Hello Guys,

I just received my sony Z from Sony Service center and they updated my phone to the original 10.4.B.0.569 and ofcourse I lost root,CWM and all else.

I connected my phone to the Sony Companion and it updated to stock 10.4.1.B.0.101, now how do I root it and install the cwm aswell?

help will be much appreciated.

First, there is no requirement for creating another thread for this question.

Second, there is no direct root as of now for 4.3. You need to flash pre-rooted system to keep your root.

apologies for creating another thread, and thanks for the reply.

so in other words downgrade to a .67 for example and root then upgrade either to stock new update or install a custom rom with the update right? and it will keep root and recovery?

@ ahassouna, How did you manage to downgrade? I tried to flash .67 from the flashtool and then my phone just keeps restarting. I did wipe the apps log, cache & data. Still no luck. Could you let me know any other way how you could achieve this?

I had a bootloop too when downgraded from 4.3 to 4.2 that i solved by doing a wipe data when flashing the 4.2 rom. I think you have to do a fresh install when you downgrade in order to avoid bootloops

Ok sorry guys didnt reply earlier.
Here is what i did
1- upgraded to 101
2- used flash tool and flashed the .67 stock on a clean stock 101 with wiped data...etc.
3- rooted and installed cwm dual recovery and booted device
4- flashed exsitenz v6 and its important not to boot rom just shut down from recovery
5- while shut down, flash the 101 kernel (stock kernel as am on LB) then boot.

Evweything is working great now.

You have a unlocked bootloader, right?

i downgrade with flashtool

dudes, I did the downgrade (4.3 > 4.2) :cool: using flashtool, you have to find&download C6602_10.3.1.A.2.67_India Generic.ftf, and it's done...:good:

btw you can root 4.2.2 using kingo andorid root, with lb, and later wait for ota (twice, until .101), it's pretty easy but you need some patience :cowboy:
