on xperifirm there is only version .108

i have found the version .157, the 'operator' is 'Customized'. is that right?

ps. the kernel is 'kernel_S1-SW-LIVE-6732-PID1-0005-MMC.sin' ?

I downloaded and extracted the firmwares. The folders contain files with extensions '.sin' and '.ta'. What is the kernel? :confused:
[Sony Cross-Device General] kokkss:
Just use flash tool to flash kernel and there is no need to know exact name of kernel. Buy anyway read guidelines before flashing anything.
[Sony Cross-Device General] ElPocho796:
Sorry.. I select 'fastboot mode' > 'select kernel to flash' and I have to choose the kernel file to flash with the extension *.sin , *.elf , or *.img

[Sony Cross-Device General] Iruwen:
Try reading the forum rules and use the search function I'd say.

No, and nobody ever asked this before for sure.
[Sony Cross-Device General] ElPocho796:
I have already tried searching, the file kernel seems to be *.elf, and I do not have any files with this extension. :confused:
[Sony Cross-Device General] kulvertti:
If I understood correctly you have downloaded and decrypted firmware. If so previous posters suggest that you make your own ftf file with flashtool and then when flashing it also via flashtool exclude everything els but kernel. This post has links to some guidance to work with ftf files.

Sorry....forgot to say that I come from. 108 that was rooted, than updated ota to 157 And saw that I had half-root, than used the v1 version of root tool and now I have full root
[Sony Cross-Device General] DomusX10:
the v1 version can root the new .157 firmware? Sure??
[Sony Cross-Device General] cingolat:
Yes for me it worked, but I update ota from 108 that was full rooted and after ota I was half rooted, means that I had root but I was not able to write in system folder.....
[Sony Cross-Device General] DomusX10:
From .108 I try to update via OTA, but says "impossible verify" so I have to update via PC Companion.

On 108 I've root with EasyRoot, and all goes wel.

In your case you reach to update via OTA from a root device?
[Sony Cross-Device General] cingolat:
Yes, I was able to update via ota from full rooted 108.....I'm on LB anyway.....
[Sony Cross-Device General] DomusX10:

Xperia Z2 on .167 and V12.3 not working... :-/
[Sony Cross-Device General] tramp20:
To all who cannot OTA update:

I found for me a solution why I could not OTA update from .108 to .157 (ofc rooted and XZDualRevovery):

in \cache\recovery\fota is a report file with the log of the last OTA try (a pure text file) where I found that the file \system\priv-app\semcemail.apk was missing.

Perhaps my fault because of some tries to freeze system apps.

After copying this missing .apk from \data to this directory I was able to complete the OTA update without errors.

After this update I had full root again only the xposed installer had to be reinstalled.

So everybody with the "could not verified" error should look into the report file if he can find a similar problem.

Z1 Compact Rooted .157

I've got a Z1 Compact and I lost my root when updating to .157 via PC Companion.

I used the tips in this forum to get my root back:

- flash kernel .108

- use easyroot to root my Z1 Compact

- flash kernel .157

It requires some experience and some XDA/google searches, but I managed it.

So it's possible!

I'm going to make a manual in Dutch, maybe later I'll post it here (not sure because I don't want users to spam me with questions).
[Sony Cross-Device General] emccccc:
Oh. alright, I'll just flash 108kernel and then reflash 157 kernel to get root + recovery.

any help please?
[Sony Cross-Device General] cr0wnest:
Same here, it gets stuck at creating vm (loljavasucks) and nothing happens from there. Also just updated to .167 via flashtool, perhaps we'll have to wait for easy root tool to get updated
[Sony Cross-Device General] stramino:
If you have updated via OTA, you haven't lost the root, but is not working 100%, for example the xposed framework doesn't work.

I solved it using the Root Tool V1 posted by CINGOLAT at page n. 125 (Thank You!) of this thread. You have to download it as .zip file, after extract it in a local folder (I used Windows Xp) and re-do the root.

The program may give you some error, in fact when you click on "make it ra1n" on the device, the device don't reboot... you have to press any key on the pc keyboard and it will work the same.

I tried two times but now everithing is ok.

Important: i think you must have Supersu installed because the second time i tried the root, Supersu gave a permission to "ADB shell", I think is a root comand...

