Interesting... the drive I have my temp folder on has ~ 418GB free... perhaps that was an anomaly...

IF I were to grab 0.4, would that work then? (I jumped straight from 0.3 to 0.5...)

i have create flashable zip for xperia L

but after flashing i am getting bootloop, device stopped on sony logo
[Sony Cross-Device General] zxz0O0:
What options did you check? Which recovery zip did you use? Link to ftf? Link to flashable zip?

I have checked tick all box expect fota kernel and i didn't use any recovery
[Sony Cross-Device General] zxz0O0:
Try creating a pre rooted firmware without checking anything. After flashing the firmware (also wipe cache/dalvik), flash the ftf with flashtool but check 'Except: System'. Let me know if you still get a bootloop.
[Sony Cross-Device General] s0ur0v:
bootloop again. i am going back to cm11
[Sony Cross-Device General] s0ur0v:
So i need to flash ftf by flashtool after flashing pre rooted flashable zip?

Actually i need to create a flashable zip which i can flash anytime anywhere without pc. But this process need flashtool after flashing zip!!!
[Sony Cross-Device General] zxz0O0:
Maybe you can upload your flashable.zip so I can check if there was something wrong processing it. Since you were on CM11 before, it may also be possible that you have to do a factory reset after flashing.

What I suggested before was just to find out the error. For example you can try:

Does the phone boot when you flash the pre-rooted firmware and afterwards flash firmware by flashtool (select Except: system)

Does the phone boot when you simply flash the firmware by flashtool?
[Sony Cross-Device General] hutilicious:

is this a problem?

[Sony Cross-Device General] zxz0O0:
Not really, however modem is not included. This is because Sony is using different sin names for some devices. I have already fixed it in new version (not released yet).

Hi,

I also have the Z3 Tablet Compact; can you take me/others step-by-step?

- I downloaded the 23.5.A.0.570 firmware via XperiaFirm (in my case, Customized US)

- planning to create .FTF but exclude all .TA files (was 3; now 5?)

- do / do not use RecRootv3 under "SupeSU"? (from what you posted, guessing no?)

- do use RICDefeat under.. Extra? also, the one I have for the SGP621 is from 2015;

same? or different/updated for MM?

- anything else?

[Sony Cross-Device General] Masoud.Ser:
hi

i make rom As:

dummy_flashable in supersu box and RecRoot-v4 in recovery box and check mark all in include

after make and flash with twrp 3.0.2 Occurs a bootloop

i tested with all wipes before flash and also Without wipe

but after flash only system rom with flashtools rom booted but no root and recovery

my device is Z5-unlock bootloader- rooted with kernel and drm restore-Fw185mm
[Sony Cross-Device General] petrmelis:
You have to flash Z2-6.0.1_570_bootloop_fix.zip
[Sony Cross-Device General] Masoud.Ser:
my device is Z5

Then why Z2??!!

.............

Where is original problem?

Incompatibility prfcreator? or recroot?

And why for some it's working properly?
[Sony Cross-Device General] rakeshbro:
Yeah that's for z2 not z5. I think he thought u have z2 :D

You can try this after flashing ur prerooted rom. Flash stock version ftf using Flashtool. Make sure to exclude /system in Exclude section.

If that didn't work then flash stock rom/Exclude system and select everything in wipe.

And try to use Supersu Systemmode from here instead of dummy_flashable.zip in supersu box.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Masoud.Ser:
As I mentioned before

I've tested the two Way but not work only with flash system in rom rom booted but after that no root and recovery
[Sony Cross-Device General] rakeshbro:
I had that problem too, when I used official super su.zip in supersu box. But when I've used systemmode supersu, and the bootloop.zip fix for my z2.That solved my problem. Now I've root + recovery :D

And also u can extract RecRootV4_combined.zip

RecRootV4_combined\RXSW\SuperSU\SuperSU.zip and use that zip in supersu box. That version supersu is also Systemmode.

Here's my steps :

Prerooted rom created with PRFCreator v1.3 ( D6503_23.5.A.0.575_Customized AU in "Ftf" :p SuperSu.zip From RecRootV4 As "SuperSu Zip" And RecRootV4_combined.zip in "Recovery Zip")

Rebooted into recovery flashed that prerooted rom + bootloop.zip.

That's All.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Masoud.Ser:
thanks

but for Z5 Does not exist bootloop fix.zip

It is for Z2
[Sony Cross-Device General] petrmelis:
The bootloop_fix works also on Z3 and .575 fw. I assume its more or less universal across xperia devices.
[Sony Cross-Device General] rcll:
Is bootloop issue only introduced on MarshMallow ROMs or also LoliPop ROMs? Recroot is only for MM or also for LP?

