Hey everyone, I've been using my hox+ rooted for some time now, never flashed a ROM and was wondering if I update to the new att software will I lose root?
Yes. Just make sure you have a custom recovery and flash the root installer zip. Or if you have TWRP, after a the flash, it will ask to install root.
Hey thanks for the response, I'm running twrp 2.4 the thing is I don't know whether to to let the phone update through its regular way of updating or do I flash this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2235248, the problem with flashing this is I don't
Know how to flash boot IMG. Sorry I'm a noob any help would be greatly appreciated.
Use this command in fastboot.
fastboot flash boot /location/of/boot.img
If your bootloader is unlock and your phone has a custom Recovery, the official AT&T update won't install on your phone. If you want the update, or you wait for a custom ROM with the update to be available, or you relock bootloader, and flash the latest RUU to recover the original state of your phone. Then you can still unlock with the same token and install a custom recovery to root your device.
Thanks much fellas, you've been a great help!
hey guys I have just flash an android 5.0.2 ROM that doesnt have recovery or superuser and the root apps that i install say that i need root access. i own an xperia s with unlocked bootloader and i received a message from the dev saying i need to install recovery in the fota kernel and i dont know how to do that. So what my question is that can I flash the .img file of recovery using flashtool as the kernel stuff like fota is just complicated for me. please help! I love android 5.0 and always wanted it and i came across this problem and i need help fixing it :crying:
Hello, I recently bought an xperia Z2 from someone that had it from the french operator Orange.
Running on a heavily bloated lollipop 5.0.2 with a build number of 23.1.A.1.28 D6503 with a locked unlockable bootloader
Being a samsung user all my life, this seems a new territory to me, I first wanted to clean everything up and have it running on CM12, that seems impossible because of the bootloader lock.
Then I failed rooting it and got really confused. the device also doesnt boot into recovery AT ALL
Can you please help me root the hell out of it and clean all the crap that Orange put in it? and also would you please suggest a debloated clean stock rom(kitkat is preferred)
Thank you so much for your time, I'm looking forward for you replies
Use KingRoot for rooting,install BusyBox, then install custom dual recovery with XZRecovery finally flash SuperSU zip with recovery , here's a link for all the files needed http://www.mediafire.com/download/894tuibsb2a75bm/wts.zip
Well, my dear friend, I failed twice doing that, now im running a clean factory reset and going to try again, will let you know
Flash android version 4.4.2, root this version and then flash the firmware of your choice via recovery (make sure it is a prerooted one, that comes in a Flashable Zip form)
As I know, Sony devices doesn't have accessible stock recovery
You can boot into recovery only after installing custom recovery like :
TWRP - CWM - Philiz Touch
If I Helped, Leave A Thanks ?
So, I think I finally did it. I broke my phone.
I wanted to flash the new Existenz Rom 6.0 and the flashing worked fine. The phone started and it got stuck in the Xperia logo. I than downloaded the Bootloop Fix. To make sure nothing goes wrong I wanted to do another factory reset. Somehow, my phone uses two roms (Philz custom recovery or something like that (I flashed the rom with this) and a TWRP Recovery). My phone booted into the TWRP (which it usually doesn't do) Recovery and I thought "Well, I can do a factory reset here". So I did the advanced reset but after restarting I can't access anything! When I turn it on, there is still the Sony Logo but if I press up and down I can't access none of the custom recoverys. I'm truly desperate and I can't afford a new phone. Can someone help me how to fix this?
@DerDokktor
XZDR and similar recoveries for locked bootloader reside in /system partition , when you wiped your system you also wiped the recovery...
You'll need to flash an .ftf firmware with flashtool to recover your phone. If you want root and a locked bootloader flash a KK or LP ftf (as MM is not rootable yet), then root it with kingroot or something else you like, install XZDR from your computer and then you can go to the recovery again and flash existenz rom or any prerooted rom you want.
You could also flash a MM .ftf directly but then you won't be able to root it without unlocking your BL.
If you need help with flashtool follow this guide:
http://www.xperiablog.net/2015/03/1...peria-lollipop-using-xperifirm-and-flashtool/
Edit: the first steps of this guide are to create your own .ftf , if you already have an .ftf downloaded you can go straight to the "Now that the FTF firmware file has been created, you need to flash your Sony Xperia device." section of the guide.
Ok so Let me go through the whole story. I wanted to root my Xperia z3 tablet compact SPG611 and I was being a bit of a noob so I opened the bootloader and I was so eager so I get on to rooting as I did it before on my Xperia z3 but on that I dropped it and it broke sooo... but yeah I went to this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/z3...ment/advanced-stock-kernel-twrp-root-t2959720 and flashed this onto my tablet. But I had 2 problems I was in a boot loop but I was able to go to recovery and the twrp is at v2.7.1.0 so my clever self decided to wipe everything, I mean everything off of the tablet and I didn't back up. This meant that I had no os installed and I can't download a custom rom because there is always a problem, mainly cannot execute updater-binary when I flash paranoid. Also when I flash a newer version of twrp through fast boot it says finished okay but doesn't update on my tablet.
So I'm basically asking has anyone either got a way of updating twrp or a download for another recovery and has anyone got either a stock rom or a custom rom that they dowloaded on a Xperia z3 tablet compact SPG611 that actually worked.
Sorry for the long issue but can someone please help it would be the most appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
I always embed both twrp, SuperSU and Xposed Framework inside the kernel with the Rootkernel script. The only downside is that you have to use this procedure when updating Xposed and SuperSU.
After you created the patched kernel, just flash the kernel with fastboot. After that you have twrp (and SuperSU and Xposed if you included those).
