Worked perfect on my Z2 D6503 Bell Canada phone on 17.1.A.2.55 I backed up my TA files. Now what is the easiest and safest way to back-up the entire rom in case I decide to play around with some different roms or mess something up and then need to flash it back to stock? Also in the service menu it says "unlock bootloader: no" Does that mean there is no way currently to unlock the bootloader for this phone? Thanks for any help.
[Sony Cross-Device General] bogdan wst:
To save your rom - use nut's TWRP recovery.

Your bootloader can not be unlocked.

I've rooted using this tool, very easy thanks. Firmware 108

What I wanted to know is I've left bootloader locked and no custom ROM, can I still do official updates from Sony?

And also I wanted to know how to unroot, do u have to use flash tool and flash 108 firmware and is that' it?

Many thanks
[Sony Cross-Device General] zxz0O0:
Apologize for late reply. Please try v12.3. The error should be fixed. It was because your path had a space in it and I didn't handle that correctly.

You can always do official updates if your bootloader is locked. I'm not sure about OTA updates but I think that should work too.

See second post for how to unroot.
[Sony Cross-Device General] ManuChaos:
Thx now it works well.

But one thing, in Android 4.4.x u have to found the USB-debugging.

U can found it under Preferences > About and tapping 7 times the buildnumber.

After that u will have the debugging options, last step u have to activate the USB-debugging, if Easy Root Tool told u "Make sure that you authorize the connection

if you get any message on the phone".

Then the root will work. :victory:

Why easy root tool must replace system file?..

Early version chargermon.Later mount.if easy root tool create new file then it is normal like add software to system.but if replaced original system file being link to all user accessable area then look like door closed but without locked.im not tech savvy or developer but may i know all easy root tool do.like replace.add or remove inside xperia device.ignore me if what i state here not understood because en not my lang.

The exploit used by this tool is patched in 10.5.1.A.0.283. You need to flash a vulnerable kernel to root.

SOLVED - Not proceeding after "creating vm (loljavasucks)"

Yes. I rooted the phone using the thread you gave.

So to summarize, the tool to work we require a lesser version kernel (leser than 10.5.1.A.0.283).

1) I used 10.5.1.A.0.280 stock kernel flashed

2) Used Easy Root Tool

3) Again flashed back with 10.5.1.A.0.283 stock kernel.

Thanks a lot guys.

Error downloading tr.apk with curl ...

Hello. I have a Sony Xperia Z1 with 4.4.4, C6903, Build number 14.4.A.108 (locked bootloader).

I have ADB drivers installed and USB debugging is ticked! I am able to successfully run the command "adb devices" !

My antivirus is OFF !

I have downloaded the "EasyRootTool v12.3 " and when I am running the "install.bat" it gives me the error:

Error downloading tr.apk with curl"

"Please place tr.apk inside the folder /files"

"You can download tr.apk from http://towelroot.com/"

So I downloaded the tr.apk from the towelroot.com and placed it in to the "files" folder, then I run the "install.bat" again (as an Administrator) and I am still getting the exact same error !

How do I proceed from here? What am I doing wrong ?

Thanks

Question of a newbee concerning "Easy Root Tool"

Hello,

I'm a newbee in rooting so before damaging my Sony Xperia Z1 compact (Model mumber: D5503, locked Bootloader) I have some questions:

- Will "Easy Root Tool" root my Android 4.3 (Baseband: 8974-AAAAANAZQ-10270028-33, Kernel version: 3.4.0-perf-ga439037-01014-gdd051d5, Build: 14.2.A.1.114)?

- Will there be data lost (e. g. DRM records) or will the internal memory completly wiped?

- What's the advantage of dual recovery (it is not recommended in the "What can you do next"-section) and will the root work without it?

Thanks for help

"Klaus"
[Sony Cross-Device General] zxz0O0:
Yes.

No. I mean it's even explicitly stated in the original post.

