Gravity box lp

Serajr xposed lp

Blurred system ui

Guys, I followed that link and installed super-sume to remove the kings app. But now my XZR is boot looping. It shows the usual Sony then the animation which doesn't go any further. I was using Latest lollipop in India. I downloaded the flash-tool as well. But, now I am clueless what to do. I also wanted to degrade to Kitkat 4.4.4 simply because I was having a phantom touch problem with the latest lollipop.

Guys please help me out. Is my device gone for good? What other files do I need to download for Kitkat 4.4.4 and then root it perhaps. Please share the links.

I was also able to take TA backup and Installed Dual Recovery.

Now my last concern is how to install Xposed on this mobile. Can somebody guide me out here?

Does xposed work with lollipop 5.1.1? Also, I have seen a thread for Xperia ZR that shows how to install Xposed on kitkat but it doesn't mention about lollipop. Any help would be much appreciated.

Edit: Mentioned Kitkat in place of lolipop now corrected.

[Sony Xperia ZR] shorty66:
Looks like you are trying to run a cracked game. Warez are not subject of discussion on XDA-Developers.

If it's just a modded game i would recommend to try another mod, as a lot of mods simply do not work.

Downgrading most certainly won't solve the issue.

But is it ok to downgrade the phone even if its not rooted?

[Sony Xperia ZR] avik735:
I have two problems that I wanted to ask about. My phone is [LB] Rooted C5502 [LP 5.1.1 Customized_IN]. I updated to LP 5.1.1 from JB 4.3. I am facing the following two issues -

1. TWRP cannot mount system as rw. In LP 5.0.2, TWRP can mount system as rw, but not in 5.1.1. Hence all Backup-Restore operation now has to go through 5.0.2. Is this a TWRP problem or a ROM security feature?

2. My network mode resets to WCDMA only every few minutes. My location has WCDMA, but GSM is still the prevalent one, hence WCDMA(preferred)/GSM is my preferred mode, especially for call and sms services to work properly. It's a recurring problem. Is there a solution?

[Sony Xperia ZR] highevolutionary:
Noob...Help..

Can anyone tell me how to get root access for my Xperia ZR [5.1.1] [Build 10.7.A.0.222] without unlocking my bootloader if possible? I have researched my fair share and they are all pretty confusing. There was this article I read on techbeats.com (can't link the article here because my first post) which uses PRF creator and accordingly I have to flash two firmwares namely .283 and .230 to get root access. Why can't I just directly flash .230, root and then get back to flash the Pre-rooted 10.7.A.0.222 which I created using PRFC? Why is the flashing .283 step necessary? I know there are lot more threads on xda forums which help in rooting ZR but sometimes you guys are confusing with all those terminologies (no offence) Hence I relied on that article. I am a total newbie to this whole android superuser world thing and I am still learning so please bear with me.
[Sony Xperia ZR] Stunter and hacker:
I think u should go to super su and enable root permission to all
[Sony Xperia ZR] neildalal:
There is no need to flash the 2 firmwares if you are using a pre rooted rom.

Which ever firmware your currently on is fine. Just ensure you have Twrp installed and then move your pre rooted zip to your sd card. Enter recovery, wipe cache and dalvik and flash the zip via recovery.

If you want to have a recovery on 5.1.1 also, then download it from my above post and flash it after you have flashed the pre rooted zip
[Sony Xperia ZR] sling-shot:
What changes are present in the different country variants of stock ROM?
[Sony Xperia ZR] neildalal:
Everythings same except for the pre-installed regional apps.

For example the US version has a ps video, LinkedIn, etc apps pre installed

while the Indian version has Sony Music, Sony live apps pre installed.
[Sony Xperia ZR] sling-shot:
Thanks. So if I do not get a pre-rooted Indian version 5.1.1 for my ZR or I will be unable to create one by myself using instructions provided, I can flash some country variant (say Nordic the pre-rooted version of which has been posted already) and carry on. I do not care much for Sony Live or something.

Have you upgraded to 5.1.1?
[Sony Xperia ZR] neildalal:
Yes you can flash some other country varient without any problem.

Yes have updated to 5.1.1. Have an unlocked bootloader so it was quite simply for me.....
[Sony Xperia ZR] sling-shot:
I am not willing to unlock bootloader yet.

I am on 4.4.4 with root using SuperSU. Been searching the proper method of upgrading to Lollipop while keeping root or rooting updated Lollipop without unlocking bootloader.
[Sony Xperia ZR] neildalal:
Yes even I suggest not to unlock your bootloader unless you want to use some custom rom like cm12 as unlocking the bootloader will decrease the camera performance in low light conditions and some other features like bravia engine 2 will stop working..

Instead if you want to stay on stock Sony rom then just get a pre rooted firmware (of any country) and then flash it through recovery and you will be on 5.1.1 rooted.

If you want recovery also then after you flash the Pre-rooted zip flash the NUT dual recovery flashable zip as well.
[Sony Xperia ZR] sling-shot:
This seems to be the best option for me. Thanks a lot.
[Sony Xperia ZR] highevolutionary:
Thank you. So that means all I have to do is just create a pre-rooted firmware using the stock on PRFC and just flash it. No need of additional steps like one click root and as such? I don't have any recovery installed right now since I am totally on stock nothing changed, So how do i install one without unlocking the bootloader?
[Sony Xperia ZR] neildalal:
Go to this website of NUT and download the Xperia ZR lockeddualrecovery installer.zip on your computer and extract it. Enable USB debugging on your Xperia ZR and connect it to the pc. Run the .bat file in it and follow the instructions...

