For my SGP311 it is confirmed ! But SuperSU have to be a SystemApp before... very important !
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] flechaig:
Doom, what I don't understand is why unlocked bootloader doesn't "automagically" gives root ? With unlocked bootloader, we can write what we want wherever we want, right ? Or am I misunderstanding something ?
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] DooMLoRD:
you guys can always send me a device to work on :)

u can always get root on unlocked bootloader... just use the correct kernel ;)
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] Tae.One:
I have the app and have run it before. Is there more to it to being a SystemApp. Never done this before.

I do see SuperUser.apk in /System/app

EDIT:Used /system/app mover to verify that SuperU is a system app. Looks like it just needs to be in /system/app

SGP311 4.2.2 [ROOTED] - CONFIRMED!!!

1. Starting point: Stock ROM 10.1.C.0.370

2. Rooted device using DooMLoRD Easy-Rooting-Toolkit

3. Installed SuperSU into /system - this took several attempts

4. Applied Sony update via OTA 10.3.1.C.0.136

5. Device has now 4.2.2 ROOTED!!! 8-D

And I also made a backup of my TA partition after step 2, just in case ;)
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] VTR1000SP:
would like to contribute if theirs more Dev & support & user for Xperia Z line of devices. too bad lack of Dev & mod... :(

sorry for off topic. for me basic need on Android devices, Root is a must + OEM software add on itself which sony lack way behind sam.

anyway tks for ur great work ! keep it up! :good:
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] dr3wster:
Congrats LeBoy ... so very jealous!! So just a silly q... when you say "Applied Sony update via OTA.." do you mean that you got the notification on your tablet itself that an OTA update was available? Or did you apply the OTA via FTF or Sony Update service program on desktop (ie. the standalone app, not PC Companion)... Thanks!
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] LeBoy:
OTA = Over The Air

In step 4. I downloaded and installed the updates using Sony OTA update program: Settings > About Tablet > Software Update.

From what I see forcing the update with PC Companion would invariably wipe out Root. Be aware!!!

By the way, no need to be jealous. I'm positive Sony is rolling out 4.2.2 globally right now and it will be just a matter of days before it's available in your region as well ;)
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] kingvillain:
This worked a treat, so quick and painless. Also managed to keep root after OTA update.
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] Hullie NL:
i also have root on 4.2.2

at first i could not do it, i think because of cwm/twrp (some errors) and i could not find a dutch ftf file so i flashed the uk one

followed the steps and did ota update and.....ROOTED!!

thanks LeBoy :good:
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] triggerseven:
Hi All,

I have a SPG312 with unlocked bootloader, I'm unable to do update to 4.2.2 using OTA. It will download the OTA, reboot, try to apply the update then boots up with a error message. I read unlocked bootloader cannot use OTA.

If I use Sony EMMA software to do a full update to 4.2.2, can i still use Doomloard root tool to root 4.2.2 successfully?
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] drazyw:
Followed everything here. Root wiped out upon OTA install.

I feel stupid but where the hell is Enable USB Debugging?

Nothing in Apps or any other menu in settings.

Running SPG321 4.2.2
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] GretaLewd:
It's in settings/developer options.

If you can't see developer options, go to settings/about phone and tap on Build version about 6 or 7 times. You should get a message telling you that you're a developer and developer options should have appeared in the settings menu.

SGP321 ( 10.3.1.A.0.244 ) is not supported :(
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] Diomorgan:
I tried with SGP311 10.1.C.0.370 DE since it's the only european I can find online for mi SGP311.

Actually since I can choose my language "Italian" from the setup, the rom works out of the box, I can easily root it, but I can't update then to 370, it downloads the update, start to apply then after a few seconds reboot and gave errore message (generic:impossible to update).

If I'll do that with kyes I'm pretty sure it will destory the root.

I'm not a "root maniac", but I would like to restore apps+apps data from my S4 to Xperia Tablet Z as done with the new nexus, and I need root for that.

AdAway would be nice to use too... :(

Well, I'll try to find out if it's a root problem or DE rom on IT tablet problem, but I'm pretty sure that the tablet is downloading the right update, so maybe it's the root stuff that cause troubles :(

Same situation, but locked bootloader on a SGP311!

Hi

I have a French Tablet Z 16 gb (no LTE, only wifi) with the last firmware ( 10.3.1.C.0.136 android 4.2.2 ).

