Hello everybody. Need some help. I plan to root my ZR and to install folder mount. My ZR running 4.2.2 out of the box. I notice my ZR got new message to upgrade to 4.3. OTA.So what is the correct way to root my phone. Root the phone first then upgrade to 4.3 or upgrade to 4.3 then root. Which one is better? Is it safe to root use kingo root.? Tq

sony still giving 4.3 updates while others are enjoying 4.4.

Got any problem to this?
I dun mind whether they are giving the 4.4 update just because personally I like 4.3 more than 4.4 after owned Nexus 7 2nd Gen sometimes ago....

Where to buy new/used Xperia ZR LTE?

It seems online shops only sell 3G version.

Are you sure its running 4.2.2, not 4.1.2? If you are still on 4.1.2, the safest route is to root using DoomLord's toolkit, and then upgrade through OTA to 4.3. If you are on 4.2.2, rooting will be harder as you have to unlock your bootloader, which voids your warranty.


Because ZR LTE was never released for Malaysian market..

maybe sony's 4.4 might change your preferance

Find for AP models and make sure you dont get conned by getting a 3G AP set

Yes my ZR running 4.2.2. Just bought week ago. This morning manage to root my ZR. The DoomLord toolkit kit doesn't work on my ZR. Manage to root using toolkit from Japan website which some post it at xda forum. Straight forward step. No need to unlock the boatloader. Still got bravia engine. I'm happy now.. My ZR still running on 4.2.2 since 4.3 some people experience problem with WiFi, BT and battery drain

Hmm.. that is weird in itself, since Malaysian ZR never received 4.2.2 update, straight jump from 4.1.2 to 4.3.. Anyway, good to hear that u are already rooted..

However, 4.3 is not so bad.. Battery drain, maybe worse than 4.1.2, but they say an update due around next week should bring a fix to all those problems..

My phone come with 4.2.2 out of box...lol

Well, it shows that the update exist, but was never made available for Malaysian 4.1.2 users..

Mine one is the ori set la, but it's running with SG region firmware

How to know the SG firmware?.

my zr had some touch issues when i was "whatsapping".

What is the issues?. Mine so far work ok. Only notification led blinking rate to slow. Anyone know how to increase the blink rate for the notification light.

was typing,the suddenly the words autospam by itself.had to restart the phone to solve the issue

hi ZR user here , i had a problem with my widget Google search . It used to work fine before but suddenly it stop working .. pop up notification "Unfortunately Google Search has stopped"

any idea how to fix this?

See that part of the phone over heating or not.. sometimes excessive heat can cause ghost touch

Now got many region started roll out firmware, but sadly still no SG region...

Checked just now, no Malaysia also
