Hey there everyone,
Just picked up my first smartphone, and obviously the first thing I had to do with it is install a different rom. I was able to get the one from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2349077
To install just fine on my Canada SGH-I337m phone. It says one of the features of it is root privileges, and I can see SuperSU installed on the phone, but any app that actually tries to access root functions seem to just get turned away. I've tried both OpenVPN Installer and AdAway and OpenVPN is the only app that gives any helpful logs.
When I try to install it, it just fails and in the logs it's saying that /system/ is still read only even after being granted privileges by SuperSU.
Just wondering if I'm making a mistake or if I needed to do something on the phone before the root will work. I've already tried reinstalling SuperSU to no avail, and using the Motochopper root app ended up with a boot loop after it finished.
Open SuperSU and update binaries see if that doesn't cure your issue

Yep, one of the first things I did when it didn't work was update SuperSU where it has you download/install it again from the store, which put me on version 1.65 which I believe is the latest version.
For a Canadian phone you will need to use CF-Auto root. However, trying to root a phone that is already supposed to be rooted can cause problems. I suggest you go to the CF Auto Root thread in the Original Development section and read the thread to see if any additional information or tips are given for your situation. Also, depending on the ROM you installed, you might need to install a Kernel specific for your phone to get full functionality. Again, this can be determines by reading the thread from where you got the ROM from. Good luck.
Hi Guys,
As already many of us know that we can use the Easy root toolkit to root our Xperia .402 Fw without the need to Downgrade.
I am making this thread as many have been asking me the steps to do it.
I am not responsible in any way if something goes bad. I have personally rooted 2 phones using this method and everything is fine.
Head over to this Post and download the V10.0 from there.
Follow the Steps mentioned below.
1. Download the attachment and extract it
2. Download http://towelroot.com/ and put tr.apk inside folder /files
3. Start your phone and plug it to your computer
4. Run install.bat and follow the instructions on screen
Now extra steps that I did.
After phone restarts download rootchecker from playstore and check if root is there.
It would show you the root.
Now Download the attached superuser.apk ( Dont install from Playstore )
Install it and open and it would ask you to update binaries do that ( Normal way )
Restart the phone.
Now my phone is Rooted with Locked Bootloader.

Yes this happened with me also. Root it again using the easy root kit and restart the phone. try again installing Xposed
You will have issues with write access to /system if you use v3 in that thread. Please wait for v4 (coming very soon), should fix all issues.
Great
Great tutorial
So apparently I cannot install SuperUser. The apk just doesnt want to install. Root Checker shows I have root but I simply cannot install superuser.

SuperSU fails to install binnary
Hope somebody can help me. I downloaded the attached 'supersu.apk' to my Sony Z2 and when it tries to install the binnaries it always gives me an error. I tried to reboot the device but the error persists. Rootchecker says I'm rooted. And someone befofe posted he managed to do it with the newer version of supersu from the market place, I tried it too, though it also gives me the same error message.
Any help???
Thanks in advance.

Don't unplug the phone before restarting after the first part of root process. After the reboot files are added it seems. Did that at first too and it didn't work. Wait it out and press a button during reboot and when it boots up it'll be fine.
All I want to do is root this thing, but no matter what I've tried it just doesn't want to work. Has anyone actually managed to root this?
Cant be done.... Yet

I've done it. I used the newest version of Kingroot from the Google Playstore (ver 4.8 at the time of this writing) If I recall correctly I *think* Kingroot may have shown an issue getting root access. However, after rebooting the device the rooting process did work. I was able to verify it by using root checker (basic version). After I had root I replaced Kingroot with SuperSU and once again verified using root checker. Still rooted... Be careful to take one step at a time. If you can reply with specifics and what order you did them in I might be able to help.

use Kingroot 3.5
Yesterday I successfully rooted my Z3C - 5.1.1. (never rooted before) with kingoroot 4.5 apk and install TWRP recovery whitout problems
attached link with all files..
Working! Thank you!
can anyone confirm this? Should I trust Kingoroot?
edit: it failed with error code 0x173c17
Did not work
Worked for me.
I rooted my z3c on fw 23.4.A.1.264 with kingroot v 4.80
rooted with kingroot too... working
I used KingRoot 4.8.2 from this topic on the firmware .264. It worked !
VERY interested in this. Do you lose camera functionality?
Edit - to be more specific did you need to back up your TA partition to restore your DRM keys for advanced features? I'm not interested in unlocking boot loader - just want root if that is possible.
No this is just the root. No need to unlock the bootloader or anything else, so we lose nothing.
This thread should be closed, isn't this app banned on XDA? I would not use this period! This app just installs crapware on your phone and i'm sure they get ad revenue from all the built in ads with the app. There is no telling what private information is stolen from your device as well. I repeat i would not use this period.

