Ok guys with Unlocked Bootloaders
Here is the latest iteration of a rootable boot.img for mm-beta https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24459283995297395
You know the drill:-
- Rename to boot.img
- Flash via Fastboot
- Enter recovery
- Flash a Systemless SuperSU eg: BETA-SuperSU-v2.68-20160228150503.zip
- Reboot.
FIXED
- Black Camera
- Root apps hanging while waiting for Supersu to grant permission
- RIC. Big thanks to @Gustavo RD78 for working this out :good:
Note
- The first boot may take some time, and give the impression that you are in a bootloop. Just wait and it will boot up normally eventually.
- Recovery is working, if you have Problems look here
Enjoy fully functional root on MM-Beta

Does any Z3 Recovery even work with MM yet? Locked Bootloader we will have to wait for [NUT] but im asking about Unlocked Bootloader.

Yes there is a recovery for unlocked bootloader for z3 running on mm. I flash the shoey recovery before till l i had to come back again to lollipop because i ve got a bootloop trying diferent things to get root and system rw. But now i try the new method by shoey but recovery its not working

Congrats my friend, you just rock!! \m/
Device booted up as it should, but root.
Edit: Root seems to be ok, but system mountable as r/w! ric?

Can someone create a flasheable zip of the beta MM for UB? I have tried to download to many times the backup from MEGA but when I try to extract the backup, it says " Unexpected end of file".

For system mount rw try my RICDefeat flashable zip: https://github.com/dosomder/SonyRICDefeat
If you have root you can also run the script from /data/local/tmp
Or easier step is:
unzip update-binary to /data/local/tmp
copy RICDefeat.zip to /data/local/tmp
Code:
su
cd /data/local/tmp
chmod 777 update-binary
./update-binary 3 1 /data/local/tmp/RICDefeat.zip

Yes.... hopefully we are getting some sort of recovery, although it is tough work
Maybe some sort of Flashify could work before we get real recovery... @[NUT]
It is a f*cking happiest day as smartphone user ... I have resisted over couple of years before getting my first smartphone (ok I had Samsung Galaxy2 Mini before, but it is not smart ....), and now happy that we have rooted M (and if sh*t not happens, it will be easy to root official Z3 Android M)... So I don't have to sell my lovely renewed Z3...

Root on Android 4.3 [Locked bootloader, but needs to be unlock-able]

Hello Everyone.
Yesterday, I updated my "Global" Z1 firmware to Android 4.3 and then {Of course} I had no root. I already had a TA backup from 4.2 (534) and already un/relocked the bootloader so I am not worried about warranty. So I tried something to get Full root on Locked bootloader.
What I basically did is that I unlocked the bootloader, turned on USB debugging, downloaded doomkernel (Made by @DooMLoRD) and then in fastboot I wrote the command:
Code:
fastboot boot boot.img
Then it restarted and booted doomkernel once (fast boot filename.img makes the phone boot that kernel once) and then flashed the latest SuperSU zip using TWRP recovery (VOL Down) and then went to Advanced → Fix Permissions. Then tried mounting /system as R/W but with no success. So I then flashed doomkernel using the following fastboot command:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
and then installed the latest XZDualRecovery by @[NUT] and then I had 4 recoveries So I flashed stock kernel and XZDualRecovery wasn't uninstalled, So what I did is that I flashed the SuperSU zip again (using TWRP) and then booted up.
In the first boot, I couldn't mount /system as R/W but I restarted for some reason. and tried to mount as R/W and it worked!
So I relocked my bootloader (by restoring the TA) and now I have full root on TOTALLY STOCK 4.3 Locked bootloader :victory:
Now, when I go to /system/etc/init.d I find a file named "99SuperSUDaemon" and I remember reading somewhere that init.d has something to do with what should work on boot (other than system booting things, cuz I only see that file). So maybe that fixed the "Partial root" problem. Don't know where it came from, but it works :highfive:
Just thought that it might be good to share some info with others, might be useful for people who doesn't want to use ftf's of other places like someone in MEA (me) doesn't want to use UK or US or any other ftf cuz of more bloatware.
Regards,
~J2C
May I ask you how you can verified if you have a Full Root or Semi Root?
Well, I have been removing system apps and I can mount /system as R/W.
If there's a way I can check, please tell me how.
Edit: I actually don't know what does "Semi Root" mean.
Regards,
~J2C
That was allready told here, with links to the description.

Yes, I have full root.
In case if you're on 4.2 and you can OTA to 4.3 (and you have root) try to copy the file 99SuperSUDaemon to /system/etc/init.d and then reboot, uninstall dual recovery, update to 4.3 OTA and check if you have full root. If you DO have full root, then you can install XZDualRecovery again and enjoy android.
Edit: uploaded the file, unzip (NOTE: it's NOT a flashable zip!) and copy it to /system/etc/init.d and give it permissions rwsr-xr-x

I do not use OTA, I don't have it. So I have to find a different way. I can only update to 4.3 from recovery or flashtool.

