I want to backup wife's Xperia E c1505 in order to restore part of the data to its new phone
The Phone has its bootloader is not unlockable (Bootloader unlock allowed: No)
The phone has the latest official firmware (11.3.A.2.33): non Root
FramaRoot doesn't succeed in rooting
Most of the backup application doesn't backup Data on non rooted phone
Helium lead to a phone reboot while associating with the PC
ADB Backup lead to a 41-byte backup
Has anybody any other solution to backup that phone ?
ADB Backup:

Backed up my own c1505 with firmware 11.3.A.2.23 before rooting. Probably just "user"-accesssible data, the size was 700 MB. Don't have enough info to see what went wrong with your ADB backup, I'm afraid.
To root your phone you need to downgrade to 11.3.A.0.47 using flashtool (KERNEL only), root with Framaroot, and upgrade again (kernel only). See the thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-j-e/general/how-to-root-xperia-e-update-locked-t2409525. It worked for me with 11.3.A.2.23, the post https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58185551&postcount=79 confirms it works with 11.3.A.2.33.
Probably you can backup the entire system if you've successfully rooted it, but I haven't got around to doing it yet myself.

Hi I'm new here.
My phone:
Xperia l starry black,
Model no - c2104
Build - 15.0.a.2.17 (India generic)
My question:
I'm new to the android os, only got my first android device 3 weeks before. I recently tried to root my phone. backed up my ta, partially rooted it , unlocked bootloader...and this is where I messed up. I'm unaware of the fact that you need to flash the stock Rom after bootloader unlock process or the device will get stuck at loading screen (coloured waves). So, when I came to know about it, I downloaded and accidentally flashed newest Rom a.2.17
for which there were no prerooted kernel available therefore no full root. Now my questions
1. Is there any full root method available for the latest firmware?
2. If not full root, is there any partial root method available ? keep in mind that my device bootloader was unlocked and most of the tutorials describes about partial root (with which you can't edit system files) based on locked bootloader..
3. If not above two, can I reflash the stock a.1.31 (older firmware) for which prerooted kernel was available by rachit..
I like going with 1 or 3 solutions (if they were answered)
so guys please help me..all I wanted is a full rooted phone..
Only way I've found that works for full root on .17

yes its for locked bootloader but perfectly working for me.:good:
And i hv full root access. Simple and Working Root procedure for locked bootloader.
Just use unlock root pro in your PC ... surely this should work...
Sent from my Xperia U using xda app-developers app
Just use motochooper to root. Simple as that
Sent from my C2105 using xda premium
ok im finally full rooted now ,,
what i did for the full root :
1 backed up ta
2 partially rooted with motochopper
3 unlocked the bootloader
4 flashed the new 2.17 rom (cuz stuck at the loading screen after bootloader unlock)
5 now the bootloader is unlocked. again used the motochopper, this time by doing so it will full root the phone..(i didnt use rebootpatch or anything cuz i can uninstall and edit system files n anythin and my device wont reboot at all)
So I just got my E6653 and updated it to 32.0.A.6.152 for iovyroot compatibility, but I have a couple of questions before I proceed that I'm hoping someone can answer...
I have the following battleplan:
- Backup TA with iovyroot.
- Unlock Bootloader.
- Flash Marshmallow.
- Root.
- Restore DRM features.
1. So from what I understand, once I unlocked my bootloader I can flash any (compatible) OS to my phone?
2. Once I have flashed and rooted a Marshmallow build, if I relock the bootloader and restore the TA partition, will the root be gone? Or will I be stuck in bootloop due to DM-verity?
3. Can I just use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z5/development/root-automatic-repack-stock-kernel-dm-t3301605 with my DRM key instead of restoring the TA partition for full DRM-features and retain the rooted system?
Thanks.
Be sure to backup your Ta multiple times and to copy it in various devices (hdd, USB, cloud...).
Using the Sony ric off method allows you to restore your Ta if they are placed in the same folder as the tool.
This tool should also flash supersu if in the same folder. Your kernel is modified (and couldn't be booted without patching it), and allows keeping root.
I did the steps you mentioned. I now have root with Ta
Hey guys, too much info here, I cant find what I need. How do I simply backup and root [6.0.1][D6653] Z3 - 23.5.A.1.291 ?
Thank you in advance !
If you have a TA Partition Backup you can easily unlock your bootloader, install TWRP recovery through Fastboot, install a stock rooted ROM and then Restore your previous TA Partition Backup (your bootloader will be locked again).
If you do NOT have a TA Partition Backup there are two ways: You can lose your algorithms for the camera enhancement etc etc.. OR you can downgrade to KitKat, do the Root Exploit and then upgrade to the latest FW without losing anything.
The choice's yours

