hello, can you explain me how and where running this code ? I have root on .77 but I the system isn't mounted as r/w...I don't understand how to do this...I need to know the previous steps just before running the code(sorry for my bad english)

Worked great on D5803 and fw .93

Worked great on D5803 and fw .93 on first attempt. I was on .77, so I had to downgrade it.

When in doubt, I would recommend the easy path, downgrade, root, backup TA and then move forward again .

Thank you, zxz0O0! Awesome work! :good::good:

I guess you could root now, backup TA partition

When Lollipop comes you can update manually, then unlock bootloader (since you backed up TA already), root Lollipop and slap the DRM back in place?

If your bootloader isn't unlockable, then...you'll need to wait for another exploit.

-On your computer Go to the folder named ''files'' in giefroot.

-In that folder hold SHIFT and right mouse button.

-Select ''open command prompt here''.

-Connect your phone to the pc.

Now you can run the commands.

Ps: when the phone is pugged look at its screen, adb shell may want the confirmation from the superuser and also the RSA confirmation(if you're on windows 8 or 8.1)

:highfive:

[Sony Cross-Device General] Frontier3:
I have searched for this and haven't found a direct answer yet.

After I root and backup my DRM keys, will I be able to upgrade to the newest firmware version while keeping root and having the DRM keys still work?

I know with root I can unlock the bootloader and flash any version but would lose DRM keys. I also know that after doing anything I can reset everything to complete stock with DRM keys intact.

What I want is to be on the newest firmware, with all proprietary sony functions working and with root. And for direct instructions on how to make that happen.

Thanks a lot

Newest firmware (23.0.1.A.5.77) OTA

Well being not a completely noob neither a complete expert on the android development, i am a bit confused about some of the problems here.

I am currently on D5803 23.0.1.A.5.77 Locked BL and rooted

I can understand people are having a bit of a problem obtaining root on the newest firmware (.77) with bootloader locked and maybe i can help and maybe not.

I downloaded the nordic ftf 2.93 and did a complete flash of that firmware. Then i used the GENIUS tool giefroot/install.bat and it worked like a charm (almost)

My device was rooted, but i couldn't use the root to anything. Not even install dualrecovery or remount /system as rw. Being a work phone, i needed the phone working with all my accounts, so i started setting it up and upgrading to newest firmware (I gave up:o)

When the phone settled, i was on .77 still with root (su in /system/xbin), but it still didn't work. I tried installing busybox via flashtool and market but no success here either.

I then copied the busybox binary to /data/local/tmp and used adb shell to "busybox mount -o remount rw /system" and successfully remounting /system as rw.

From there on it was all a walk in the park. Lockeddualrecovery 2.8, then flashing SuperSU and Busybox as .zip through TWRP just to be sure. And i just installed Xposed framework as well. Don't know for what, but i just needed to see if it was working. And now everything does:D

I only had one hiccup after that. The phone wouldn't boot to recovery after i tried to use NDR Tools to rebot to recovery. But i just used the install.bat from dualrecovery again and then it worked again.
[Sony Cross-Device General] abequer:

Download and install D6603 .93 generic/global firmware. This WILL NOT work in D6643 firmwares.

The good news is that a DATA WIPE isn't necessary when changing from D6643 to D6603 (unless the firmwares are not compatible, eg: .77 and .93).

I did the following in my D6643:

Installed D6603 .93 FW without wiping data.

Root with giefroot.

Backup TA.

Installed XZDualRecovery**

Backup Data partition with TWRP.

Unlocked bootloader.

Went back to D6643 FW.

Backup the unlocked TA (so you'll be able to lock/unlock your bootloader without wiping data).

Installed Kernel with recovery.

Root and install XZDualRecovery (using the kernel's recovery).

Turn off the device.

Flash stock kernel.

Restore TA.

Restore Data partition with TWRP.

If you get issues to install XZDualRecovery, the system partition is ro, to solve this, run the following commands in an ADB shell, to remount the system partition as rw;

adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /system

Dear zxz0O0, could you please take a look into this thread?

http://xdaforums.com/z3-compact/help/z3c-rooted-titanium-backup-issue-t3012473

is about an issue we are having with Titanium Backup not integrating or removing stuff from/into the rom.

It was mentioned there a tool you helped to create to disable the RIC, that why I'm bothering you with this.

According to ES File Explorer, I have full rights over the system folder, I could install Xposed and copy/delete a file inside, so yeah, I suppose I have rights over it, but TB is still unable to merge things into the rom.

I did not install any recovery or anything like that, just rooted the phone using V1 of your app and added the missing permissions to write on the SD card on the platform.xml file.

Thanks in Advance for any information you can share with us.

To actually run the exploit, I had to install the java JDK to install the android SDK and afterwards platform-tools followed by the Google USB driver-- quite a bit just to have adb working. I then added adb to my path with setx (this is googleable) and then rebooted.

Then I followed the instructions here to root:

http://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/giefroot-rooting-tool-cve-2014-4322-t3011598

NOTE: The cmd prompt hangs after a phone reboot. This is because it worked and you need to allow the adb shell super user privileges! You should grant them and allow the script to terminate.
