If you want to keep drm and bravia backup TA partition before flashing that kernel. You can restore TA after that and get rooted 253 with bravia and drm.
At least that's what I read somewhere on.xda....

If u have unlocked ur bootloader just download kernel from this link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2230826 follow instruction as stated. Boot ur phone to recovery then select reboot, then it will request u to root.

thank you for reply
but I still confused the link u show me is for kernel
is that include root and recovery in the zip?

Yes, I dont how doomlord do that. Here my story, I have flash .253 stock ftf and booted fine without root gain, then because of my hand itchy to try doomkernel, I flash the boot.img via flashtool (becoz stock kernel dont have recovery) then I enter recovery to ensure I successfully flash the boot.img file, upon rebooting it request to root ur phone.

But when I enter the recovery there are some error can not mount cache blablabla, I solve it by reflashing the stock. 253 xcluding kernel.

Yup, it includes both CMW recovery and root. The first time you put the boot.img using fastboot, during boot you need to enter recovery by pressing volume up button when DooMLoRD logo shows up, when you exit it will ask to root and just select yes. You should be rooted then

How do I do that back up. I was running 253 rooted, but I losted drm and Bravia, so I moved back to 453.
I read something about that backup too, but did not said how to do that.
Do you know how?
Thanks a lot.

Ok. Founded how to backup TA.

I try to enter flashBoot model
I press volume up and connect usb with pc
but phone led light just got red and gone then no green light or some other color appear(I think when u in flashboot model there should be green light).
I think there is something wrong with it I can't enter fastboot model

edit:done I rooted using doomlord kernel

Did you unlocked your bootloader?

Yes

 

[Rodrigo Vilhena]

Yes

Have you backup the TA partition?
Because I was reading and the method I founded, you need to be rooted to backup, and on FW 253, need to unolck BL to root.
So I don't think will be possible to do the Backup.
Here in Brazil, we did not have the 253 released, but I'll use the MEA 253 released.
I backup my TA from 434, and I'm thinking to restore that bckup on 253, what do you think?
Thanks a lot.
Edit:
One more question, you received update OTA, or get it on XDA like me?
I'd like to know if rootkeeper works here.
Some one have tested that?
Thanks.

I didn't backup my TA.and as I said I unlock bl so I can't get ota or via pc

Root the .434 using bin4ry's method and then download app called OTA Rootkeeper and do the OTA update. Should retain Root with no Issue and with the stock firmware.
