Here is a simple guide to root Xperia Z and install @[NUT]'s XZ dual recovery at the same time (BIG thanks to him:good
**NOTE: If you are on .569 or .101 firmware, you will need to downgrade to a previous version as no rooting exploit is currently available**
Before starting, as always, make sure you have a backup of your data
Download XZ dual recovery from Here, and unzip it.
Go to Settings/About Phone/Build number and tap it 7 times to enable Developer Options
Go back, open Developer Options, check USB debugging box, and Click OK to allow.
Plug the phone into the PC via USB cable.
Now go to XZDR folder, run the install file and choose [ 3. Installation on unrooted ROM ]
If a message about RSA key comes up, allow it.
After installation, the phone will boot into Philz Touch 6 recovery.
Go to /Philz settings and select Re-root System (SuperSU) /Yes - Apply SuperSU.
The log should say "done install SuperSU from market"
Select ***Go Back***/Reboot System Now.
You are now rooted with XZ Dual recovery
Dont forget to install Chainfire's SuperSU app from Playstore, and update su Binary when prompted:good:
To enter the recoveries during the boot process, press volume up to enter Philz CWM Advanced edition, or volume down to enter TWRP when green LED comes on.
Alternatively, use the newly installed NDR utils app to choose which recovery to boot into.
For more information on XZ Dual Recovery go Here
Have fun and enjoy
Edit: You can now update to. 569 by flashing a pre-rooted rom in recovery.
An alternative way of gaining root after installing the dual recovery would be to simply boot into one of the recoveries and flash a superuser zip. That would install the superuser control apk to /system/app and includes the latest su binaries.
Chainfire always has the latest version of SuperSu available in zip form on his website - http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu

If I'm on .569 already, unroot and unlocked bootloader, can I still use your method? Install the dual recovery and flash SuperSU?

If your bootloader is unlocked then simply flash DooMLoRD's advanced stock kernel , then flash the SuperSU zip that I linked to.

Is this procedure ok for stock 4.2.2 XZ 6603 with locked bootloader? Bootloader stays untouched after this?
Maybe my questions looks lame for You but I wanna ask before then be sorry after.
BTW: It seams to be too easy... I just can't believe! :good:

Yes, I tested it successfully on that configuration, and it doesn't interfere with bootloader. Once you achieve root, it might be.a good idea to backup your TA partition.:thumbup:

No. If you want to flash Cyanogenmod (or any other non stock based rom), you need to unlock your bootloader.

No. The 4.4 roms that are currently available are non stock based. Anything that needs a custom kernel needs an unlocked bootloader.

Hello guys.. This is my first post and i am kinda new to rooting..
I did some research and rooted my nexus 4 using the NRT 1.6.3
I didn't install CWM or TWRP (Kept the flash CWM option unchecked under the ROOT button)
So basically I just have the Root access for the phone. Nothing more (i guess)
So am I still running on Stock Android ????
Moreover when any system updates comes in the future, can i perform the OTA updates or do i have to download it and install it from the recovery mode ???
Some people say that if u didn't install CWM or TWRP (Like i did), u can normally perform the OTA updates without any extra steps
But If u have CWM, then there are chances of bricking the phone..
I am confused. Any help would be appreciated
If you are just rooted and have not flashed any rom,which would not be possible without custom recovery, then you are still running the stock android and all the ota updates will be installed automatically
You have not installed any recovery and not any rom, then root should not be a problem for ota updates, they will come as usual and will be installed

Thanks for the quick reply.
I am almost sure that i have not installed any quick recovery, but if by chance the NRT automatically installed some quick recovery, and i dont flash any ROM, so can i still perform the OTA updates in the future ??
Is there still chance to brick my phone in doing so ???

What about unlocking the bootloader? Does that hinder in process of ota?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Since you have already unchecked the option for custom recovery, NRT wouldd not have installed any recovery.
Rest assured you are not going to brick your device performing ota updates
You can still check if you have any custom recovery installed by pressing power button and volume up and volume down button simuntaneously when phone is switched off
BTW i think that even having a custom recovery installed would not have effect on ota updates but a custom rom will surely be

Alrighty.. I'll try that..
If i have a custom recovery, what should pressing the power and volume keys do during a boot ??
I mean it will take me to the default recovery mode, or to the custom recovery whichever is installed, right ??
Yes, if you have not installed any custom recovery, it would take you to stock recovery and you would be fine
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
I know using twrp recovery allows you to still accept ota updates the normal way but im not sure about cwm
okay..
another question.. if i perform any OTA update, will i lose the root ??
Is there any way for performing an OTA update in which i dont lose my root ?

Thats a good link there. Correct me if i'm wrong, but my problem doesn't lie in any of the scenarios mentioned there..
I am stock + rooted 'without' any custom recovery..
is it just me, or there is no scenario mentioned there for such a case ??
You will not brick your device by ota updates
You dont have any custom recovery So there qould be no problem for ota updates they will be updated as usual
You should not lose root access while doing ota updates, and in case it goes away then how much time does it take to gain root access back with NRT?
And all the way google releases updates when everything has been done, so it is just one time update,
AGAIN, you are fine , there qould be no problem for future ota updates
And i think that most probably by the time google releases another version of android, you would be running a custom rom
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
You can be on Stock Rom with No Mods Unlocked Rooted with a Custom Recovery and you will get the ota update and it will install fine.
The ota update link will be posted here before you get on your device so it's good to have a custom recovery so you can just flash it. It will also protect you from losing root and your custom recovery

Thanks a lot guys.. That pretty much answered all my questions
the version is still 1.7.2. if you have nrt 1.7.2 installed, just connect to net and start nrt, which will update automatically. the rooting process is exactly the same as for jss15q. customized recovery is just optional. you can keep the original recovery with rooted jss15r. but unlocking bootloader is a must

I unlocked and rooted once before upgrading to JSS15R
It turned out that after upgrading to JSS15R, I don't have root access
Do I need to unlock again before rooting?
Will all my data be gone after rooting?
Thanks!

I used wug but when using your latest version of SU 1.65 I could never get root. I finally booted into TWRP and flashed SU 1.5x and it worked! Don't know why the newer version wouldn't work. Then, after booting it updated itself to the newer version of SU. Go figure.

I have a pre_MF3 phone but my gf has this device with NC1 Bl, I was able to use geohot's root method to acquire root access. I have supersu installed but can't update binaries. I tried using goo.im to install a recovery but that seems to have failed (it says it installed successful). Each to I try to reboot recovery it boots into DL mode and will continue doing that until I pull battery and force a it into the "booting a custom software" screen to which then I can push vol down and restart it normal but cannot in anyway get it into recovery mode. I'm assuming this may have to deal with it being a "loki'd" recovery? Does this seem like a plausible issue? If it is what's the chances of say, since we can install I9505 roms that we could install the un- "loki'd" I9505 custom recoveries? Also, this isn't packaged with a recovery so, I'm assuming the best method of installing a recovery may be odin? Any feedback would be nice, Thanks in advance

Bootloader is locked. You can't have recovery besides Safestrap on any version past MDL 4.2.2. You'll have to reflash it with ODIN to fix the recovery issue and use Safestrap to flash ROMs.

Root is not the same as a bootloader unlock. Older phones only needed root, now that we have complicated locked bootloaders with checks we need more than just root to install a custom recovery and ROMs.

Embedded SU is particularly broken!! After installation, !!! before reboot !!! simply flash latest superSU to get full root (or just have a look on how to install)
How to install:
download
save to SD
reboot to recovery
install
wipe cache and dalvik
flash latest Supersu
reboot and enjoy!
NO WIPE NEEDED!!
Don't Forget to hit THANKS!!
P.S: For all the Optimists...

I'm on CM12.1 can I flash this ?do I have to wipe the data?
Is this the Global version?
sorry for the stupid question, is there any option or process to follow to "NOT WIPE" or just follow instructions, also can you do a Singapore Generic version (not O2) if possible

There isn't not wipe, I wrote no wipe needed, means you can flash it right over your existent stock rom without loosing data.
That is completely unnecessary because this version is a generic with some o2 apps pre-installed which can easily deleted via a root Explorer or something!
