Hey guys, I have a Sony Xperia M2 on Android 5.1.1 18.6.A.0.175 rooted with this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-m2/general/unlocked-bl-root-sony-xperia-m2-android-t3214498 . Now there's a new update available fixing the camera and GPS issues. My question is should I do the update? Will my root be gone? Will it brick my phone? I don't know what to do, please help me! Oh and btw, I installed this with my custom recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...ashable-camera-blobs-morpho-settings-t3281766 .

You can't update your phone via OTA if the bootloader is unlocked.
Update with Flastool?

Ok thanks for the quick answer. So I need to download and flash the ftf-file and root it after it? will my data be gone after flashing the ftf?
Just flash linuxct's updated camera files from this new update then swap the GPS file for the KK one update done.

Hi,
My xperia s got the official Sony update to jb 4.1.2 and (ofcourse) I lost the root.
Is there any way to root my device again?
Bootloader cannot be unlocked!
Tried Bin4ry v30, but no result!
Can I flash from jb 4.1.2 to jb-prerooted? (bootloader cannot be unlocked)
Can I downgrade to ics and than upgrade to jb-prerooted?
Hope somebody has a suggestion/answer.
Thanks

How do you have 4.2.1 when sony never released it
Sorry, must be jb 4.1.2 (6.2.B.0.200)
OK, this is what I did.....
1 Use Flashtool to downgrade to ICS
2 Install RecoverX (FIXED) for ICS
3 Copy JB Prerooted to sd-card (don't unzip!!)
4 Reboot in recovery and install JB-Prerooted
5 Have fun!!
Thanks to everyone who made this possible.......:good:

have u found way to root ur m2 aqua? if u do mind to share:fingers-crossed:
I'd really appraciate a method, how to root M2 AQUA. I've tried a root method described for M2 kitkat, but it doesn't work.
xperiam2aqua
same here guys,im also a m2 aqua kk user,could hardly find a way on how to root it,hope one day someone will share how to root m2 aqua
How to root the m2 aqua?
I tried by flsashing a TWRP boot.img/kernel for the Orignal M2. Don't do that..
I tried by flashing a TWRP boot.img/kernel for the Orignal M2. Don't do that.. It WILL brick your device and requires you to flash the firmware back.. I'm not sure if there is a method yet honestly. There's no custom recovery for the aqua yet it seems and towelroot is patched. All I can say is see, request, and/or donate for someone to port CWM or TWRP.
Had this M2 Aqua for about 2 months now and I AM ITCHINGGG in getting this rooted. So sad that there isn't seem to be a way to root it yet. :crying::crying::crying:
anybody was able to root it? I NEED ROOT!
Cant survive without Greenify Root
I confirm that Miche1asso's method works for the M2 D2403 here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-m2/help/qa-rooting-locked-bootloader-ota-method-t2999665
As I wanted to be uber safe and careful, I downloaded my region's ftf with XperiFirm (so it would an exact copy of the one originally on my phone). It's possible that any 18.3.1.C.0.21 would work, but I wouldn't risk it.
Also: I believe Miche1asso may have overlooked the following in his "Preparation" section:
set "Unknown sources" to "enabled" @ Settings => Security
(Otherwise you might get root but without R/W)

Hi there,
I have recently successfully rooted my D2403, using KingoRoot.. its a one click program, works very well. still trying to get twrp to work, will keep udated.
That's the last thing I'd use to root my Phone, you do know it's supposed to harvest imei no's. The root method for the normal m2 should work using the m2 Kernel and is supposed to bootloop while you're doing the rooting using Michaelasso root method . The easiest way I think it's too just flash a jb rom root with towelroot then update ota to 4.4.2 then 4.4.4

No, you will lose root
You will have to wait until someone releases a pre-rooted flashable zip for the latest firmware. Then you can just flash it in recovery

Now I'm confused. You said earlier that there's no need to unlock bootloader but this new link you gave me says I have to. What I'm asking from you is if this recovery here http://forum.xda-developers.com/t2-ultra/development/t2-ultra-xzdualrecovery-qa-t2823793 will also work on c3/kitkat without unlocking bootloader.
Yes or No?
