NOTE: All 2011 Xperia firmwares EXCEPT build .62 can now be rooted directly using DooMLoRD's zergRush:
I repeat: THIS firmware CANNOT be rooted UNLESS you have an UNLOCKED bootloader and downgrade the kernel.
For UNLOCKED bootloaders ONLY:
DOWNLOAD: http://ul.to/tz3hl0yu/Recovery.rar
Steps:
Flash FTF via Flashtool.
Enter recovery with the command: fastboot boot recoveryARC.img
A recovery menu will appear in your phone.
Sets scripts assets: ENABLED
Flash RootXperia.zip via recovery. You have to copy RootXperia.zip to the SD card previously.
Reboot device.
If your bootloader is LOCKED:
Flash the previous LT15a .42 build here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1491066
Root using SuperOneClick or ZergRush.
Update over the air.
This FlashTool file works on ANY Xperia arc (LT15a/i).
Your arc does NOT have to be rooted.
Your arc does NOT have to be bootloader unlocked (except for root).
This does NOT re-lock a SIM unlocked phone (unlocking is ONCE and PERMANENT).
This does NOT unlock your bootloader.
This WILL wipe your phone & root. Backup first.
You MUST have BOTH PC Companion and Update Service installed. MIRROR: http://jp1.ca/androidstuff

Please do NOT mirror files.
Also confirmed using TrevE's Logger Test App that this firmware does NOT contain the privacy invading rookit by Carrier IQ.

Thank for the new ROM,
Q: What are the differences between NAM ROM and other ROMs (e.g. Global)?
Q: Is there a HOPE that this ROM will be rooted some day for Locked BL?
Q: Is there a big difference between .42 and .62?
Thanks a lot in advance.

All the generic ROMs are pretty similar. Some may have additional languages or applications specific to the region (but not carrier apps). Frankly, it doesn't really matter. I've used Nordic, Hong Kong and UK ROMs all without issue.
As for rooting, it's CLEARLY STATED in the description:

As for the differences, I haven't seen any discernible, visible difference. Some users have reported better battery life, less lag, etc.

I just received a notification that this update is available OTA on my .42. I, however, "freezed" some system apps. If I restore those apps (I didn't do any other internal changes) will OTA work? or is there still a risk of "bricking" a phone so that i will have to factory reset it?
THANKS!
\\edit: took the risk, update was smooth (and surprisingly fast!)
\\edit2: never mind, the reason it wsa so "smooth and fast" was that update failed. Any idea how to make it work?

As stated multiple times: Update OVER-THE-AIR... (NOT through PC Companion...)
You have to have a SIM card in. You then force an update via Settings / About.

May be I was not clear. SORRY
At first, I flash .42 from the above link. I followed your instructions. I rooted the phone then updated over the air. The update was downloaded to my mobile. I pressed Install. The phone restarted but No update to .62!!!. Exactly same as matus201.
Then, I tried another way, I update through pc. the update works very well BUT it cant be rooted.
Any suggestion.

I know that usually when OTA fails, it's because some system apps were removed / modified. But if nothing was modified (as in your case, dajj) i don't know what the problem is.
@Dajj: can you try if OTA works if you don't root .42?

If I use OTA update, will it wipe user data?

no it won't.

Thank you for your answer. I downgraded to .42 and I have installed all my programs. I'll try to update using OTA maybe tomorrow or in the weekend.

Update to .62. I can't tell it is worth or not because I'm busy. But as others said, it has some improvement in battery life and task management.

Just received Update Notification for 22.21.11 on Pure Edition?

As the title suggests... I just received an update notification for 22.21.11 on the T-Mobile Pure Edition. I'm currently on 22.11.6...
Has anybody else gotten this update on the Pure? I thought this was the Verizon version?

I was on 22.11.6 rooted with TWRP. I just unrooted through the latest SuperSU, flashed stock Lollipop recovery from graffitixnyc's website, and the update installed without issue. So far I haven't noticed any additional settings or anything, so I presume this is primarily a bugfix release. I suppose we'll see whether battery drain or some of the more minor bugs have been addressed.

