Hi

I have been trying to use this, and it seems to do nothing?

I have Windows 8.1, and my tablet has Firmware: 10.4.1.B.0.109

I have all of the prerequisites, but when i run the windows bat file, it just sits saying waiting for device.

Please can someone advise?

thanks
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] andymg350:
Because it hasnt been updated in almost a year.

Use easy root tool or towel root
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] 4D3:
could you link me to either of them please?

thanks

[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] x000x:
I have a sgp311 with FW 10.7.a.0.222 however I don't see that FW on the list. The topic mentions it has to be on the corresponding FW, and I'm not sure if my FW is compatible with this tool or not. I see the topic hasn't been updated since 2013, so maybe it won't work with my device's FW? :(
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] Rootk1t:
it 100% won't work as this tool is dated 2013 year.
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] x000x:
well I found this topic from the stickied help guide... so maybe the sticky needs to be removed if the info is outdated and no longer works =/

I'm still trying to figure out how to unlock the bootloader for my sgp311... but since all the info is so old, I have no idea what actually works or not, or what I should be doing =/
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] Rootk1t:
Read the knowledge guide.

great job DooMLoRD :)

Ok guys so i rooted my SGP311 successfully (i hope) using v14 and i want to unlock my bootloader. How would i go about doing this?

Edit: Nevermind i just figured it out (kinda) for those who were wondering as well, go here: http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions

im surprised sony is giving information about this...

I have a UK LTE SGP321 purchased direclty from Sony - it is still running .253 (I have tried PC companion and OTA refreshes but have not yet been prompted for a .307 update).

2 Questions ....

1. has anyone else with the UK SGP321 received an update to .307 yet ?

2. will this root method work on .253 or should I wait for .307 ?

Many thanks
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] dhruvaz:
I got 307 already in sweden. I thought they'd deploy to europe at same time... rooting works on 307 so its up to you.
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] flechaig:

Not sure what I am doing wrong but all I get is the following in the command prompt.

* Daemon not running, starting it now. *

* daemon started successfully *

But then it just sits there and does nothing. I have both the relevant settings correct for USB Debugging and Allow installs from unknown sources.

Any ideas? My laptop recognises the tablet every time it is connected so not sure why I get this error.

Build is 10.1.C.0.370

Hi!

Just rooted my .370 successfully, worked like a charm. Thanks for the script! But after a restart, shouldnt i be able to uninstall system apps via the app drawer? Those system apps like facebook are still not removable. Not via App drawer, not via setting or a third party tool...
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] udelgadochio:
Hi! I had the same problem, I uninstalled system apps with ES File Explorer, directly from /system folder, you can download it from here:

Thanks guys! I will try it with Solid Explorer, i already bought this one. This method seems like the "Holzhammermethode", like we say in Germany^^...
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] ABT4:
I just did this yesterday on my friends unit and it worked like a charm. Thanks.

I rooted my own earlier and it has a different interface for the superuser. I prefer this new one.

Can I root my unit again overtop the existing root? Or do I have to bring it back to stock before rooting again?

Thanks
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] jollster101:
For those that may run into this issue I found the fix.

My tablet was in MTP mode under Settings > Xperia > USB Connectivity > USB Connection Mode. Changing it to MSC mode and then running the script again rooted the device.

Thanks for the installer.

how about SPG312
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] Cat McGowan:
It is listed as supported in the OP.
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] kyrresch:
I have

321

.307

And I used v16 to rooting my tablet.

After that I flashed CWM-Based Recovery 6.0.3.2 for Xperia Tablet Z (Stock Kernel) [20,130,526. It all seems to be correct. But I can not get to recovery. I flashed through both Flashtool and ADB. Do I flashed the wrong kernel, or can someone help me here? Is there any solution to get to recovery?
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] kyrresch:
I got it now. I flashed this: Doom Kernel {JB} (V07) [20,130,529.

It solved everything :)

Hi DooMLorD,

1st off, thanks for the awesome root kit for the Jap Tablet Z SO-03E and Xperia Z C6603

It really helped me in getting these 2 devices rooted!

Recently i have bought the Fujitsu F-06E and was thinking if you could also work on a Root Kit for it?

Much appreciated if you got it working! Thanks!

First a big thank you for all your work on Sony device.

