[D2403] Easy ROOTing and Safety unlocking bootloader - Sony Xperia M2

My method is completely safe and tested repeatedly. Thanks to my friend and kernel developers Freack_v from XDA, I can provide you with a working kernel unRIC for D2403 with CWM recovery. Original thread on 4pda.ru/forum
What you need:
Download stock JB 4.3 for D2303 (don't worry).
Download stock 4.4.4 for D4303
Download Towelroot
Flashtool latest version.
BackupTA 9.11 tool
UpdateSuperSU.zip for CWM install
Download kernel unRIC for D2403 with CWM recovery
----- And so everything is ready------
Run FLASHTOOL and flash the 4.3 to phone. You have now just M2.
Run towelroot and makeitrain. Now you have ROOT.
Plug again to Flashtool and backup rawTA partition (need enabled usb debugging). In the folder .../flashtool/custom/ appears folder with the name of the serial number of your M2 AQUA.
For redundancy, you can make a backup through utility BackupTA. You now have a backup TA partition with DRM keys. Now you can always bring them back and bring the phone to the factory state.
The next step is to unlock the bootloader (in the forum thread has instructions)
The Next step is to flash the latest stock firmware 4.4.4, you can immediately connect in fastboot mode (for economy time to booting) and flash the kernel unRIC for D2403 with CWM or ALL M2 wit TWRP recovery from attached files.
Acces to RECOVERY - When it booting hold down the volume down button as soon as the lights pink LED, releasing this button when orange LED.
flash updateSuperSu.zip in CWM and reboot.
ALL done - you have full ROOT + CWM + backup TA (DRM keys)
IF you can't enter in to recovery try attached kernel ****SHIFT GPIO*** or download http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60379837&postcount=22
CWM Kernel by Freack_v good work with new Firmware *.1.13
Sorry for my English

It's the last file attached, boot_D2403_4.4.4_here.zip. Just extract the archive.
I'm testing this method atm, will post my results later.
EDIT: Finally finished rooting my device... I did everything as it says, rooted and made a backup of TA, then spent some time with fastboot drivers (had to restart my w8.1 x64 to disable "driver signature enforcement" to allow installing driver), flashed 4.4.4, flashed boot, made into recovery (first question was with root permissions, I answered yes), then again into recovery, installed SuperSU, when exiting asked again about root, again yes, got stuck into bootloop... Back to recovery again, wiped everything (cache, dalvik cache and even data), phone boots up, SuperSU shows up in menu. Tried with Root Explorer, System mounts r/w nicely. Spent almost 2 hours rooting, but at least I feel safe now. As I'm a noob when it comes to Sony devices (I've only rooted a few Samsung devices), this was a very good practise!

Well, I guess the kernel could be an option - you can flash the kernel with cwm, or flash the kernel with twrp.

@mantazzo
No, this kernel packed in img. And will be flashed through Flashtool or Fasboot application in Fastboot mode. This kernel universal. It works on all models m2 on last firmware. Hit thanks @freack_v

When you say "which have both CWM & TWRP " I dont get the ides - WHen you flash only the kernel, how is CWM/TWRP showing up ? They are supposed to be residing in the Recovery partition, right ? We flash kernel into the System parition, isnt it ?
Suppose if "hotboot" the kernel without flashing it. Will I have access to CWM ?

Yes. It's possible to load a recovery during boot. We just have to patch a script/binary which gets executed during boot. For example /system/bin/charger or /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
But there are two problems with stock kernel :-
1. In 3.4 kernel for FWVGA devices, video driver (msm_fb.c), needs to be patched for fixing frame buffers. Otherwise graphics show up messed in recoveries.
2. There's also an issue of reserved fields which block cwm start-up. Though twrp boots fine but with graphic glitches due to 1.
So best I can do is to make twrp for locked BL. Though it'll be almost unusable due to graphic glitches.
I hope, you understand my problem here.

Cant you port from xperia z's recovery ?
I tried to install the twrp provided for Z on locked bootloader but not worked for our device. When I take a look on installation script, it pushes charger files to system/bin but our charger file is located on root folder. I dont have recovey so didn't tried to push Z's files on our device at correct location as i'm afraid of bootloop.
If porting of Z's recovery can't be done, please make twrp for our devices ignoring the graphic issues. atleast we will have the recovery.
and i would like to make you know if you don't that or device has CWM pre installed but with restrictions. so may be looking more into system files may make CWM possible
Thanks for taking me in consideration.

