Hey guys, I've made the pre-rooted 23.4.A.1.200 zip.
NEWS
I've made a zip to flash the entire update, no need to flash ftf after you flash the zip anymore, but I haven't tested it. You can download the zip here.
Instructions1. Copy the zip to the internal/external SD card of your phone.
2. Boot your phone into recovery (TWRP recommended).
3. Install the zip in recovery. After you have flashed it, DON'T FORGET TO WIPE CACHE AND DALVIK CACHE.
4. Turn off your phone.
5. Using flashtool, flash the 23.4.A.1.200 firmware, but EXCLUDE PARTITION, TA, SYSTEM. Also, make sure you don't flash simlock.ta(I don't have it, but I think it's included in TA). If you are using the FTF I've posted, you won't have to disable TA and simlock.ta, because I've removed them.

What do you mean by dirty flash? If you mean by simply following the instructions from the first post, then yes, you can, that's what I did
Why do you need the flashtool after flashing the zip in TWRP? I thought it's either or ... but not both!?

Very valid question, I also find no reason to use flashtool after flashing the prerooted zip
After flashing this i try to use ES File Explorer to edit System and I get message saying Sorry test failed and the System is only mounted as Read Only.
I had the same when I made my own roited version of 23.4.A.1.200 using PRFCreate a few days ago. Hoped it wouldn't be there on this one but its the same. Is it just me or an I missing something? No problem on 23.4.A.0.546

Because I have not included the kernel and the other things in the archive, sorry for that. I will make another .ftf file without system partition, so it would be smaller. Also, as far as I know, you can't flash kernel from recovery with a locked bootloader(sorry if I am wrong).

1. Downgrade to 4.4.2, root it, install recovery and follow the instructions in the first post
OR
2. Downgrade to 5.0, root using this method(I never tested it, and someone said that the app sends your IMEI code to a chinese database) and assuming you have recovery, follow the instructions in the first post.
The first method would probably force you to wipe your data(I am not sure about this, but having 5.1 data on a 4.4.2 firmware doesn't sound good/stable. If you can handle the force stops, good job then). Not very sure about the second method.

So you're saying you're not rooted? Do you still have recovery? If yes, then download UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip and flash it(yet it is strange, because it's included in my zip).

This Firmware what region?

Hello Everyone.
Yesterday, I updated my "Global" Z1 firmware to Android 4.3 and then {Of course} I had no root. I already had a TA backup from 4.2 (534) and already un/relocked the bootloader so I am not worried about warranty. So I tried something to get Full root on Locked bootloader.
What I basically did is that I unlocked the bootloader, turned on USB debugging, downloaded doomkernel (Made by @DooMLoRD) and then in fastboot I wrote the command:
Code:
fastboot boot boot.img
Then it restarted and booted doomkernel once (fast boot filename.img makes the phone boot that kernel once) and then flashed the latest SuperSU zip using TWRP recovery (VOL Down) and then went to Advanced → Fix Permissions. Then tried mounting /system as R/W but with no success. So I then flashed doomkernel using the following fastboot command:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
and then installed the latest XZDualRecovery by @[NUT] and then I had 4 recoveries So I flashed stock kernel and XZDualRecovery wasn't uninstalled, So what I did is that I flashed the SuperSU zip again (using TWRP) and then booted up.
In the first boot, I couldn't mount /system as R/W but I restarted for some reason. and tried to mount as R/W and it worked!
So I relocked my bootloader (by restoring the TA) and now I have full root on TOTALLY STOCK 4.3 Locked bootloader :victory:
Now, when I go to /system/etc/init.d I find a file named "99SuperSUDaemon" and I remember reading somewhere that init.d has something to do with what should work on boot (other than system booting things, cuz I only see that file). So maybe that fixed the "Partial root" problem. Don't know where it came from, but it works :highfive:
Just thought that it might be good to share some info with others, might be useful for people who doesn't want to use ftf's of other places like someone in MEA (me) doesn't want to use UK or US or any other ftf cuz of more bloatware.
Regards,
~J2C
May I ask you how you can verified if you have a Full Root or Semi Root?
Well, I have been removing system apps and I can mount /system as R/W.
If there's a way I can check, please tell me how.
Edit: I actually don't know what does "Semi Root" mean.
Regards,
~J2C
That was allready told here, with links to the description.

