[ROOT][S/SL] How-to for rooting newest firmware 6.2.B.1.96

[ info ]
So guys I have got root on the newest firmware 6.2.B.1.96!
Since Sony has patched our beloved perf_event exploit (with which we rooted 30+ Xperia devices) I had to find an alternate way... so I did the smart thing, just used the kernel on which the exploit works, root the device and flash back the newest kernel!
THIS WORKS ON BOTH LOCKED & UNLOCKED BOOTLOADERS!
BTW if someone needs a full FTF of this new firmware here it is: XperiaS_LT26i_6.2.B.1.96_1257-6919.ftf - 485.30 MB

[ NOTICE ]
THIS IS ONLY FOR THE XPERIA S/SL (LT26i/ii) FW 6.2.B.1.96!
DO NOT USE IT ON ANY OTHER VARIANT/FIRMWARE!
[ sources & additional info on exploit ]
check out this thread
[ how-to ]
Download the three files from the download section below
open FlashTool and flash the XperiaS_LT26i_6.2.B.0.211_KernelOnly.ftf - 6.36 MB file, this is JUST the kernel of an older firmware which was rootable
now once flashing is done reboot device and connect to PC in usb debuggin mode
CLOSE FLASHTOOL <<< VVVIMP STEP
extract the file DooMLoRD_Easy-Rooting-Toolkit_v18_perf-event-exploit.zip to root directory on c:\
execute runme_ file corresponding to your OS on desktop PC, this will execute a SPECIAL version of my easy rooting toolkit <<< VVVIMP STEP
the above step is crucial! if you use any older version of the toolkit then IT WILL NOT WORK!
after rooting is over the device will restart
you can verify if device is rooted by checking for SuperSU app (it is the newest version)
once thats done now power down device and open FlashTool again
now flash XperiaS_LT26i_6.2.B.1.96_KernelOnly.ftf - 6.33 MB file to get back to the true kernel for the firmware
thats it after flashing is done just disconnect and power on device and enjoy rooted phone!

You're so fast man.. Thanks for that

@DooMLoRD, so rooting the phone by flashing a custom kernel with recovery and then re-flashing back the stock kernel doesn't work anymore? For UL.

maybe you can make it for acro s?

if u have unlocked bootloader u can ALWAYS get root by flashing any kernel with recovery + correct update.zips...
this is mostly for people on LOCKED bootloader who flashed the full FTF for the new 6.2.B.1.96 firmware....

Hi,
Is there any known fix for windows 8? It is just impossible to start in the mode while holding volume DOWN and connecting USB cable at the same time.

I have lost the your kernel with recovery and the superuser.zip that I used to root the .211 FW
May I ask you again the links for both?
edit: I found the supersu.zip, it was the 1.25, can I use it also for this new FW?
Also, can I use your 6.0.3.2 recovery? I found only this one on my laptop!

man you are so fast oh my god. thanks dude!

I am on win8 so Ill rather wait .zip

Lol, for unlocked bootloader, wouldn't it be easier if we just fastboot flash a recovery and then flash a superuser zip?

i have noticed that people get confused with flashing kernel things equating to unlocked bootloader only so wanted to make it clear that it will work on both locked & unlocked bootloaders
P.S.: dont you think that I would know that pretty well?

