Important Points
-This process goes outside of what the manufacturer and carrier’s warranty covers.
Whatever may happen to your device, do not rush into a shop with your problems.
You are responsible for you own actions.
-Installation wipes data.
Please back up your data and necessary applications before beginning the installation.
-During the installation process you will be flashing the global XPERIA S LT26i ROM
The device’s battery charge will continue to deplete while flashing.
While installing the LT26i ROM your battery’s charge will fall and you might not be able to recharge even when the device is powered off.
-If you are not able to restore your phone with SEUS or ftf flashing with Flashtool then you might end up with a bricked phone.
-Please make sure you phone is charged to 100% before installation!
-The installation process is a pain in the butt and complicated. It’s also full with traps that might end up bricking your device.
If you are thinking of just giving it a shot and are careless then the chances of a bricked phone will be very high.
If you have trouble with understanding batch operations and the command prompt then you shouldn’t try to root your phone using this installation guide.
-You will need an empty folder labeled ‘files’ for the installation files.
Please keep this folder inside of the acroHDrootingKit folder.
-The ‘files’ folder should be empty.
Please move the required files into the ‘files’ folder after you have acquired them.
*The binary files are not distributed.
Please use your own means to attain them.

*If Flashtool is not closed properly then adb will not function correctly.
(3) Power on the device and execute step2.bat.
*During this step your device will not charge even if connected via the USB cable.
*Please be aware that if your device powers off due to low battery there is a chance of the phone bricking.

You have very little time before the boot up finishes so work fast!!
After your boot set up is complete you will see ‘acore process closed (stopped working) unexpectedly’, just close the dialog box and wait for the phone to settle.
Set your language as Japanese and skip the KDDI security.
Repeat [Steps] (2) - (6)
Connect the device to the PC via USB and execute step3.bat.
If the process doesn’t execute or connect correctly, stop the batch process and execute again.
Wait for the batch process to complete. (You are waiting for the ADBD to finish)

Did you install last flashtool and check the "no final verification"?

Just my two cents:
Here is a mini ADB Pack
(if you don't want to download the full Android SDK...)
It contains:
- adb.exe
- AdbWinApi.dll
- AdbWinUsbApi.dll
- shortcut to open a command prompt window in situ
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Extract MiniADB folder to C:\
Run "RunMe" to enter command prompt box (for windows PCs)
Have fun

getting the same error on step 2
"0076";ERR_DYNAMIC="Flash too small for current partitioning
anybody got a fix?

Is there an option for excluding the partition in the Flashtool?

i deleted partition-image.sin using 7zip from the xperia S .ftf file and it went to flash it but going to step 3 .bat, im getting some weird japanese errors again...
anyhow...i guess the first .bat didn't execute properly as well as it's saying permission denied - cannot make dir as it exists already and etc...
i continued to step 2 anyhow...
any other suggestion?

thanks.transrated.
i'm TwitterID: yuucyarisu ...
sorry...

roooot!!!
got it!!!!! so-03D has finally seen the light of root!!!
just delete every friggin mention of that .txt file on all .bat files (1 to 5)..and then delete the .txt file on the root folder... good to go!

Thank you for translation.
You have to reboot every remount /system.
Please do not remove system app, only to freeze, such as using Titanium Backup.
I because it is not good at English, I write this post using Google translation.

This for unlocked bootloader?
Does it might work with Xperia S?

thank you huhka and tgicd for the work..and everyone who helped.
guys, just edit ever .bat file using 7zip - my weapon of choice..
delete every mention of .txt - there should be no reason not to get root...

no it is not for unlocking your bootloader..it is just for getting root on the device.

So at what point exactly do you install 6.1.A.2.55? All I see is that you end up with 0.452 and you can easily find several rooted versions of that.
You noobs do you even read the forum rules and other post before posting?? idiots.