Yes, I have full root.
In case if you're on 4.2 and you can OTA to 4.3 (and you have root) try to copy the file 99SuperSUDaemon to /system/etc/init.d and then reboot, uninstall dual recovery, update to 4.3 OTA and check if you have full root. If you DO have full root, then you can install XZDualRecovery again and enjoy android.
Edit: uploaded the file, unzip (NOTE: it's NOT a flashable zip!) and copy it to /system/etc/init.d and give it permissions rwsr-xr-x

I do not use OTA, I don't have it. So I have to find a different way. I can only update to 4.3 from recovery or flashtool.

I can go to cwm and create a flashable zip from there and give it to you if you want
@eclyptos
I know you didn't ask for a 4.3 flashable zip but here it is:
Update.zip
I don't know if something needs to be removed from the zip, but all I did is that I wen to cwm and clicked on "Clone ROM to update.zip" and then uploaded it to google drive.

Root for locked bootloader but need to be unlock-able?!
If the BL is unlockable then it is useless to say it is for locked bootloader, if it's lock it's lock.
Once it is unlocked user can flash a pre rooted rom or kernel...

The download link for the rom works fine for me, yeah just saw the encryption of super su
You can search for the super su fix and download from somewhere else its only needed for rooting the rom
Download SuperSU directly from Chainfire's site - http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu
I really don't know why people are renaming his zip and hosting it elsewhere.

So, just to be sure because i've never done this procedure for rooting before.
After flashing the rom, xz dualrecovery and update-supersu zip files, i use flashtool to flash the .ftf file and uncheck all wipe data boxes, and exclude everything except fota,kernel and baseband, am i correct?
It's the last part with the exclusions that i didn't get completely right..sorry if i look like an idiot :cyclops:

that's strange i flashed the file and everything worked fine
What error message did you get? If it was a md5 error then download the file again and then flash it
i get error extracting update-binary if i remember correctly...
anyway after trying some other methods, i managed to unroot my phone..
I'm gonna try your method again, since my phone is kinda messed up now..
flashed the zip but got an error during setting permission
now wifi does not work anymore
same here, just tried again..
set_perm: some changes failed
E:error executing updater binary in zip
Error flashing zip...
Failed
About the wifi, i think it has something to do with the flashtool exclude options..when i tried with this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50234676
wifi worked fine, i had root but some weird issued occurred as i described in the above thread..
and after i tried for a second time, i lost root...so i am back from the beginning...
just to mention i have lb, but i guess it doesn't matter when flashing stock kernels, right?
its going to crash out on
set_perm(1002, 1002, 0440, "/system/etc/dbus.conf");
as there doesn't appear to be a dbus.conf in the zip.
as the remaining permissions then aren't set it could well be why the sensors and wifi etc don't play nicely.

If you already had recovery installed before installing lollipop, all you need to do is flash KK kernel so it will boot into it.

Not me. At the end of this, what do I have? It seems like it's a way to get into recovery on Lollipop, maybe for a nandroid backup or other task, but then when the 690 kernel is flashed, do I lose recovery?
CAL7, Yes and no..
You still have recovery files inside your lolipop system, but you can't boot into it because it' doesn't work under lolipop fw.
The trick is that recovery isn't in kernel but in system and you change kernel to be able boot into recovery or into system..
With KK kernel you can boot into recovery, and then you have to reflash lolipop kernel to boot system. That's it..

2- My device is unlocked bootloader so I use other method but you can try and report
I think it's just code line
hey im going to try this out a little later. have lollipop up and running on my LB device with R/W access
lets see if i can get back into recovery. i want to try and flash xposed. i have backups on top of backups so im all good
My Z3C (5803) is on Lollipop, rooted, but without system r/w. I had been thinking that I'd have to go back to KitKat to reflash one of the r/w-included .690 ROMs. But, with this method, can I just flashtool the KK kernel, boot into recovery, and flash a slightly modified (i.e. with the r/w fix) .690 zip?

can I only flash boot so I have recovery? Also what kernel is it? I guess it's not stock 5.1.1? Or is it?

It's the stock firmware.All i did was root it and install the dual recovery.
I would advice to flash the whole firmware if you want to avoid any kind of complications.
And of course make a nandroid backup before flashing.
Its no flash zip.

