I just received my Sony z2 phone. (model d6503 17.1.2.a.0.314) I have tried every tool and rooting method on here to no avail.
I simply want to root phone, add SU and add recovery options.
Can you recommend a simple method that will work?
Is it possible to backup my original sony image before su and root?
Thanks a bunch.

Rooting vs Bootloader Unlock
Hello, believe it or not, many searches trying to figure this out has let me down a rabbit hole. I have a Sony Xperia Z2 (17.1.A.2.55) (v4.4.2) (Ker 3.4.0-perf-g46a79a0) with the bootloader Locked (and not unlockable). I am able to Root the device, after many attempts, (with TWRP) but have been having some difficulty installing custom ROMS.
My question is, do I need to unlock bootloader in order to install Custom ROMS or is Rooting enough?
When I try to flash CM 11 from TWRP Manager I get an error message saying that "Cannot install over previous version, device wipe needed".
Realising that this is very clear, I do not want to go ahead and wipe my device again only to have the install be impossible.
Any advice?
Cheers,
Philip,
I understand your frustration...seems like it should be much easier to root and backup the stock version of Android. Hopefully we can discover a technique to do same.

You dont needd to unlock your bootloader to root and same with recovery

If you can't unlock your bootloader then that means that you cannot change the kernel to a non official kernel.
CM is not an option for you, but you will be able to use stock based roms
Is it possible to get SU access and still be able to get the Sony updates?
Is it wiser to go with another rom?
Do you loose any native functionality when going to a custom rom?
Thanks
If you have root you will still be able to update although when you do you will lose root privileges

