Where do I start?

...

Why would you do this? This guide is to root when you're already on 10.5.1.A.0.283. It says as the first requirement in the first post that you must already be on that firmware.

Flashing the 283 kernel does just that. It flashes the kernel only and doesn't alter the firmware in any other way. Flash a complete 10.5.1.A.0.283 FTF from the general section first, then follow the guide to root.
[Xperia Z General] pcb_one:
Yes, I finaly understand, thanks, I have to have a 283 FW first... :) Sorry ...

Don't know why I thought this would be OK... Sorry...

[Xperia Z General] mr_esmit:
You're supposed to root after flashing the first kernel. Then shut down and flash the second kernel.

error

my device not support towelroot. why is that?

---------- Post added at 10:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:35 AM ----------

my device not support towelroot, why? even thought is my device is Xperia Z type 10.5.1.A.0.283 ver 4.4.4
[Xperia Z General] kingvortex:
Did you follow the steps properly? It has worked for over 2000 people and I'm sure your device isn't special in some way. Try one of the other methods of root listed in step #4.

Also, please remove the quote of the OP from your post. It's considered bad manners to do that, as it makes the thread hard to read for others.

[MENTION=2452820]kingvortex[/MENTION], you're a very very patient man! I'd have locked this thread down pages ago!
[Xperia Z General] kingvortex:
Hahaha. :)

I am.....sometimes. I knew that creating a guide would cause questions, so I don't mind really. The kernels have been downloaded over 3000 times now, so this thread probably stopped many repeated threads asking how to root, so it's worth the minimal effort of maintaining this. ;)
[Xperia Z General] sk_siddhant:
Wifi Issue :(

Wifi not even detecting. :(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(
[Xperia Z General] kingvortex:
When? If after flashing the 230 kernel, that is normal and is written in the guide. You will get wifi back when flashing the 283 kernel.

If you mean after flashing the 283 kernel, then try rebooting. I didn't have this problem and neither did any of the other 3000 people that used the kernels.
[Xperia Z General] jugalthakkar:
Unrooting?

Great tutorial! Finally gave me the courage to root keeping the bootloader locked.

Any particular set of steps to un-root after rooting with this method?
[Xperia Z General] kingvortex:
Happy to help. :)

To unroot, simply select "Full unroot" in the settings section of SuperSU.
[Xperia Z General] viking666:
Thanks for this guide - worked perfectly first time!

i just bricked my phone, loading bar got stuck like 30 mins and phone doesn't boot i had c6602 and i just want to know if i can unbrick my phone? when i try to turn it on just vibrate and my pc reconigze my phone in flashmode help, thanks :D

btw i tried flashing .283 with same results :/
[Xperia Z General] kingvortex:
Flash a complete stock FTF. I don't know what happened as many, many people have followed this guide successfully (over 3000).
[Xperia Z General] Jun33r:
i just did that and same stuck at flashing data, tried changing usb cables, ports and still same :s
[Xperia Z General] RubnLee:
Well done

Thank's, works perfect for my C6603 4.4.4 nice job :victory:
[Xperia Z General] technaudio:
Try downloading a different ftf file, the one you have may have something missing. Especially if you downloaded through xperifirm, sometimes files aren't available on the Sony server and xperifirm will say this file is not needed, but sometimes it actually is. I had this issue when i tried the UK O2 firmware.
[Xperia Z General] tg2012:
Is this a new update because I just got a notification on my phone to update to this...which I can't because of existenz, on my xperia z. Just curious if this is a new firmware update
[Xperia Z General] LovelyGoat:
You say the kernels should only be installed on Xperia Z devices. Is there a similar method/kernels for ZR/or other Sony devices?

PS: tried EasyRoot by Doomlord couple of times. But the program can't seem to connect to my phone. I've done all the steps so dont know what the problem is.
[Xperia Z General] kingvortex:
Yes. It's Android 4.4.4. Please ask general questions in the Q&A section. Thanks. :)

Use this method, but with the kernels from here.

[Xperia Z General] Jun33r:
If you upgrade from ota, root should stay worked for me but i just unrooted my phone
[Xperia Z General] Nokow:
Whats the next version from mine? i cant find no link...:confused:
[Xperia Z General] kingvortex:
Use the latest Flashtool to download and make an FTF of your own or just download a FTF from the general section and flash it with Flashtool.

If you have any more questions, please open a thread in the q&a section, as this thread is regarding gaining root, not updating. Thanks.
[Xperia Z General] hunting_:
Nice anyhelp I don't have laptop how can i root

Thanks
[Xperia Z General] kingvortex:
Basically if you're already on 10.5.1.A.0.283, you can't. The other way of rooting is to unlock your bootloader and you need a PC/laptop to do that.

My device say towelroot got virus
[Xperia Z General] androidfreak70:
Root your device with it then delete it.

TapaTalked from my MultiROM Xperia™ Z (C660²) running Dirty Unicorns OR PAC MAN ROM!
[Xperia Z General] kingvortex:
Your device/antivirus software is wrong (mostly).

Almost all root exploits trigger virus warnings because of their nature. They exploit security vulnerabilities to gain write access to /system to root your device. The same vulnerability that towelroot, Easy Root and Flashtool uses (CVE-2014-3153) could technically be used for nefarious purposes (and this is why OEMs like Sony patch these exploits when found), but in this case it's just used to root your device.

