Rooting Method for Xperia Z Ultra Lollipop V5.1 .
What You Need :
5.1 .
Root & Recovery Pre-Installed .
Flashtool & PC .
MAKE A BACKUP FIRST
How To :
As a Start, You Gonna have Lollipop 5.0 with Root & Recovery installed .
Move 5.1 to firmwares folder .
Download This SuperSu Flashable file and move it to SDCard & Internal Storage .
Open Flashtool .
Select The ROM .
Exclude Kernel ONLY .
Flash the ROM .
Boot the Phone and enter Recovery ASAP .
Install the ZIP File, if Flashtool didn't wipe Internal storage yet, then install it from Internal storage, otherwise from SD Card .
Power Off .
Open Flashtool .
Select 5.1 .
Exclude All expect the Kernel .
Un-tick Data / Cache and the third option too .
Flash .
Boot ! .
As a feedback from my friend, he said there was not problem with 5.0 kernel on 5.1 system for first boot ( recovery entering only ) .
Please feedback, and don't forget the backup !
is it 5.1 or 5.1.1?
The quick way to root any ROM, including the newly released 5.1.1 is, if you have an unlocked bootloader:
- Hotboot any custom kernel with a recovery (fastboot)
- Flash SuperSU
- Reboot
If you want CWM/TWRP:
- Flash NUT's Dual Recovery kernel through fastboot
- Reboot
You're now rooted, and you have recovery.
NOTE: If you have no idea how to use fastboot, then you can use QuickIMG. It lets you flash .IMGs very easily without needing to use any commands. Do however read the instructions provided before you use it.
It's also a good idea to learn how to get out of a sticky situation in case something goes wrong. If you want to be on the safe side when testing kernels, hotboot, or boot an IMG/kernel instead of flashing. Once you see that the kernel is indeed working, and you're not experiencing any bootloops or red LED blinking, then you can safely flash it to disk.
Note: Hotbooting means that the device will only boot the kernel once, so it doesn't really flash it to the device. Flashing a kernel writes it to the device, making it permanent until you replace it by flashing a different kernel yourself.

The way for locked bootloader not for unlocked .
Anyway, anyone tested it ?
How about using the prf (pre rooted firmware) tool for locked bootloader?

I Didn't see a pre-rooted firmware, that's why i put this guide, if someone can do it and upload the firmware that's would be awesome .
hi there. I just want to say that after following your guide I could not get in to recovery after flashing the 5.1.1 ftf minus the kernel. when turning the phone on it goes straight to normal boot but it doesn't. it goes in to a boot loop. some how it removes dual recovery and can't flash SuperSU there for loosing root and yes I was rooted with dual recovery. could you explain with more details how to please because I did as you said and didn't work

Hello,
Many people have problem with bricked device because they complied many diffrent tutorials and broke their G2.
I will explain you how to root stock rom/update bootloader and back to stock via lg flashtool.
Perform operations step by step
Okay, so first thing - ROOT STOCK LG ROM.
1. Stump ROOT (Without usb cable, working with 20h ROM)
Stump Root v1.2 (Newest version)
-->> Download Stump ROOT v1.2 <<--
Go to settings>general>security and check "Unknown Sources" to install external APKs.
Now install Stump ROOT app from download link. (In installation progress Android will ask you for install permisions because this integrate in system code. OFC ACCEPT)
Open Stump ROOT and press GRIND, then wait sec and press BruteForce, after 1-2 min your device will restart and now u got ROOT, u need install -->> SuperSU <<-- from market.
2. Install TWRP for your device. (Autorec)
-->> Download AUTOREC <<--
Okay, it's easiest step, just install Autorec application (Be sure it's for your model in file name!)
Open, accept and flash.
This way will downgrade your bootloader and kernel. After device reboot u have already ROOT and TWRP.
Now u can update first your TWRP to newest 2.8.5.1
-->> HERE THEARD WITH NEW TWRP <<--
If you download new TWRP, then u can easy flash it via -->> Flashify <<-- app from market. There select recovery>zip and select your new TWRP, it will reboot device to recovery and flash. (BE SURE IT'S FOR YOUR D802 MODEL!!)
3. Update bootloader. (IMPORTANT!!! U ALWAYS NEED UPDATE BOOTLOADER WITH VERSION ROM WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE, IF YOUR ROM V20H, USE 20H BOOTLOADER, IF YOU HAVE 20D, THEN USE 20D BOOTLOADER OR UPDATE YOUR DEVICE TO 20H!!)
Now u need becareful, because it is easy way to brick device if you will not perform tutorial.
-->> Download v20h bootloader <<--
Download bootloader to your memory storage in device, and open flashify, press Menu button and Reboot Recovery, when it will reboot to TWRP, press INSTALL and select bootloader v20h zip file in path you downloaded it.
Now reboot device and Enjoy ROOTED device with newest bumped TWRP and newest bootloader.. AND NO BRICK )
Enjoy your powerfull device.
I will update theard with new steps like install kernels, back to stock step by step, easiest way to secure your device.
I know there are many tutorials, but we have still many people on XDA with problems like QS_BULK device, 9008, secure verify problem etc etc. So this is way to bypass every danger things.
Im not creator of any used in this tutorial mods, i just complied few theards to few easy steps