I have Xperia Z1 Compact and Windows Xp

[Sony Cross-Device General] vikrant7027:
There's no direct method to root 4.4.4 till now.You have to either downgrade to 4.4.2 and then root it and then OTA update or flash prerooted zip available in development section...or just wait until someone finds direct root method...;)

[Sony Cross-Device General] eden1988:
I'm still on 4.4.2 (Z2 D6503) rooted, the system keeps prompting me to install 4.4.4 update (it's really tempting). So do I still get to keep my root after OTA update or do I need to use Root Tool V1 posted by CINGOLAT to keep trying for root? I hope to clarify this before I update, don't wanna lose my root since I just rooted 2 weeks ago >.<
[Sony Cross-Device General] Rafxx:
Could you please explain the method to downgrade 4.4.4 to 4.4.2 ? Thanks
[Sony Cross-Device General] vikrant7027:
If you have rooted 4.4.2 and updated OTA,you will have half root...xposed framework won't work.After using root tool v1 you will gain full access to root,though I haven't tested it...users say it's working.

Another method you can use is by creating prerooted FW with PRFcreater given in cross development section...

---------- Post added at 06:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:14 PM ----------

You have to download firmware ftf either from development section or using xperifirm and manually downgrade to 4.4.2 using FlashTool.
[Sony Cross-Device General] khrystyan27:
Is at least someone working on 4.4.4 root for Xperia Z2?

Why is so hard to discover the exploit?
[Sony Cross-Device General] kingvortex:
You try and find a vulnerability in Linux/Android and tell us why it's hard. :D

Seriously though, in basic terms, in order to root then a vulnerability has to be found in Android/Linux that allows bypassing security and writing to the system partition without proper permissions. This isn't an easy task, as security is constantly being reviewed and upgraded in each release. ;)

[Sony Cross-Device General] open1your1eyes0:
Exactly. Rooting isn't just something you do. You are actually breaking OS security to get system level access (the very thing OS's are constantly updating to protect against malicious activity). If you can root, so can hackers. Companies don't care about you rooting but they do about people that can do some damage (breaking devices, stealing data, etc...). Unfortunately for us they can't fight them without blocking us out as well. It goes hand in hand.

Thanks for your answers guys...

I just read that Google Nexus 9 has been hacked in less than a week, and it's running Android 5.0. :( That's why I asked why is so hard to break through 4.4.4.
[Sony Cross-Device General] kingvortex:
By unlocking the bootloader and patching the kernel as far as I know. That isn't an exploit. Most devices can be easily rooted if you unlock the bootloader as you can simply flash a modified kernel that lets you do whatever you want. ;)

Edit: So I had a minute to look on Chainfire's G+ and that's exactly what his auto root does. Link If anyone's interested.

I unlocked developer mode and thought I was done, so nothing happened. The script was still running while I enabled debugging, but I wasn't aware of that and disconnected my device.

Rebooted the device, but same problem, waiting for device. I'm positive all requirements are met. Any suggestions?

Version 12.4 not working for Xperia Z1 - Used version 11

Hi,

First of all thank you for creating this tool!

Just thought I would provide some feedback for my experience as it was not a smoove one and others might be getting the same issue as me.

I could not get version 12.4 to root my device (Xperia Z1 C6903) no matter what I tried and I would continually get an error message regarding kernelmodule_patch.sh file and no such file or directory would be displayed when the batch file reached the command adb shell "/data/local/tmp/kernelmodule_patch.sh"

Could not work out why this was but I managed to find version 11 of the Easy Root Tool on another website after some serious hunting for an older version and it worked just fine.

I forgot to save the exact output of the window to paste in here, but hopefully this will help someone else!
[Sony Cross-Device General] Jint Nijman:
Exactly the same happened on my Xperia Z Ultra C6833, firmware 14.4.A.0.108 !!

I followed the above advice and was succesfull using version 11.

Thank you for the tip!!
[Sony Cross-Device General] epiqpwnage:
Great tool! Thanks!

For those Z1 users who upgraded to 14.4.A.0.157:

If you get stuck at creating vm part, you might want to flash an older kernel image using flashtool first. Then run Easy Tool 12.3 (haven't tried 12.4 or 11 because 12.3 worked for me before I upgraded to .157 yesterday). After that flash the .157 kernel image again

Instruction is here. I don't know if the root app in this thread is the easy tool but I just substituted Easy tool for it and it worked. Credits to the author and all those who made it possible

[Sony Cross-Device General] slg86:
Is it only possible with a Windows computer?

"This quick guide will show you how to root your phone on 10.5.1.A.0.283 with a locked bootloader. It assumes some knowledge of use of Flashtool and use of a Windows PC."

I just noticed you're on Linux. Sorry about that.

Yes, the guide is based on Windows. If you can get Flashtool running on Linux then the steps are the same. I can't help with that though, unfortunately, but there is a Linux version on the Flashtool website.
