Root Newest fimware 10.3.1.A.0.244

:fingers-crossed: thank domloard for help we have root
[ how-to ]
1.Download the three files from the download section below
2.open FlashTool and flash the C6503_10.3.A.0.423 kernel.ftf - 7.12 MB file, this is JUST the kernel of an older firmware which was rootable
3.now once flashing is done reboot device and connect to PC in usb debuggin mode
4.CLOSE FLASHTOOL
5.extract the file DooMLoRD_Easy-Rooting-Toolkit_v18_perf-event-exploit.zip to root directory on c:\
6.execute runme_ file corresponding to your OS on desktop PC, this will execute a SPECIAL version of my easy rooting toolkit
7.the above step is crucial! if you use any older version of the toolkit then IT WILL NOT WORK!
8.after rooting is over the device will restart
9.you can verify if device is rooted by checking for SuperSU app (it is the newest version)
10.once thats done now power down device and open FlashTool again
11.now flash C6503_10.3.1.A.0.244 kernel.ftf 7.17 MB file to get back to the true kernel for the firmware
12.thats it after flashing is done just disconnect and power on device and enjoy rooted phone!
p/s: thank domloard , i use his post in Z forum and EDIT for ZL user

If what you want is to have full 10.3.1.A.244 stock, then NO, if you follow step 11 you are only flashing new kernel; you need the whole FTF package, to update to new version.
I am uploading just that as we speak; but for C6502. However, it should work fine with C6503 too (someone correct me if I'm wrong).
Actually I've been using a modded C6506 firmware for some days, and it was fine.

What recovery are you using? Link?

Wrked like a charm, thanks a lot mate. :highfive:

[GUIDE] [ROOT] Xperia ZL .2.67 fw using DooMLoRD Rooting Kit

Root Xperia ZL with Latest .2.67 fw (Yes The Latest 10.3.1.A.2.67)
I Take no credit for this I have done zero development work
All credits to the great @DooMLoRD
This is a just a Guide telling how to implement his method
Requirement
Latest Flashtool https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B8hAoiy5gSGVZU5zOHU4TFdJTkk/preview
latest Ftf file for fw .2.67
Ftf file for fw .423
Latest DoomLord Rooting Kit v18 (no else would work in this case)http://www76.zippyshare.com/v/29480564/file.html
Make sure device is on latest .2.67 fw (If not then wait for the official update)
NOTE: We need complete file only to flash the Kernel.sin & Loader.sin
OR
Use the files provided by me which contain the required files only (easier method)
These kernel files are from C6502 if you have another device they might not work. In that case use the complete FTF files for your device and root using complete ftf method
Latest .2.67 Kernel file https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B8hAoiy5gSGVWktnM2p1MTk2VFU/edit
Older .423 Kernel file https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B8hAoiy5gSGVbmtOY2lyMUc0OXM/edit?pli=1
How (Using complete ftf packages)
Flash only the kernel.sin & loader.sin from older .423ftf package using FlashTool
Uncheck all wipe options
Check all exclude option EXCEPT Exclude Kernel
Now flash this using flashtool
Reboot the device and make sure USB Debugging & Unknown Sources are allowed in settings
Now root using the latest DoomLord Kit v18 (No other version of kit will work)
Turn Off the Device and put in Flash Mode (Press Volume Down while attaching usb cable)
Now open the latest .2.67 ftf package and repeat the check and uncheck process as earlier
Flash only the Kernel.sin & Loader.sin
Reboot the Device
Done !!
OR
How (Using given ftf files) EASIER WAY
These kernel files are from C6502 if you have another device they might not work. In that case use the complete FTF files for your device and root using complete ftf method
Flash the .423 kernel ftf package using FlashTool
Reboot the device and make sure USB Debugging & Unknown Sources are allowed in settings
Now root using the latest DoomLord Kit v18 (No other version of kit will work)
Turn Off the Device and put in Flash Mode (Press Volume Down while attaching usb cable)
Now open the latest .2.67 kernel ftf package and flash it
Reboot the Device
Done !!
I take no responsibility for any kind of damage to your Phone
Do all this at your own risk
Thankyou @DooMLoRD for your great work

If theres is problem do PM me I will remove it
Thank You

Thanks for the guide!
The mobile ist rooted allright, but i noticed that the information (in the settings) about the kernel Version is the same as the one when I had flashed the .423 kernel. Did sth. go wrong? According to Flashtool flashing the kernels was successful. I added a screenshot of the current status. Is this the right .67 kernel?

Yes I dont think there should be any problem

See mine is also the same

Could someone share a prerooted flashable zip of the newest firmware for those who don't have access to a pc?

For some reason the doomlord exploit kept repeating device not found error so I wasn't able to flash. I installed the flash/fastboot drivers, wondering if I missed anything.

There is definitely some problem with your adb driver installation

On mine, the numbers are the same and I have just flashed via PC Companion and did not root yet.

As sanjulgupta mentioned my ADB drivers were incorrect. I went through this process, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2446666 for the drivers, it works now!

Thanks, worked like a charm

ROOT firmware .569 and install dual recovery (UNLOCKED)

i tried rooting the new firmware and it was a success, i now have root and dual recovery installed on stock 4.3
here's the other link i posted http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48805157#post48805157
here's how. (my device is locked BL)
LINKS UPDATED!! (recovery)
1.Backed up my TA Partition
2.Flashed the official .569 ftf using flashtool
3.Unlocked my ZL's bootloader
4.Flash this kernel to get recovery (thanks Minthun46) http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/?id=700#downloads extract the boot.img and flash it using fastboot or flashtool (fastboot mode)
5.Flash Supersu fix zip and dual recovery (thanks NUT) SUPERSU fix.zip http://nut.xperia-files.com/download.php?dlid=U3VwZXJTVV9maXg=
recovery that i used http://nut.xperia-files.com (download the latest flashable zip for ZL)
6.Re flash .569 ftf exclude everything except kernel and fotakernel.
7.Restore TA Backup.
FOR UNLOCKED BL
just follow step 2, 4, 5, and 6
VOILA!!! device is now rooted and has working recovery
PS
Will only work for ZL that can be bootloader unlock.
Hit thanks if it helps you.

Don't put Locked BL in the title, you only managed to root because your phone was unlockable. Putting Locked BL in the title states that your bootloader can also be locked for this method to work, and but unless your ZL can be bootloader unlocked, this method cannot be used for locked BL

this is the recovery i used http://nut.xperia-files.com/download.php?dlid=WkwtbG9ja2VkZHVhbHJlY292ZXJ5Mi43LjQzLUJFVEE=
if you still get bootloop just root it and install recovery using your pc. use nut's dual recovery for lockedbootloader for windows.

will these step factory reset the device or will it keep all my apps/settings?
Is the purpose of relocking the device is to keep bravia engine?

It will reset your device if u put a check on wipe apps log on flashtool. I recommend a clean install to avoid problems.
Yes i relocked it to regain BE2 for photos

[Q] I need some help after root of my Z1 Compact

I have just rooted my Z1C with the following guide.
With root i have done backup of DRM keys, and all it's ok!
But I have some questions:
1- My phone is unbranded Italian. Before I had the LTE icon, now I have 4G icon. Before the Sony PC Companion found me the update to 4.4.2, but not now. How can I put an Italian firmware through Sony PC Companion?
2- Im trying to follow this guide for download any firmware from Sony and create my .ftf with Flashtool, but where I found the Italian region code for Z1 Compact?
3- If i do a factory reset i will loose root?
4- With unlocked bootloader all firmware are rootable. How?
Thanks

2. The code should be on the original box
3. No
4. Yes, with a custom kernel (like this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2620794 )

Xperia M5 downgrade from MM to lolippop

Hello there,
I see that there are already some threads about that but i'm a little bit confused. Can please someone posts clear instructions and links for the tools needed in order to downgrade my xperia M5 to lollipop?

So you need to download the latest version of flashtool from www.flashtool.net then look up your m5's model (eg. E5603, E5606, E5653) and download the software from http://www.xperiablog.net/forum/resources/categories/2015-xperia-range.73/ here (generic just means not set to a specific carrier and it doesnt matter about the country), then click the lightning button in flashtool and select flash mode then select your software and then follow the instructions

Thanks very much for the instructions. I also combined some guides found on the internet and performed the downgrade. You should download the firmware via xperifirm, bundle it in flashtool and then flash it.
