zergRush can root xperia Arc .42 fw - Xperia Arc General

I followed this guide and it worked perfectly first time on my xperia Arc.

Should make life a lot simpler for those with a locked BL.

Great news! Thanks for testing Takyon!

@XperienceD, saved my hair lol. No matter what I tried, ota would not install 2.3.4.

Wow, that's a great news, but it's little late as I unlocked my BL a while ago, but nevertheless, it will make the life lot better for those who can't unlock the BL.

Sorry, missed that info, yes it works fine on Arc, that is the phone I have.
I will edit my post.

Yep, works fine on my Arc running 4.0.2.A.0.42, bootloader locked. Can access root using Root Explorer, so everything seems to be fine for now. Finally, no need to risk having the 0% battery problem anymore

Thank you very much! But before i´ll root my arc i´ve to ask if it is possible to reroot the phone without flashing firmware over seus?

Thanks, mate . I've been a bit apprehensive of rooting by unlocking the bootloader or downgrading by flashing.
This method ought to settle those qualms I've had about the above.
Cheers!

Wow, Flawless rooting and no more downgrading bs needed .
Awesome Find.

didnt work for me gave error after step 11 in guide was couldnt find mkdir /data/local/tmp" or something similar tried the step after that one same again tried repeating guide three times so just gave up.Is there not a one click one for arc tried one i think for samsung other day but to my suprise it didnt work. help please!

Works perfectly on 4.0.1.A.0.266 Generic UK Arc S\LT18i - thanks!

You forgot to type in exit you were still in the adb shell made the same error, afterwards it worked.
Downloading the SDK took longer than the rooting process. Worked great and easy using the noob guide, thx

Works perfectly on my LT15a running 2.3.4!

works perfectly on my Xperia Arc S (LT18i)

I got the following message :
C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>adb shell
error: device not found
What should I do?
please note that the device is connected to the PC and it recognize it!
Thanks a lot in advance

Z2 Root Exploit

Hey guys, this is a cross-post of sorts. I just got root execution on my stock Z2 Tablet and it appears that the same method should work for Z2 phone. I have a Z2 phone but just haven't tested it on that one yet.
Here is my Windows, Linux and Mac OSX script to grab the TA partition from Sony devices and deploy full root (superuser + reboot script):
https://mega.co.nz/#!jRB1FBJT!RKIi13TRj__mi7pKIGXP654CBJHi2gc0bIlYONcSfZQ [Update, v11]
Requirements:
1. Be on a firmware earlier than .402
Instructions:
1. Extract exploit.tar.gz and run ./root.sh (Linux) or root.bat (Windows)
2. Follow the instructions and your TA.img will be given and su will be deployed.
Features:
This disables SELinux, takes out sony_ric and then deploys su to /system/xbin/su
This works on ALL Sony Android mobile phones.
This can be run on any operating system.
Survives reboots [thanks to chargemon by DooMLoRD]
can't download the file. MEGA asking me about a decryption key.
Might be onto something here. This is for those that only want root and not an unlocked BL right?
Awesome work if it is working. Unfortunately I'm on .402
Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk
Really? how about on .55? If it'll work on that I'm rolling back the update. *gets .55 ftf*
Awesome if this in fact works on the Z2!
And who cares if it requires .69 and doesn't run under .402? The only reason I currently don't want to unlock my BL is the loss of my TA partition. So one could simply downgrade to .69, backup TA, upgrade to .402 again and unlock BL (and insert DRM keys again), right?

That's exactly what I did.
Technically it should work on 55 too but just not sure because I copy all the vendor libs from 69 tablet.
Someone could easily make a generic firmware that works on all phones with all firmwares but that's not my focus. I just wanted to get this out here and working for Sony because I'm surprised it isn't out already.

I'll have a go with it on .55, I've been having some problems with .402 anyway so it gives me an excuse to roll back the update, now I just need to get my hands on a linux live disc. (should have one knocking about).
Awesome I hope this works. I'll have a try tomorrow

Awesome. Looks like everything worked right up to the last vdc which was run by the wrong user. Easy fix. Looks like this definitely works on z2 phone then.
Funnily enough I actually had it right in the first version I made and quickly changed it to run as system a few minutes later.

