Hello. I need help. Im on stock GB 4.0.2.a.0.62, stock kernel and rooted. I installed cwm using the playstore cwm(xpack?). It says the cwm is not permanent though.
I was trying to install the "HASA GB v6 beta all" using the cwm(i total wipe first), but forgot to flash the kernel first(rage kernel?), and now it wont boot.
I cant enter the cwm i guess because the cwm is not permanent.
I tried flashing official firmware back using flashtool but hang at "Reading device information"
I tried flashing the unbrickingxperia2011 ftf and flashing the firmware again but it still hang at the reading device.
Btw, my device can enter flashmode(green led) n fastboot(blue led).
Help please! Thanks a lot

Is your bootloader unlocked? If yes, just flash the kernel in fastboot mode and then you should be able to boot in cwm
You don't need to install cwm using xparts, all kernels have cwm included, so just flash a kernel you like and you have cwm :good:

No, you need to do try it again like that:
1. Go to flashtool installation folder -> drivers: install all drivers for all devices/modes
2. Launch flashtool
3. Click the flash -> flashmode
4. Select the .ftf, don't exclude anything, but tick "no final verification"
5. When the poup appears, take your phone, and take out the battery
6. After 10 seconds, reinsert the battery and hold volume down. While holding volume down connect the phone to your pc
7. Now the flashing should start and we can hope it'll work!
8. Boot up the phone, root it, install cwm, restore the backup!
On a locked bootloader, you can't flash a kernel. You need to choose a rom for locked bootloader and follow all instructions like given there :good:

First of all you don't need to try PC Companion as it won't work on an unlocked bootloader!
Have you tried flashing another kernel in fastboot mode?

It's not bricked, I think you need to reinstall a recovery. I recommend TWRP 2.5 instead of 2.6 because 2.5 has no bugs. Try to restore your nandroid backup (if you haven't any try one of these: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2324815 and choose your cid) and then flash SuperSU: http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu

Dude if its saying not rooted you were supposed to flash the supersu.zip in twrp and then update it then you would have root privleges you flashed a rom without root the supersu didnt you? And it basically bricked it so hold vol down and power boot into h boot go to recovery it will boot you into twrp check to see if you do have that supersu.zip if you have it flash it and you dont have s-off look in that rom package and find the kernel (boot.img) flash it and wipe your dalvic cache and your cache and it should boot into that rom but if you dont have that supersu.zip you mite have to side load it then flash it

Turn your phone into fastboot mode (holding power and volume down when turning on) and plug it into your pc.
Extract the zip file and run ''Install Boot.img.bat'' and reboot

Hi, I'm kind of a noob, so sorry if this is a dumb question.
I just installed the new Lollipop Fimware on my Z2, using Flashtool. Now I want to root the device, but reading through articles on XDA or XperiaBlog, they all said you need to use older firmware. So my question is, can you root the Z2 with Lollipop?
I'd be grateful for helpful answers.

Things needed:
PC, fastboot driver, know how to boot to bootloader(fastboot mode) and recovery mode
Now you can without having old kernel (not firmware)
go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/development/kernel-andropluskernel-v10-t2974841 extract boot.img from the zip file.
Boot your phone to fastboot mode and in command:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Go to recovery mode after restarting and then get UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip and flash it via newly installed TWRP recovery.

Same here. I'm a noob wanting to learn how to root. But this went over my head :/
Would using PRF creator work? If you bundled the lollipop firmware with supersu.zip and flashed it would it give you lolipop with root? Because this is what i did to update to 4.4.4 with root. For anyone that doesnt know PRF creator is a program which combines 3 files which is are firmware of your choice, a superSU.zip and a recovery.zip. It combines them into a .zip that you can flash in recovery and have the firmware with superSU and a custom recovery on it.
I have a locked bootloader and mines rooted, do you want me to say how?
If its on lollipop, i would very much like to know how.
Isn't this the exact same answer as rooting 4.4.4?
Downgrade to 4.4.2
Root
Install recovery
Install rooted lollipop zip in recovery
If you don't understand this or the method posted above don't root. Also, if.you can't google things like fastboot to understand what it is don't root.

Everything was fine, till i tried superSU. Twrp flashed it fine, but then when i tried to reboot, the device got stuck in a bootloop.
wipe cache/delvik also didnt help.
I have a new z2, then unlocked the bootloader, and then got the Norway rom using xperifirm.
Norway rom installed fine. twrp installed fine. But i am facing a bootloop now that i have flashed UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip
Anybody else face this issue?

try wiping just "Dalvik Cache" and restart again. I have also face similar strange issue when I was using FlashTool a couple of times.
If that doesn't work try normal wiping from TWRP and install firmware using FlashTool.

I'm no Android/Lollipop/Rooting expert but using an unlocked boot loader I was able to root Lollipop (23.1.A.0.690 ) easily using the kernel from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...ot-stock-flashable-kernel-23-1-0-690-t3061816
My steps were:
1. Install Lollipop
2. fastboot flash boot boot.img (to install above mentioned kernel with TWRP recovery)
So far so good.
PS: To use fastboot you'll likely need the drivers from flashtool (http://www.flashtool.net/index.php) and if on Win 8.1 you'll need to search for instructions on how to install unsigned drivers.

Is there root only for Baltic ROM? I am on Nordic and I want root is that possible?
Tested only in Xperia M4 Aqua E2303, you need UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER,steps:
1. download this recovery (thanks to @dani020110 and your corresponding boot (rename it to boot.img):
FOR E2303.
FOR E2333
FOR E2306
FOR E2353
FOR E2312
2. copy them inside the adb folder and boot into fastboot mode, type in the shell:
Code:
fastboot devices
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot
3. let the phone booting ,shut down and boot again in fastboot mode then:
Code:
fastboot devices
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
Now you have ROOT WITH LATEST SUPER SU 2.76 and custom Recovery.ENJOY
at you own risk .
Going to try that out tomorrow morning, it is already late in my country. But thanks you're a livesaver!

That's great! How did you get it working? And also, is there any way of making it for locked bootloaders aswell?

for locked bootloader we can't flash the recovery via fastboot, must includes both recovery and root in the rom.
But is it possible (for locked bootloader) to update using a pre-rooted zip with the old recovery? Or flashtool is needed to update something at bootloader level?
Hmm... Looks like i cant get root access, SuperSU app is working and everything but other apps cant get root access.

Just loading doesnt even ask me for root access. Looks like something is fcked up at my side. I tried reflashing still same. I will try reflashing firmware.
I was flashing paranoid android 6.0.2 for my device. I downloaded the zip(from the official paranoid android website) and checked the md5 checksum, which did not match. However, like a total idiot, I flashed it nonetheless. On booting, the phone gets stuck on the boot logo. I tried booting into recovery(TWRP) and performing a factory reset to no avail. I redownloaded the flashable zip for Paranoid, successfully verified the md5 checksum and flashed it again, no avail. Restore a full backup from within TWRP, no avail. My phone still gets stuck on the bootlogo. I have looked all over every forum without any results. Please help me out? I would like to get it back to functional state and flash the rom again. As mentioned, I have access to my custom recovery and can connect to my device via fastboot. I am willing to give any other information you may need.
Thanks!

Yeah thats d problem, PA roms are only compatible with old lollipop bootloader, u said u were in oos3 which means u hv updated to ur bootloader to marshmallow. Try clean flashing new bootloader supported roms. Before downloading check for its compatibility, all nougat roms r compatible.. U can try if u wish ))

That said, should I follow a bricked guide before doing the above?

Flash any 2.X.X ROM. One way is to fastboot flash old stock recovery and flash safest way I think. The other is to flash with twrp make sure after flashing the ROM to flash old twrp IMG after. Make sure you boot right back into twrp.

Assuming you're on OOS3 with TWRP for new bootloader,
- Boot into recovery
- Wipe everything except SD Card
- Flash OOS2 zip
- Boot into it
- Goto settings, unlock dev options, enable advanced reboot
- Then reboot to bootloader
- Flash twrp for old bootloader via fastboot, use this one https://dl.twrp.me/onyx/twrp-3.0.2-0-onyx.img
Done
-Now u hv sucessfully downgraded ur bootloader,flash PA or any supported roms
Used mega unbrick tool because I was unable to unlock bootloader and now I'm stuck at 1+ logo (powered by android disappears quickly), did you solve it?
edit: nevermind, adb sideload with stock OOS fixed it.