Updated on 12/06/2013 ©2011 by Androxyde
More information at http://androxyde.github.com/
Flashtool Release Notes:
* 0.9.13
This version is a big split with every previous ones.
And not fully featured as previous can be.
I changed the UI framework from Swing to SWT because of a better integration with Mac UI.
Here is what is missing from previous releases :
- No multilingual UI
- No recovery installer
- No kernel installer (for 2010 devices)
- No ROM cleaner.
- Cannot Add/Edit/Remove devices.
No TA hex editor (in pro mode)
Version fully compatible with all 2013 devices (Z1/Z Ultra/Tablet Z etc etc)
Unified Bootloader unlock feature with the new BLU icon. No more unlock plugin.
As for flashing, BLU is available even without any connected device, even with
unrecognized devices.
Updated SuperSU package. Added servicemnu root hack
(works with Z1/Z Ultra)
Known working for Xperia T/V too
Added TA partition backup/restore. Using this feature, you can backup TA before unlock.
Restore TA will relock the devicee and get DRM back as well as BE2
(full complete relock). You cannot count on this feature if ever your device is
already unlocked. Missuse of this feature can brick the device
Introduction to Flashtool:
Flashtool is a flashing software that can be used to :
1. Flash original Images (Android 1.6, 2.1, 2.3 Images)
2. Root your phone
3. Install Recovery, Busybox, custom kernels
4. Clean your Rom (remove /system/apps apps of your choice)
(Be careful, unless you really know what you do, do not modify the default list.
This can make your phone stuck at the SE Logo)
5. Clear dalvik cache
6. Optimize (install of JIT v2)
(Disabled in 0.4, will readd it as a plugin for 2.1 phones only)
7. Customize (installs apps found in the custom/apps folder of the flashtool)

FAQ.

A : Yes, it does it using official sony method (get key, then issue the right fastboot command)

I have an Xperia ZL that was purchased from bell. I know it has a locked bootloader that cannot be unlocked through the official Sony tool, so i'm wondering if it can be unlocked with this flashtool?
If so that would be awesome.
If not, I'll be supremely unimpressed with Sony.

Really? Did you try this version of it?
Windows Edition : v0.9.11.0 – MD5 : A0F880F3CF420A31D86026F49A2013D7
It worked just fine for me and several others.

ERROR SIN verification failed
I have a question about flashtool 0.9.13.0:
What does mean 'SIN verification failed'? Is there a problem in the ftf file itself, in the configuration of flashtool or between ftf file and phone (baseband, bootloader, etc)?
Thanks for any hints,

Now just wait for Android 4.4 version of the network's Root KyokoN Docomo and left.
docomo announced their presentation will be held on May 14 (in Japan).
https://www.nttdocomo.co.jp/product...x.html?cid=CRP_PRD_sns_tw_2014_summer_feature
They will announce Xperia Z2 (SO-03F), A2 (SO-04F) and Z2 Tablet (SO-05F).
docomo's Z got update to 4.2 nine days before Z1 (4.2) is launched.
Z1 should get 4.4 soon before/after SO-03F is released, but docomo is still developing 4.4.
They even writes "OS: Android 4.4 (Under investigation)" in their catalog...

can anyone anyone upload the kitkat version for SO-01F.. since I cannot update on wifi connection.. thanks
...
Got it updated using Update Service for sony
I finally got 4.4.2 for my DoCoMo z1. I got It from an ota update. It seems pretty good so far, but there seem to be a lot of wakelocks.
Hello! Has anyone here tried any custom roms on their SO-01F? Just curious if anyone has tried or not. I was rooted previously and noticed there was an OTA so I reflashed the Docomo ftf .119 and upgraded my phone with the OTA. Then I re-rooted and installed ,multi recovery.
@RyokoN: you have updated and root android 4.4.2 version from the docomo network yet?
two members on getting it there.

