Hi, I have follow all your step and have done everything until last step, but when i reboot, i get message "Android is upgrading" and then after "Starting Apps" it says "Unfortunately Camera common has stopped" and when i press "ok" it kept repeating the same message, do you know how can i boot succesfully ?:confused:

FYI, i have tried rooting from http://xdaforums.com/xperia-e3/general/root-e3-t2964845 without checking my firmware before, and i stuck in bootloop as a result.
[Sony Xperia E3] vinay:
i think thare is no any solution.

backup your data with something.

if you want to save your apps use this command in adb.(i am not sure this commands will work or not)

this will move all apps on your internal sd to app folder in your sdcard

adb shell su -c "mv /data/app /storage/sdcard1/"

this command will move all apps you moved to sd to your sdcard/asec

adb shell su -c "mv /mnt/asec /storage/sdcard1/"

how to fix.

i don,t know this will work or not.

reboot to recovery

select wipe data then wipe cache now boot your phone. (this will factory reset your device)

if this won,t help then

flash whole stock firmware [FTF file] using flashtool. this will fix.
[Sony Xperia E3] l3echer:
i have flash my phone using stock FTF, after that i try to root using your method and now my phone is rooted, thanks man.

FYI, my phone is Xperia D2212..:)
[Sony Xperia E3] phoneexpirementer:
thanks it really helped!
[Sony Xperia E3] vinay:
your welcome.:)
[Sony Xperia E3] image45:
When you exit the recovery it advises that root access is possible lost, when it's not. Did anyone find out why the recovery did/does this please?

Also the Philz recovery allows you to set correct time for backup data etc. Was this possible for cwm version.

Hello

I downloaded your kernel sources. Please explain how to compile this sources for d2203 device. I have a experience with compiling kernel for Linux PC, and no have experience with android devices. I would like to use to start your /proc/config.gz configuration. I use a Slackware Linux, but may use a livecd Ubuntu/Mint Linux.

Regards
[Sony Xperia E3] vinay:
linked source code is for d2212 device that i have.

if you wan,t to compile lte kernel (D2203/06/43) then download source code from sony.

and thare are plenty of guides on how to compile kernel.

(use arima_8926ss_dp_defconfig) which is for lte kernel.

if you have any trouble can ask me.

here is github https://github.com/Vynikal/android_kernel_sony_flamingo

lte kernel by [MENTION=4872819]Vynikal[/MENTION] you can fork it before he delete it. it is for LTE (D2203/D2206/D2243)
[Sony Xperia E3] ViVa[DOUD]:
Hey vinay , can you upload a stock version of android kitkat 4.4.4 for d2203 without rhe bloatware? or a stock rom so i can remove the bloatware?... please let me know... nitrogen rom works on my xperia e3 d2203 but it gives from time to time "google services has stopped working" can you name a solution for that error? Thanks :)
[Sony Xperia E3] image45:
If your D2203 has an unlock ? bootloader you could install Sony developer world Emma. This will download and flash the current 4.4.4 firmware as well as offer you the option to flash the new bootloader for E3 with new official Sony recovery.

http://developer.sonymobile.com/services/flash-tool/how-to-download-and-install-the-flash-tool/
[Sony Xperia E3] ViVa[DOUD]:
Yes, i wanted one that i can modify easely.thanks anyway
[Sony Xperia E3] image45:
Ok, however once rooted, with busybox and system app mover installed I found it very easy to sort any unwanted rom bloatware, while also allowing for new system apps to be added.
[Sony Xperia E3] ViVa[DOUD]:
Yeah, thats fine too :)
[Sony Xperia E3] image45:
Well it's something to fall back on if no other avenue appears.

I used to take 3 or 4 nandroid backups as I chipped away at system bloatware before I got better at knowing what to remove from the rom, system apps while porting other rom device elements like Z3 unlock screen and live wallpapers.

Sorry I was unable to help more.
[Sony Xperia E3] ViVa[DOUD]:
Np, Thank you for trying :)
[Sony Xperia E3] image45:
Have you still got the cwm based recovery on your D2203 that's included at the start of this topic or did you move on to the Twrp version created by vinay for the E3 devices.
[Sony Xperia E3] ViVa[DOUD]:
First i tried with cwm version, but i like more the TWRP made by vinay, both worked fine.
[Sony Xperia E3] image45:
I have rom installer app by jrummy via play store install on my D2203. It has a flash image feature that allows you to flash any of the different boot.img files on your device while on the move. So you can change kernel version and recovery too. I have cwm, philz touch and Twrp backups on the sdcard so allows for them to be accessible via each recovery while on the move away from PC ?

I normally run with cwm based recovery as default, i find its simple style fine and it's the earliest custom recovery I used back in my HTC desire modding days back in 2010, before I specialise in Sony hand sets.
[Sony Xperia E3] KrAzYtHeBoY:
Not found "Root Fix" in recovery. Im use D2203 and CWM v6.0.5.1

in "Advaned --> Power OFF" this phone is OFF, not show option fix root... problem?

Open the SuperSU app and update binaries not work... Show ERROR in update binaries
[Sony Xperia E3] vinay:
if you select reboot then you see fix root.

i do not have any solution for update binary fail. just flash update via recovery.
[Sony Xperia E3] KrAzYtHeBoY:
Im rooted using Kingroot... using terminal emulator for replace kingroot to superSU and works OK.
[Sony Xperia E3] image45:
When you exit the cwm based recovery it always advises that root could be lost on the D2203 device, with the option to fix as a rule. Don't you need an update supersu.zip to restore root, supersu and the binary su.
[Sony Xperia E3] r1f1:
I can't do it

First I install nitrogen rom but i don't like and I return to firmware 18.5.C.0.19 but now the phone wasn't rooted and I flash the kernenl on this post http://xdaforums.com/xperia-e3/general/simplified-guide-to-root-sony-xperia-e3-t3012248 but when I reboot the phone pressing hold vol up and down he didn't enter to cwm and when I prove it with root checker he says me the phone wasn't root.

Sorry for my bad english
[Sony Xperia E3] Koshigawa:
In Cwm Flash SuperSU
[Sony Xperia E3] r1f1:
the problem is what I can't get in cwm because the phone isn't root
[Sony Xperia E3] Koshigawa:
If you are already with the unlocked bootloader just flash the kernel cwm by FlashTool not necessarily need to have root
[Sony Xperia E3] r1f1:
and how I know if the bootloader is unlocked??
[Sony Xperia E3] Koshigawa:
In your device, open the dialler and enter *#*#7378423#*#* to access the service menu.

Tap Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. If Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes, then you can continue with the next step. If it says No, or if the status is missing, your device cannot be unlocked.

EDIT: after open site sony for unlock bootloader

Hey I need a little help here.

I'm not able to install Android SDK on my PC. Well, I mean I have installed it but it's not working. Says I have no JVM installed (which I have) and tells me if I have it installed to define JAVA_HOME variable in computer (which I did). So I don't know what to do if I can't even unlock my device.

How to unroot? :)

Because if I there is an update in the future, I need to unroot the device first to update right?
[Sony Xperia E3] image45:
Well I have not found any bugs with the current 4.4.4 build so unless I have missed something then the next update will most likely be a move to lollipop ? if E3 device gets supported.

As I unlocked my D2203 devices bootloader then i have had to use Sony developer world Emma or xperia flasher to install new updates on my phone. This has required the installation of update supersu.zip via recovery to achieve root access after.

If you flash a raw ftf file or install latest build via Emma you loose root access, along with super user app, binary su and busybox too.

There seems to be a problem in the initial unlockbootloader stage if using windows 10. After you replace the driver in the extras folder then try installing It, it says the driver has been tampered with and refuses to install it.

Any way around this?

You have to enable test mode and disable driver signature verification to install drivers ... You can do that from advance reboot ..

[Solved] Supersu failed updating library and no fix root option found

Hey guys, so I too followed this guide for my xperia e3 d2202 and couldn't find a fix root option and after that when my phone turned in, I could find the supersu app but it just wouldn't update the normal way, so what I did was.

