Root Xperia ZL with Latest .244fw

I Take no credit for this I have done zero development work

All credits to the great [MENTION=2784807]DooMLoRD[/MENTION]

This is a just a Guide telling how to implement his method

Requirement

Latest Flashtool https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B8hAoiy5gSGVZU5zOHU4TFdJTkk/preview

latest Ftf file for fw .244

Ftf file for fw .423

Latest DoomLord Rootinf Kit v18 (no else would work in this case) http://www76.zippyshare.com/v/29480564/file.html

Make sure device is on latest .244 fw (If not then wait for the official update)

NOTE: We need complete file only to flash the Kernel.sin & Loader.sin

OR

Use the files provided by me which contain the required files only (easier method)

These kernel files are from C6502 if you have another device they might not work. In that case use the complete FTF files for your device and root using complete ftf method

Latest .244 file https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B8hAoiy5gSGVcDI4di1YTnNYSkU/edit?pli=1

Older fw.423 file https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B8hAoiy5gSGVbmtOY2lyMUc0OXM/edit?pli=1

How (Using complete ftf packages)

Flash only the kernel.sin & loader.sin from older .423ftf package using FlashTool

Uncheck all wipe options

Check all exclude option EXCEPT Exclude Kernel

Now flash this using flashtool

Reboot the device and make sure USB Debugging & Unknown Sources are allowed in settings

Now root using the latest DoomLord Kit v18 (No other version of kit will work)

Turn Off the Device and put in Flash Mode (Press Volume Down while attaching usb cable)

Now open the latest .244ftf package and repeat the check and uncheck process as earlier

Flash only the Kernel.sin & Loader.sin

Reboot the Device

Done !!

OR

How (Using given ftf files) EASIER WAY

These kernel files are from C6502 if you have another device they might not work. In that case use the complete FTF files for your device and root using complete ftf method

Flash the .423 kernel ftf package using FlashTool

Reboot the device and make sure USB Debugging & Unknown Sources are allowed in settings

Now root using the latest DoomLord Kit v18 (No other version of kit will work)

Turn Off the Device and put in Flash Mode (Press Volume Down while attaching usb cable)

Now open the latest .244kernel ftf package and flash it

Reboot the Device

Done !!

I take no responsibility for any kind of damage to your Phone

Do all this at your own risk

Yes, as long as you don't flash it
[Sony Xperia ZL] JRBT24:
Well, I technically flashed the kernels. What shouldn't I have flashed? XD

Anyway, no going back now. At the very worst, I'll just have to flash tfts in the future; not that much of a hassle now that I discovered

OK, I think I found the flashtool on Sony's web site, when I connect to Emma it says my bootloader is locked. I have to unlock the bootloader in order to just root?
[Sony Xperia ZL] DarkGonz:
No, you can root having yout bootloader locked :)
[Sony Xperia ZL] stevessvt:
OK, now where getting somewhere,....When I connect my phone to Emma, it says my bootloader is locked, and wont let me go any farther, I did it as Im supposed to, phone off, connect USB to phone while holding volume down. What am I missing?

Hallo and Good Day,

I'm Newbe in this Forum. My City is Ennepetal in Germany. Owner from XDA 2 and a very new XDA 2 i with a very big problem. I hope for help.

The first the date's from this engine:

ROM Version 1.11.01 GER

ROM Date: 01/27/05

Radio Version: 1.03.00

Protokoll Version: 1337.42

ExtendedROM: ............(nothing)

Following Problem (Sorry my english is not the best)

I have inside this ExetendedROM a Spion, Name is HZC.???

All what I do with this engine, he write this. Exemble: I push buttom ON/OFF, I go in Internet, Side? what you want, I check Time, Write a new File, all, realy all he write this and this is importend, he want to send this. Where? Idon't no. After some day is this Datei (File) 1480kb (writing in word)

I look for help. Somebody want to help me. So I become instruction for to do and I send the Copy of the ExtendedROM. Sometime I become answer: Hold on the Pushbuttom for ON/OFF together with SR (Hardreset) After the Starting push buttom SR against. So now I working with a fantastic clean engine.

Also, before I have a lot of problem with Progs from Spb, also with change sreen. Now, no problem. All running.

You think now, what want this poeple. Maybe he lay. The first when I have the greet luck to find out this problem. I make phone with the Hotline. No one, a lot.

It's possible to write me: Step for Step what I must do! Or I can to go with my engine.

Many thank for Your reading

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] CKRT:
I got an HTC One today, and wanted to install MIUI, as it is very similar to iOS and I've been using an iPhone since the 3G came out. I've jailbroken most of my devices so I figured rooting it would be a fairly similar experience. I was wrong. It was complicated, but nothing I couldn't handle. I get to the point where I flashed MIUI through TWRP and then flashed my boot.img through terminal. Tried to boot and got stuck at the animation logo for 15 minutes. Started troubleshooting trying to figure it out. Tried reinstalling, etc. One time I went to advance wipe and chose cache, dalvik cache, and internal storage on accident and wiped it. Immediately realizing what I had done, I knew I ****ed up. Followed some instructions to do a ADB Sideload and it worked, flashed my boot.img again and now I'm still stuck in that loop.

