Root / rooting for Xperia E4 (E2105 'Jasmine')
EASY ROOTING PROCESS + REPLACE KINGROOT WITH SUPER SU!!
[this procedure might also work with E4g and E4 Dual but I have no way to verify it]
I'm starting this thread because I followed other methods, without success, and this process worked for me (5th September 2015) and it's relatively easy to do.
It succeeds in rooting the latest firmware (24.0.A.5.14) and replacing the KingRoot junk apps (which I don't want on my phone) with SuperSU
I have a Xperia E4 (E2105) and a PC running on Windows 7 (64 bits)
before anything else:
-- I backed up all my important data/info/photos/messages/chats/etc.
-- I went to Google Play and bought Super SuMe, but didn't install it, they advise to only install it AFTER you gain root with KingRoot. The developer has a thread here in XDA where you can get the APK for free(?), but I'm not sure if it's the latest version, and I wanted to support their work so I paid for it.
Now, my steps to root the E4:
You might want to skip to POINT 2 if you already have the latest firmware (24.0.A.5.14)
-- I downloaded and installed Flashtool. Started flashtool (not 64 bit, just the 'normal' 32 bit flashtool)
-- from inside Flashtool I ran Xperifirm and searched for a 24.0.A.5.14 firmware (the latest one, at the moment) for my phone, in the geographical area of my choice

}
-- flashed my phone with the chosen firmware.
-
POINT 2
-- after flashing the firmware to your phone unplug the cable, turn the phone ON and acquire 'Developer' status: >> go to the phone settings/About phone/scroll down to bottom and press 'Build number' 10(?) times
-- go to the previous screen into the new "Developer options" menu and check "USB debugging"
-- Now on your PC go to the KingRoot site and download their program for Windows (I tried using just the APK on my phone but it failed to root it, the Windows program was successful)
-- KingRoot might install garbage on your PC (or worse) so it might be a good idea to create a restore point in Windows now, that you can revert to after using and uninstalling KingRoot on your PC
-- After installing it I started KingRoot on my PC and connected the cable to my phone. When KingRoot recognized my phone it showed me on my computer screen how to allow for debugging. You follow the instruction (you press 1 button on your phone) then on your PC you press the button to Root and wait. In my case it worked at the 1st try, but my phone restarted in the middle of the process.
-- After it told me it had rooted my phone successfully I unplugged the cable, went to Google play on my phone and downloaded/installed the Super SuMe app (which I had bought earlier)
-- Super SuMe has to be started twice (2 times) to fully work. So start it once, wait for it to close, and then start it again. My paid version of Super SuMe worked. If you downloaded the APK from the developer thread on XDA make sure you already have the APK available on your memory card, ready to be installed.
-- I was even able to update SuperSU successfully (I've read in other threads some people complaining they couldn't do it)
-- So now I have the latest firmware (24.0.A.5.14) on my phone (Xperia E4 E2105), it is rooted and I have the latest SuperSU yay!
I'm an Android Noob and probably won't be able to answer queries that some people might have.
I'm just posting this method because it worked for me and it was fairly easy to do, so it might help someone else in my situation and without much technical knowledge.
I just found out a small app get's left behind on your phone that you might want to get removed, called KrHelper4Pc, I'm sure it's from KingRoot
It is not visible on your app drawer (no icon showing), I uninstalled it with the Titanium Backup app but you can use a similar app
But my Xperia is not rooting with king root it shows error on 90%
Sent from my E2115 using XDA Free mobile app
Having error rooting too, and Kingroot force close when opening...
Update : working after few tries!! Didn't do anything particular for it
when im connected in flash mode , device after 5 sec disconnected.. any solution for this ? ( i have the latest version of flash tool)
E4
My xperia is trying some scrips to complite but evry time faill on 90%! See pic
Flashing is NOT optional for rooting proccess!
Thank you for your post but you missed a point, you have to flash the device in order to use exploits, otherwise KingRoot or similar apps won't work.The firmware version doesn't matter.
Please note that flashing proccess is necessary for exploits that KingRoot uses to work.That doesn't matter if you have already the latest version mentioned in the post (24.0.A.5.14) you have to flash your device.To enter flash mode apply the following steps :
1- Turn off your device
2- Press the volume DOWN button.
3- Plug in USB cable.
It's beneficial to mention that KingRoot is an aggressive app that installs its own su binaries which are outdated. In order to replace KingRoot with SuperSU you can use the app called SuperSU-Me. Version 6.7(64) worked for me.

Ok. This worked for me on ZTE KIS 3 MAx (aka digicel 800)
1. get MTK Engineering Mode,
2. install and select MTK settings and swipe across the main screen (to the left) untill until u reach log and debug (ithink) then tap on User2 root.
3. Run user2root.
4. Then install Kingoroot, on a windows PC
5. Connect phone ( pllz ensure that usb-debug and all the usually on phone setting are done i.. not to worry if you havent kingoroot will walk you
through it)
6. Run KingoRoot.... select "Root".. it may also give the option to select Root again , as the user2root will be detected a root. If so please select Root Again.
7. Once process has started, do not unglug phone unless it states either (rooted or failed)
Mine said successful.. Rooted.
I checked with root checker basic.. and it said the phone was not
I restarted the phone and ran root checker again. this time it said ROOT verified.
allow for SU# and you are good.
(have dat Digicel)

Thank you - that worked perfectly for the ZTE Kis3 max that I had and wanted to root.
Without the steps in the "MTK engineering app" Kingo 1.4.3 was not able to root the phone but after applying the steps you described it worked with the Windows version after enabling USB Debugging mode.

Just replacing the Kingo apps with SuperSU almost caused the whole operation to fail. That might be the task for another day ... currently I want to use Link2SD to free up some space and update all system applications.
So first of all I have no idea if anyone has ever made a post on how to root the G3 (LS990) so I decided to go ahead and make one (to be helpful). This post was made on 3/4/15 check the date and make sure that this isn't to outdated
Code:
[COLOR="Red"]IF YOU DO THIS, YOU ARE AT THE RISK OF BRICKING YOUR PHONE/ BREAKING IT I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO YOUR DEVICE(S) READ CAREFULLY!!!!!!!!![/COLOR]
1) Make sure that you are on ZV4 you can check this by going into settings>About phone>Software Info>Software version. If it is not on ZV4 then you should refer to the help post below on help down grading.
2) If you are in fact on ZV4 then you need to enable "Unknown sources". This will allow you to download/install the application needed to root our device. Go into Settings>Security>Unknown sources make sure to check this and agree (press "ok") to the pop up.
3) Once you have enabled that go to this xda link and install this app on your phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/orig-development/root-stump-root-lg-g3-sprint-verizon-t2850906. Download the latest copy and pull down your status bar and tap on the notification. You will be brought to a install menu now press "install" a security pop up will show up. Just say ok to it and allow the app to keep installing once it has installed press the "open" button.
4) Once inside the app press "Grind" a pop up will come up telling about brute force. Just say ok the reason for this is that our model (LS990) isn't officially supported but brute forcing will work so just let it run. Then turn up your volume and listen to the music good. Once it is done it will tell you to reboot, go ahead and reboot. Once you have gotten back into your system download this app from the playstore: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.supersu&hl=en this app will give you root access/ mange it. Once it is open you might be prompted to update the binary go ahead and update it. You will have two options "normal" or twrp/cwm" press "normal" and then reboot once it is completed:

.
5) Go to this thread and download the latest bumped twrp: http://forum.xda-developers.com/spr...recovery-twrp-touch-recovery-2-8-2-0-t2966096 make sure to download the .img file this is needed so that you can flash recovery. The is two ways of doing this 1) running commands from your computer or 2) using a app from the playstore called flashify: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cgollner.flashify&hl=en to make things simple we will use flashify.
6) Make sure the .img is in your download(s) folder and open flashify agree to the disclaimer and then grant it root access. Then click "Recovery Image". Then click "Choose a file" and navigate to your .img and select it. It will come up with a pop up just press "Yup" and it will flash. Now you can go ahead and be done just press the option to reboot to recovery. Or below I will link some videos with a how to boot into recovery so you can watch that to find the hardware key method. Or you can use this app it will reboot you really easily: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.siriusapplications.quickboot&hl=en.
(Thanks goes to the creators of all of the work I have listed above! Make sure to thank them (thumbs up:good and maybe buy pro's/donate.)

Lollipop ZV8 ROOT (MAYBE)
Here is the link for the new ZV8 lollipop root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/guide-root-method-lg-devices-t3049772 I have no idea if it works so just read carefully. If someone can PM me and tell me if it works that would be great. Also since the thread has instructions I will likely not make a guide.
How to down grade:
If you want to root as of (3/12/15) then you have to be on ZV4 or ZV8(look above) Some phones may come updated on newer builds and you may have to down grade them use this thread to accomplish this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/spr...de-how-to-restore-sprint-lg-g3-ls990-t2852042
How to boot into recovery via hardware keys (Do the same thing just press volume up rather then volume down):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=waFrzMQivaI
How do I unlock my bootloader?:
As of now bump is the bootloader unlock without it we would not have a bootloader unlock. So pretty much (for the most part) by just installing the bumped recovery your bootloader is unlocked.
Can I update my phone once it is rooted?:
No, You cannot download a system update and update the phone. This will likely break it or really mess it up . What you have to do is install a rom that is all ready rooted and on the build you want I.E: "BarePop it is rooted" ZV8 or "BarRin" rooted ZV6.
For ZVA Phones
For phones that are running ZVA instead of ZV4 or ZV8, this tutorial helped me finally get rooted:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-lg-g3/general/one-click-root-zva-t3141390
Check under About phone > Software info > Software version to see what you have. It will be the last 3 characters after LS990 for Sprint phones.
Hello I'd like to root my Medion x5004 (Stock Android 5.0.2) so I can disable onsceen buttons, but I can't find any tutorials to do that.
Specs: To prevent spam on the XDA forums, ALL new users prevented from posting outside links in their messages. After approximately 10 posts, you will be able to post outside links. Thank you for understanding!

Hi!
So we basicly have 2 threads for this phone. This one and that one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/medion-x5004-root-t3276048/post65266591#post65266591
I have posted there already, on what I've already tried. I will continue my quest to rooting.
I shall win :silly:
Cheers.
hey guys..
i need some part of this device..actually i need s5004 but maybe they can use the same parts..
is anyone can help me pls..?
Found solution!
With Kingroot (kingroot.net) it's possible to root X5004.
You just have to download the App, if it works too with Windows... idk
But with the app its working (Medion X5004 -MD99238):angel:
It´s also possible to root with Kingoroot at windows it takes a while but after reboot it was rooted. Works also fine for Medion X5020 (Same Phone but 32GB Flash)
[solved]Medion X5004 Root
Using Kingo Root program
Downloading KingoRoot manufacture and installation and start-up
Connect the device to your computer via microUSB cable (I prefer the original cable)
Wait until Kingo detects vashe mobile device Android
We get the root
press Root (At the bottom in the middle)
We get the root
Wait until the process is completed and the device is reset
Do not forget to check on root
custom rom
So what about custom rom now? I rooted but there is no custom rom
Anyone looking to root Medion devices; kingo root does work. I've done three of them now, none have rooted on the first attempt. The most success I've had was in this order:
Dowload kingo root for windows
Download kingo root app. Use google, not playstore or you'll end up with kingroot, which would also work but annoyingly takes over your phone and not easy to remove.
Download root checker app
Developer options enabled, usb debugging and oem enabled
In settings/security allow for unknown apps
Now with a cable proven to properly connect your phone to your PC through USB, run the kingo root program. The phone can reboot a few times during the process, don't mess with it. It will either hang at 90% and say unsuccessful or give (false) hope of 'root successful'. If it says successful, run the root checker app to make sure, but don't be disappointed if it says the phone isn't rooted.
Now, restart the phone and run the Kingo root app. The fastest I've had one of these phones root was 1x root through windows and 2x root through the app. Apparently these devices take more effort to allocate the scripting correctly.
If you've run the phone through kingo root windows once and twice through the android app and still no success; run it through the windows root again. Eventually it will root with one of the two.
So just repeat: 1x windows, 2x apk, 1x windows, 2x apk until your root checker gives you the green light. Don't trust kingo root itself when they say root successful, always check it with a root checker app.
Good luck. Patience in a virtue.
Hey Guys,
tried to install LineageOS on my mothers tablet, but forgot to unlock bootloader first, so i got a softbricked device like some other guys here.
Because i haven´t found a solution/tutorial here, i tried some things out and now i got a working device
Unbrick The Brick
I found a version in this forum, which installs a ofw -> https://w3bsit3-dns.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=545744&st=2260

Unfortunetly the Unblock Bootloader APK from Asus ended up with an error , i tried a lot with adb install *.apk and so on, but nothing worked out... Therefore i installed the latest OFW
You need an SD-Card and the latest Version (https://www.asus.com/Tablets/ASUS_MeMO_Pad_FHD_10_ME302KL/HelpDesk_Download/)
-> For me it is the "ASUS MEMo Pad FHD 10 LTE Firmware: V10.10.3.39 Only for WW SKU (Android 4.2.2)"
Copy the unzipped zip (you will see what i mean) to the SD-Card and unname it to "APQ8064_SDUPDATE.zip"
Insert the micro SD card into the tablet.
Turn off the tablet.
Press and hold Volume Up + Power Key, wait until the bootloader logo appears, and then the FW update process begins. (if this don´t work out try the APK "Recovery Reboot")
After the completion the device will automatically reboot.
Perform the factory data reset.
IUnlock Bootloader with the official APK

My advice to anyone trying to revive this old tablet is to just buy a new one, no matter what the cost and you will come out ahead in comparison to time wasted trying to resurrect this old beast. Still if you are like me and perhaps when you arrive here are "already in way too deep", here are some hints to get you going. I'm 2 weeks into playing with this thing but making good progress. Wishing I'd just bought a new one but since I usually forget everything I learned dealing with ROM builds a few weeks after I set it aside,I can't say I learned a valuable lesson so I'm not sure of the benefit.
First of all, to ensure you don't brick this thing, be sure to RESTORE TO FACTORY before unlocking. Then once set to factory defaults and you are configuring it anew again, when you get to the screen asking to sign into Google, then don't do it because if you do, when you run the unlock routine it will go into a loop asking for your Google ID and password. Then when you sideload in the Assus unlock app and also accept any upgrades that Asus provides if at this point you have never logged into Google, the only requirement of this unlock routine is that you have a working wifi accessed so you will never get into the Google ID loop if you don't have a Google sign-in account set up.
So, I've loaded every version, evaluated them and rejected all but 14.1 due to some quirk or another. My mistake was loading multiple zips after the unnlock (including Gapps up front, a no-no in my opinion) and this has left me yet to load any of the Gappas package yet, discovering that is what gave me my black screen initially. I now have a full suite of mapping software loaded and working plus many basic language tools and other apps that support traveling and using this device as a guide. I have side loaded about 25 apps and all is well so far without the play store. I have the GPS working (couldn't get it to work in 13.x and 15.x versions) and additionally I was able to load Magisk systemless, Xposed V25 systemless, XprivacyLUA and a long list of Xposed modules that all work perfectly, plus I have a functional root. I haven't tried any super secure apps like banking because I haven't even set up playstore. So right now I have a great functioning device that is not so Googled-up. I am not sure if I will load the 7.1 Gapps at this point now but I plan to get everything working on this device I can without Google Playstore and the other Google suite and see just how far I can get without Google apps. I do miss the voice typing, however.
Another thing that will get you confused with this tablet is the first time after flashing it with the TWRP recovery and just as you enter fastboot reboot on your computer and press the enter key for the very first time, you have to hold in the power button and up-volume button on the tablet at the same time you reboot with fastboot and if you don't when you reboot after the flash of the new recovery, the stock ROM will revert the TWRP recovery.img back to stock. I know, it sounds hard to believe but if you flash it and don't get the TWRP menu on the next recovery boot, this is what happened.