Hi,
I'm currently waiting for my Xiaomi device and I have some questions before rooting the phone and doing some other mods.
First of all I'll mention that I've got huge experience in flashing roms, modding etc (just not with Xiaomi), so you don't have to use noob-friendly language.
1)I bought the "Pro" variant, with 16MPx, sdcard expansion and snapdragon 650.
So can I flash any rom that is included in this section: http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/development or is there a difference between Redmi Note 3 Snapdragon & Note 3 Pro?
According to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/development/snapdragon-note-ensure-threads-titled-t3351620 it's the same, but I just want to be 100% sure as I just bricked my previous device by flashing a wrong ROM (from other device)
Oh, and I hope the storage option doesn't really matter for ROM flashing, right?
2)I've seen some 2 methods of unlocking bootloader. First one is official, where we sometimes have to wait for some longer time to get the code and the second one is unofficial.
Are there any (dis)advantages using both of the methods, and do I have to use developer ROM to unlock it the official way? Which one is safer?
3)In case my phone would be stuck in a bootloop, can I use MiFlash to repair it?
Do I need to have modified boot.img to do this?
4)Let's assume I have China ROM stable edition. Will I be able to install via update menu the dev version (with locked bootloader) and obtain root by doing this?
5)Can I use FlashFire to flash any zip (of course not a ROM), like some audio mods etc, or am I only allowed to install Xposed with it?
6)Let's say I just flashed a ROM through TWRP but forgot to delete the emmc_appsboot.mbn file. I didn't reboot the phone yet. Will flashing a new ROM (with deleted file), restoring old backup or just deleting the file from system partition (If it exists there) prevent it from bricking?
7)What's with the modified boot.img? I don't quite understand what it's for and when to use it.
Ok, so I think that's all for now. I know these are a lot, but I just want to have some basic information about the phone before I start rooting it.
If you know some good threads that will answer my questions, please post them as an answer.
1.you can't use roms from Redmi Note 3 for Redmi Note 3 PRO;they have differnt CPU;first is equipped with an Mediatek CPU,second one is equipped with an Qualcomm CPU
2.safer method is official method;but why you need this;look around and you will see many people screaming after unlocking BL,installed TWRP,so on and finally BRICK.So my advice:Stay Safe.MIUI OS offers to you all what you needersonalization,good battery life,speed,security.Additionaly unfinished roms and not fully tested software can damage hardware of device
3.you can use MIFlash to repair device,it does exist many guides here or on MIUI Forum
4.yes you can;from China stable----->China developer and from Global stable------>Global developer;this is the order
5.i suppose that ,when you have BL unlocked and root acces,it might be possible
6.i guess not because files chianges occur after OS reboot
7.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2587462
1) If you're on the Pro, you're on the Pro. You can only flash for that specific model. The PRO have Snapdragon cpu/gpu, and the non pro version have Mediatek, which make it completely different device. Always be sure that you flash roms that have KENZO in their filename. If you flash ROM made for Mediatek, you'll possibly have a 180 grams brick.
2) I'm still waiting for official unlock code, but after 11 days still haven't got it. Unlocked it by the unofficial way and because I wasn't aware what bastards Xiaomi are, I'v managed to hard brick it so I had to open it and use the two pins for flashing. Please follow the guides in here. The disadvantage of the unofficial way is that EVERY time before you flash new rom, you have to open the archive of the rom, enter the firmware-update folder and delete the emmc_appsboot.mbn. Failing to do that will get you with locked bootloader and the only way to fix the device is by the method I've used (the story above).
3) Better reflash with TWRP. I haven't used any other tool since unlocking the bootloader and flashing the twrp recovery
4) No
5) Yes
6) No. You've already overwritten the mmc_appsboot.mbn the first time. Always check for that file and delete it before flashing. Always.
7) I don't get it also. Some people have problems with wifi without modified boot.img (kernel). Haven't got such problems by now.
ok.
So regarding the point 1. Yes, I know that there's mediatek version also.
But the link I've provided redirects to Note 3 Snapdragon forum.
The thing I wanted to know if there are only 2 types of devices:
a)mediatek, 13mpx, no sdcard,etc
b)snapdragon,16mpx, sdcard
c)snapdragon, 13mpx, no sdcard - it does not exist right?
So for eg. this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/development/rom-resurrectionremix-v5-6-7-xiaomi-t3365872 is for option b right?
Regarding #2. If I unlock the bootloader official way, do I also have to delete emmc... from the zip before flashing?
#2. Ok, so if I don't get TWRP, how may I backup the whole ROM?
As we know flashing some zip files, or even android itself may not boot after some time. So is there any alternative to TWRP backup (that would copy whole system)?
The snapdragon one is with 16 mpx camera and sd slot (or second sim). It comes in two variants - 2gb ram and 16 gb internal storage or 3gb ram and 32 gb of internal storage. The camera and the cpu are the same in both versions. That's why I've told you to only flash roms that have Kenzo in its name
For non rooted devices,it does exist MI PC Suite for create backup/restore from back-up
Exactly see the fourth question getting different answers.
Too many threads, conflict.... Answers,... ****ty bootloader, my advice if u don't understand things ,don't go 4 unlock.
Dont buy if you not yet ordered
Why not?
I'll receive it on monday probably, so it's too late anyway.
the thing is, that I like modding the phones and unlocking bootloader in Xiaomi will be just a matter of time, that's why I want to learn some basic stuff about this phone.
Because he hadn't read what all the guides say and then end up with hard bricked devices
The phone is a beast.
Yeah, you're probably right. I hope the N3PRO will be at least as good as my z2
Could you tell me one thing. Do I need to delete emmc... file from zip, when I've unlocked the phone official way?
Edit: I think I've got my answer here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66618701&postcount=5
After official unlock, you should be able to do whatever you like. I'm still on the unofficial way, but got unlock permission today. Will let you know what is going on tomorrow (probably, if I have time to reflash).
I need help. I want to root my Moto E 2nd Generation (LTE MODEL) XT1524. I tried to root my phone with Kingroot, which I had rooted some other devices successfully. But it didn't worked on this phone which was soft bricked for a month (until it was fixed). I want to find 1) How to root the phone without computer (if it's possible), 2) How to fix it (There is a program that fixes the firmware of the phone, but I don't know how to download it) and 3) how to install a custom rom with flashing a custom recovery and all that stuff. (On this phone it is quite easy to unlock the bootloader. You have to go to developer options and tap the OEM unlock. Probably is a feature of Android 6.0)
If someone can help me with all that stuff, I would thank him/her a lot!
By the way, sorry for bad English...