Just ran the CF-AutoRoot "fastboot boot CF-*.img" (don't have time to type the whole thing out) from the bootloader and everything worked out fine. So yup, rooted again no issues.

Did you flash back the stock boot of .6 ? Because chainfire's custom kernel image would inject something to modify the kernel, OTA may fail when verifying stock kernel files.

That seems quite likely. I only rooted it a few days ago because I wanted to restore something with TiBu but I had left it unrooted for a few weeks after upgrading to Lollipop.

Could someone clarify what this update exactly is? Is it an update from .6 Lollipop, giving it higher version number? I'm just wondering why this thread is so relatively small...

I believe it's supposed to be bug fixes. Possibly for the background apps closing and memory leak issues a lot of people have reported.

Just got another OTA update. No change log on the update screen. New kernel compiled on November 27.
I don't have root to pull the update from cache since my display has issues that I plan on getting a warranty replacement for
Still need someone to use ADB and grab the OTA for this. My wife's phone is not an option right now...

I just received a system update to 5.0 Lollipop bringing the version to 22.21.16 as well, don't know what it did yet but hopefully it fixes some of the bugs I've noticed since moving up to lollipop.

it seems to have fixed the horrible memory management of the previous 5.0 rom
now to root it

I agree. Memory management is significantly better than it was. No more Chromecast apps getting closed while running in the background. Still running it through the paced, but it looks much better.

Did any of you have TWRP installed prior to updating? If so, what did you do to get back to stock recovery? I received the update this morning, but can't install it because I have TWRP installed on my XT1063 variant.

Can someone extract and post the boot.img?

Thanks for the reply! But is there a simpler way? Maybe a way to flash it via fastboot? Because root doesn't seem to play too well with my device. Keeps getting bootlooped and i know it's supposed to bootloop with the recent versions of SuperSU but it just doesn't wanna boot up.

Assuming the modified boot image for Root on 22.11.6 will not work with the update, and also assuming the boot.img will be overwritten with the update..loosing Root..
So we will be at the mercy of someone compiling a new boot.img.?

I found that flashing SuperSU caused a bootloop as well and was about to give up. But then I did it one last time and wiped cache in TWRP after flashing it. That time it worked!
The method I linked to get stock recovery back requires root.
If you can find a download of stock recovery from some random website, you can flash stock recovery through fastboot with fastboot flash recovery nameoffile.img

Not sure if you know about it, but your phone is basically showpiece from showrooms or shops, that's the X in your version number. This kind of phones are not intended to be sold for customers.
You will never got more updates as you already have, so your only option is to flash it manually.
Bootloop problem is not dependant on software version. It doesn't matter if you have 5.1 or 6.0.

Look again, and maybe twice at his version number: It's is VX10c-EUR-XX

Sure, your device is the same as mine v20d-EUR-XX which is a retail model, but this is not the case for VX10C-EUR-XX which is unfortunately a demo model

Off you can't. You have another recovery. Use LG UP and flash it. Easier can't be. Note you will lose root and the recovery.

Go to thread about the Portugal update and download the KDZ from there. Any link from that thread is the international H815 update. Don't worry about countries and shenanigans is the same firmware for all. V20g-EUR-XX. Install LG UP on your PC. First the DLL then the program. Place the KDZ in your LG UP install directory (Crogram Files (x86)/LG Electronics/LGUP/model/8994). Put your phone in download mode. (With phone turned off press Volume UP and with it press plug in the USB cable). Click refurbished option for a complete wipe and clean flash. Before all this make a backup. You can also select upgrade option to avoid wipe but I always recommend a clean flash. Read the according threads in XDA for further information if you need.

It seems the h818p will not be updated(yet)?

@src151 thanks for the info. I didn't knew that demo phones can have the GSM module. At least I got it at a very good price
I will upgrade manually then.