Unfortunately i need root to install a NTFS software like paragon.

Are there any solution for the root this fimware? My bootloader is locked I think. Should i downgrading ?

Thanks
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] Diomorgan:
google around or search in the forum, there a VERY SIMPLE software for windows to one-click root Tmablet Z and a lot of other, you just need (if you really need to...) the "supersu" chinese app with the english one, but there a tutorial, I remember i found it here months ago...

I just found this guide on xda http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=44554794&postcount=1 is for 4.1.2 but it's th same as 4.2.2 ,

please note that in the meanwhile the software called "Root Master" was updated to 1.7.2 but you can get it from the official site: http://www.mgyun.com/vroot

or probably the one you can download from that tutorial wil update itself.

as alway I'M NOT RESPONSABLE if you are going to brick the tablet or so, and I'm NOT sure that the supersu apk of the tutorial is the right one for our tablet but, as said before, if you google there's the same tutorial for our tablet with same software and steps.

Actualy I did id even for my nexus 7 4.3 and it worked fine... :)

Rooting Xperia Tablet Z SGP321, Build 10.1.1.A.1.307

Hi,

I've a new Xperia Tablet Z SGP321, Build 10.1.1.A.1.307, Android Version 4.1.2 with locked Bootloader I assume, it is the UK's Vodafone Version, which is brand new and haven't used it yet, If I use the DooMLoRD Easy Rooting Toolkit (V17) will it be safe to use with my Tablet? Please confirm that won't damage the Bravia Engine or cause problems for the hardware like stopping me charging it using the USB cable,etc?

I'm new to this Tablet and just want to root it.

Thank you and Merry Christmas

As listed HERE, DooMLoRD's Easy Rooting Toolkit v13+ will work on an XTZ SGP321 running firmware 10.1.1.A.1.307.

I experienced no problems when I used DooMLoRD's tool to gain root access on my XTZ when it was running firmware version 10.1.C.0.370, so I do not believe you will experience any problems, but I guarantee nothing.

DooMLoRD Thanx

First experience with xperia z tablet. SGP312 4.1.2 Build number 10.1.c.0.370 stock fresh out the box.

Let me just say to all of you who are having problems rooting with this. If you are running Win 7 64bit. and having problems just stop what your doing and find an xp service pack 2 machine and be amazed at the sheer amount of screwing around you were doing on win 7 64 bit. I am only saying this because I spent literally 6+ hours messing with this toolkit in win 7 and just could not get adb drivers to see the device. hours of reading and changing environmental variable paths and just everything you can imagine. Finally I just gave up and stewed over it. Woke up the next morning and threw the adt bundle on my xp machine, JDK, and the sony xperia tablet drivers on the machine while it was in debug mode. Ran the tool 1 time..........1 time and it worked perfectly. No bs just perfect. Root with super user. I will say as the tool finished the tablet did loop like 3 times and I got a bit worried but I just unplugged the usb cable and it came right out of it. Works perfect. After that I took the ota that sony was offering to 4.2.2 and it went off without a hitch and I kept superuser. I would say to you all. After everything I went through and the lack of info on this, I will just advise any of you using a 64 bit windows 7 or 8 for that matter, just find an xp machine and get it done quick and easy the way it was designed to be done. Thanks alot DooM. Great work

[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] MikeViller:
anyone knows if a version of DooMLoRD Easy Rooting Toolkit for tablet z firmwarwe 4.3 will be available soon .... thanks
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] electrojas:
Win 7 64 bit

Thats almost surely your issue. Just from my experience, find a machine that has Win XP service pack 2 and follow the instructions again. It seems that there is some kind of issue with Windows 7 and the environmental variable paths so the toolkit, and the SDK platform-tools folder and files in the extras folder that holds the Google usb driver just cannot communicate so as soon as you put your tablet into debug mode you all of the sudden dont have the driver installed in device manager. Out of debug mode windows sees it just fine but obviously that doesnt do you any good with this tool. Now let me be clear I have no Idea how 32 bit Win 7 would work with this but the 64 bit version is what I had and I think the people on this forum should be aware of it.
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] catsmaty:
I have rooted my tablet and it is working fine, thanks again and very big thanks to Doomlard
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] gerzii:
hm but with my smartphone it works !?
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] gerzii:
i tried it again and again. With my Smartphone it wirks, but not with the Tablet!? :(
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] electrojas:
It has to be something setting specific to your tablet then. Did you find an xp machine, install JDK and SDK on it? + your Specific tablet drivers?

