[Sony Cross-Device General] baldursgate:
Please ignore - looked through the thread and others have said that it works with 4.4.4 :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] ericwong:
Well, I didn't close the cmd windows and run "install.bat" again but my Xperia Z got root after reboot.

All good.
[Sony Cross-Device General] stress40:
I have to say that this just rooted my Z2 on .314 firmware.:victory:
[Sony Cross-Device General] SGT John Doe:
I just runned the newest version. The process went fine as usual. But when i turned on my phone again i'm still at .402.

Wow rooted my Xperia z2 is seconds.

Best root tool I have ever used.
[Sony Cross-Device General] cenbit:
It seems only LT28AT can not be rooted with this tool. Anyone knows why?
[Sony Cross-Device General] V4LKyR:
Well, this is the problem I've got; I've rooted my Sony Xperia Z2 on .314 firmware without any problem, only that the tool got stuck in "cleaning up" part and I had to close the cmd window. But it didn't affect anything, I got a clean, working root.

After when I wanted to install SuperSU from the market, it said the SuperSU binaries need to be updated, but it didn't update, kept giving errors. I rebooted my phone for a couple'o times but no go. So I uninstalled SuperSU. But then I installed another app which requires root permissions and surprisingly saw that SuperSU is actually already installed, because it asked me if I'd like to grant root permissions to that app. I'm guessing the tool automatically installed it, while rooting.

But now, when I go on SuperSU, it says the binaries need to be updated and then fails. When I uninstall SuperSU, I still have SuperSU somewhere but can't access it.

Any ideas?
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
When the tool gets 'stuck' on cleanup, it didn't finish all of the important stuff. The solution usually is to run the tool a second time. :good:

---------- Post added at 07:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:32 AM ----------

What is the rom version?
[Sony Cross-Device General] V4LKyR:
So, getting a clean, working root even though I closed the cmd window on "cleaning up" part isn't actually a good thing? :p Thought all is good.

Well, how long does the tool supposed to wait on the "cleaning up" step? Does it a take a long time?
[Sony Cross-Device General] guhvanoh:
I'm pretty sure if you read the last few posts of ppl having this problem you'll get a fair idea. Either way [NUT]'s solution works, flawlessly.
[Sony Cross-Device General] V4LKyR:
Many thanks.
[Sony Cross-Device General] CiscoX:
I also get stuck on "cleaning up" I just unplugged the USB cable and put I back, then I got message that I got root. I installed SuperSU got at message that root failed and ask me to reboot and then I run SuperSU again and now I got root. I run Root Checker and everything was OK :)

Sent from my Xperia Z (C6603)
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
No, if it hangs for more then a few minutes, you can just close it and run it a second time.

Root and a writable system are 2 completely different things my friend, at least on Sony phones :)

---------- Post added at 02:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:33 PM ----------

That will do on the Z, but the Z Ultra, Z1, Z1 Compact and Z2, this will not work.

[Sony Cross-Device General] CiscoX:
[MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION]

I did root my Z1 like I wrote in my previous post. The Root Checker gave me green light :)

Sent from my Xperia Z (C6603)
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
If you really mean your Z1, to see if you have full root including /system remount capability, you should be able to use es file explorer or root explorer to create a file on /system. If you can, then you are done. If you can't, run the root tool again.

waiting for device...

Hello,

I'm trying to root my Z2 and I'm always getting the "waiting for device" message. I just can't find what I'm doing wrong. Any sugestions? I allready installed the ADB drivers on my pc.

Thank you in advance!
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Make sure you have usb debugging turned on, the usb connection set to MTP and that you accept the rsa key on your Z2 when you connect your device to the Pc. It will sometimes help to keep it unplugged until you see the tool waiting for your device.
[Sony Cross-Device General] tiktaktok:
Thank you for you interest.

debugging allready turned on, MTP mode ok. It just never asked me to accept a rsa key... how can I check if my pc has acces?
[Sony Cross-Device General] pcpepik:
[MENTION=3533012]tiktaktok[/MENTION]

Go to "Settings" > "Developer options" > tap on "Revoke USB debugging authorisations" > tap "OK"

Then connect your phone to PC and run the tool again, it shoud ask you now.
[Sony Cross-Device General] tiktaktok:
Tried that allready. didn't change a thing, still no authorization request...
[Sony Cross-Device General] Cookie Ninja:
Run androxyde's flashtool. It forces ADB and you'll get the authorization prompt on your device....

Dead Cookies leave no trails...
[Sony Cross-Device General] tiktaktok:
Thank you for your help, but what should I run on flashtool?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Cookie Ninja:
Nothing, just start flashtool. It will search for a Sony device and query it via ADB. This will force the RSA prompt on your phone. Press "always trust", and it will show the ADB status of your device. Check in flash tool and in phone notification and simply exit flashtool!

The next time you run the root.bat or any other programme requiring adb asses, the phone will allow adb commands to access phone. Also a method to check if Phone is correctly connected to PC via adb.

Dead Cookies leave no trails...
[Sony Cross-Device General] V4LKyR:
Yep, closed it and ran it for the second time, it worked perfectly. Sorry for such basic problem. :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] Th3odora:
Updated to the firmware 17.1.2.A.0.314 and managed to achieve root using this method (verified by titanium backup and root checker) but I can't write or transfer files to sd card. Any way to enable this?

Apology. Am a noob here.

