If you root LP like this, did you still have sony xperia splash screen on booting or not? i root mine via flashing boot.img with recovery and than flashing su.zip and lolipop kernel back.. But now i have boot animation but i do not have splash screen before animation?

Yes, the splash screen works this way. Everything else is the same, including the system R/W issue.

hello
thanks for your informative threads
I'm trying to root a t2 ultra single sim.
starting from scratch, I find your threads very helpful.

can you explain how to extract a kernel tft from an entire tft bundle created with flashtool / decrypt / create?
I can't use the ones you posted as I need the ones for the single sim version.
I created the tft files from experifilm (except the 4.4.2 wich is not on the server anymore, got it off the web)

thanks!

Bro if we flash again the system means we will lost root man....

my friend follow guide u will have R/RW rights

 

[dubmehard]

open ftf using rar and u will find kernel.sin

that is your kernel

thanks, great.

I'm asking because I'm following your previous guide for 4.4.3

from the guide, point 4
4. now open flash tool and hit flash button and select 4.4.2.ftf press ok and wait for notification which says connect phone

is ok if I select the whole tft file and in the "EXCLUDE" section of flashtool I exclude ALL except the kernel?
is the same than flashing the single kernel.sin?

because I can't flash the single kernel.sin from flashtool... maybe I just don't know how to do it, yet..

thanks again for your reply, very helpful!

getting Could not sign zip Error

 

[hamid_nazari]

Very nice and clean guide, thanks bro.

 

[chauhanjayc]

need help
getting Could not sign zip Error

you can use unsigned zip no problem

also if i am not wrong either name of your supersu zip is changed or you are using very old version
so use newer one that might be an issue

 

[lostfurby]

Thanks a lot (Y)
It works without any issue.
