[Sony Cross-Device General] Devzz:
Can someone confirm v4 survives a reboot? v2 didn't and SU binaries fail to update, I've also lost recovery for some reason because if I select reboot into recovery, it just reboots? Is this due to the root issues or is this a separate dualrecovery issue?

Sorry in advance if these questions have been answered before. I cannot find a solid answer. I'm going to flash stock .402 so it is a clean ROM with no root etc and then do it all again.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Seifer1975:
Yes. V4 survives reboots for me.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Devzz:
Appreciate it! :) What about recovery if you have it flashed? This is the second time I lost recovery!
[Sony Cross-Device General] Seifer1975:
Sorry can't help there as I didn't flash recovery.
[Sony Cross-Device General] zxz0O0:
If anyone still has rw issues with v4, I need

- (Full!) Output of install.bat

- Output of adb shell "ls -l /data/local/tmp/"

- Output of adb shell "ls -l /system/bin/stock/"
[Sony Cross-Device General] isimsizkullan:
is confirmed that z1 rooted succesfully without system rw problem?
[Sony Cross-Device General] adeyb:
Entered command through Terminal - Done (So my phone DOES mount, blasted thing!!!)

Update SU - Done (Yeah!!!!)

Unroot - Done

Entered command to remove tmp directory - Done

Re-run v4... STILL can't update SU or RW!

I'm attaching a screendump as previously asked for... Not sure how retrieve the output of the script? (Edit - Just seen your comment... Will try to answer)

Only thing I can do now is try this on my home computer to eliminate this computer being the issue.
[Sony Cross-Device General] euronaut:
works like a charm for me on z1 compact. did it with the first version of the tool, no problems at all. system r/w, reboot to recovery and so on works for me on .757 T-Mobile-DE

pretty nice Job zxz0O0 (and of course, geohot!)
[Sony Cross-Device General] nhnt11:
By output of the script I meant, when you run v4, you get a lot of text output, that looks like this:

5. now tried to install dual recovery

wow.. this time it entered dual recovery..

thanks for the all contributors for achieving this .. i will definitely donate and appreciate their great work.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Sideromelane:
It's not working. Resolves as a page of compiled text, on Firefox at least, about to go try it on IE.

IE sees the file as tr_apk instead of a .apk, so the file is obviously broken.

Copy-pasting the compiled gibberish from Firefox also doesn't work, as it fails the checksum.
[Sony Cross-Device General] crótach:
At first this didn't work with original firmware of Z1C, then I've updated the firmware and towelroot worked.

Now I have a problem that SuperSU won't update. I've installed it from the latest zip downloaded from chainfire as described earlier in this thread.

When I run it, it wants to update and asks me whether it should update in normal or TWRP/CWM. Since I don't have a recovery flashed yet, I've selected normal, and then the update fails.

Please note that this is the latest version from chainfire.

UPDATE:

I've gone ahead and installed the lockdualrecovery, and now supersu doesn't work any more. Reinstalling it doesn't help, it says it cannot find the binary.

Before that SuperSU was installed but always wanted to update itself. Now I don't seem to have root anymore.
[Sony Cross-Device General] illphone:
In Firefox right click -> save link as... will do it

[Sony Cross-Device General] sbr_23:
which version of easy root toolkit are you using? c04 should not have any problems. i tried it myself. if it still doesnt work i would suggest you flash ftf through flashtools and root with v04 then install supersu.apk

---------- Post added at 11:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:25 AM ----------

Try this:

-Reflash ftf

-re root using the easy root toolkit v04

-install dualrecovery

- flash romaur (dont restart)

- continue to flash dual recovery again (dont restart)

- continue to flash supersu.zip

restart the phone through the main menu
[Sony Cross-Device General] sharingspider:
>I have used easy root toolkit v04.

>Have not installed dualrecovery yet.

How to Reflash FTF ?

And how to do below steps - I am installing superuser through apk in common folder.

- continue to flash dual recovery again (dont restart)

- continue to flash supersu.zip

restart the phone through the main menu

---------- Post added at 04:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:40 AM ----------

Ok - Do u want me to use Flash Tool to Flash SUPER SU & Dual Recovery ?
[Sony Cross-Device General] sbr_23:
reflash ftf through flashtools.

after you install the rom it will ask you whether you want to restart or go back to main menu. choose go back to main menu and flash the recovery again. after you flash recovery choose to go back to menu and flash supersu.zip. then choose to go back to main menu and restart through the phone from there.
[Sony Cross-Device General] sharingspider:
Ok is this method to root without unlocking the bootloader ?

