well after the release of the latest firmware comes the new expectation of rooting the device?
any successors?
for now,you can only flash over rooted 4.4.4
what i am asking is a more direct and preferably one step method...

Also I wait for a direct method...(Like EasyRootTool)
Now I'm on rooted 4.4.4 and wait for update to last firmware because I need root (Titanium Backup and so on)
So, I ask same of OP: please notify here when a root (tested) method work on 14.5 fw :fingers-crossed:
pdf 14.5
Has anyone tried pdf 14.5?

This means that I could flash via flashtool .242 firmware without loosing root?
And do u guys think that if I flash 4.4 kernel only (rooted) , and later I re-flash lollipop kernel will it works?

Am I too late for this method? I already updated to 5.02 and i lost root. Can I flash back to 4.4. and install dual recovery , or is this method only useable on 4.4?

Hi i followed all the steps as mentioned.... but after flashing restarting it is not going past Sony logo, not even the boot animation.
Please help
Hey there Just decided to share my experience. I have a D5503 and I flashed the 14.5.A.0.242 firmware. After this I decided to try to root the device,but since I had no TWRP or Clockwork it seems impossible to root. I lost my bootloader unlock too and no tool or method seems to be able to unlock it. I tried the official sony method,tried from flashtool and other similar programs but nothing seems to work (from cmd it comes up with and error message, some kind like "failed,cannot complete command or smth"). And yes,I've checked and my phone's bootloader CAN be unlocked. Any ideas what must be causing that or I just have to wait for a proper tool/method for root/BL unlocker ?

Flash this file (unrar before) via odin, (i used 3.09).
Open Kingo Root, it should say already rooted. Click Root Again. it will install Super SU 2.02. Update binarywith Normal method.
Don't update Super SU via Google Play it will failed,
I rooted my phone yesterday.
Good Luck

ran kingo root
problems are:
disables the rotation sensor (cant want videos sideways)
on boot root triangle is shown(haven't tried root triangle go away yet (but disappears when you flash stock rom)
cant update SuperSu binary (manually, automatically, Superuser version fails too)
We still need CWM if anyone could help me I've setup Ubuntu (dual boot) and already made a custom rom with root using android kitchen but cannot flash it as need Recovery (odin cant execute the on flash scripts that the android kitchen compiles with the roms)

Hello,
Is there any way to downgrade from lollipop to kit kat? Im using N910PVPU2BOE1 (I bought the cellphone with this update), I'd see post about it and some people say yes and no.
Can you explain me? Or if is possible to unlock the N910P from Sprint by unlockbox, app or similar. I need the note 4 for international use.
PS: I've another N910P with OB7. Can I do a nand backup or similar and put it n the Note 4 with OE1 ? Maybe something like clone the software
IF u r on OE1 build you cant downgrade to KITKAT .
sorry
---------- Post added at 08:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:13 PM ----------

I was on OE1. Now i am on BOB7. Still cant odin. Help

so what I did was root using odin installed twrp from the playstore and flashed the twrp recovery from the app. once I had recovery I flashed a stock rom from the forum in twrp. that booted up fine then I hooked my phone into the pc and open kies to see if it reconized my phone and it did so I hit the tools tab at the top of the program and clicked on firmware upgrade and initialization and it stared updating my phone back before the oel update

firmwarefile doesn't have 4.2.2, it only has 4.4+
You need 4.2.2. to flash TWRP, using the Loki method. This phone has a locked bootloader so an unsigned kernel cannot normally be flashed, but it allows root with KingRoot.

The process should be the same for the i337 and the i257, as long as you have 4.2.2. I make no guarantees as I cannot backup 4.2.2 to even give myself multiple shots at fixing the phone in case of brick. Most likely, the predesigned boot only works for i337 but the exploit should work for i257.

I don't have the firmware in a flashable. It's still on the phone itself, and I don't know how to back it up.
Hi guys,
I rooted my phone using the first method (flashing patched boot on A and B).
The problem is that magisk disappeared from my phone and i was wondering how can i remove root and have the original firmware again.
I am currently on the august patch.
You can check @BubuXP's reply here it might help you out.

I flashed original boot img but OTA still doesn't apply.
The only solution might be to flash stock rom 9.4.0 (July) using MI flash tool but i'm afraid that It isn't possible to do it
Installed org boot with A/B?
Did u modify system partition? Like build.prop OR something?
If nothing works you must try using MI Flash tool with the stock ROM

Connect the Phone to the pc via USB in the flash tool must say "refresh" once you click refresh must apear your device with de adb/fastboot id. Then click select, choose the folder you've downloadwd, then click flash. Now wait until the flash tool says "flashed".
After that your Phone must have stock ROM ready for OTA. If you want to keep magisk i'll recomend you to follow BubuXp guide to install magisk with proper support for OTA's

Thank you very much, i will do it tomorrow.
One lady question, i saw that the rom is 9.4 while my device is running 9.6.
Is this a problem ?
There's no problem it will flash everything a leave the device with stock ROM, i recomend you to use the first way, you will lose the data, but I think is better, anyway i think both methods will lock the bootloader, so anyway you will lose the data, make backup and If u need something tell me.
Good luck, LB