I don't know what to do at this point. I'm downloading the stock RUU so I can maybe just relock the bootloader and try again. Please explain any procedures to me like I'm 5. I'm very new to Android, and compared to the one click jailbreaking available to the iPhone, this is a little messy. :confused:

Appreciate the help in advance.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Hunt3r.j2:
Make sure you have the right version of MIUI. ADB push the zip in recovery and flash it. Don't flash boot.img.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] CKRT:
What commands do I type in to cmd after i cd \Android into the folder with that stuff? I'm unsure of how to push the zip installation onto the phone in recovery mode.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Nick281051:
Adb sideload sideload.zip
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] CKRT:
No luck sideloading the zip file either. I know it's the right file...
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Nick281051:
Did you rename the file sideload.zip?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] CKRT:
Yup. Tried it as MIUI.zip, then sideload.zip
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] CKRT:
Don't really know where to go from here. I cannot get out of the boot loop no matter what I try. I've flashed the boot.img through terminal, I've flashed it through Hasoon's AIOK and I still get stuck there.

I'm lost. :(
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] florelui001p:
I think you're fine with just choosing the zip file. You don't need to flash the boot.img. I've never had to flash a boot.img, just the zip file.

Do a factory reset, the Rom zip, and then flash. Only do those steps and see what happens.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] CKRT:
ngIfy which

I went ahead and used fastboot oem lock and executed the stock RUU. I'm up and running again with the stock stuff.

I really want to get MIUI up and running. Can anyone tell me what I need to do assuming I'm coming from a stock phone?

I know I need to:

Unlock bootloader again (with a terminal command or do I do the htcdev thing again?)

Flash a new recovery

Transfer the ROM

Flash the ROM

Restart to bootloader

Flash boot.img

Restart and hopefully have a working boot this time

Do I need to be doing anything with S-Off? I know the HTC Dev unlock only partially S-Off's..is that causing my problem?

Edit: using htcdev to unlock my bootloader isn't working. I get this message:

Error Code: Invalid Bootloader Token Length.

Error Reason: The submitted Token appears to be the wrong length and won't work.

Is this because I already unlocked the bootloader before? If so how do I unlock the bootloader after relocking it?

Edit 2: I am dumb. I just reused my unlock_code.bin.

About to try to reflash. Wish me luck!
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] dcemtp1:
You don't have to flash a boot.img
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] CKRT:
Everything says it was done successfully, but I'm still hanging on the boot logo for MIUI. Didn't flash a boot.img.

EDIT:

IT WORKS! I cleared my cache/data/davlik by using the regular wipe and it worked!

I know that since the Galaxy S4 runs 4.2.2 and Note 2 runs 4.1.2 (for some reason -.-) that the actual apk is not going to work, but does anyone have a different camera app that can do the same features, in particular i like the sound and shot feature, but I am looking for an app that can do most if not all the same features the s4 can do. Any suggestions?

As far as I can tell, this does everything but the sound and shot, otherwise the same camera and it is an .apk so very easy to install even for a noob like me
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Deleted member 4713821:
The problem with the 4.3 camera is my note 2 stock camera can do everything it does. The gs4 camera does even more than my stock camera. That is what im looking for
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigg fella:
Just curious but, what other features are you looking for? The only other things I see that are lacking are sound and shot, dual shot, and eraser shot, of which none interest me personally. Truthfully, the only extra I was looking for was the 360 shot. I do like the gallery better but it's missing a thing or two I like from the stock gallery

My current ROM has some laggy scrolling, but everything works well so I want to disable scrolling cache and see if that helps. I scowered the build prop but couldn't find anything relating to scrolling cache.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] The Illest 619:
should be in the framework.jar file and youre going to need some smali editing skills.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] The Illest 619:
Don't see it in build.prop What if you add the whole line in and reboot? I know on the s2 it was in framework.jar though and someone else mentioned that as well.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] 2ndammendment:
That's a good idea. I'll nandroid and try it. Does matter where I add the line?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] 2ndammendment:
Whoa... I added Persist.sys.scrollingcache=4 to the end of the build prop and the difference is huge. I just tested it out, pages that use to give me a lot of trouble with scrolling are now very smooth. I'll test some more to make sure it's not all in my head.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] The Illest 619:
Nice. Hopefully its not just a placebo but the difference should be noticeable if it did work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] 2ndammendment:
It's hard to tell because I also wipe the cache and dalvik when I did the mod. I made 2 nandroids one with the edit and one without. Testing now. So far scrolling is good on the rom without scrolling cache removed but I've noticed that my scrolling usually gets chunky after a couple days with a new rom so I'll have it wait and see If it actually makes a difference or if the difference I noticed at first was due to wiping the cache and dalvik.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gamepr:
Please let I'd know because that's the biggest complaint I have of this phone. I came from a nexus 4 where there is no lag at all.

N7102 is an original Samsung . Please refrain from giving wrong information if you don't know the answer.

The N7102 is dual-sim there is no need to mention it is the duo cuz there is no N7102 with only 1 sim.

N7100 = Standard

N7105 = LTE

N7102 = Dual-sim

You should check Mobile Odin. Maybe your device is supported. If it does you will have to root with SuperOneClick.(google it)
[Galaxy Note II General] warriorofice:
Ok, i think the user must say what model is exactly beacuse he sais that if from China, thats the reason that i think is a replica.
[Galaxy Note II General] kar200:
The writing is just what you see on a a normal phone exceot in english. I think you need to press the volume up button And it will enter download mode.

I have flashed custom recovery on 3 different 7102 phones. I dont own any so I cannot remember exaxactly what recovery is supported but ir should be on the n7102 custom rom thread (here in the general section.

To our friend who says its a replica the n7102 is a chinese market only phone that cosr nearly double your n7100 so no replica there.

I've been asking for help putting cyangenmod 7.2 on my Huawei M835 and found an article that gives the adb codes in terminal and explained you must put something named CWM on your laptop, and the recovery programme too, then put it all on your micro SD card and

do a "data wipe" in order to boot the phone into the new cyangenmod os.

There are several links in the article and it even describes an app called "goo" that allows you to download apps from Google Play.
