Hi! I kinda have the same problem on my Z1 (C6903), it's rooted but it doesn't work the replacement of kinguser. I run terminal and this is what I get:
[email protected]:/ # sh/sdcard/mrw/root.sh
k_shell/10330:9026: sh/sdcard/mrw/root.sh: not found
127|[email protected]:/ #
I think I copied correctly the file to the root of the sdcard, can you provide any help? Thanks!
Easier way of doing this...install the Kingroot, and follow instructions to Replace KingUser with SuperUser up to point 2, then download Root Browser, and browse to the folder in question and open the file yourself. Tested and works perfect.
Worked great on my C6943, no problems at all, SuperSU working with it's latest binary.

Then you didn't have root with kingroot first. For binary, follow point 6 of above.....all terminal is for is to install the file, my suggestion is just doing it manually

I solved. I had put the folder mrw in the external sd, this was the problem.
How do I install recovery?
My phone reboot after typing sh /sdcard/mrw/root.sh
Then I open SuperSU and update binary but it failed. "Installation failed, Please Reboot and try again"

Steps :
Send the extracted folder "mrw" to the internal storage of your device and make sure that this folder contains 6 files
Open Terminal emulator and type :
Su
Allow root permission
Type :
sh /sdcard/mrw/root.sh
It might display some error, at the end it will launch supersu or open supersu manually.
Update su binary normal, then reboot.
- See more at: http://www.w0lfdroid.com/2015/05/Ho...ot-with-SuperSU.html?m=1#sthash.5QILJARG.dpuf
for anyone interested in root and recoveries (and for those who don't mind keeping kinguser)..
BEST PROCESS TO GET ROOT + RECOVERY WITH .270 FW:
- Download Kingroot from kingroot.net;
- Root your z1 with the app, it will also install kinguser;
- In kinguser, allow root access to adb software;
- Use XZDualRecovery installer from Nut's (2.8.15) [http://nut.xperia-files.com/], choose method 1 (rooted + supersu), when it
asks to grant root permission on your phone just press a key (you already did in the previous step, because you don't have
SuperSu installed so it wouldn't work!)
- Wait for the installer to finish, then, well.. "enjoy the recoveries" hahah
what is the difference between Kinguser and SuperSU?

So if I wanted to install the recovery, I should first install it and then replace with Kinguser with SuperSU?
Z1-lockeddualrecovery2.8.15-RELEASE.installer.zip
The correct recovery for Zperia Z1 is this?
How do you install?
Thank you.
I've been struggling with the Xposed framework too....beginning to think its not possible on .270 yet

you don't need replace supersu for recovery, you can install 2.8.15 after root (sorry for my english).

If not then I need to replace Kinguser SuperSU with, I'll always have my phone with Kinguser and not SuperSU?
Kinguser is safe?
Thank you.
MOD EDIT @gregbradley
Also, users should be aware that Kingo root sends your IMEI to an unknown IP address in china during the root process, you have been warned. For more information read the whole OP here

1-) Copy ALP folder in phone memory.
2-) Settings >Security > Unknown sources make it open. And Settings > Developer Options > USB debugging make it on. (If developer options exist go Settings > About phone and click Build number (7 times))
3-) Install Root.apk Allow all messages.
4-) Install Recovery.apk
5-) Install Busybox.apk
6-) Open KingRoot and click Root button.

Thanks for the comprehensive guide. For some reason step 11) Getting my D6653 into recovery is not working (Also tried ADB reboot recovery)
Any ideas?
EDIT: After updating BusyBox, and then re-installing the Recovery, it re-started and is now stuck in a bootloop..
EDIT2: The bootloop is very likely related to this (from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261606):
"@vaisakh7 found a busybox updater which seems to be compatible with XZDualRecovery: Busybox On Rails, which installs a version of busybox created by stericson, which leads me to believe his Busybox installer should also install a version which works together with XZDualRecovery.
Either case, be careful with updating busybox as there still is a possibility it will break your ability to enter recovery or even break full root, which means you might not be able to recover from the broken situation. Your best bet is the installer version, using that to break the lock on the system partition and reinstall the correct busybox."
Recommended to NOT update BusyBox
Busybox can never be installed through this process always failed and there is no other option left once busybox installation failed except to reinstall the whole firmware please add the steps to guide for busybox installation too
Does this method null the waranty?
Sent from my Xperia Z3
After asking some people to try this method on their phones, it turned out that you can root your xperia z2 using the latest kingroot apk (v4.8)
Tested on xperia z2 and z3 compact
The steps are really simple
Download kingroot from here http://www.kingroot.net/wap
Install the apk and open it
Try to root
If successful then congratulations
***if it fails at a certain point,,, try to use a vpn then try again***
To have better root access, install SuperSU using this method (source: w0lfdroid)
Download and install Terminal emulator app here
Download and unzip "Replace_Kingroot_With_SuperSU.zip" file here
Send the extracted folder "mrw" to the internal storage of your device and make sure that this folder contains 4 files
Open Terminal emulator and type :
su
Allow root permission
Type: sh /sdcard/mrw/root.sh
It might display some error, at the end it will launch supersu or open supersu manually.
Update su binary normal, then reboot.
I would really appreciate it if more people try this method and share the result in the comments
Thanks

