[Sony Cross-Device General] Miche1asso:
Since it came with 4.4.4 and the HW is similar to the one of the M2 (same CPU at least) you may try this method flashing the M2 kernel attached in my first thread. In case it goes all wrong you should be able to flash back the original kernel. At least so I've read people "unbricked" their phones after fashing a wrong kernel.

But I am not sure about it. I take no responsibility. Do it at your own risk
[Sony Cross-Device General] olokos:
I thought that ADB wouldn't work if the phone didn't boot completely or at least it didn't go past booting the kernel. That's quite a suprise for me and I'll surely test it on the next xperia I'd have to root. You just made my concerns about rooting 5.0 Sony firmwares on LB gone, thanks a ton mate!

BTW. That's literally the fastest written news I ever seen on the xda portal, like seriously, it was posted the very same day, just a few minutes ago.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Miche1asso:
You're very welcome! :)

Why, did I make the portal? Oh, i see it now. In the bottom right section. That's cool! Now I am happy. Thanks. :D
[Sony Cross-Device General] HORiZUN:
Does this mean I can root my Xperia Z3 d6616 on 4.4.4? You may have just won all the internets.
[Sony Cross-Device General] LilBlinx:
Known method and it works. I used it on the Xperia NovaThor line :D

Also you can add this. If your phone is working weird (buggy or sudden battery drops) just wipe the cache. It is known problem when flashing older version of android (ROM/kernel) and then flashing back the new one. In this case you are doing exactly that. Right now there are no recoveries for locked bootloader but you can use the ADB command or some terminal application on your android.

Option 1. Using the ADB (easiest):

adb shell
su
cd /data/dalvik-cache
rm *
exit
adb reboot

Option 2. Using terminal

su
cd /data/dalvik-cache
rm *
exit

After that reboot your device. It will take longer than normal but it's ok

No because Z3 doesn't have a jellybean ROM/kernel so you can't use this on your device
[Sony Cross-Device General] donedos:
Similar method when rooting Xperia Tablet Z and a bit similar when rooting my Xperia neo V before.. I don't encountered boot loop....
[Sony Cross-Device General] Miche1asso:
I think the dalvik caches get modified when a new /system (with a different version of the apps in /system/app) gets installed.. Just changing the kernel shouldn't really affect the dalvik caches.

or you can just type from the terminal:

adb shell su -c "rm -r /data/dalvik-cache; reboot"

Otherwise what I usually do is to remove the /data/dalvik-cache folder from a root file manager. /data/dalvik.-cache gets re-created at boot time. Not that I've ever really seen any benefit on doing that. Especially in Kitkat any time the system apps get modified Android should rebuild all of them at boot time. But yeah, one never knows. Hopefully ART in Lollipop will end this crap.

Yeah, I know. The guide is more specific for when the ROM bootloops and/or rootkitXperia gets stuck at the reboot, like it happens in the Xperia M2. In that case people where getting stuck, or at least I couldn't find any guide telling what to do. I'll specify it in the main post.

Sorry to ask in here but its impossible to get a reply in the Z2 Tablet forum. Any idea where I can download a Jellybean FTF for my device and then the 4.4.4 FTF its running atm?

Would be greatly appreciated!

Dowloading the FTF from: http://xperiafirmware.com/8-firmware/50-sony-xperia-z2-tablet-wi-fi-sgp511, anyone know if SGP511 is compatible with SGP512 (I know they're both WiFi international versions)

I found this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2768951 But its only a 7mb download? Is the system.img the kernal?
[Sony Cross-Device General] LilBlinx:
First of all, use XperiFirm (google it) and download the program. Find your device and download the necessary firmwares. The second link you posted is just a kernel
[Sony Cross-Device General] dcaceres89:
What about phones without JB roms released, ex: Xperia C3? It was released on KK 4.4.1 and I think that no kernels are available for this phone. I'm asking 'cause I want to root my phone but is almost impossible using all known methods .
[Sony Cross-Device General] Miche1asso:
Ok, this is the situation: if the phone has a "brother" with the same identical SoC which came with a JB ROM flashing the kernel (and

only the kernel

) from the JB FTF of that ROM may do the job. It officially worked on the Xperia M2 Aqua D2403 using the D2303 kernel. As long as the phone manages to boot the kernel and abd is alive (with all relevant Unix commands) the rooting should be possible (and the phone won't be bricked at all. It just has the kernel not matching the modules, libraries and else in the ROM).

