[Q] Root Xperia with Lollipop? - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I'm kind of a noob, so sorry if this is a dumb question.
I just installed the new Lollipop Fimware on my Z2, using Flashtool. Now I want to root the device, but reading through articles on XDA or XperiaBlog, they all said you need to use older firmware. So my question is, can you root the Z2 with Lollipop?
I'd be grateful for helpful answers.

Things needed:
PC, fastboot driver, know how to boot to bootloader(fastboot mode) and recovery mode
Now you can without having old kernel (not firmware)
go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/development/kernel-andropluskernel-v10-t2974841 extract boot.img from the zip file.
Boot your phone to fastboot mode and in command:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Go to recovery mode after restarting and then get UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip and flash it via newly installed TWRP recovery.

Thats a terribly bad answer right ? I've rooted another devices but but can't undestand almost a thing of the process you just posted.

Same here. I'm a noob wanting to learn how to root. But this went over my head :/

Would using PRF creator work? If you bundled the lollipop firmware with supersu.zip and flashed it would it give you lolipop with root? Because this is what i did to update to 4.4.4 with root. For anyone that doesnt know PRF creator is a program which combines 3 files which is are firmware of your choice, a superSU.zip and a recovery.zip. It combines them into a .zip that you can flash in recovery and have the firmware with superSU and a custom recovery on it.

I have a locked bootloader and mines rooted, do you want me to say how?

If its on lollipop, i would very much like to know how.

Isn't this the exact same answer as rooting 4.4.4?
Downgrade to 4.4.2
Root
Install recovery
Install rooted lollipop zip in recovery
If you don't understand this or the method posted above don't root. Also, if.you can't google things like fastboot to understand what it is don't root.

Bootloop
Everything was fine, till i tried superSU. Twrp flashed it fine, but then when i tried to reboot, the device got stuck in a bootloop.
wipe cache/delvik also didnt help.
I have a new z2, then unlocked the bootloader, and then got the Norway rom using xperifirm.
Norway rom installed fine. twrp installed fine. But i am facing a bootloop now that i have flashed UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip
Anybody else face this issue?

try wiping just "Dalvik Cache" and restart again. I have also face similar strange issue when I was using FlashTool a couple of times.
If that doesn't work try normal wiping from TWRP and install firmware using FlashTool.

I just reflashed with 17.x firmware, and upgraded using the rooted rom "D6503_Customized BAL_1282-0827_23.1.A.0.690_R3C_SuperSU_XZDR2.8.3"

I'm no Android/Lollipop/Rooting expert but using an unlocked boot loader I was able to root Lollipop (23.1.A.0.690 ) easily using the kernel from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...ot-stock-flashable-kernel-23-1-0-690-t3061816
My steps were:
1. Install Lollipop
2. fastboot flash boot boot.img (to install above mentioned kernel with TWRP recovery)
So far so good.
PS: To use fastboot you'll likely need the drivers from flashtool (http://www.flashtool.net/index.php) and if on Win 8.1 you'll need to search for instructions on how to install unsigned drivers.

[Q] A small question about flashing cm 12

Hi, everyone, I just got my z3 tablet and I am in love with it except i don't like the interface. So i decide to root my tablet without unlocking the bolted and I did made it and i did install TWRP. I have a question, since I have TWRP is it possible for me to install cm 12 rom or I need to have a unlock boot loader in order to install it?
Sorry for my bad english and thank you for answering my questions.

You need to unlock to flash a custom kernel which would be needed by the cm12 to run. So first.
1.Backup drm keys
2.Unlock BL
3. Flash CM kernel via fastboot
4. Flash CM Rom via recovery.

I just bought a Z3 tablet compact, which should be here at the end of next week. I haven’t found a tutorial which includes all steps to get from the standard rom to CM12. Did I miss any steps or does the following steps include everything?
Root tablet on the original Sony rom
Backup TA partition (I guess that's where the DRM keys are?)
Unlock bootloader
Flash a recovery (any recommendations?) I found this tutorial, but I only need one recovery and I don’t want to flash that zip every time I install a new rom.
Flash CM12. Are there any kernels beside that one included in the CM12 zips?

I guess you should just flash the kernel via fastboot after unlocking the bootloader, that would eliminate the need to flash a recovery. It's hitting 2 birds and one stone and besides CM uses a different kernel than stock so later you would really need to flash kernel.

Thanks for your reply. The whole flashing procedure is a lot more complicated than on my S3, so I have a follow-up question.
Should I just backup the TA partition, unlock the tablet, flash this kernel which should give me root and TWRP and then flash another recovery and CM12?
I found this recovery which is only semi-permanent, because you have to flash it before you upgrade/install a new CM12 version. It’s not big deal tbh, but is there a permanent recovery, which I only have to install once.
I'm also curious about this.
Right now, I'm trying to download the Flashtool program from Sony, but apparently, you need to "register" for it. Where did you guys download your Flashtool from?

Correct, make sure the kernel is compatible with CM

The whole procedure is really frustrating, maybe someone can help me here.
I did a backup of the TA partition and unlocked the bootloader. I tried flashing the boot.img from the cm.zip, but I have no idea how to flash the rom via the cm-recovery.
Flashing the advanced kernel to get TWRP wasn’t successful as well. I tried the fastboot mode of the Flashtool and flashed the kernel, but nothing changed.
Can someone post a brief guide with the next steps to get CM12 running (with cmd commands pls)?
EDIT: I just tried to use “adb sideload” in the CM recover, but “adb devices” doesn’t show the tablet .
EDIT2: EDIT: Seems like I got it to work after all. The DualRecover Installer worked, even without SuperSU installed.

I ran into the same problem usin the cm12 nightlies from 27th march 2015:
Sideloading would not work because the tablet is not recognized by the computer. I tried with Windows 7 and gentoo Linux.
Installing from the sd-card in recovery mode was also not possible due to a error of missing "/misc".
I solved the problem by manually choosing the driver in Windows 7. I booted the tablet into recovery. Choose update using adb as detailed in this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-...t/root-root-locked-bootloader-sgp621-t3013534
Then I found the device in the windows device manager. Here I manually choose the adb driver that I installed earlier from the flashtool package. After that the device was correctly recognized by Windows and I could Sideloade the cm12 image.

accessing bootloader

Hiya
I've desided to change my rom on my G925F and I have it rooted however I am unable to reboot into the bootloader I can't find any way to unlock it.
Any thoughts, hints, ideas that would help me in my quest to rid my phone of bloatware would be greatly appreciated
You won't need to unlock your bootloader if you have a 925F - do you mean you can't boot into recovery mode? What exactly are you trying yo achieve? Do you want to flash another firnware, or just de-bloat your current firmware?
Hi
I guess I should have been a bit clearer, my plan/goal is to flash another firmware onto my phone
Maybe I should say why I want to get into the bootloader:
I want to install fastboot and I can't cause I can't get into bootloader

So if I understand your request, you'll first need to flash a custom recovery like CWM or TWRP, which you do via Odin. Once you have that, you can flash a new custom firmware as an unsigned .zip file. Follow the instructions here - this is what I used on my 925F.

Sorry, I'm still not sure what you're trying to achieve - you're obviously able to boot into Download Mode if you're now using TWRP (assuming you flash it via Odin). What are you trying to do via Fastboot that can't be done via TWRP?

Umm. . . According to that link you've posted, the Galaxy S6 isn't even supported. I suspected as much, as Fastboot is usually something you only see on pure Android devices (Nexus phones/tablets).
I'd strongly suggest you do some more reading on this before proceeding, as you'll almost certainly end up with an expensive paperweight otherwise!!

i'm trying to update my phone to .575 and cant enter recovery, anyone knows if i'm doing something wrong???
thank you in advance
Odin is for Samsung. There is no Download mode in Sony and you can't root Marshmallow, at least not permanently. My favorite method involves downgrading to 4.4.2 and using the Xperia Z Dual Recovery (XZDR) which temporarily roots to install a recovery. After that you can install a prerooted .zip
PS Sony is NOT Samsung!

One Plus X soft (?) bricked

Hi guys,
Before you say again a topic on a non bricked One Plus X, I would like to let you know that I've checked and try almost all of the tutorial I've seen on xda and one plus forum.
I was on CM14.1 with this ROM : https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-x/orig-development/rom-cyanogenmod-14-onyx-t3452150
Unfortunately, I made the 25-12-2016 update and it totally broke up the phone..
I download the OnePlus X OxygenOS 3.1.4 on the One Plus website. So I flash it on the stock recovery, it tells me "Install success" then I reboot and it stays on the bootlogo.
For information, I can't access the oem unlock menu if needed, but when I ask the oem device info it says unlocked. The phone is detected by the computer sometimes with unknown device and sometimes correctly with the qualcomm drivers..
I have a back up made from TWRP, I can access the device by the fastboot mode, it seems that all the operations written here worked but it doesn't install or even boot on TWRP..
Thanks for your help guys.

Start by seeing if you can fastboot flash stock recovery from any 2.X.X OOS. Then fastboot flash twrp 3.0.2. If your on new bootloader meaning latest ROMs or OOS3 then you need to boot into 3.0.2 and from there you can flash IMG of twrp 3.0.3. Make sure you boot right back into recovery after flashing any twrp or it won't stick. This worked for me when I lost my recovery twice but always remember at your own risk. Not responsible if you make your phone into a paper weight.
Fix It!

I want to access /data/system/users//settings_ssaid.xml to know what my game unique id is.
But after some research i learned that i have to root to able to get there but i have almost zero knowledge about it.
Are there any guide to root Redmi Note 10 from the scratch? Thanks.

Hi, I'm on official global ROM 12.5.3.0 RKGMIXM
And i turned on OEM Unlocking in developer mode yesterday (Which is confuse me a little a guide said i have to wait for 7 days for this but mine is nothing it's just switched to on)
OEM Unlocking is only one of the steps, but it does not unlock the bootloader. File a request with Xiaomi.
unlock bootloader
i recommend only booting to twrp, not flashing it
flash magisk 23
hide magisk

Why do you recommend to only booting to TWRP instead of flashing it?

because the twrp developer instruction is to booting , not flashing

Aside of that instruction, actually is it 'dangerous' if we install the TWRP? What 'bad things' would/may happen if we install it? (Because I see some guides about installing it on RN10, like this one for example, and I was almost followed that guide).
Risk of bootloop

Risk of bootloop and fastboot loop... because this twrp is modded to be booted and then flashed (you can found the option in advanced)
One time i faced a fastboot loop once i flashed directly the twrp , that's why i recommend booting it first and then , flashing

Yes, I mean that, (booting it first then flashing,.. (the TWRP right?).. I think the guide (which the youtube link I attached above) is also told to do that, right? (Or do I misunderstand this?)

Please confirm these;
*So we can:
Use TWRP only temporarily, only to root the phone (by flashing Magisk v23),
and then,
back to using the stock recovery on our RN10 afterward,
even if the RN10 is already rooted?
**If the answer for my question above is yes, then (in RN10 condition of Unlocked Boot Loader, Rooted, Stock MIUI & Stock Recovery) ;
Would we still get official OTA Update from Xiaomi (and can download and install the update- as how it's like before rooting the phone)?
Thank you in advance
It's an unnecessarily complicated procedure. Just flash a modified boot.img for your Miui using fastboot from your PC. If you don't have the ability to modify the boot.img on another rooted phone yourself, request a modified boot.img with the exact update version of your Miui here.

Thanks again, (and maybe I will try your suggestion later).. but (sorry)... your reply doesn't answer my questions.
(I think my questions are very clear and probably very easy to be answered by someone who has experience/knowledge about it (like you?).. no?)
Forgive my nooby questions.
But I really want to know as much as I can (especially about the answer for some questions I have inside my head about the matter, like I asked above),.. before executing doing something about my phone.
oops... I'm sorry for double send
In the past I rooted Miui and then continued to get OTA updates. However, this cannot be confirmed for all versions of Miui. Each new update changes the phone software and so what worked before may not work today.

Hi, I'm unlocked my phone and installed the orange fox it's the custom recovery right? Because it say so.
If yes, By Flash Magisk ZIP how to do that? Please explain the detailed steps, Thanks.
First of all, I would like to point out that Magisk (root) is a security risk. Without understanding the issues, the phone is more easily exploitable.
To install, just download the magisk file with the ZIP extension. In recovery, select the install option and select this file. Once installed, exit recovery and boot the system. Once the system boots, use magisk and complete the installation it requests.

the answer above is right ... but i would suggest to flash Orange Fox zip and then Magisk zip... to avoid problems
isn't there decrypt.zip for RN10?
How to decrypt this phone?
I usually did that along with rooting with my android phones before this.
Edit:
Update:
It's ok now I understand how, after watching this video.
