I am trying to root Z2 Ver 5.1.1. I flashed it after looking at the other thread but I am struggling with rooting.
I would appreciate if someone can connect via TEam Viewer and help me root it!!!
Thanks

Hello my friends. I had an iPhone 4 and I just bought my Xperia Z2 5 days ago.
During these 5 days I am here in this amazing forum reading a lot about Android development. So lets go to my questions.
So. If i wanna have all access into my phone...
1. I must root it...
2. then make a TA partition backup to save DRM keys and not lose warranty...
3. If i want to change ROM and Kernel i can unlock bootloader after these steps.
is it correct?
And if one day I am tired of all this and i want to Clean restore my phone.
It means i want Stock rom, Stock kernel, non-rooted and locked bootloader, is it possible? if so, in what thread it explain what to do?
My Xperia Z2 is from Brazil model is D6543 and firmware is 17.1.A.2.55
thank you very much, I will probably root my phone soon after answers here. :good:

Yes all this is correct.
I believe your model number is D6503?
Some ROMs can be flashed on a locked bootloader as well.
Use this for rooting on locked bootloader:

Use this to get recovery on locked bootloader after rooting:

I can't find the tool for TA Backup yet so I recommend you check the Cross-Device development sub forum.

Ah I see that the only difference is a few LTE bands. Nothing else. I would recommend you ask in a ROM thread if the model number is supported or not before flashing a ROM
Hello,
I've been using these forums for years to root all my devices so thanks to all for the hard work.
I just want to know how I can root my Xperia Tablet Z SGP321. It's currently on Lollipop 5.0.2 (10.6.a.0.454).
I've looked everywhere and I can't find anything to simply root it, all I can find is for previous firmware and for other models.
Can someone please send me a link? My bootloader is is currently locked but an unlock is allowed so I can do that if required (did it with my Z2 and my Z3 so I know how).
Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you

Strange that you found nothing.
This firmware can be rooted with rootkitXperia | KingRoot or Vroot apps. I recommend the first one, as two other are chinese.

Thank you so much, I'll give this a go tomorrow.
I've never rooted a tablet before, only phones so I just wanted to make 100% sure about the build and stuff.
Just one more thing, the page says it's for 5.0, will it be ok on 5.0.2 or does the 0.2 not matter?
Edit: Ok, so I ran the rootkit and everything succeeded but now it still says there is no root access when I use Root Check and I can't run SuperSU as there is apparently no binary installed for it.
Any idea what the problem might be?
Edit 2: Ok nevermind, I finally managed to get it sorted. I followed the guide located here http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...ide-how-to-root-xperia-tablet-z-lp-5-t3253178 and all is well.
Thanks for the help
Hello guys,
I search on the forum but didn't find the answer for the Z5C.
I just want to know if today, can we root the phone without unlocking the bootloader ?
I mean by that, if it possible to get the root and not lost the DRM Key or other stuff like the quality of the camera ?
Maybe can I use a pre rooted rom with flashtool to get the root and no unlocking my bootloader ?
Thank you guys for answering me

No, never. Z5c is identical to Z5 and Z5P regarding base hardware and software. Sorry, but you did not search enough, 1000th post like this.
Hi, I'm pretty new to the android scene, I've looked for a few days if there is a possible way to unlock bootloader on an Xperia M4 Aqua 2306, the issue is my phone has Bootloader unlock allowed = No and didn't actually find if there is an actual way to do this.
Found a few threads talking about how to unlock the bootloader but it seems from some posts that it's not possible to unlock, I was wondering if anyone could help me figure it if there is any possibility to unlock since my phone is quite slow and would love to breath some life to it, any help would be greatly appreciated!

the onli way i was able to root my 2306 was to downgrade with flashtool to lolipop the vertion 26.1.A.1.112 ...the onli one old enough to root with kingroot the onli app i found to root lolipop ....but then none of the tutorial i read got me back to the last update without loosing root and aving to deal with the 100 of preinstalled app .....tryed to let it at lolipop but the phone is now extremly sloooooow
was able to get to recovery but then after looking at all custom rom .....they all need to be install with fastboot and they all stated that you need unlock bootloader so i stop trying the phone is not realy worth it anyway
I have a Sony Xperia 5 IV.

@innerbeing First, have you unlocked the bootloader via offcial Sony website, I assume you have if you're here?
Then follow this guide:
