When i try to mannualy install it i download files to pc and the with the usb i passed them to my phone. When i open my file manager ghost commander i tryed to copy the 3 files busybox clock.. and the xrecovery.tar to the system/bin folder. THe busybox nad the clock.. were copied but the xrecovery didnt so if can anyone help me i would really appreciate it

Hi,
I don't think it's possible to automatically install xrecovery.
You can find informations and tutos here :

Hope it will be useful for you.

man see
- Download and unpack the recovery package
- use Root Explorer to remount /system rw
- copy the content of the package (3 files) into /system/bin folder
this is what i have to do but how do i remount the system?
and when i copy the 3 files i got an error and the xrecovery.tar isnt copied
but the 2 other files are.

After you unpack those 3 files to sd card use root explorer to copy them into system/bin
in bin folder you have to mount r/w,there's button in right corner of the screen
after you move them,you have to set permissions for them

so the only way to do it is to buy the root explorer?
Thank you very much

guys i did everything that it said but still when the logo of SE appears the one with the icon of SE i press back and nothing is happening. Is this because i had the busybox installed from an app of the market named busybox installed?

Very probably with the busybox version you installed is NOT compatible with xRecovery, I tried different busybox, and finally got it work, hope this may help.

But now you don't have to do that
So let's start​By rooting your device you will void warranty
1. do backup for your phone

2.download the the files we need... Links down
3.go to Setting>security>unknown sources .... And tick it
4. Setup king root and start it
You will notified that there is code in app trying to bypassing android security
Install it any way
5. When finish go to download folder and extract the second attachment to /sdcard/
6.download terminal emulator from here
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm
7. When install open it then get root permission
Code:
su
Then
Code:
sh /sdcard/mrw/root.sh
And you will have root with supersu

Last time I tried it only works on 5.0.2 unless kingroot updated and now you can do 5.1.1 too

Confirmed
Tested and worked for Xperia z1 lollipop 5.1.1 fw. 368

Worked for me.

First link was deleted by google. I tried with the kingroot apk from their site, but it didn't work with that.
EDIT: strange, it did work over Mobile data but not over WiFi. I am now considering you my personal God.

already root with pre-root zip but i wanna try this method, can you mirror kingroot file? because i cant access that file , thanks in advanced.

When I try to put in sh /sdcard/mrw/root.sh it says that the directory doesn't exist. I know it does though. Should I rename my sd card to sdcard? or is there something I'm missing?

Are you using the internal memory, or the external one? If you are using the external, and extracted the zip file there, you need to enter the path on sdcard1. So it's: sh /sdcard1/mrw/root.sh

yes but if you have any knowledge about rooting, its easy to get rid of and replace it with SuperSU

Ah ok. I read SD card as SD card. Didn't realize he meant internal. I ran it, and it kept coming up with errors that kingroot stopped working. Is that what it is supposed to do? Also now that i have SU on it ( I assume) what next? do I need a specific rom for these? IE I have a telus phone so should I look for a international rom or can I flash any? LOL I am fairly new at Root, and only flashed an HTC M8 but not really sure how to go about the z1. Also is it safe to uninstall kingroot? Sorry and thanks.

R u sure you rooted?
1. Download official twrp
dl.twrp.me/shamrock
2. Flash twrp
3. Download SuperSU BETA Zip and flash
4. Reboot
5. Download RootExplorer 4.0.1 and install
6. Grant SU Shell Access for RootExplorer
Try Now.

Hello again
Thnx for answer..
İ think the problem is file system.. As you know gm5 plus using Squashfs file system. because of that we cant changce r/w permission for this file system. Only option is using custom rom.

Please Wait. Our Team is bringing CyanogenMod 13.0 for your device please wait.
We are at the end of success.
Give a chance like.
Take full system backup
Then copy system backup to your PC
Rename system.squashfs.win to system.ext4.win
As well as if system.squashfs.win* exists rename as same.
Format your system partition as ext4 using twrp.
Copy the system.ext4.win to your mobile and restore the backup.
Try this method.

You cant r/w system because GM 5 Plus uses squashfs file system. Squashfs cant r/w it can only ro. You can flash systemless root and xposed.

Hey there,
AirAudio has been kicked by Google because they didn't like a link to a rooting-website inside the description anymore, written 7 years ago.
Its successor is called AirMusic and allows to stream some apps (eg. YouTube, YT Music, Deezer, PodcastAddict , radio.de, Plex and more, you have to try it out) without root on Android 10+.
On rooted devices, all audio can be transmitted.

Hey, it's all ok dude..
I bet you didn't make a nandroid backup, if yes just restore it !
Not made a backup and rooted with superSU ?
Here on XDA find and try to use 'unSU.zip' file or simply click here. Flash it in recovery,
then if will work re-root the device with your favorite superuser app.
Hope your device will be newly usable.
Let the community know if all gone well...
P.S.: PM are ok but a post can be read by everyone, well done !
P.S.2: THX to @osm0sis for unSU script.
Cheers

Not work :crying: i want the file sh in system/bin/sh i accidentally delated i dont know what i do now

I believe / sh is recoverable only with a backup made previously.
Now you probably need to re-install, even to prevent other possible problems, the entire system.
Save all your files you want to keep and
keep your bootloader unlock code handy (maybe you don't need it).
I can suggest which files to use...
You can still expect some tips from more experienced users ..
You decide.
Cheers