Great news. I'm just a happy z2 user that can't live without root. Made a root utility for my last tablet (Blackberry Playbook) too.
I might improve this script to have more checks in it. More logging.

[GUIDE] Flashing XA Ultra with Latest Flashtool (Where FSC is need)

The Lateste flashtool requires the right fsc script in order to flash something. This script is not available by default in Flashtool and let us use the 0.9.18.6 version buggy as f**k. I was getting "Error while processing whatever.sin" over and over.
Flashing with the 0.23 results in "FSC script is mandatory, Aborting flash". I don't know if this works with every firmware and every model of XA Ultra and I'm not responsive if something bad happens to your device. I'm just saying that I wanted to downgrade my .109 to .111 (service unit bla bla bla in XperiFirm) and what was getting tons of errors.
This is what I did in order to simulate a FSC script:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
- Copy F32XX to .flashtool/mydevices/
- Return to devices and go to F31XX
- Copy the "default.fsc" to the F32XX directory in "mydevices"
Now rename this FSC script following your model and your firmware you want to flash.
Now open the latest flashtool and try to flash normally the firmware you want, when it asks if you want to use the FSC script, choose yes then wait for it to finish.
I do not guarantee it'll work or whatever, I'm just saying it worked to recover a Soft Bricked F3212 to .111 and got it rooted with xposed, with fully working front camera !
Edit : I don't know why the pictures are missing, please see the album here : https://imgur.com/a/bHrmT
I try tomorrow...thanx post! F3216
Thanks a lot. I've been stuck for weeks due to FSC script error. I've tried your method on F3212 and confirm that it works
Thank you @Yooooomi for your guide and I hope it will avoid bricked Ultra after flashing firmware :good:
Thanks for posting this guide

Help Downgrading to .111

Can you tell me if it works correctly? Could you make a video? I tried to change the firmware of my XAU and brinked my device, and I'm afraid to do it again and it will happen the same. Thanks

Searched for a solution but didn't find anything on it, so I simply gave up. But I'll sure get back to you if I find anything.
Found that my F31XX Folder did´t have a Default FSC, instead have a "33.2.fsc".
Thinks this will work?

This is how I handled mine with XZ1 via newsflasher. I was getting no focus and camera button would not work. Check the thread I wrote describing my fix but I used drmfix from @janjan vs storm's xperifix. The result should be the same however.

Temp Root for XZs is Possible

Hi, i succed to gain temp root acces in my device (bootloader allowed no) which running in latest oreo firmware. This exploit uses CVE-2019-2215 for 3.18 kernel. I also succed to setup magisk manager from this thread. I hope this exploit can help you to backup your TA.img before unlocking bootloader.
Btw, i need someone to be a tester for this exploit, i will send it if you want to be a tester.

Hello and congratulations for succeding with that!
I recently received a bootloader locked G8231 and I'd be willing to test your exploit on it. Now I have both an unlockable and a non-unlockable (Japanese Docomo release) units. I read through the link you posted and seems pretty interesting to say the least. I'd like to hear more about your version of the exploit, and I'd like to contribute by testing it on either model.
Feel free to reply or PM me.
Can i know and have the way to temporary root xperia xzs. I badly need it to improve the performance of my device. Thankyou so much
Hah, I just updated my thread from about a year ago on the subject of getting temp root. Though it seems like nothing has been publicly released on this thread here, so hopefully my post will still prove to be helpful (I found an already-built version of the exploit that just happens to work right out of the box on the XZs with stock Oreo!)

After waiting over a month for a reply, I didn't have much hope for this thread.
Luckily, my XZs is still locked
I will definitely attempt your method and report back (as soon as I find a bit of time).
UPDATE:
Thanks a lot for the find @nlra !! The exploit works like a charm on latest Oreo. And YES, I just dumped the TA partition on my XZs.

As far as I remember, I copied the mentioned file su98-memory-kallsyms to /data/local/tmp and made it executable. I can't test it now but it's probably something like this:
adb push su98-memory-kallsyms /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/su98-memory-kallsyms
adb shell /data/local/tmp/su98-memory-kallsyms
Afterwards I can just run /data/local/tmp/su98-memory-kallsyms from a terminal app.