Thanks, but there is no easier way to root my phone? I must unlock my bootloader? Why I need TA Partition backup? Sorry for the additional questions, but it was few good years that I didnt root my phones.
Hi,
You do not need a TA backup but it's really convenient to have. I don't know technically how it works but Sony implemented his camera, music and photo algorithms in the TA partition. If you unlock without a proper backup, you will lose these algorithms and there will be noise in the photo app. You will also lose x-reality feature and clearSound (honestly I don't remember the name).
Also, you can't restore, for example, my TA partition because each TA partition is bound to its device.
So, tell me if you care about these algorithms and we'll choose a way to proceed
Ok after your explanation, I guess I care about the algorithms. So we need to start with TA backup?

Hi,
I'm not so expert on this but I'm pretty sure that the only way you can backup TA is having a rooted Phone.
If you do not want to lose those features you need to root without unlocking the bootloader. That's because, I could be wrong, but the TA partition is part of the bootloader. So if you unlock it naturally TA will be re-written and you will lose these features..
So you need to root WITHOUT UNLOCKING THE BOOTLOADER. To do this, you need to downgrade to KitKat with the Sony Flash tools (Sony lets you flash their ROMs without troubles) and then, on 4.4, you should use the Root Exploit (it should be this but i'm not sure because I rooted two years ago, http://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/giefroot-rooting-tool-cve-2014-4322-t3011598 ).
After that you will install TWRP Recovery, backup your TA partition using the tool on this site*, and flash the latest Sony Rom Pre-rooted.
*since you already rooted you do not need to backup the partition, but for safety purpose you should do it and put it on online storage website (Dropbox, Google Drive, etc..) and obviously on your Computer.
That's all, I advice you that you could wait someone's else explanation because I'm really no expert on this.

Hi. I had rooted my E6603 some time ago using this method: http://twigstechtips.blogspot.ch/2016/04/sony-z5-compact-root-without-losing-ta.html?m1 so I didn't loose the DRM functions. It did work, but then I noticed the "fingerprint hardware not available" bug, which was fixed by renaming some system files.
Now my problem is that I don't want root anymore, so I made a clean installation of the newest .305 firmware. It was working fine, but I realized the DRM functions were lost, which I think is what's supposed to happen since the bootloader is unlocked in the rooting status info. I tried to restore the TA partition by simply flashing the backup through Flashtool, but it didn't work. Now, in rooting status, it says "unknown", not even "bootloader unlocked" or "bootloader unlock allowed: Yes".
What should I do? I want the DRM functions back without having my phone rooted. Can I root, restore them, change the name of the files necessary for the "fingerprint hardware" fix and then unroot my phone?
you need to downgrade to the LP version you made the DRM backup from, and then use the same tool you backed up with to restore the ta partition...
a detailed simple instruction is available at iovyroot main thread.
is there a way to have a stock kernel without root but with DRM fix? as I plan to go systemless but I can't properly work it out as supersu can't be remove
Is it possible to root this phone WITHOUT unlocking the bootloader and having all of the data wiped out? I just want to backup everything, but can't do it without root access. It wouldn't make sense to me to root it only to find that everything I wanted to backup is gone. Thanks.
