[Sony Xperia M2] StardustGeass:
Good news, I just found a way to root when it's bootloader locked for KK 4.4.4.

1. First of all, make sure you're already rooted, either on JB or on KK 4.4.2.

2. Second, update to 4.4.4 via OTA.

2a. If you're succeed, proceed to step 3.

2b. If not, flash JB FTF via flastool. Root it via towelroot, and update OTA to 4.4.2, then 4.4.4.

3. Install SuperSU (DO NOT UPDATE BINARY AT ALL)

4. Run flashtool app. Plug your phone. Then, on the second tab on your left (the one showing your phone model), select root --> root via towelroot.

5. Wait until process finished and your phone reboots.

6. Enjoy (Again, DO NOT UPDATE BINARY).

Have you found the FTF for global version yet?
[Sony Xperia M2] Miche1asso:
That' was my original idea. But there is better than that, apparently. We would just need the FTF for the JB and current kernels.:

- Flash JB kernel (and nothing else)

- Root with Easyroot (it's better than Towelroot because it can potentially do the rooting at Linux shell level even if Java bootlooops)

- Flash back the original kernel

At least it works on Xperia Z1

I actually started a thread for the method above. You may want to join if you are still unrooted.

Nope. All dead links.
[Sony Xperia M2] pidjong:
I tried this but after flashing the JB kernel. Phone wont boot. Endless on/off. With the OTA procedure, I cannot seem to have apply the kitkat update without having it connected via PC companion.

Nope. All dead links.[/QUOTE]
[Sony Xperia M2] StardustGeass:
Ah, I see.. There's another method too for it..

Hmm.. At least I've already tried the method I write before, and it succeeds (I always tried it for myself before posting). For the flashing JB kernel whole thing, perhaps I'll try later when there is another update...

I also still have a JB FTF file.. I'll share it when I able to get into decent, free WiFi XD
[Sony Xperia M2] Miche1asso:
Endless On/Off at Android or system level? Because if only Java is bootlooping it should be still possible to execute Easyroot. But if the phone actually switches off not a chance.

Well, the good news is that IT IS possible to make a full backup!! There is a small little nice system app, "Backup and restore" in English I suppose, that also backs up the downloaded apps with their data in the SD card! I have been googling for this everywhere, not finding anything, and it was under my nose in the app drawer.

Yeah, do it! I may go to visit my brother after that. What a crappy home internet connections I have.. :(
[Sony Xperia M2] pidjong:
Hi I've tried several methods and this works for me.

Flashed the JB 4.3 CE FTF and then I had the OTA update and tried your method and it works. Now I have 18.3.C.0.40 rooted.

Thanks mate! BTW what is your model variant? I've have used the 1281-1548 which has the OTA with the above mentioned. May I know what you use that has the 4.4.4 OTA update.
[Sony Xperia M2] StardustGeass:
At first I tried doing so, but one time I checked and there are some apps that are not included (i think one of it was my Brave frontier game), and the size also kinda suspicious (not as large as I'd imagined) so I decided to not try using that backup, and use a titanium backup instead..

If that app really turns out that good, it's a nice piece of software to put on Sony then :)

[MENTION=5423712]pidjong[/MENTION], I'm using a 2302, global variant... It shows update for 4.4.4
[Sony Xperia M2] Miche1asso:
I think the deal is that it backups the data only for the downloaded apps. Apks included. For that the size seems to match. For the system apps it may backup only the more critical data. Like settings, accounts, messages, and so on as described in the app itself. Still it would be nearly enough for me in case of a full wipe. At least I wouldn't have to redownload all the apps! Just the updates for the ones in /system (mostly Google stuff).

Sure I would use Titanium Backup instead, but to use it one needs root and the wipe may occur because I am trying to get root. :o
[Sony Xperia M2] AleksJ:
Confirmed. This method works for me also.

1. Flashing FW release : 18.0.C.1.13 for M2 D2303 (downloaded with XperiFirm, and create the *.ftf firmware file with Flashtool) .

2. Install Superuser using rootkitXperia_20140719() bundle.

Note that at this point I do not apply sony ric service patch because it break OTA e.g, reboot without successful update...

3. Update to KitKat ( 18.3.C.0.39 ) via OTA.

After OTA update root access is survived.

4. Apply the sony ric service path to allow mount and system r,w support.

And finally now I have a full rooted KitKat for my D2303 with LBL - (Bootloader unlock Status: No) .

[Sony Xperia M2] Dzepar:
Only with OTA update you'll keep root. You should downgrade to 4.3 root then update via ota.

Good Luck.

[Sony Xperia M2] Dzepar:
When you root it with Towelroot do not update super su. Root it don't update anything except Ota. When you finish with OTA update then update Supersu.

Good Luck.

Again same problem. I don't update superSU,and nothing ,pnly with ota but when ota starts after phone go off it's restarts and when phone is on i recive message, phone can not be updatet.. I follow this steps

[Sony Xperia M2] thocenski:
Anybody help ?
[Sony Xperia M2] AleksJ:
When OTA is unsuccessful in point 3, check and post the contents of this file - /cache/recovery/fota/report

The above method works perfectly for me, but I took off and did .ftf firmware for my operator.
[Sony Xperia M2] thocenski:
Where i can find this file ; on PC or phone ?

How i can make step 4 ?
[Sony Xperia M2] AleksJ:
This file is located on your phone.

It holds a log of the actions of OTA during the update, and obviously this might help you to understand why the update process failed in your case.

For the last step you can see my post here

or read the whole topic "Fix Mount System in Kitkat After Root"

Great instructions!

Thanks I was able to update, but I also updated to 18.3.1.c.1.13 using Sony Companion and lost root.

I tried to do EasyRoot but it is saying that phone is not rooted.

I tried reinstalling Towelroot but it is saying Phone is not supported. Any suggestions?

Thanks Very Much. It's Worked For My Xperia M2 Aqua D2403 :) Flashed JB D2303 Rom. Then Rooted Via Towel Root, Installed SUPERSU Via Play Market. Updated To KK From OTA (Update Center). Then Installed (Install.bat) From Easy Root Tools, Installed SUPERSU Into The System And It's Done. :) One Reason: My Phone Was D2403 And Now Is D2303 But Nothing Difference (No Problem). The Phone Is Fully Rooted And All Works Perfectly.

[XDA-University] Ankush menat:
In this small tutorial I'll explain how to extract apps from system images of Nexus devices using simg2img.

Requirements:

1. System.img or TAR file containing system.img. If you downloaded nexus images from Google sources you need to untar it to get .img file. Ubuntu's inbuilt archive extractor is enough for this.

2. simg2img - download it from mediafire (21KB file)

3. Computer running on Ubuntu or any other linux operating system.

Steps:

1. Create new folder in your home directory e.g. Nexus. Now move simg2img and system.img file to that folder.

​

2. Make the simg2img file executable. Right click on file>Go to permissions tab>Check "Allow executing file as program"

​

3. Create another folder in home directory e.g. nexussystem

4. Now lets make the image mountable.

CTRL+ALT+T
sudo apt-get install nautilus-open-terminal

Close terminal and browse to nexus folder. Right click and select open in terminal. Execute following commands...

./simg2img system.img nexussystem.raw

​

6. Mount the image.

sudo mount -t ext4 -o loop nexussystem.raw ~/nexussystem/

​

7. Browse the mounted image just like flash drive and copy all content you need. To unmount just click on eject icon.

Happy decompilation :D

Hello,

One of the XDA members have told me to get a CTIA to OTMP cable converter to make my earphones compatible with my Moto G 2014. But I couldn't find it in any Indian online store and the Chinese sellers on Ebay.com will take forever to deliver. Did anyone face this problem, what's the best place to buy 'em online and get it fast? Thank you!
[G 2014 Accessories] bhavin192:
DIY it's easy

You can create your own converter, it's easy

read about it here http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phone_connector_(audio)

only last two rings are interchanged. you have to buy one male and one female 3.5mm pin and joint according to CTIA standards one side and OMTP onother side.

I can make it for you but it will cost me ~₹75+

but I think you have to convert OMTP to CTIA in order to work with our phone
[G 2014 Accessories] mahendru1992:
Actually I was the guy who told him about the converter.

Could you expand on this more? Maybe a step by step process? Please!

What do you mean by the last 2 rings are interchanged? How can I interchange them? Where do I buy a male and female pin? I doubt this will be easily available in india
[G 2014 Accessories] bhavin192:
Pins are available, atleast in my City.

I will draw a small sketch later today and will show you how can you join it.

Actually I also want to make it :p
[G 2014 Accessories] mahendru1992:
Okay man, I'll be waiting. :D

oh and the pins are called what, pins? Like what do i ask the shopkeeper?
[G 2014 Accessories] bhavin192:
Pins are 3.5mm stereo pins with four rings and female pin of that pin.

Read the comparison on wiki link I have given you will understand what you have to do

Hey guys just recieved my Note Edge. Its the Japanese Docomo version. I totally misread the LTE band listing thinking it would work with T-Mobile LTE but it does not. But all is not lost i feel. I did some research and there is a way to unlock LTE bands on Qualcomm devices(as the chip does support all LTE bands world wide) It is a amazing looking device BTW and i Am very happy( I can use my Note 4 until I figure out how to unlock LTE on the EDGE for TMO) So i guess i have a few questions now.

1. Would rooting be theoretically the same as a note 4?

2. Would changing the modem once rooted allow for additional LTE bands to be used ?

3. would rooting using the Note 4 method change the note edge status ?

Just some things i was pondering, if anyone has suggestions I can test with the edge and let you know the outcome in the development forum