Hi good Job!
I have Two questions.
Can i upgrade my twrp Version with flashing the zip file in twrp?
Which Bootloader version use cyanogenmod 12?
Thank you!
A few additional info for the D802 variant:
-You don't NEED to change boot loader if you're fully on stock unless:
--You plan to use AOSP Lollipop
--You use any JB based ROMs (they should say in their respective threads for the D802)
-If you stick with the KK boot loader, only flash BUMPed flashables (they should state if they use this method)
-I recommend to use Blastagator's TWRP as it has thermal protection that stock TWRP doesn't have
-Only flash ROMs/any other flashables while the phone is cool
-Most ROMs can use the KK modem unless stated otherwise
Correct me on any misunderstood/incorrect information

Yes. If you installed AutoRec and u are able to open recovery, you can flash via older twrp. It is no problem

I just wrote this tutorial for Stock, and it's always good to have new stuff. It's safe with bumped twrp and it shouldn't make any problem with device.
Thank you guys!
So i dont need to change my Bootloader to Flash cm12?
Installed twrp via autorec and im on Stock kk.

Ok, good. I liked your tutorial, pretty informative.
Hello, i'm stuck at this step :
"3. Update bootloader. (IMPORTANT!!! U ALWAYS NEED UPDATE BOOTLOADER WITH VERSION ROM WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE, IF YOUR ROM V20H, USE 20H BOOTLOADER, IF YOU HAVE 20D, THEN USE 20D BOOTLOADER OR UPDATE YOUR DEVICE TO 20H!!)

Edit : i flashed the rom without KK bootloader and it worked
-> I Was on 20H. I rooted, installed twrp, updated twrp. I've flashed 20d KK bootloader and now, secure booting error
I have access to download mode. What can i do do boot normally ? (i know i could probably flash a kdz but i don't really want to)
i cannot enter into the twrp by pressing the vol down + power, it just ask me whether i want to format, this means i still do not have twrp ?

Well if you cant enter your recovery or system then you have to flash kdz.

You already flashed TWRP right? If so then you need to confirm it twice with the power button. It says like format data/factory reset but it will boot into the custom recovery.
please help me...i have a lg g2 d802 32gb model ..its a traded phone...when i got the phone it was running 4.4.2 kitkat the phone was rooted bt there was no suprrueser app i installed the app and then i flashed recovery with autorec now whenever i open my data or wifi and use my phone for some minutes my screen becomes unresponsive is it due to the jellybean bootloader that the autorec installed or something else please help me...
Recovery combo gone
The thread seems like dead now, but maybe I get help .
I flashed 20H and now there is the recovery combo, when I try pwr + volume down it simply reboots . The recovery is instaled, but I only can access it from software (that now is corrupted, so, soft brick).
Wrong combo

You're not soft bricked, it's just that key combo changes in 20H, new combo to enter recovery is vol down + power key, As lg logo appears, release keys and press vol up + vol down and you can easily access twrp
and i ran intro bootloop.. help!
I'll update theard soon to aosp/lollipop support, bootstacks explains etc.
Wysłane z mojego LG-D802
So I updated to a new ROM and I have damaged my recover or I need to update recovery somehow.
The ROM launches and I have ADB support but not google play services or root working
I can access my bootloader (blue LED)but I don't know how to fastboot a new recovery from there
When I go to access recovery (pink LED) the recovery never loads. It used to be a CWM/TWRP dual boot, neither are working.
So I am guessing I need to flash a boot.img from the bootloader using fastboot? I can't find any boot.imgs anymore. Just all this one click **** that doesn't work at all for some reason.
Advice?
On which ROM are you?
Is it AOSP, CM or Stock based?
Is your bootloader unlocked?
If you are on windows, try using nuts dual recovery installer (if you are on stock based rom). But before u use it, u should install ADB system-wide or try to put it into a folder directly on C:/
If you are on e. g. CM12.1 you need to "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" (you find them in the General Section)

Ok, so lots of info here you might want. =)
Yes Bootloader unlocked. I WAS on paranoid ROM kitkat. It pushed a LP OTA update, which silly me, I installed. So right now the phone is on an AOSP based LP ROM, coming from a KK ROM. There was a dual recovery approperiate for that PA KK ROM installed before.
Anyway, I downloaded a recovery from the link you posted and I am currently installing a backup from before I did all these silly and naive things. =p
My next project... How do I go back to stock so I can try a none AOSP ROM? (o:'
two ways :
- you can download a stock rom ftf file from the official thread here, then use flashtools to flash that file (a more complicated version would be to create your own ftf file using xpirifirm and flashtools), OR
- You can download a pre-rooted zip (also available on the forums here) and install that through your current recovery.
Either way make sure you do a full wipe, stock and AOSP don't like each other much from my experience.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/general/ftf-cutomized-23-1-0-726-cda-1281-9809-t3082166
1. Go here and download the 23.1.A.1.28 FTF and prerooted zip. (It's the latest stock firmware version) and copy the zip file on your phone.
2. Go to recovery
3. Do a factory reset (wipe)
4. Flash the prerooted zip
5. Shut down your phone (NO REBOOT!)
6. Go to Flashtool -> Flashmode and load the FTF file
7. remove everything in "wipe"
8. on "exclude" tick the following: PARTITION, TA and SYSTEM
9. Click on flash and connect your phone via flashmode and let it flash.
10. Disconnect your phone and start
11. You are done. let the phone boot and settle and reboot one time. Now you are on stock with recovery and root.
So the OFFICIAL 6.0.1 is already out and this is not the BETA version. It's for consumer release.
So how do you get to this eh?
NOTES: Flashtool can be used for both LB/UB. You won't lose DRM keys or unlock bootloader if you flash via flashtool.
1. Install Flashtool (get it here: http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php).
2. There is a XperiFirm option there which would allow you to download official FTF files.
3. Navigate your way to Z3 Compact and grab the D5803 version US Variant (since this is configured for GLOBAL-LTE but i might still need to test bands). Or just grab anything you want there as long as it's version: 23.5.A.0.570
3. Flash using flashmode (hit the lightning icon there).
Now there's this "WIPE" Box, you have 2 options!
- Check User data and App logs and hit flash -- this will factory reset phone so you better have a backup!
- Leave them UNCHECKED if you want to retain your apps from your previous STOCK ROM. (might automatically uninstall incompatible apps in the process).
Once it asks for your device to be connected. Do as it says (power down, then hold the vol. down button as you plug the phone in).
-- this should start flashing.
4. After the process you may now boot the phone and there you have it!
-- Things below require unlocked BL --
If you want root, you can use fastboot and TWRP 3.X (I've tested the TWRP version 3.0.2 on the 6.0.1 beta before)
send this command on fastboot:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery <your twrp img here>
and hit enter. It must return 'OKAY'.
Unplug phone then boot into recovery and flash your SuperSU.zip