1) tried flashing kinguser.zip file that I Googled up

Then the supersu was replaced with that app.

2) downloaded supersu me.apk file from Google and used it to remove kinguser and the app automatically installed supersu and it works fine now.

The current supersu version that got installed is v2.46.
[Sony Xperia E3] llranga:
just to update that Vinay's root method is worked for firmware 18.5.C.0.25 on sony Xperia E3 D2203.

i wanted to test kingroot. i tried to root with kingroot. it was successful and kinguser was successfully replaced with superSU. root checker indicated device is having full root access. but internal SD can not be accessed for writing. as a result xposed or universal init'd could not be installed.

but Vinay's method worked great.
[Sony Xperia E3] dougaldan:
Hi

Worked through this. Gets as far as rebooting phone to loading apps then get three errors, Can't read first. Second is keyboard has stopped working and third is camera common has stopped working. Boot up stops there.

Any thoughts
[Sony Xperia E3] vinay:
i got some errors like this most of them are solved by updating google services and app,s that are force closing.

if app can,t be updated than clear data of that app.
[Sony Xperia E3] dougaldan:
Thanks for the reply. However things have moved on (or back since my post). I was not able to do anything with the phone in the state described above.

The phone is a D2203 with Android 4.4.4

I flashed the kernel (in Vinay's post at the head if this thread). It went in with no errors. However on booting up it didn't allow me to access the recovery consul then didn't get past the Sony banner then stopped unresponsive. It is becoming more brick-like. I'm not sure where to go from here.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Doug
[Sony Xperia E3] vinay:
can you give detailed state of your device?

and btw if you don,t have time or wanna fix it asap you can flash whole ftf file. if you uncheck wipe data and cache then you can save your app,s and data too if not then it will be back to state like when it was new.
[Sony Xperia E3] dougaldan:
Hi,

Thanks again for your help

Currently having flashed your kernel it won't boot past the first "Sony" boot screen.

I have tried flashing D2203_ 18.5.C.0.19_Baltic.ftf. I did not uncheck data or cache. When I did this it booted as far as giving the errors relating to camera, enterprise services and Google. The errors flash past so quickly that I can't read them all so can't be sure that these are all or even correct. The camera is the final one and it cannot be circumvented. If I click "OK" the error comes back again and I can't get any further.

Doug

Is there a better .ftf file to flash
[Sony Xperia E3] vinay:
flash 18.5.C.0.25_<from anyone you like>.ftf
[Sony Xperia E3] dougaldan:
OK. Flashed 8.5.C.0.25_ES.ftf

It took it's time but I am now back at square 1 with a working phone, loaded with bloatware and not rooted.

Dare I start again!

Is the kernel mentioned at the head of the thread the one I should use with this firmware.

Again, Thanks for your help.

Doug
[Sony Xperia E3] vinay:
yes, you can use that kernel as long as firmware is 4.4.4 kitkat.
[Sony Xperia E3] dougaldan:
Hi Thanks, Everything went ok this time and have root access.

Update centre app says 18.5.C.0.25 Update is available. Doesn't obviously recognise that this is the firmwre installed. Can I uninstall update centre app.

Doug
[Sony Xperia E3] vinay:
yes you can uninstall update center.

due to multiple variants and i am using one ramdisk for all kernel,s cause this bug.
[Sony Xperia E3] image45:
Removing the update centre increases the rom space by around 6 mega bytes too. Small incriminate removal helps as bloatware removal if done safely while also speeding up your device.

---------- Post added at 08:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:51 PM ----------

I never considered it a bug after all it only confused the update centre that's kind of rendered no use after the bootloader is unlocked, new kernel with custom recovery is flashed and firmware is rooted along with busybox installed, so I uninstalled it straight away.

This means that you didn't really follow guide completely.

It's the boot image you are flashing which contains recovery in it.

So now that you have recovery, boot into recovery and flash the zip file which contains SuperSU binary files.

See you elaborated and I got you sorted out.

Try downloading the SuperSU file from the original website and then flash it.