Also let me ask you this. Plug your tablet into your computer via usb with debug mode off. Proceed to device manager and look at the device. Is it there and make sure there isnt an exclamation point on it. (WITH DEBUG MODE OFF). if it is there and all is good, leave device manager screen up and go to your tablet and turn debug mode on and watch the orange light on your tablet does it stay on or turn off and also in device manager in windows does it refresh and then come up with an ! on the driver? if so let me know.
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] gerzii:
no i havent a windows xp machine for testing.

yes it is there and there isnt an exclamation.

my light is green and not orange. it stays on, but after a few seconds it turns off.

yes after refrshing it comes up with an !
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] electrojas:
That is the same situation that I had with windows 7 64 bit. When I had it hooked up to pc without debug mode on in device manager it showed up fine, but then when I was ready to run the tool I went into debug mode and device manager refreshed and the exclaimation point came up. This is because windows sees the device using the sony device driver but when debug mode is switched on windows is supposed to use the adb compsite driver and because of a PATH, and an Environmental variable miscommunication due to the location of the ADB driver location in the ADT bundle that you use for this,it loses communication. When you download the ADT bundle of the android development kit there is no "Windows Installer" or exe that places this composite bridge into the correct location like it does when you install the sony device driver. You just download the development kit and extract it to lets just say "Android" folder that you create on the root of C: Its there but you put it there, widows didnt by an install process so it has no idea where to look for that particular driver when you switch to debug mode. What I am telling you is what I have come to understand as the problem through trial and error. After hours of frustration and failure I finally just got on my XP machine, Installed the JDK with the windows installer, then I downloaded the ADT Android bundle. I created a new folder on C: called Android, and extracted the bundle into this Android folder, opened the package manager inside and installed the latest packages of USB driver, the Android tools and the Platform tools packages Then I plugged the tablet into the xp machine (not in debug mode) and when asked for the driver I pointed it to the actual Sony Xperia Z Tablet 311 312 drivers and made sure that it had communication that way. Finally I turned on debug mode on the tablet and xp showed that it found new device-Android composite interface, installed the drivers out of the Android development kit and when I looked in device manager in debug mode, it was there with no exclaimation point. I ran the tool, it took a total of about 5 minutes and the process was done. To all of the people who read this with true technical knowledge of this kind of stuff, I am sure this sounds crude and less than professional, but it is what I did and it worked the first try. I am far from a pro and that was my first experience with a sony device or a tablet. I strongly recommend you find an xp machine and do this because it worked for me.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bennetski:
Hi, im just wondering if anyone is having this problem. Im on an I9505 and am getting some horrible crashes. Im struggling to pin point what is causing it as it happens at random times. Sometimes I can go days with no problem but then out of the blue it will crash. What happens when it crashes is the bad bit though. It goes into a boot loop, it starts, displays samsung screen, goes into animation, stops halfway and then reboots again.

I have to take the battery out for a few mins and it usually restarts.

I have tried pretty much every firmware there is and it does it with everyone.

Ive tried restoring to factory, wiping cache etc.

Im now at the point of returning the phone as ive pretty much had enough now but i thought id throw it out there and see if anyone else is having this problem.

Im now in the process of reflashing back to MDM and trying one last time.

Someone please Help
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derWolf_:

I've tried a ton of other boot images since then, but none of them work. Did I just brick my phone?

the boot.img won't update the bootloader! only the firmware does....
[HTC One X] hpnxfox:
I just wanted to say the same thing..you mixed boot.img and h-boot

boot.img is ROM-s specific kernel, H-boot is like "bios"

To upgrade h-boot you can:

1. Reverse your phone to full stock and do OTA update which automatically upgrade h-boot

2. Or flash manually firmware specific for you CID - you can find firmware collections here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1957376

Search on forum guide how to properly upgrade h-boot, but as i recall (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1953338&page=117) you need to relock bootloader, put phone in ruu mode, and flash firmware- more than one if necesary! BUT DO SEARCH PLEASE !!

And to boot to your old CM10 you need to flash boot.img from CM10 ROM zip file that you flashed before - not this one for CM10.1
