Yeah it was in there. Gave up and used Windows. Worked fine.

Hi,

I can not get it to work as I get MD5 mismatch.

I am on Sony Tablet Z2 SGP521 with .402. I tried V5 and V7 but always get MD5 mismatch.

There were some comments to manually download V1 and put in files folder. Is this the solution? If yes, I can not try because I can not find tr V1 anywhere...

Thanks,
[Sony Cross-Device General] zxz0O0:
Use v7. And if you have problems with your computer / internet connection you can download tr.apk manually from towelroot.com and put in folder files.

Supersu Chainfire

Hello guys,

I rooted my phone successfull (locked bootloader).

The supersu (Chainfire) offers the option 'install supersu into /system'.

Can somebody explain to me if this option should be chosen or not?

Thanks
[Sony Cross-Device General] dummy1001:
Thank you, it worked! Great!

My problem was:

When I started the install.bat I had the following on the screen:

Download 100%

...

MD5 mismatch

But the download of tr.apk was blocked by Kaspersky..

But solved now, so I can confirm V7 works great on SGP521 with V.402

Thanks againhttp://xdaforums.com/images/icons/icon14.gif

Unroot Z2 tablet?

Could you please tell me, how "unroot" has to be done on a Z2 tablet (SGB512)?

Thanks!

Hi guys, i tried it yesterday on my Z1C and at first it looked like it fully worked, but turns out I only have 'half-root'; i still can't create files in system dir (which means i can't flash dualrecovery), even though ES File Explorer is granted access to shell.. Any idea how to fix this? Thnx!

Please run v7 install.bat and post full output of install.bat

Hem...

i'm started to 17.1.A.2.55 i take the root with easyroot and all fine.

after i upgraded at 17.1.1.A.0.402 and...

the root doesn't disappear :confused:
[Sony Cross-Device General] kitrax59:
root it again. flashing a new firmware does not preserve root.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Rgart:
this is the theory, but i put a new firmware and i don't lost the root :eek::eek:

i restart the phone 1 minute ago and the check is positive for root :)

i have z1 c6903 with firmware 14.3.A.0.757. what version of this software i must download for root device?

tnx
[Sony Cross-Device General] zxz0O0:
Sorry I don't have a Mac to test on. Can you try to edit the script and use the absolute path to bspatch.mac? I have no idea why it's not working.

Did it download tr.apk to folder files? The shell script works fine on Ubuntu.

Help!

hi guys / zxz0O0,

Im having a problem and want to understand the cause of it:

- my previou version was a ROOTED (via V-root) on .534 which kept root when updated to .257 back then. (and no more upgrades ws done for a while)

- so yesterday I just updated my phone via US (it was before the old 4.2.2 updated directlly via US to 4.4.2 (.761)

- during Update I KEPT all personal data

- now update completed and all apps nd data were in tact as I wanted. but ofcourse previous V-root was not working anymore.

(even though RE and Vroot icon are still there)

- I tried V7 towel root: it went into deamon, TR etc, I see "make it rain" on the phone, I press it. then here comes the problem:

nothing happens, I keep staring at the same "make it rain" screen. On my PC it says exploitiing...... and the ....... becomes endless long actually.. I tried Vroot as wel but doesnt work ofcourse.

SO what is my problem now actually to get it TOWELROOT to work?

Do I really have do factory reset now before towel root will work? which I realy dont want...will lose many apps and settings.

Any suggestions? ~~~ thnks in advance!!!~~~~
[Sony Cross-Device General] zohan99:
I am a serious Noob and chicken sh*t when it comes to these things (unless its a Nexus device) but I tried anyway and it worked flawlessly in under 20 seconds!

I now have a rooted Z2 Tablet SGP521 with a locked bootloader!

I do have a few quick questions, perhaps you guys can help?

1) Being as this is my first Sony device, how can I now proceed to backup the DRM keys?

2) Will I still receive future OTA's?

Thanks in advance, and thanks for this awesome tool!
[Sony Cross-Device General] LitoNi:
1) you do not have to back up your DRM keys if youre not planning to unlock your Bootloader, it is pointless if youre just keeping root with a locked bootloader

2) with a locked bootloader and root you will still get OTA updates. However, OTAs for OEMs other than google is pretty much useless cause its slow (few months behind?), the FTF file is out faster than OTA. but if you can wait then you will most likely pertain root on it.

