[Sony Cross-Device General] kingvortex:
From the OP that you read before posting, right? :D -

I tested the v.14 on .211 LT26w last night from this thread and It's not working

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2327473

I tried v.15 from this thread a few minutes ago, and still It's not working...
[Sony Cross-Device General] kingvortex:
So why ask then? :D

It says untested in the OP, which means it may or may not work.

If you provide details of any output from the tool when it fails, that may help someone to assist you. ;)

I havent followed topic for some time. I'm on .253 XZ stock rom

Do I need v15 to root it?

I don't have a root. And does this method work on 4.2.2? I mean, can I update to 4.2.2 and use this to root or firstly to root on .253 and then switch to 4.2.2 with other tutorials?

Thank you
[Sony Cross-Device General] dvd777:

Nope.

Nope.

That's what I just used then also used the remount reboot fix listed in the OT. Worked fine.
[Sony Cross-Device General] gbil:
A generic advice:

If you CAN'T troubleshoot problems like: multiple adb servers running, background Sony services running, usb cable unplugged (!!!), cat ate your phone and can't digest it etc

then do us a favor and

DON'T BLOODY ROOT!

Rooting is more serious than you think and if you can't solve easy issues then you certainly can't solve issues that can arise from rooting your device.

Don't be offended, be informed.

[Sony Cross-Device General] eagle25884:
Hi,

flashed 4.2.2 today. Used Easy Rooting Toolkit v15 and worked perfect.

One Question:

How do I join recovery-mode ? Do I need to flash Doomlord´s Kernel v8 or is this just occasionally ? I have locked Bootloader.
[Sony Cross-Device General] kingvortex:
You cannot flash a custom kernel if you have a locked bootloader.

See this thread for a custom recovery -

[Sony Cross-Device General] j0nthn:
Can someone elaborate on an easy way to tell if i can mount /system as rewritable (i.e. with ES file explorer) to see if the fix in the OP is required or is it better/required to flash it anyway, using this exploit. I am not really using CWM yet, but I want to know just in case, so I don't have to worry about anything.. Thanks in advance.
[Sony Cross-Device General] ravdo:
Well, just try to mount it as r/w on /system then. If your phone reboots after doing that, then you need to flash the fix ;)
[Sony Cross-Device General] j0nthn:
Yes, and my question was: what's the easiest way to mount as r/w on /system? And have you tried before applying the fix to see if it's necessary?
[Sony Cross-Device General] ravdo:
I was using Root Explorer. Tried to mount as r/w on /system, and the phone got rebooted immediately.

After that, I flashed the fix and everything works flawlessly (without any reboot), even after upgrading to 4.2.2 :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] j0nthn:
So if i'm correct, open es file explorer, navigate to 'root explorer', select mount r/w, change /system to RW instead of RO and if it doesn't reboot, i'm set?

Got my Xperia Z yesterday. Updated it to 4.2.2 and after preparations (like flashtool) I've rooted my phone.

V15 Worked!

Thanks for this useful kit :)

Now it's time to get rid of all installed bloatwares :D

Well it's hidden. Just press on the build number (it will count off to activate it)

Edit: you found it out already.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
You will need a recovery package, though the single recoveries have not yet been updated to use the key press event handler which is used by 4.2.2.

The only one I know that works is XZDualRecovery which I fixed to work on 7 different event handlers at once. You will need 2.5 BETA(!) to get it working.

After that I installed cwm.

[Sony Cross-Device General] armutyus:
help me guys, i didn't understand what i did wrong,

*usb debugging and unknown sources available

*drivers already installed

*extract v15.zip to new folder. and open runme.bat and follow instrucitons and press any key. and then nothing, says something like "system can't find the way" and close itself.

what's the problem? should i turn off phone?

edit: anyway, i solved it. it's about mtp/msc mode. change it to msc mode and it's done. thank you for toolkit.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Apollo89:
There's indeed a problem when using MTP + USB debugging. The Xperia Z reports too much 'compatible IDs' to your computer. Instead of only reporting the 'composite USB device' ID (which would cause Windows to split up the interface in an MTP device and an ADB device), it also reports the MTP ID, with a higher priority (which causes Windows to use the MTP driver immediately, without first splitting up the interface).

I solved this issue by forcing Windows to use the 'composite USB device' driver when my phone is in MTP + USB debugging mode. Now I can use MTP and USB debugging at the same time because Windows now correctly splits up the USB interface :)

Sony should correct the compatible device IDs, then people wouldn't have this issue!