Soft-Bricked Prime Exclusive XT1625

Hi guys, i just received my new prime exclusive moto g 4th, once i turned on my devices an update appears so i installed it (OTA), i remember there was something in the name like MPJ24.139-64, once it finished updating i wanted to remove the ads following this tutorial MOTO G 4th Gen How to Remove the Amazon Lock Screen Ads and Bloat Ware . i did it all exactly as it is on the post. now my device can't start and i am not able to install the stock firmware cause all the stock rom versions available are actually lower that the installed on my phone and i think i can't downgrade because of the locked bootloader and it seems to be unlockable .
also it says on the recovery mode the next legancy: WE HAVE DETECTED AN ATTEMPT TO FLASH UNAUTHORIZED SW ON YOUR DEVICE. CONTACT CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR ASSISTANCE.

thanks for your help, i have already tried with that one, i flashes completely then when i reboot the devices it starts into recovery mode and says WE HAVE DETECTED AN ATTEMPT TO FLASH UNAUTHORIZED SW ON YOUR DEVICE. CONTACT CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR ASSISTANCE.

I think flashing S/W posted on Motorola site should bring your phone back to life.
See the thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=68502532&postcount=381 for the link to the same.

I would still give it a try as there is nothing to loose.
Or contact Motorola customer care to see what they say.

Did you try the files posted by Motorola at their site or the ones posted on android file host ..
If not by Motorola then I would try the same again.

Please read the thread in http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4/how-to/update-9-1-16-t3453726
It looks like somehow the firmware for the Indian XT1624 was put on your device. As far as I know, no one has been able to install XT1625 firmware on their device after installing the firmware for the XT1624.

After a little research, it does appear that an OTA was released for the AMZ XT1625. Sorry, I can't think of anything else that hasn't already been suggested.

It seems Moto has changed their site and updated the s/w it now shows XT1625.

I am currently downloading from motorola right now. I am also making a backup like normal. I will let you know if it works for the XT1625 as mine is retail US.

OK I downloaded and flashed it. While it came to the July 1 security update build still said -49. There was no Amazon ad crap and I got a system UI fc and retail something fc. Beyond that it was working just fine after about 5 mins.

the problem is that on mine phone the bootloader is unlockable

I'm assuming you've tried a factory reset from recovery?

yes i have

Have you tried unlocking the bootloader? I know you have an Amazon model but it doesn't hurt to try.

yes i have tried and it says that my device is no eligible for bootloader unlocking

stkpxl said:
Mine is booting up now, so far the same results as you. Although, I couldn't relock the bootloader. Could you?
EDIT: Trying a factory reset to see if those FCs get fixed....
EDIT2: They don't get fixed with a factory reset. Restarting it FCs File Manager. Restarting a 3rd time, it's fine. Weird

Looks like QuadRooter got fixed. Used the CheckPoint scanner to check. I'll take a security update even without updating the build number lol

I never tried to relock the bootloader. I still have a few more things to test before I will truly be happy lol.

Well it turns out you can't downgrade after flashing this. I tried flashing the previous firmware and got an error. I went ahead and nuked it all and put a build of CM13 on. Bonus for me is that I got received calls to work for once. So I'm fairly happy bow.

I restored my backup. I didn't try to downgrade. I will try that tomorrow.

I reflashed the moto firmware from moto website. Tried to downgrade and got an error myself. However I did have the factory -48 firmware. I don't remember where I got it from so sorry I cannot link it. I was able to flash twrp and wiped all data then flashed -48. I instantly received software update after I finished the normal setup. It updated to build number MPJ24.139-64. As soon as everything finishes reinstalling on my XT1625 I will post a screenshot.

Okay I found it again. Hope this will help out. Also this is only for Retail US. I do not think that it will work for AMZ
Firmware That I flashed. http://www.filefactory.com/file/3t2...PJ24.139-48_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip

im in the same situation with a soft bricked, bootloder locked, amazon g4. and i would like to try to update with a zip file of the update if there is one to be found somewhere.
