i highly doubt its impossible....... just no ones figured out a way to do it yet.
Oh, so there's absolutely NO way of rooting it without unlocking the bootloader just yet, is that correct? I've been trying to google out some fresh info, but everything's like one month old. Dying to root my phone but I know it's reasonable to wait for the exploit...

Dont think there is any sgp321 fw earlier than 253....
So there would be no way to root this model then i guess

I think you can root the tablet if you unlock the bootloader. If you want root currently on the 253 version, you can unlock the bootloader and install cwm recovery. I have not done so, maybe someone else can confirm.

Confirmed.
Unlock bootloader.
Flash DooMLoRDs CWM Recovery and boot into recovery an you'll get root as a side effect. Make sure you flash a Superuser zip....
I just read abut it this morning and am contemplating unlocking, the only thing stopping me is the loss of bravia engine after unlocking with no way to get it back. Im not bothered about the warranty.

you and many others (me for example.) seems like many of devs havent got sgp321 in hand so they're more focused in sgp311 and312. I've mentioned before there is paradox for sgp321.
# You can backup Ta partition for bravia engine 2 and drm keys.
# But you cant do that without root.
# You cant Root (yet) without unlocking bootloader.
# With bootloader unlocked you'll lost DRM key and BA2 forever. (you cant flash others TA partition you'll hard brick the device).
I've asked a question in QA if the mods can make three subforums for SGP 321,311 and 312 so that people wont flash wrong tft or try flashing wrong firmware in wrong device as every Model is reffered to Xperia Z ( I almost flashed xperia Z phone's firmware to SGP 321) its just disaster waiting to happen.
The naming convention used by sony itself is a bit strange when i try to google xperia tablet z related stuff i get xperia z stuff same with youtube. its tough finding guides. In terms of marketing it seems like an odd choice too. Xperia z and xperia tablet z can be confusing for daily consumers despite one being a phone and another a tab

well actually there is but from xperia z smartphone (it was 10.1.A.1.434 before came update to 10.1.1.A.1.253 ). Furthermore smartphone has the same hardware as tablet (Wifi+LTE), the difference seems to be only in screen size, and camera. So if you take the risk you can downgrade to .434, get root and the update to .253.
Hi Guys,
Trying to unlock my samsung, I rooted it yesterday and tried to use an apps from the playstore to unlock but was unable to unlock.
Does anybody have any quick ideas on how to unlock. I also tried code generators but they all seem to be fony and just want you to fill out questionnaires and pay them.
I would pay if it was cheap and quick.
You should try to use another root pack
And it would be good if you tell use what have you exactly done so far
And another question what do you mean with unlock ?
This Phone can only be rooted not more (root: you a operator on your phone and can do everything).

He means unlocking phone to work with other providers.
Ah OK i didnt thought that he means Simlock
It you can have this problems:
1 Root didn't work
2 Unlocking App didn't work (I thinink that's the problem)
3 You didn't give the app root permissions
If Root work or not you can look with an App
If you give the App root permission you can look in superuser
If this all works its to 90 % the unlock App

Its simple root your device and then install galaxy toolbox from playstore....then use network unlock.....reboot....And dont forget to backup your bml5 partition....

As I said in another thread: RIC has been updated so a new modified kernel will be needed like we have for 4.3. There is a fix for z1s but I don't know if it has been released yet
Here to root 4.4..

Be patient, please, and let me explain.
My new device never worked fine. Never was able to use wifi or bluetooth, so i made everything I could imagine or you, people, helped me. Nothing worked.
So i asked help the seller and told me a lot of foolish advices, just to avoid the issue. He did not response by the issue. So I was ... you know... f(censored).
Then i saw a thread. Some Motorola G had same issue, and fixed by copying a file at persist folder. You had to be root to find it. So i tried to root. Nothing happened. Nor by abd or anything else. Finally I installed Cuoco... but device did not root!
I am begging to suspect a fake. If this would be a fake, root and firmware (to wifi and BT) could not work fine, right?
Is it possible? Can they lock root? If not, why can not root? Conspiracy?
Thanks.
root thew phone, flash twrp, flash a aosp or los rom and see if it still doesnt work

Use the qfil unbrick rom for debricking . I
Would be surprised if it worked with a clone.

Ok, but i can not root the phone. In other hand, what do you mean with "los rom"?

I used qfil a lot of times. Yes, it makes the phone alive, but issues remain: no possible root, no wifi, no BT.

If you want i can remote assist you. Done it a could of times with xda users. I recently learned s lot about unbricking and about leeco devices in generall. I have time today because i'm sowewhat ill, meinjg i could be a bit slow.
If you want to, install teamviewer and send mee youf credentials via pm.

The issue is most likely the efs partition of your phone cause neither qfil nor a custom rom are going to touch it. I don't know how you will be able to manipulate this partition (modemst1 and modemst2) without root

I hope nothing serious. Best wishes of health.
If you use antutu benchmark it proposes to install officer app that checkes device is original. You can also use other hardware checking tools. Try install some Android 7 eg Resurrection Remix that comes with preinstalled magisk which is newest method of rooting.

Hey, from what I could gather it seems that it's still not possible to do that once someone figures out a way to flash the European ROM we'll be able to do it but right now all we can do is wait
You may need to use funcky Huawei or unlocl bootloader and then flash the oeminfo and dload the firmware. It works on LP, MM, Nougat and Oreo. Getting the unlock code is paid now and also you may need to find someone who can share the oeminfo (needs unlocked bootloader as well)
