No you don't need to run the dualrecovery script now you are rooted

try this link for the 757 FTF https://mega.co.nz/#!9Q4SSAoR!jz6BQ89kt8IQtoBlcBKUyVtt76izzTTUz2X1Ruy_gjA if that doesn't work have a search around the forum, doesn't really matter what country version you use

Thanks Blue,

You have been an utter star and your constant support has been utterly appreciated!!!!

Everything has gone through smoothly and Kernel/TFT/SuperSU is all on and my sim/imei has kicked back into life :)

Thank you for your time and guidance!!!

    Well am confused and lost atm.

    Point 2 and Point 6 to me, are they not the same thing?

    Trying to carry out Point 2, I cant get any of the software it seems as I cant get the links to work :(

    So atm I have a phone working but telling me my sim is "invalid card - no service" currently

    Any help for links to the Nuts, or Binary software would be grateful

    the sim/imei problem shouldn't have happened if you followed my guide, but dont worry, it will come back after step 4
    for step to use http://nut.xperia-files.com/?dlid=WlUtbG9ja2VkZHVhbHJlY292ZXJ5Mi43LjEyMy1CRVRBLmluc3RhbGxlci56aXA= from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2647492 and follow the instructions in post 2

    Step 2 is only so we can get a backup of the TA so that it is safe to unlock the bootloader

    Step 4 when you update to the latest FTF you will lose root

    Step 5 will allow you to get root any time you want without having to do the downgrade dance

    Step 6 is needed because the stock kernel wont keep write access to the system. This step also re-installs recovery so that you can flash the superSU update binary

    Hi Blue,

    Feel like am getting my self further and further into the **** with this :(

    I was able to find bin4ries tool after searching on the net for awhile, and used that as advised, which has worked and didn't seem to be a problem, the SU appeared etc.

    I then did the Backup which again has gone fine.

    I updated what I thought was the latest TFT C6833_14.1.b.2.257_euro-lte.ftf from one of the links but looking at the phones version am still showing 532

    That's the stage am at with still the sim/imei issue :(

    I have downloaded the link you have provided for the lockeddualrecovery looking at it, I get options to

    1. installation on ROM rooted with SuperSU
    2. "" "" " with SUperUser
    3. installation on unrooted ROM
    4. exit

    at this stage am not sure what to do, as I thought getting all the other steps completed now would have solved this.

    Think am starting to regretting trying this :( and feeling like a total tool!

    OK so you are past step 3 now and you have a rooted phone with a backed up TA partition.

    Step 4
    You will want to flash https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B51NBUj0yr7FNmtzWlhrT2JaOU0&export=download with the lates flashtool from https://unrestrict.li/flashtool instructions are in LordManhattan's guide I think

    Step 5
    Unlock the bootloader - see LordManhattan's guide again

    Step 6
    Follow the steps in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2714511

    Yeah, I'm not surprised by this at all; and welcome! You have to downgrade to 532 using Flashtool, then root, and then backup the TA partition. You're free to upgrade to 757 again after that, unlock your bootloader and root 757.
