Hey guys im having trouble finding the OTA update.zip file from the google servers. Any chance any of you might have it or a link to it? I need to do some things with a friend's Eris but its at 1.5.
An easy way to install Amon-Ra recovery would also be nice though and would eliminate my need for the 2.1 OTA zip file. The universal one click root method that also installs RA-Eris recovery does not install for some reason. I figured i needed to update the phone first. It wont update OTA as it has been flashed to MetroPCS.

Can't you just check for updates on the 1.5 phone and receive it that way?
maybe?

The OTA is not being sent out AFIK. you maybe could use the rom setup to bring you back to stock 2.1 from a rooted froyo --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=792026 then go to root from this step.
*EDIT* They have to be rooted already to use this with Amon-Ra, sorry for not stating that earlier.

Anyways, ive found a solution. Ill just root it at 1.5. The process installs Ra-eris recovery so after that ill flash a custom 2.1 ROM and be good to go for what i need. Thanks guys.
alright, how bad did I screw up here? Got the OTA notification last night, read nothing but good things and most keeping root through the process. I missed an important detail of using the OTA rootkeeper. So I'm currently on the latest update and lost root. I've tried one click 1.1 to no avail so far. I am unlocked and was rooted prior, but never got around to installing a recovery (hadn't found a ROM I was quite happy with enough to lose all my data just yet)
So.. all that said, is there a root option for the latest OTA yet?

Yes, all you need to do is flash Amon Ra through fastboot and reboot to recovery .. under the developer menu option on Amon Ra you have the option to install SU and superuser . Just run that and reboot you would have to unlock of course to install Amon Ra
Looks like I'm installing AmonRa today. Thanks!!!! I'm from a moto world where CWM and SPR are all we had.. the feature to install SU binary from recovery is new to me haha

Odd, do you have the superuser app in your app drawer ? Otherwise , I heard to download it from the market and it will work .
I did it this way and I read about it from others that did it this was as well.
I need some help, please - I may have made a very bad assumption here...
I just got my Rezound today (upgrading from a Thunderbolt). I saw the stickied thread about how (relatively) easy it was to perm-root the phone after the bootloader was unlocked, and I assumed that this all still applied after getting the OTA update (not realizing that the OTA update was JUST released - my assumption was that it was older and already dealt with).
So I got the OTA first thing after activating the phone, THEN unlocked the bootloader, THEN tried to root via One Click - I tried both OneClickRoot_1.1 and Super OneClick 2.3.3.0, but it doesn't seem to be working.
I'm getting "Permission denied" errors on mounts and "read-only file system" errors for CHMods and file copies during the Zerg Rush process. It says "Congrats you are now perm rooted", but it doesn't seem to be true - I was able to install SuperUser from the market, but the BusyBox installer says it can't find the su binaries, so I'm not convinced SuperUser is actually working.
Considering that I never had root access to the phone prior to installing the OTA, is there anything I do besides waiting for one or more of the root tools to be updated to deal with the new OTA?

I would try the rooted stock rom, but just not sure why it didn't work for you . I did all the steps you did and I was rerooted afterwards. Are you getting the pop up for superuser when an app asks for permission ? Sorry, was trying to be helpful
got it.. had to attempt the SU install twice.. also reboot DIRECTLY from recovery, do NOT reboot back to bootloader. I think that's what killed it for me. And yes in the end I did have to install the superuser app from the market to get it working again.

I'm having a serious issue here - for unknown reasons (I have NOT installed any ROMS or ANY non-OTA updates whatsoever), my Rezound is no longer able to connect to Verizon's network, for data or voice (it just says "no service"; WiFi works fine). As I said in my previous post on the previous page, I just got the phone today, and was trying to use OneClick to root my phone, but it isn't working because of the OTA update, and at some point I think the radio got screwed up.
So my intended remedy was to download the rooted stock rom and install that, but, naturally, it doesn't pass signature verification on the stock recovery. So I tried to follow another set of instructions to get AmonRa recovery installed, but the bootloader keeps rejecting the PH98IMG.zip file, telling me (depending on which one I try to use) that there's "no image or wrong image" or "Main Version is older! Update Fail!". Furthermore, I tried to extract the PH98IMG.zip file from the rooted stock rom file that I downloaded from the link on this site, but that zip file is corrupted (it won't open on my PC, even after I re-downloaded the rom).
Can someone help me figure out how to get AmonRa installed? From there, I can hopefully get the rooted stock rom installed. OR, at the very least, help me run a radio update so the phone will at least work until an easier root method becomes available?
Thanks.

I got the rooted ota rom installed easily, and better yet, the root worked perfectly. The problem is, I still can't connect to any wireless networks (aside from wifi).
I used the tool linked in the previous response to flash a boot.img I got out of this thread (specifically, the stock 2.01.605.11 w/ 1/26 OTA), but still nothing.
Any thoughts?

back. After reboot, I installed superuser from market, then updated the binary.
Titanium Backup now works and I can confirm regaining root after the OTA update. To protect myself from this in the future, I have installed OTA RootKeeper. OTA RootKeeper has been confirmed to backup superuser and is a simple way of restoring superuser after an OTA.
I did not have to backup anything on the internal sdcard, as I did not lose any data through this process, but it never hurts to do it, just in case. I am running the stock Rom, and unlocked through HTC-dev.
Thanks to con247 and andybones for pointing me in the right direction.
I am not responsible for any issues with your phone, so proceed at your own risk.
Anyone know where I can find the AT&T Factory ROM i forgot to do a backup and need to put this ROM back on the device.
i can not find it.maybe few months later,you can get it here.
Is it weird that there's no RUU? It's been a while since I had an GTC phone so I don't remember how long it took to have one on a new phone.

