below are some more question I want to know please help me out if you can
what I want to know is

- If I want to flash it as I said above, am I have to root it first ?
I am new for an android devices, so thanks for telling me
flash from sd card need:
1,same regain
2,rom version num. > old(not =)
your tab is 4.0.3 r1a,so can't "update" to r1a
if you want change regain,
1, root
2,change regain with "all in one" tool
2,update to a biger number(or crack version number & flash)
ps,不喜欢内建程序,可以root后干掉,同理可以补回阉割程序

"rom version num. old(not =)" means the Android version you are wanting to update to must be newer than the one you already have installed. The Android version cannot be older than or equal to the one you already have installed.
You can root Android 4.0.3r1a kernel 10. READ THIS THREAD. I greatly recommend you read the entire thread before attempting the root method.

No root, those scripts .sh[1], .sh[2] etc should run and not fail like that. Have you tried a rollback?? Special > Rollback

I want to know too. I have a Chinese dual SIM which I would like to update. Is there a standard or generic Android OS updater?

Of course not. There are many different devices, so is very difficult develop a tool like that.
To both: The updates are device-dependant, so you need to wait for updates from your manufacturer device. However, you can try a ROM developed for the chipset of your device (you can get the model using CPU Identifier). Of course, this way gives no guaranties of good functionality.
I've been trying to root this device for a few days now.
The device is running Android 4.2.2 JellyBean.
Tried using One Click Root on it, and it downloads ADB drivers, but never connects.
I know the old ZX1 was able to obtain root, but have had no luck so far with this one.
Thanks in advance.
Just reporting back, I've tried Framaroot, Towelroot, Kingroot APKs with no luck, and One Click Root, and various other One Click solutions for the old NW-ZX1 and other Xperia devices, and all have failed.
From what I know, the ZX1 and Xperia Z2 Tablet used similar kernel, and were able to utilize the same solution.
Any more info would be greatly appreciated.
Any news? Some people rooted zx1 with Vroot, but with zx2 it does not work.
While i was researching about the volume problem,
I found on the Sony Japanese website the firmware update of 1.01 as an exe or dmg, since it is not the original firmware only an update, i doubt it could be used or even could be helpful.
I am not posting any links here to avoid confusion, but anyone who might think that this could be of any help for him to find a solution and is knowledgeable enough to be playing around this area without bricking his device or at least willing to take the risk and responsibility, he could pm me for the link.
i will post it also on xda may be someone could help.
also, i don't want to give any false hope, so don't raise em up.
Still no luck after trying some other methods...
I'd love to root this thing to get rid of all the useless bloatware that came installed on it,
as well as trying to extend the battery life.

Were you ever able to root the ZX2?
Upgrade android on the Sony NW-ZX2?
Hi,
Did anyone ever get to the bottom of solving this issue. As I would like to upgrade the android version so more apps able to work with this Walkman?
No, I haven't found anything that works yet.
Guessing there's no hope for root on the ZX2? :/
Not even Sony willing to help!

There seems to be little or nothing that can be done - and in deprecation asked Sony to support this and they seem recluctant saying nothing meaningful just the usual scripted answers. We all have wonderful music player and as such all is not lost and I certainly will continue to try and get this android player updated.

Did anyone manage to successfully root the Sony zx2 with the root.360.cn or with any other root tool? I own a Sony zx2 that wish to root as well. My problem with the zx2 is that it is not passing hi res signal to my Sony pha-3 if I am not using the Sony stock music app. I tried to download USB audio player pro from the App Store but it says that it isn't compatible with the Walkman. Any input will be appreciated thanks!
Hi for those who want to root their zx2, i did get my zx2 rooted with 360root from http://root.360.cn/index.html
Can you share some of the system apps from it? Or maybe full system dump if possible?
I tried root.360.cn (both from windows and direct on android) it doesn't work unfortunately. Kingoroot doesn't work also. ZX2 EU version
Is anyone able to validate a successful root process yet? I'm seeing some recommendations that have been non-events for most.
Also, discovered http://oss.sony.net/Products/Linux/Audio/NW-ZX2.html today: unfamiliar with ROM development, would this content provide all that's necessary to build a ROM or is it missing things like hardware drivers?
Would love to Android 8.0 deployed to what is a fantastic device (and the last Sony are deploying with Android?).

Hi I just wanted to let everyone know that I managed to unlock the bootloader on my xperia xz 2 using the old adb command prompts when you get your unlock code from the Sony developer website but still struggling to root it. I've heard magisk is 1 method but you'd need to find and download your phones original bootloader image file and patch it I think then flash it. Then back to your pc and install the file magisk downloaded to your magisk manager folder in your phones memory using a adb command prompt
Hi All,
I have bought a SO-03E recently.
While trying to download offline Netflix content it turned out that in 4.1.2 there is no ability for the application to download the offline content and it's a feature for later Android OS ( 4.4.2 from the link below)
I don't see the ability to download in the application
https://www.ghacks.net/2016/12/01/he...ndroid-device/
**Current device : SO-03E - CB5A1YNYBX - 1273-3413_R8A - 1268-8243_10.1.E.0.305 - DCM-LTE_10.1.E.0.305
I have tried to unlock bootloader with no luck
While performing *#*#7378423#*#* to access the service menu.
I get Bootloader unlock allowed says No
My question :
Can the device be upgraded ?
Any work around for Netflix ?
Every try to upgrade with flashtool in any flavor sgp 312 yields the following error :
ERROR - The bundle does not match the connected device

Hello!
On japanese devices SO-03E bootloader can not be unlocked. So no custom ROMs, kernels, etc.
Update is possible, but not very easy and strightforward.
P.S: Netflix HD won't be available for you, even after update.
Thanks a lot @Rootk1t
my motivation is to upgrade only if I can use Netflix to download offline content ...... ( While I am flying I will be to watch Netflix )
The option for offline content is not supported by the current OS
I think that my old SGP311 used to work with offilne content ( as soon as I will fix it I will update the thread ( My battery is dead)
Do we know what is needed for Netflix to be able to work with offline content ?
See the link below :
https://www.ghacks.net/2016/12/01/here-is-why-you-cant-download-netflix-content-to-your-android-device/
So basically from what I understand nothing will help ??

@Rootk1t in your tutorial you wrote "If you're on 4.3, install XZDR recovery v.2.8.26"......but i AM ON 4.1.2
Do you by any chance know if it should work on 4.1.2 as well?
What are the risk for Bricking ?
Thx

Well, you can try to install recovery on 4.1.2 as well. If your device becomes unbootable, reinstall 4.1.2 with Flashtool v.0.9.18.6.
