edited p.s Thanks so much for the guide and the quick and easy tool zxz0O0, i was worried i would be trapped on 4.2.
[Sony Cross-Device General] martin132014:
That's why I'm asking will it work on it also....just need to know does the same method will work on different model....
[Sony Cross-Device General] SwiftSmoke:
Anyone having bother connecting to video unlimited or Walkman app after rooting?

Nvm seems to be working again now , sorry
[Sony Cross-Device General] zxz0O0:
Working on getting it to work on 4.3 :) Anyone with 4.3 (e.g. T2 Ultra), pm me for test version.
[Sony Cross-Device General] tania247260:
WOW Its worked great on my z1 compact
[Sony Cross-Device General] ppcfans:
Will 4.4.2 Z Ultra (C6833) be successfully rooted by this "Easy Root Tool" ?? Thanks in advance.
[Sony Cross-Device General] zxz0O0:
It has been confirmed as you can see on the first post.
[Sony Cross-Device General] ppcfans:
Wow! Done!

Super, my Z Ultra has been successfully rooted. Greatly appreciate zxz0O0, I love you :good: :victory: :highfive:
[Sony Cross-Device General] SANGER_A2:
Just found out that this won't work if you have another android device plugged in. This includes the BlueStacks Emulator! Took me quite a while to realised why I was getting weird errors. I ran adb devices and it listed two and I realised my mistake!
[Sony Cross-Device General] zeguym:
Yes just like me, before i run bat file, i check using adb, there is 2 devices, so i uninstall bluestack first.
[Sony Cross-Device General] kitrax59:
I can't THANK YOU enough for this OP. :D I was preparing myself to root my 3 week old Z1C via the long route then stumbled upon the Z2 exploit. I was hoping that it can be adapted to the Z1C then came the announcement of towelroot. My patience finally paid off with this almost one-click root solution. :D

Credits to [MENTION=3280118]geohot[/MENTION] for the original exploit and to you [MENTION=3975929]zxz0O0[/MENTION] for adapting it to the Z1C!
[Sony Cross-Device General] krenogin:
This method does work on xperia Z1 c6903. I live in the U.S. and have 757 kit kat. I will forward this thread into the Z1 forum!!!

THANK YOU!
[Sony Cross-Device General] hansip87:
This thread should be posted at the Portal! :D Thanks a mil!
[Sony Cross-Device General] SSyar:
aannnnddd we have a winneerr here :) works like chaarrmm,.,.,

i am confuse about..,. dual recover,.,. down arrow for what? and tapping on sony logo for what??
[Sony Cross-Device General] kitrax59:
With a working recovery, you can now backup your current rom. When the phone boots, it vibrates and when green LED burns, press volume - for TWRP or volume + for Philz CWM. It's up to you on which recovery you prefer. ;)
[Sony Cross-Device General] zxz0O0:
Is that kernel version? Should work on all kernels for Z1C.

Simply flash factory firmware in flashtool.

It should work if you pull the apk from the zip file. But I recommend to install dualrecovery and then install the zip file in recovery menu.
[Sony Cross-Device General] SSyar:
Thanx mate.,, i better use NDR Utilities just saw in app drawer ;)
[Sony Cross-Device General] javierdsv:
I can confirm it works. It immediately rooted .757 KitKat.

Dualrecovery installed fine after it and SuperSU working perfectly as usual.

And well, I love you.
[Sony Cross-Device General] jamesbdx:
You can also post this in the Z1 section if it hasn't already been done. Works freat on stock 4.4.2 .757 firmware. Thanks to all involved!
[Sony Cross-Device General] ckchan08:
ok. i got rooted on my z1, checked with root checker. rooted!

next i pulled the superuser.apk into sdcard and install it. then run it in app drawer. prompted to update binary. clicked normal. then it says failed to update. what went wrong?
[Sony Cross-Device General] jamesbdx:
Use the flashable zip in the OP after installing TWRP.

I've also deodexed my stock generic FR .757 rom and installed the 4K mod, everything works perfectly!
[Sony Cross-Device General] FahmyAbou:
I just love you man. It worked at the first try on the Z1. Thank you for your work and I going to tell everybody about it
[Sony Cross-Device General] drugbone:

i have root acces now, but superuser isn't updating the binary. i want a recovery, so i can install the superuser zipfile. is it fine that i just install dualrecovery? i am on kitkat .757.

thanks in advance
[Sony Cross-Device General] czrtst:
Worked fine but had to start towelroot a second time after reboot because i can´t update SU (Version from 1st post) or install recovery.

Root checker told me i´m root but on recovery install it failed with "are you root.... and "denied....)

But now it´s fine, maybe the same problem for some other users here....
[Sony Cross-Device General] xerox89:
I have a problem . I use root checker although it show its rooted but i cant mount system writeable . Part of the apps which need root is working but most of them dont . And i cant install recovery and update su binary due to system unmountable .
[Sony Cross-Device General] Stu|:
Brilliant! So much love for you right now! That 757 update has been bugging me for weeks.
[Sony Cross-Device General] zxz0O0:
Don't use the SuperSU from market, it can not update binary. Just install dualrecovery and flash SuperSU zip linked in first post.

Try running Easy Root Tool again.
[Sony Cross-Device General] ppcfans:
I see on the first post that Z Ultra is in the confirmed device list but I am not sure whether version 4.4.2 can be rooted. Becasue formerly I found many root methods to root my 4.4.2 Z Ultra but finally in vain. Now "Easy Root Tool" done it just by one click. I am very excited.
[Sony Cross-Device General] PiskopatYazar:
You have to repeat everything again what I said before.

After that when you flash romaur 3.4 don't reboot your phone download Flashable dualrecovery.

Download Flashable supersu.

After you flash the room go back flash dualrecovery after that flash supersu.

You should be fine after that.
[Sony Cross-Device General] ppcfans:
My Z Ultra has no problem of both Sony walkman and Sony Video apps.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Mazellat:
Great work I did it on my Z2 with 402 but How can I install CWM for flash anything?
[Sony Cross-Device General] SwiftSmoke:
You can grab the dual recovery mentioned in OP, it comes as a standalone installer or a recovery flash file :)

Hi All,

any idea if this root method works for Xperia Z1 on JB 4.3?
[Sony Cross-Device General] CosTuMe:
is there any change in v5 for D6503 that i will need to make the process again?
[Sony Cross-Device General] kcc825:
Is the warranty void if rooted? Is it possible to unroot the phone before taking to repair?
[Sony Cross-Device General] kamalmawa:
with this method warranty won't be void as you don't unlock your bootloader. to unroot just re flash your stock firmware using flashtool..
[Sony Cross-Device General] brfsa:
Just rooted Xperia Z2 on .402 firmware.

on mac I used install.sh, in which there is no need for sudo.

so I changed the first line of install.sh to be this:

#!/bin/sh

I had to run it twice, first time I used towelroot on device, but script was looping on while loop.

I run script again with the while loop block in line 173 commented out, just to finish it up.

Then installed busybox and supersu from Market.

great job here guys!

Thanks!
[Sony Cross-Device General] CAL7:
Following up...

I continue to lose some account permissions. I need to do some tests to see what provokes it, but every couple of days my Z2T refuses to talk to Google. It's hard to see how it's related to rooting, but it began after I rooted and installed dual recovery.

"Fix Permissions" from TWRP has corrected it each time (so far).

Anyone else?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Chefproll:
Just add the Z2 Tablet SGP521 (LTE, .402) to the list of compatible devices.

First attempt failed after obtaining root, backing up the TA partition and installing XZDualRecovery without any problems. Problems started with trying to get full SD card write access: Z2 Tablet suddenly lost all Bluetooth functionality. Nothing helped, so I ended up flashing the original .402 firmware. That cured the sickness.

Second attempt turned out to be a full success: Root, SuperSU up and running, XZRecovery installed, full SD write access (even with the excellent Solid Explorer), AdAway working, too.

