Has anyone tried to root their i9023 with 4.0.4 using doomlord's easy rooting toolkit? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1321582
I tried it when I had 2.3.6 and it worked perfectly but want to update to 4.0.4 now.
If doomlord's doesn't work, is there any similar one click rooting? Also, when I rooted, it didn't erase my data and apps. Will that be the same? Thanks
I guess not. Been searching and couldn't find a non-destructive one and one as a simple click without needing cwm.
There's none that I am aware of. However, it's not really that complicated to flash the right SU zip, and if you don't want to flash cwm you can simply fastboot boot cwm.img and it will leave stock recovery intact and ready after you flashed everything.

Couple things if you're already rooted on gingerbread do a nandroid back up. Put that and anything else you want to keep on your computer. Unlock the bootloader and restore your backup and update.
Stop messing around and unlock the bootloader.

How can he do a backup if the bootloader is locked = no cwm recovery? He's out of luck. Best thing he can do is backup the SD card and that's it. The rest is lost
Edit: failed to read sorry. Didn't notice the gingerbread part. Anyway if he's on stock and one clicked rooted he still doesn't have cwm so he can't make a nandroid, he can use titanium backup and save apps and data.

If he is stock rooted he can flash cwm in the os. Either through rom manager or terminal

I thought that locked bootloader prevented the flash of any kind of unsigned .img even if you have root.
Guess i was wrong ;D
That's what you get when your first step with an android phone is unlock the bootloader
Not a one size fits all. Some phones all you need is root to flash a custom recovery and roms/kernels.
Others it can be a mess. Like the HTC g2 or even now the one x on att. Got the entire s on/ s off encryption nonsense and so on.

He can flash a new recovery through the OS if he has root access only. Unlocked bootloader only provides fastboot support.
If you are fully stock (bootloader, recovery, no su), the only current way to root 4.0.4 is to have an unlocked bootloader.

Yeah that's what make my confusion. My old HTC Magic needed unlocked bootloader to flash a recovery.

Yeah about that i was pretty sure you needed unlocked bootloader, but about CWM flash i was convinced that you needed also unlocked bootloader, but as stated above, it's just for some devices.
Thank to all that responded. All this talk just flew over my head ... guess that's what I get for using simple one clicks
Let me try to straighten some stuff out.
How would I use titanium backup?
Do I titanium backup while it's still on gingerbread or after I OTA the ics 4.0.4?
Edit: duh! I can't use Ti backup after OTA ics because phone not rooted yet.
After backing up with Ti, I thought any attempt to root will erase all. Does the Ti backup not get erased?
Ti backup only backs up my app and the data to those apps, not how I customize my homescreen's widgets and notification bar, right?
So, I would have to do all that stuff over?
If I don't want to unlock bootloader or install cwm, any way to root and leave stock recovery intact?
Lazer Bear posted "if you don't want to flash cwm you can simply fastboot boot cwm.img and it will leave stock recovery intact and ready after you flashed everything."
Is that possible and how do I do it? Does that erase everything too?
Thanks to all!

I am on stock 4.0.4 with a locked bootloader. I want to have root with the stock rom, nothing else just root.
So I am gonna use the tool provided here,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544940
I have already installed drivers and have the tool downloaded.
Then I would like to flash the stock google 4.0.4 rom that will let me receive OTA updates. Is this the right file?

I heard there are problems flashing stock rom with CWR if the stock recovery isnt removed? Thats why I dont know if I should flash the stock image.
Is the process of flashing rom with CWR recovery the same as with stock recovery?
My phone is the i9023.
Thanks a bunch in advance.

Sorry should have specified my phone in the OP.
Best way is to do it manually. You can find all of the steps required here. The only difference is that you should be flashing the latest recovery from here and the latest superuser.zip file when flashing with recovery.
Note, unlocking bootloader will cause loss of EVERYTHING on the device that you have put on there (sdcard, apps, data partition, etc).

You suppose thats better to do manually so I will have latest version of recovery and superuser?
And yes I am aware of the data loss waited sometime to finish all my games now I am ready to lose all my app data.