3) You cannot flash a custom ROM or recovery without unlocking the bootloader. This all has to be done via a PC. You can follow these steps
forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e-2015/general/guide-unlock-bootloader-moto-e-2015-t3045748
The unlock bootloader in the option does not unlock the bootloader but just allows you to unlock it. If it is turned off and you try to unlock it, you cannot.
If it helps please hit the thanks.
Hello everyone,
tl;dr version
What's the best way to install a custom rom on the Redmi Note 3 out of the box with a locked bootloader. What is the best rom to use for maximum functionality.
I have been following these forums for a while, but haven't got around to creating an account and posting. I'm new to flashing roms, and my experience goes as far as following guides to flash a Samsung S4, and a Samsung S2. The Samsung phones were really easy to flash, and I just followed guides in a robotic way without ever actually learning anything. For the record, CM12 on the Samsung S2, which I'm using because I smashed my S4, is absolutely unbelievable in regards to the increase of performance.
One of my work friends was telling me that he has a mate who bought a Chinese phone really cheap and flashed it. Getting excited, knowing exactly where I need to look to flash a phone, I impulsively researched these phones and bought a Redmi Note 3 for $173 AUD. It's on the way in the mail. Having looked at the hardware specs, this price is absolutely ridiculous. I was more swayed to buy the Redmi Note 3, because multiple sites reported that the second sim slot can hold a micro SD card. The only downside I can see to this phone is the bloatware and stock rom that it comes with, and the reason for this post is to discuss the best way in which to flash a new rom. If you have managed to read this far, thanks for reading my life story!
Having limited experience in the phone flashing world, from researching it looks like the flashing process is something like:
Unlock the bootloader
Flash a recovery program
Use the recovery to flash rom/app
My understanding of the bootloader and why it needs to be unlocked is limited. I've done some research around it, and this is what I have found. The bootloader is the first thing that runs when the phone starts up, loads the kernel and the rom, and verifies that you have a legit recovery program. It needs to be unlocked so you can put a custom recovery on to your phone. Once you have that sorted, flashing roms from the recovery is a pretty straight forward process. If I'm wrong, please correct me, because this is what I have understood from looking around and I'm not confident about my understanding.
Unlocking the Bootloader On The Redmi Note 3
Having read on multiple sites, this looks like the biggest constraint when trying to flash a custom rom on the Redmi Note 3. This is because Xiaomi have locked the bootloader for this device, when most other phones do not have this problem. Most flashing guides for the Redmi Note 3 assume that the boodloader is unlocked or list it as a pre-requisite, so I'm unsure what path to take here. From research, it looks like there are 3 possible ways to move forward from here:
Official Bootloader Unlock
Unofficial Bootloader Unlock
Bypassing The Bootloader Unlock
Because my account is new, the following links aren't hyperlinked and in a good format due to permissions. Sorry! It'd be sweet if a mod could edit it.
1. Official Bootloader Unlock
This seems like the most legit way to unlock the bootloader. Apparently you just go to: endotmiuidotcom/unlock/ and apply for an unlock by using google translate and creating an account. People have reported response times taking over a month, not getting a successful application, or the unlocking process getting stuck at 50%. To me this doesn't sound appealing and I'm not too keen on waiting a month to find I'm unsuccessful in applying.
2. Unofficial Bootloader Unlock
This process is found here: endotmiuidotcom/thread-253680-1-1.html and looks to be a bit tedious. Apparently there is a high chance for a brick using this method, and some custom recoveries don't work well with it. My other concern is that if the brickrate is high, and this method was released around april, it could be possible that Xiaomi has made some further updates, further increasing the chance for a brick.
3. Bypassing The Bootloader Unlock
I found this process on a post from these forums, which then sourced a reddit post. The reddit post is pretty straight forward and can be found here: wwwdotredditdotcom/r/Xiaomi/comments/5611tg/psa_you_can_flash_twrp_and_subsequently_cm13/ .This process works by flashing a legit miui rom, but by flashing it with a modified recovery image, in particular, a custom recovery like TWRP. Having considered the three methods, this looks like the easiest way of getting it done.
My questions are: has anyone done any of these three methods successfully? What method do you recommend? Have I missed anything? Are there any other methods?
My understanding is once the bootloader is unlocked, you install TWRP. Then once that is installed you flash whatever rom you want, which leads into my next question. What is the best ROM to use?
It looks like the most viable roms are the CM roms. I've seen CM 13 and CM 14, are people running CM 13 instead of 14. Why? Is it more stable? Ideally I'm after the most functionality possible. Are there any other roms that you'd recommend flashing? When flashing roms are you supposed to do all the standard things that you would on other phones, factory wipe/cache wipe/davlik cache wipe, flash rom, flash gapps? I've also seen that CM needs firmware flashed before the rom, will this mess anything up and can it brick? Can you do all this stuff from TWRP with a locked bootlader (method 3)? I really like having notification badges too, what will I need to do for this to happen?
If you have read all of this, I really appreciate you taking the time. I hope I haven't broken any forum rules in the process.
dude,it's too much to read for people. I can't believe i read it,anyway.
about unlocking the bootloader process(I'm telling you about my experience):
---step 1 : you sign up for a mi account,choose your country and verify your phone number>login to your mi account on your device(remember to enable every feature on your mi account on your device,you can disable backup)> go to https://i.mi.com and check your device,it should be there> go to http://en.miui.com/unlock/ , write for example dear sir or madam, I'm an austrailian developer and I want to try and work on projects like cyanogen mods and other custom roms. sincerely,JaFranchise - alright,after finishing the writing go to translate.google.com and translate it to chinese,then paste on the form,then apply,you will confirm your request by entering the code that was sent to you via mi message --- for me it took about 3 to 4 hours to receive my confirmation.
---step 2 : first try this,if you stuck on 50% error,you will try step 3,so here is the instruction,
sign in to your mi account on your device(enable find device),also on i.mi.com(to check your device). enable developer options,OEM unlocking and USB debugging. > download the latest version of MIFlashUnlock tool and log into your account link : http://bigota.d.miui.com/miflashunlock/MiFlashUnlock_1.1.0317.1_en.zip> turn off your device and go to fastboot (press and hold volume - and power button at the same time), connect your device to your PC, click unlock(on MIFlashUnlock tool), after your bootloader successfully unlocked, click on reboot.
---step 3 : this is for kenzo devices(redmi note 3 pro - snapdragon650) - if you're using redmi note 3(mediatekX10), you should download the roms(stable and developer) according to your device
you need to switch from global stable to global developer rom, download the latest global developer rom on android lollipop(5.1). link : http://bigota.d.miui.com/6.8.18/miui_HMNote3ProGlobal_6.8.18_d0da79d09e_5.1.zip> after downloading the rom,rename the file name to Update.zip then copy to internal storage(in downloaded_rom folder).> open updater app, select choose update package, go to downloaded_rom folder and select Update.zip. It will verify your rom and install it. > download the latest global developer rom from en.miui.com/download-301.html , repeat the instruction or just simply download via updater > then follow step 2
I think,It's better you first unlock bootloader,then mention me in the comments to go through that(about cm and aosp roms and flashing instructions) process.
goodluck.
Thanks for your reply and for reading it all. So your advice is unlock the bootloader the official way. I know it's too much to read, that's why I put a tl;dr section, because I probably wouldn't read that much! The last thing I want to do is annoy people.
Cheers for specifically telling me what I'd need to write in the application, massive help. Maybe some people have been unsuccessful because they haven't said the right things.

