For all getting Error patching tr.apk, put this version of towelroot http://www.mediafire.com/download/hath2562jyxipo3/tr.apk in the files directory of EasyRootTool V8

And enjoy ;)

i've just rooted my Z1 under 4.4.4
[Sony Cross-Device General] lelinuxien52:
Thanks. Be cautious, Towelroot'owner doesn't allow mirror of his files. Using "towelroot.com" is mandatory.

No problem for me when I used Easy Root Tool v8 and the latest tr.apk (v3 by towelroot.com) (C6903 / 14.4.A.0.108 <Android 4.4.4> / ADB ON / Windows 7 <64bits>)
[Sony Cross-Device General] ilos:
i don't made any mirror, this link was provided early in this topic, and i had same error of patching, so i'm just sharing this "solution" worked for me :)

Disable your virus guard and firewall till you finish this process. It may block tr.apk from accessing

[Sony Cross-Device General] juanpirulo:
Just download from above link and put it inside the easyrootTool/files folder manuallly. Cheers
[Sony Cross-Device General] kamalmawa:
I'm assuming you are running v8 of the tool. Just to do a fresh start, re download the tool extract it and manually download the tr.apk posted last page by someone on mediafire and put into files folder. Then makesure no pc companion or adb running in the background by end task adb.exe. Then try the tool again
[Sony Cross-Device General] rexboy:
Cheers for the post. everything worked great. installed tr apk directly at first. worked every time but could never update su binaries regardless if from playstore or older versions posted throughout this thread.

Tried your method via easy root and placed the tr apk in the files directory, it also worked but this time it looked like su binaries was updating via the play store. Well it spins for a while, said failed or something like that. had to reboot and then supersu opens but wouldnt refresh. selected reinstall under cleanup. this time after reinstalling again via play it updated the binaries and root checker verifies all is ok.

Okay people, I GOT ROOT. Did it with [NUT]'s towelroot.zip. I tried it before and it didn't work, remember? Why?

Because I was running install.bat as ADMINISTRATOR

It worked. :)

Hi

I have been trying to use this, and it seems to do nothing?

I have Windows 8.1, and my tablet Z has Firmware: 10.4.1.B.0.109

I have all of the prerequisites, but when i run the windows bat file, it just fails and says download towelroot manually.

Please can someone advise? whats the point of this if i have to do it manually?

thanks
[Sony Cross-Device General] aryayush:
Hey. Thank you for creating this.

I have adb and fastboot installed on my Mac and just rooted my Sony Xperia Z1 Compact (running 4.4.2 / .757) using the Easy Root Tool. It went off without a hitch. However, when I am trying to run the DualRecovery script, it’s giving me this error:

I downloaded the file "Z1C-lockeddualrecovery2.7.142-BETA.installer.zip" from the URL you linked to. When I run “adb devices”, it says my device is attached. I navigated to the directory the script is in and then issued the command "chmod +x ./install.sh", which gave me no error or confirmation about whether it worked or not. Then I typed "./install.sh" and hit Return. That’s when it is throwing up the error.

Am I doing something wrong?

I can´t get anyone of the versions 3 through 8 to run, at one point it states "EOCD" is missing and is telling me, tr_signed.apk is not a valid zip file and from there it doesn´t get further.

Might this be a problem with Windows 8 maybe?

[Sony Cross-Device General] Nerre:
Not sure if this has been mentioned before, but during my struggles I noticed that the tr.apk downloaded with curl was a HTML page stating a redirect to https://www.towelroot.com (the curl command uses http, not https).

I'd say this is a bug.
[Sony Cross-Device General] grappapapa:
Hi all,

I have a Z1 Compact (D5503). After updating my Firmware to the latest version .108 using PC Companion (previously was .757) I lost my root, which beforehand was obtained using this easyroot toolkit and towelroot.

When I try to root again, no matter which towelroot apk or easyroot tool version I try, I cannot regain root access. There are no error messages, so it looks just fine, but after rebooting, or according to the new towelroot directly after applying the patch, ther is no root access.