Do it this way. The one click is fine but using Android SDK and going through all that will help you in the long run. This way you know the process in case something goes wrong. It may be confusing at first but worth it. It will teach you a lot more than flashing a one click!
I learnt a lot from this and feel much more experienced and capable because of it. I know I will be able to solve any major issues using Android Debug Bridge (adb).
Okay then I am gonna try the manual way and gonna take out time for it. Now I just need to know what do I flash once I have unlocked bootloader and installed CWR?
I just want the stock google rom and receive OTA if nexus S continues to be supported by google.
You won't need to reinstall the ROM if you are currently on 4.0.4. The ROM stays there as-is. Feel free to do your wipes in recovery and reflash stock 4.0.4 through CWM if you must. You flash CWM to your phone and then superuser through CWM.
Steps:
Setup ADB/fastboot
Bootloader --> fastboot oem unlock --> agree
Bootloader --> fastboot flash recovery recovery.img --> this will give you CWM
Recovery --> flash superuser.zip and, if you must, wipe and reflash ICS (flash su AFTER this if done)
Reboot --> bingo
Also note, with stock ROMs it will replace your current recovery with stock recovery on each boot. If you want to keep CWM, delete /system/etc/flash-recovery.sh when you first boot. You'll have to reflash recovery afterward and it will stick.
Oh I was of the impression that unlocking bootloader wipes everything means it wipes the OS as well. That is nice if it's just data and not the OS, dont think I would reflash it if it's not needed.
Can you explain what you mean by will have to reflash recovery? I will have to do that even if I delete that file on first boot? And whats the drawback if I dont delete that file and stick with stock recovery?
As soon as you boot into stock android it will replace the recovery. So if that file is there on first boot, it will replace it while booting and you will be without CWM (stock instead). After first boot you can delete the file (you can reflash a ROM which has this deleted, or delete it yourself from a stock ROM, or even use adb or a recovery-based file manager to delete the file, then you won't have this problem at all) and it will no longer reflash stock recovery, but you would already have the stock one and need to flash CWM one more time to get it to stick. Easiest way is to just flash CWM and delete it within android imo, saves mounting commands and the such.
No downside really. If you need to flash something for one reason or another you'll just have to reflash CWM before you do so. Once rooted, ROM Manager can do this for you within android anyway.
I had already downloaded and installed the drivers from the one click root thread and my computer shows the android adb thing when I connect my phone with USB debugging.
But as you guys suggested I am gonna do the manual way. So do I just skip the installing driver on computer in the part 1 of this guide?

Because you have a Nexus S with amoled. That's the i9020. The i9023 is SLCD.

He has the i9023 to my knowledge. It is completely normal, though. Bootloader and recovery for i9020 and i9023 series are the same, this can be attributed to the issue with 4.0.3 recovery backlight not turning on.
If fastboot recognises your phone in the bootloader (the fastboot menu), your drivers are installed an working perfectly.
Finally got to the unlock bootloader screen, didnt do it just yet but now I know how to do it.
I must say the guide is a bit outdated, the software has changed quite a bit seems. The most frustrating part was that the fastboot file is actually in the platform tools folder instead of the tools folder which I didnt figure for a while. I will hold off rooting when I have a whole day off because once I lose everything I would be very anxious to get my phone back to normal which will take time.
Thanks for the help harbb, if I have any problem flashing recovery and superuser I will come back for more help.
And yes I have the LCD version i9023.
Btw the guide said the fastboot will be in the tools folder but the tools folder had a read me that "adb has moved to the platform tools folder" this is how I figured to go to that folder and thats where the fastboot file actually was.
Now it says I should put the recovery image in the tools folder so should I do that or put it in the platform tools folder?
In the instructions for the flashing recovery I am not understanding one thing.
6 - Then back on the SNS select Power Off (Reboot also works)
Part 4 - Root
1 - Power ON the SNS
So after flashing recovery I have to reboot? Since I am on stock rom that would bring back the stock recovery so how would I flash superuser then?
If I delete the stock recovery can I still get OTA updates?
fastboot and adb is now in platform tools, that is correct. Easiest way is to put your recovery in there too so you don't have to type in the absolute file path to it, don't put it in tools.
Don't power off or reboot the phone. After you flash recovery go straight into the recovery menu and root, flash custom ROMs, kernels, etc. You can transfer files to flash via the mounts and storage --> mount usb storage menu. After this feel free to reboot.

