STEPS
1. FIND ANY 4.0.3 kernel , try downloading kernel file from NEO section
[before flashing : make USB debugging , unknown sources - ON ]
2. Flash it with flashtool
3. But your phone will show blackscreen (because locked bootloader - mismatched kernel ) but that doesnt mean you cant connect through ADB
4. So download DOOMLORD 's easy root toolkit for ics
5. switch on the phone (after removing battery and putting it back in )
6. connect to pc
7. open toolkit you downloaded
8. when the key leds light up - press enter in toolkit and it'll do the rest
9. after rooting - flash 4.0.4 kernel from the 4.0.4 firmware ( its available in xda now)
there you go -a rooted pro
I know that this method exits and most knows but for XPERIA PRO ( MK16i )
there's no kernel or ftf (4.0.3) anywhere as it wasn't released.
thanks for those who created the toolkit and posted a the firmwares
UPDATED : About the toolkit in the link
The toolkit provided have a 1.15 busybox ver , which is very old (have permission setting problems) , so please download the gingerbread toolkit (by the same guy) in which there is a much newer busybox and replace the file inside "files/" in the toolkit folder . you can also put v3.1 su binary for segfault fixes
OR just copy the files attached "files.rar"

Yes it does work . The phone shuts down after fully loading (at xperia logo - ie when key lights up) but thats all the toolkit needs as it pushes files and reboots.
And yes dont forget to close flashtool and pc companion , if it runs in background it wont work

This sounds wonderful. Thank you.
But if you dont mind, how do I flash back 4.0.4 kernal? Which file is it?
Skickat från min MK16i via Tapatalk 2
Thanks for the tip! Worked like a charm for me (bootloader still locked )
If anyone wants to try, I flashed the 4.0.3 kernel file from Neo/V topic (4.1.A.0.562):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26798415&postcount=141
Then extracted the 4.0.4 kernel from original .ftf file (got from official ICS update topic), flashed it and restarted the phone. Root Root!!

You'll have to download the full ftf , then flash it with flashtool by excluding the system in the flashtool . ie just flash the kernel only ( also check "no verification")
here's the link

The link I posted is having Europe keyboard layout , there's also another link which have another layout in the same topic by Jozinek try checking it out. And I meant to exclude the system only because you'll have already flashed this FTF and rooted it , so if the layout BALTIC (Europe or any other , other than africa i think ) works for you then you dont need to worry about wrong key layout.
I hope that helps

I thought Generic Nordic is the same as Generic World? There was a discussion a while back that talked about how there isn't such a thing as "generic world" even though it's always referred to as that.

I'm sorry, it's not so easy..... you have to root with recovery, and after that load a zip file with cwm. That's how i did it, and the way it works for me.

Can u provide a step by step instruction if you have time to write down?
I have an lt 15i, bootloader unlocked: yes, and now i am on lt15i 4.04 FR version.
What i did is:
flash the phone with a lt15i 4.04 FR edition with 562 kernel inside (it is on this forum)
start the phone with a lot of errors
root the phone with one click root. OK
put the phone to flash again and flash only the 4.04 kernel (ONLY, it is also on this forum)
at the end i started the phone, now i have a 4.04 FR version, rooted and with 431 kernel..but from pieces.
The removal process of FR bloatware it works ONLY with root explorer software.
Now i see there is a generic world firm but no easyroot process.
how to root ??? ( i want to install this generic world from one piece).
Big thank you
If you have bootloader unlocked and want root.
1. Download http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1680793
2. fastboot.exe boot boot.img (This command won't flash the kernel just boot it)
3. Download Superuser from http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip and flash it.
4. Rooted
I might aswell upload a prerooted system.img file, anyhow both methods requires bootloader to be unlocked.

How is the touch screen response ?
I flashed mine with 4.0.3 and 4.0.4 for LT18i and the touch screen was horrible for games (Max Payne, Dead Space, NOVA1,2&3...etc...) in both the cases. (display driver problem i think due to mismatch)
Is it smooth in this version ?

