D2212 - FTF File

First, I have been following most discussions about the process in rooting the E3 and want to thank everybody who contibuted! :o

I also followed vinay's guide and have a quick question.

Please excuse me asking, but some other fellow noob might also get stuck here ;)

I am caught up at Step 10 because I cannot find and don't know where to search for the FTF File (D2212 - 4.4.4)

In this thread I saw the file for the D2202 (http://xdaforums.com/xperia-e3/general/update-18-5-0-26-horizon-xperia-e3-t3007247). Is there also one for the D2212 available?

Could you please include a link on where to download the FTF File you recommend?

Thanks for your support! :angel:
[Sony Xperia E3] vinay:
D2202 ftf file work,s well on d2212

I am also using that ftf file you linked.
[Sony Xperia E3] Googlor:
Thank you. I successfully flashed usig flashtool.

Now I am confronted with a problem which was already mentioned in previous posts (Page 3) - I was still not able to solve it.

I was

not able to run "RUN ME"

successfully.

Therefore BusyBox and Universal lnit.d (closes after launch) are also not working.

I tired fixing it the way you suggested the previous user by changing the Sony_ric to 0 by using x-plore.

Sony_ric > enable > text > Error loading file

Thanks for support!

Googlor
[Sony Xperia E3] vinay:
When editing enable file did you grant root. And you enabled xplore->configurations->root access->superuser + mount writable
[Sony Xperia E3] Googlor:
I knew I forgot something.

But that doesn#t help me over the fact, that my enable file is 0,00B large ... empty.

what should I change here? :D
[Sony Xperia E3] vinay:
Press edit and add 0 and save. I,ve even found it empty but when i pressed edit button then i foud thare 1.
[Sony Xperia E3] Googlor:
Had the same problem. Now I was able to install Busybox after a second change.

Thank you verry much! Live in India and a long dream has come true :)

XPERIA d2212

Hello friend, but my android is already updated to version 4.4.4, and I just do the root, as I do? HELP ME :confused:
[Sony Xperia E3] vinay:
I can,t understand what you want.
[Sony Xperia E3] CCSA19:
This works on windows 8.1 ?? Thank pea previous answer.
[Sony Xperia E3] vinay:
It will work on all windows os. But you need adb drivers installed correctly.
[Sony Xperia E3] CCSA19:
In Part 1 is there doing just root right? Nothing update, why my dispositiv0 already is updated ( 4.4.4 )
[Sony Xperia E3] vinay:
I can,t understand what are you saying.but it does not matter if your device came with 4.4.4 you still need ftf file to flash 4.4.4 kernel on your device and thare is nothing going to be updated if you are already on 4.4.4 but you are going to downgrade kernel for flashing supersu.zip then update kernel using ftf.

HI

hi

and

does it work for latest build number xperia d2212 android 4.4.4?and rootnig latest build nember (18.5.b.0.26)???
[Sony Xperia E3] vinay:
Yeah it works, cuz it is made for 18.5.B.0.26
[Sony Xperia E3] Googlor:
I now wanted to enable micro SD card writing ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2687734 ).

First I tryed the app (NextApp

SDFix

) and after this was

not working

I tryed the manual way using x-plore.

I found out that even with superuser + mount writable the changes to the platform.xml file were not saved after hitting "save".

After I did some research I broke it down to the problem that my enable file contains a 1 and not a 0.

After changing to 0, I was able to apply the changes to the platform.xml file.

My problem now is, that after every restart of the device, my enable file gets set back to 1 and therefore I suppose, that am not fully rooted after every restart?

How is a permanent change to 0 possible?

Thank you!

Mo

EDIT:

Even though the platform.xml file is changed and the permissions are set to to 644 (rw-/r–/r–), downloads (Chrome, Whatsapp etc.) are still saved in internal storage. :(
[Sony Xperia E3] vinay:
Permenent fix is install universal init.d and open it and set it to enable. And use my system mount as r/w script attached at part2. Of my script.
[Sony Xperia E3] Googlor:
I changed the enable file to 0 / Universal lnit.d is einabled ("on") / USB- debugging is activ

But when running system mount it always says: "error: device not found."

Sorry for confusion. :angel:
[Sony Xperia E3] vinay:
There is problem. In usb drivers or usb cable. Try installing usb drivers.
[Sony Xperia E3] Googlor:
Phone is visible in explorer and sony pc companion.

what driver would there be that needs to be installed?

also already changed the data cable. no result.
[Sony Xperia E3] vinay:
Adb drivers.
[Sony Xperia E3] vinay:
Wait

Is flash tool working..
[Sony Xperia E3] Googlor:
I was not able to Install ADB Drivers on this PC since the phone was not recognized. no clue why :/

Used my roomates PC, installed ADB Drivers and ran systam mount. (outcome below)

is this how it is supposed to look?

restarted the device multiple times. Enable file is always back to 1....

____

EDIT:

Flash tool working.
[Sony Xperia E3] vinay:
It is how it supposed to look.

If you still have problem after running this batch file then open universal init.d and check for NS in it.
[Sony Xperia E3] Googlor:
Vinay:

Ok if you have other files in it. Then just do this steps.