For Xperia T and SP just use normal towelroot. This here is a modified version for devices with write protection.

hi

if I substitute the tr.apk.patch in your tool with last version of tr.apk ( downloaded from http://towelroot.com and rename it in tr.apk.patch... and zip the pack again ...do you think that would work for Xperia T and SP using your tool? ??

use this for your SP

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2783885
[Sony Cross-Device General] zxz0O0:
No. But why do you want to use my tool if original towelroot works perfectly?
[Sony Cross-Device General] NinoRapis:
simply because I appreciate your work, and I wanted to make a version compatible for xperia SP and T.... ( like v7_sp_t for example)

HOw do you unroot fully in order to reapply the v7 root.

I am on Z1 and could never get the r/w permissons to work properly and install busybox/xposed etc.

So want to reset handset without root and reapply.

How do i do that?
[Sony Cross-Device General] sharingspider:
U can reflash stock or just reset thru settings
[Sony Cross-Device General] ptoner:
Thanks, I wont lose anything doing a reset?

Also Should i use Towelroot v3 from the site? I have downloaded and ran it... created the towelroot_signed.apk but cant locate it. As I need to stick it onto the phone and install. It should have been in the files folder.

Having some strange issues after successful root on my Z2 tablet SGP521.

The tablet will not connect to any wifi router (even hotstop from my phone) unless I reboot at least 2-3 times.

75% of the time all Google apps also won't work (Play Store, Gmail).

I did a search and found a few other users that had Google issues, but saw no definite reply on how and why this is happening.

Any ideas?
[Sony Cross-Device General] wilson pickett:
just dropped in to say thanks for the root on

a new c6906.

i haven't read all the thread pages to see

if someone else had success on that model.

so i'll report mine.

quick,easy,perfect.

thank you.

over.
[Sony Cross-Device General] CAL7:
I've posted on a similar problem, but so far, no solution. Mine is the SGP511. My symptoms are perfect Wi-Fi connectivity, but Google services (mail, play store, drive), as well as Exchange mail and Dropbox do not connect. This may help you: from recovery, "Fix Permissions" and reboot. This solves my problem until the next reboot.
[Sony Cross-Device General] zxz0O0:
Okay, I think I've fixed all errors in the shell script (see v8). Thanks to helpers/testers Sharpless78, Dexxmor and [NUT].

Because I have it from 1 day...and so, I hate SD unwriteable!!! So, this v8 can root my Z1C without problems? I want my bootloader lock, only need root to use SDCard Fix...

If someone has done it, let me know.

One question for zxzo0o :

Patching tr.apk is used to introduce correct modstrings settings or it's anoter modification ?

If it's the second One, what is the target of this patch ?
[Sony Cross-Device General] ruggs1234:
I have managed to root my C6903 Z1, running 757, so I can now run SDFix. Stupid Google and their stupid SD Card restrictions....

I have also frozen the Sony Update Centre so it will never update (or notify me to update) in the future. I can always unfreeze if I decide to risk an update later, but I doubt it!

The phone works great..I am not planning on changing anything!

[MENTION=3975929]zxz0O0[/MENTION],

first many thanks for your work.

A week ago I rooted my Z1c .757 with Easy Root Tool v5, installed Z1C-lockeddualrecovery2.7.127-BETA.installer.zip and flashed

UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.00.zip and had at the first try a rooted system.

Today I updated my firmware with PcCompanion to 14.4.A.0.108. Then I installed Easy Root Tool v8 but I could not get system r/w.

Installing Z1C-lockeddualrecovery2.7.128-BETA.installer.zip succeeded, but not UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.00.zip.

So I have a non rooted Z1c with frequent reboots :(

You need to use the NDR Utility in order to switch the boot up recovery from TWRP.

does the root stick without installing superuser? does it also stick if you reset the phone (not update firmware)?

your update didn't wipe the towelroot patch but did wipe the ric-kill patch - hence half root. yes everyone, you will need to re-easyroot after 4.4.4 update to reinstate the ric kill (or flash a ric kill kernel)

[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
People having this issue do this:

First and foremost: Make sure your device is set to MTP USB mode.

Reboot the Pc;

exit/close Pc Companion (it typically starts automatically)

Make sure that there is nothing active which has adb/fastboot capabilities: open the task manager and kill adb, fastboot, FlashTool, SUS and Pc Companion

Also, try reinstalling the FlashTool drivers, use USB Deview (Google for it!) to uninstall the drivers first.

Any help gladly appreciated.

Here is the error I'm receiving:
[Sony Cross-Device General] iBuzman:
[MENTION=897781]kanej2006[/MENTION] - is the "make it rain" button appearing on your phone and what happens when you press it (I presume this is when the errors happen but thought better ask)

Thanks for your reply iBuzman. Unfortunately I do not get any sort of message appearing on my phone.

Once continuing with the command prompt instructions, I get other messages and then I tap the space bar, unplug phone and enjoy root. :D

Now all is good.

Thank you.