Good work, been wandering what you were up to on this
Hope you enjoy the possibilities.
Is it possible to root and keep the stock recovery? If so dose any one have a guide?
Can you obtain root without unlocking the boot loader? if not can I lock it after I obtain root?
If i do a full ADB backup can I restore it after I root the phone?
Yes it's possible to root and keep the stock recovery. But you'll have to be unlocked. Put supersu on your device. Then boot, not flash, twrp recovery
fastboot boot twrp.img
When booted into twrp flash supersu
When you reboot your device you'll be rooted with the stock recovery.
Pro tip, I really don't recommend you root with the stock recovery. You can make nandroid backups with a custom recovery and if you screw something up playing with a rooted device you can easily restore it
Likewise, you can lock the device when rooted, but unlocking it will wipe the device if you screw something up.

Now that Android will not apply OTA updates if you're rooted there is really no reason to keep the stock recovery. In the past I would use OTA rootkeeper along with a stock recovery to keep root and still have OTA updates work properly but Google ruined that.
You can relock the bootloader any time you want. Unlocking it will wipe your device though.
Not sure about the ADB question. Typically anything you did to your phone would be lost and your phone would return to the state it was in at the time of a backup though. I have never done a backup in ADB to test what it does to the system partition though.
I forgot about the backup function with custom recovery. The last time I rooted an android phone was a Galaxy s2. What is the latest and greatest custom recovery now a days?
with the custom recovery how would I go about updating the OS if say 5.1.1 were to come out without having to do a clean wipe?

I recommend twrp recovery. Google nexus 5 teamwin.
To up date from a 5.1 to a 5.1.1 I just flash the system, boot, and radio images using fastboot. If it's a bigger version change you'll likely have to flash the whole factory image and deal with the wipe.
I am completely confused!. Can someone PLEASE help me????
I have a Z3 D6603 on 6.0.1
I want to use a custom rom, or root it just to use some extra features.
I gather i need to (in this order):
DOWNGRADE to another android OS
DOWNGRADE firmware
ROOT using whatever method available
BACKUP DRM KEYS
UNLOCK BOOTLOADER
UPGRADE ROM
RESTORE DRM
There doesn't seem to be a ALL IN ONE guide to do everything in one single thread. Instead i have endless windows open, go here do that, go elsewhere to this..etc...etc..etc. Most guides say i need to use specific firmware, but no mention on how to implement this. It seems you need 7 or 8 guides/windows open and for me thats way too confusing for me.
If someone has a spare time and can help me remotely via teamviewer, i would be grateful. Or a link to a all in one guide if it exists?

First of all you have to decide whether you want to install custom rom or just root the stock one.
There is no need to unlock bootloader in the second case.

