Awesome. Worked great on 4.4.4, surprised to see my Z1C rooted in 1 click. You made my day. Thanks a lot.
[Sony Cross-Device General] zxz0O0:
Nice. Still only for 4.4 or did he fix the problem on 4.3?
[Sony Cross-Device General] AndroPlus:
It should also work on 4.3 if the device has /dev/kmem and uses sony_ric.

He wanted tester to test ric_disabler on 4.4 device;)
[Sony Cross-Device General] livelyyoungman:
Thanks. I have successfully upgraded and rooted with the tool.

Hey guys, if I factory reset my phone will it still have root acces?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Frantiic87a:
Doesnt work for me.. Get virus alerts and the tr.apk gets deleted. Doesnt matter if im on PC or on MAC...
[Sony Cross-Device General] llxxjinxxll:
doesn't work for c6806 xperia ZU

This doesn't work for Sony Xperia ZU 4.4.4 it says "this device is not yet supported"
[Sony Cross-Device General] Sharpless78:
Disable your antivirus software then.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Frantiic87a:
NSS.. Done that, doesnt matter. Even on my macbook it's the same.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Sharpless78:
Antivirus software on the phone?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Frantiic87a:
Nope, bit of a noob so dont know if i can run it from the phone though.

the second i transfer the zip from my sd card to the computer it corrupts and deletes the tr.apk.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Montago:
upgraded Z1C and still rooted

Upgraded to 4.4.4 and its still rooted - i think... The apps that require Root still work :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] psouth:
Thanks!

Took a few minutes to get the ADB drivers installed correctly (ADB Installer took forever to recognize the x1c) but once I did this puppy worked like a charm on 4.4.4

Donation already sent. :good:
[Sony Cross-Device General] Frantiic87a:
Still having problems with this. tried a couple of the versions. Still the same problem. Why does it alert for trojans?
[Sony Cross-Device General] kamalmawa:
Just disable any antivirus/firewall software running on your computer first.. Then download the file again using Firefox or Internet explorer as Chrome browser also blocks it..
[Sony Cross-Device General] Frantiic87a:
Cheers,

Do i have to that aswell when i download it to my phone and transfer to the computer?

Z2 under 402 Rooted ? not sure ...

Hello All

And thnaks for the great job !

I have a Z2 with 4.4.2 with build 402 firmware.

Rooting through the application goes well, install of Super Su > ok, install of of root checker and titanium > ok , both confirm the rooted status; Good !

But ..., there is always a but, i cant remove any application from /system/app or system/priv-app !

Tryed with Es Explorer (who get the right ok from Super SU) ending with a "Operation failed"

Tryed also with Apps Systeme uninstaller from JUMOBILE, no success

Tryed with System Cleanup from INTEKS, no success

All ask for rights from SuperSu before and they were allowed of course

ANy clue here ??

Thanks in advance

Fred, France
[Sony Cross-Device General] kamalmawa:
Why can't you just download it directly from your computer?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Frantiic87a:
Because i work at Sony Mobile, firewall and antivirus program's is very very hard to disable if you know what i mean... :)

Get the same error on my Mac, thats whats weird.. But i reckon i will get it to work properly soon.

Do you know if i need to do something special with my OS if i try it on my PC with windows 8?
[Sony Cross-Device General] pmauzao:
I have an Z ultra with 14.4.A.0.108, can i use this method as well?

thks
[Sony Cross-Device General] kamalmawa:
I'm afraid I can't help you with your work computer as you may not have enough privileges to install drivers or disable those things I mentioned above. If you do have a computer with administrative privileges on windows 8 or 7 just installed the Sony PC companion first which will install the adb drivers you need then make sure to exit the Sony PC companion from task bar and run this tool you are good to go ;)
[Sony Cross-Device General] MrCatalyst:
Got my phone an hour ago, and this has worked perfectly. Cheers!
[Sony Cross-Device General] Supish:
Where do we download ADB?
[Sony Cross-Device General] iuno:
You download the Android sdk, adb is included
[Sony Cross-Device General] Frantiic87a:
Figured out why it's not working...

