NOTE: Extract downloaded zip and copy ALP folder your phone memory.

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

Working root method for 5.1.1 (.264) and maybe .232

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

Proper way to setup AdAway on stock rooted 6.0.1?

Hello, I'm on the latest 6.0.1 stock. I've used Nexus Root Toolkit to unlock my bootloader, root (SuperSU), and flash TWRP. I flashed Xposed using the Xposed installer. Now I'm looking to get AdAway up and running. I've done some searching and I see some conflicting reports about whether this needs to be done systemless, and how to get it working. Stuff I've heard is:
1. Just install the apk from XDA and install normally, update hosts, and you're good.
2. Install apk, use a program (like Titanium Backup) to make it a system app, update hosts, done.
3. Install apk, flash some sort of AdAway package in TWRP, update hosts, done.
4. Install apk, do some adb process to create a symlink of some sort, update hosts, done.
5. I haven't heard anyone really mention it, but in Preferences I see an option to "Enable systemless mode" which I haven't seen anyone really mention.
Can someone tell me which way I need to use, please?
>>> I also saw someone say that I need to use a file explorer after updating hosts to manually switch the permissions of the hosts file, in order to improve performance. Can anyone tell me if this is accurate, and if so how to do it?
Thanks!

Hello... Just allow SU permission, tic "enable systemless mode" in preferences if you use systemless Root. Tap on "disable" next to the red cross and let it download the new host. When prompted, reboot. Done...
Never seen anything about setting extra permissions... I don't read the XDA thread anyway and downloaded the app from here: https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdid=org.adaway

unlimited hotspot for nougat [ROOT]

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.

Yes, but many old devices does not have custom recoveries and also many people who use those devices does not have a PC to flash patched boot.img... and also some devices does not have firmware available too....
Many device's bootloader also locked...
If we install magisk then it will definitely soft brick..
since on a bootloader locked mobile tweaking recovery or boot partition will get result like brick
Thats why some people stick with King(o) root.....