Thank you very much for providing this solution package.

So here's my message to all reluctant SGP521 users out there: Go ahead, it does work ! :)

Note: All done using an ancient Eee PC under Windows XP, NO previous downgrade to .69 or .55 required - all working with .402 !
[Sony Cross-Device General] zxz0O0:
Thanks for confirmation.

So for people with T2 Ultra I have bad news. I have analyzed logcats from member dropdan and it looks like geohot's root exploit fails on T2 Ultra. There is nothing I can do about that. Maybe you can email geohot and ask him.

If there is someone else with T2 Ultra I would be glad if you can also send me logcat (start when towelroot opens, end after device is rebooting) to compare if it really doesn't work.

Hi Guys - I would just like to know what is the use of following the below steps -

""

Install dualrecovery by [NUT]

Download Z??-lockeddualrecovery2.7.XXX-BETA.installer.zip from http://nut.xperia-files.com/, run install.bat and select Option #2

Note if you have problems after installing recovery, this thread is not the place to ask for help!

Install SuperSU by Chainfire (recommend!)

http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu ""

I have got the root using Easy Root on my .402 Z2. Also I have already installed Super SU as well - It's working fine. Root has been confirmed by Root Checker as well. Will this recovery help me in flashing mod & also does it tamper warranty any how because my bootloader is still locked. Please advise.

TIA :)

Hello

I used your nice tool to root my z1c,and it seems to work great,however,i followed your guide in the "what can you do next" section,and have a question. I also installed the supersu and the dual recovery,but now i am wondering if the recovery unlocked my bootloader and thus removed my warranty? Did i even need the dual recovery,if all i want to do is install a volume mod from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2639862?

Last, how do i revert it back to retail stock if the phone needs to go in for repairs?

Thank you again for this nice semi "idiot-proof" rooting method :)

Hi,

I rooted my Z2 D6503 on 402 firmware and showed success using v5. After that installed SuperUser manually from the link provided and it gave the same error for update. After that whenever I try to use any apps which require root it just says root granted but nothing happens, no root access.

I looked back at the posts and couldn't find any solution except flashing ftf again, could anyone please help?

Sent from my Sony Xperia Z2 (D6503)
[Sony Cross-Device General] kulvertti:
Recovery don´t unlock your bootloader. You can unroot your device simply installing stock firmvare. Volume mod can be installed also by unzipping flashable zip files and pushing them to right folder. Much easier to install with recovery though.

---------- Post added at 10:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:01 PM ----------

You could try to install lockeddualrecovery if you don´t have it and then install superSU from here http://download.chainfire.eu/450/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.00.zip?retrieve_file=1

Version 2.0 SuperSU should have correct the issue with update binaries though.

Hi.

First i'm noob and before Z2 i had a galaxy nexus and the toolkit are fool-proof :p

Ok i've took root whit easy root on 17.1.A.2.55 i do TA backup but i DON'T have installed recovery because i don't need it... i need only root for applications but i use stock rom without xposed... (remember i'm noob and i'm scary to do a fail :p )

Now the Z2 tell me that there is an update 17.1.1.A.0.402 i've read that the easy root works but the procedure included mod recovery it's exact?

There are someone that can explain in the simple mode possible how i can do the upgrade while maintaining root :D
[Sony Cross-Device General] rockyy:
Hey i just wanted to know if i did everything correct:

1. i used the install.bat to gain root.

2. i installed SuperSu by chainfire.

3. i rebooted the phone (it said before root failed)

4. i used TAbackup to create a backup.

for what do i need dualrecovery? and how i install this .FTF file?

do i have something like CWM/TWRP? power-on/volume down doesnt open it.

i never rooted a sony phone before.. and as im new to it, i dont want to make mistakes cause a lack of knowledge :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] zxz0O0:
You don't need to have recovery menu. If you read the first post carefully, it says "what can you do next". The word "can" in this sentence highlights, that this is not mandatory to do.