Tap on name of any script. But not 99supersudaemon

Tap on three dots on top right corner. Select edit.

And type this

#!/system/bin/sh

echo 0 > /sys/kernel/security/sony_ric/enable

Then tap on save.

Reboot, enable is on 0!

:confused: boot.zip - [Click for QR Code] (11.32 MB, 286 views) can I use this for D2202
[Sony Xperia E3] eladiocesar:
I was trying to say that your kernel is not recognized by PC company, modifying version at the root, not only on the phone he accuses the wrong version as connected to the PC. therefore there Will not update the official sony software, such as the Walkman and album.

Ps sorry for the bad language.
[Sony Xperia E3] vinay:
Still didn't understand your english well but did you mean update centre is showing update for 4.4.4 18.5.B.0.26 and you already have that version.

This problem will be solved in next build of kernel.

And apps like walkman will receive updates if you unroot your phone.

[Sony Xperia E3] lexiyuri:
Follow the vinay´s order

Problems with Android 4.4.4 on Xperia E3 D2206: none

Bugs: none

Working: everything.

An advice:

Well, there´s a problem when you try to be root on Xperia E3 D2206 after install Android 4.4.4. (I mean doing the process in a similar way we did in 4.4.2) Being root is completely different in 4.4.4, so, dont make the same mistake like me

If you fall in the mistake: the result after install CWM and SuperSu and restart-fix root instead power off-fix root is the following: screen shows in a perpetual way the Sony Xperia logo without entering to the main android interface.

So, follow carefully the instructions as [MENTION=4316909]vinay s[/MENTION]uggested for 4.4.4 and be root! I repeated the process and everything goes fine.

In short version:

1. Install 4.4.4 Stock via flashtool

2. Follow [MENTION=5494317]vinay[/MENTION]´s method in strictly order. Dont change the order of doing the process!

Once again, thanks [MENTION=5494317]vinay[/MENTION].
[Sony Xperia E3] vinay:
Your welcome.

I will soon add cwm kernel for d2203,d2206,d2243 LTE devices.

Regards

- Vinay
[Sony Xperia E3] aleem77:
Yes, your kernel support init.d
[Sony Xperia E3] lexiyuri:
No, Stock 4.4.4 doesnt have RIC disabled, so you should take control of system r/w using busybox and universal init.d method.

[MENTION=5237997]Vinay C[/MENTION]an I delete busybox and universal init.d after finishing the process?
[Sony Xperia E3] aleem77:
I dont know why it work for me,

By the way i install pure performance x in my device via cwm, maybe its why working for me, just try it, maybe it work for you too
[Sony Xperia E3] vinay:
He is taking about d2203.

In this cwm kernel i have added unfinished init.d support

Make sure you are not using enabled universal init.d.

I mean that button on top if it is off and kernel is supported to init.d then it ia kernel if it ia on then it is software.

Waiting for report

Regards

- Vinay
[Sony Xperia E3] vinay:
Mention my name correctly (people with similar name must be received mentioned report)

You can,t uninstall universal init.d or you can't mount system as rw

And you can uninstall busybox app but not binary in system/bin (installed by app)

Regards

- Vinay
[Sony Xperia E3] aleem77:
Its already done, the result is your kernel support init.d

[Sony Xperia E3] lexiyuri:
Well, [MENTION=5494317]vinay[/MENTION]

I think busybox and universal init d are so tiny that i dont need delete them. But why is the reason root is so different in 4.4.4 devices?
[Sony Xperia E3] vinay:
Are you using this kernel after updating to 18.5.B.0.26 and did you tried flashing again.

Can you see sony logo at boot and or bootanimation.

Are you sure you have d2212 dual sim cause i tested it in my dual sim d2212.

If you have latest 4.4.4 firmware and after reflash kernel won't work then revert to stock i can,t help cause i dont have your device.

Download kernel again. Extract boot.rar you will get boot.img then reboot to fastboot flash it using adb with this command

fastboot flash boot boot.img

While downloading maby kernel get broke so re download and delete any old boot.img in that folder.

And use any phone or camera and take picture of white led i cant understand what is happening to you.

Cwm can help you backup whole system so you won't be able to brick.

After update you can,t access cwm

Because you have flashed stock kernel.

Cwm kernel is only made for d2202 and d2212 for now and lte devices like d2203-06-43 will receive this later cause i dont have source.

regarding rooting

Hi Guys,

thanks for ur guid to root xperia e3 d2202 with kitkat 4.4.4. I have successfully made it. Just some questions in mind.

- My phone's bootloader is unlock now and it displays an system update but update is not verified. Do i have to lock my bootloader again to install this system update?

- If i lock my bootloader again does it remove my root or not?
[Sony Xperia E3] atoir:
You say on Step 4 -

Why 4.4.2 as the tutorial is for 4.4.4 ?

I'm from the linux world but new to android. If I understand well you flash with another kernel to be root ? Could you tells me where can I find infos about the principles of rooting ?

Thanks
[Sony Xperia E3] tensa85:
