Hi, I've already searched the forums, and there's no posts about Sony RIC killer for 5.1.1 or even a kernel for 5.1.1 that disables RIC, I'm using a stock kernel, does anyone have a zip that I can flash? please, I really need it . I have an unlocked bootloader with TWRP recovery and also a SuperSU
Never mind, I found one on github, it works for all Zx phones (I guess? since it says it's for Xperia Zx)

I still have android 4.4.2 on my device cuz my phone is rooted and i have heard i will loose root if i upgrade to 4.4.4. I simply don't want to root again. I have super su pro and survival mode is enabled. I also have xposed framework installed with gravity box and greenify modules. I have heard i can't upgrade unless i uninstall xposed. So my question is, can i upgrade without losing root n having xposed? Has anybody successfully done it? N yeah i have twrp recovery.
Thanks in advance
Has anybody got the stock firmware of Moto E Indian version? The file is named "Android 4.4.2
Blur_Version.20.11.14.condor_retaildsds.retaildsdsall.en.03" and can be downloaded from http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=34
But that site doesn't support resume and is slow as hell and download always fails and restarts from the beginning. So it's literally impossible for me to download from there. Either give me an alternative link to that file (Googled a lot, found no mirror) or someone please kindly extract recovery.img from the ZIP of the firmware and post it here.
Thanks in advance.
I know I have to reflash stock recovery in order to be able to upgrade to 4.4.4.
I have manually flashed the 4.4.4 version of android using TWRP and using the OTA update from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e/general/4-4-4-ota-update-zip-file-t2811397 which has been modified and made flashable with TWRP. Many thanks to Gogeta.
Problem is sorted out.
This thread maybe closed.
Is there a way to root my Xperia Z2 (4.4.4) without unlock its bootloader?
Or else better, is there a way to back-up the bootloader before the unlock?
I ask because I want to root it without set a custom Rom.
Thanks in advance.
There is. You've got to downgrade to for example 4.4.2, root your phone, create a pre-rooted version of 4.4.4 and then flash that. There is a much more detailed guide around here, so I recommend that you check that out
To back up your ta partition you will need root first.
In stead of creating a rooted rom you can also find some prerooted here in the development forum.
-Use flashtool to downgrade to 4.4.2
-Root and install recovery with one of the available root methods (towelroot for example)
-Use recovery to flash a rooted 4.4.4 zip, recovery (again) and SU (again)
-Reboot
-Test network connection, if 4g is not working, use flashtool to flash a local 4.4.4 baseband
That's all.
I heard that for rooting it's required to have unlocked bootloader. Is that true?
(I have seen the root guide in forum, but I don't think that it mentions the bootloader)
My problem is that I want to upgrade the phone without errors (when sony has updates). I say that because a friend of mine has a rooted Nexus 5 with unlocked bootloader and he can't install the last update.It gives him a bootloop and returns to the previous. This is something I don't want.
Thanks in advance.
Unlucking is not needed.
Official updates should work if you're on a 100% stock rom, but updates are generally available as flashable rooted zip, here in the forums, long before you get an official update available from Sony.
So that should be no problem.
Biggest issue here that people dont search howto root on locked bl, that is possible, search and read then you will have it, example like the installations steps of a modded stock rom

Hi
Could somebody guide me, because I'm a little confuse looking through the forum.
I want to upgrade my tablet with custom ROM (CM 12 Nightly ROM).
My tablet has unlocked bootloader; build nr: 23.0.1.A.0.167, and kernel version: 3.4.0-perf-gd4d661a
I’d like to know, how to root my tablet;
How To Install A Custom Recovery;
How to flash CM 12 Nightly ROM.
Could anybody show me the links where can I find all this solution.
Since your bootloader is unlocked flash the advanced stock kernel and flash advanced stock kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=57192065
You can flash root script and dual recovery to have an updated recovery. Then flash cm 12.

I also want to root my SGP611, but I don't need a custom ROM. How can I achieve this?
And should I leave my bootloader locked or not? Because after reading some threads here, I have the feeling that either you
1. Flash rootable system image; then root via giefrootv then backup ta; then flash back original firmware; then unlock via Sony's official method; then somehow some more confusing steps to gain root
Or
2. I skip unlocking bootloader (DMR keys unharmed) , but what should I do to gain root access? Does giefroot (exploit) work with Kk (4.4.4)? Didn't somebody say that the exploit is already patched? And what about the xdualrecovery thing? It didn't mention that it's compatible with SGP611...
Ok so i have a xperia z2 tablet spg512 i need help to root it seems.
Code:
Current state of tablet: stock rom,stock recovery,[B]unlocked[/B] bootloader i think? as least it was but i soft bricked it and flashed stock 4.4.4 in flashtool so maybe it relocked? anyone know?
i tried to install twrp 2.8.7.0 but it won't boot. i heard about you need to flash another boot.img so i tried cm12 boot.img but it just soft bricked and i fixed it with flashtool. i just want crdroid on it. anyone can help me on whatsapp or hangouts? thx. also i know about rooting and have rooted alot of things also flashed ALOT of custom roms and recoveryies. but this confuses me.
And if you wanna help me over chat (I rather prefer that as its faster) put your whatsapp number here in thread or google mail in here or pm me.
Found it out! i flashed cwm 6.0.4.6 (Oldest version) and it worked fine so i flashed crdroid in it and all was good.
Little update: bootloader is unlocked! it says in configurtion.
Fixed it is.
So, my story begins when installing the latest version of Paranoid Android. Because of stupidity I didn't clean the Dalvik Cache (TWR reminded me to but I forgot) and my device got bricked.
I then flashed the latest version .291 my phone could run because if my carrier thanks to XperiFirm and I wanted to root my 6.0.1 version of Android. Only reason I'm asking for help: Bootloader Unlock-NO.
I tried unlocking it officially and unofficially with Flashtool but my problem is now not caring about it since there are bypasses for the bootloader to flash a version of Android without having to unlock the Bootloader.
So my question is: How can I create a .ftf file from a ROM because I wish to give Paranoid Android a try and if anyone knows how to make that package a .ftf installation please let me know or if you know of any pre-rooted .ftf MM kernel for the Z2 I would be massivelly thankful.
