Flashtool ? Flashtool doesn't have SP support yet.
When you update, your existing data remains. So when kernel runs autoroot, it checks for a marker file. If not found it'll push su. Otherwise not. Simply check for a file root- veng in /system or /data/local/tmp ( I forgot exact location ). Delete it and reboot. It'll push su again.
You should have deleted marker file before OTA update.

First, unlock your phone bootloader at sony official website where you will lose the warranty of your phone. Then install your phone usb driver, use sony update service or pc companion.
Then, turn off your phone and connect it to the pc using usb while pressing vol up button. Go to the command prompt with fastboot utilities downloaded from sony website, follow the instructions and type these

no...
there will be no change in performance from the kernel side... u can ofcourse use "init.d scripts" to tweak the ROM but thats not directly kernel related, though this kernel will allow u to auto-run such scripts at startup...
also with this kernel u will be able to root ANY future firmware (GB atleast) as this kernel has the necessary codes to auto-root... so u wont need to hunt for pre-rooted system images which are huge (350MB+)
one of the users ROG_ZX has tested it on his phone and its working fine!
so users can now safely flash this kernel to auto-root their system!
Thanks for you work :-D

I had the same problem, I did't get the chance to install the driver. What I did was to go into fastboot before windows loads, I did it in bios setup to be sure, then boot to windows. Now it wil stay in fastboot and you can install the driver. Once the driver is installed you can enable fastboot at any time in Windows.
Does someone has the stock kernel ?
thanks for all guys help.
I have two question
1.today i see the official update, and want to use pc companion to update.But it show the phone setting got some error.maybe it is because I root the boot loader??
2.

And I want to restore to factory setting. is is possible to relock and no-root???
Just relock your phone, you can find the info here in the dev thread with the stickies

You will need the follows tools for making flashable zip
1.flash tool from binary4
2.usb cable
3.winrar software (which i recommend )
4.superuser.zip
5.ext4 unpacker
steps:-
1.Now open JB firmware FTF with winrar software
see image
2. right click system.sin and extract it
see image
3.open flash tool and go to tools ---sin editor ---open system.sin---dumb data and you will get two files system.ext4 (important) and system partition.bla(this one not needed)
see image
4.open ext4 unpacker and browse system.ext4 ----extract it
see image
5.now download superuser.zip from attachment and extract it (don't ask me how to).
6.copy bin/su and app/superuser.apk to system/bin and system/app of JB firmware respectively ,which you extracted in step 4.
7.download JB.zip from attachment and open with winrar
8.browse through system folder of it and drag and drop files it JB.zip (JB.zip should be opened in winrar)

15.click ok
16.press volume down key and connect the usb(which should be connected to PC) to device
18.done and now reboot
19.wait for it will take a long time

From common sense, its logical that a rooted rom will obviously work So if anyone still has doubts, go through with it and have no worries It will work just fine
[ps : This is the same method I described so dont get confused ]
I already got it, you need to make a flashable CWM update.zip archive.
This is problem I have very few free space on SDcard.
Would it B so hard if anybody made pre-rooted ftf file for locked BL?

Now I have the following folders in my zip:

Flashtool 0.9.14.0 For Xperia Z + Guide for flashtool
== Information ==
Flashtool is a tool that allows you to flash FTF files on an Xperia device, this is a powerfull toool when your device is bricked. I'll make this a thread for:
- How to install it?
- How to use Flashtool? (2nd post)
- How to recover a soft bricked device? (3rd post)
== Downloads ==
- Download flashtool for you operating system from the official FlashTool site: Download FlashTool
- Download the XZU device folder I created: XZ Ultra device files
== Installation ==
- Run the installer or unpack the archive for Linux and Mac
- [Optional] Windows uers can go to C:/FlashTool/drivers to have a nice wizard to install fastboot & adb drivers and also drivers for other devices
- Copy the downloaded device file archive to C:/Flashtool/devices
- Open up flashtool, go to "devices => manage => import" and choose the device file you downloaded
- Installation finished!
== How to use Flashtool? ==
== Some basics before starting ==
- Entering Flashmode:
* connect your powered off device while holding volume down to pc- Entering Fastboot (bootloader) mode:
* connect your powered off device while holding volume up to pc
== Install an FTF file ==
FTF files are the regular Sony firmware files, installing them is quite easy and powerfull to recover a soft bricked/semi-bricked device.
- You need to put your ftf file in C:/Flashtool/firmwares before flashing it
- You can start by clicking on the "Flash" icon, it's the left icon in the icon bar
- You'll get a prompt asking you to go to "Flashmode" or "Fastboot mode", choose Flashmode
- The following screen should look like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
- Red: Firmware selector to selct the firmware you want to flash
- Blue: this will display the firmware content
- Green: Wipe options, you can choose to wipe certain things here
- Purple: Exclude options, this is to exclude content like kernel or baseband from flashing
- Orange: verification check, you don't need to edit this option
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
- Click the Flash button to flash the FTF
- Wait for the prompt and connect your device in Flashmode
== Use Fastboot toolkit ==
- You can start by clicking on the "Flash" icon, it's the left icon in the icon bar
- You'll get a prompt asking you to go to "Flashmode" or "Fastboot mode", choose "Fastboot" this time
- You'll get the following screen:
The options you'll use most would be:
- Red: Flask kernel
- Blue: Flash a system.img file
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
== Restore bricked device (soft brick) ==
I'll add this asap after completing the other things in the thread!

