Xperia S Stock Firmware 6.1.A.2.55 Deodex Flashable Zip Root

Title should tell you all.
I made it to be easy to flash on unlock boot loader via CWM recovery. Just flash it like other custom ROM.
It also reported to work on Locked boot loader!!
- deodex framework and app
- remove few bloated app recommended by ROM kitchen
- busybox installed
- ready for init.d tweak
- ready for user app.
Installation test with SSpeed V7 normal kernel and Advanced Stock Kernel ICS16
It work on my Xperia s I hope it work on your as well.
https://hotfile.com/dl/180118347/fd5551c/LT26i_6.1.A.2.55_SG_Stock.zip.html
The goal of this ROM is a clean stock ROM but ready for mod easily by using just 7zip and notepad++
For example to get quick panel toggle just download the mod somewhere in xda then open the ROM with 7zip (do not extract) then replace systemui and add quick panel setting apk in the system folder. That is!!
You can also add your favor app in data/app to make it preinstall with your new ROM.
Have fun with modding and share your work.

Great Job.

I think you can use titanium backup to backup your game data. Just to be safe please do binary backup of the whole system in CWM before you flash new firmware.
When I test on mine I always do a clean install to eliminate unforeseen problem. I wold recommend you do the same.

works for locked boot? : Confused:

Ok. Btw can you spot any difference in this new update?
Is battery life good?
Bravia engine and auto brightness working?

my bootloader is locked
and well i went ahead and flashed it (just to prove my theory) and it worked...
my previous rom was .50 rooted and had CWM installed also
i already had flashed .55 kernel and baseband only thing missing was .55 sys
i flashed this zip
it booted and phone is now finally fully .55 and rooted
only thing i had 2 reinstall was CWM because this zip doesnt have recovery in it
thanks! :good:
any chance of same rom with root but in original state (with root included ofc)?
i wont post my steps yet cause i think since this is a deodex rom we will have .odex files left over in sys partition (correct me if im wrong)
so please make a zip so i can test and u can then release for all us unlucky bootloader locked Xperia S users
cheers

And I can flash it on all version firmware (.45, .50,...) or custom roms?

Ur bootloader lock or unlock? Can u flash doomkernel v7? It has root feature for .253.
Sent from my BlackBerry 9900 using Tapatalk

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....

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.

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 unlocked my BL first time when I got my phone c6506 usa version
I didn't backup my TA.and as I said I unlock bl so I can't get ota or via pc
I got .253 file from xda using flashtool .

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.

i tried rooting the new firmware and it was a success, i now have root and dual recovery installed on stock 4.3

here's how. (my device is locked BL)
LINKS UPDATED!! (recovery)
1.Backed up my TA Partition
2.Flashed the official .569 ftf using flashtool
3.Unlocked my ZL's bootloader
4.Flash this kernel to get recovery (thanks Minthun46) http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/?id=700#downloads extract the boot.img and flash it using fastboot or flashtool (fastboot mode)
5.Flash Supersu fix zip and dual recovery (thanks NUT) SUPERSU fix.zip http://nut.xperia-files.com/download.php?dlid=U3VwZXJTVV9maXg=

FOR UNLOCKED BL

VOILA!!! device is now rooted and has working recovery
PS
Will only work for ZL that can be bootloader unlock.
Hit thanks if it helps you.

Don't put Locked BL in the title, you only managed to root because your phone was unlockable. Putting Locked BL in the title states that your bootloader can also be locked for this method to work, and but unless your ZL can be bootloader unlocked, this method cannot be used for locked BL

{HELP}XMD C2005 - Stucked at bootanimation after Unlocking!!!

hi XMD users.
I unlocked my XMD C2005 succesfully but when i booted it i got stucked on bootanimation. I tried to flash the 4.3 kernel with CWM and able to go to recovery but still unable to boot into system..
I performed it twice but i have no idea what is the reason behind. my phone is unlockable.
Thanks.

Try flashing the kernel from the stock FTF through Flashtool. If you don't have one, try requesting from other users.

i already flashed the stock CWM kernel for xperia m dual but its no good.. i can put it bring it back to 4.3 but my problem is i can't root it..i always stucked in boot animation everytime i unlocked my device..
any idea why is this happening?

What do you mean, stock CWM? What I meant was to flash the stock kernel, the one that came with your device.

i can do that, but my problem is i can't boot my device after unlocking. i already unlocked my bootloader.. any suggestion?
I just want to ask and know, how long will it takes to boot up after unlocking 4.3 or flashing a 4.3 image with CWM? Coz' when I first unlocked the device it's been more than 20mins and the device still on boot animation..
Any tips? Thanks...

No. All you have to do is to boot into flash mode.
It doesn't normally boot too long. It's just like rebooting the device.

IDK I had some problems too with bootloader unlocking and I found the fix: don't unlock with Sony site, but with flashtool.
AFAIR I relocked my bootloader and then I unlocked it with flashtool and it worked. It's thag button near the flash button.

If you unlocked your bootloader already , relock with TA partition (If you Made).Or just relock it with the latest version of flashtool. And boot into flash mode (Volume down btn press and hold) and flash a .ftf firmware.That's it ----> CHEERS .. if you still facing problems please report in the same thread with my name i.e @XDASenior

[GUIDE][Unlocked BL][Update and Root Xperia ZL KK 4.4.2]

Guys just sharing how I updated my ZL to the latest KK 4.4.2 and ROOT, in case someone is interested. Total time it took me around 2hrs using 10MB connection.
1. Downgrade to 4.2 Nordic version. Optional if youre 4.3 is already in Nordic.
2. Relock bootloader.
3. Use SUS to download and install the 4.4.2 update.
4. Decrypt and create your own FTF from the files downloaded by SUS.
5. Unlock bootloader.
6. Flash CM11 KK boot.img using fastboot.
7. Boot to CWM, flash supersu update zip to root the phone
8. Relfash STOCK Sony Kernel using the FTF created in step4.
9. Enjoy ROOT access.
10. Optional - relock bootloader.
Disclaimer - by following the steps, your warranty is VOID now. BUT you get to have the latest version of Android, ROOT and customization for your phone. I have made necessary backups to restore everything to STOCK, including DRM keys in case I need to go for warranty.
Edit - i'll update later with download links for flashtool, SUS, CM11 bootimg, chainfire supersu update

Additional screenie for fastboot commands -

2 questions, I'd love to do this, but...
1. Where can I find this nordic version? Is this an ftf somewhere?
2. How do you relock the bootloader? Is there something available? I can't seem to find it...

where i can find this supersu update zip? it comes with KK CM11?
