I,ve extracted kernel and ramdisc from boot.img that i get from first page <root method>

but i,ve failed to extract stock boot.img.

but i hope this will help.

Here is list of files.

BOOT-EXTRACTED\zimage

BOOT-EXTRACTED\boot.img-ramdisk\init

BOOT-EXTRACTED\boot.img-ramdisk\logo.rle

BOOT-EXTRACTED\boot.img-ramdisk\sbin\busybox

BOOT-EXTRACTED\boot.img-ramdisk\sbin\init.sh

BOOT-EXTRACTED\boot.img-ramdisk\sbin\ramdisk.cpio

BOOT-EXTRACTED\boot.img-ramdisk\sbin\ramdisk-recovery-cwm.cpio

BOOT-EXTRACTED\boot.img-ramdisk\sbin\bootrec-device

do not flash anything thay are not flashable.

i don,t have d2203 i can,t make any cwm for this device.but if you want then study about kernel and then make one and then flash it. or be easy wait for experinced developers to make kernel.

i woud say keep learning about kernel.

i have cwm but still learning about to mod it.
[Sony Xperia E3] Pandoxyd:
Okay I will just try adb method and learn about kernel during waiting for news ;)
[Sony Xperia E3] vinay:
if adb method fail,s post here which command you used so i can check it works for mine or not also post a screenshot of cmd

to do this press prtSc SysRq button on keyboard and go to paint and right click paste.

if adb work then you don,t need to do this. just post it worked.

You Have PM
[Sony Xperia E3] Pandoxyd:
Hello !

So I've tried to enable write/read access to system's folder by ADBshell but, I've failed XD

I launched "adb remount rw /system" and CMD answers me "remount failed : Perminssion denied"

I verify my root with "adb su" and I've got "$" in front of my commands ($ = no root in adb documentation)

So finally, my root method is not the best for people wich want a deep rooting mode. Searching for a root kernel for D2203 ^^"
[Sony Xperia E3] vinay:
adb remount rw /system won,t even work for me it is incorrect command i will tell you correct command

and adb su is not even a command.

---------- Post added at 02:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:53 PM ----------

ok here is the correct commands with proof

adb shell

su

mount -o remount,rw /system /system

if you can,t undersand adb/fastboot then just use esfileexplorer in root mode to copy/move files to /system

for back to read only use mount -o remount -r /system /system
[Sony Xperia E3] Pandoxyd:
I've tried again, with correct command and it's not better (see in attachment)

I'll try to install ESExplorer in root mode, but for the moment, even Titanium can't write in system's folders.

EDIT :

OK, I can't create folders in /system via ES Explorer too ^^"
[Sony Xperia E3] vinay:
try installing busybox and try again.

---------- Post added at 03:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:37 PM ----------

here is the solution for your device as you know you rooted with d2203 kernel from method flash that kernel install xposed framework if still won,t mount /system use clockwork recovery then install stock.

stock kernel is secured thats why you are not being able to mount /system
[Sony Xperia E3] Pandoxyd:
I can't install busy box because the installer said that impossible to access to /system/bin haha

But, you're right, I'll reflash the boot.img from the root method, so as to install busybox and Xposed framework in /system, and then, I'll reinstall the stock kernel (to recover my USB connexion)
[Sony Xperia E3] vinay:
you must keep both kernel in your pc so when you need cwm flash cwm kernel and to get USBed get stock.

well i thought if i get your d2203 kernel working on my phone then i could try to fix usb problem but when i flashed your d2203 kernel my phone go crazy then i also give a try to d2202 and it worked after all i flashed my d2212 kernel again.

i think due to LTE d2203 need more power. so sony modifired kernel for LTE.
[Sony Xperia E3] Pandoxyd:
Yeah, when I put D2212's boot.img on my D2203, phone gone crazy too^^

I'm just going to looking for a new kernel rootable which allows getting USBed.

D2203 rooted for real : apps+getting USBed+RW /system (XPosed framework)

hum... I think I have the end of my story.

I've started to participate at this equal thread on a french android forum, to know if there was people with the same USB issue as me. Actually, no.

