Hey.
So I'm looking for a pre-rooted 4.0.2.A.0.62 kernel for my Ray. Where can I find it?
Thanks

Prerooted kernel? You mean the rom prerooted or a prerooted kernel?
If your bootloader is unlocked, flash a custom kernel for gingerbread like rage kernel, if it's locked you need to downgrade to root
I'm looking for the pre-rooted kernel only. I rooted my phone using the downgrade method, but it didn't turn out so well, also, I wasn't able to find any .42 specific to my location/released by my carrier, and it affected my signal strength.

There won't be a prerooted kernel, only if your bootloader is unlocked, then you can flash a prerooted kernel for gingerbread.
If it's locked, you could try to flash .42 kernel only and root on it. Afterwards flash .62 kernel again
So, mine is locked. Can I flash the kernel alone through Flashtool? Wouldn't that soft brick my device? Quote from this thread.
After flashing restart your device, It may not start completely, may remain at Sony logo or blank/black.
Whatever the status is, just restart your device and proceed with the next step.

If I'm not able to start the phone, how am I going to be able tor root it? The zorgRush exploit needs a working ROM.

It shouldn't brick your device and I think you should be able to root it when it's in a bootloop, otherwise they won't write it in a tutorial. With doomlord's toolkit or with flashtool it should work :good:
The trick didn't work. I wasn't able to root after downgrading the firmware. Maybe it only works with ICS. Anyway I'll just live with the bloatware for now.
Thanks
Thread moved. All questions belong here in Q&A.

4.0.2.A.0.42 can be rooted with the GB rooting kit. It is here on the forum, Search for it.
After that you can do OTA update to 4.0.2.A.0.62, if your bootloader is locked.
I would just like to return to stock rooted please help thank you
What are you on now?
do you have recovery?
Do you have a locked bootloader?
Do you want pure stock or would you consider a modified stock like DoggRom or monx

There's not much between DoggRom and stock, and that would be my preference, Just flash from recovery with a wipe
For pure stock you could read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2576006
Just flash .290 ftf for your device
then follow the first post.

If you are going the ftf route then there is no need to wipe before hand, the options are in flashtool (I just use default)
FTF's can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2453921

Question for you. I have an unlocked Sony XZU C6806, running stock 4.3. I am trying to achieve root so I can flash custom roms. Do you know where I go for that?
Ok, now i'm really confused.
I'm currently on 757 firmware and I want to flash the GPe on it. What exactly do I have to do?
LordManhattan's thread simply requires me to flash some files but the GPe thread needs me to flash boot.img or something.
Can anyone coach me step by step? I've never tried to flash a darn phone with so many prerequisites... It was so much easier playing with the LG and hTc

From stock 757 with unlocked bootloader:
Copy ROM zip to sdcard of phone
Flash boot.img from the ROM zip using flashtool and fastboot mode. the boot.img will have recovery already in it
Boot the phone into recovery, vol + or - while booting
Factory reset (or format data and wipe caches
Flash the ROM zip from recovery
Reboot into system
I assume you have followed lordmanhattan's guide and have:
Downgraded
Rooted
Backed up TA
Unlocked bootloader
Updated firmware to the latest

So it is okay to directly downgrade from 757?
And what do you mean by updated firmware to the latest?
And the boot.img in the ROM package, does it already contain the recovery?

You want to downgrade to root? if so then yes - see my downgrade sticky thread in the general section for a guide
After rooting/backing up TA/unlocking bootloader you will want to flash the latest firmware again to get the new baseband, and a few other things else any custom 4.3 or 4.4 ROM's won't boot and/or will have IMEI issues

Ok to be honest, im trying to flash that ROM because the recent 757 firmware was supposed to fix the sound bug issue. It worked for others' ZU except for mine. Pretty pissed that all SONY said to me was to bring my phone down for a repair, hence i was hoping i could fix it by flashing another ROM.
I downgraded to .532 then updated it back to 757. Seems like it is a hardware problem...
WOW. I'M AN IDIOT. I DECIDED TO WASH MY PHONE UNDER THE TAP BECAUSE IT WAS A LITTLE DIRTY. AND SOMEHOW, THAT FIXED THE SOUND BUG. SOMEONE PLEASE SLAP ME IN THE FACE.
Close this thread please, I'm an idiot. Thanks blueether for your help!
You don't read very well do you?
All the steps needed were there with an explanation of why (where needed).
Next time you you need/want to flash your ZU take the time to read the steps, and ask questions if you aren't sure about a step or why some said to do something a certain way or to see a certain thread...
ps good to see you have the sound working again

Correct, but only the tweaked version. That's an isolated case though, so the rest of them will have recovery.

Hi...I'm in the same position as you...can you please explain how exactly you managed to fix it?
For reference, my C6802 was on stock .757 firmware, then I flashed the unofficial SlimKat rom and kernel from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2712065. Everything works in the rom except it doesnt connect to my mobile network.

Not the same issue ( or at least shouldn't be).
In about phone settings do you have a valid imei no. and baseband?
Have you tried any other ROMs?

