Hey guys, I have a soft bricked tablet. Everything work good, but fastboot commands.
Is there a way to flash a pre-rooted ROM with Sony FlashTool?

Did you upgrade to Marshmallow?
When I was on Lollipop, I accidentally activated myXperia (which was stupid of me) and I got errors from fastboot commands like yours. But when I upgraded to Marshmallow, I was able to successfully disable myXperia and this resulted in me being able to unlock the bootloader and finally root my device.
So try upgrading to Marshmallow if you haven't.

Hi Riveria and Farfetch, may I ask which version of Marshmallow that can help on re-enable the bootloader unlock? I have tried to flash the following marshmallow:
SGP771_Benelux Generic_1295-6964_32.1.A.1.163_R3C
SGP771_Customized MEA_1295-0785_32.1.A.1.185_R5C
SGP771_Customized HK_1296-4830_32.2.A.0.305_R9C

SO-05G_32.1.E.1.71_1297-4710_R17C
SO-05G_32.1.E.1.98_1297-4710_R19C
Both cannot help to re-enable bootloader unlock (my Z4T has bootloader unlock allowed: no). Can you help to give me more hints? Thanks a lot! :crying:

Dear users.
I would like to go back to a 100% stock C6802 ultra but cannot find how.
I used the flash tool to flash .510 (Was on my machine already) and everything worked great, phones boots and looks good.
Only when i update to .532 witch Sony Bridge it say's i am on a custom firmware and for that he cannot update my phone.
Same goed for the Sony update tool on Windows.
i had other boot.img's on the phone for CWM, maybe that is the issue?
Can someone tell me how i can go back to 100% stock.
(I don't know if i need it in this step, but i got a TA backup)
Please let me know.
Thnx in advance.
Maybe it will help you

If you unlocked via classrooms then you can relock with it too. All under the bLU button. You might need to just need to insert your unlock code in flashtools to make it work.

OK got it. Thank you.
So I pressed unlock bootloader (insert unlock code).The flashtool unlocked my bootloader "second time". And after restarted Flashtool, I saw relock option.
Regards
Same here. I did a unlock manual trough fastboot so FlashTool did not see it as unlocked.
After inlocking again trough flashtool i was able to relock trough BLU.
I am back unlockd btw. An on Panadroid

You need to downgrade to 4.4.2 for root.
I don't need to. I just unlocked ? the bootloader and flashed the system with a CM Based recovery. After that I installed Chainfires SuperSu via SD card. Works for me, Android 4.4.4

Yea sorry flashed the device by accident while I installed the CM Recovery. Had to install everything again but now it works.
It was just a poor question.
If you do not want to unlock your bootloader, you need to flash 4.4.2 rom
If you do want to unlock your bootloader, you need to flash a new kernel.
Either way there is flashing involved. It just depends on what you meant by your original question.
Just thought that flashing the device is not needed. But I was wrong. Unlocking the bootloader was no problem.

Did you backup your ta partition first before unlocking bootloader so you dont lose your drm keys and warranty etc?
Is anyone willing to put together easy to follow rooting guide for Xpreria Z4 Tablet?
I am a new owner of said tablet and so far I am little lost still.
So far I have figured out that I need to unlock bootloader trough Sony developer website and then flash AndroPlusKernel v21 +, TWRP, SuperUser...
My tablet is currently running Android 5.0.2 (Build 280.A.8.260) and I am itching to upgrade to Marshmallow. Can I flash AndroPlusKernel once I upgrade to Marshmallow or do it now? I own Xpreria Z3 phone and rooting needs to be done on lower Android versions because otherwise one needs to downgrade first to root and then flash modified ROM.

Hi,
Unlocking bootloader causes a factory reset. So you lose the update to MM (I'm not sure after all
After that see my post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/z4-...ooting-attempt-using-androplus-t3331928/page2

I suggest
doing an OTA update to MM while on stock (this is the easiest update path)
make sure MyXperia is OFF at all times
unlock bootloader through Sony (tablet will be wiped)
flash AndroPlus Kernel (v20+)
flash TWRP (see AndroPlus Kernel topic)
flash SuperSU
make absolutely sure MyXperia is OFF at all times
Optional: donate a bit to AndroPlus and Chainfire, or buy some of their apps / Pro licenses, to thank them for their hard work

Perfect, done! I'm running rooted Marshmallow now. Many thanks!
I want to do exactly the same and have some questions.
Is app "MyXperia" installed in MM ? I'm asking because I cant find it any more.
Is it possible and safe completely uninstall "MyXperia" it after root MM ?
Any advices ?

I can see my Xperia in Settings/Security on Marshmallow where it gives you an option to activate it.
I don't see it among apps where it could be disabled or uninstalled...
Everything sounds good but:
How do you boot into recovery?
How can you flash SU from Fastboot?
I'm stock in that step, please help.

Once you flash recovery, restart your tablet and press volume down button when the white screen with SONY Xperia is on and "yellowish/greenish" LED lights up. The LED will turn orange and tablet will enter recovery. While in recovery, flash SuperSU that you have previously downloaded and saved on your tablet.

Hey!
recently flashed the Autralian MM FTF onto my Z2 D6503!
Now i miss my loved apps like Greenify, Lucky Patcher, Intelli3G, XPOSED, a custom recovery, amplify and so on. I tried to root it using KingRoot4.6 (sucsessfully) and then used Supersume.apk to replace the kingroot app with supersu. but after every reboot i need to root it again, which means my methode isn``t working problery! How can i root it? i really want SuperSU, Busybox, Xposed and the [NUT`s] Dual Recovery!
thats the build:
D6503_23.5.A.0.570_1281-9715_R4D
It depends on weather you want to unlock your bootloader or not
I typically flash a Kernel with recovery then flash systemless root but you do require a unlocked bootloader to do it this way
You could downgrade to KK, use a root tool to install root and recovery then use recovery to upgrade to a pre-rooted MM

Afaik the only way for the moment, it's to downgrade to a previous version, then flash a MM pre rooted rom.

You can use a tool called PRFCreator, you will need a SuperSu zip and a FTF of your choice

I tried to do that (downgrading to KK, rooting, dual recovery, making a flashable pre rooted MM) but ended up with bootloops. Tried to flash a stock however I, with difficulty, could only flash KK again. This time I used wirelessly downloaded all the software updates.
I think I will wait some time, till a better way exists.
There is a pre-rooted MM in the forum, I've tried earlier. But it is for D6503, not my d6502. It has a 3g fix, but in About Phone, it reads D6503. And root isn't working there as well. or perhaps I was doing something wrong.
I'm starting to think that MM isn't root-friendly

You will get the root soon for MM. This is why I hate Sony devices. Updates also comes late and rooting also comes late. Fed-up with this z2. Gonna go with Samsung