Good point thanks for that, i think a stock rom will be ok. I just want to be able to:
1. Use xposed
2.Be able to free up my FULL internal memory by allowing transfer of apps to the sd card (that wont usually allow that).
But if there's other benefits with custom roms, such as extended battery life. Then i would definitely think about that.
So far i have made progress....
1. Downgraded to 4.4.4
2. Rooted.
So i am left to backup DRM keys (just because)
Then flash a rom.
Any pointers to pre rooted stock roms for D6603 for the EU./UK market?
Nice... I see you are on the right way already.
About the rom. I dont know. Perhaps DE will go fine. But maybe it might be useful to check the newest rom for your exact region with xperifirm at first.
I have soft bricked my phone.
So i installed TWRP recovery, and booted into recovery. I deleted DATA, CACHE, DALVIC, SYSTEM.
Then i went to install my pre rooted rom, but it was not picking it up. So i removed SD card and put into my PC and then copied this zip file onto it again. PLugged back into Z3 and again phone is not picking it up. So i tried to reboot phone to get back into recovery and it is stuck on the SONY splash screen.
.EDIT:
Got it back up and running again using the old firmware 4.4.4 and also rooted it again.
right, now when i go to install a pre-rooted stock 6.0.1 rom. Do i need to delete CACHE, SYSTEM, DALVIC, DATA or not???? this part is confusing and not mentioned anywhere that i can see.
Right, after messing with this the whole entire day. I am stuck again. So this is what i did.
1- DOWNGRADE to 4.4.4
2- ROOT Z3 USING ONE CLICK ROOT SOLUTION
3- INSTALL [NUT] RECOVERY
4 -ERASE DALVIC, CACHE, SYSTEM, DATA
5- INSTALL PRE ROOTED 6.0.1 ROM
ALL OK.
But that is where i am stuck. The main reason i want a rooted phone is to use xposed. So now i need to boot into recovery to install it.
Recovery is missing?!?!?! ok. So i try to install it again from the instal.bat (NUT) i downloaded earlier. Now phone is in a reboot loop on the sony splash screen. I have done the above process 4 times now, i can confirm the [NUT] RECOVERY does NOT work on marshmallow. Which i am sure has been confirmed many times on here. Is there any other recovery that works on Z3 running marshmallow?

Back to KK you go.
- Root and install dual recovery
- Enter recovery
- Backup "Trim Area" (This is your TA backup - make sure you enable md5sum check)
- Do all the wipes
- Flash prerooted mm (it should have recovery built-in)
- To enter recovery, reboot and press volume down when the led comes on (It's the only way, reboot recovery apps don't work)

Thanks shoey, the TA backup you mentioned, do i need this if my bootloader is locked due to using stock roms?.
I think the route i am taking is stock roms.
The pre-rooted stock 6.0.1 UK rom i used doesn't seem to have recovery built in.
Maybe i should wait for [NUT] to release recovery version which works on MM? or is there any other recovery that works with locked bootloader?.

You can't have enough TA backups. Even if you only flash stock based roms[emoji14]
Gives peace of mind in case of corrupted partition or whatever.
So your prerooted mm ROM has no recovery? Or you want one specific to your region? You can make one for yourself. Search for PRF Creator and recroot 4.

Thank you buddy it worked perfectly!
:good::good::good::good::good::good:
Ok so I figure I'll just ask since there is so much old information, and dead links or links that lead to no real answers. I'm already rooted and on a stock rom. Build number is LMY48C. I tried flashing a new TWRP version, 3.2.3.0 official version, but every time I try to reboot to recovery it just stays on the Nvidia logo. I can boot back to the tablet and flash my old version, 2.8.7.1 and everything works fine. But nothing remotely new will flash with that version lol. Any ideas of what I'm missing? Thanks in advance for anyone that can help, I'm sure it's something stupidly easy that I'm messing up lol.
I'd recommend flashing back to stock using the latest Nvidia image...then allow it to upgrade itself...they only have 5.2 available on their site...after it upgrades you'll have the newest bootloader...then in fastboot flash your recovery.
Make sure you're bootloader unlocked the whole time! And don't lock it...leave it unlocked.
You should be good to go after that.
Extra info...I'm on LOS 14.1 using opengapp (custom config so it only installs what I want)
I also flash a few other things but everything is working on my shield....even Nvidia Games

Thanks for the reply. I was honestly just hoping there was a way to flash the newest bootloader without going to stock, but it looks like that's not an option. Ohh well, One more question, since you're actually on u custom ROM, does HDMI out work? I use that a lot with my TV haha.
If you want the easy quick way then you could pull the bootloader from the newest 15.1 zip as steel included it....flash the bootloader through fastboot and then proceed to flash twrp then wipe wipe wipe and install whatever rom you wanted...I still suggest 14.1 and yes the HDMI works.