If you have a locked BL, then root and install DualRecovery. There is an excellent thread here on XDA and you'll be on TWRP in no time. It also makes sure you'll have the drivers and flash tool and everything that you'll need for this already configured and ready to go.
If you have an unlocked BL, just go find TWRP and flash through fastboot.
Thanks OP!
P.S. I'm guessing for those with locked BLs, we can use PRFCreator and that FTF from Xperifirm to create a flashable, pre-rooted MM ROM...anyone tried? My Z3c is currently bricked (hopefully fixable) so I can't test at the moment.
Another DEV published a root method, both for the LB and UB:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/general/wip-sony-android-6-0-mm-t3337357/page1
Keep in mind that that method was used for the BETA version of the rom, but yeah it's more likely that it would work with the consumer release. I'll update the OP once I relock my BL and successfully gain root with it.
The UB method there has the same effect as mine
I could not get root with the method, i would get boot img failure on flashing superSU in twrp with unlocked BL but to solve the issue i just flashed the advanced kernel for 6.0.1 and superSU flashed fine..not sure if anyone else is having this problem but this method did not work for me.
Do I keep root with locked bootloader with this method ?
Title of this topic is confusing, it seems that you need BL unlocked to get root.

No you will lose root if you flash ftf on locked BL, you will need to root again using whichever method you used previously. If you flash an ftf file on ANY bootloader locked or unlocked it resets your phone to the contents of the ftf file.

I'm using BETA-SuperSU-v2.71-20160331103524.zip
However I was looking at the PRFCreator thread and it looks like if you add Recroot v2 as the SuperSU it should work. Not sure if it will give a recovery though.
EDIT: Okay. Didn't install the SuperSU binary properly but Kingroot could install the root though. Tried to remove it and replace with SuperSU and got a bootloop. However I have a cunning plan.
Xperia Z3 Compact - UB
I could not get TWRP recovery with the fastboot method.
I tried to install several "recoverys" but none are installed.
Help me please.

We have progress of sorts.
With prf creator add superSU and create the prerooted ROM.
In TWRP Wipe everything but SDcard and OTG
Install pre rooted ROM
Then Install RICDefieat.zip, byeselinux_flashable.zip, and BusyBox-v1.24.1-Stericson.zip
Power off the phone.
Open Flashtool
Load ftf of .570 and check the Exclude System box and flash the phone
Install TWRP using Z3C_MM_TWRP_Recovery_V2_By_Serajr
And that should be it.
Managed to get everything working bar the TWRP but I think that was my fault.
A download file of everything you need bar the ROM.

It seems that updating busybox to 1.24.1 stericson stops R/W permissions and the ability to access TWRP however it is easily fixed.
Hi.
I have a Xperia Tablet Z2 (SGP521) with Android 6.0.1 (build 23.5.A.0.570) without root, and I would like to make the root, how can I do?
Thanks in advance.
I'm sorry for my english.
Only way is:
- come back to original rom 4.4.2, using Flashtool http://www.flashtool.net/index.php
- root using Flashtool,
- flash TWRP http://nut.xperia-files.com/path/XZDualRecovery/Older_Releases/XZDualRecovery_2.8.21
- flash a prerooted rom using TWRP 2.8.21, http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2-tablet/general/prerooted-zip-vmo-ru-ua-kz-t3362729
- flash TWRP 3.0 can download from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/general/wip-sony-android-6-0-mm-t3337357 Recroot combined v 4
To go on recovery, at the vibration when you turn on your device, push volume down button and recovery will start
I made it all working fine

"Flash" means installing something to the internal memory.
You need to go back to a "rootable" version and after having your terminal rooted you can flash the latest rooted ROM.
Following the instructions on this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/xp...lipopprerooted231a128z2-tabletsgp511-t3100821 I suggest you:
Flash the Lollipop 23.1.A.1.28 firmware with Flashtool;
Unlock the bootloader (not sure it is strictly needed but better avoid potential issues) with Flashtool (use the Sony website to get the unlock code as the automatic retrieval of Flashtool did not work for me);
Root using the script mentioned in the thread;
Flash the custom recovery;
Flash the rooted 6.0.1 ROM.