People have rooted D2203 well and getting USBed, with the boot.img from root method. I was intrigued. So, for the fourth time, I've tried again :

1.Backuped with Titanium

2.Shutdowned, plugged into flashmode and flashed 18.4.C.2.12_generic_fr.ftf

3.Unplugged, plugged into fastboot mode and flashed D2203.img

4.Rebooted phone, gone into CWM, install SU.zip and rebooted with "fix root"

AND such a surprise ! My phone was recognized by PC (the "tuduuu" sound from Windows awaked me) !!

So I installed root checker ==> root+superSU OK.

I restore all my data with Titanium ==> parameters/apps OK.

The last test : I installed Xposed+framework........................................ ==> /system write/read OK :eek:

And do you know which ONLY ONE (but aparently, efficient) change I've made ? I've just ticked this time, in flashtool at step 2, the MISC'S option "

no final verification

"...

So, this boot.img doesn't need to be repaired, I'm so confused to have written all these messages whereas the solution was a simply tick :silly: (or random computing repairs)
[Sony Xperia E3] MAROCANU:
So...If my bootloader is not allowed to Be unlock, can I install a new version such as 18.4.C.2.12? Because I have tried but nothing happened. My version is still 18.4.C.1.36. And where I found your installed version? The french one? I want to try again. Thank you.
[Sony Xperia E3] vinay:
So this boot.img was made for French version and other versions may have other drivers that are not supported with kernel.

---------- Post added at 03:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:36 AM ----------

You can,t flash whatever version you like Sony companion won,t allow you this. And flashing kernel/system/recovery won,t fix your problem the problem wich won,t allow you to unlock your bootloader is bootloader it self you have to flash unlocked or unlockable bootloader to fix it. Warning if you flashed wrong bootloader or just something goes wrong in flashing process then you will brick your device permanently. You can,t fix bootloader again because bootloader is the first thing wich start,s when you press power button.
[Sony Xperia E3] MAROCANU:
Understand. So, I have to wait till a developer make an unlocker for this bootloader like on Lg L5.

Thank you.
[Sony Xperia E3] ivoda:
Any chance to root unlocked bootloader? Please! Unlock bootloader status: NO :(
[Sony Xperia E3] vinay:
because many users have bootloader unlock allowed no so i belive thare must be dev,s who are trying to root this device.

[Sony Xperia E3] vinay:
You can use d2212 kernel it is same as d2202. but don,t try d2203 or your phone will go crazy.
[Sony Xperia E3] ljoak:
Ok, first time ever going through this process, on my other rootings I just had to press a button (basically);

I found some comments online saying that after unlocking bootloader the camera became REALLY ****ty, and apparently it is because DRM keys are removed and therefore some camera algorithms stopped working, so my questions are:

How bad is the camera after unlocking bootloader?

Is there any other downsides (besides the obvious warranty loss, etc) to unlocking the bootloader (and using custom roms in general) that I should be aware of before doing it?

Basically I'm a total n00b and I'm scared of doing it :D
[Sony Xperia E3] pl0p982:
Man, i dont think the camera change beaucause my device is unlocked and rooted and the camera doesent change

I add some screens and picture i take in Snapchat and it look petty honest for a 5mp camera
[Sony Xperia E3] ljoak:
Thanks for the reply, man, I'm gonna get started on the rooting process.

Also, after some more research I found this link, where there are some complimentary answers.

Rooted

Rooted my D2203 by this method, not without a few scares. Never had to tick that extra box, but I'm Usb'ed ok.

Then I downloaded the Lollipop ASOP and flashed it, so now I'm rooted and Lollipop'd.

EDIT: I've just realised, after upgrading to Lollipop, I've lost my ability to connect to PC by USB. So now I'm not USB'ed anymore................... (no camera either, after flashing Lolly, but someone had pointed that out already). Strange.

EDIT, Please be aware that my phone is pretty useless after flashing Lollipop - no camera, can't make phone calls, screen very dark, no airplane mode, decreased sound volume, no switch to turn mobile data on/off, adb won't list the phone as a device, no USB connection to PC - can't transfer files . . . . . . . . .