This may apply for example to the Sony Z3 using the Z2 JB kernel for the rooting (although the SoC in this case are slightly different). Or the Xperia E3 using the M2 kernel. But no one tested these scenarios yet, so

I take no responsibility if anything goes wrong. It is at your own risk

.

Still, my experience with the Samsung has been that after flashing the wrong kernel was always possible to recover the phone flashing back the official ROM (with Odin in that case). I have no experience of "soft bricked" phones with the Xperia, so I can't bring my personal experience on this.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Moist:
Anyone willing to try this? Maybe we can set up a donation thread for someone to try it?
[Sony Cross-Device General] anagramgenius:
It's not about Jelly Bean firmware availability for the device. Towel root even works directly with KitKat, provided the kernel build date should be before 3rd June, 2014.
[Sony Cross-Device General] dcaceres89:
Mmm i tried many times with towelroot but isn't working. However as you said is better to have a non rooted device than a hard bricked one hahaha
[Sony Cross-Device General] anagramgenius:
Don't ever flash wrong kernels which isn't meant for your device. It might hard brick. 'No root' is better than 'hard brick'ed device.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Miche1asso:
Well, it isn't an issue anymore. We tried in a Z3 to install the Z2 4.4.2 kernel which is vulnerable to Towelroot and the DRM (I think) doesn't allow the installation. It does work with the M2 kernel in the M2 Aqua, though. I mean, the latter are nearly the same but the model number and few things like the frontal camera are different.
[Sony Cross-Device General] GalaxyWhy:
I had already downloaded XPeriFirm but all it does is tell me the most recent firmware. Theres no way to download it, or to see older firmware? :S
[Sony Cross-Device General] anagramgenius:
You can download older firmwares if Sony keep them in their server. Try searching for .FTF file for your device in the forum.

My wife's phone's internal SD filled up with some rogue phantom files that wasn't accessible or even visible with file browser app on Stock firmware.

I decided to root and flash with CyanogenMod - being sure to format the system in the hope that those rogue, phantom files were wiped. This didn't work and the attached picture is its current state showing only 2.62GB available where there should be around 8GB available.

Can anyone shed some light on this perplexing issue.

**Available to UK based users only**

Call Rewards, the app that earns you money whenever you make a phone call.

London based app company Big Blimp has just launched an Android app that lets you earn up to £30 a month, just by making your normal phone calls.

Every time a user tries to make a phone call, the app checks the Call Rewards system to see if it is possible to earn money on the number being dialled. If there is revenue available, the app securely and privately routes the call through the Call Rewards system. Call Rewards get paid by the mobile networks for handling the calls, and they then pass this money straight to the users. The revenue earned depends on the type of number being dialled, the network and tariff the user is on, and the amount of calls they make.

Call Rewards can make up to £30 a month or more if you share the app with friends, however this rate is only available to users with an EE contract and a specific unlimited 08 number booster. If you don't have that particular contract, your earnings will be much less, visit callrewards . co . uk for breakdown of the payment rates.

Money earned through the app is paid out monthly, providing a £1 threshold is met. Any unclaimed or unpaid money is rolled over to the following month. Payments are made via PayPal or bank transfer.

Feedback on the App is greatly appreciated

Hi all. I am getting my new Moto G today (XT1068) and want to have lolipop but also need root. I was wondering how I would do this? Also if I do manage to get root while on 5.0.1 can I use OTA to 5.0.2 or would I need to un-root first? I am new to rooting so I'd like the easiest way possible, thanks for your time!
[G 2014 General] Reizoko:
Hello,

I'd like to say hello to everyone and BIG thanks for the community as a whole. This place is pure awesomeness.

I've got similiar question to OP. Got the retaildsdsall xt1068, haven't unlocked or rooted before and I'm currently on 5.0.2, 22.21.28.titan_retaildsds.retaildsdsall.en.03 reteu

I've been on retaildsdsall and upgraded using to newly captured OTA zip from SOAK for the xt1068, by copying it to the root of sd and upgrading using normal ota updater.