I am trying to make prerooted 10.7.A.0.222 R3E (5.1.1. LP) latest US customization on XperiFirm for Xperia ZL C6502.

In PRFCreator what version SuperSU Zip should I put and what Recovery Zip for 5.1.1 ROM?

Should I use latest BETA SuperSU (BETA-SuperSU-v2.74-2-20160519174328.zip)? Latest stable SuperSU (UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.65-20151226141550.zip)? Older version like 2.46?

Is latest XZDualRecovery Zip correct one to use? (ZL-lockeddualrecovery2.8.26-RELEASE.combined.zip)

Do I need to use any dummy file or any procedure after flashing to avoid bootloop or retain root?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Rootk1t:
For old devices, you don't need new files.

You need ordinary System SuperSU, like any preceding 2.52 (2.46 is OK), XZDR 2.8.26 and you don't need any dummy files, etc. They are only for MM ROMs.
[Sony Cross-Device General] SwiftSmoke:
sorry about this guys ran into a problem making a pre rooted 575 today. Not sure if its prf or flashtool so ill probably post this on both threads. Heres what happened.

1. Downloaded latest firmware with xperfirm, when completed and said it detected xml file i said yes. But i noticed TA files were automatically in it.

2. Created my own ftf from original download excluding all TA in file it then said xml detected but i said no this time

3 Created PRF flashable with 2nd version firmware with UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46 and Z2-lockeddualrecovery2.8.21-RELEASE.flashable used twrp andwiped cache and dalvik

Unfortunately ended up in Sony xperia boot picture boot loop.

Im wondering where ive gone wrong been a while since I needed to flash :/

So my questions are

1 Is anything in my steps obviously wrong and cause boot loop that i missed?

2. These xml files used to make ftf essential?

3. Do we need TA files in firmware building now has something changed?

using flashtool 9.22.2
[Sony Cross-Device General] petrmelis:
Its been said many times here. For MM like yours .575 you need to use dummy_file.zip in SuperSu and RecRootv4.zip in Recovery when you making your prerooted.zip in PRFcreator.

RecRoot include supersu and recovery etc. Dont forget to flash bootloop_fix.zip after you flash yours prerooted .575 while you in recovery otherwise you end up in bootloop.
[Sony Cross-Device General] SwiftSmoke:
sorry didnt mention this is for z2, forgot this thread isnt in z2 section. Is the above still valid ?
[Sony Cross-Device General] petrmelis:
Yes.
[Sony Cross-Device General] ralphel:
hey guys

is the bootloop_fix.zip specific for certain model or it's a universal zip for all xperia?

will the bootloop be fixed after I flash the Z2-6.0.1_570_bootloop_fix.zip on my z3 compact?

thanks
[Sony Cross-Device General] petrmelis:
I'm not 100% sure but i personaly tried it on Z2 fw .570 and .575 . I believe that it works on Z3 too just like RecRootV4.
[Sony Cross-Device General] ralphel:
thanks
[Sony Cross-Device General] dmillburn:
Help please guys - thought I'd done this successfully but I've hit a problem with a no SIM card message after upgrading. I was upgrading my UK unbranded Z3C to MM so downloaded D5803_Customized UK_1288-4954_23.5.A.0.575_R10D via flashtool and created a FTF (included all the files at this stage, is that right?). I then created the firmware using dummyfile and recroot v4 as above, flashed this from recovery and then flashed the bootloopfix.zip.

So far so good, or so I thought. Everything seemed fine initially (I have MM and recovery working etc) but only a "No SIM Card - no service" message now. Where have I gone wrong please?
[Sony Cross-Device General] petrmelis:
Dont know what exactly you mean by this? You not including anything anywhere, just download selected firmware in flashtool and than you find .ftf file in .flashtool folder somewhere in your C: drive. Everything in PRFcreator seems to be all right to me.

One thing you can try now is to flash same ftf in flashtool but excluding system and see if it is any better?
[Sony Cross-Device General] dmillburn:
Thanks but got it sorted now - the z2bootloopfix was the problem,. Just to confirm for ralphel above and for any other Z3C users it's not required at all so just ignore that step otherwise you'll get the "No SIM card" issue I had. After a bit of trial and error I reflashed without that zip and everyone is now working fine. All good - we all know flashing firmware is no fun without at least one moment of thinking you've brocken your phone anyway!
[Sony Cross-Device General] petrmelis:
Good to know you solved the problem of bootloop fix and z3c.
[Sony Cross-Device General] ralphel:

Hi all,

I have a Z3 D6603 with locked BL and rooted stock LP rom. I am used to creating my own pre-rooted roms + dualrecovery but I understand I now need to use recroot v4.