How to disable sony_ric to mount system as RW:
1. Download ric_disable pack
https://mega.co.nz/#!mp5jyDKa!l13Rm8r3bspzmhwtWmChXZf0MlWJkfKsHI9Nh2p4l_Q
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4fBjQuS8IxPVmgyajFyRFlvdnM/edit?usp=sharing
2. If you have recovery installed in your system, install "sony_ric_disabler_signed.zip".
If you don't have recovery or "sony_ric_disabler_signed.zip" doesn't work for you,
run these commands in command prompt:
Code:
adb push writekmem /data/local/tmp
adb push findricaddr /data/local/tmp
adb shell
chmod 0755 writekmem
chmod 0755 findricaddr
su
/data/local/tmp/findricaddr | /data/local/tmp/busybox tail -n2 | /data/local/tmp/busybox head -n1 | /data/local/tmp/busybox cut -d= -f2 > /data/local/tmp/ricaddr
chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/ricaddr
/data/local/tmp/writekmem `/data/local/tmp/busybox cat /data/local/tmp/ricaddr` 0
3. Run this command to mount system as RW:
Code:
mount -o remount,rw /system
4. Done!
If "sony_ric_disabler_signed.zip" doesn't work, you have to run these commands at every boot (for example, by Tasker "Run Shell" at "Device Boot").
Code:
su
/data/local/tmp/findricaddr | /data/local/tmp/busybox tail -n2 | /data/local/tmp/busybox head -n1 | /data/local/tmp/busybox cut -d= -f2 > /data/local/tmp/ricaddr

No, I didn't test but other user reported it's working.
EasyRootTool v8 has a problem to check MD5 of tr.apk, so you have to find older tr.apk or ask dev to support new tr.apk.

5. DEODEXING
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MUST HAVE A UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER
MUST HAVE CUSTOM RECOVERY
Deodexing is basically repackaging of these APKs in a certain way, such that they are reassembled into classes.dex files. By doing that, all pieces of an application package are put together back in one place, thus eliminating the worry of a modified APK conflicting with some separate odexed parts.
So, Deodexed ROMs (or APKs) have all their application packages put back together in one place, allowing for easy modification such as theming. Since no pieces of code are coming from any external location, custom ROMs or APKs are always deodexed to ensure integrity. - R_a_z_v_a_n
--------------------------------------------------
DOWNLOAD - KitKat_Deodexer
--------------------------------------------------
Extract the contents of the Kitkat_Deodexer.rar to your PC
Plug in your device
Ensure that USB debugging is enabled
Code:
Settings > Developer options > USB debugging
Dont see developer options?
Code:
Settings > About phone > Tap "Build number" 7 times
Run main.bat
[TYPE 1] and tap [ENTER] - to create a working directory
[TYPE 2] and tap [ENTER] - to pull the System files for deodexing
When finished, [TYPE 3] and tap [ENTER] - to start deodexing
When finished, [TYPE 4] and tap [ENTER] - to create a flashable zip
Move [deodex_install.zip] to your external SD card
Unplug your device
Enter Recovery
Flash [deodex_install.zip]
Reboot
PROFIT!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6. VZW HOTSPOT / WIRELESS TETHER HACK

I use TWRP, so I have no idea if you can change the directory in CWM. I think there maybe a option to backup to sdcard1 or something like that, but again I don't use CWM.
There are no kernels for Stock firmware unless you downgrade and use CM11_jbbl ROM. The heat issue has been reported multiple times, I dont have any heat issues but others do. You could try and disable FastDormancy.apk/odex. I read that it helps, but IDK.
My phone heated up with too many radios running at once service locations was the main beast but disabling allot of its permissions fixed that I have also noticed high battery loss when my phone is searching between 3g/4g ect which also penalty meant heat....

Rooted xt907, verizon pushing update
Hello,
I used the TowelRoot method on my XT907 a couple of months ago. Just wanted to get bloatware off, and add a couple of battery life apps.
It was successful, and I have enjoyed being rooted so far. However, saturday verizon tried to push an update, and I have rejected it the last couple of days. As i am unsure if i'm safe to accept this update. Also, since they have pushed this crap at me, my phone has been doing very weird things. It was completely fine before this. Now it blacks out randomly, and comes right back.
Anyhow, the question is should i unroot before accepting this update?
Thanks for any help, and sorry if i've posted in the wrong board.

Unlock your boot loader before doing anything else ... If you have debloated you will probably have to use rsd to either flash directly to the update or to .10 then ota up to the update... But be sure to unlock your boot loader or it will be locked for good and there is not a way to root the update yet with out an unlocked boot loader...BTW mine has been doing this black out thing you describe after rejecting and deleting the update...

