Hello guys,

no
I am interested in data recovery plan , but i don' t like the root program
Any Sony smartphone with unlocked bootloader won't get OTA update. Not even with Xperia Companion.

Probably never, because it's easier to downgrade, root, install recovery and flash a prerooted lollipop rom than to try and find another exploit in lollipop

Never? I just did root with a custom kernel which included TWRP, and from TWRP I flashed SuperSU update the latest version, and voila.,.rooted and Xposed working.
By the way, I managed to fix the issues, it was not because the Xposed was in alpha stage, because that is the only Xposed for Lollipop, it was because I had an old TWRP.
So now I am rooted and all working good.
So you can root Lollipop without downgrading or flashing a ftf.
P.S. Ofcourse, with an unlocked bootloader.
Even if the downside of unlocking is losing the DRM Keys, well don't worry about it, the camera takes beautiful photos even so.
as you said you have to unlock the bootloader for that, not everyone wants to do that
Yes, as the op used pccompanion they obviously had a locked bootloader, hence my answer based on the fact he had a locked bootloader
Hi all,
I have a rooted Z3 with dual recovery and locked bootloader running firmware 23.1.A.0.690.
Since the OTA to firmware 23.1.A.1.28 is minor, I was wondering if it is possible to flash an update zip file while keeping root and modified recovery.
any idea ?
thanks

Modified bootloader? Do you mean unlocked? If so then you cannot do OTA, is says so explicitly on the Sony site about unlocked bootloaders. But you can make a backup in recovery, flash a stock FTF of that version (System only) then just flash back your custom kernel (Before booting the phone) and restore data from a backup
If you mean locked bootloader then you can OTA, if its a small update then the chances are it wont format system so you will keep root, but if its a large file the chances are it will format system then re-install it so you will lose root.
Just flash a pre-rooted version of the updated ROM in recovery
Sorry, i meant keeping root and modified recovery (not bootloader).
My bootloader is locked indeed and i am on stock kernel.
So, to your point, i should be safe upgrading minor OTAs?
If so can I anticipate sony's rollout of the OTA and flash the update zip? And where can it be found?
Thx

Maybe.... it all depends on whether or not the OTA formats system and reinstalls it. If it a minor update they may not do that so root and recovery (Which is in system for locked bootloaders) are not deleted.
Its a gamble...
to be 100% safe, you will need to get a prerooted flashable zip and flash it
Hmmm... Ok, but upgrading with a prerooted zip involves flashing a full rom not just the update right?
I am ok with that but would rather save the hassle.
Thanks for the advise
Hi,
Happy to report back that OTA process went smooth.
I am now running 23.1.A.1.28 and still have full root & dual recovery!

Benjieb,
Sorry friend but it was not clear to me... you updated via OTA and keep the root?
Yes that's right. I fixed the typo in my last post.

How do you do it? I mean,you were stock .690 berofe ota?you delete anything of stocks apps??because i test to do the ota update but at the end of processus it's says "verrification impossible" and i saw somewhere that's if we touch or delete stock apps we can't ota ....ans if possible,nobody van do a flashable ZIP with just ota update????
I was stock indeed, and you are right playing with system apps probably prevent OTAs.
That's why I deactivate system apps rather then delete them.
I guess you will have to do a full rom flash.
I'm on stock ROM rooted. Updated to. 28 via OTA just only. Root access still available!!

Hi friends,
So the situation is that I want to update my Sony Xperia Z3 from v5.0.2 to the latest version of Android, my phone is rooted via KingRoot, and I can't seem to get the latest update because everytime I do, TWRP always shows up when my phone is rebooting. I do not know how to remove TWRP, will I have to unroot my phone and then update to the latest version? Or is there a way to remove TWRP?
I appreciate you guys to help me out on this one
Thanks!

If you haven't unlocked bootloader, you can use xperia companion on PC It will install newest software from scrach. Or just flash prerooted zip from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/general/d6603-5-0-2-flashable-stock-23-1-0-690-t3056361

Hi Nojus,
When you say it will install the newest software from scratch, will it remove all my files or will it just install the new software?
Thanks man!

I'm not sure but I think it wipes data, so you should backup it somewhere safe.

YES,
if you downgrade zperia x5 and flash pre rooted android 5.1.1 then it is possible
however pre rooted version were created by using prf creators which couldn't support android 6.x.x and later.
p/s I never tried pre rooted xperia stockrom
also if you don't want to use prerooted stockrom of android 5.1.
simply try rooting it with kingroot.
till android 5.1, kingroot were able to find xploit in the system

Thank you.
But as i understanded , this create a rom as a zip file , so it will need recovery to be flashed.
And you can't install the recovery until your phone is rooted or unlocked bootloader.
So you can't root without unlocking the bootloader.
So do you mean that first i need to root my device with an old software , then update to pre rooted software via recovery?
If yes , then please let me know how to root old software and which version.

again now we have go back in times where xploits were available, during kitkat days everyone had rooted phones since android was not using dmvarity. you could root kitkat easily on locked bootloader and have XDR installed while running andoir 4.4.4 ( i did with my C6602) once you had XDR install (xperia dual recovery) you can reboot your mobile into recovery and can flash pre rooted LP.
now this is GOOD for old days and for information
for you xperia z5 never actually landed on kitkat and LP can be rooted via kingroot. so you will be only able to use rooted z5 on LP only~!
if you wana install prerooted rom without kingroot you will have to first root running LP via kingroot, install xdr and flash again LP (clean flashing)
so on looked bootloader you dn't have much options!

How to install recovery after kingroot then? Thanks
How can I get new update after rooting my phone ? i've got 33.2.A.3.81 on F3111, and in phone info is said that i've got latest.
For rooting xperia xa you first need to unlock boot loader so you can download updates but you cant install them with pcc or ota.you can flash updated rom that is rooted or that can be rooted, and use rom manager to flash that befor doing it make sure you use the right rom, otherwise you brick your Android device.
Any way see tihis site

Hi, you can use Flashtool to update your device after root and use the included Xperifirm to download the firmware.
How to relock bootloader on Xperia XA (F3111) so that I can receive OTA updates ?
I tried this code the other day and it executed just fine but then my phone was bricked :S