Thanks for the response blueether! In the phone settings it says Unknown for both baseband and imei. I found this thread where you helped another person with almost the same problem I guess, (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2738141) and you have told him to follow these steps:
"Just do as has been said a thousand times...
Downgrade to .532 - see my downgrade thread
Root using either [NUT]'s dual recovery or bin4ries tool - see thread in step above or LordManhattans guide
Backup the TA - see LordManhattons guide
Upgrade to latest FTF
Unlock bootloader
Root using jackies099's kernel
..."
So I'm downloading a .532 FTF and will try out these steps once the download finishes in a while. As I understand, when I upgrade to the latest FTF (.757 now?) the imei/baseband should return.

IMEI/baseband should be fine if you were on 757 and flashed slim.
You could just try reflashing any 4.4 FTF you have laying around while you wait for the other one to download

Not sure why they vanished. Unfortunately I'm sort of a noob and don't have any FTFs lying around. I read some more threads and now I'm wondering what I should try first?
A - Flash 290 FTF then downgrade to 532
or
B - Straightaway flash 532 FTF
or
C - Flash 757 FTF

"flash 290" was written a long time ago when it was the 'current' firmware. I would flash 757 first and see how that works out.
From Canada using the unbranded Canadian (North American) region firmware (4.4.4 stock).
My question is, will I run into any issues if I flash a rooted Rom of 4.4.4 (I believe the two roms available are both based off the RUssian region firmware)?
Or are all regions essentially the same apart from apn settings, etc?
Should I wait until someone builds a 4.4.4 rooted flashable zip based off the north American region firmware?
Any info is appreciated. Thanks in advance

Bootloader is locked, but is unlockable. I've already backed up my ta partition when I rooted 314, but prefer to keep my bootloader locked anyways. At least until my 1 year warranty runs out through Sony.

Upgrading to 4.4.4 on LB from 314
1. Flash 4.4.4 Rom Of your choice
2. Flash superSU just incase
~You can try flashing Nut's dual recovery (not sure if it works)
3. Use flashtool to Flash a 4.4.4 FTF excluding system.sin
I'm already on 167 stock though. I updated through pcc. So I guess I have to downgrade to 314 in order to root and flash a recovery.

1. There is this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/one-click-root-tool-android-2-x-5-0-t3107461. But it ain´t give proper root and there is also some security concerns with it but your decision.
2. Yes. You need FTF file which is 4.4.2 firmware for you device. Latest rootable is 17.1.2.A.0.314. Here is download link for SGP 521 if you want. https://mega.co.nz/#!cN5ykLrL!0w38j4lWIHFm1rZdwexScG9Cpz2BghrSZPpLRkyTcL8 . However your link should work also. If you only use it for rooting it don´t have to be for your region.
3. Your link would work for rooting properly. However there is other methods too.
4. After you achieved root just install custom recovery for you device and flash latest prerooted firmware for your device with it and you are good.

There is no need to unlock bootloader if you just want to root your device. Bootloader unlocking is needed if you want to try custom kernels or roms that use custom kernels. And yes this work for your device also.

Yes you can downgrade to 4.4.2 firmware with locked bootloader. After that you don´t need kingroot to root your device because @[NUT]´s dualrecovery pc installer can root your device before it install custom recovery. After that you can flash prerooted firmware (= .zip file) with custom recovery. Usually prerooted stock roms has whole firmware including kernel. Their also include SuperSu and custom recovery. And there is no need to unlock your bootloader in any step for this unless you want to do that.
OK so I flashed a ftf file from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3061431 I don't think its right as its for HK etc. A 4.4.2 ftf. 17.1.a.2.402 HK/sa/as/kw.
I was on 23.1.A.1.28 in the UK as O2 UK being the 4g network. But according to that thread the 23.1.a.1.28 I was on is generic HK so I'm confused. How can I get back to my original then? Thanks

OK thanks I did it without the ta partition like suggested but wasn't sure if it was 100% correct. Should all be fine though. I'm currently now rooted and all fine but what I want to do is have a Pre rooted flashable zip of my ftf I've made so it is my actual stock ROM I'm running. I've looked into the prfcreator but don't wanna do it and run the risk of bricking my z2 tab. Have you used prfcreator? I guess all I need is my ftf file to use. The most update supersu zip I want. And then I need to somehow have the xzdualrecovery.zip but not sure if that's all I need or if I need the current Sony signed kernel or what. Thanks

OK thanks I did it without the ta partition like suggested but wasn't sure if it was 100% correct. Should all be fine though. I'm currently now rooted and all fine but what I want to do is have a Pre rooted flashable zip of my ftf I've made so it is my actual stock ROM I'm running. I've looked into the prfcreator but don't wanna do it and run the risk of bricking my z2 tab. Have you used prfcreator? I guess all I need is my ftf file to use. The most update supersu zip I want. And then I need to somehow have the xzdualrecovery.zip but not sure if that's all I need or if I need the current Sony signed kernel or what. Thanks

Must admit reading up more looks pretty straight forward as I just use NUTz xzdualrecovery flashable zip as the recovery zip. I'm just unsure on whether I would need to check kernel otakernel modem and ltalabel for our device. Thanks

Depending what you want but if you include everything else but signing you end up to fully functional prerooted firmware.

Sorry mate if I use my ftf and super su.zip and xzdualrecovery.flashable.zip then add all checks do I also have to get it signed? Or I can do all checks and not need signing and it will be fine...? Sorry mate first time and all just trying to work out different things thank you.

No need to be sorry. You don't need to sign your zip because TWRP can handle unsigned zip files just fine. There is nothing wrong to sign your zip file but some times it can cause problems. Your choice.