Due to loads of questions how to upgrade to the latest firmware and keep root and place recovery
First step
Find your 10.3.A.0.423 ROM and download it
Belgium
France
Germany
Greece
Greece unbranded
Hongkong
Spain
Taiwan
Ukraine
Use this tutorial to flash the ROM into your Phone.
Be sure you download these versions below and nothing else to get a quick rooted and recovered Phone
[XZDualRecovery][v2.5 RELEASE]
[Z][ROOT] DooMLoRD Easy Rooting Toolkit (v15) {perf_event exploit}[20130624]
If you have flashed your Phone with the latest ROM, and you lost Root on the Phone, first use the toolkit from Doomlord This will install SuperSU on your Phone.
Just let the program do its job.
If you wanna add recovery mode on your Phone, use [XZDualRecovery][v2.5 RELEASE] cwm 6.0.3.2 & twrp 2.5.0.0 [locked bootloader] from [NUT]
In his map you see two files : Superuser and SuperSU, use the SuperSU to let the tool create the recovery on your cellphone.
I want to thank both develepors for making these tools and making rooting and recovery so easy
For me this method doesn't work, I'm on the Generic NL but when I install recovery it only works at first boot (It goes to CWM). Then I reboot the phone to system (as pointed out in the installation instructions).
But from here it seems recovery is disabled...I can push volume up or down but it won't go into any recovery anymore.... Only way to get it working again is by installing it over and over...but I never get a second boot in recovery. Any ideas?

Make sure that you're installing the 2.5 beta version.
If you already did, there was a problem that has recently been fixed by [NUT], so download the fixed version and try again.

STOCK ROM Xperia Z (C6603) 10.4.1.B.0.101 Generic UA (Unbranded Ukraine)
Hi all, this is my first take at creating a flashable zip which I tested and found working on my Unlocked Bootloader Xperia Z (C6603)
Stock ROM uploaded by @smardu http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50203976&postcount=68
Created using @[NUT]'s DIY Guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2307311 to create a flashable zip rooted with SuperSU, init.d & BusyBox built in with @[NUT]'s XZ Dual Recovery v 2.7.62
I have tested it on my Unlocked Bootloader Xperia Z (C6603) and found working. I have NOT tested on Locked Bootloader. If you are willing to try and let me know!
How I updated:
1. Make a nandroid backup just in case
2. Flash the flashable zip using PhilzTouch (only tested using PhilzTouch Recovery) - I am not sure if it will work on other recoveries
3. Once completed, do not restart your phone, power off the phone instead
4. Connect in Flashmode and Flash the Kernel
5. Reboot and once loaded into system, it should start showing Android is upgrading
I did not clear data or cache before flashing and so far it is working fine with me.
I have also included links to @[NUT]'s latest XZ Dual Recovery v 2.7.85-BETA.flashable as well as the working Xposed Installer Framework for 4.3.

I got a weird issue after flashing this rom..when my phone booted up for 1st time i got this repair icon in my screen, with the loading blue bar on the bottom (1st time i see this on my phone)...after a few minutes it booted up normally, but the only issue i got is that i cannot install any app through my file explorer...only through playstore..when i try to install one app through es explorer eg. i get "sorry,no application error".
Also, xposed framework has issues too..i can view my mods and they are applied to my phone, but when i try to update those who need update, xposed is crashing...so i can only use mods that are already installed through my previous rom.
Anyone has any idea what i did or what maybe went wrong?

What ROM were you previously on? Was it Odexed or Deodexed? And did you wipe data/cache/dalvik before flashing or did you dirty flash? Might work if you do a clean install.
OK, i just figured out my mistake...
I did everything from scratch and everything works flawless now..so i can confirm it is working on a locked bootloader..
So for your interest if someone does the same mistake as i did, just when flashing the kernel .ftf don't exclude anything..that caused my issues i think

I was on 4.3 odexed NCB stock, prerooted. I wiped only cache and dalvik before flashing. I messed up my system by trying another flashable rom that failed during flashing, and then i tried this method, zipped flashed fine, but i unchecked everything except kernel when flashing the .tft. Although i reflashed for 2nd time in a row the .tft, system still messed up. So i did everything from the beginning and now it works fine...
Glad i didn't had to wipe my data in the end... :laugh:
Thanks for this rom/guide
Silly question, I have unlocked the bootloader, I'm using a stock rom with stock kernel, what I need to know is if after I flash the kernel.tft I need to follow the NUT's thread to install the dual recovery? it is already rooted? I'll do it today as soon as I get home so I just need to know that! :good:

No, dualrecovery is integrated in this rom. Also, busybox and supersu fixes are also included, so you only need to flash the rom and the .ftf kernel file.
error flashing kernel

Always download and use the latest flashtool version Flashtool Homepage
Also make sure, that your firmware is in the correct folder inside flashtool directory.
Question! Step 4
Instead of flashing Kernel via Flashtool, wouldn't it be possible to use Doomlords v12 advanced stock kernel via Recovery?

I have installed 10.5.1.A.0.283 on my XPeria Z.
But i could not Root it, even the Towel Root does not work on this device with this Software. So maybe someday this How to is no longer needed. :-/
So i tried to make my own Root Method and it worked.
I tried it with an clean Installation and it worked nice. So if you want to keep your Data and so on, so select the appropriate Options in the Flashtool.
What do i need?
1. Unlocked Bootloader... Google it, there you should be enough, how to unlock it (the easist way is over the Flashtool if you already got your code)
2. the Flashtool http://www.flashtool.net/index.php
3. an Firmware File. (Since the Flashtool (latest Version) can Download the latest Software by its Self, you do NOT need such an File)
4. the Superuser ZIP --> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.superuser
Direct Link http://download.clockworkmod.com/superuser/superuser.zip.
5. The Doomlord Kernel --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/development/cwm-based-recovery-6-0-4-6-root-xperia-t2167381
even if it is actualy not supported for the 10.5.1.A.0.283 Firmware. (But it is only needed for installing the superuser.zip)
How to do?
Like i said i made an clean Install.
1. Install the Flashtool
2. Install the needed Drivers (can be found in the Flashtool /Drivers Folder)
3. Start The Flashtool (depending on your System take the Flashtool or Flashtool64.exe)
4. Go to the Devices --> Check Updates Menu and select Xperia Z
5. Then Select your Phone Model, (I took c6603)
6. Select the Variant you have/want (i took the customized UA Version) Double Click on it to see what Version it actualy has.
7. If you found the right, double Click on it to download it, this tooks an little bit of Time. Then the Files are Decrypted needs also a little Bit of time.
8. Than there should open an Window called Bundler. So Press Shift+End to select all files and move them to the right Tab with the "->" Button and click "create"...
9. Now shut down your Phone. And click the Flash Button, select Flashmode. Select the Firmware you want to Flash.
AND HOW I SAID if you want to keep the Data and so on. You must Select or deselect what you need or not at this Point.
10. Press the Flash Button. It tooks a little Bit of Time and than you must connect the Device in Flashmode Press the Volume lower Button and hold it than attach the USB Cable if the Flashtool says it.
After some Minutes Later you have the Latest Sony Software for this Device.
How to Root?
1.Shut down the Device
2. Click the Flash Button in the Flashtool and select Fastboot Mode than you select the boot.img in the Doomlord Tab (select Kernel to Flash). Hold the Volume up Button and Connect the USB. Wait some Seconds than you have this Kernel installed.
4. Disconnect the Phone and switch it on, if the LED lights up press and hold the Volume down key. Than it should start in one of the Recovery tools, there you should choose the supersu.zip which you had copied to your external SDCARD before
Install it. After that switch the Phone off.
5. Because this Doomlord Kernel does not work with this Firmware Version, you need to restore the Original Kernel from the 10.5.1.A.0.283 Firmware.
Click on the Flashtab in the Flashtool select Flashmode and than select the 10.5.1.A.0.283 Firmware. BUT NOW deselect all in the Wipe Section. And select all in the Exclude section except the Kernel.
So that only the Kernel will be flashed. If you are asked from the Flashtool press and hold the Volume down Button and attach the USB Cable. Than the Flashing begins.
FINISH
Now you should have an rooted 10.5.1.A.0.283 Xperia Z with the Original Kernel
There is NO warranty for this HowTo. You should Backup all Data before you do this. You do this at your OWN risk.
You forgot to mention that this is ONLY FOR UNLOCKED BOOTLOADERS!!!

Thanks. I added this.
What?? why not just flash .230 kernel, use towelroot and flash back .283 kernel??
Unlocking bootloader is not at all required. Instead of using doom kernel,
Flash the old 10.5.A.0.230 kernel,
Root it using towelroot,
Then flash back the 10.5.1.A.0.283 kernel!

You mean if i have an 10.5.1.A.0.283 Firmware, I only must flash the Kernel from the 10.5.A.0.230 Firmware. And than the Towel root works again?
And than i must flash the 10.5.1.A.0.283 Kernel again?

Did not know that the .230 Kernel also works with the .283 Version.
Because the latest Doomlord Kernel does not work with the .283 Version

The Kernel does not work, WiFi will not work. It is only for root steps. Flashing back 283 kernel is mandantory

All firmwares have English language available and every generic firmware is identical apart from preloaded apps. Just choose any.

Generic UA (Ukraine) that I downloaded myself with Flashtool.
It seems smoother than 4.4.2 to me. Battery life is about the same for me.