No I can't, it is greyed out, but I just realized, do I need to be rooted for the backup? So far I have only used your tool to upgrade my phone to 510, but it is not rooted. Is this why I can't do a backup of TA?

Requirements:
Flashtool 0.9.13 by @Androxyde
XZDualRecovery 2.7.43 BETA or newer.
Current rooted FW version: 14.1.B.1.532 or 14.1.B.2.257.
Special features:
SuperSU integrated in system, FULL ROOT!
XZDualRecovery 2.7.75 BETA (CWM & PhilZ Touch & TWRP) pre-installed;
init.d support (read how to enable)
For both locked and unlocked bootloaders!
In the following guide I suggest you use an external SDCard but that's just good practice, you can use your internal storage or even an USB OTG storage device in TWRP if you like to install, that's no problem!... If you are modding and the likes, best is to have an external sdcard, just for safeties sake.
If you are unable to download torrent files directly, have http://zbigz.com/ do it for you!
How to update to 14.2.A.0.290:
Files:
For C6802: Download C6802_14.2.A.0.290.flashable.zip (Bittorrent: 842MB) and C6802_14.2.A.0.290_Stripped.ftf (21MB)
For C6806: Download C6806_14.2.A.0.290.flashable.zip (Bittorrent: 815MB) and C6806_14.2.A.0.290_Stripped.ftf (21MB)
For C6833: Download C6833_14.2.A.0.290.flashable.zip (Bittorrent: 760MB) and C6833_14.2.A.0.290_Stripped.ftf (21MB)
Save them somewhere you remember;
Due to a little bug inside the updater-script, you need to follow the guide in this post to make sure flashing it works OK. (Only if you downloaded the older version)
Put 'C68XX_14.2.A.0.290.flashable.zip' on (the external) SDcard1;
Put 'C68XX_14.2.A.0.290_Stripped.ftf' inside the Flashtool/firmwares folder;
Create a backup of your phone in TWRP and don't forget to backup the contents of 'SDCard' (the internal storage!);
Install XZDualRecovery 2.7.74 or newer from PC.
In TWRP -> Wipe -> advanced Wipe Tick/Check:
Dalvik-Cache
System
Cache
Data
Then 'Swipe to Right' to make it happen and go back to the TWRP home screen;
Flash 'C68XX_14.2.A.0.290.flashable.zip' in TWRP;
NOTE: do not reboot but go back to the main menu, then go to reboot->power off;
Flash everything in 'C68XX_14.2.A.0.290_Stripped.ftf';
Now reboot to system;
Once you get to the language select screen, reboot to TWRP (no need to finish the guide);
Restore the backup of DATA only, when done go back to the TWRP home screen;
In TWRP -> Wipe -> advanced Wipe Tick/Check Dalvik-cache;
Reboot to system.
The first boot will be slow and after a long wait at the boot animation you will see Android start optimizing the apps on your phone.
Video Guide:
NOTE: This guide is based on an older guide for the Xperia Z1 which has since been updated a few times, but it will give you a general idea.

Enjoy! :fingers-crossed:
Known XZDualRecovery Issues:
Busybox Updater/Installer: If you have XZDualRecovery installed, un-install any Busybox updating app/tool as most if not all of them will install a version of busybox which does not support the lzma compression applets XZDualRecovery depends on. The version installed together with XZDualRecovery is very stable and I have yet to hear anyone complain about it's stability.
How to report errors:
Please, before shouting out "It doesn't work!!1!" or "I lost root!" or even "My phone reboots when remounting /system RW!!" try the following:
Restore any JB 4.2.2 FTF using any means you are familiar with so you can try again.
Root it using any means you are familiar with.
Install XZDualRecovery and then try to update again using TWRP.
If it still fails something from there on: LOGS!!.
NOTE: The important ones can be found in /cache/recovery and in /sdcard1/XZDualRecovery, pack them up and send them to me or attach them to your bug report.
Thank you

