Can someone tell me is the rooting guide from this thread forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1693956 works on the latest android ics 4.0.4 update (4.1.B.0.587 build number).
Thanks in advance
Don't try it
If u have unlocked bootloader I think it should work,
but if u have unlocked BL why don't just flash a 4.1.B.0.431 kernel?

If I flash that kernel the update to new build number is not available.I got that message when I tryed to update with bootloader unlocked.Thats why I locked the bootloader to be able to get the new build update.The message was: your current version can't be updated...
Any help with this problem ???
Thanks in advance

Since you have installed an older kernel android will take it that your phone isn't up to date and prompt you to update, but since you already have the latest version the update will fail. AFAIK it will pose no threat to your phone's health, though I don't know how to disable the update check, let alone to be rid of the message.
Hello,
Excuse me for asking such question but I have never Boot Unlocked & Rooted any Sony smartphone so I'm confused here. I have only rooted LG and Samsung before without Unlocking the Boot as it was straight forward process. I have found this tutorial and everything is fine as I have got "Bootloader unlock allowed" in service information which confirms that I can root my Xperia. However when I visit the official website to get my unlock key it says that I need to be on software version 18.3.C.0.37 where my one is 18.6.A.0.175. Do I just use this official website to generate the unlock key and then use the flashtool to do it anyway ? I have use flashtool before but just for flashing the TFT file. Also after I unlock the bootloader how do I install custom recovery mode then install or back up the whole OS ?
If someone would help me I will appreciate your help. :good:
Thank You.
Ok, so right now you don't need to unlock bootloader to root M2 with 5.1.1. (At least not on 2306). Anyway, when you go to official website, they ask for your imei (after selecting your device). And then they give you the unlock code, they tell you how to unlock the BL with such code, with some SDK tools, but i prefer using flashtool since it does the job for me. So, after you open up flashtool, click on the icon that sais "BLU", it will ask you to select your device, you do so. After that it will ask for the unlock code, you put it in and click on unlock. After that it will do a procces, when finished, your BL will be unlocked.
I do gotta tell you, i've unlocked BL for 2 or 3 devices, all of the times everything goes right, exept once. After unlocking BL i ended with a bootloop. So for this case just turn off the phone, and flash any ftf. Bootloader will not re-lock after flashing.

Ok, thanks !
Also why do they say I need a software version 18.3.C.0.37 ? Could it be that their SDK tools require such version where Flashtool works on all of them ? Do you know how I can install custom recovery ? Do I still use CWM Recovery or something new and how can I flash new rom into it ? I have also heard something about emma when flashing rom ?
Thanks a lot for the help, I really appreciate it :good:

Sure no problem, about that i'm not sure, i've never had that android version issue before. For CWM you can get it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-m2/general/d2303-philz-touch-recovery-6-t3047492
Go to where it says "Download recovery" and download latest version (V0.7). Of course you have to be rooted in order to install. After you have root, enable usb debuging on your phone, and enable unkown sources just to be sure. Open the install.bat inside the file you just downloaded and follow the steps.
After you have CWM you can flash roms and other stuff.

I believe you need to downgrade to lp before you can unlock the bootloader and install twrp.

how to downgrade and what is the unlock boot loader ?
and when i bought phone what is the default ? that boot loader is locked ?
You may be able to use the Panasonic Eluga software to downgrade to lp.
You must unlock the bootloader to install twrp and cm.
Some info here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/idol-3/development/tool-tools-idol-3-5-5-4-7-t3441781
When flashing anything to any phone, things can go wrong; therefore, I suggest that you familiarize yourself with flashing and be ready in case of disaster.

You can't flash twrp unless the bootloader is unlocked. The bootloader cannot be unlocked on MM, only LP.

Hey guys , many people were having problems downgrading their device so i thought i should make this thread.
I have downgraded my phone successfully and this should also work for other variants.
So let's Start
Prerequisites :
Phone with Unlocked bootloader
Drivers Installed
Phone Charged to 50%
Phone having Nougat Soak Test
mfastboot and adb
How To :
First Setup adb and Fastboot , by extracting the mfastboot-v2 file in the C:\ directory. So that the files are in a folder in the C directory. Ill name this folder as adb.
Download the correct firmware(Stock Marshmallow) for your device , I have links to all down below.
Extract the firmware files in the same adb folder.
Download the run.bat file . Link below
copy the run.bat file inside the adb folder
Open your phone in bootloader mode by first turning off your phone. Then pressing and holding power and volume down at the same time for around 3 seconds.
Connect your phone to your computer via a usb cable
Double click and run the run.bat file.
After the window closes. Start the phone by selecting the start option in the bootloader mode.
Tap the power button to start.
That's it Now you have successfully downgraded to Marshmallow.

[EDIT] Noo, but i really have no idea why people lock bootloaders after unlocking them.
Sorry for the wrong information, i locked my bootloader on the nougat soak test and misread your question!

Did you relock it ? I don't think it's possible if you are downgrdin from 7.0 as the booloader is upgraded

Yes this should work .
I have a locked bootloader and im on soak build NPJ25.75-2.
Do I need to unlock the bootloader to flash this new soak build. Or can I downgrade to MM without unlocking bootloader.
I dont understand that if I'm flashing official files then why do I need to unlock the bootloader.
What I want to do is to update to the lastest build of N from soak build without unlocking bootloader.

I think you'll have to flash Marshmallow as described in this thread. Then sideload the update OTA via recovery.
If anybody is unable to download from FileFactory (like me), and happen to be on the XT1643, download link for the stock ROM is available on this thread. Happy Nougat times!
it ll unlock the bootloader?
