Rebooting Fixed!

You should downgrade to .434 and follow this guide, but you can try "Flashable ROM Mutator" . Good luck

Rebooting Fixed!

If someone else is facing the same problem, I fixed rebooting issue while writing to system following this guide, thanks to the user [NUT]:

[XZDualRecovery][v2.3 RELEASE] cwm 6.0.3.2 & twrp 2.5.0.0 [locked bootloader]


CWM Usage warning: Root can be lost (almost worst case), a bootloop can be experienced (worst case) or a reboot upon remounting /system to be able to write to it (most cases, relatively harmless) when using CWM and before a reboot out of recovery answering the question 'ROM may flash recovery, fix it?' question is answered with 'yes'. This can be recovered from by opening a terminal app and typing the following commands:
Code:

su
/system/bin/stop ric
mount -o remount,rw /system
chmod 755 /system/etc/install-recovery.sh

Alternatively you can boot in to TWRP and go to the Advanced menu -> File manager and look for /system/etc/install-recovery.sh to set permissions 755 on it.

If it vibrated, then there's still hope! Looks like you've just soft-bricked it :good:

omfg! i upraded via PC companion yesterday because could wait for the update, via OTA it had always error and i did not saw this POST! :crying::crying:

I dont wanna start downgrading again..
Its 100% safe not to loose the data makin it this way?

I found out downgrading to 434 did the bootloop for me (reflashing wasn't fixing it)
i had the NFC upgrade thing, then a reboot for ever...I see quite a lot of people having the same behaviour.

fixed it by flashing AND wipe out Data...something I didn't wanted to do, it was the only solution

so better full backup before (with pc companion for exemple)

Sony- likes to complicate

sony wants to be like Apple and patches new firmwares and they are wery careful what they use, it will be heavy to folow their patches in the future
and beware remember what happened to geohot

Why don't you just try the app (for PC) called Kingo Android Root? Worked for me

This thread was created almost 5 months ago. Long before this Kingo app was around, I believe. There was no need to bump this very old thread on how to root a firmware version that is 2-3 versions out of date.
This sort of thing is leading me to become rather suspicious of this Kingo app. Nobody knows what exploit it uses or what it injects along with the su binary and SuperSu app. There seems to be an absence of any information on this on the website for the app. Lots of accounts with low post counts are also promoting it here on XDA.
It's not something I would personally trust, at least until somebody that's known to be trustworthy like DooMLoRD looks at how it works.
