rev 2. just check in system/software info. to know. moreover CP aka baseband aka modem dont always play nice when they arent in sync with a particular rom/base.
try this,
wipe everything > > flash latest csg5 bootloader > flash rom > flash latest csg2 modem and reboot for the first boot.
it should work properly.

I posted here because the thread with the ROM responsible for all my aggravation is in this section.
I didn't flash the modem to start with, just flashed the p.o.s. ROM from Da-Boss thread, which I can only assume tried to flash the bloody bootloader/modem which would be a feet in of itself as the flash in twrp failed. Also as I said previously this Note 9 came with N960FXXS2ARL4. Which is actually a newer version then the one in the Da-Boss thread, so flashing (or having the fail to flash) should not have caused the issue with the bootloader/modem it now has.
@mods, feel free to move this to another section, but can I request the download links in the Da-Boss thread be removed please -
As the thread is closed
It has been demonstrated here and in that thread that this ROM is badly broken.

I dont say you go for android 9.0 either.
if you dont flash latest bootloader and latest modem, you are unable to use android 8.1, I am using ASB1 oreo now.
you can downgrade BL and modem, but your modem wont work if you boot your ARL4.
thats why after rom is installed you have to flash latest modem for made it work.
I have reported the Da-BOSS thread requesting the download link be removed due to the rom being broken, so that other dont have to deal with the same aggravation I did.

The above suggestions/advice and resulted in a softbrick, where the phone would not boot. So now I am having to do what I didn't want to do and upgrade all the way to Android 9.0 just to get a working phone. To say I am unimpressed at this point is an understatement.
And to add insult to injury, I now no longer have the OEM unlock option in the dev options, for which there is no current work around.... happy ***ing days.
maybe @Da-BOSS should come and see what you went through and explain why originally you had issues and tell if it has anything to do with him requesting the rom thread to be closed.(if it was a known issue why not edit out rom links to save users from the problems...transparency is key...)
this situation reminds me of the broken twrp 3.3.1 thread from arteuse) ive asked it to be closed or at least edited to warn users about the issue with parsing scripts while flashing zip but i was told that as xda users, we should be aware that flashing what ever we find here is at or own risk. even if many have pointed out issues, they won't censure nor close anything.(mod told me this) funny how comments and posts are censured and deleted every day for foul language though....double standard maybe?
The ROM is no longer maintained and no longer supported by me so any issues you are having it surely not my fault especially if the thread are already closed due to Alexndrs already have the latest Oreo version which is ASB1 so... there's no need for ARL4 to be supported by me after ASB1 got released... why the duplication?
Why would you use something that its thread are closed? Even at the first page of the thread.. it will tell you that [Thread Closed] at the first sight ! so... it is good that you reported about the link! I didn't know that! it was taking space on my cloud drives for nothing
Edit:-
Removed the file from my drive! To prevent any new accidents from new people on xda.

I didn't say it was your fault in any of the thread's I have mentioned this specific issue, how ever in your thread a number of people mentioned having the same issue of the ROM not flashing correctly from twrp so imho you should/could have removed the link at that point. And I didn't know Alexandr's file repo was browseable untill after the fact, otherwise I would have never even looked at your thread.
Because I wanted de-bloated version of the rom already on the phone, grand atleast something good came of it and thank you for removing the link. I didnt think to email you directly about it mainly because the devs on this forum are on for the most part very busy individuals.
I gave up the fight with the Note9 in the end as I had to flash it to stock Android 9 which for me is a non-starter for the time being (no reliable xposed, so no Xprivacy), that and the CSG5 removes the OEM unlock option so no rooting and no twrp.

its been reported many many many times. I've had pm and posted thread comments to the dev.
dev only made a rant reply about it and never modiyed his op. since many people have had the issue and what's deceiving is they each report the problem and blame the rom( multiple report on ambasadii and light rom threads) because they don't realize its not the rom but twrp that's not flashing correctly the rom. anyways i think it's time to ask an mod to move this thread via PM or something.
btw since ure on pie now. try ambasdii rom v5. its fully pack with features. the Rom Control is nice.

Ok we are getting a bit off topic here but @ XDA mods, WTF like! Anyway this rings a bell so I take it the current consensus is to avoid 3.3.1.0 on all devices and use the previous version for the time being?
Im not, I sold the Note9 today. Android 9 is a non-starter for the time being (no reliable xposed, so no Xprivacy), that and the CSG5 removes the OEM unlock option so no rooting and no twrp. May get a s10 or s10e once we have a working & reliable magisk, twep and xposed.
I used to be able to do this with my old Pixel XL - with TWRP. I now have a Magisk rooted Pixel 5 sans TWRP.
Q: How do I install ElementalX and Magisk in that environment?

You don't have to be such a **** about it. This is a Question & Answer forum. OP asked a question. You can either point them to the right direction or if you're not going to be helpful, just move along.
To answer OP's question, TWRP for Pixel 5 isn't fully functioning yet. Instead, we patch the boot.img to install magisk and kernels in them. You're already rooted with magisk so to install Elemental X kernel, install EX Kernal Manager and there will be an option to flash the kernel.

To answer OP's question, TWRP for Pixel 5 isn't fully functioning yet. Instead, we patch the boot.img to install magisk and kernels in them. You're already rooted with magisk so to install Elemental X kernel, install EX Kernal Manager and there will be an option to flash the kernel.

Originally the thread was in the ROM and Kernel forum, and not doing the work for someone doesn't make me a *****, I could have said it less aggressively, still not a ***** though.