I can go to cwm and create a flashable zip from there and give it to you if you want
@eclyptos
I know you didn't ask for a 4.3 flashable zip but here it is:
Update.zip
I don't know if something needs to be removed from the zip, but all I did is that I wen to cwm and clicked on "Clone ROM to update.zip" and then uploaded it to google drive.

Root for locked bootloader but need to be unlock-able?!
If the BL is unlockable then it is useless to say it is for locked bootloader, if it's lock it's lock.
Once it is unlocked user can flash a pre rooted rom or kernel...

[ROOT] Root for Stock MRA58N (System/Systemless) (Wi-Fi/LTE)

The hot new security update is live, and you maybe want some root love without flashing custom kernel.
(Stock Image here : https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#volantis)
Handy modified root compatible boot image for the latest stock image MRA58N. Pure stock kernel modified from the stock images.
You have two choices:
The traditional root in system, which breaks OTA functionality.
(It's more stable now)
New "systemless" approach, which means the root stuffs are only in DATA and BOOT, the system will stay intact and it will accept OTAs.
(Note that this method is still in beta stage according to CF)
Instructions:
System:
Unzip system-root.zip, flash the boot.img through fastboot
Flash SuperSU 2.52
Systemless:
Be sure you haven't used any other root method(like the one above), if you've rooted with other methods, please re-flash your system back to pure stock
Unzip systemless-root.zip, flash the boot.img through fastboot
Download SuperSU-v2.56-20151030013730.zip in this thread, and flash it through TWRP
Important!! Please choose "Do not install SuperSU" when reboot in TWRP if appears.
When a new OTA appears I can just apply it and it will work? Do I keep root or do I have to reroot it again?
Are the attached zip files for the wifi model only?
I have this Kernel:
3.10.40-g909db78
[email protected] #1
Fri Aug 28 21:16:30 UTC 2015
Is this a stock one?
And with method shall I use to get rooted MRA58N?

Thanks for the modified boot images for LTE, I linked back here from my thread in Q&A forum.
have problems getting it to work...
am on MRA58N stock.
My exact steps.
adb reboot bootloader
Device reboots to bootloader.
fastboot flash boot boot.img (extracted from volantisg-mra58n-boot-systemless.zip)
fastboot boot twrp.img (extracted from https://dl.twrp.me/flounder/twrp-2.8.7.1-flounder.img)
From here, I manage to get into TWRP but they are asking for a PIN. I had to cancel and mounted an external USB storage and manage to flash SuperSU-v2.56-20151030013730.zip successfully. Rebooting after and not installing the the SuperSU that TWRP prompts.
After rebooting, I still don't have root. What did I do wrong?

I haven't run N version yet as my N9 is finally working without lags/reboots. But, the lure of the close all recent apps button (and very successful experience with xposed/gravity box on N5 after a year) in GB was too great. It works beautifully!
This may seem off-topic, but since root is required, maybe readers can allow exception.

You don't need to extract twrp.img, you should flash the full image "twrp-2.8.7.1-flounder.img".
That version should not ask for PIN anymore.
Note: system-less is still experimental
If I want to switch from the systemless root to regular system modified root, are there specific cleanup actions to take?
Thanks!

Did you flash with Philz Touch Recovery? Then this was the culprit.
I did this two times and lost root and recovery as you
The recommended recovery to use is TRWP.

Is there any way to re-try without having to wipe and downgrade? I don't want to unlock my bootloader and lose features either.

I've had the exact same problem. I also had the Philz Touch Recovery installed. After the update both Recovery and Root were gone. I've found an APK called KingRoot to regain Root:

Hi dude i think you just have to install a recovery again, by the install.bat from your PC (or install.sh for apple) for example from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261606 and you'll have your recovery back.

Thanks!
This did the trick.
First I've replaced KingRoot with SuperSu: http://www.w0lfdroid.com/2015/05/How-to-Remove-Replace-KingUser-KingRoot-with-SuperSU.html
And then I've installed DualRecovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2647480
@elvispr Glad to be helpful !
Yes there even is a xda thread for replacing kingroot with super su http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/general/super-su-xperia-device-lollipop-easy-t3119006
Coming from 14.6.A.0.368, nothing to report except it changed my "4G" icon for a "LTE" one, everything works fine, i didn't loose root nor recovery !
Thanx to you @ThreeMMM !

If your icon has changed that means you've flashed different customization of ROM (ie. you were on CE1, now you're on DE) - but that's not a problem
If someone already did with Philz, can get again Root Permission with Kingroot. It works.
Just flashed, clean install through TWRP, everything working as it should be... Thanks OP!

