Just do as has been said a thousand times...

Downgrade to .532 - see my downgrade thread

Root using either [NUT]'s dual recovery or bin4ries tool - see thread in step above or LordManhattans guide

Backup the TA - see LordManhattons guide

Upgrade to latest FTF

Unlock bootloader

Root using jackies099's kernel

...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] OrangeMagicGod:
After hours of reading and searching around and trying to follow what LordManhattan said.

I have the phone down to 523.

I now have the bootloader unlocked

Just not sure on the rooting of the phone..

With Flashtool can I simple press the Lock key and root it that way? I don't know the difference between Superuser or SuperSU

Or do I have to do it another way?

I have looked at a number of rooting options and am unsure what to do, one way the links on the guide didn't work others are little confusing! :(
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
The order you have done it in is just wrong, so wrong... But what's done is done

Now that the bootloader is unlocked just flash a 757 FTF and install jackie099's kernel http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2714511 and then flash SuperSu from recovery
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Sadman Khan:
Did you just skip backing up TA partition? Because if you did, that just defeats the purpose of downgrading
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] OrangeMagicGod:
Morning peeps,

No atm I stopped at unlocking the bootloader after the downgrade, I have tried to run the Backup-TA-9.10 app but it fails on detecting Root cause obviously mines not rooted.

So regarding backup am not sure what am supposed to do, as all threads seem to point to that you require root to backup o.0

blueether I have read so many threads my eyes feel like they are going to bleed, like my original post stated, it seems to be a loop I was getting stuck in.

I cant backup without root from all the threads comments

I cant root without backup for safety and bootloader unlocked, and to unlock bootloader it seemed I had to be a specific version namely 532 to unlock.

So I have got somewhere, instead of pulling my hair out going no where :(

I hope the way I have moved forward doesn't or hasn't caused any possible lose of keys etc, so the question is, how do I backup before trying the next step of root?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
Read post 6 above, follow all the steps in tat order

Sent from CarbonROM on my Z-Ultra
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] OrangeMagicGod:
Blue I was going to use the Binary link but cant figure out how to download it, it mentions in the post to ask members for a working link if you have difficulty.

Do you have one by chance?

Thanks!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Speederoff:
Hey dude, what's going on? .. have you successfully root yet?

Which step is you dont understand to ROOT? .
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] OrangeMagicGod:
Done the downgrade!

2.Root using either [NUT]'s dual recovery or bin4ries tool - see thread in step above or LordManhattans guide

Its the above, gone to Bin4ries post, the links don't seem to download for me? so cant get the tool to do the root

3.Backup the TA - see LordManhattons guide - should be able to do that, its working to the point of seeing it's not rooted, so not worried about that part!

4.Upgrade to latest FTF

5.Unlock bootloader - Already done by mistake thinking it was done easiler :S

6.Root using jackies099's kernel

7....

The thing I have noticed as well atm which am slightly worried about, is my sim card says invalid atm, hoping that changes when it's all finished :P
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Speederoff:
Lol, you shouldn't unlock bootloader =.=" if you only required ROOT =.=".

if you worried, flash stock rom and redo to root?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] OrangeMagicGod:
Well am confused and lost atm.

Point 2 and Point 6 to me, are they not the same thing?

Trying to carry out Point 2, I cant get any of the software it seems as I cant get the links to work :(

So atm I have a phone working but telling me my sim is "invalid card - no service" currently

Any help for links to the Nuts, or Binary software would be grateful
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
the sim/imei problem shouldn't have happened if you followed my guide, but dont worry, it will come back after step 4

for step to use http://nut.xperia-files.com/?dlid=WlUtbG9ja2VkZHVhbHJlY292ZXJ5Mi43LjEyMy1CRVRBLmluc3RhbGxlci56aXA= from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2647492 and follow the instructions in post 2

Step 2 is only so we can get a backup of the TA so that it is safe to unlock the bootloader

Step 4 when you update to the latest FTF you will lose root

Step 5 will allow you to get root any time you want without having to do the downgrade dance

Step 6 is needed because the stock kernel wont keep write access to the system. This step also re-installs recovery so that you can flash the superSU update binary
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] OrangeMagicGod:
Hi Blue,

Feel like am getting my self further and further into the **** with this :(

I was able to find bin4ries tool after searching on the net for awhile, and used that as advised, which has worked and didn't seem to be a problem, the SU appeared etc.

I then did the Backup which again has gone fine.

I updated what I thought was the latest TFT C6833_14.1.b.2.257_euro-lte.ftf from one of the links but looking at the phones version am still showing 532

That's the stage am at with still the sim/imei issue :(

I have downloaded the link you have provided for the lockeddualrecovery looking at it, I get options to

1. installation on ROM rooted with SuperSU

2. "" "" " with SUperUser

3. installation on unrooted ROM

4. exit

at this stage am not sure what to do, as I thought getting all the other steps completed now would have solved this.

Think am starting to regretting trying this :( and feeling like a total tool!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
OK so you are past step 3 now and you have a rooted phone with a backed up TA partition.

