[GUIDE] [ROOT] Xperia ZL .2.67 fw using DooMLoRD Rooting Kit

[sanjulgupta]

I can only press it once I'm afraid

Oh sorry I didnt notice

 

[Darkfunnyguy]

I tried install the .67 but say it flashed I still get the .244 in settings about phones and I still get the .67 update over OTa listed in my notification bar so why has it not worked and I also tried to install OTA as well but did not work as well why?

Sorry I realised I need to go back and flash the .423 then flash .67 as I am on .244 so hopefully it should work this time so forget my question above.

First flash the complete .2.67 ftf

Then flash kernel only of. 423
Then root
Then again flash kernel only file for .2.67
Done

ROOT Done what Next??
After rooting what advantages can we have
See what I tried

1. Decreasing NavBar size to 36dpi using @hellvy MOD

2. Add permanent 5 buttons to NavBar (Power, Back, Home, Recent Apps, Menu) using @olahoma MOD

3. Change system fonts just for fun using @Ravensystem GUIDE



Thanx to all people mentioned above for creating and sharing amazing things

Yes ofcourse

Will flashing kernel wipe everything?

Will flashing the kernel wipe all the data ? If yes, how can i backup my phone data and restore the same?

Rooting c5606

Can it work with C5606?
When I download 2.67 ftf, it shows C5602. I just wonder it works?
Or please point out where I can download 2.67 ftf for C5606.
Thanks in advanced.

Scared, bricked previous phone

Hi guys,
Just so you know, I bricked one C6506 already trying this, it's a good thing the warranty was still up.
It happened after flashing the kernel for 423, it never booted again.

I have a question. I see that "partition-image.sin" is still selected after un-checking all wipes and checking all exclusions, except kernel.

I don't dare flash it until I am sure this is correct. Also, before flashing the kernel and loader, should I be on debug mode or not?

Thanks guys.

I know you'll understand me freaking out after one device has been hard bricked already.

The files posted here are for C6502
Try with FTF images for .423 & .2.67 for C6506 and this method should work perfectly

Thanks bro.

Now, about the debug mode when flashing kernels, should I have it in debug or not?

Thanks.

Thanks.

It doesnt matters
Debugging along unknown sources should be ON while rooting

I just realized that your earlier phone didnt boot after flashing 423 kernel you cud hv simply flashed a complete ftf package for your device it would have easily worked