One thing I can't find clear instructions on is about .ta files. As I create the tft with flashtool which .ta files should I keep / exclude in order to avoid having a simlock issue or corrupted TA partition ?

The stock rom I got from Xperifirm contains the following (auto-boot.ta ; cust-reset.ta ; fota-reset.ta ; osv-restriction.ta ; simlock.ta ; Leo_S1BootConfig_MiscTA.ta )

Or is it in PRFcreator I need to exclude something ?

use legacy mode, edit ext4 file under linux machine, then replace stock one with your edited in PreRooted ROM's zip file.

P.S: Don't screw up anything while editing system or you'll get not booting ROM.

FOTAkernel is recovery for unlocked bootloader, that should be flashed with fastboot to FOTA partition.

Once again, this worked for my Xperia Z2 Tablet SGP512 US. I came off 5.x.x and 23.1.A.1.28 so it had been a while since I made a prerooted firmware. But with the excellent guidance from kulvertti and his thread, http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z2-tablet/general/latestlollipopprerooted231a128z2-tabletsgp511-t3100821 , it all came back, slowly.

XperiFirm_5.0.0 to download update for my device.

FlashTool64-0.9.22.3 to build the .ftf and I excluded all of the .ta files.

In PRFCreator_v1.3

I used kulvertti's dummy SuperSu file from here for SuperSU Zip section:

https://mega.nz/#!ZEAnDQLQ!23AD-mnilnUO_bg1UND0gcWfIMjqK00BLPCo0ETESEE

For Recovery Zip section I used RecRootV4_combined.zip which has twrp and su and everything needed.

In PRFCreator_v1.3 I checked off the 4 'include' boxes on the right, Kernel, FOTAKernel, Modem, and LTALabel and even the 'Sign zip' box I checked and it worked perfectly. Maybe 5 minutes or so at most.

I loaded the Flashable.zip onto my external sdcard in the tablet and flashed from twrp recovery I had on the system from [NUT]'s TabZ2-lockeddualrecovery2.8.21-RELEASE when I originally rooted. Thanks again to [NUT] for that.

[Sony Cross-Device General] casouzaj:
The pre-rooted ROM you have created is in zip format. You need a custom recovery to flash it. Your phone must be rooted beforehand. Look here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2261606

Here's what I used:

[Sony Cross-Device General] bit_creepy:
This is a great little tool. So simple and makes flashing so much easier. My only promple is that I can not get extra zips to install. I have no trouble at all installing FTF, Recovery and SuperSu, but when I add Xposed framework for example it will not install via TWRP.

When creating the flashable-prerooted-signed.zip no errors occur in the log, so I'm wondering whether I'm doing something wrong? I've tried changing the filenames of the zip to something short and simple like xposed.zip but this makes no difference.

The xposed.zip works fine when I flash it normally via TWRP, but for convenience I'd love to have it baked into the flashable-prerooted-signed.zip

Any suggestions?

Nougat Firmware?

Hi all,

I've been using this great tool over the time on my Z1 compact.

I've just switched to the X compact, so I would ask (since I don't see newest devices in the thread):

- does it work with lastest xperia devices (X Compact for me) and latest Android versions / Sony Firmwares?

- what's about the DRM keys and related fatures (like camera)?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Nown:
I would also like to know what happens to DRM-requiring features with this mod. I have my keys backed up, and with Tobias Waldvogel's script it used to be possible to flash them back and get full functionality...

[Sony Cross-Device General] Nown:
Yes, but that's the problem, my bootloader is unlocked... So no DRM-fix with this tool, right?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Rootk1t:
If your bootloader is unlocked TA partition with DRM is wiped. Though, if you have them backed up, it is not a problem.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Nown:
Ok, I can indeed relock my bootloader, since I've got a backup of my DRM keys. But then if I do, can I still install TWRP and this pre-rooted firmware? I understand that the OP seems to say so, but I thought the whole point of the locked bootloader was to prevent that (?!)

If TWRP is installed in /system/ you can. If not, you can't.

I've been running rooted 4.4.4 KitKat with dual recovery (thanks to [NUT]'s tool set) on my Z3C for some time now. Am I right in thinking that I can use this PRFCreator tool to build a complete 6.0.1 Marshmallow ROM, rooted and with dual recovery, that I can just flash using the TWRP already on my device?

That just sounds too easy!

FWIW my bootloader is unlocked and my DRM keys are long gone (the phone was like that when I bought it, used, off eBay). I believe that I should be able to recover the DRM functions by flashing the appropriate zip from here (it certainly worked on KitKat, using an earlier incarnation of the process).