Did you unlock your bootloader? If not I suggest you do so now before taking any update. If you update to 183.46.15 and do not have a unlocked bootloader you will NOT be able to root.
In order to update, you'll need to have a stock system (unaltered) and recovery. I would suggest you follow #4 option 2 to restore.
Or alternatively you could delete or rename this app to disable the OTA pop-up nag screen.
Code:
/ system / priv-app / [COLOR="Red"]3c_ota.apk[/COLOR]
Thanks for your help guys!! I'm not sure if i've unlocked the bootloader, but i'll do the research on how to do that. I just didn't want to accept the update, if it was going to cause further problems.
Hi!

Moto patched the FakeID, Futex & TrustZone exploits on the .15 OTA. So unless your bootloader is unlocked, your stuck without root.
So I could use the FXZ and update to 183.46.10 and it should work?

No sir, I can't unlock until I root, correct? And Samurai's FXZ is for locked or unlocked razr M's. I could root and unlock once I get to that version (through RSD or HouseOfMoto), right?

The easiest way to get root and recovery on T2 ultra dual {5.1.1} {.182}

My this post may be considered as a sequel to my previous post about the easiest way to root t2 ultra dual {.472} {5.0.2}
Now the way to root our t2 ultra dual {5.1.1} {.182}:
Download the ftf file of latest firmware 19.4.A.0.182 (search on google)
Download latest version or V 0.8 of prf creator (search on google and get xda link)
Download SuperSU.zip (search on google)
Now put the prf creator somewhere in your PC (let's say on desktop) extract it there.
Add ftf file and superSU.zip in prf creator
Mark all the boxes on right side of prf creator window
Hit create. In 15-20 minutes you will get a zip file named "flashable" in prf folder
Copy this flashable zip and put it in root of SD card of your phone.
Now reboot your phone in recovery
after rebooting into recovery, follow in sequence:
Wipe
Advanced wipe
select:
cache
dalvik
system
data
internal memory
swipe to wipe
go back to recovery home
tap install
select external sd card
select that flashable zip
swipe to flash
wipe dalvik
reboot to system.
To install recovery:
Download latest nut's xzdr installer zip
Put it somewhere in your computer
Extract it, you will get a folder of same name
Connect your phone to pc in USB debugging mode
Open the extracted folder
Double click the windows installer batch file
Grant superuser access on your phone's screen
Follow the instructions on terminal
(press 1 on your pc as you have SuperSU in your phone)
After successful instalation of recovery, your phone will reboot into recovery.
Reboot the phone into system
.
.
Now you have a rooted 5.1.1 D5322 with latest Dual recovery.
This is not even close to simple dude..
This is what i did to root :
1. Copy SuperSU to sdcard
2. Flash DUAL_RECOVERY_D5322-LP.img
3. Install supersu then power off
4. Open flashtool and Flash STOCK KERNEL 5.1.1 ONLY KERNEL
5. REBOOT & VIOLA
there are few additions required for noob like me
To make work this method
Requirement :
Rooted D5322 with 4.x.x or 5.0.1 & working recovery installed.
To install recovery:
make sure that you have :
Enabled USB debugging
Enabled Unknown sources

Need step by Step instructions please
Hello
I am a novice with many of the tools listed & the steps outlined, can somebody please help with step by step instructions,
maybe email me [email protected]
:good:
Thanks. For my XPERIA T2 ULTRA DUAL I had to made a change:
Instead of using the Recovery-Software you (rituraj_singh) offered I had to use the software (TWRP) recommended b abcdjdj in his post from 27th May 2014 ((D5322) Dual Recovery) on the XDA-Forum.
For the not-experienced Users of Androxyde Xperia Flash Tool: You can use the XperiFirm-Software (XI-Button in the Flash-Tool) and install the 5.0.1 (19.3.A.0.472)-Firmware from MELA Latin, but you have to overwrite also the Userdata and the Apps-Log, otherwise there are problems. After flashing use KingRoot to root your device, than replace kinguser using the batch-script of w0lfdroid.com (May 2015) placing the mrw-folder (included in the downloaded zip) on the intern memory (important) and executing it with Terminal Emulator. Than open SuperSu (installed by the script, not by you), and actualize the root-script. Afterwards reboot.
A Tip: After having installed the TWRP-Software on your phone you could have problems rebooting into the system, so prepare all and after having flashed the custom prf-rom on the device all would be function!