Everything went fine!

My question is, what is the most reliable way to root my device?

Is there any possibility to root without having to unlock? Will Chainfire's autoroot[dot]chainfire[dot]eu work for me? I read that there is a version which is ok for Lollipop, updated by Chainfire, but I can't seem to find it or confirm that it'll work.

Please shed some light on to that. Any experiences?
[G 2014 General] KrishnaSagar:
Hi [MENTION=6333039]Reizoko[/MENTION] & [MENTION=5653105]Silent_Infiltrator[/MENTION]

1. You have to unlock Bootloader to Root.

2. Install TWRP Recovery

3. Download and Flash latest BETA of SuperSU v2.44

Thats all :)

Note: You can't use OTA to update while rooted. You have to do a full unroot.
[G 2014 General] Silent_Infiltrator:
Right, seems easy enough. I guess I'll wait with stock unrooted until a bug-free version of 5.0 is out, will be good to make sure phone is all right aswell...
[G 2014 General] KrishnaSagar:
Well, the Brazil Soak Test version of Lollipop is really smooth and Bug Free, the Indian version.. Not so much! If you want to try Lollipop, I would recommend the Brazil Soak Test.

Hey

Just wanted to give quick heads-up on to the matter of rooting 5.0.2. Thanks for the tips, I did it as follows:

1. Got my European Moto G xt1068 (dual-sim version) updated to 5.0.2 using captured OTA zip here.

2. Unlocked my bootloader by following official Motorola guide.

3. Downloaded newest TWRP 2.8.4.0 from Original Development.

4. Used Fastboot to only boot TWRP by executing: fastboot boot twrp.img

5. Flashed newest SuperSU 2.44.

6. Enjoying root.

Thanks!

Why the hell are you telling him to install a xt1069 over xt1068? Tell me onde thing, but are you on drugs or dont have a clue about you are talking about? Never, but never install a version that is not designed for your phone version. Before you post such thing, please do some research or dont say anything.

You do your research. Did you even go through the Moto G 2014 forums??? Read through and then post.
[G 2014 General] Android The Greek:
Krishna is not wrong as the XT1068 and 69 are pretty much the same. Only difference is the modems and radios I believe.

I too am only getting about 14 hours of heavy use when it used to last 24+ hours on stock 4.4. (D803)

I thought it may be due to a poorly coded radio by my provider but am starting to think it may happen after update to lollipop. What radio/rom/kernel is everyone using?

I've tried the following all with similar results:

Resurrection remix 5.0.2

Resurrection kernel

RGR_10C radio

CM12 5.0.2 nightly

CM12 kernel

RGR_10C radio

I've found that the stock radio that came with both roms gave me better battery life but then the rotation never worked. Has anyone figured it out yet?

When i bought it after four days it has got a slight crack in display after falls down. but performance is quietly brilliant until 17-12-2014 , by the day i have used last i just unplug while charging ,from then on my phone is completely shutting down & not displays anything. then i have given to HOSUR service center, after 7 days HTC service center executive called me and told the estimated cost of rupees 11600-00 to repair.

because i am sending this mail to you I am a warranty customer why should i have to pay for repair over than mobile's purchase cost & one more thing i need to share with you i was using same mobile before i bought it, unfortunately somewhere that mobile got misplaced. i had a great experience with HTC mobile but now iam completely got hurt ,i hope you get the proper response to this entire conversation.

Hi,

I got a new car the other day and since then have had issues with my contacts on the stereo system.

When I first add the phone to the BT stereo it asks permission to get my contacts, hit yet and off it goes for a couple of seconds and then says it is done. It isn't finished and has only taken a handful of contacts across.

I have 2 exchange accounts on my phone, both with contacts in them but it doesn't seem to take any of the 2000 contacts. im not sure where it is getting the contacts from as i have none saved on the sim.

Any ideas anyone as its very annoying when i get a call all i can see on the dash or stereo screen is a number so if phone is in pocket i do not know who is calling.

Thanks in advance, hope you can help.