XZDualRecovery 2.7.90 BETA or newer.
Current rooted FW version: 10.4.1.B.0.101.
Special features:
SuperSU integrated in system, FULL ROOT!
XZDualRecovery 2.7.123 BETA (CWM & PhilZ Touch & TWRP) pre-installed;
init.d support (read how to enable)
For both locked and unlocked bootloaders!
In the following guide I suggest you use an external SDCard but that's just good practice, you can use your internal storage or even an USB OTG storage device in TWRP if you like to install, that's no problem!... If you are modding and the likes, best is to have an external sdcard, just for safeties sake.
If you are unable to download torrent files directly, have http://zbigz.com/ do it for you!
How to update to 10.5.A.0.230:
Files (Find them on the DevDB Download tab!):
For C6502: Download C6502_10.5.A.0.230.flashable.zip (890MB) and C6502_10.5.A.0.230_Stripped.ftf (17MB)
For C6503: Download C6503_10.5.A.0.230.flashable.zip (902MB) and C6503_10.5.A.0.230_Stripped.ftf (17MB)
For C6506: Download C6506_10.5.A.0.230.flashable.zip (903MB) and C6506_10.5.A.0.230_Stripped.ftf (17MB)
Save them somewhere you remember;
Put 'C65XX_10.5.A.0.230.flashable.zip' on (the external) SDcard1;
Put 'C65XX_10.5.A.0.230_Stripped.ftf' inside the Flashtool/firmwares folder;
Create a backup of your phone in TWRP and don't forget to backup the contents of 'SDCard' (the internal storage!);
Flash 'C65XX_10.5.A.0.230.flashable.zip' in TWRP (if you notice your phone reboot during the update process, update to the latest XZDualRecovery and try again);
NOTE: do not reboot but go back to the main menu, then go to reboot->power off;
Flash everything in 'C65XX_10.5.A.0.230_Stripped.ftf' using flashtool;
Reboot to system.
The first boot will be slow and after some time at the boot animation you will see Android start optimizing the apps on your phone.
Enjoy! :laugh:
Known XZDualRecovery Issues:
Busybox Updater/Installer: If you have XZDualRecovery installed, un-install any Busybox updating app/tool as most if not all of them will install a version of busybox which does not support the lzma compression applets XZDualRecovery depends on. The version installed together with XZDualRecovery is very stable and I have yet to hear anyone complain about it's stability.
How to report errors:
Please, before shouting out "It doesn't work!!1!" or "I lost root!" or even "My phone reboots when remounting /system RW!!" try the following:
Restore any JB 4.2.2 FTF using any means you are familiar with so you can try again.
Root it using any means you are familiar with.
Install XZDualRecovery;
Update to 10.4.1.B.0.101;
Then try to update again using TWRP.
If it still fails something from there on: LOGS!!.
NOTE: The important ones can be found in /cache/recovery and in /sdcard1/XZDualRecovery, pack them up and send them to me or attach them to your bug report.
Thank you

Hi,
Can I go straight from 4.2.2 FW .67 rooted or do I need to update first to 4.3 FW .101 ?
I didn't try it yet, downloading files first.
It works with locked bootloader, right?
Thx!

Works fine as everytime. Thanks [NUT]!

It should work, but as I have no ZL to play with nor did I test it on anything else then 101 I'd say: create a solid backup and just go for it. In theory it should work between any stock rom based on 4.2.2 and up.

Once more we must thank @Nut a lot for making it possible to have the latest Xperia FW with root. Thanks very much. Still I have one question. On .569 and .101 though I installed the SuperSU fix, after installing rom, I still had problems using Foldermount with remount/reboot issue.
Then I solved it again applying your Remount/Reboot fix tool kit.
Could you please tell me if the issue hapens again with 4.4.2, I will be able to fix with the same tool?
Best regards.

Update xzdualrecovery to the latest version and try again, if it still fails...
I know this is going to sound odd but do it, for real:
Grab another external sdcard or use an USB otg device....

Foldermount really needs to get fixed somehow because the reboot remount fix is fully integrated in xzdualrecovery... It's probably even better in xzdualrecovery then in the fix... Foldermount probably does something which just sets all alarms off in the rom or screws about with something zygote goes mad about...

It will probably work when coming from any JB or KitKat version, but I tend to keep it a safe bet on the OP

So where is this firmware based? I mean, the countrry, like FR AE and such? Also, if i already have rooted .108 (4.4.4) on my z1 C6903, can i just flash the zip file in twrp and not the ftf anymore? Also, can i dirty flash it?

IF you're on 108 already, why bother?