Note: When you connect you will get a pop up on the phone to allow debugging on the pc. Press allow.

You will also be asked to grant root to adb. Press allow.

And yes no need for those additional steps like one click root.

I am assuming you already have root on your current firmware.

If you dont then before you follow the above procedure you will have to downgrade to. 230 (kitkat 4.4.2) or lower and then download towelroot app on your phone and root it. Then you will have to do the above steps to get recovery and then you may proceed to flash 5.1.1 as I told you in my previous posts.

I dont know any easy root methods for 4.4.4 kitkat

New motherboard costs MUCH than the whole phone?

Hi guys!

I brought the phone about 2 and a half years ago. I lovin it and I always changed roms and etc. SOMEHOW the phone discharged (im such an idiot) when i was flashing the new SONY official 5.0.... This FlashIC thing gets ****ed up, and i bring the phone to the sony official service ( Cordon Electronics Hungary) This phone cost to me like 351 EURO (110.000 HUF), and the service said 'Motherboard replace'.. They want me to pay 446 EURO (139.954 HUF) for this 2,5 yo phone.... WHY?! A new phone is cheaper than the service or WhatTheActualF*ck ??!? Im so angry now because of this.... If you guys can sand me a page or anything where i can buya new motherboard, i ill make it home..... Or help me just in anything... at least to understand this ****ty f*cked-logic.

THANKS TO ANYONE!

Pm.: The sony not even manufactures the phone, The last manufactured phone was 220 Euro... its the half of the service cost... WHY?!
[Sony Xperia ZR] sling-shot:
Probably because tbey have to custom order it in small batches or something. And that CPU/Motherboard is not in use anywhere else now so cannot get it in bulk.

Best course is new phone. Lots of new models to choose from with better performance and lesser price.

[Sony Xperia ZR] sling-shot:
If you speak in this tone, it is unlikely you will ever get any help.

Now back to the topic, I have succeeded in getting the firmware manually. I followed this method :

1. Launch XperiFirm.

2. Go through the selection process for ZR and the latest Lollipop version.

3. In the popped up dialog window, select Manual and wait for links to be copied to clipboard.

4. Launch a download manager and get all the files.

I am getting the last file right now. I have done some more research and am now fairly confident of arriving at a solution soon.

Will update as things progress.

After all the preparation going through downloading stock firmware, creating a pre-rooted version and flashing the .zip through recovery I ended up with a single line error. On rebooting the upgrade to Lollipop was successful but there was no root :(

So I had to follow your advice and get root through Kingroot. Then I followed your advice further to replace Kingroot with SuperSU. Thanks for the help, you earn the award "Lifesaver of the highest order" today.

=========================

As a followup question, I am seeing this trouble in integrating updates to Play Store and YouTube into /system using Link2SD. All other system updates can be successfully integrated.

In these 2 cases, Link2SD creates a folder called PhonSky.t and YouTube.t in /system/priv-app and /system/app and keeps stuffing .apk files of ALL the installed programs into that folder hence invariably running out of space soon. I find this uncharacteristic and have not found a solution to this yet.

Is there a fully manual method of integrating these updates into /system? In KitKat at least we could just copy the .apk into the correct directory and it would install during next boot.

[Sony Xperia ZR] kash296:
So here's the thing. There's been heavy rains in my hometown of late. And the two ports for the charger and headphones on my phone have long since been broken. Like well over a year. And unfortunately for me, water went into my device. The display looks to be a goner, but when i put it to charge, it seems to power up. Any chance of me salvaging any data from my internal memory? I'm particularly keen on getting my whatsapp data back, if possible. :/
[Sony Xperia ZR] enfilade:
Did you try to connect it to a computer? The internal storage shows up if USB connectivity is set to MTP on your device. It might also show up if it is set to MSC, but I'm not sure about that.
[Sony Xperia ZR] kash296:
well, i have done the usual. Sadly it doesn't show up. The only thing that does work is fastboot. I hoped somehow it'd boot, and i could use ADB to recover the required data. When i put it to charge, the sony logo shows up, disappears, shows up and does so on and on, as if the boot cycle has been disrupted, making me suspect that my phone's hardware is fried, which i sincerely hope is not the case. Last night i was unable to even reach my home, where there was no power anyway. And also my phone had only like 10% battery remaining, so almost everything doesn't go in favor of me recovering anything from the internal storage. Fortunately my SD card's fine, i can load that up in to my tab and proceed as if nothing really ever happened. It's just that i'm hoping i can recover my whatsapp data and possibly some photos which were saved onto my internal storage.
[Sony Xperia ZR] enfilade:
If the Sony logo shows up, then it is not a display issue.

You should try to flash a firmware (using flashtool) on your device without wiping internal storage and see if you could get it to boot.
[Sony Xperia ZR] kash296:
well, i'll add another detail then, the logo shows up, though the screen is a bit distorted, as the effect of water going in is pretty visible. So what happens is the logo shows, the device powers off, and restarts. Sort of like a bootloop even before the actual boot begins. It's a little complicated. kinda tough to get photos to show too.
