Step 1: in folder "Buoc 1"
Flash 14.1.B.1.532 by flashtool. Start phone, turn on USB debugging (skip lost imei and signal then continue)
Root
Recovery
Recommend Backup TA
Step 2: in folder "Buoc 2"
Copy 3 file in folder "Buoc 2" to phone.
Reboot phone into Team Win. ( Press Power wait green led then press and hold "volume -" until red led release "volume -"
Wipe -> advance wipe -> tick dalvik cache, cache, data -> wipe
Install 3 file Rom, Recovery, SuperSU -> Do not reboot but go back to the main menu, then go to reboot->power off
Step 3: in folder "Buoc 3"
Copy file in folder "Buoc 3" into fimware of flashtool
Run fashtool flash file C6802_14.3.A.0.757_TW kernelonly.ftf.
Reboot phone
Finish
Another way better
You do Step 1 then reboot TWR flash c6802_14.3.A.0.757__flashable.zip --> power off phone --> flashtool flash C6802_14.3.A.0.757_Stripped.ftf --> finish
This is already more or less written about 5 times in the ZU section, but good on you for taking the time.
Change the 532 ftf for the one by [NUT] then you can make the first section simpiler as there will be no IMEI issues. See my downgrade thread for the download.
In second section put a warning about that the phone won't be in a bootable state at that piont

If I am already on rooted .290 can I just flash straight to 757?
Or do I need to go through the whole .532 downgrade drama again?
@blueether if you don't mind, could you write me up a very quick process to get from rooted .290 to rooted .757 on the C6806?
I'd really appreciate it.

If you upgrade through PCC phone will lost root. You have to do step 2 and then search c6806 kernel and flash in step 3

hi
i have LB zu 6802
and install this rom step by step
i have supersu and when open program for example dxtoolbox or titanium or freedom ask me for grant root premission
but
it's really not fully rooted, It's like a light root but it's not really real
my program not work good
for example
in titanium
i uninstall a program(google+)apparently unistall that when close titanim and open again see google+ and other program too...
in dxtoolbox apparently close program but programs are open
apparently disable startup programs but after restart open all program
in x-plore when delete a file from root/system apparently delete this but when close and open x-plore i see back delete file
in freedom say this error write permission on system partition are required in order to use freedom
Will this ftf file that has to be flashed using flash tool work for the 6806 flawlessly, because it is named for the 6802?
Don't want to lose lte or something.
Plus is this full root?

Hey! Recently I tried rooting my Sony Xperia Tipo 11.0.A.4.25 (not dual sim) with one of the links which led to this website. But after the .bat file told me to click restore on the screen that appears on my phone, it just stops over there.
A couple of months back (before the update for my firmware had come out) my phone was rooted and was working perfectly fine. But it crashed when I tried installing CWM. I had sent. It for repairs (not to sony) where they restored my whole phone.
Please help me root my phone. Now I can't do many things without the root. Please help me.
Contact me on Twitter @NeelShenoy
Post software used..
The root program you are using most likely not compatible with your firmware... atleast send the link to the program so we can see what are you using and help you diagnose the problem...
Root Method
If you want a method to root , first downgrade your frimware 11.0.A.4.22 e=then use bin4ry's method for root....

Is There any other way without downgrading?
Isn't there any other way without downgrading?
And how to I flash the file? Is it like the way you installed CWM for me?
Nope. This one is much more safe. Use flashtool , put the .ftf in the flashtool/firmwares directory , install the drivers needed for your phone in the drivers directory if flashtool does not recognise your phone.. Make a backup first!! First use Sony's update service program(http://www.sonymobile.com/in/tools/update-service/)
and click update , when it says "you are on the latest firmware" click install which will re-load your firmware into your phone (follow instructions there) then go to
C:\Program Files (x86)\Sony Mobile\Update Service\db\13740270\blob_fs folder (program files in case of 32 bit computer)
create a folder called "Source_files" in c:\
in C:\Program Files (x86)\Sony Mobile\Update Service\db\13740270\blob_fs you"ll find One large file (~400MB) and 2 smaller files (~14MB and ~64KB) .Copy those 3
files to "C:\Source_files"
then use flashtool >advanced >decrypt files , Select source folder : "C:\Source_files" , From Files, select all (Click & Ctrl + A) and click -> to move the 3 files to "Files to convert" click ok From Folder list, select all and click -> to move all files to Firmware content. If it is ICS, tick the Disable Final Verification Check , On Device write the model click ok and let it finish
When it finishes the .ftf file can be found on "C:\Flashtool\firmwares

That won't work unless he has a unlocked bootloader, which I assume he doesn't. So he either unlocks the bootloader (which might end creating problems, as he might forget to backup TA partition)) or uses the straightforward VRoot

gowan how do i know if it is locked bootloader?
I found some info on google about ta partition backup that it contains drm keys for prop soft etc.,
So may be this is the first step I shd do if it is locked bootloader.
Now it is restoring ta will get you to point in unlocked state.
Questions becomes will it be possible to restore TA partition and stay in unlocked mode?
Also help is for xperia phone z. Not sure it is same as xperia z tablet.
Thanks,
My Odd Xperia Z C6606
I have this same issue, Except my firmware is slightly newer, 10.3.1.E.0.191, I don't think I can make a new pfn address without root or boot loader access. I'm stuck
I don't get why everyone is having such an issue with rooting this firmware. Grab an ftf of an old ie. Rootable firmware for your tab flash with flash tool,root it,put a custom recovery on, and then grab the files and follow this guide

No. The bootloader doesn't unlock just because you updated your device. And no, there is no way to unlock the bootloader without voiding your warranty. And, remember, always backup your TA keys before unlocking the bootloader.

Thanks @[NUT] for finding the way of rooting 4.3 with locked BL. Since nobody makes one for Z Ultra, I will do it.
This is a flashable ROM extracted from stock 14.2.A.0.290 without ANY modification.
The only 2 things added are FULL ROOT and XZDualRecovery.
This method is copied and modified from @[NUT] 's Z1 ROM
Requirements:
Flashtool 0.9.13 by @Androxyde
XZDualRecovery 2.7.71 BETA or newer.
Current rooted FW version: 14.1.B.1.532 OR 14.1.B.2.257 (rooted).
note: 257 is not tested on Z Ultra yet.
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.
C6802: How to update to 14.2.A.0.290:
This should work for C6833, too. But you will lose 4G.
WARNING:
As the 'update' part of this ROM package does not work yet:
THIS GUIDE WILL DESTROY ALL USERDATA!
For C6802: Download C6802_14.2.A.0.290.jackie099.flashable.zip (C6833_14.2.A.0.290.jackie099.flashable.zip if u have C6803)and C6802_14.2.A.0.290_Stripped.ftf, save them somewhere you remember;
Put 'C6802_14.2.A.0.290.jackie099.flashable.zip' on (the external) SDcard1;
Put 'C6802_14.2.A.0.290_Stripped.ftf' inside the Flashtool/firmwares folder;
Create a backup of your phone in CWM or TWRP and don't forget to backup the contents of 'SDCard0';
To prevent bootloops:
Flash XL39h-C6802_4.2.2-14.1.B.1.532.ftf firmware, please use the newest flashtool, or brick.
root it with Vroot, and install Supersu to replace vroot's permission manager.
Flash XZDualRecovery 2.7.71 (from PC)
In TWRP -> Wipe -> advanced Wipe Tick/Check:
Dalvik-Cache
System
Cache
Data
Internal Storage
Swipe to Right to do the factory reset
After that Click Format Data -> type yes
Flash 'C6802_14.2.A.0.290.jackie099.flashable.zip' or 'C6833_14.2.A.0.290.jackie099.flashable.zip' in TWRP
NOTE: do not reboot but go back to the main menu, then go to reboot->power off;
Flash everything in 'C6802_14.2.A.0.290_Stripped.ftf';
Now reboot to system.
Check Supersu, and u are rooted!
Hit Thanks or donate me if you think my work is useful for you!
Thank you for this! Much appreciated!
Just to let you know - both of your link (C6802_14.2.A.0.290_Stripped.ftf,) points to the wrong file.
I have been using NUT's 4.3 root guide for other Z-devices, but when trying with my Z Ultra it wouldn't work. I tried going from a rooted generic .532 to generic .290 created according to NUT's guide. I had success on Tablet Z and Z1 but not Z Ultra. I have a C6833.

After looking at XZDualRecovery 2.7.71 I think this will work
DONT TRY THIS AT HOME KIDS
1/ flash either my BE Rom or DoggRom
2/ DON'T reboot yet, go to advanced/ power off (CWM) [or back to the main menu, then go to reboot->power off (TWRP)]
3/ start flash tool / select Flash / Flashmode
4/ select .290 ftf
5/ deselect wipes (done on install or Rom), exclude everything but kernel and then flash
6/ Reboot
7/ run XZDualRecovery 2.7.71 from pc
Will this work @hamdogg, @jackie099 ???

maybe that should have read:

5a/ exclude everything but kernel [Middle Box]
5c/ and then flash
at that stage it should boot on a locked bootloader with partial root access, then running XZDualRecovery would give full root and recoveries - It's my belief that our roms wont boot on a locked bootloader as is?

Hey, I just followed the following steps and have working Bravia engine (Me thinks ) with root on a .136 C6833.
Backup TA.
unlock bootloader
1) full flash .136 ftf using flashtool. let the phone boot up and do all the initial setup.
2) Flash jackie's kernel.
3) flash update_SU 1.93.zip
4) using flashtool, flash kernel only (.136)
5) restore TA and relock bootloader
voila rooted .136 with a locked BL and working Bravia Engine
Credits to jackie099 for his kernel and DevShaft for BackupTA utility.
I didnt do any research so no credits to me :angel:
i just tried something on my phone and it worked so am posting it!!
Mods if am offending someone or violating any rules, pls notify and delete the thread!
If one hasn't already ready backed up their TA then root is required for the 1st step.

If you spread any instructions, then I ask to give references to other sources.
For example jackie's kernel. Where I shall look for it?
using flashtool, flash kernel only (.136)
NO !
If you gonna flash just a kernel your Update center will pop up notification about new system .136 system update.
So to remove that you have a choice.
-You need to remove Update center.apk.
or
You need to flash like this (everything besides "system" and "wipe app data")
This is XDA, if you cant search...
NO !
If you gonna flash just a kernel your Update center will pop up notification about new system .136 system update.

Where he says to flash just the kernel you already have a full .136 so i doubt updatecentre will care.
To OP congrats on finding this out (although it is semi common knowledge that it will work like that)
Just one thing, if you unlock the BL again it will cause another data format, but you can make a backup of the TA in its unlocked bootloader state and use that to unlock and thus not format data. Just make sure you have them well named.
Quick question..
To get root: I ota to 136, unlock bl, flash Jackie ric kill kernel/recovery, flash su. I wouldn't mind trying this but how is "partial root" problem avoided when using the stock non ric kill kernel that is required to relock bl?

@muntaha_v3 or @blueether ~ same question as buzman; don't you need non standard kernel to keep full root (system rw).

True, but many people only need read access to /system. May be that is the case here?
And you could always flash a unlocked backup and hot-boot a modded kernel for the odd occasion that you need full root?
Or, as I thought just after posting, a "system r/w access" start up script prior to stock kernel flash and you could also keep full root after stock kernel flash.

Sorry guys, was busy with some official Training programs so didnt have time to come online.
1) Yes you have only read access to system.
2) Restoring TA doesn't cause full wipe.
3) this i tried for some of those friends of mine who own Xperia Z1 and Z but dont exploit their full potential because they are scared they'll lose warranty. Convinced one of them, the others are still in line though. Shame on them
Not meaning to get pedantic, maybe the thread should be renamed to "unlock bl, su, relock bl" as root implies rw access to root lol (unless rw script for system is run during boot)

Hi,
My device the SGP511 has never been rooted and I updated already to the newest firmware which may be a bad thing cause I hear I have to unlock bootloader but I cant backup TA without root, so I am stuck in a catch 22. Am I able to go back to an older firmware, do I have to unlock bootloader and lose Sony warranty? What options do I have?
Edit: I wasnt clear, I want to get root access, which was the reason for this post

- Download .314 ftf file of your choice and flash it via Flashtool. (Downgrade)
- Root your device method you chooce. (EasyRootTool, Newroot, Flashtool, XZDualrecovery)
- Backup your TA
- Install XZDualrecovery
- Flash latest prerooted firmware for your device via custom recovery
- Do what ever you want with your device
Basicly no need to unlock your bootloader just to achieve root. You just need to downgrade to rootable firmware and then update it to the latest by flashing prerooted firmware via custom recovery. Or after you achieve root and backed up TA you could unlock your bootloader and etc...

Which method do you recommend?
I downloaded and flashed D6503_1281-9709_17.1.2.A.0.314_R4A_Customized US.ftf using Flashtool. I thought I did everything right, but my tablet wont start up. I get the vibration when I press the power button, but nothing else.
How do I fix this?

You use wrong ftf file that is meant for Z2 phone. Download SGP511 .314 ftf file for example this one:https://mega.co.nz/#!kcxxjaLA!itErjRi2fYPPswal-c7XasF_lAvPKyY4GwEzY3xgHZ0 and flash it via Flashtool.

I keep getting a Decryption error when trying to download that file from mega.co.nz. I tried downloading their chrome app and it still doesnt decrypt the file.
Cool, I got it rooted, now to the TA backup step
To get download to work on mega.co.nz, I used a download manager JDownloader.
