The device I'm trying to root is an Xperia Z2. And this is the unique device that now shows up when I type adb devices on command prompt:

[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Bro, please: delete everything you have 'easy root tool' related and re-download v8 and try again with that. (in that order). The output you are showing is most likely from v1 :eek:

The problem you are looking at is that the patch of the towelroot fails, which makes sense as the towelroot app has been updated in the mean time. If the patching fails, it won't create the tr_signed.apk it tries to install.

Then, with v8, if it fails again, paste the entire output.

---------- Post added at 12:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:13 PM ----------

That's a Sony Serial number. You can check that in the settings -> about phone -> status (scroll down) -> serial number. It should match with the one you just quoted.
[Sony Cross-Device General] alberber:
Yes, and that's why I don't get why Easy Root is not working, if that is the unique device I have connected and running...
[Sony Cross-Device General] kanej2006:
Thanks bro, got it working, much appreciated.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Well... remove/uninstall Android SDK (the official way), reboot the Mac, try again. before you try, enter the easy root tool files directory in the terminal window, there type ./adb.mac devices to see if it can still find your device.

Also, did you make sure your Z2 is set to MTP mode?
[Sony Cross-Device General] zxz0O0:
alberber, your output shows

Device model is crespo
Firmware is GRJ22

Which is Nexus S with Android 2.3.4.

Please use

tags when you post output.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
:laugh:

Wow ... :cool:
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
:D

Sometimes the reason for failure is not due to the package being installed but due to the machine used ... both [MENTION=3975929]zxz0O0[/MENTION] and me where suspecting your specific machine to be at fault here... good luck resolving it and please let us know what you did to fix it in the end if you do get it fixed :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] alberber:
I finally got it fixed, you know how...? Using a computer running windows. I installed the drivers and the sdk and it worked. But I'm unable to make Easy Root work with my mac. It should work but for any reason I don't know, the computer keeps detecting that damn "crespo" with "GRJ22" firmware. And I don't know how to COMPLETELY uninstall android SDK because it seems like there will always be a remainder or leftover that won't let me get rid of that "virtual Nexus S" :crying:

Sorry the off topic and my bad English, and thank you very much for your help [MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION] and [MENTION=3975929]zxz0O0[/MENTION] :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:

Hey brother, great work.

Just wanna come out here and tell you your tool works on the D6543 model of the Z2 beautifully.

Best regards and thanks for the great work.
[Sony Cross-Device General] shrishail87:
This is the first time i rooted my Xperia Z1. I just followed the procedure in the first post.

Can you please tell me how to flash the SuperSU. ?
[Sony Cross-Device General] zxz0O0:
Go to this site: http://nut.xperia-files.com/ and download Z1-lockeddualrecovery2.7.123-BETA.installer.zip (10.22MB)

Extract whole archieve and run install.bat => Select option #2

This will install recovery menu on your device. Open the app NDRUtils and click 'reboot to recovery'. From there, install SuperSU zip file.
[Sony Cross-Device General] ikkeeuu:
i installed dualrecovery, but I can't go into the recovery, also NDRutils says that i don't have dualrecovery? i tried the bat file twice. Root checker is telling me i have root.
[Sony Cross-Device General] shrishail87:
Thank You:)

Yeah! Working root in a few seconds! I can only say Thanks!!!

Excuse me, I wanna ask something...

1. How to know that adb is already installed? :confused:

2, I got this error message on the install.bat

"ERROR: Could not access Package Manager. Is the system running?

What should I do? thanks in advance....:good:
[Sony Cross-Device General] zxz0O0:
adb is provided within the packet. You just need adb drivers to be installed. If you get the message "Device found!" then you have adb drivers installed.

Try restarting your phone. Also check your phone if there is any message and make sure you grant the RSA key on your phone if you get any message.

I think I found my problem, that adb drivers isn't installed yet and when I downloaded the installer and run it, it says "Incompatible with Win8 x64" trying to get another installer for adb drivers.... :(
[Sony Cross-Device General] zxz0O0:
Yeah, I saw it thanks. But I'm not sure if it will work on Z1S since that guy also used another method.

If you have flashtool installed, go to flashtool directory /drivers and run Flashtool-drivers.exe
[Sony Cross-Device General] RockstarTA:
Not working for me :(, everything runs fine in the bat, but the app its freezed during install, sellecting Ok restart the phone, but when i run Root Checker the app say me that the Phone it´s not rooted, Z1C with Android 4.3 14.2.A.1.124

[Sony Cross-Device General] zxz0O0:
If you provide details on what's happening I could try to fix it.

Did you unlock your phone and check if there is any message? If not, try rebooting the phone and after some minutes run install.bat again.
[Sony Cross-Device General] RockstarTA:
I still have the same error, I´m resseting the phone through PC Sony Companion, I run in the weekend the original xploit by Geohot (with the same behavior, force close and restart), maybe they were traces of that installation.
[Sony Cross-Device General] beast_drc:
Ok on 757.

Trying on JB - no success. App was hanging.
[Sony Cross-Device General] zxz0O0:
Output of install.bat? If you have original towelroot installed, it won't work. Just saying.

Got my z2 .402 yesterday at 6PM, went home and rooted at 7PM (using V7 but what the heck!).

The only thing is that I'll have to restart all over again because my device ROM is apparently from HK and many Sony apps are in untranslated chinese, so I need to flash euro FTF :p

Thanks again guys!

I installed FlashTool Xperia Drivers Pack v1.5-20140318 , but nothing can fix it. Someone can help me please?
[Sony Cross-Device General] guhvanoh:
Unfortunately I don't do French but reboot, and make sure PC Companion, SUS, or anything that uses adb is not running. USB Deview (Google for it) should LIST them. Make sure they are all not running then try again.
[Sony Cross-Device General] umibuzu:
I check, and I try on a other computer with just installed widows seven and I have exactly the same problem, and ma phone is new, in 4.4.2.

It's like "adb" command doesn't run for the script.

What do you install, just FlashTool Xperia Drivers Pack v1.5-20140318 and pc companion?

Thanks for help, i tried everything all day long.
[Sony Cross-Device General] zxz0O0:
Please post full output of install.bat. Did you unpack everything from the zip?
[Sony Cross-Device General] umibuzu:
- Sorry for french :( it says continually "adb" are not recognized like a internal command, or extern, a executable software.

- I installed almost evrything with "Flashtool-drivers-1.5-20140318"

But I don't know what to do with, all hardware in computer managment are ok and don't miss driver.

[MENTION=3975929]zxz0O0[/MENTION] is on a holiday for a week, if i can suggest a solution for the time being: the xzdualrecovery installer can also install on unrooted roms, it is using this same rooting toolkit to get root. Be sure to flash SuperSU afterwards.

I'm sure [MENTION=3975929]zxz0O0[/MENTION] wil fix it as soon as he gets back...

the other guys posted several times the same error - it's not helpfully, to post only:

Hi, the old version of tr.apk is needed, not the old Easy Root Tool.

do you still have any, they should be located in the EasyRootTool files folder.

Tried both of them with ERT v8, the same problem occurs. "tr.apk not found"

I put tr.apk in "files" folder in ERT folder, this isn't wrong, right? Interesting thing is, I went on towelroot.com, downloaded tr.apk and transferred it to my phone. Installed it manually, clicked "make it ra1n" nothing happened, phone didn't reboot (which is success because in tr.apk app, it says if your phone reboots, it means root is failed)

But I still don't get boot. This is interesting. :)