Root works without dualrecovery. Dualrecovery is the most popular recovery available for locked bootloader. Advantages are the same as on every recovery (plus as the name suggests, you have multiple recovery menus).
[Sony Cross-Device General] Spacemonkie4207:
I get the same thing
[Sony Cross-Device General] Haik0:
I have managed to pass that part where I previously was stuck. The solution was to copy the "EasyRoot v12.3" folder in to the root of the "C" drive (previously it was on the Desktop! )

Now I am stuck at the screen in the CMD where it says "creating vm (loljavasucks)" and it doesn't seam to be moving on,, I left it like that at least 40 minutes. Here is the prinscreen of the CMD windows:

[Sony Cross-Device General] kingvortex:
You're welcome. :)

I don't know if there's a firmware version that's rootable for the C3 to extract a vulnerable kernel from. You should ask/read around in the C3 section.

Don't use the kernels from my guide as you will brick your device. They're for the Xperia Z only.
[Sony Cross-Device General] alpine111573:
Thanks for the info sir... As of today there's no forum/group for xperia c3.... Anyway ill just wait... Thanks again...
[Sony Cross-Device General] kingvortex:
I didn't know there was no forum for your device. If it's a recently released device, it's likely the exploit was patched from the first firmware version, therefore you'll have to wait until a new method is found. ;)

Read post #1131 in this thread.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Haik0:
Why are you directing this person to the post #1131 ?? If you see that he is asking for Xperia Z1 NOT "Z" ! Stop confusing ppl. Just say that it's not available, that's it. The post #1131 is not a solution for his problem, hell it's not even for his device.
[Sony Cross-Device General] kulvertti:
Because there is the answer to his question. He need to flash a vulnerable kernel, root device, flash .133 kernel back. And of cause with Z1 firmware not Z. There is nothing to be confused.
[Sony Cross-Device General] freddy1991:
When it is stuck on creating vm, close the tool ( while still connecting the phone to computer) and reopen the tool again.

It works on 108 , don't know if it will work on 133

Hope this helps
[Sony Cross-Device General] Haik0:
Really ? It works on 108 ? So no need to flash no other kernel ??

You are using firmware 14.4.A.0.133. It has been posted multiple times that it does not work on this firmware. Use kernel from 14.4.A.0.108, root and flash back 133 kernel.

Woow, It worked! I just closed the CMD, and re-opened the install.bat again and this time it went smooth till the end.

No you don´t loose your warranty. You can easily unroot your device if you need that.

With this root you are able to flash stock based roms and recoveries that are designed for locked bootloader. How ever you are not able to flash custom kernels or roms that based other sources than stock.

You don´t need to unlock bootloader to root.

Downgrade Z3 kernel

@zxz0O0 I was wondering if it's possible to flash the Z3 compact's kernel with one from Z2 or Z1 to root it?

I remember for the Z1C (before towelroot), we had to flash an early Docomo FTF, enable usb debugging, then flash a Z1 kernel, boot the phone with a black screen, then run NUT's locked dual recovery to root, then flash Z1C FTF system.

Hey guys, does this tool work for Xperia E3?
[Sony Cross-Device General] quailallstar:
Did you install the file before or after you ran the dual recovery installer file? I did mine before I ran the file. Updated the binaries and rebooted. Could this be issue you are facing? Hmmmm
[Sony Cross-Device General] Devzz:
I installed the file, tried to update binaries, it failed. Then I read OP and it said use option 2 anyway which doesn't require SuperSU to be installed and so I uninstalled supersu as it wasn't working. I ran the .bat but no difference was made so I installed superSU and ran the .bat again. It asked for root permission but even though I granted it, the installation failed.
[Sony Cross-Device General] madgalaxy:
I selected normal as well and I got no errors - sorry I can not help more.

Got it all working :D had the SuperSU .apk installed. I ran the Easy Root Toolkit again this time with the .apk already installed. The phone rebooted after running towelroot and when I opened the SuperSU app, it worked! Just installed dual recovery and now I'll be flashing RomAur.

[MENTION=4056172]DeGozaru[/MENTION] - Run towelroot again with superSu installed. Let it reboot before unplugging the phone and let the script run FULLY. Then try to install the recovery :)