The problem is that I already installed stock 5.1.1 and set it up, so I was wandering can you make flashable kernel with recovery? And how did you installed dual recovery? I am curious of how do you do it on newly kernel. I remember it took some time for 5.0.2 kernel to be made with custom recovery.

I'll see what i can do for the kernel.
It's for C6602 but you can flash it on a C6603. The only difference is that C6603 supports LTE but C6602 does not.
You can try it if u want to see the differences with the one you have and let me know!
For Dualrecovery, i used PRFCreator to create the pre-rooted firmware and i included Dualrecovery!No need to mess around with the kernel directly!

Hello, I think you can't.
Because boot isn't in BIN format you can't flash only kernel. And it's in multiple parts, boot, fotakernel, dualrecovery.
I'm too looking for stock kernel with recovery to root, I have unlocked bootloader.
See picture

If you are talking about flashing it using recovery,either CWM or TWRP, he definitely can.
All you have to do is place the .zip file in your sdcard,boot into recovery on your phone,do the necessary wipes and install the .zip.That's all.
But if you are talking about flashing it using flashtool then yes he can't use this file.For that he needs the FTF files which isn't the one provided here.

He is talking for flashing only kernel, but nevermind that, I already installed your ROM, works fine, only problem is that in recovery i can not mount system, and every attempt to flash a mod is giving me error, is there any solution for that?

It think that's because the framework for Xposed isn't installed so you can't falsh any mods.I do not use Xposed so i didn't include it in the .Zip

hey man, I can't flash a thing through recovery, it always says system is not mounted, and when I go and try to mount it, it wont let me. So i thought perhaps it problem with TWRP but Phillz recovery does the same, can you check if you are able to flash something?

Give me a link of one of the mods you are trying to flash and i'll try it and see how it goes.
have the same problem , system cannot be mounted therefore any attempt to flash anything to inject into the system over twrp is doomed . i tried to flash the drm workaround for lost noise reduction functionality in the camera . i did advanced wipe with all partitions cleared only internal sdcard unticked . cheers n thanks for the rom
umm... sorry but apparently, the name of file in download page is c6603. are you sure it's for c6602?

Yes,it's just a naming mistake on my part.
But the only difference is the support of LTE.everything else is the same
ROM downloaded with XperiFirm and pre-rooted with PRFCreator.
Firmware version: 14.6.A.1.236
CDA (customization version): 1280-7864 (Customized CE1)
It contains SuperSU 2.46 andXZDualRecovery 2.8.23 (it will overwrite your current recovery).
You need to be on any rooted ROM already with TWRP custom recovery to flash a .zip file with this firmware!
You don't loose any data (but make your backup before upgrading), you keep root, you update your firmware to the newest Lolipop 5.1.1 build .1.236
IMPORTANT: Flash the ROM with TWRP, not Phillz Touch Recovery.
It can be flashed on locked bootloader.
Download link: Mega
Notes:
Do a factory reset if you're experiencing any strange problems.
Super! Thanks! I waited for it! Can you do deodex patch for this rom?
Thanks for that! BTW, will this overwrite my current TA partition? I've got DRM restoring patch and I have to keep old TA partition. thanks for response
I'm not sure about TA, sorry. My bet would be it does not overwrite TA.

Did you flash with Philz Touch Recovery? Then this was the culprit.
I did this two times and lost root and recovery as you
The recommended recovery to use is TRWP.

Nope, everything works fine I've already installed Camera v2, Xposed, SerajrXposed, home from z5 premium and Sonico Audio mod, haven't encountered any problem so far.
What's changed compared with 216?

what firmware you had before flash? I flashed that over 14.5.A.0.270. is that problem?
@xdomx
Yeah, it might be the problem. I had .216 before.
There is such info on XZDR page:
When installing custom STOCK BASED ROMs:
Be sure to flash XZ/ZL/TabZ/Z1/ZU-lockeddualrecovery[VERSION]-BETA.flashable.zip from http://nut.xperia-files.com after installing the ROM and before you reboot, this way you will not lose recovery!
Maybe this step is needed now (it wasn't before). So after flashing ROM zip, flash XZDualRecovery zip and SuperSU zip.
If someone confirms this, please let me know.
Do I have to remove xposed before flashing it? If yes, how can I do it?
No, but you need to update it if you're on old version that doesn't support Android 5.1