[Sony Cross-Device General] iBuzman:
Interestingly (and sorry for slight OT) tr.apk downloaded and installed directly from geohot site worked flawlessly for me on my new Xperia E1 (D2005)
[Sony Cross-Device General] Yokurt815:
Same behaviour on my Z1 compact. First time it got stuck, second time it worked :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] tiktaktok:
Ok, tried this and retried, but still no succes. And flashtool tells me USB debugging is off, but my Z2 tells me it's on... But I still didn't get any RSA prompt.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Nano23:
Doesnt root my z2 on 314. Pc tells thats rooted but i have nothing on my z2
[Sony Cross-Device General] Cookie Ninja:
Change USB cable. Check drivers for your device are installed (reinstall PCC and reconnect your Z2). Use another USB port on your PC, try on another PC/laptop....

http://xdaforums.com/nexus-4/help/adb-error-device-unauthorized-device-t2401452
[Sony Cross-Device General] tiktaktok:
ok, had a look at that. Just one question. How and where should I run this :

$ adb kill-server

$ adb start-server

Thank you for your patience.
[Sony Cross-Device General] tramp20:
On your PC.

Your adb.exe is at least v1.0.31?
[Sony Cross-Device General] tiktaktok:
Sorry for the noob questions, but where and how on my pc. I tried to run it in command prompt but t doesn't recognise it as a command. And how can I check wich version the adb.exe is?
[Sony Cross-Device General] pcpepik:
Did you reboot your phone after aplying fix?

[MENTION=3533012]tiktaktok[/MENTION]

Basically, you have to:

- get phone drivers installed (you can install PC Companion, if you want to be fully covered)

- get USB debugging enabled (under Developer options on phone)

Then try:

- what I said you here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=54374343&postcount=858

- what is said here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=46079640&postcount=13

- what [MENTION=2305003]Cookie Ninja[/MENTION] said you here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=54394776&postcount=871

After that, you MUST get rsa prompt on your phone (it have to be turned on, of course) after connecting it to your PC when "install.bat" script says so. Otherwise, I don't have a clue, what you are doing wrong.

[MENTION=4440087]tramp20[/MENTION] no need for killing adb, script handles that itself before starting new adb session
[Sony Cross-Device General] tiktaktok:
Ok, I tried everything you said, and just discovered the one thing that gives a changes in the easy root tool error. When I have flashtool and easy root tool running at the same time and then I close flashtool, easy root tool recognises a device and continues to a point where it gives me the choice of device, but there is no choice available... Any ideas? Thank you for your patience.

[Z2 D6502] Re-rooting issues after firmware update to 17.1.2.A.0.314

I have a Z2 D6502. It was originally on firmware 17.1.1.A.0.402 and rooted.

I updated the phone to firmware 17.1.2.A.0.314 and unsuccessfully tried to root with Easy Root Tool v11 found in OP. The screenshot is shown below. Can someone help?

I forgot to approve the computer on the phone after updating the FW, thats why it didnt work.

Got the thing to run smooth after i approved it!

Give it a try and see what happens. cant help you there bud.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Why ask? If it works, it will work, if it does not, it just doesn't... it won't hurt your device either way.

Up to now, all the latest FW releases are supported.
[Sony Cross-Device General] riz1234:
I get that ☺ I am on previous firmware that's rooted and alternative for me is to hold back upgrade for now.

If it doesn't work, I can always go back, reroot, restore. But want to check beforehand so I know if I need to set aside half an hour or an evening.

What just happend??

Hello, i have been following the instructions and read a bit in the error post, but didn't find anything about this specific problem i'm having, the tr.apk file is in the files folder and im still getting this:

how do i solve this specific problem? i have tried to reboot both the computer and the device and disabled my antivirus software (Avast antivirus) but this message is still appearing. I have a lot of experience in rooting Samsung devices and that's very easy to do. ^^ i don't have any other emu softwares like bluestacks or anything like it installed. Thanks in advance.
[Sony Cross-Device General] zxz0O0:
Seems you did not properly unpack the zip file. Make sure that there is a folder called 'files' next to install.bat. Inside folder 'files' there should be curl.exe and other files.
[Sony Cross-Device General] mattish.91:
100% sure there is a folder called files, i also tried the sh file using ubuntu and got the error "./unzip.linux: error while loading shared liberaries: libbz2.so.1.0:cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Error extracting libexploit.so from tr.apk"

so what now? the tr.apk is placed inside the folder "files" where there is alot of other files aswell.

What i did now was that i extracted the libexploit.so manually and puted that file inside the files folder, and it passed on, but now im stuck with:

==================================

waiting for device, connect usb cable now...

Make sure you dave only one android device connected

bluestacks emulator can also cause problems

The usb cable is plugged in with the correct settings on the device, is there specific drivers for linux? if so where canb i get them? xD
[Sony Cross-Device General] zxz0O0:
The error message in the script states that it can not change the directory to folder 'files'. So either it's not there or something is blocking the access. Please provide screenshots of the file structure. And try to manually cd to folder files from the directory where install.bat is, from the cmd like this

cd files
[Sony Cross-Device General] mattish.91:
Actually all i had to do was to allow the adb connection from ubuntu to my device, but now i have another problem it's locked at "cleaning up" stage xD

is that nesseseary? it did install SupersSU as expected xD

it's actually rooted, checked with root checker and it says congratulations! this device has root access! with green text xD

should i cancle the "cleaning up" process then? :P since it doesn't go on ^^