I feel like it is weird, though the One is the only device I got close to release. My Vivid and Inspire were both purchased a few months after release, and iirc the ATT RUUs were available when I got it, but I guess that doesn't mean they were available at release.

Actually, this leads to a nagging question I have as a first time rooter. I want to use the stock ATT Rom, but root the phone so I can install apps than requre root access and am all about taking back total contole of my device.
SO If I want to keep the stock rom and just root it, I would need to back up the device?
So if someone could throw me a bone How would I gain root access to the device whilst keeping the stock ROM?
I plan on using Hasoon's Tool kit.

flash the stock rom through recovery and then flash superuser.zip in recovery. boom. rooted on stock
If you are completely stock then Once you unlock your bootloader flash twrp recovery. Then boot to recovery. Then reboot from recovery. Twrp is smart enough to recognize you don't have root and prompt you to install superuser and binaries. After that I found a busybox flashable zip via google, as the busybox installer from the market wouldn't work for me. This leaves you on a stock odexed Rom with root. Note that unlocking your bootloader will wipe data..so backup anything important first

If you flash stock recovery successfully and you try to boot to said recovery, you won't have any options to do anything. I never cared to look at it on this device but usually all you'll see is a triangle with an exclamation point. That's stock recovery. If you want to flash anything, you can't use stock

I don't think anyone's still following this thread, but did you relock the bootloader before returning it? i was thinking of just flashing recovery back. I don't think anyone at the store would bother to look at that anyway. Whenever I go there, the employees seem to know less than nothing about phones lol.
Hi There,
I'm running a rooted version of KitKat 4.4.4 on my Z2 (23.0.1.A.0.167) and I was just wondering about the process of upgrading to a rooted version of Lollipop. Can I just upgrade using the standard method (from the settings menu) and retain root access? Or will I have to flash an entirely new Lollipop ROM onto the device and then root that separately?
I'm in no rush for Lollipop so I'm happy to wait for the official upgrade, but if it won't be possible or will mess up my device then I'd rather just do whatever it takes to get it flashed.

I guess your bootloader is still intact, if so you're good to go. You will will only lose root when you update to lollipop through OTA.
On the other hand, if you've unlocked your bootloader and probably have a custom kernel, then I'm afraid ota will not work.
Hope this helps.

If the desired outcome is root on lollipop, don't do ota.
Install recovery (if you don't have one) and flash a rooted lollipop zip through recovery.

I think I have recovery, though I can't remember to be honest. I followed a guide here when I rooted my Z2.
If I flash a rooted L zip does this mean I'll lose all my apps/data? I remember that I did when I rooted 4.4.4 but the process was such a headache that I can't remember which parts required wiping everything from my phone.
Also, is there a ROM version you'd recommend? Is the current one stable or should I wait a little while longer for a better one?
Google recovery and Xperia to see videos of how to get into recovery to find out if you have it.
You don't 'need' to wipe, but it's always advised. Before I flash I do a nandroid backup and wipe and recovery specific app data with nandroid manager.
Have a look at the dev section, there is a rooted stock lollipop room there. lollipop is stable and awesome.

Yea that's what I was referring to. Once 5.1 comes out you'll need to do the same thing to keep root so it's up to you if you do it once or twice.

What would happen depends on what you've done:
Best case nothing happens
Medium case apps misbehave
Worst case bootloop
It is possible and give it a go. Make sure you do a backup first and copy the backup to your computer just in case. If bad things happen, recovery the backup and try again another way.

Okay perfect, thanks for that. One last question though, in that thread with the Lollipop ROM someone mentioned that you could lose your recovery if you install it (I guess because of a bug or something). Will this affect me if I want to install 5.1 later on?
Not really. You'll just need to get back to a ROM with recovery for locked bootloader or wait until they get recovery working on locked bootloader on 5.0

Yes my bootloader is unlocked, I used the Sony method. I didn't think I could flash a rooted ROM without it to be honest.
Hmm, I think I'm confusing recovery with Bootloader though here. I thought Recovery was part of the bootloader unlocking process and was separate from the ROM. Kind of like a small management interface to flash new ROMs and manage the device from the boot partition.
Does anyone have an answer to the above? I'm just trying to make sense of the process here.
What do you want to know? What the bootloader is?

I'd really like to know what 'recovery' is exactly and how it differs from either a ROM or a bootloader. I understand the Xperia Z2 stock rooted Lollipop ROM has no recovery, so I want to know what exactly that means and what the implications are in the event I choose to upgrade to 5.1 in the future.

OTA update does not wipe the entire phone, you need to download the full update and manually wipe your phone and install the Full update to totally remove SuperSu.
You could also uninstall SuperSU from the apps settings before taking the OTA to avoid this problem

OTA update does not wipe the entire phone, you need to download the full update and manually wipe your phone and install the Full update to totally remove SuperSu.

So what should I do now, I had already downloaded the update thinking it would fix it. I guess I try to manually uninstall it, seeing as the supersu app has already gone?

It won't let me enter the supersu app it's telling me there's no supersu binary.

No, I have a stock recovery ATM, to play Pokemon go you need to be unrooted but somehow I am detected as rooted

Two possible ways imo...
If you don't want to root then
Extract and manually flash stock boot.img, Cust.img and system.img and you are good to go without any data loss (but make a backup to be sure if something goes wrong).
Second is to root your phone, and use an app like 'hide my root' to hide your root from Pokemon go and you are good to go.
The third is to root and unroot using the inbuilt function of SuperSU.
