[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XZ2-521:
Hi,

I made this post cause i want to root my device Xperia Z2 (SGP521) using Backup TA v9.11 (2014-06-15) and i don't want to make a mistake..and actually need more info to do it.

I hope it'ok for anyone that will try to help to be very clear, with the most details possible.. that a very beginner as me could manage to understand what is about.. Thanks a lot all of you !

First of all, i will short present me as it is for me the first time i register in a forum, and also very new user of mobile android device.

I have very very knowledge in computer, i never had to actually.

I just made the step forward on purshasing a tablet just a few days ago, and was very surprised how the android system was locked, all this permission facts, and not being my own administrater on my Xperia Z2 just fresh bought.. Bad surprised for me, and was ready to give it back to the supplier.

And so i tooked the non easy decision for a novice as me who do not understand a word, to root my device, with hope that all will be ok with that.

After 2 days of deeply looking in the net, i filter all the tutorial for rooting and finaly decide to start with this link:

" http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2784900 "

I very carefully read all was post and comes to need a back up in case i would have to give back my device to guaranty or any other reason for, this brought me to download "Backup TA v9.11 (2014-06-15)" on a USB Key pluged in a frends computeur that i am using now to write you this mail.

Reading the instruction here:

" https://github.com/DevShaft/Backup-T.../changelog.txt "

..I have to say that it's not easy for me to understand how exactly manage to do this renamed actions, where to do it, .. i am very lost at the moment actually and wish to perform of the back up in this USB Key and then procide to the Root session as soon as possible and use normaly my tablet with a good security.

Please let me ask you few questions:

(Can you reply or tell me how i can get this information, i hope it is not too much and i send you all my thanks)

1a--Where and how can rename this script?, when do i back up my device in the root process?, how to do it step by step, please?

1b--What is to make sure no other script or application wish using adb running? (my friend computer have a mouse with usb cable,and the key is plug in, and the Xperia.. Can i ask you please when do i have to plug in the Xperia ?)

1c--What is to make sure the device is booted in normal mode means ?

1d--Than i press the "Backup TA commande folder" and follow,..right ?

THAN FEW MORE QUESTIONS:

3--Do i have to download before with "PC companion" the new version 167 for Sony of android for Xperia avalable or it is ok to stay with "4.2 android" ?

AND FOR ROOTING:

4--If i did understand well i have to first know my device name: SGP521, than Open "developer options" to make "enable debugging", than in security enable "unknow sources" setting. i think i am ok for this part ?

5--Than the drivers session in windows 8 asus new computer of my friend: when i plug the tablet it says that it have the last pilotes for the Xperia Z2 after downloading it automaticaly, so do that means that i do not have to download it ?

6--Than i did download "Easy root kit last version V12.3" on the USB Key. Please when do i use the program? After back up, right ? i know it seems stupid question but it is very important to start learning with good bases..and i have no one on this..

If you can tell me the steps using Easy root kit..thanks a lot!

Well.. i hope this post is not too long, it is my first one ever, i just want to be as clear as possible.