I maybe stupid, but the toolkit doesnt work for me.

CM10.2 is on my devices. When I run the script (Linux) , I get this :

SGP321 (cm_pollux-userdebug 4.3 JSS15J eng.opahl.20130801.131254 test-keys) is not supported.
You need to manage to get remap_pfn_range addresses.

No idea how to deal with it.

Out of topic, but I tried flashtool on my Arch box, and it can't work as it can't find libusb, when it is indded installed. Then, there are some changes in Arch (maybe other distros) as rules.d are now in /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/. I changed the script according to.

regards.

EDIT : looking at your android_root_shell device database, I see CM10.2 is not a supported rom. I will try to hack a little bit this database and see if I can root this way.
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] ndwgs:
Really you can't do nothing about it. I wouldn't tinker with it.

That's because the stock rom is fully Odexed.

I've been searching for a good guide to fully "Deodex" the stock US Branded .370 but haven't found a good one.

Once you got this deodexed, if you use Root Explorer, it won't reboot anymore. I tested this theory on my S3... Odexed it, and it would reboot whenever i transfer thru Root Ex or uninstalling thru Titanium Backup.

Hope this helped.

Does the latest toolkit v17 works on SGP321 4.2.2 ?

Just tried and it doesn't.
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] Safar_Ibrahim:
have anyone tested v18 ? i saw it somewhere while searching for root 4.2.2 xperia tab z
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] Rootk1t:
it doesn't work because root bug was fixed by Sony in this firmware.

Im gonna try it again this time and i hope my xtz doesnt reboot again if i change the permissions..

I just upgraded to the latest .244 firmware on my SGP321 (android 4.2.2)

Are there any root solutions for this build or are we waiting for a new exploit to be discovered ?

If not I may have to consider downgrading and re-flashing .307 and then re-rooting ... I can't live without root ;-(
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] dhruvaz:
Then I shall wait for the root first and then i shall upgrade.

I am looking to root my XTZ (SGP312) running 4.1.2 and Build Number 10.1.C.0.370 but there seems to be some conflicting advice about whether it has worked or not?

Am I right in assuming you can just do it with DooMLoRD's Easy Rooting Toolkit or do I need to do something else to unlock the Bootloader. Total n00b at this, still trying to get my head round it.

Cheers.

ps. I am not currently wanting to flash any custom ROM's to the device, I just need root access to try and recover some files - if that changes anything!?
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] Rootk1t:
1).it works good.

2).no need to unlock bootloader.

3).just use it according to instructions.

i got the menu where all my apps are, then i choose settings and then on the left side and down theres no menu called Application neither in english language or my native language Danish WTF is going on :(
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] Cat McGowan:
If you have 4.2.2 install, go into Settings, find and select "About tablet", then find "Build number" and tap on it repeatedly until the "Developer Option" menu appears.
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] arcsuser:
If you are looking for the "Development" its in the \Settings at the very bottom, above the "About Tablet" :D
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] wazer1337:
Thanks will check out later today :)

Not on my tablet with 4.2.2
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] b8drf:
You need to enable the Developer options menu ... go into About tablet and tap on the Build number a few times ...
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] wilx:
I see there is still no way to root 4.2.2, am I correct? So is there a way to upgrade to 4.2.2 and keep root I'm on WiFi only model and wonder if to root before the update comes? Thanks.
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] Cat McGowan:
Several people have reported that if they configured SuperSU as being a system app prior to updating to 4.2.2, they successfully retained root access after updating OTA (not flashing) to 4.2.2.
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] bill31k:
That is how I did it.

Flash .307 , root it with v17, update supersu, make it system (needed 2 times, 2 restarts), ota. 244 and still have root.

Just perfect.
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] testdasi:
Noob question but how exactly did u update OTA? I have always flash updates so actually dont know how to OTA... :banghead:
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] Cat McGowan:
Use the tablet's Update Center app to download and install the firmware update via WiFi (i.e., OTA, Over The Air) or use Sony Mobile's PC Companion to download and install the firmware update via USB or Wifi.
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] Cat McGowan:
You got the "SGP321 (10.3.1.A.0.244) is not supported" message because ... well ... DooMLoRD's tool does not support 10.3.1.A.0.244. His tool was created before 10.3.1.A.0.244 existed and he has not revised his tool since 10.3.1.A.0.244 was released, and I believe he may never revise his tool because a few weeks ago he said he was no longer going to do any developer work on the Xperia Tablet Z. Hopefully, he will prove me wrong and revise his tool in the near future. Are you now without root access? If yes, then read upwards in this thread and you find how to regain root access.
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] dhruvaz:
Wait what? Did he said that....when? Last time i heard was he was going to be bit busy with studies....no wonder why it is not updated..man this sucks. So who will take over? Btw any special reason he is stopping it beside studies?
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] wazer1337:
I'm not 100% sure because before i could not use adb root now i can but its also complaining about missing su bins and many root check tools from g play says its not rooted.
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] Cat McGowan:
Read what DooMLoRD said HERE. DooMLoRD does not have an Xperia Tablet Z.
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] dhruvaz:
What i got from that was he had sgp 321 and he was not developing för sgp 312.... so then it is end for tablet z then i presume...
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] Cat McGowan:
I recall DooMLoRD saying in an earlier post that he did not have any model of Xperia Tablet Z. In his signature, the devices he lists as having are Sony Xperia Z, SP, T, and S. He is currently posting in forums covering those devices.
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] wilx:
Thanks.

So how do I make super subject system?, How did you know you had to 2 times and have 2 restarts?

Can it be unroofed if I have problems and need to ship back to Sony in the future?
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] dhruvaz:
Yup I noticed it now..... Man so is our future = no root ever? or as i asked before is someone else is talking over.
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] nitin_ko:
took the plunge and rooted my 311

was damn easy unlike matts utlity for droid razr where the utility size was > 300mb , lol

reason for taking plunge > am expecting 3.2.2 for 311 soon and 321 guys have been able to restore root by ensuring Super Su is a system app in 307 + voodo OTA as backup (not necessary thou)

hope we guys are able to keep root also : )
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] Sean09:
The 311 update just came out for 4.2.2 - if anyone can confirm making it a system app keeps root on the 311, please confirm here!
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] pgriffith:
Does anyone know if root keeper will work on the Z?

Also on Wi-Fi version, and reading in other threads, the update is now available.

Cheers
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] Sean09:
No it doesn't work. I also moved supersu to system and lost root. This sucks :(
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] daveid:
Same here, tried the suggestion (even enabled survival mode in SuperSU) and lost root...
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] Diomorgan:
So it doesn't works on 10.3.1.C.0.136 also...? :(
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] LeBoy:
That's really bad news...
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] Rootk1t:
if you update via pc-companion your root will be lost, and with OTA update and OTA rootkeeper/SuperSu survival mode it can be preserved.
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] pangiotis24:
in fact if you update via ota just supersu survival mode is enough
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] sidelong:
Here in the UK I was not offered the update OTA. I only found it when I connected to the PC, and was offered it via pcc. So like others I have lost root. Kids the only way forward to ftf back to 370 and start again?
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] kalergman:

guys, root sticks if you do OTA for 311 with a pre rooted 370 ( making Su as system app)

just updated mine to 4.2.2 and root is intact :)
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] sidelong:
Yes, but it seems not everyone is offered the update via OTA
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] LeBoy:
Good to know. Update is flying via OTA to Germany right now. I just checked.
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] daveid:
Did you have to remove the dualrecovery before applying the ota?

Sorry if you don't have the dualrecovery installed, I thought I was in that thread...
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] nitin_ko:
i was only rooted, i was happy with stock so did not mess any further.

AFAIK, with duel recovery, ota will not install.
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] pangiotis24:
doomlord has found a solution to root on xperia z on android 4.2.2 and i wonder if the same method applies here.the process is simple.if you have installed the 4.2.2 rom,flash via flashtool the kernel from .370,run this programm to root and then flash back the 4.2.2 kernel.if somebody could create a kernel only ftf package with the kernel of .370 rom and another one with the kernel of the latest 4.2.2 firmware i would test it and report back.
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] Adam86:
I tried this earlier on today and had no luck. When putting the earlier kernal on the tablet would just get stuck in a boot loop at the Sony logo.

:(

However on a plus side, if you downgrade and root there and ensure SuperSU is a system app as others have said, once the OTA update is applied, the root does stick :)
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] gerzii:
but this doesnt work witg sgp321 :(
