What is the key?

This method will work and I can say that without even doing/testing it because you're on 4.1.2 firmware along with root and recovery and you download a official 4.3 based ROM along with supersu.zip file for rooting the 4.3 based ROM, once you flash 4.3 based ROM in recovery while on 4.1.2 firmware there will be no root but once you flash the supersu.zip you will get root on the 4.3 ROM and now the main part once you reboot you wont be able to boot to system and end up bootlooping on Sony logo coz 4.1.2 kernel cant boot system of 4.3 so for that you flash stock kernel of 4.3 and tantada you're now on official 4.3 ROM with root and locked bootloader, this post might help people who would not be able to understand what this method actually is.

But the stock ftf we flash, doesn't it partition the different sizes and then paste system rom data on it? With this method, the layout will remain 4.1,but rom will be 4.3. I'm saying this coz on my previous phone desire X, using such method, without updating bootloader partition, a few things things didn't work, like tethering and mass storage....
Anyways we can test this and see for ourselves

Cant comment about desire x but that's nowhere the case with any of the xperia's, there is a short method though if you got the 4.3 ftf from which you can extract the system and build ROM directly, that will be completely stock and you wouldn't need to download 700+ mb ROM and will save your time

If you already have root, this update will work ... but under CWM will not work.
Added Stock KPO Recovery update on 1st post.
Thank you!
hey can anyone make stock recovery of DDKQ5 firmware
Is the Stock Recovery from KPN or any other 2.3.3 that much different from the KPO one ? Would it perhaps even be possible to flash this Stock Recovery on any 2.3.3 ?
Edit: Well i took my chances and just flashed the Stock Recovery on my 2.3.3 KPN. It worked. So if you you need a Stock Recovery you can use this one.
Quick question: on which kernel this ROOT is based ?
hello
is that it works on firmware XXKPO?
My phone is with the method upd.zip rooter.
thank you

[STOCK ROM] Xperia Z (C6603) 10.4.1.B.0.101 Rooted init.d & Dual Recovery

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.

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?

Hi,
Thank you for this ROM! Here some comments:
1) This ROM isn't pre-rooted. You need to apply some rooting. The PHILZ option for rooting don't work (I suggest to fix it). So you need to apply some ZIP like "Root for RIO 4.4.2(Flash This).zip" with the recovery. Please, advise this!
2) The recovery incorporated has more troubles: the USB port don't work at all! You can't mount USB or use ADB. This is very bad for a recovery. I suggest to fix this recovery.
Regards.

I got it.
root is available, what is reallly nice
60fps Video is available
Now i have a annoying sound when the phone boots, further booting time is very long.
No closing all button.
I hope i'll get Xposed working so i can fix these issues and turn off the LED signals
Edit: the boot sound can be disabled

You can't make an FTF file due to Sony's encryption. Best way for pre-rooted xperia firmware is thru Flashable PRF.
Soon enough there will be a 1 click easy root tool for lollipop for xperia phones so stick with stock unrooted for the meantime
(seriously it's been just a few days since the fw was released)
There are ways but only with unlocking the bootloader (no one click or whatsoever) so in the end the one above seems to be the easiest way... and it´s not that much time consuming to downgrade to .108 and upgrade afterwards...

You do not need root. Simply flash .108, root and flash back 157. It is really very easy and takes only several minutes.

Is there any thread for XZ2 Miui 6 on mi forums or could you share some screenshots.
Thank you.
Also, Is it required to go back to kitKat stock for flashing this ?

You can't install it with flashtool. You need to root and install reocvery.

There is a new root method for lollipop roms. You can find it in here in the general section. And yes you have to put the rom file in the SD card. I suggest you to read everything about root, bootloader unlocking, TA backup, and recovery and only start it.