I am not getting why to reflash FTF ?
[Sony Cross-Device General] sbr_23:
yup. this is for locked bootloader. you need to reflash ftf to start from scratch. as you already rooted before there might be remnant files leftover. its always best to start fresh. you can make a backup using sonys backup app. and when you resflash ftf just choose to flash system dont check on data and cache. this way you wont lose any apps or data in your phone.
[Sony Cross-Device General] sharingspider:
Thanks for help - Can u please share link for latest 402 ftf and Sonys Backup App if possible.

---------- Post added at 05:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:19 AM ----------

If I do a full restore from the Phone will that not work with complete wipe ?
[Sony Cross-Device General] sbr_23:
you can check out this post for stock ftf http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=52849916&highlight=australia#post52849916

the app should be preinstalled on your phone. its the backup and restore app.
[Sony Cross-Device General] zxz0O0:
v4 will download tr.apk automatically.

And for those having problems updating su binary or mounting system rw, I've walked a few people through the whole process, here are the errors I've observed:

You do not wait long enough after press "make it ra1n"

The instructions say to wait until the device is rebooting (this means you press any key when you see the xperia logo)

You have old stuff installed which is interfering with this tool, deleting some files, etc.

Clean /system by flashing official firmware in flashtool (only system required)
[Sony Cross-Device General] Sideromelane:
It gives a server error and fails to download it.
[Sony Cross-Device General] crótach:
Is there any way to preserve root between system updates?

I've had to update my Z1C twice since rooting, on both occasions root was gone. Luckily towelroot worked both times.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Dennisth10:
Hey,

check your Anti-Virus. My GDATA says the tk.apk is an "Android.Trojan.Agent.E4X04I" so it blocks the install / download. Simply deactivate the guard and try it again AFTER deleting the files in "/data/local/tmp"

This works perfect for me. Now I have an EU Z2 .402 Firmware with root and Dual Recovery and with LOCKED Bootloader. Saved the TA-Partition anyway :D

Thank you for your hard work.
[Sony Cross-Device General] zxz0O0:
I saw that geohot updated his app to v2. Please manually go to his site towelroot.com, download v1 and place in folder files, until I updated the tool. Otherwise there will be an MD5 error. Thanks
[Sony Cross-Device General] mindyabiznis:
Any help...

when i open up the file it just says "error patching tr.apk MD5 does not match. aborting..."

then tells me the current MD5 :confused:

ive tried to delete and let it re download TR itself which it does but then still tells me the MD5 is wrong and ive also manually downloaded TR from geo's website and put it in, but it just fails either way.

[MENTION=3975929]zxz0O0[/MENTION] lol sorry just posted this and then its come up with your post, will try that now :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] nEUTRon666:
Will you use v2 then? Since this one seems to need no reboot. Also note, that v1 is now named tr1.apk and should be renamed to tr.apk to work with your v3 version
[Sony Cross-Device General] zxz0O0:
Yea I will try now on my phone with v2. Would be cool if there is no reboot since a few people are struggling with that and continuing the script too early.
[Sony Cross-Device General] nEUTRon666:
Yes i know, tranlated your howto to german in a german android board and they also have the same problem, pressing any key too early.
[Sony Cross-Device General] leviatus:
Works on D6503 .402, initially struggled with TR MD5 mismatch until I saw the post by zxz0O0. Had to turn off antivirus as well to allow autodownload of tr.apk. Agreed, the wait to reboot part was kindaof confusing unless u saw the post earlier saying to wait till the xperia logo shows up before pressing a key

Xperia M c1905 15.4.A.1.9 JB 4,3

Hi guys, I've used towelroot APK by GEOHOT and UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.00.zip chainfire.eu. It worked and the phone is rooted without rebooting. The problem comes up when the device turn off, manually or (I don't know why) after using TA backup to uninstall any apk. The phone begins to restart, appears SONY logo, then XPERIA and finally waves but suddenly turn off. A reboot loop starts over and over again, sometimes 3, 4 and up to 7 times until finally, it manages to restart normally. I've noticed that sometimes the loop stop by pressing the power button. Any help or suggestion? Thanks

I have downloaded your tool and root my phone it says its been rooted enjoy your root but I still dont have root on my phone.

I have got SuperSU in my phone but it doesnt update the binaries.

What should I do to get the root and recovery back?

Romour is based on .402. can I downgrade my firmware with flashtool? And use this again?

Please guys Im really worried if anything goes wrong with my phone I dont have any recovery.

issue could be the same as Z1 Compact with JB 4.3. so you need to be in a 4.4 firmware.

Not sure my problem was the same as you describe, but definitely similar. I couldn't get to any Google services (Gmail, Drive, Play Store, etc.), but all normal internet access was OK. Resetting permissions from recovery (TWRP in my case) fixed it. I actually didn't think that it would work because it didn't seem intuitive, but with nothing to lose I tried it. See if it helps.
