[Q] Fix Android 4.4

Alright here is the situation:
-Xperia Z with STOCK 4.4.2 update
-Locked Bootloadder without the ability to unlocked it (says it's not allowed for some reason)
-Not rooted
-No custom recovery
I want to apply this patch - http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/general/fix-4-4-lags-xperia-z-t2767303
(Qualcomm dalvik patch)
both files are ZIP files so "flashtool" is no help.
How do I do that?
Thank you.

If you're unable to unlock your bootloader, the only way to root and install the custom recovery required to flash those files is to downgrade, unfortunately.
If you don't want to do that, you will have to wait until someone discovers an exploit to root 4.4 directly (if that ever happens).

If you have an unlocked bootloader, you can flash PhilZ recovery and root your phone.

without flashing an old kernel or something like that !!!
if yes ,where can i download a compatible kernel with KK .13 build ?????

Late reply, but to be exact: There is a Locked Bootloader CWM available for the E1. I can no longer find it here on XDA, but I have the installer. I modified it myself because the script didn't quite work for me. But you still can't install it without root, so it's kinda useless.
In order to root, you either flash CWM (unlocked BL) or you flash back the .0.47 kernel, root, then flash the 2.13 or 2.14 kernel back. There's no other way known yet.

Go back to kitkat install root and recovery
Download pre rooted firmware of your region and past it to sd card
Now follow instructions of the page that you downloaded you pre rooted rom
Generally it should be wipe and flash however some roms need to flash stripped kernal so reed the instructions on that page carefully
In this method you dont need to unlock your bootloader....

In that case you better stay away from root, because if you break something, there will be more hassle.
If you want to root, learn how to do that, there are plenty of tutorials here on XDA available. Start reading, don't wait for someone to hold your hand.

Do I need to unlock bootloader first? I have stock firmware 32.2.A.0.305. I don't want to back up my DRM, just want to have root access.

Well, I think it is not possible to root without unlocking the bootloader. It is recommended to backup ta partition. Unless you backup the ta partition you will not be able to use x reality engine,software updates etc..
I don't know whether a prerooted firmware can be used to root without unlocking the bootloader.

can i install TWRP with this kernel??

1. No exploit has been found, you indeed need to unlock BL to gain root access. You will lose usage of x reality engine etc once unlocked.
2. But, you are able to use x reality engine etc. as long as the DRM fix is in place in new kernel.
3. You cannot use anything else than official firmware as long as the bootloader is locked.

Now you don't have to install twrp manually. I have merged recovery with the kernel.
Download the same from attachements.

Not sure the backup TA tool works or not in MM, if not working you'll need down to LP first.
Okay, if you can backup your TA in 305, then yes, lock bl via Sony offical unlock site and flash the elf kernel in this thread with flashtool. Remember to flash the supersu in twrp too.

I think it is not possible to backup TA on 305 because the ta backup tool only supports LP kernel.
You don't have to flash supersu because the kernel contains the latest supersu build.

If you don't care void warranty or come with no warranty, you can just unlock the BL now.
http://www.xperiablog.net/2015/03/17/guide-to-installing-xperia-lollipop-using-xperifirm-and-flashtool/
If you need to keep the warranty, you'll need to run XperiFirm to download any 152/200 firmware and follow this guide to create the image to flash.

Early testing showed no problem. DRM patched and twrp working fine but default set at enforcing mode, can you set the kernel to permissive mode?
OMG, opencamera can't recording 4K video(actually FHD seems not work too) on 305 while no problem on 224/253. I've to roll back and stick with XPower V3 now.

It would be so nice if you could give us the complete rom to be flashed via twrp I don't have a pc

I ain't that good at this stuff, but I was brave enough to flash a DRM-fix for Z5. It actually booted and made me able to root it, so I'm happy! It ain't my work, but I couldn't find the original post, so I hope it's okay to upload the .zip I downloaded!
Edit: Phone reacted pretty slow and camera didn't work, so trying some other things!

Downloaded the firmware and tried fix the kernel. Rootkernel v5.0 stuck at drm fix.

I have seen that you are one of the first Rooter of this phone and followed your posts.:good:
I'm Rooted running Stock firmware with custom recovery. Can I follow this guide for re-locking bootloader?
So theoritically,
1. flash a lollipop ROM using Flashtool
2. Restore TA Partition (this will relock the bootloader?)
3. Flash Marshmallow ROM and then wait for Android N update?
Do you suggest to wait for DRM fix and use Rooted Nougat?
Thanks.