Hi! You need to unlock your bootloader See it in the service menu, that it is allowed or not. If not, like me, you're not lucky -yet, if it says allowed, then there is a tutorial in the forum how to do this!

And with MTK Droid Tool I can't change/restore my IMEI. See also the screenshot of MTK. It says --- Unknown ROM structure, backup NOT possible!
Is there a another way to restore my IMEI? Also I have no .nv_data file. It's not on my phone. Have anyone this file for My phone or another solution?

PCC restore is not an option. I haven't make one. So I go look on the internet for a custom ROM flash.

Hi. I have a similar problem.
Phone (xperia J) is working fine with stock rom, rooted and unlocked bootloader. But when i flash custom rom there is no IMEI, no signal and no efs folder (nv_data file). And if I go back to stock rom the IMEI is back and mobile network works.
So my question is is there any way to transfer IMEI, recreate efs folder, so I can use custom roms?

Use it at your own risk. Read this text first before you get started.
If you follow these steps your phone is back to the original settings. You have your signal back and you IMEI.
Now you want your phone rooted! Right? Right!
For rooting Sony Xperia J 11.0.A.7.5 version, 11.2.A.0.21, 11.2.A.0.31 (and or later) using ClockworkMod (CWM) recovery necessitating an unlocked bootloader (unlocked bootloader).
Broadly speaking, the rooting procedure using CWM recovery to install su, busybox and Superuser.apk files bundled in the update. The steps are: flash CWM, rooting package update using CWM recovery, then flash the stock kernel back.
Preparation:
1. Fastboot files here
2. Unlock Boatloader.
3. CWM Sony Xperia J (boot.img)
4. Sony Xperia J stock kernel 11.0.A.7.5 (kernel.sin), can be extracted from the image ftf.
5. Update file for rooting (root_xperia_signed.zip
Update March 8, 2013:
All the required files in the download is packaged in the following:
- Version 11.0.A.7.5
- Version 11.2.A.0.21
- Version 11.2.A.0.31 (May 30, 2013)
The steps:
1. Root_xperia_signed.zip copy files to the internal / external sdcard.
2. Prepare boot.img, kernel.sin, fastboot.exe into the working folder. (Make self a folder on you PC Harddisk)
3. Prepare boot.img, kernel.sin, fastboot.exe into the working folder.
Turn off the phone, unplug the USB cable and go into fastboot mode by pressing and holding down the Vol + Up while plugging in the USB cable, fastboot mode can be seen from the blue LED light on the top panel.
4. Check whether the connection is correct fastboot, type in Command Prompt:
fastboot getvar version​
If prompt <waiting for device> is displayed, then the connection is not successful, try to check whether the driver for fastboot already installed.
5. Flash CWM and restart the phone:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot​
6. When the phone restarts, observe the LED on the bottom of the panel when it turns purple, immediately press and hold the Vol + Up button until the LED turns blue to get into CWM. USB cable can then be removed.
7. At CWM, select install zip from sdcard, then choose zip from sdcard / external sdcard and select the file in step 1 above. Continue reboot system now and turn off the phone (if necessary by removing the battery and repeat to enter fastboot mode).
8. Repeat steps 3 and 4.
9. Flash stock kernel:
fastboot flash boot kernel.sin
fastboot reboot​
10. Turn on the phone, check whether the application is installed SuperSU. Congratulations rooting successful.

Thanks, but that's not what i needed.
I already have stock rom rooted and working. Problem is if I install custom rom (FXP, PA), rom starts but no mobile signal and no IMEI. So I cannot use it.
Is there a way to like "copy/paste" IMEI from stock rom to custom rom?
edit: read somewhere on xda that this is a CM10 bug and CM10 based roms for xperia J.
disregard my last post (and previous post also)
fixed it!
what I did:
1. flash original stock ICS rom - 11.0.A.7.5.CE
2. reboot phone and then shutdown (not sure if this is necessary)
3. flash CWM img from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2034639
4. install custom rom (FXP233)
5. reboot
and now mobile signal works and IMEI is back.
hope it helps somebody and sorry for hijacking your thread Stoetel

Here you can find the latest Android 4.0.4 version for the Sony Xperia Tipo ST21
And here the CWM for Tipo.
Kernel can you extract from the ftf file. You can open th ftf file with Winzip or Winrar.
Flashtool. You can also use this program to check if your phone is bootlocked.
Go check this site if you need your phone to unlock the bootloader.
Follow the instructions above in the previous post. Or search on this forum for the solution.
Good luck.

