How do I update from a rooted nougat build 0.372 with patched kernel to the newest update 2.33? What are the manual steps I have to follow, thanks in advance
since bootloader is unlocked OTA may not come to you
you have to download the full rom by flashtool and then flash it in flashmode
some time back a user asking for singapore rom, i replied short tutorial for him
see this
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71394777&postcount=3
for him the device was z5p SATSUKI
but for you i should be z5 SUMIRE
Thanks for the quick reply. In fact, I DID get the OTA notification, but after downloading when i try to install, it reboots and then gives me an error msg saying that soemthing went wrong. I suppose this won't happen when I manually flash it with flashtool?
Just in case u have bandwidth problem or don't want to download 2.8 gig, u can relock your bl (make sure restore your special ta, dont restore some one else or facing hard break) after relock your phone won't boot up, its soft break,so just flash a previous ftf file and let it update,for later ftf it is about 187 mg, for older android N it may a little more but remember this method just work if u have an old Nougat, not for mm or older one.
After update just unlock bl again and flash the kernel if u want root,striped kernel of 32.3.a.2 are available in some thread just search.
Or just download the new ftf and flash

Hello Guys.. since I'm a nexus 4 user before...not familiar with this new phone want to ask if using Giefroot and successfully root my phone Can I still do a system update specially when lollipop comes..without any issues? my rooting purpose: just want to install root apps like titanium back up to uninstall bloatwares, greenify without xposed installer...
You will be notified by update center when Lollipop update is available even if your device is rooted or not, but not sure about if you will be able to install the system update or not.
I had seen some rooted devices could download the OTA but failed to install the update.
But there's nothing to worry since you can always flash the ftf file via flashtool, without wiping any of your data..

Yes, someone will make and upload an FTF.
In an extreme circumstance it may need Flashtool to be updated, but Androxyde will do that and push another version.
In the meantime, you can always relock your bootloader and use PCComapnion to update officially, then unlock the boot again
You can also use Xperiafirm to dowload the ftf files.

Doesn't the root process require downgrading though? So it'd make updating through PCCompanion redundant.

Not really, if you have an unlocked bootloader you can relock, upgrade, unlock, flash an insecure kernel**, flash SuperSU and you are done. no need to downgrade, that's a locked bootloader method.
**Someone will upload an advanced stock kernel within minutes of it hitting our devices, its not much of a tweak to make it insecure
(Just changing a 1 to a 0 in the right place)
Hell, they may even throw in recovery in a couple of minutes as well....
Yes but I was replying in the context of the OP who said 'using giefroot' so I assume it's the locked bootloader method he is asking about.
Hello !
I recently bought a used Z3 6603, and wanted to update it to lollipop.
But it seems it has a unlocked bootloader (according to service menu) and when i recieved it, it was factory reset, but some 3rd party apps were still installed.
One of them Super SU, so it was rooted.
I was told that i could update the firmware if i just used the Full Uninstall feature in Super Su, so i did that.
I still can't update using sony companion, becouse it knows the software is not the original one.
And i cant reinstall super su, its saying that there is no SU binary installed and the program cant install it.
I have flashed phones before, but it was really a long time ago, so im asking for some help to fix this.
Its running 4.4.4 build 23.0.1.A.5.77 and stock rom i think.
Please tell me what to do, and what info you might need !
I want to have the phone in lollipop, but everything stock, no root, no bootloader etc.
And somewhere I read something about DRM keys. Please help me with fixing that aswell thank you.

Your DRM keys are lost forever.

Ok, so they are lost even if I use the first backup that was made by the person I bought it from ?
DRM=Hardcoded=Once unlocked, always DRM free, even if you use the recovery image ?
And the rest of the questions, what am I supposed to do to get stock lollipop?
In the matter of fact it does not matter if its unlocked or locked, I just want legit lollipop, with the possibility to update regularly. (But if root is possible at the same, it can still be rooted)
Thanks for your reply !
You need the TA backup. Not system backup.
And careful not to restore some other TA.
If the previous owner backed up TA, good. If not, no chance to recover them.
Download your specific firmware in ftf format and flash it with Flashtool.
Make a clean install.
You cannot recieve OTA with an unlocked bootloader, only if you relock, but there is no point in doing that if the DRM keys are lost.
So, from where you stand, keep it rooted and unlocked, because you can do much more with it : Custom ROM' s [at the moment stock is best]...custom kernels with recovery...mods...etc.
After you flash the ftf, flash via adb a custom kernel with recovery and from recovery flash SuperSU update, as a flashable zip, that will root the phone and install SuperSU.Search also for busybox flashable zip.

Ok, I will try that then, but if I use flashtool to update to lollipop, will I still be able to root easy, or should I reinstall 4.4.4 clean, then root, fix recovery kernel and everything, and then lollipop or what goes first?
Does flash/kernel etc affect the fact that it has an unlocked bootloader ? do i need to do anything with that, or do it stay unlocked?