Systemless Root - Xposed - Safetynet Pass on Moto X 2014

Hi everyone!
This is a compilation of the steps i took to make Systemless Root + Xposed + Safetynet Check Pass on my Moto X 2014.
This is none of my work, I simply make this thread because I saw many of you asking for it in the Q&A section, so I thought it was better to have a Step by Step Thread.
Magisk is not working properly on our devices right now (if you don't know what this is and want to know: Magisk v6), because of problems with the Motorola's boot image. So the method I used was Suhide by Chainfire (Suhide v0.53), all credits go to him.
You need to have Android 6.0 and TWRP 3.0.2 or Flashfire.
So this is what I did:
1). Unroot, Remove any trace of other versions of Xposed if you have one. I did this but my system partition was too dirty and I couldn't get it to work, so I would totally recommend a clean stock rom, this will avoid many bootloop problems and such. I read that it's not working properly on cm13 so I would also recommend specifically Stock Image. After returning to stock, try a Safetynet Checker to see if you are really on a clean rom.
2). Once on a clean system image, flash the (Systemless Root Enabler) by @glauberlima (Thanks a lot for this), and the latest version of SuperSU.
3). Now flash the latest version of Suhide, please download it from the suhide thread page, as we are not allowed to redistribute his files: Suhide Thread. Files are in the attachments part.
4). Flash the Systemless Xposed v86.2 by @topjohnwu. Its important to flash the v86.2 version, because it's the one working "properly" with suhide.
5).Profit
Suhide automatically hides root for Safetynet so you don't have to do anything more. However, if you want to know how to blacklist another app please go to the Suhide thread for more information.
This should supposedly work on every model, I have an XT1096 on a XT1095 ROM and its working perfect, the only bug I encountered was the ART cache not building properly, but that's a suhide problem. Feel Free to ask any questions! Thanks a lot!
It sure reads like will work. I'll try it when I get home. Just to advance, did you test Pokemon Go? It really is the only app that I want to pass...
Do i need to restart the phone in every steps or i can flash all files at once without need to restart?
made everything exactly, except for xposed. safetynet already pointed up my system as non-CTS.
I surrender. f*** pokemon and f*** android pay
live long and prosper to root and xposed!

I reinstalled stock ROM all the way (system, boot, recovery, even bootloader) and did a full wipe. started everything from zero. Installed root and suhide, safetynet already knew whats going on. neither lost my time installing xposed. just went back to my old backup with all the things I need.
And all of this just because I wanted to play pokemon go. lol

That's really a shame bro, you should ask for help in the suhide thread, but personally I think that PoGo doesn't worth it lol, better keep root and xposed

completely agree with u. prefer my root/xposed and other tricks than a game that, at least for me, Lost The fun already. I can play pokémon in a lot of emulators (including a DS one that I bought xD ).
but, thanks for The help and for creating The thread, Will help a lot of people!

I spent the better part of yesterday trying to figure out how this could be applied to CM13.
Clean installation of CM13 followed by unrooting allows it to pass the Safetynet check. The problem comes when trying to install SuperSU in systemless mode. As best as I was able to figure out, SuperSU fails to patch the boot image because the LZMA compression method is used by the current CM13 nightlies, but only GZIP is supported. If somebody is able to successfully re-pack the boot.img file in one of the current nightlies to use entirely GZIP instead of LZMA, I believe the rest of the process could be followed to get systemless root and bypass Safetynet on CM as well as stock.

First of all i'm sorry for my bad english
Before to follow the thread guide we need to convert the boot.img of the cyanogenmod zip. To do that download the latest cyanogenmod and the tool"Android image kitchen (AIK)" AIK
Now..
Extract AIK and copy the boot.img from cm zip to AIK folder, then drag the boot.img on unpackimg.
Go to split_img folder and change the extension of .lz4 file to ".gz"
Come back and run repackimg
Rename the "new-image" in "boot" and copy and substitute in cm zip.
Copy the cm zip on your device, wipe system and flash cyanogenmod and gapps (if you use them), reboot...
Using a file manager delete the "su" file from System/bin and System/xbin (using root permission enabled in developer options)
Now just follow the main guide

Perfect. You filled in the missing gap with AIK. I was able to get this working perfectly with CM13. Safetynet check passes, and root is fully functional along with Pokemon Go and Android Pay.
Steps followed from top to bottom:
1: BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP
2: Download latest CM13 nightly
3: Extract boot.img file from zip and split it using "unpackimg.bat" from AIK
4: Rename boot.img-ramdisk.cpio.lz4 to boot.img-ramdisk.cpio.gz and run "repackimg.bat"
5: Replace new boot.img in CM zip file
6: Flash modded CM13 zip file and GApps
7: Enable Root in Dev Options, then full unroot with SuperSU app
8: Flash Systemless root enabler, SR1-SuperSU-v2.78, and SuHide
9: Restore app backups (if applicable)
10: Everything works (so far).
I was able to restore several system backups using Titanium Backup and remove system apps I didn't want without running afoul of the Safetynet checker, so this is quite functional for the moment it looks like.
how do i turn root on? i installed and all but cant find the way to turn root on.
I did all the steps mentioned above, and didn't work.
Still not passing the Safetynet Test. :crying:
Did someone else succeed?

You have to enable Developer Options (Tap "Build Number" 7x times) and then enable it there.

I've been wiping the system partition as well beforehand. A good way to go about this is to do one step at a time, and check safetynet between each step. After you do the full unroot, you should be passing it every time, check it between each step after and see if you can find where along the line it's getting broken.