Can someone assist me to revert back to KitKat 4.4 as soon as possible please.

Thanks

well, YES both D2212 and D2202 have same kernel but D2203 have diffrent one.

so yes you can flash d2212 kernel on d2212.

The post is too confusing for a noob like me to root the phone. Can someone please help me out to root my phone or if someone can upload a video showing step by step way to root it as I really wanna root my phone.
[Sony Xperia E3] westroger:
Hi guys, after successfully rooting my D2203 and getting USB connectivity, I flashed the alpha Lollipop AOSP. This didn't work out, so I reverted to stock Rom but of course lost Root.

Now I can't get Root back with USB connectivity - I've tried un-rooting and re-rooting 3 times but no USB each time.

Can anyone solve this problem. After having Root, then losing it is hard to take.

'Raproid'

I ticked the 'no final verification' box that you mentioned, in Flashmode. That made no difference. I don't think that was the reason you got USB'ed, I think you were just lucky. I got USB'ed on my first attempt without ticking the box.

[Sony Xperia E3] vinay:
You don,t have to flash any rom you will stay in stock you have to download correct kernel for your device to know which device you have to go to settings then about phone slide down to were model number was written if your model number is d2212 or d2202 then you have to download this kernel and if your device is d2203 then download this kernel and after downloading correct kernel you have to flash then using flash tool you can get it here

To vinay,

I posted here saying that I can't get USB connectivity with root on my D2003, but no one has answered, I've just tried with the image that you have linked above, but still no USB connectivity. Do you - or can anyone else please suggest why that is. Root without USB connectivity is no good at all.

Thanks

[Sony Xperia E3] Jio15:
Worked very fine, I enjoy it on my French D2203.

Some instructions were misleading, though.

That's why I suggest another explanation, not so different, but maybe more accurate.

How to root Xperia E3​

What you need :

* about 30/45 minutes

* an Xperia E3 (D2203 or D2212) smartphone

* a working USB cable

* a Windows computer with JRE installed

Note : if you're on Mac or Linux, just get the appropriate version of Flashtool. I haven't tried it though so drivers etc... could be totally different.

Unlock your bootloader :

1. Turn off your phone and DON'T plug it to your computer.

2. Download Flashtool and install it to C:\Flashtool.

3. Go to C:\Flashtool\drivers\Flashtool-drivers.exe and install the Flashmode and Fastboot drivers.

4. Open Flashtool, click the "BLU" button. While holding the Volume DOWN (-) button on your phone, plug it in. Your phone will go into Flashmode.

5. When the process is finished (a blank window will appear), unplug your device. While holding Volume UP (+), plug it in back again.

6. You will then see your IMEI number. Click "Get unlock" and you'll get on Sony website. Choose "Xperia E3" in the droplist, type in your e-mail address and tick the checkbox.

7. You'll receive a mail from Sony, click on the link it contains and type in your IMEI (which Flashtool gave). Tick the checkboxes, validate, and you will get your unlocking code.

8. Paste this code in Flashtool and press "Unlock". After some time, it should be finished. Unplug your phone and close all the software.

Flash the kernel and root :

1. Download the appropriate kernel for your phone. Download the SuperSu archive and move it to the root of your SD card or internal memory.

2. Open Flashtool and press the "Lightning" button. Choose "Fastboot mode".

3. While holding Volume UP (+), plug the phone into the PC. Press "Select kernel to flash" and find the img file you downloaded.

4. Flash the kernel and wait until it's finished.

5. Switch the phone on. When the LED turns violet, hold Volume DOWN (-) until you get to ClockworkMOD.

(To navigate in ClockworkMOD : use Volume UP and DOWN to move, and use Power button to validate.)

6. Once you're in CWM, navigate to the "install zip" section, then select "choose zip from /sdcard/" (choose the appropriate folder) and find the SuperSU zip file on your device. Agree to install it.

7. Quit CWM using the "Yes - Fix root" option.

8. While rebooting, the phone will take longer to boot, just be patient.
[Sony Xperia E3] MAROCANU:
Maybe your D2203. Mine, no. Bootloader allowed:NO. What I don't understand, why on some d2203 the bootloader can Be unlocked and other don't. Maybe somebody can tell us?

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hoyos:
Solved,

if your story sounds similar to mine(Go to TL;DR) Refer to post 4

ok, where to begin

my N5 was A-OK just 3 days ago running the Dev Preview of Lollipop. by A-OK i mean that it worked but with a few

bugs

(its the dev preview i know, its got bugs) like when i stayed on an app, e.g spotify, and exited to the home screen it

would take like 15 sec for all the apps on the home screen (like 6) to appear. There is not where the problem lies.

Again 3 days ago. i poked around both ROM sections to find a Lollipop based on that was to my liking, found one and

directly downloaded it to my phone (in hindsite it would of been better to do it on my comp) and being no stranger

to flashing ROMs i went on auto-pilot adn begun the wiping of cache and factory resetting, setting up for the move to

more stable ROM. When it was time to flash the ROM I completely downloaded was no where to be found, a bit

panicked i went to a backup i had on the device, it did its thing and i booted it up but it went back to Clockworkmod

recovery screen That's problem No. 1 . I rebooted it still the same thing. Scouring through

the web for help on setting ADB to sideload the ROM. The thing is that when i hooked up my phone to my desktop

it didn't recognize the device, The correct drivers are installed but it doesn't recognize the device its labeled as

unknown USB device. That's problem No. 2

*update i plugged in my N5 and the comp read it as a N5 but when i selected the option to sideload it it doesn't

recognize it anymore

and problem No. 3 is USB debugging might be turned off

TL;DR? 1. Boots into Clockworkmod

2. my computers don't recognize the device

3. USB debugging might be off

-Q: Can USB Debugging be enabled some other way.

Any help is appreciated

why is it double spaced? i find it a bit eye-straining reading that much all bunched together

Setup fastboot on your computer. Once done open a command prompt and type fastboot devices. If it doesnt display a long line of numbers and letters the computer isnt recognizing the device.

That lead me to look up Boot.sig/System.sig, that lead me to a blog saying i could fix the problem if i added something to the directory, forgot how to get to environmental variables, i went and watched the vid that helped my set up adb/sdk and thats when it clicked..

What if i tried flash-all with KitKat and voila it started running the process of flashing. Since it was basically a new phone unrooted and everything it had the system update to lollipop.

1. Plug your Galaxy S4 into your laptop

2. Go to "Device Manager" or press "WIndows Key + R" and write "devmgmt.msc" and press ENTER.

3. Uninstall "Samsung Android ADB Interface" inside "Samsung Android Phone"

4. Unplug your phone for 10 sec and reboot your pc.

5. Plug your Galaxy S4 into your laptop again and let the pc install the driver (this may take some minutes).

6. Windows will ask what do with the new driver installed (your device in this case) and you can select now finally what you wish.

7. Good luck :)

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] daemon1:
It seems I have the same prob with the mda pro shutting down at a set battery level.

I followed the recommendations on the other threads:

<quote>

1. Fully charge the device with the "wall charger" not USB.

2. Put device into bootloader mode (backlight+power+reset) and run until device goes dead.

3. Charge the device completely with the “wall charger” not USB again.

4. Set screen brightness to MAX and turn off ALL power saving features.

5. Unplug the device from charger and run until completely dead again.

6. Repeat step 3, then restore custom screen brightness and power saving features.

7. Finished.</quote>

I did the drain method above about 5 times, and let it charge up for about 12+ hours each time to full.

I also flashed back to official T-Mobile UK Rom and this didn't make much difference.

Now my battery drains normally if the MDA pro is left idle- it goes from 100% all the way until 30%.

But as soon as I use a battery intensive task, such as connect to the internet, put the screen brightness up to full... it again just shuts down as before.

The only thing i haven't tried is getting a new battery... then I'm calling T-Mobile to get it replaced.

Just thought I'd add a clue to help solve this weird problem.
