You will as long as you are on stock rom with Locked bootloader. This is just to get you root access. Nothing more nothing less
[Sony Cross-Device General] effective:
Thanks for the quick answer.Cos i saw in some comments that when i root it with flashtool i wont get any updates and the phone won't be recognized.
[Sony Cross-Device General] coolrevi:
As per flash tool "rooted" means unlocked bootloader. So it is true. This root and that root is different.

My story

Hi there.. Yesterday, armed with my new xperia Z, I attempted to root it..

Because of the firmware level, I had to go with the flashtool root, and not the easy way shown here.

However, right after I flashed the old kernel mentioned in the flashtool method in this forum, the device went into a reboot loop and would not stay up. After losing some hair and much sleep, I was able to download a complete new firmware from flashtool's web site, and that enabled the phone to work again. Phew!

In desperation last night, I also unlocked the bootloader; I remember filling out a form at Sony's website and receiving a code then using flashtool to unlock it, I also did an install of C

This morning I tried the method mentioned in this thread and I got root in five minutes.

So, *my* recommended method is to first flash a complete firmware from flashtool's website, and THEN run the method here.

I'm now running 10.3.A.0.423, the device is nagging me that there is a newer firmware..

Is it safe to let it upgrade? could it be done without losing root?

Many thanks -tk

Hi,

I tried rooting j .31 fw (jellybean) using the [Z/ZR][ROOT] DooMLoRD Easy Rooting Toolkit (v17) method , but im not able to root my J.I get Error like Error:File Over flow and mobile gets rebooted automatically .. any help??
[Sony Cross-Device General] tkalfaoglu:
is it safe to upgrade?

Hi there. I have successfully rooted my device now, but its running an older kernel and the device is nagging me to upgrade.

However it downloads the upgrade but it cannot apply it.. Probably because I unlocked the bootloader and attempted to install CWM (although I can't "find" it now when I boot :)

What shall I do? Manually upgrade to something newer? I obviously can't sleep unless my device is rooted :)

Thanks! -turgut

Hello Doomlord...

I used the v17 rooting toolkit to root my Xperia S successfully....

Though rooting is successful....I rememba dat it used to show "Location not Found" in the logs when rooting....

Now, I wanna check if BusyBox has been installed or not after the rooting...

Can you please tell me how to check if the v17 toolkit installed it or not?
[Sony Cross-Device General] kingvortex:
Busybox should have been installed. To check this easily, install a terminal emulator and enter the command busybox

If busybox is installed, the output from the terminal will make this obvious. :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] sam.i.r:
Hey Thanks...I did the same....I guess, looking at the output...it seems to be installed...

Still to doublecheck....i am attaching the snapshot....Please tell if its fine or not...

Why do people refuse to read the first post in the thread before asking for something that has already been addressed?

that is for Z, I have ZR.... is it work in this device?
[Sony Cross-Device General] kingvortex:
The important part is where it says the exploit is patched in 244.

Patched means that this particular exploit/tool cannot be updated to root 244.

thanks, my ZR dosnt work after 2. step :( this is for Z not for ZR... I flashed firmware for Z and ZR do not WORK, I dont how i get back....

An OTA update shouldn't lose root. If you're updating via PCC or SUS, then you will have to root again via the method linked in the first post of this thread.

Once obtained you may save it with OTA RootKeeper, update to new firmware and restore root again even if there are no ways (except bootloader unlocking) to get root for it.

Using v17 on Ubuntu to root Xperia V

Hi,

Just to let you know that I tried v17 to root my Xperia V (LT25i) with stock 9.1.A.1.145 firmware.

My device is ok for unlocking boot loader, but I haven't done it so far (don't need another rom).

Result: v17 linux script it fails to root the device during execution of files/adb_linux shell /data/local/tmp/doomed.sh script.

Symptom: there is an unexpected device reboot when that script outputs "writing address is 8e49", leading to a "device not found" and failure of the rest of the rooting process.

Workaround: so, I ran the "files/adb_linux ...." commands manually in the same sequence and got them to work up to the end sequence (files/adb_linux reboot).

Final result: after that reboot, my device is rooted :)

Opinion: I think you need to include some sleeps during the execution of /data/local/tmp/doomed.sh , in order to avoid possible filesystem latency in flushing the caches and it's effect on file creation/readiness. I dind't test this theory, though, because I would have to go back with the process a nd don't want to mess too much with a (so far) clean device.

Anyway, kudos for this extraordinary toolkit. :good:

Rooting is a process which require some exploits in kernels, some sort of "holes". Almost always a new patch, ota update, new firmware have a fix for that exploit, or "hole" so some methods are no longer valid.

This is some BS. The dev doesn't want anyone to mirror his files, he himself doesn't mirror the files, but yet his source isn't reliable, and I can't download it.

No need to explain yourself to these people.

What does it matter if the files cannot be accessed for a few hours? Is it a matter of life or death that they can root their device, or even so important that they have to post here berating you for not mirroring the files?

Unfortunately, this sort of entitled, impatient behaviour is becoming the norm here. Some people forget that all the devs here work for free and are under no obligation to provide anything to anyone.

[Sony Cross-Device General] secguy:
Can I root my phone whitout unlocking it with this toolkit? How exactly does this toolkit work on unlocked bootloaders?

I mean, is the official unlocking part of the process (along with backup and deletion of the DRM keys) or does it keep the DRM keys intact, so that I use the drm-protected sony things on a rooted device?
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
unlocking bootloaders and rooting your ROM are 2 completely different things. This toolkit only roots your ROM, it does not mess with the bootloader nor the DRM keys.
[Sony Cross-Device General] secguy:
Cool, thanks for that. I'm starting to get it. So after rooting, while the bootloader is still locked, what happens if I flash one of the system partitions with something else than sony firmware? I mean inside android, using dd if=image.img of=/dev/somepartition

Will it stop flashing, or will it break on next boot because the bootloader will not be able to verify the signature? I guess the second, or did I get this completely wrong?
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
No, the bootloader lock is mainly for the boot partition where the kernel resides, FOTA and modem/baseband and to validate the DRM keys on your phone.

However, Sony included a service called RIC to bug you with reboots while remounting system read/write, hence my fix against that... You could in theory overwrite all the partitions on your phone without causing issues, provided you overwrite it with a working function... This is why a backup of the TA partition will also work as a means to restore your bootloader lock.
