[Stock Rom][LB/UB] Xperia ZR 4.3 10.4.B.0.101 INDIAN Pre-Rooted Flashable Zip & Dual Recovery [Indian Variant]

Before we begin, you must agree that I'll be not held responsible if anything goes wrong or your phone gets bricked or lightning strikes it while following this guide. You try this guide at your own risk. This guide has been personally built and tested by me on my own Xperia ZR phone and works great without any issues. Make sure you read the instructions very carefully before you start.


Hello everyone, this is a pre-rooted flashable zip containing stock 4.3 rom of build number 10.4.B.0.101 built for Xperia ZR phone user's in INDIA.

This rom is rooted. Has no bugs except Sony's official 4.3 bugs. This rom is not modified in any way and nothing has been added or deleted. This is a pure stock rom with the additional privilege of Root access & Dual Recovery.

Download Mirror via MEGA File Storage

C5502_4.3_Stock_INDIAN_Pre-Rooted.zip

C5502_10.4.B.0.569_Generic_IN.ftf


Note for Downloading Files:

When downloading from Box Secure Storage, use the Download button on the top left side of the page. It will download the entire folder in a compressed zipped file. When finished downloading, extract the zip file and use the hjsplit software to join the .001 extension files into a single flashable zip file.

If downloading from MEGA use a chrome or firefox browser. Hit the red coloured "Download to your Computer" button. Starting the download progress takes a minute or two. When the download is finished, you'll find the zip file in the default "Downloads" folder in windows. Sometimes, the file might have a ".partial" extension even when the download is completed 100%. Just change the .partial extension to ".zip" and you're good to go.

Let me know if any other problems come up.


Please Note:

# If anything goes wrong in the above steps, then flash your own .ftf file using flashtool to boot into a fresh stock rom and restart the procedure again.

# Your data will be lost. So back it up. (I recommend a fresh start from scratch)

# Do not update busybox at any cost otherwise you'll loose root and recovery privileges.

I'm assuming I can flash the russion stock ftf file instead while using your pre-root zip? Do I need to flash the su fix?

Yes, you can flash any ftf but make sure you exclude system. Also, NO super user fix required. Although updating the super su user to its latest version from playstore is recommended.

Have fun.

Sir,

Follow all your procedure, however super su is not working in my ZR. Please see attachment.

Edit - i just re-root it back in recovery and it fixed.

Good to know, but for information, did you wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik and choose option "Clean to install a new rom" in the recovery before flashing rom?. Also, did you flash any other zip after flashing the rom?. Did you update busybox?.

I'm using the same rom without any super su user issues.

grizzlyspid86 said:

Ahh damn. Forget to wipe those before flashing. Still work though. Hahaha is there any effects?

This is really heavy work and thanks for your efforts.

I am improving my knowledge slowly from the last thread onwards

1. Shall I take it the advice NOT to update BusyBox stands cancelled for this? It is not specifically mentioned unlike your previous thread hence the doubt.

2. What if Sony decides to roll-out some software update for a component such as Album? Will I be able to download and install that as usual? And about future official ROM updates by Sony say to KitKat. Will it be upgradable (even if I lose root) in place or will I have to reset the phone? I am thinking that individual software updates should work but whole system upgrade may cause problems.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention about busybox. Thanks for reminding.

Don't worry, you'll get all updates from sony. As I said, this rom is pure stock rom with the additional benefit of root access and recovery.

Don't know about future upgrades from sony as of yet. But yes, you'll loose root access but you can always look up on xda for my thread to root it back again.

Cheers,
Ralf

So have fun!!

Wait, did you install that cwm recovery after flashing my zip?. Please don't do that. You'll get bootloops. I've already included the recovery in the flashable zip file. Just follow the instructions carefully.

Let me know if you run into any problems.

Regards,
Ralf.

no..
i installed recovery and root on my stock 4.2.2, after that i installed your indian pre-rooted zip, when its finished i flash with flashtool your stock indian ftf
and then i was unsecure cause the reboot take longer as 10 minutes!
and now...im realy happy!

By reboot take longer, you mean the first boot after flashing a new rom?. It roughly takes 4 to 6 minutes. 10 minutes seems pretty long. Never happened to any of us. Anyways, I'm glad you made it work. But, if it really took 10 minutes then I suggest you do a factory reset without your sim card and memory card inserted in the phone. Also, choose erase internal storage option at the bottom in the factory reset menu. This will rule out any issues or problems.

Cheers.

i installed recovery and root on my stock 4.2.2, after that i installed your indian pre-rooted zip,then supersu update......
but i cant turn my phone off!!!!!!!!! in cwm is no button to turn off, only reboot etc. so i put my accu away.
then i put it on, but dont turn on my phone.
start flashtool > select your ftf > press volume down and put it on pc > flash with flashtool your stock indian ftf with "execute system"
and then i was unsecure cause the reboot take longer as 10 minutes!
and now...im realy happy!
i must install cwm on 4.2.2 before to install your zip..or?

Always install the newest recovery available for Xperia ZR at this thread - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2261606

The recovery which you installed was very old and it doesn't have power off option.

Cheers,
Ralf.