[STOCK][4.3] Update to 14.2.A.0.290 [Root & XZDR][LB/UB], a ROM for the Sony Xperia Z Ultra
Contributors
[NUT]
ROM OS Version: 4.3.x Jellybean
ROM Kernel: Linux 3.4.x
ROM Firmware Required: 14.1.B.1.532 or 14.1.B.2.257
Based On: STOCK
Version Information
Status: Stable
Stable Release Date: 2014-01-18
Created 2014-01-16
Last Updated 2014-01-21
Tips and Tricks
Easy switching between locked and unlocked bootloader states!
NOTE: USE TWRP ONLY for this guide.
NOTE 2: You NEED to have XZDualRecovery 2.7.43 or higher to make this work.
Create a backup, including the Trim Area (TA!)
Unlock your bootloader
Restore backup without TA
Create a new backup of your UNLOCKED TA
Restore the previous TA backup to relock your phone.
Done :good:
Now you can switch between locked and unlocked bootloaders quick and painless: no more system wipes and you can basically do whatever you want
How to enable init.d support:
Open a filemanager app and navigate to the location where the XZDualRecovery folder is located and go in to it. Open XZDR.prop as a text file and set dr.initd.active to true.
NOTE: For this ROM it means the init.d script called 99SuperSUDaemon will kick in to action, so it's best to disable (by setting chmod 644) /system/etc/install-recovery.sh for the time being or to clear it's contents.
Done
Downgrading to a 4.2 ROM:
Download C6833_14.1.B.1.532_[NUT].ftf (Bittorrent: 760MB) and flash it using FlashTool. I've also added the FTF to the downloads page on the DevDB tab, this will allow straight downloads as well.
This FTF will allow you to downgrade to .532 without loss of your IMEI :good:
ROM Status: STABLE
Update 1:
C6802 ROM uploaded and seeding.
Update 2:
C6833 ROM uploaded and seeding.
Update 3:
C6806 ROM now uploading, FTF and torrent file links have been updated.
Update 4:
C6806 ROM uploaded and seeding.
Update 5:
A little bug has been discovered in the updater-script. To be able to flash the one you possibly have downloaded already, follow the instructions in this post to get it to work properly!
I will be updating the packages soon, in the mean time I have updated the OP guide to include this small fix.
Update 6:
Removed the files from the bit-torrent seeder. I'm currently uploading them again now. It will probably take about 30 minutes to finish that, will update again once completed and seeding again.
If you have already downloaded the package, make sure to read 'Update 5' with details on that how to fix yours.
Update 7:
Files have been replaced on the seeder box. There is no need to re-download them if you follow the guide pointed to by 'Update 5'.
Enjoy again!
Good work @[NUT] :thumbup:

Why?
Failed
Tried a few times to flash C6833_14.2.A.0.290.flashable.zip in TWRP, but each time it failed in the final step:
Code:
set_perm: some changes failed
E:Error in /sdcard/C6833_14.2.A.0.290.flashable.zip
(status 7)
So I decided to try the flashable zip from jackie099's thread, and that one was successful.

Ah frack, because of this report, I just rechecked my edify script, and even though it was correct typo wise, it is trying to set permissions on a file which no longer exists in the package.
I'll redo the packages soon. Packages have been updated. If you have one downloaded already, follow this little guide to fix yours!
In the mean time, open the flashable ZIP in winzip or winrar, extract META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script
and remove this line:
Code:
set_perm(0, 0, 0644, "/system/bin/ramdisk.stock.cpio.lzma");
Put the updater-script back inside the zip, updating the one there. It should make it flash OK from there on.
Thanks for the report!
thanks for all your hard work! however, torrents do not download (understand dependent on other servers etc) hope someone can post these (C6833) Thanks

Set up flashtool to where it asks you to connect your phone:
Turn off your mobile, then hold Volume down while connecting your usb cable. It will then start flashing.
Holding volume up will put your device in to fastboot mode, FYI
ahh, volume down lol. great, that did the rick
thanks a lot NUT! appreciate your job hehe. great work
oh right, i still have the notification of OTA update to 290 after i flashing your ROM. is there any way to clear it?

Hi,
something else: there was a post in the MultiROM thread about BOKROM, where a TWRP backup usable with MultiROM has been provided. Look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...rom-cm12-unofficial-hammerhead-gapps-t2969820. In the OP there is a "Special Download: M Preview 2 Backup *** NEW ***"

it's only the zImage as i made no modifications on ramdisk. You MUST flash stock MPZ79M boot.img, and then as usual flash this with "fastboot flash zimage zImage-dtb"

Do you know when a multirom zip is coming?
Any chance there'll be a modified kernel with permissive or disabled SELinux when this ROM gets updated to a flashable zip? Just wondering. I'm already on M Preview but I hear that the kernel change is like the only way to use root for now until SuperSU is updated.
Thanks, dowloading, no root yet?

I used the one that came with 5.1.1 update (LMY48B) it works flawlessly. So, my guess it does come with the same version of boot loader and radio.
