Got my phone yesterday seeing the update now ROOTED, Thanks DoomMLoRD. Life is GOOD !!!

Again good to go for Rooted C6506 - 4.2.2
[Sony Xperia ZL] enrique71:

[Sony Xperia ZL] accts:
NO issues whatsoever ! I did an update through PC companion, then run v13 ... Reboot, all working fine.
[Sony Xperia ZL] rioferraz:

once u get root there are tons of ways to screw ur phone... you just experienced one of them :p

be careful while playing with system files especially if u dont know what you are doing and how to fix it...
[Sony Xperia ZL] stormtrooper_mx:
Question (nothing to do with comment above) : "ptmx_fops" is the same as "ptmx_open" ??? i'm asking because my kallsyms doesn't have ptmx_fops but ptmx_open instead.

And yes... i'm messing a little bit with /proc/kallsyms and the source code from github...

If I understand this right, I can update my ZL via SUS to 4.2. ( or should I use PCC or Odin for update :confused: ) and than I follow the steps of the first post to root?

Hello, you need to enable usb debugging. Go to the about software menu and click a few times on the firmware name, this adds the developer section where you'll find the usb debugging option. Good luck, let me know if this helps.

If my kallsyms doesn't have ptmx_fops, this means that my phone isn't compatible with the exploit?

I see that you support N05E, that device is somewhat similar to mine, except for the dual screen and android version...

But i guess i'll have to wait 'til you release your "add yourself your own device" guide...

https://github.com/android-rooting-tools/helper_tools

use the https://github.com/android-rooting-tools/helper_tools/blob/master/extract_address_and_disassemble script

just correct the paths to the arm7-dasm binary

if u have issues using that binary grab sources from:

https://github.com/fi01/arm7-dasm

and compile it for your system

dont forget to send pull requests to:

https://github.com/android-rooting-tools/

when you finish adding new devices!

Yeah, tks for the answer, as far as I know there's no date to the 4.2.2 upgrade reach Brazil Claro, so I guess all I have to do by now is wait unfortunatelly since I don't want to unlock bootloader by now. Tks DooMLoRD. If u have any other suggestion I appreciate. Have a good day.

The exploit works well, rooting is very easy! Many thanks to DooMLorD and the other devs for porting the exploit to android!!

It has been so easy that I'm quite scared: is it possible for some app to use this exploit to gain root access? Or is it impossible for an app to "escape" the dalvik vm?

Somebody help me to solve this problem and make root on my device.
[Sony Xperia ZL] accts:
You need to type each line the commands listed ... remember the space between cd and /data. :cowboy:
[Sony Xperia ZL] motoridersd:
What exactly is the problem you are running into? Are you not getting the shell? It should show up as

#android

And there you type the commands. The script makes sure that ADB works, and since you got all the way there it means it was able to push the files to the phone using ADB. Your drivers, in that case, should be fine.

Like accts said, just type each of the three lines once you get a shell prompt and hit enter after each one
[Sony Xperia ZL] eduardojel:
I get a shell, and typed the commands, but i receive permission denied. I receive permission denied when i try ls command , to list the content /data/local to check if has a folder tmp.

Can I keep Sony Apps?

Does that mean that I can use this method without unlocking the Bootloader, keep my DRM files, keep my Bravia2 engine, keep the Sony micro apps and the Sony apps (e.g. Walkman), but at the same time have root on the device and get backups as well as use apps that need root?

Does this method have any differences from the OneClickRoot methods?
[Sony Xperia ZL] kumbangdesa:
Yes.
[Sony Xperia ZL] zuma77:
I ran that .bat file and it restarted my phone but i didn't get any root. What am i doing wrong?
[Sony Xperia ZL] mobiware:
OneClickRoot

Also it looks like my assumption was wrong, so your answer should have been NO. On the first page of the thread it mentions that we need to unlock the Bootloader, which will erase the DRM files, Bravia2 engine will be inaccessible and I won't be able to keep my Sony micro apps.

So is OneClickRoot the only option to have root and not lose the above?

[Sony Xperia ZL] Kr3i0s:
C6502 Firmware 10.4.1.B.101

Can this method be used to root my device Model C6502, Firmware 10.4.1.B.101? My bootloader can be unlocked but I have not unlocked it yet.

No, you can only root up to android 4.2, on higher versions the exploit got fixed. You need to unlock bootloader and flash a custom kernel with recovery and then flash su binary.

Thank you very much for best work

Xperia ZL - Model: C6503

Someone already 'tested this procedure with the Stock 4.3 ROM (Build 10.4.1.B.0.101)?

Sorry my english! ^^

The exploit used for this rooting method got fixed by sony, so it won't work with android 4.3 or higher.

So the only possibility is to flash an older kernel, root and reflash 4.3 kernel. That only worls with an unlockable bootloader.