Guide: Installing Kernels/Roms on Xperia L (Unlocked Bootloader only)

Hey there guys, this thread is noob friendly and is made especially for those of you who just got their first Sony phone and decided to flash a custom kernel or rom.
I am not responsible for anything that happens to your phone, use this tutorial at your own risk.
Things you'll need:
- Xperia L with Unlocked Bootloader(ofcourse haha) Look here on how to unlock your bootloader.
- Flashtool
Installing a kernel (This tutorial is for 4.2.2 only, that is 15.3.A.0.26+)
1. Download phantom kernel from here (both Phantom_modules.zip and the boot.img) Place the "Phantom_modules.zip" into your phone (sd card or internal storage) Or you can use any other kernel's boot.img
2. After installing flashtool, or if you already have it installed, open it and click on the Flash icon (the first icon from the left)
4. When it asks you to choose a bootmode, select fastboot mode and press ok.
5. After all this has done turn of your phone (Xperia L).
6. Get out your usb cable and plug it into your computer while holding the "volume up" button. (notice your phone will glow blue below, this means that it is in fastboot mode.)
7. On the pop up window where it says "By Doomlord", choose "select kernel to flash". Locate your boot.img file that you just downloaded a while ago and select it.(Notice if the boot.img file is not showing up in the file menu, on the right cornor make sure the file type is set as "*.img")
8. Be patient and wait till the kernel has been flashed, should take no longer than 10 seconds.
9. Now select "Reboot device into system" and wait for your phone to power on, now once it's powered on without any problems turn it off. Now turn on your phone and wait for a purple glow then hold down the "volume down"button. Now you'll be in CWM (clock work recovery mod) Once you're here select install from zip. Locate your "phantom_modules.zip"(or the zip file, of your kernel choice) and select yes. Wait for it to be flashed and then go back and, reboot sytem.
10. From here you can flash any kernel/rom via CWM, like Thunderzap or civic. Just boot into cwm, select install from zip and locate your kernel zip file and hit install.
Credits:
- Kernel Owners.
- Sony for their kernel source
Hit thanks if this helped you out.
I don't think that's needed to be Phantom Kernel, or any other in specific, since the kernel provide a recovery with the possibility to flash a zip, it's ok (correct if I'm wrong).
I had unlocked my bootloader, then flashed the boot.img inside of the flashable zip from ThunderZap, then, rebooted to recovery right way, and flashed the entire package from ThunderZap.
Regards and thanks for the helpfull post!

No probs
Well it was the first kernel for 4.2.2 and that's why I put it up instead. I know we can use the boot.img from thunderzap too but if I'm not specific enough most of the noobs wont understand. I also chose that kernel because it comes with a recovery so then you can just flash other kernels via cwm.
Complicated - with properly installed drivers you can start flashtool with usb-cable plugged in. After clicking the flash icon choose "Reboot into fastboot mode (via ADB)".
When the phone is in fastboot mode (blue led) choose "Select kernel to flash". No need to turn off the phone and play with cable and vol-down button...

Sorry for noob question, but in step 9, can I skip the flashing "phantom_modules.zip" part and keep the stock kernel?
-----
Ignore this. I thought it was CWM only. I should have researched more before installing this. But I installed it and it is working good.

Yes!
Thank you very much for this useful guide.
But I' ve two things to say:
1_If I didn't flash the phantom kernel can I flash a custom ROM.
2_Please the link for boot.IMG is not working they don't find the file could give me a working link.
And thank you very very much.

Return to stock and try again. There's a guide to flash stock rom here somewhere. You can search for it.

Flash any (4.2.2) stock rom and try again. That's why your WiFi probably isn't working. Either that or you didn't flash the kernel zip file (ex thunderzap4.1.zip) after fast booting the kernel img.

WiFi now working
I am also facing the same issue where wifi is not working on any Rom. So after following the steps mentioned earlier. What exactly should be done like boot to recovery then flash gapps and then reboot. Once booted flash boot.img from the Rom and then boot to recovery to flash the full kernal zip package..?

I have a HUGE problem. Please help me ASAP!
I just flashed my Xperia L to CM 12.1. I was already on CM 12 before. So I went into recovery, wiped everything and installed the new ROM from zip. Everything worked fine except for the network signal. I was getting no network signal at all. So, when I rebooted the phone, I saw that the ThunderZap kernel was also removed. I tried to flash the kernel using flashtool, but this particular variant has 2 .img files (bootlp and bootkk). I flashed them both using the FlashtTool. Now, when I reboot my phone, all I see is the ThunderZap logo. Please help me ASAP, as this is my only primary driver phone.

What's the difference between this version and 18.3.C.0.37 except root? Also how to flash cwm?
Now we just need a method to bring CWM or TRWP to the D2303. Or is it included in the above, and I can flash it via kernel + Flashtool?
I will update the op as soon as posible.

If the kernel contains CWM, I could extract the kernel.elf from the .zip, then flash it via fastboot. Correct?
Which region is the ROM from?

The kernel in this zip file not includes CWM! You need the CWM from DooMloRD.
Flash this file via fastboot, then reboot in recovery.
This is the customized MY 1281-1590 version of this firmware.

The differences are minimal, minor bugfixes. On my device it works fine.
For flash the CWM, read the op.
when will their be a custom kernel for us locked bootloaders with cwm on it .as would like to see it on the m2 locked bootloaders .
If the fix mount system tut here does not work for you, which may not, here is a simple fix just for removing the unneeded system apk's after flashing dotzi's 18.3.C.0.39:
- create a file named "enable" with a file editor with the value 0 in it
- save the file without .txt extension, or remove the extension after the file is saved
- copy the file "enable" to sys/kernel/security/sony_ric (ignore any failed operation message)
- set permissions to rw-r-r-
Gives full access to all system files for the current session.

This customized ROM works fine for me. Thanks to the OP!
Perfect would be CWM integrated into kernel, dito for the mount-sript (and init support) into ROM. That's all we need No de-odexing or other pointless stuff.

Nice to hear that it works. To integrate CWM will only be possible if a working Recovery is available for the D2303. I just tried it in the kernel building, but I failed miserably. But I will try as soon as possible to integrate the mount-script and the init.d support.
Let us hope that even more people to deal with it and the development is of overriding driven.

Consider putting the doomlord kernel which contains the CWM onto another storage (if he allows). Downloading from the current location is really not fun.
I'll be subscribing here as it seems you want to bring it further.:good:
Wow, nice one
Thanks for your hard work, really appreciate it
(Currently waiting for the dual-SIM one xD)
How do you were able to install CWM ? Your link is linket do DooMLoRD's CWM für JB for the D2305.
I'm gedtting a bootloop by installing it.

It doesn't matter. Flash the cwm via fastboot, and boot only in recovery by pressing vol down. Then Flash the zip file and reboot! It works, believe me!

For mounting system permanent use the latest version Busybox Installer, previous version will not work. Then use Init.d Toggle (both Play store).
Thanks, finaly my M2 KK is rooted.

Once bootloader unlocked, download and install TWRP & Root files from This Link Mod Edit: Link removed
Make sure USB debugging enabled and have made a full backup of the mobile
once TWRP is installed download the custom firmware from This Link http://corneey.com/wwX0JD

Thanks dude this rom is amazing i'am impressed by your work .:good:
Cons/bugs:
1) No otg support ( otg is not important for me)
Pros:
1)Ram availability is upto 1300 (in original rom i got 700 to 800).
2) More internal space: After installation this rom takes 1gb of space only.
3) It has OpenGl es 3.1 good for graphics/gaming.
4) SE linux can be changed between permissive and enforcin .(i used app for that)
i guess thats all i found so far but this rom is great fo my device (Huawei y6 pro Tit-al00)
again thanks Abidulla and thankyou Xda.
Don't I have to wipe cache, wipe data, format mount in the process of installing this Rom?
