If the zip requires root permissions, it could cause problems. If you don't know what you're doing, best not to do it, as you could run the risk of bricking your device.

Check the description of the zip file you downloaded if it needs your phone to be rooted. Almost all system customization and zip files required rooted device. Rooting is easy if you follow the instructions carefully, although it can void your warranty. but you can always unroot your phone for warranty purposes. You can only brick your phone if miss or you didn't follow the instruction. If you didn't want to root then don't, because there are many customization on the market. ROOT AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Its called reflashing the kernel. ^_^

What about flashing the Sony Framework (in zip file) to install PS4 Remoteplay from the Play Store, will that require Root. Also how do you do it. I have rooted my device before but unrooted because i didnt want to use Magisk to play Pokemon Go.

[Q] how to flash cwm in xperia e using odin??

guyz..i want to flash cwm on my xperia e C1505.
i dont want to go into bootloops again..( i have flashed it b4,facing bootloops )..is there any method to flash cwm using odin flashtool..
i have my nandroid bckup..
phone : xperia e C1505
root status : yes
unlocked bootloader : no

First you have to unlock the bootloader and then flash cwm if you did not unlock the bootloader you will surely get bootloops and I dont know about odin and if you faces bootloops you should flash you phone's firmware via flashtool.
Thank me if I helped you.

Odin is for Samsung devices.
you have to use flashtool.
cwm for Xperia e on a locked bootloader is currently not available.
you need to unlock your bootloader,and then if you face a bootloop you can flash stock firmware.
and then when it's done flash cwm kernel

i did the proces(which u said) before...i faved bootloops...and from many researches in xda,i recovered my cell,now i dont wanna make my phone dead again..!!
hit thanks button..be helpful..!!

thanks,it workedd:laugh:

... i'm also a C1505 user and i have already used cwm on this device succesfully. Odin is for samsung devices but if you 'really' want cwm here is what i can suggest you to do to unlock bl (i did not face any bootloops on my first attempt to unlock the bootloader(is that luck?)).
1. back-up files, photos...
2. make sure that your C1505 is 11.3.A.2.23 and PC companion is installed and running, and you have flashtool ready on your desktop.
3. follow this thread for unlocking the bootloader (this was the one i used).
if you still face bootloops, you could repair it by using PC companion or downloading a 11.3.A.2.23 .ftf then flashing by using adroxydes flastool
i hope this helpsss.

Don't worry if you face bootloops, you can always flash stock firmware to fix them. I flashed CWM with adb via command line and it's perfect. Installed CM10 1.1.0 and works fine. PM if you want it

last night i also did the same mistake and spent all night searching for the firmware and foud these two links
1.) this is a google drive link to the firmware which is gonna take a long time to download but is not tampered at all
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_d8uWGbkaetNHNXUGZXQkFIUTg/edit?usp=sharing
2.) this is link from mediafire and is quite stable try it
http://download2230.mediafire.com/wy8ug6ap80hg/tkge9fmwdfkw0x8/Xperia+M+4.3.zip
if this works,then good otherwise just search for the latest firmware in ftf format and then flash it to your phone

[Q] need help on unlocking my st15i pls help ( tried all tutorials)

hello guys i need a little help. i am using sony xperia 2011 device which is xperia mini st15i.
its rooted with eroot on stock rom and stock kernel with locked bootloader.
i wanted to install cwm mod on my phone but i found that i cant install cwm on my device as my stock kernel does not have recovery partition and i dont want to unlock my bootloader atm. i tried xparts and xdaromhub to install cwm on my device without unlocking bl but none of the method seems to be working for me. now i am thinking to go ahead and unlocking my bl and install a custom kernel but i want to know is there any method by which i cam backup my current state of my phone i.e. in future if i want to revert back to stock rom and stock kernel with bootloader locked like it was never unlocked. if there is a method for that please tell me or if u know any other method of installing cwm without unlocking bl pls tell me that too. also i have a backup of my stock firmware from pc companion which i made .ftf file with flashtool. i have flashed it successfully in past so will that firmware relock my bootloader and revert to stock kernel and stock rom if i flash it with flashtool after unlocking bl? any help would be greatly appreciated. thank you so much for reading

hi i installed old version of xparts and i was able to install the cwm 5.0 and make it work but still i cant install 5.5 version of cwm from latest xparts any suggestions. also pls can any1 tell me about my question above that will the stock firmware .ftf file relock bootloader and stock kernel? pls any help even a little would be appreciated thank you