You cant make the root with the flashtool! Copy the SuperSu (download newest zip) on your tablet (anywhere) and proceed with this: "TabZ2-lockeddualrecovery2.8.21-RELEASE.installer" you already downloaded from the tutorial. when you launch the "install.bat", the tablet will be rooted and twrp installed it auto-boot into twrp and now you can isntall your copied supersu zip then you can proceed with the tutorial
Got it fixed. In my first CWM Backup from the Dualrecovery Package (installer) was a working boot.img All fine now!
Here is the last version at the moment of the Maze alpha ROM (tested only in 4GB version)
It's a complete ROM, not an OTA update, it can be flashed using the provided TWRP 3.2.1 version, I ported from a Jemmini (many thanks) version for Bluboo S1.
Unfortunately, the TWRP cannot be flashed (issue with the touch panel), only launched by fastboot.
The ROM is the same as the v8 official one except that it is rooted using Magisk 15.2 and busybox 1.27.2 (thanks to osm0sis) is installed in /system/xbin
There is also a SPFlashTool clean version of this ROM, useful in case of troubles (as official: no root, no busybox)
1- Reboot you phone in fastboot mode : adb reboot bootloader
2- Flash the provided TWRP : fastboot flash recovery recovery_maze_alpha_4G_twrp-321.img
3- Reboot to TWRP recovery
4- copy in your SDCARD and install, in the running TWRP, the downloaded ROM V09 : Maze_Alpha_4GB_v09_TWRP.zip
The first boot take some minutes so be patient.
Here the SPFlashTool versions :
MAZE_Alpha_4GB_V09_SPFT.zip
Here, if needed, my V09 TWRP backup (new one from 21/04/2018) :
TWRP_BACKUP_MAZE_Alpha_A_V09.zip
Credits to Jemmini and Magisk team.

No it is already rooted.
Reboot your phone to android, and then install MagsikManager.apk
I am editing my post to give you a 100% working TWRP 3.2.1 for our beloved Maze Alpha 4G :victory:
thank you
After I installed this rom, and freezed the hot knot, baidu_location FM Radio, etc, the BT connection did not break.

Hi dreambo,
do You know if there's a stock rom for download from maze alpha x? I think it's important for normal users and developers to get one. For normal users it's important to have an option to reinstall stock version and for developers I think it's the source for custom roms (e.g. Lineage Os).
If You know a source, can You please give us a link?

No I not have any source, I am just a simple user like any other.
If I have any source or if I can make a ROM for MAZE Alpha X, I will do it and I will share it with every body, as I do until now for the MAZE Alpha 4/64
Hi
Sorry for stupid question, but is flashing with SP Flashtool an option to get root without wiping all data (unlike all other methods involving bootloader unlocking)?

Unfortunatly no. As you will see repeated times in the forum, people have issue with phone not booting after changing from stock recovery to twrp. This is do (most likely from) to verified boot setting. And by unlocking bootloader we can bypass verified boot. So without unlock you might get a successfull load into twrp, but android will not boot.
Hello to all and please help if you can.
After unlocking the bootloader and flash the rom I'v got orange state with bootloop. Then after trying to fix it (wrong way) and relock bootloader and got red state with bootloop. I read that flahing back to stock fix the problem but I have no success with the rom provided in this post, the v5 from maze, the latest flash tool and the maze alpha flash tool... in all cases I get DA error(maze flash tool) or DA MISHMATCH (sp flash tool). I also tried different pc and cable with no result and finaly can't get fastboot. If that helps I've got the same flash tool error before the procedure. Every help will be appreciated.

First unlock again your bootloader and use fastboot to flash boot, recovery and system partitions:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img.
Those partition images can be found in the ROM for SPFlashTool I have provide.
After that you can boot android normally.
If you any TWRP backup, you can restore it after flashing the TWRP.
Thanks a lot for your reply....
the problem is that i cant boot into fastboot to unlock bootloader....
the phone bootloops all the time, shows the red state alert and even with vol+ pressed the menu to choose recovery or fastboot doesn't apear... thanks again.