I softbricked my phone when i tried to put the doomkernal on it. had no problem unlocking the bootloader, but the root was a whole different story. Everything was good until the phone was supposed to turn on, nothing happend. bootloop. i could access the recovery mode but nothing else.

used flashtool and flashed .402 firmware and everything was great, the phone worked again.

only to find out yesterday that my bootloader is STILL unlocked, on of the reasons why this does not work :cyclops:

need to try on my own computer tonight and see if i can relock it.

Thanks for your help though! much appreciated!
[Sony Cross-Device General] zxz0O0:
You don't need adb, it's already included.

This tool works on unlocked bootloader, so that's certainly not the error.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Frantiic87a:
Hmm i see. wierd. Anyways, just relocked the bootloader so thats always something.

now i just need to figure out how to use the easyroot. still no progress in getting it to work.

cant for the life of me understand why it says that the program/files are trojans.
[Sony Cross-Device General] zxz0O0:
The tool downloads geohot's towelroot app. Some (crappy) antivirus say it's a trojan because you can gain root access with it.

If you can't disable your antivirus at work, you need to find another computer to use.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Frantiic87a:
Yeah, thats what i have to do.

but, i've seen a couple of videos on youtube that you can install the tr.apk on your phone and install it from there. and it worked for them.

anyways, just need to keep it together for another 7hrs before i can test at home.
[Sony Cross-Device General] zxz0O0:
Updated tool to v10

Main change is that it will no longer load geohot's app but only the library of it. This means it's not required to click "make it rain" anymore (one click less :) ). Beside that it should still work if geohot updates his app, as my script just extracts libexploit.so from it and no more patching of apk.

However, the tool will break if geohot changes parameters to his functions (e.g. it does not work with towelroot v1 library), but I doubt this will happen.

modstring "1337 0 1 0 4 0" is hardcoded.
[Sony Cross-Device General] tomli:

After the Full Reset, nothing, here is my output,

I'm beginning to think that the xploit is incompatible with JB in the Z1 Compact, unfortunately my carrier still does not free the OTA for Kit Kat.
[Sony Cross-Device General] paulle:
If i run the the install.bat the terminal shows the following: daemon started successfully (port 5037)

and that's it. I believe i have all the necessary drivers installed, how can I control there the error is. any idea?

If I connect the z1c to usb of the PC only Pc-companion is popping up showing the files on the phone. (uninstall Pc-companion?)

the z1c has kitkat installed.
[Sony Cross-Device General] saleh9416:
works like a charm! thanks man
[Sony Cross-Device General] zxz0O0:
Do you have usb debugging enabled? Make sure there is no message on the phone if you connect to the computer when running the install.bat
[Sony Cross-Device General] zxz0O0:
Updated to new version V2. Added support for Sony Xperia Z2 (check full changelog in OP).

Since a few other devices are also supported, I decided to rename it to something more general.

Thanks a lot to [MENTION=2828566]muunisti[/MENTION] and [MENTION=1488269]packetlos[/MENTION] for testing and confirming on Z2!!

[Sony Cross-Device General] Felborn:
Anyone fancy trying this on a z2 tablet?

Sent fra min SGP511 via Tapatalk
[Sony Cross-Device General] zxz0O0:
You get a message on your phone asking something about RSA key from the computer and if you want to allow the connection (first time connecting to this computer). Also make sure that adb drivers are installed.

If you have flashtool installed, go to flashtool directory /drivers and run Flashtool-drivers.exe
[Sony Cross-Device General] hidea:
I have a Z2 Tablet SGP511, when I ran the install.bat; it just showed a bunch of texts and closed itself. Eventually, I tried running the .bat as administrator; but it keeps saying that I don't have tr.apk in the files folder; however I made sure the file is in there.

Any tips?
[Sony Cross-Device General] munjeni:
I have managed to make single binary without need for adb, no towelroot apk, PC, blabla, kernel module wp_mod kernel version magic patched on the fly with current kernel version, su, busybox, supersu, chargemon, recovery, device model check... everything is in binary, just put to /data/local/tmp, chmod 755 newroot, run newroot by terminal emulator, done :)

[Sony Cross-Device General] arash64a:
Thanks for your hard work <3 I have some questions of you master:

1. With v9 when i want to click on button app show's that my phone not have internet connection, i think my country block....

Now with v10 can i ROOT my phone?