It's alot easier than it sounds. The hardest part is probably getting the drivers on your computer installed properly to unlock bootloader/miflash. The good thing about this device is if you brick it, it's fairly simple to unbrick via the edl method but yea, official unlock bootloader - flash zcx twrp - make a backup - flash away

So it looks like official unlock is the way to go about things. Why ZCX version of TWRP?
ZCX is essentially the official TWRP, but with some extra stuff in it to allow it to support F2FS, if I'm not mistaken. Since you've decided to unlock your bootloader the official way, both ZCX and the official twrp are fine.

you're welcome,yes if you officially unlock the bootloader,everytime you face an issue,for example got your bootloader locked again,you can use miflashunlock with ease.about the version of the twrp,i should say ZCX_TWRP_0917 is the way to go,it got everything you'll ever needed except for encryption you need lazyflasher-I don't want to go into details to make you confused-for more info about twrp and other roms check these links :

Please read the whole post and answer all (if possible) of my questions, I don't mind if you give me links, I'll read myself. Just don't answer with 2 words that don't mean anything to me.
I want to get into rooting, custom kernals, etc but I really don't know where to start reading from. Anything I came across seems not detailed enough. My end goals are:
- To get enough info so I don't brick my phone or even if I do, I want to know how to fix it.
- Install a custoim kernel, so I can get battery life simillar to this guy.
- Get magisk working, so I can get AUX lenses on gcam working too.
In the past I have installed custom roms on my old LG G2 and everything was so simple, rooting was 1 click and installed TWRP too. Then just flashing roms, gapps, etc, but at the moment I feel my knowledge/experience is like I've never seen a computer or phone in my life.
1. First, where do I start from? Here? It doesn't say if I should have an unlocked bootloader, but other guides require that. I'm kinda confused.
2. If I need to unlock it, I read that it wipes everything, how do I backup without TWRP? Speaking of which, do I need it since there is no official one. Can I do a pre-root backup with OP switch and then restore from it after I've rooted and/or unlocked bootloader?
3. What's the deal with patched boot images, in what situation would I need one?
4. I've just updated to OOS 10.0.8.HD01BA. Does that make me unable to root with method from 1 because its so new or it doesn't matter? I've read somewhere that with OTA you lose magisk/twrp, is there a way to prevent that or I'll just have to do 1 again. Do OTAs return me back to stock kernel?
5. The guy above is using this kernel. It's supposed to be working on 7T Pro too. Has anytone tried it? If so how is it?
6. What about blu_spark kernel, is it good? Also I don't really get what the warning message mean :
"Reflash ROM -> flash TWRP --> reboot to recovery --> flash Magisk if you want (default, no plugins/modules) -> flash blu_spark."
How do I reflash stock rom? Also there is no official TWRP, so I guess it's better to not use this one or there is another way to install?
7. Speaking of which, what's the deal with FKM? What should I know about it?
8. If I root with 1, can I then install arter97's kernel with FKM?
9. How do I go back to stock kernel/rom/etc/lock bootloader in case I need warranty?
10. Is there anything that's recommended to read/know?

1. Unlocked Bootloader is always required.
2. Yes it wipes everything, OnePlus switch works fine for backup and restore
3. Since there is no TWRP you'll need one to root.
4. Not necessarily. You can just grab whatever patched boot image (preferably for BA), fastboot boot it to see if it works, if it does then do direct install in Magisk Manager. You can maintain root after an update following this
https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/ota.html , and yes, it'll bring you back to stock kernel.
5. ?
6 &7. You can do ahead and try different kernels however I recommend arter97.
Since there is no TWRP you'll need FKM to flash the kernel.
8. Yes.
9. Rooting doesn't really void warranty, but I'd use MSMTOOL to get back to 100% stock.
For stock kernel you can flash stock (or patched) boot image depending wether you want stock or stock root.
To get back to stock ROM, either use MSMTOOL or fastboot ROM, you can find both in guides section.
10. Guides section for fastboot ROM and msmtool.
For AUX module.

Since there is no TWRP it can be tricky to get out of bootloop if you install a rogue module.