Apart from going the long way with flashtool, is there anything I could try?

Regards,

Chris
[Sony Cross-Device General] nanavati1:
OTA update 14.4.A.0.108
[Sony Cross-Device General] Nerre:
I've been trying this method for two days now, without success.

First the problem as mentioned before: the curl command uses http and the downloaded file is HTML showing a redirect to https. I tried changing the curl command to https, but still no success.

Then I tried to instead download tr.akp manually from towelroot.com.

Still getting MD5 error.

Today I found the posts in this topic linking to a tr.apk on mediafire, but the same problem there.

I have even tried to strip down the install.bat by removing the curl download and the patch command and then manually issuing the patch command (using the tr.apk downloaded from mediafire), but still no success... (I got some error saying that tr_signed.apk was not a valid zip file).

The closest I get is this way:

remove download and patch part from the install.bat

manually download tr.apk from towelroot.com

rename tr.apk to tr_signed.apk

run install.bat

files are copied, tr_signed.apk is installed, towelroot app launches, I click Make it ra1n, but the install script keeps waiting and waiting.

I'm about to give up here, I want root to be able to transfer my apps and settings from my old phone using Titanium Backup, but it seems as if I won't be able to do that... which means my brand new Z1c will have to stay home during my summer vacation :(

I can't figure out why some people manager to use this method while other don't? I'm on Windows 7 and when running bspatch I get a questions about allowing the program to modify my system. Maybe that's a hint to the problem, because I don't understand why Windows would ask that question when patching a file that is not in the system directories?

So, my conclusion here is that there is something wrong with the patch command (possibly caused by Windows). The script seems to need the patched tr.apk do detect that you have clicked Make it ra1n, but the patch command creates an incorrect file (for some reason).
[Sony Cross-Device General] jerdog:
I am having the same problem on Linux. It seems that I need tr v2 in order for this to work correctly. The latest patch file doesn't seem to work with tr v3 (current download from Geohot)
[Sony Cross-Device General] juanpirulo:
What you need is first to delete the easyroottool folder and extract it again from the zip and then copy the tr. Apk that you download from mediafire to the files folder. Howewer you can use a new method its an apk call newroot. Cheers

Also make sure you don't hace any towelroot installed un tour device.
[Sony Cross-Device General] zxz0O0:
Dear people,

As stated before by [NUT], I was on holiday. By mischance it happened, that geohot changed his site & the towelroot app. As I am not sure if I am allowed to redistribute his app (and I also don't feel comfortable with it since it falsifies his download statistics) the tool dynamically downloads the app and adds a patch. This means if the app gets updated, the patch will fail and the tool will throw the md5 error message (as stated on the second post).

I hereby apologize for the inconvenience and have updated to v9. I hope you can enjoy root again now. It should now also properly work on Xperia Z (thanks [NUT]).

Finally I would like to thank [MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION] and [MENTION=4898382]pcpepik[/MENTION] for providing a soulution although many people did not manage to read the last few posts of the thread and therefore missed it..

I'll have a go with version 9 tonight when I get home from work, did you also fix the http vs https issue for curl that I wrote about?

Does that patch to something that can't be done with the new modstrings? (I think avoiding the patch would make it easier)

Thanks
[Sony Cross-Device General] Lunex:
Just solved the same problem.

My computer was not authorized on the phone for the ADB connection.

I disconnected the phone, disabled USB Debugging, plugged the phone back in and enabled USB debuggin again.

On the phone a dialog opend up if i want so authorized the computer.

After this the phone was found instantly by the script.

cheers

P.S. Win 7 64 / Z1 compact

P.P.S. You can check the authorization state: open the adb.exe in the files subfolder via command line "adb devices"

Here it will state connected devices and if they are authorized.

The install.bat, told me everything it's OK, so does the phone, but I can't see any root aplication. What should I do?
