[Sony Cross-Device General] sxtester:
Say, if your BL is unlocked anyway, why are you trying to get root by an exploit in the first place? Use a pre-rooted FW and flash via recovery.
[Sony Cross-Device General] joseangel.alv:
Well!... So the easy and 'clean' method is the same in both kind of bootloaders: 'To use a pre-rooted FW and flash via recovery'.

The only difference is that if your BL is locked, you need to begin the process with a previous firmware version, with root privileges and recovery... Once done, the rest is the same in both cases.
[Sony Cross-Device General] sxtester:
The point is this: He's asking about EasyRootTool but he doesn't actually need it to work.
[Sony Cross-Device General] kingvortex:
Agreed. I didn't notice his bootloader was unlocked. I now edited my earlier post with an easier root method which should work (but he didn't say which firmware he was using). :)

Hi all,

just reporting,

I broke my beloved Z ultra.. Bought a second hand galaxy note 3 but was missing ma big screen too much ! So bought a new Z ultra (price has seriously dropped). Powered on, got the OTA update (4.4.4 update) and was worried about root.

I tried this method and it works. 1st time I got stuck on "cleaning .." I forced the device to reboot and re-ran the utility, then it went smooth until I got confirmation my device is rooted.

Rebooted and installed SuperSU pro from playstore and was back to enjoying my Z ultra baby again.

THANKS, it works on Z Ultra C6833 !

Downgrade to 4.4.2 firmware with Flashtool, root your device with Easy Root Tool, update to 4.4.4 via OTA or install custom recovery and flash prerooted 4.4.4 firmware in that.
[Sony Cross-Device General] potter3390:
I was afraid that was the only option, but the last time i could't update with ota, thats is why i use pccompanion.

Well i should prepare, first one question (since i'm new with this device), i must back up the drm key? (i'm not really sure what thay are use for)

NDRUtils allows to reboot to recovery directly. And set default recovery (TWRP/Philz). As far as I know there is no recovery for Z2 Tablet yet.

Hi, a new Xperia Z Ultra (6806) user here

If I want to root but not custom roms and stuff, I do not have to install custom recovery, nor do I have to unlock the bootloader, correct? I need root for some apps and adblock/firewall, but not really into flashing custom ROMs. I may still back up the TA partition just in case.

I am coming from Nexi and this is my first Sony device. Thank you for your help and hard work.

Edit: I downloaded adb drivers directly from Sony here -> http://developer.sonymobile.com/downloads/drivers/xperia-z-ultra-c6833-c6806-c6843-driver/ These drivers should be fine, right?

Edit 2: Assuming I can simply have root access but nothing else (no custom recovery or unlocked bootloader), will there be problem if I want to flash factory image (i.e. unroot) in the future?

Do you have ADB drivers installed for Windows? In other words, when you go to Device Manager with your phone connected (USB Debugging ON), you should see "Sony xxxx ADB Interface Driver."
