[ROM][C530X][LB/UBL][SU] Pre-Rooted Stock 266 Firmware

[mrjraider]

Pre-Rooted Stock Firmware​

Goodevening everybody,

Many of us love root but want to stay stock (like me) well. By following this guide: link ©quetzalcoatl2435. I was able to pre-root Stock Central Europe 1.
This thread is made with only one purpose: To share it!

If you want me to make one of your own choosing (branded, unbranded, generic etc) give me a call + download link for your ftf file and I'm good to go. Or follow the guide I linked to!

Details of all the pre-rooted ROMS I've made:

1. Fully stock
2. No bloatware removed or added (you can do this yourself now)
3. Still Odex
4. No CWM after flashing but you should be able to install it again

REQUIREMENTS

• CWM (downgrade to 4.1.2 root it and install CWM)
• This SU zip Link
• This Kernel File Link
• Flashtool
• Patience

STEPS:

1. Download the .zip file (see downloads)
2. Put the pre rooted firmware + SU zip into your internal SD
3. Flash both files and turn the phone off
4. Open flashtool into flashmode
5. Flash 266 kernel
6. Reboot device
7. Done

If you want to have a custom Recovery you could try to flash the following zip:
- Download: Dev Host


DOWNLOADS

SCREENS:

Thanks

I share Central Europe 1 .266

 

[mrjraider]

Mirrors will come in handy.. As Google Drive is slow and I dont have or use mediafire/devhost.

Has someone bootlop? I have "SONY" again and again...

 

[mrjraider]

No it is running fine here. You did flash the kernel after flashing the rom itself?

 

[sshadi]

Yes i did. I followed the instriction. I'll try once again tomorrow. How log Xperia is starting after flash? Maybe I waited too short. I have logo SONY which is dissapearing and showing again.

 

[mrjraider]

Well it is weird actually since I have it fully booting etc.
You can try a few things:
- Redownload and reflash
- Reflash
- update to 266 downgrade and try again

Finaly i flashed rom. Everything was allright until I try use titanum backup.IT says theres no root access. I checked supersu (the same about no root) and root checker. I Think root dissapeared after flash 266 kernel only. I have no idea, IT is to much for me.

 

[sp4ubw]

Everything works fine, SU too. Thanks.

wipe?

Do I have to wipe anything prior to installing?

I have done everything according to the OP.
I don't have root after all. Titanium Backup says that and I have no SuperSU either.

Weird...

Any idea?

What do you mean? I don't get it

 

[mrjraider]

You flashed the Su zip? Because the program and a few needed files are in there If not then you have to start over since CWM is removed after installing the ROM.

Yes, I have. I flashed the ROM, then SU.zip, power off, flash .266 kernel only.
Reboot. All is fine, except for no root.

To be honest, I am already back to the CWM backup of 4.1.2 with root and CWM and bloat removed.
Your job is appreciated, though.

Is it ok to flash directly from Existenz 2.1.5 which is based .266? or Do i really need to downgrade to 4.1.2?