You could try to create a backup of your data partition and then do a factory reset from TWRP. This will not mess with your internal storage if you don't want it to.
Then see if it turns on again. Could be something changed in how it gets addressed in the config...

But seeing you have an unlocked bootloader as well... X-Reality should not even work anymore ever since you unlocked it...

woop. I guess I won't update for now!

Is there SdCard read&write issue on this firmware too mate? I meant, do we have to edit permission.xml file again after flashing this? I am currently not able to move apps to sd nor i can use third part backup&restore apps like " GOBACKUP" with 4.4.2 , but with the 532 stock kernel i can do it. Issue is still there on the firmware 14.3.A.0.757 stripped by NUT I need your help man. I used everything on XDA, no hope.

no you dont have to pay anything just register there fill all that is required and after that you would receive 3 emails from them
1 registration and welcome type
2 it is order details(that is totally free)
3 it is the download link
i haven't tried to install it yet as the download size is around 900mb+ also the link does not support resume

Hi, I have 2 days trying to install the breaks but I can not do it for some reason and I know I'm doing wrong, I do everything they say on the page but I do not know, install it today and leave it for one now and do not pass the Xperia overlay logo when The institution happens to the device I do not disconnect the device from the pc I do not know if that's what I'm doing wrong, one more thing I would like to know if the emulation of the internal memory is disabled by default thanks
Thank you I found the solution to the problem in the Facebook group Rom this incredible

It literally ruined my phone. I downloaded the C2004 variant and flashed it and BOOM!!! I started to dislike it from the start when I saw its boot splash screen. There's nothing good in this ROM (or OVERLAY, whatever). The bootanimation is inconsistent, no dual functionality even after flashing C2004 variant, inconsistent status bar icons and the MAIN THING: where the hell is root? There is a SuperSU app only to showoff. I lost my recovery, my root and now, I'll have to flash my stock ROM again.
NOTE: I DID A FULLY CLEAN WIPE INCLUDING INTERNAL (ONLY FOR THIS PIECE OF ####). ?

You have to use the twrp that comes in the ROM to be able to install the ROM correctly you have to place the ROM file in the internal memory and install it from

I did exactly the same. -_-

Hello guys I want to recommend this I have a week using it, I will tell you my experience of use during this week, this rom is incredible I liked the image quality, the sound optimization in games is very good I played for several hours and almost did not heat practically Nothing that is incredible the sound is heard so loud that it is distorted but I like it to have that volume because with other roms in noisy places I put the phone in the ear to listen but with this rom it is not necessary, it has two small bugs when it is Will transfer photos and videos from the storage options will close the settings, and the other is the next when you enter the manual mode of the camera and touch the screen to focus the camera take the photo but close or I put it In auto focus individual and no longer closes because the focus is fixed battery life is the best of this rom is certainly the best performance that e has now a small appreciation about the operating system in general, it is in a little sad that no Is 5.1 because extending the notifications helps a lot, the super user permission has to be installed via recovery and it is an error that the emulation of the internal memory is not disabled by default forcing the user to install xposed to solve this problem and the option of Pass photos and videos to sd does not work rest is perfect ? I love this rom

See this video i had made last year

[Magisk Module][EXYNOS][SNAPDRAGON test] Decoded_CSC_Features_Files Esim Support

Hello,
From original @m8980 's work : https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=82222203&postcount=4
I decided to add AppLock feature to it.
It gives some features/options like :
- Disable shutter sound menu
- AppLock Protection menu
- Support RealTime Network Speed
- Enable Camera during call
- Voicecall recording
- Data usage view on quick panel
- Block call number menu
- enable Esim support
- enable 5G support
It should work on all exynos roms, but you will see "G981B" in operator software version.
Thanks to @m8980 for his original work on magisk module creation
Best regards
Please do not ask if it works for any other phone than S20/+/Ultra.
Please do not ask for making it works on any other phone than S20/+/Ultra.

I think it should work on other versions. In case you see something wrong, you can just disable the plugin in magisk.