If you have unlocked the bootloader it is always a trivial matter to root.
Just flash an insecure kernel.
If one does not exist use [NUT]'s online kernel builder to make one with recovery incorporated in it. Its very straightforward and an automated process.
So, update using flashtool, flash your custom kernel, and you have root and recovery.

1. Sorry for my noobish question, but define insecure kernel?
2. Did I get it right? I read about ppl downgrading their phones to 4.4.4 and then installing stuff. And for me it does not matter wich version it is, becouse the unlocked bootloader makes it easy to flash, even what version you are running?

1) a rooted kernel.
2) If you have unlocked there is no need to follow any of the locked bootloader guides, they are a waste of your time. One of the points point of unlocking the phone is to easily get root. You just flash a custom kernel to gain root.
If you have a locked bootloader then you have to go through all the fuss of downgrading etc etc.... but with an unlocked bootloader its so easy and straightforward

Hi!
In february I unlocked by bootloader and rooted my Z5 following thsi guide.
As you can see on the screenshots I am on version 32.0.A.6.200.
My phone is branded by the "Deutsche Telekom".
Now I have seen (in XperiFirm) that there is a version "Telekom.de DE 32.1.A.1.185" available.
I cannot figure out how to update an already unlocked/rooted device with stock rom to the newest firmware without loosing the root/unlock status and without wiping all the data.

yuo can update with flashtool but you have to root again flashing a recovery and flashing supersu after that another way will be a flasheable zip but i think even you have to flash the kernel with flashtool.
if you don´t want wipe anything ensure unchek all marks on wipes part in flashtool.
This week sony release the new upgrade build for MarshMallow 32.2.A.0.224. I am currently using build 32.1.A.1.185 with ROOT ACCESS which I did using this ROOTING GUIDE for XPERIA Z5
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z5/general/guide-rooting-unlocking-bootloader-t3354307
I have read here in on this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/z5-compact/general/root-partially-upgrade-to-32-2-0-224-t3391235 , that one of the guys upgraded to this new build without loosing ROOT ACCESS to his Z5. All I wanted to ask should I continue like him Upgrading from my PC/PHONE to the new build without loosing root access or is there going to be some long lengthy UPGRADING GUIDE for this new Z5 Build.?:silly::crying::cyclops:
It's easy. Why don't you just flash your Firmware and your Kernel with Recovery again and install SuperSu again? Or you might try FlashFire by Chainfire

But what do you mean by Flashing and kernel with Recovery?:crying::silly: I mean I know about Flashing and all this recovery stuff. But please can you elaborate further on what you said ? I will be thankful to you
Well, you do almost exactly the same as in the guide, but you leave out the drm backup Part (not the restore part) and you dont use the firmware version in your guide, you use the newest one avaliable which you can download with xperifirm

Ahan .. Got it .... :good::silly: .. Did you try this method? Maybe the newer build might have some kind of security feature that this old guide will fail to address and thus ending up with NON-ROOTED Upgraded MarshMallow. I am optimistic about the return of Sony' STAMINA MODE. Thats why I want to upgrada ASAP because this current DOZE MODE of MM itself is sucker and doesnt deliver as it is advertised
I think what ali112 said makes sense, the only question I have is wouldn't we require an updated version of the kernel too?
This hasn't been updated yet: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...-twrp3-0-z5-adv-stock-kernel-2016-03-t3333829
And from what I see, this one had a SIM detection error (haven't tried it myself): http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z5/development/32-2-0-224-ftf-rootable-kernel-t3391071/page4

It's easy to upgrade, download the latest . ftf extract the kernel and prepair it as before, flash the new .ftf with flashtool without wiping any, then flash the new prepaired kernel with fastboot.
This worked for me
/MKL
Yes, MKL is right. Mantis is right. I havent read the whole guide, I thought it includes the extraction of the kernel and patching it. Alternatively you could use AndroPlus Kernel v31 or higher
Don't be too exciting for stamina mode. It is really bad... I mean it disables all animations....
hello everyone,
i have S8+ with android 7 installed, not rooted and still didnt get any OTA for either oreo or Pie, so i decided to do it manually but i wanna make sure of the steps since it's been a while for me not flashing anything.
first thing i should know is that this update is going to wipe my phone due to the bootloader update
and about that bootloader update, should i flash pie bootloader first or just flash a stock ROM with odin that includes bootloader file ?
any help with this issue is much appreciated

If you are going to update with Odin flash full firmware. ( 4 files )
As for wiping your phone when you unzip the downloaded firmware there will be 2 CSC files.
CSC - Clean install will wipe your data ( same as factory reset )
Home CSC - Dirty install should keep your data
Always do a backup before doing anything.
Note: Make sure after you upgrade your firmware to update your apps so that they will be comparable with new firmware.