KINGROOT and any software on XDA is always 'user beware'
That means do your research and MAKE BACKUPS!
The xda staff no longer has any issues with KINGROOT. They made the needed changes to remain on XDA.
I actually use it personally on my Xperia T2 Ultra running 5.1.1. The app didn't work for me, but the pc version did.
With root I use ti backup to remove unwanted extras.
Another confirm working root.
Working with supersume btw (see playstore).
Now on SuperSU instead of kingoroot.
Finally root + full device encryption

Try using this guide: http://www.w0lfdroid.com/2015/05/How-to-Remove-Replace-KingUser-KingRoot-with-SuperSU.html
Worked like a charm 3x in a row.
So just to confirm, this does not impact the DRM keys?
EDIT: Also, presumably it does not wipe any data, images etc. on the phone?
beware that Kingoroot and Kingroot have all permission to collect your data. Kingoroot have more permission than Kingroot
I think kingroot is not stable. I used this root in 2 devices already, but same.
For example, TB not working with this root.
Kingroot sends your IMEI number to China as well and I got rid of it instantly and installed SuperSU after
Hello everyone,
I've noticed that there hasn't been any threads about rooting the Xperia Z2 Tablet on lollipop. Most threads have discussed how to root the device on 4.4.4 and to create an update image to maintain your root whilst updating to 5.0+.
I've scoured the interwebs and found nothing so I'll make it easy for those whom don't know how to achieve root or don't want to do much work without creating images and such.
First off I'm not responsible for any inconvenience that may come with rooting your device and losing your warranty. I can and will be willing to help out in restoring or answering questions that you may have.
This method uses Kingroot... For those who have a problem with kingroot, it is only used to achieve root and this guide will also be showing you how to remove kingroot and install Supersu with ease. Using the link below download the necessary files: Kingroot V4, Supersume, XZDualRecovery 2.8.26. Place all these files on the root of your devices internal storage/SD card excluding Xdualrecovery as that needs a PC. (If you want to Xposed working I will also supply the files needed for that as well). https://www.mediafire.com/download/wrsajbgw2jr6czt
*Make sure you have unknown sources enabled under Settings>Security>Device administrators as well as Developer Options available and USB debugging enabled. (To enable Developer Options go to Settings>About Tablet>Build Number and click it 10 times).
1. Install NewKingroot.apk and run the application. It will notify you that a root method was found and to try it. It may take up to 2 minutes to achieve root. (If all you wanted was root and are content with kinguser then you're done! :good: if you want Supersu and/or a custom recovery then continue on to step 2!
2. Connect your Tablet to your PC via microUSB. On your PC open and extract the contents of TabZ-lockeddualrecovery2.8.26-RELEASE.combined.zip to your desktop. Now double click install.bat a screen will pop up providing you with options to install xdualrecovery. Choose option 2. Installation on ROM rooted with SuperUser by pressing 2 and enter. The script will run its course and tell you to grant permission on your tablet. Open up your tablet and a kinguser prompt will show asking you to grant or deny permission to ADB (Grant it!!!) afterwards your tablet will reboot on it's own to TWRP. (I advise you to either make a backup of the tablet now or after you install Supersu as insurance in case of any mishaps). Click reboot System.
3.Install Supersume, open the application and run it. It will of course ask to grant it permission (Grant it!!!) it will check the environment (making sure that there isn't any Pokemon nearby that you don't need... Sorry Pokemon Go reference) and it will begin removing kingroot and install Supersu. If you didn't have Supersu installed already great! It'll open up Supersu automatically. Supersu may ask you to update binaries (DO NOT click TWRP as it will reboot and you have to start the process over from step one!!! :crying: Just click Normal and once it says successful you're done! :victory: The next step is optional if you Want Xposed.
*Optional 4. Install XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk. Open your app drawer and open NDR Utils. It will ask for permission (Grant it!!!) now here you may choose your preferred recovery... Philz Touch Recovery,TWRP or Clockwork Mod Recovery. Click Reboot to Primary Recovery (fourth option) once it's rebooted you want to click install>SD>xposed-v85.1-sdk22-arm-by-romracer-20160620.zip and swipe to install. You should get a success when it's finished. Now simply reboot and your apps will be upgrading. Congratulations you now have root with SuperSU and xposed! :victory:
**if you wish to uninstall Xposed simply reboot to recovery and click install>SD>xposed-uninstaller-20151218-arm.zip uninstall the application once it's rebooted and you're good to go!
***if you have a problem with Supersume not working, reinstall Newkingroot.apk and run it again to get root. Then run supersume again (Grant permission!!!) and let it run its magic.
If anyone has issues, has questions or needs help PM and I will do my best to help and answer all your questions. Please don't be discouraged because I'm new here! I will be soon adding a link to a video tutorial on how all these steps can be done!

Power off device. While device is booting up at the Sony logo hold power and volume down/up (depends on customer recovery) until led flashes green and device vibrates then let go

That's great news to hear! I picked one up and wanted to root and I did on KitKat but when I upgraded to lollipop I lost root and rooted it the long way... Needed something simpler and couldn't find anything on here. So I wanted to make sure a guide was available to all. Enjoy and let me know how it went

If you're talking about your google drive, there is no kingoapp.apk in there
All there is:
- supersume.apk
- tabz-lockeddualrecovery
- xposed uninstaller
- xposed v85.1
- xposed installer
I downloaded the most recent kingroot, which worked on my Verizon sgp561, and then I used your superuser file to change over to su. Seems to work just fine.. I'm on 5.1.1.
I tried the most recent kingroot and it fails.
An old version gave me an error code of 0x162982