link not working
Hello Everyone!
I need urgent help from you all because I am currently stuck in a very bad situation. Please please please!! Help me to get out of this. Let me start from the beginning of whatever I did. This is going to be a very long post so please bear with me.
Why did I try to root my device?
I have Realme 1 which works on Android 9 and does not support internal screen recording. So I thought rooting would help me and I would be able to create gaming videos.
1st Phase:
I researched about how to root my device.
I came to know that first I’ll have to unlock my bootloader.
I tried to unlock my bootloader and when I was running the necessary commands like fastboot reboot, it simply showed, “Waiting for device…..”
Now confused, I went to the Device Manager and uninstalled Android and its drivers from the category of other devices by mistake. Now, my problem was that, how to pass commands to my device?
Next, I deleted everything, and started from scratch. This time, I connected my device (via the same USB cable) and I did something (I don't exactly remember what I did, but ultimately it lead me to Windows Update, where I clicked on View Optional Updates and updated the driver. I am attaching a screenshot of what I had installed.
Next, I downloaded platform tools, extracted them and in the address bar typed cmd and did the following checks to ensure that my device can receive commands.
When device was powered on:
adb devices
Returned: _________ device
Next command:
adb fastboot (Something like that which took it to the fastboot mode)
Next Command:
fastboot devices
Returned: _________ fastboot
Satisfied that I was going on well, I unlocked the bootloader using the respective commands.
2nd Phase:
Now I knew, my bootloader was unlocked, so I did the next step.
I switched to fastboot mode.
Downloaded boot_patched.img for Realme 1 C.50
Next, I pasted it into the platform tools folder.
Next, booted my device into the fastboot mode, and gave the flashing command.
Confirmed it on my device using volume up key.
Gave fastboot reboot command to reboot my device.
Downloaded Magisk Manager and rooted my device successfully.
Downloaded RootChecker app to be sure and got the positive result.
I downloaded the apps I needed.
Problem Phase:
I had downloaded a banking app but it didn’t work because my device was rooted, so I searched, “How to hide root from banking apps?”
I came to know that the solution for this was on Magisk Manager itself. Magisk Hide
So, I opened the Magisk Manager and I was shown a prompt to download something (Or maybe I downloaded something from the settings? It was something like system host module or something like that) Now I don’t exactly remember whether my device rebooted or not, but let me continue.
So, I went to settings, enabled Magisk Hide, selected the app from which I had to hide root and opened the app. It didn’t work.
I searched the internet and saw that I had to reboot my device as well.
After I did that I faced a more serious problem. The app was still not working and my sim cards were disabled.
Now I panicked, I did the ultimate thing for which I had rooted my phone, I downloaded the game and the screen recorder. I chose the internal sound recording option, it told me to download some Magisk Module for it to work. So I did it.But it still didn’t work.
Now I was sad, I didn’t know what to do. Then ultimately I opened my RootChecker app and check the root status of my device and you guys won’t believe what I saw.
" No proper root access granted "
Super Problem Phase:
I decide that I’ll unroot my device. So, I set down to work.
I got to know that I had to uninstall the Magisk Manager completely. I did so and my device rebooted.
There came a wave of relief, my sim cards started to work.
I thought that my device was unrooted now, so I opened my banking app and it showed: “Your device is rooted! You can not proceed further.”
I was confused, I checked the rootChecker and it clearly said the same thing. No root access.
So, I searched the web again and I was told that if I remove some files like su and one more file (I don’t exactly remember the name) then my device will be unrooted. I donloaded the es file explorer but didn’t find those files.
I searched the internet again and found something new. If I reset my device, then the root will go away. I was very happy. I did a factory reset of my device and this time I didn’t check the banking app, I did one more thing which I was not supposed to.
Ultra problem phase:
I got to the fastboot mode using the same commands in the adb terminal and decided to lock the bootloader. I thought that the app had detected that my bootloader was locked so that may be the reason it was not working. I gave the command:
fastboot flash lock
(it was something like this, I don't quite remember)
I confirmed that I wanted to lock my bootloader.
And that led me to my doom.
I rebooted my device using the command.
My device never started.
After the logo, or to say while booting I was shown this error:
"The current image(boot/recovery) have been destroyed and can not boot. Please flash the correct image or contact customer care to fix it."
Then I though maybe I could just download the original boot and recovery file again then it would be all fine. I have those files and everything, when now I try to give those commands, they just show "Waiting for device...." Moreover the computer doesn't detect my device. The only thing I can do is just go to recovery mode.
Guys, I told you all everything that I knew please give me a detailed solution to the problem. I am also attaching some images so that you can see what exactly has happened.
Thanks in advance.

Sorry to say, but ... flashing unofficial/custom firmware and rooting has risk of bricking your device. And locking the bootloader was not the right/, best option
Maybe you have a chance to get it working again by flashing a complete firmware to it. Hopefully it will be successful after locking the bootloader