Here comes a step-by-step-Version (summary) of all the "Posts"s needed for rooting Lollipop 5.1.1 on your Sony Xperia T2 Ultra (Dual).
The copyright is by the "Post"-authors like rituraj_singh and abcdjdj (I took the links to the posts nearby the description of the step) and by w0lfdroid.com, xperiafirmware.com and the software-producers.
I only wanted to create a step-by-step-summary. There is no garantuee which garantuees success using the summery! No responsability dad it does not destroy your mobilephone. Use it at your own risk! Thank you to the original "owners" of the posts. I hope the summary is ok for them! Otherwise contact me.
Time: maybe 1 hour or 2 hours
Tipp: if you until yet did not install Android 5.1.1 on your Xperia T2 Ultra Dual you do not have to follow the steps which are describing how to download the older Firmware via XperiFirm, but you should have installed the FlashTool just for the drivers (You won't use it directly).

Well my friend, first at all, this is a awsome guide, it really help me to load the 5.1.1 on my SP. I Must said that even if this looks
overwhelming at the begining, it's pretty easy to do it.
Just for the FeedBack, this method works in:
T2 Ultra D5306 Single SIM, TELCEL.
I use the US CUSTOM Stock ROM 5.1.1 ( 19.4.A.0.182 ), if ask for the FTF, look at the FTF MEGAPOST.
Thanks to @rituraj_singh for find this method and @theokon to make the Easy-Mode Guide.
This thread must being Sticky.
PS: You have to add one step: When you reboot after the Flash, it can take a while in start the smartphone, It is to prevent panic if they see it takes a lot time to start, they might think it is bricked and try to restart it. :good:
This works great for rooting the phone (D5322) but for me link2sd doesn't read the 2nd partition and keeps giving me unable to mount errors.

You got the error when you try to mount on /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 ? it and said that the mount fail?
I had that error as well, maybe you have to try this @virgilone2:
1.- Uninstall the Link2SD.
2.- Install the SD MAID and run it, clean it up.
3.- Reinstall the Link2SD.
4.- Install the Recovery (I use this) [ XZDualRecovery 2.8.21 ] or the same you use in the guide.
5.- Run the Recovery, and go to Wipe > Advance Wipe > Davik Cache, Swipe to Wipe, after it ends go to Reboot > System.
6.- Before your smartphone start as usual, going to pop one little window with a counter, wait to end (Maybe take a while).
7.-Run you Link2SD, it have to Mount the ext2 partition and ask for reboot, if isnt the case, just recreate the mount script.
8.- Enjoy your Link2SD in Lollipop 5.1.1 :good:
This works for me, i hope works for you as well
Windows 10 Driver Problems
When having updated to Windows 10 driver problems could happen.
When entering "fastboot devices" in your computer's terminal and nothinh happens it is like this.
You can solve this easily:
1) Plug in your phone in fastboot mode into the computer (Volume Up + Plug-In of the USB-cable)
2) Go to the"Devices manager" (or called simular, as I don't know how to translate it correctly), where you will find the unknown S1 fastboot driver.
3) Download the official Sony flashing tool "EMMA" and reinstall the "Android Studio" in order to get the correct drivers
4) For security download also the "Universal ADB Drivers Package" from chip.de and install it
5) Back in the Device Manager reinstall the correct driver selecting it from the drivers list (!): Sony SA0110 - ADB Interface driver

Well thanks!! Links needed to perform the steps suggested are everywhere in the realm of Internet. Uploading same thing again and again is waste of space,data and everything. Hope you understand.
Ftf can be downloaded through xperi-firm and recovery can be downloaded from nut's Xperia files website. SuperSU is already available in more than 1000 places on Internet. And prf creator is created by a certain developer which is already available on xda. So reposting his item might be considered as kinda theft/plagiarism. And this is already mentioned in this post that it's a sequel of previous post. So please do your own bit of work/home work before posting negative comments.

This post is a sequel of previous post. To perform the steps mentioned you need to be on earlier versions of Android. Like 5.0.2 or earlier. And recovery must be installed in that. If you're on 5.0.2 follow my post about how to root on 5.0.2.