It's up to you if you trust it, but it's by a known, trusted developer (GeoHot) who is highly unlikely to be stealing your data.
[Xperia Z General] androidfreak70:
I don't even trust the antivirus softwares and I believe they create viruses itself :p. My PC and phone without any antivirus software. And they are perfectly fine :)

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zyquil:
So I'm going to acquire my own Peregrine in a few days, just getting stuff ready.

If I were to scout for a rom right now, which one would be best for a daily driver?

I've been lurking around the Official CM11 thread for the Peregrine but it seems that it's having Wifi troubles and whatnot, and is still in Nightly.

Now, the question remains, which of the already available ROMs aside from CM11 would be nice? Like it wouldn't have major issues and all?

Also, does Root come by default upon flashing a ROM or does SuperSu(or whatever's available) have to be flashed thereafter?

Thanks,

Zyquil
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zyquil:
Indeed, yes.

Seems like CarbonRom is working well for people, and is feature-rich too.

But I am yet to try it myself.

Just hope that the PA development for Peregrine won't die out.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laufersteppenwolf:
There is no such thing as a "best ROM/kernel/mod/whatever", which is why we do not allow such threads out of respect for the developers.

Just head over to the dev section and try a few yourself, then you can decide which ROM suits you the best.

If you're already on stock Sense 6 before doing these steps, I would think flashing stock recovery is enough. Then you can manually boot into the OS and do a factory reset from within the settings, before sending it off for warranty repairs.

Anyone have any ideas why when a call has been completed with the Itech (S38) headset the voicedial window pops up? It happens every time a call is completed, regardless of whether the call was answered using the answer button on the headset or phone. I can't find where to disable voicedialling either as I would be happy to switch it off.

It's very annoying!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] nuclear:
Does this Itech headset have a feature to allow quick switching between Home Phone and Cell Phone? Like you press a button on the headset and you choose the Home phone or Cell phone? Because my plantronics allows me to do so but I wanted to check this Itech headset out because many people are talking of it and i got recommendations to buy it.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] ly340077:
Switching

I don't beleive so. Once paired to the device of choice it just allows call answer via the blue LED button. This button also acts as the activator for voicedialling when in standby, which is where the problem may lie? It's just confusing as when not using the blue LED button to answer a call the voicedial window still popo up when the call has ended.

Search only points out this guy having the same problem as me.

So yeah, basically that. Any way I can disable vibration when the phone is on ring?

Hell, even 15 year old Nokias have this option, and so did my iPhone 4.

This is what I want: When the phone is on vibrate, I want it to vibrate and not sound. When the phone is on ring mode I want it to sound but not vibrate.

I know this is kind of stupid, but it annoys the hell out of me for some reason.

Do I have to install some kind of app or something? I know of other Android devices that can do this (my brothers Xperia U for example).

I tried this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=Orion.Soft and disabled vibration on ring (normal mode) but it made no difference.

Is this some known issue with opo or my device just making me headtache?

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crispin20:
Hello All,

I too was facing issue with the Bluetooth connectivity. My headphone "Jabra Halo Smart" worked perfectly fine with other android devices but my OnePlus One. Issue i faced was that my at times my headphone would get detected but the headphone controls wont work. It was really irritating as i could not use the functionality of my headphones. :(

What i did was went into the Bluetooth options. Clicked on the setting icon beside my headphone and unchecked and rechecked the options.

Another action i performed was un-pairing the Bluetooth headphones from my device and resetting my headphones paired setting.

Third option was resetting the Jabra app that i installed on my mobile.

Fourth action is restarting your OnePlus device.

The above actions i performed in different orders. So one of them should surely help.

Suggestion provided by OnePlus Call Center: (which i did not need to try :p )

--> switch off the device

--> Press power+vol down button simultaneously

--> Select English language

--> wipe cache partition

--> wipe cache

--> reboot device

Advice while using Bluetooth headphones or speakers (especially Bluetooth devices having the functionality to connect multiple devices)...switch off the Bluetooth device and then switch off the Bluetooth of the host device (mobile, laptop, etc) and then connect the Bluetooth device to the other host device :cool:

Do not keep two host devices Bluetooth on...at times it causes to store the connection setting in the cache causing the Bluetooth device to act strangely. :cyclops: :cyclops: :cyclops:

Does anybody use an exposed framework on P7-L10?
[Huawei Ascend P7] arthios:
I don't think it matters which variant of the P7 you have. I recently tried a custom ROM by Lishuo which is based on B124 for the L07. Even Xposed 2.5 wouldn't install. I have no problem with my current ROM although I can't upgrade Xposed beyond V2.5. I suspect the earlier builds of the P7 stock ROMs are compatible (up to a point) with Xposed, but the later builds are not.
[Huawei Ascend P7] PrimuSSaintS:
I'm on stock rom and I use Xposed version 2.5

Stock B126 with Exposed 2.6.1

But using only for XPrivacy.
[Huawei Ascend P7] PrimuSSaintS:
The problem is not the version of Xposed, the thing is you could be using the latest 2.7 version but it doesn't work on our devices for any "theming" thing. I guess it would work for XPrivacy but not if you want to use, lets say, GravityBox to theme the navbar.
[Huawei Ascend P7] sarcastical:
I've had Xposed for some time, used it for Snapchat modules, and it worked fine. I installed GravityBox [KK] today and for some reason whenever I try to open it I get "GravityBox system framework not responding. Exiting."

Is it because I don't have theme engine disabled or is it something else?