Looks good, but better to go with installing super su trough recovery after king root. I got a bootloop while I was trying to install super su after Kingroot. And anyway, you'll need recovery for flashing, why root without TWRP. Kingroot roots. 264 in v4.6 w/o any issues.

Ok thanks for your feedback
I never got a bootloop replacing kingroot...strange
Yes it works I was able to install existenz without connecting my phone to PC.
simplest method to get root with supersu:
1. download kingroot apk, put on internal storage
2. download (or create your own) prerooted zip, (or a ROM with supersu) put on internal sd card
3. download dual recovery to PC and unzip
4. make sure you have developer options and usb debugging enabled
5. make sure you have unknown sources enabled under settings/security
6. install kingroot apk and run it. It will say not exploit found or somesuch but you can continue from there and it will eventuall succeed
7. once you have root with kingroot connect the phone to your pc, make sure you authorize the usb debugging and run the batch file in the unzipped dual recovery
8. choose "phone rooted with supersu" and grant root access with kingroot when it pops up
9. let the dual recovery install and eventually it will reboot to twrp
10. not sure if it is necessary but I did a full wipe; data,cache, dalvik and system
11. install the the prerooted zip with twrp
12 reboot to a rooted phone with supersu
PLEASE NOTE:This is NOT a guide to root your phone but i did provide the links to the tools to do so for most Samsung's for help with root check your own phone model forum's section.
WARMING; Rooting a device may void the warranty on the device. It may also make the device unstable or if not done properly, may completely brick the device. Some methods may install additional apps/software on your device. XDA-Developers or the author does not take any responsibility for your device. Root at your own risk and only if you understand what you are doing! Additionally this may go against your service contract which I'm not responsible for as well.
Worked for my j700p running 7.1.1 stock rooted with TWRP/SUPERSU latest. If works for you leave a thank you and confirm device.
What you need to do to get tethering on Nougat is root the device (temporarily at least), enable tethering and then (if you want) unroot it so that everything is back to normal and you can take OTA updates and use Android Pay without any issues.
All you’ll need to enable tethering on Android nougat is TWRP recovery installed on your device and the latest systemless SuperSU zip (should work with magisk as well, if someone could confirm that'd be nice) to root the device. (Always remember to backup your system just in case)
How to Enable Tethering on Android Nougat
Root your android running nougat
Edit build.prop file: Add the
net.tethering.noprovisioning
line to the bottom of build.prop file on your Android device. (Download Build.Prop Editor from the play store if you don't know how to get to this, I suggest Rom toolbox as it has build.prop included as well as terminal emulator which you will need for the next step. LINKS BELOW)
Reboot device after saving changes to build.prop file.
Download/install a Terminal emulator app from Play Store (I used the terminal emulator included in ROM toolbox but you can choose whichever you'd like.) You also WILL need busy box installed as well to be able to execute this line. (will be prompted to install upon rom toolbox install with a link)
Open Terminal emulator on your device and issue the following commands one-by-one:
su
settings put global tether_dun_required 0
exit
└ Grant root access to the 3 apps when asked.
Reboot device
DONE!
If you wish to unroot now you can. I have not tested this so can't confirm if works after unroot but just go to SuperSu settings full unroot. Restart and you should be good. This should renable android pay.

After upgrading to flyme7, Meizu limits the full root privileges. After the system settings get root, installing supersu can't be used, and root privileges may be lost after reboot.
You can now get full root privileges by executing the script. You can get full root privileges by following the procedure below.
1. Required attachments: root script, MT toolbox
2. Restart after the system settings get root, install the MT toolbox, click the Root script.sh and execute it, agree to the MT toolbox to obtain root privileges, the script will automatically get the full ROOT, and then automatically restart.
3. After restarting, the SuperSU icon will appear on the desktop. After clicking enter, it will be used normally. The xposed framework can also be activated normally.

Good post.But from my experience with flyme, you are just fuc** flyme. Flyme is a heavily customized rom and it is not stable with xposing. You will understand as time goes.
Is it worth playing with this? What is the benefit of this script over the usual way getting root access on the phone?
In the case this is more useful, is there a link where it is directly downloadable? The link in the main post is just keep asking ti install an app instead of downloading the zip file. Could you please upload the script to where it can be easily downloaded and not require additional apps to install.
