Hi guys,
I am really getting frustrated due to quick battery drain and I tried all the steps. I found there are tweaks available to stop this by changing build.prop
But I have to get root permission to achieve this.
So can anyone provide me clear steps(if possible with screenshot) to root Xperia p without flash. Since I wish to use the same stock kernel. I tried with Bin4ry rooting method which doesn't work well.

oh you're running JB..my bad..from what i've read on JB threads, Bin4ry's rooter doesnt work so you'll have to flash a prerooted ftf
I had tried with his latest version which should support for jb but it got stuck at below stage.

To reduce battery drain, you can try custom kernel like sliding xp kernel and Rom like moonbreaker.
Or use the following guide to root your phone

No Free Internet after Phone Rooted
Hello Guys,
When my friend told me that I can have internet access for free (even without credit left in your phone) by rooting the device, I was curious to do so. I started searching How to Root Xperia P. I found some posts, viewed some videos from youtube and read some forums.
I tried DooMLord method, and I thought it was successful since my phone rebooted and everything went well. I found SuperSU installed in my phone. I tried to access internet (not via wifi) but to no avail. I reset factory setting but still the same.
Then i found a blog posted by Abhijit Guha and I tried it as well. It all went well but still I couldn't enjoy the free internet access they are talking about.
So what should I do now? I have xperia p, LT22i 4.1.2 android version, 6.2.A.1.100 build number. and Unlocking bootloader allowed: YES.
Please help.

Rooting lets you do a lot like modifying your system and boosting its performance. You can flash mods too. I believe that there are no free lunches in the world so I advice you to stop trying to get free internet.

Root for Linux is like administrator for window. With root access you can do whatever you like including brick your phone permanently.
Simple things you can do, like installing scripts to underclock the phone while at sleep to preserve battery, or install MODed system components , and even a MODed stock based ROM like @AndrewdXP said.
If you are going to root, be sure to read about it, have a full backup of your phone, and ready to flash stock firmware, before making any cahnges. Also you may want to be familiar with flashing stock firmware and be sure you can do it (e.g. Windows 8 may have drivers issues) BEFORE you attempt to make any modifications.
Soft bricks are common and useually easy to recover, simply by re-flashing stock firmware and restoring data, but may be time consuming.
For my Brazilian fellow users, I've just created and uploaded 14.2.A.1.136 C6843 FTF (latest official Sony 4.3 firmware). This is ONLY for the Brazilian Z Ultra model C6843.
If someone is wondering, this model is the same as the C6833 except it includes a digital TV tuner. So, while users with the C6843 can usually flash C6833 firmwares without issues (except losing the digital TV tuner function), I don't recommend the opposite.
This FTF should work on both locked and unlocked bootloaders.
@hamdogg , feel free to add this FTF to your FTF Depository.
Thanks:

@Androxyde for his awesome Flashtool, without which this FTF could not have been created.

as it is an FTF then by default it will wipe the data partition, in flashtool you have the option of "un-ticking" the wipe data, but it might end up that you have an unstable firmware with lots of crashes.

In order to get the correct time going in Philz recovery ensure you read the FAQ in the DevDB thread here
Basically, Goto recovery options, GUI preferences, Date and time, change date and time and ensure "Parse Daemon time data" is checked.

This seems exciting.
Just checking, this will allow root with a locked boot loader. Thus keeping the TA partition and all DRM keys?
No, you need root in order to install this....
But if you search you will find that there is root for a locked bootloader
Just search for
Giefroot.

cm12 recovery
Cm recovery isn't great at the moment, just wondering the best way to install this if its possible?
From what I've read so far, Sony phones don't have a separate recovery partition, its built into the kernel! Correct me if I'm wrong.
I've tried to flash with the cm recovery, but it failed, would I need to go back to a stock based ROM, then this recovery.
Then when I flash cm12, flash this recovery before I reboot like it says in the 1st post.
Many thanks

Root (Using giefroot for LB), run the installer.bat from this download
That's how you install this.
But if you want to install Cm, just fastboot the boot.img from the CM update.zip (That has the recovery in it) then enter recovery and flash the update.zip. You do not need this recovery. This recovery is for LB and is installed into the system partition.

Experienced the same "issue". However, dualrecovery installed apparently flawless for I have been able to flash (via TWRP) a pre-rooted .77 FW on my Z3C (D5803) without any problems. So for all practical purposes it seems to be a cosmetic problem only.

Hey Nut (giggle, sorry, I'm 12),
Stupid question but will reinstalling this recovery wipe my phone? I had XZDualRecovery installed after recently rooting my Z3C, but due to some extra steps involved with updating to the latest firmware while keeping root, I had opted not to couple your recovery with the pre-rooted firmware I generated with another tool thinking the recovery would still be there, but it appears to be missing. I didn't notice until later, but whenever I boot into recovery, it just reboots the system.
Anyhoo, thanks for all your incredible work!

No of course not
Installing/reinstalling XZDR should never wipe your phone unless something breaks during update/installation... but these instances are rare to say the least.

Thanks for the confirmation. Just reflashed and all is well!
Tried to flash it over CM12 recovery (Z3C), but it won't install. Also tried from PC with the script - NDR utils are installed but recovery stays CM. Any way to install at least TWRP somehow?
Edit: Found this one and flashed with Rashr app from Play Store. Works fine.
Hi,
Installed XZDualRecovery using this manual.
It's working. I can backup and restore.
But what is not working is flashing. Tried to flash CM12 and it failed with error message:
from TWRP: This package is for device: D5803, D5833, z3c; this is aries.
from Philz: This package is for device: D5803, D5833, z3c; this is .
from CWM: This package is for device: D5803, D5833, z3c; this is amami.
So looks like these recoveries think that current device is Xiaomi Mi2, Z1 Compact or something else.
I extracted recovery.cwm.cpio.lzma, recovery.philz.cpio.lzma and recovery.twrp.cpio.lzma and did some grepping:
Code:
$ grep -ri ro.build.product= *
recovery.cwm/default.prop:ro.build.product=amami
recovery.philz/default.prop:ro.build.product=z3c
recovery.twrp/default.prop:ro.build.product=aries
Code:
$ grep -ri ro.product.device= *
recovery.cwm/default.prop:ro.product.device=amami
recovery.philz/default.prop:ro.product.device=z3c
recovery.twrp/default.prop:ro.product.device=aries
From that i would say that cwm and twrp use wrong device value. philz is using correct value but still for some reason it does not work and does not identify itself as z3c.
PS, I do not have deeper knowledge about android recoveries.

This is due to the CM updater-script, it's not looking for "aries". You can either edit that script to add aries, or you can fastboot flash the boot.img from the CM zip and use the recovery built into that kernel to flash it (because then it will be identified as z3c).
-transfer CM zip to your phone's storage
-On PC: extract boot..img from CM zip
-connect phone to pc in fastboot mode (turn off, hold vol+ while plugging into USB)
-fastboot flash boot boot.img
-boot phone to recovery and flash CM (full wipe!)
This is also in the HOW-TO in the CM thread
Introduction
This ROM is purely for D6633 and based on official Sony Xperia Z3 23.4.A.1.264. Since there is no any customized stock ROM specially for D6633 in this Z3 forum, I decided to make one for my D6633 for daily use and I would like to share this stable ROM to those D6633 users.
NOTE:
1. This ROM is for only D6633 (Xperia Z3 Dual) device, don't use this ROM on other devices.
2. I am not responsible for damages of your phone (I dont think this ROM can cause any phone damages).
3. Not like other customized ROM, this ROM doesn't have any my personal branding and looks more clean (I think)
4. I will add features based on leisure time and my tasty, of course you can suggest me.

AdAway 3.1

It works with D6633_23.4.A.1.232_MAA from http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/general/pre-rooted-d6633-d668323-4-1-232-t3215356
No big deal, just one app out of many that work fine...
This ROM is available the Portuguese BR languages ?

I think so, because I found all languages are supported in language setting and both Portuguese (BR and Portugal) are also there.

Hi bugo57,
Why do you think the update deleted your recovery and superSU? The update package just replace some apks. If you haven't installed the installation package, you should install it first then update package.

do you have another solution instead of formating back to 4.4.4?

I don't think you have right package installed. Anyway,
the question is do you have root access right now? If so, just install Dualrecovery from your PC.
ps. If possible, and please paste the update script in the update package you got.

I had it before the flash, now it has disappeared. tried to install it from GP and I get empty black screen with the app logo at the top.
I didn't really looked into this, but I think I saw a little error message and ignored it, on the base rom flash not at the update flash.