Step 4

You will want to flash https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B51NBUj0yr7FNmtzWlhrT2JaOU0&export=download with the lates flashtool from https://unrestrict.li/flashtool instructions are in LordManhattan's guide I think

Step 5

Unlock the bootloader - see LordManhattan's guide again

Step 6

Follow the steps in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2714511
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] OrangeMagicGod:
Hi Mate,

So do I need to user the lockeddualrecovery still (going to assume not)

The link for the google doc doesn't work am getting an error trying to access it :o

I have the latest Flashtool installed and ready
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
No you don't need to run the dualrecovery script now you are rooted

try this link for the 757 FTF https://mega.co.nz/#!9Q4SSAoR!jz6BQ89kt8IQtoBlcBKUyVtt76izzTTUz2X1Ruy_gjA if that doesn't work have a search around the forum, doesn't really matter what country version you use
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] OrangeMagicGod:
Thanks Blue,

You have been an utter star and your constant support has been utterly appreciated!!!!

Everything has gone through smoothly and Kernel/TFT/SuperSU is all on and my sim/imei has kicked back into life :)

Thank you for your time and guidance!!!

[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yesyesimanoob:
I'm considering this as my next phone, but have one question for all you folks who already own one.

I currently own an Xperia T, which also has 16GB built in, with 12GB being available for apps and files. However, the 12GB is further partitioned into 2GB for apps and 10GB for media files (when I go to Settings > Storage, I see the partitions as "Device Memory" and "Internal Storage", respectively). This is really inconvenient for me because I'm constantly filling up the apps partition.

Manually moving app data to storage or SD card helps a bit, but doesn't solve the problem because then I can't use widgets, and it does break some apps when I use TiBU to move apps that don't normally allow themselves to be moved.

So, can someone kindly tell me whether the Z1C has the same kind of partitioning? And is it also a 2GB apps : 10GB files division? Some screenshots would be particularly helpful.

Thanks in advance!
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alex_hk90:
I'm pretty sure it's just one 12 GB partition. In Settings > Storage on my Z1 Compact (running KitKat 4.4.2) it just has the one Device Memory partition of 11.79 GB Total space including Apps; Pictures, videos; Audio; Downloads; etc.

Hope this helps. :)

However, when the PDF files are emailed to me, once I select the attachment from Gmail the PDF view opens but doesn't display anything. This also happens if I download the file tot he sd card and try to open them that way.

Install a program that can handle PDFs like Adobe Reader or ezPDF or something.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sn0warmy:
Adobe Reader solved the problem. Thanks!

Prior to trying Adobe Reader I made sure Google Drive was installed and functioning properly but no matter what I did the PDF's wouldn't open. I'm surprised Google Drive couldn't take care of this, forcing me to resort to using Adobe.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raptir:
Google Drive only allows you to access files stored on Google Drive. Quickoffice (also by Google, and installed by default on the Nexus 5) will handle it as well. I recommend Adobe Reader only because I've had trouble with some more complex PDFs in Quickoffice.

Hi all,

I have never flashed a custom rom on a phone before so this is very new to me. I want to flash the following rom to my phone, but don't want to brick my phone.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2715408

Is there a guide or anyone one willing to take the time to guide me through how to do this. I have downloaded and installed JDK and the ADT bundle. I have also downloaded TWRP 2.7 for my phone, and also the image from XDABBEB's thread. After that, I don't know where to begin.
[General Questions and Answers] kx1224:
I've been trying to flash a new kernal on my (rooted) Kacaso M766 and there really isn't much support for it anywhere.

Nevertheless, I have (as far as I know) successfully installed adb. Everything appears fine in adb, at least. Using the "devices" command shows the tablet, back up works, resetting adb with the root permission command works, and I was able to create a debug dump, but when I use the reboot to bootloader command, my tablet reboots to the OS still.

Any ideas of what could be wrong?

I can't get to the bootloader via button combinations, but I've figured out how to get to Fastboot and Recovery with button combinations and even safe mode, but none of them bring up the bootloader screen. There are only three buttons but like I said, little to no support for this manufacture so it might be some strange button combo for all I know.

Also when I go into fastboot then plug in a USB the tablet shows up as WM8950. Any idea what drivers would I use?

Any help would be welcome. :good:
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rayman121985:
Hey all,

I had my Note 3 TMOBILE SM-N900T rooted and it was running the Jedi mod. I tried installing the Hyperdrive mod with the new S5 UI ect...

It said it finished installing but it reboots and hangs. I can't power it off. It keeps turning itself back on and hanging. I CAN get into download mode.

I can't get ODIN to see it.

Is there a way to fix this? How can I get a stock rom again or anything at this point?

Thank you!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misterjunky:
re: odin

First try this, remove battery and wait 10 seconds then replace battery.

Then press & hold the home&power&volume down buttons at the same

time until it goes into download mode, connect usb cable.

If that fails then #1 try a different usb cable, #2 a different usb port

and last but not least uninstall the usb drivers, restart the computer

and install fresh Samsung usb drivers for your phone.

Good luck!

Basically, what you need to do is to flash latest TWRP custom recovery via Odin to your phone.

TWRP: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3/orig-development/recovery-twrp-2-6-3-0-touch-recovery-t1943592

After that you don't really need to root even if they tell you so in most general guides. You can move straight on to downloading the custom ROM you wanted to your SDcard, boot into recovery and flash zipfile from there.

Make sure you understand what you do otherwise chances are to brick your device. Follow guides exactly, never flash a file not intended for your specific device.