2. Do i need to unlock my bootloader for having root?

3. I know that ( Unlocking bootloader + Root ) will expire my warranty except of this after these operations have i loose any ability of phone? ( auto update app or fw + xload + bravia engine + .... )

Thanks
[Sony Cross-Device General] zxz0O0:
That's correct, you don't need internet anymore now. You also don't need to unlock the bootloader.

Tried v10 on a Z1 compact. It has been on the line "cleaning up" for 5 minutes. That normal?

Never mind... Silly me thought it was stuck.

Ignore~
[Sony Cross-Device General] Frantiic87a:
had the same problem, i just ran the program again and it worked like a charm.

What did you do? just wait it out?
[Sony Cross-Device General] mhaha:
Same problem here, not sure if I should just unplug the USB. Have waited for at least 20+ min now...

Tried safely removing, but was unsuccessful, system said the process was in use. :(

Update: Instructed by author "zxz0O0" in another thread to close the window and run install.bat again, worked for me, give it a try!
[Sony Cross-Device General] Frantiic87a:
Thats what i did yesterday!

so to clarify for those who have the same problem,

Exit out of the program if you get stuck on "Cleaning up" for more than a couple of minutes. re-run it, and it should work!
[Sony Cross-Device General] chauhanjayc:
tested and working on t2 ultra

one small thing

as soon as script reaches to cleaning it stuck so just need to enable and disable usb debugging mode

thanx
[Sony Cross-Device General] Frantiic87a:
One thing i do wonder right now.

I installed Rom Manager and it says i have TWRP recovery installed. i have not installed any recovery yet.

My question is is there any way you can install a recovery directly from the phone without using fastboot or any other program?

Cant seem to get them to work..
[Sony Cross-Device General] zxz0O0:
Are you sure you have root? Previously you said it does not work on T2 Ultra, so I wonder why it does now. New firmware?

Well you can probably do it without a computer but there is no easy way. I advise you to just use [NUT]'s dualrecovery installer.
[Sony Cross-Device General] chauhanjayc:
i have used your new version

aside today only t2 ultra got 4.4 update :D

so after update i tried your module and got succeeded:victory:

thanx bro

aside i have created a thread in t2 ultra section giving nod to your work for rooting

i hope it is ok with you
[Sony Cross-Device General] Chena_22:
well,its work on t2 ultra dual..not for single LTE...:crying:
[Sony Cross-Device General] peca89:
Just rooted Z1 Compact on latest 14.4 firmware using v9. Whole process took 30 seconds :good: including installing SuperSu from Play Store! :victory:

Works perfectly
[Sony Cross-Device General] guhvanoh:
Since it says TWRP is installed, can you reboot into it from Rom Manager? If yes then all you need do is place a zip of what you want to flash where TWRP can see it, reboot into TWRP and flash away...
[Sony Cross-Device General] Frantiic87a:
i couldnt, uninstalled rom manager, downloaded the dualrecovery .147 version and installed through my computer. Now everyhing works :D

[Sony Cross-Device General] zxz0O0:
[MENTION=3172970]Puffin617[/MENTION] is cleaning up really the last message? When did you download v10? Re-running the tool should fix it.

[MENTION=5942362]Frantiic87a[/MENTION] nope, it still downloads tr.apk first, then extracts and use libexploit.so from it.

.314 Firmware

Hi Experts,

I used Easy Root Tool before with my .69 firmware and it's flawless. Thanks a lot zxz0O0 and to the other guys who made this possible. I got root access and all my root apps worked perfectly.

I recently updated my firmware to .314 via Sony PC Companion and I lost my root access. When I tried using Easy Root Tool v10, I encountered an error (kindly see attachment). Error started with 'mmap failed: Operation not permitted'. I rebooted my device and then execute the 'install.bat' file more that 3 times but still no luck.

Any ideas what am I doing wrong this time?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

No go so far, phone is towelroot-resistant.

Since I'm a bloody noob who can barely differentiate a light switch from a dimmer, a) I assume I'm doing it wrong and b) I'm too much of an amateur to see it.

Any help is much appreciated, 4.4.2 and its limitations are not really thrilling. I can post or pm terminal dialogue and details.

Using v10 I had this using the Linux script on 4.4.4 (RU FTF posted on these forums), but after closing and running again it worked fine.

One small thing for the Linux script, I also had to manually rename "unzip.linux" to "unzip" to get past an error in the script.

Overall all worked well though so thank you to all contributors! :)
