I went with the 2015 edition Moto G, it's fairly similar to the M4, the M4 might have a 8 core Cpu and a extra 1 gb of ram but, to put it pure, the lack of storage defeats the whole aspect of 2 Gb of Ram and a 8 Core Cpu because we can't use apps or that many that will utilize the specs to how the developer intended. It's a lost cause.

And the Moto G's new camera has been taken straight from the Nexus 6, and that camera was rated one the best in a mobile last year.

Also not to mention the horrible heat issue, damn thing is constantly thermal throttling
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] kefetor:
Any update???
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] alby_var:
Guys the method has not work.... or good, flashtool not work. I will show you what i tried:

I extracted system.sin in ext4 and from ext2explore i have converted it in a simple folder.

I have applied a patch for root a firmware (for all sony devices) and recompiled it in img with a program for windows that i find in XDA forum.

Flashtool have a feature that you can flash (in fastboot mode) a system image file (that can be in img,ext4,sin,yaffs2)

I have tried to flash my image but flashtool not do nothing... :(:(

BUT, i will work very hard to find a method, i can't have a phone without root....
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] capoi:
Don't give up bro. I also waiting for a working method to root this phone.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] alby_var:
Trying another method....

...Failed :(
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] verioananta:
I think, You can do that if you had unlocked bootloader. But have u try using m4 flashtool compatible?
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] alby_var:
I have try with Flashtool (generic), can you give me please the link of flashtool m4 compatible?

(My flashtool recognize m4 aqua)

Guys!! Good news!! I have not find a method for root, but our device is not vulnerable to stagefright!!!
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] S7relok:
I'm thinking about a modified ftf with all su binaries and such. Could it work?
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] AndyPhoenix9879:
You can try if you know what you're doing tho lol
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] verioananta:
You can search in m4 aqua general forum.

Ummm must we ubl first for rooting? Waiting for ubl was so long
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] alby_var:
It's impossible to create a customized ftf... because .sin files cannot be repacked and flashtool not allow flashing custom ftf without unlocked bootloader...

I was thinking to send a unique mail to Sony with all our requests for unlocking bootloader for m4 aqua....

Today i tried again to root with KingoRoot but not worked, tried to root with all flashtool exploits... nothing.. :(

I have think to delete all security credentials and try any root apk app. But my m4 not allow to delete that...

Please one of you can try this method..? Go to settings/security/remove credentials (sorry i am italian, i not know how menu appears in english, but i hope you unterstand what i say..)

For those trying to unlock, running the fastboot command will fail, you have to make a ulcode.txt file with the code inside it and use flashtool to unlock it. Follow the instructions in the link in the post I quoted and things should be fine.

Also create a mydevices folder in c:\users\username\.flashtool\custom or whatever directory you chose the home to be just to be safe. The flashtool unlock code window should have the code already in the textbox

i believe the fastest way to root our device is to Unlock Bootloader and flash pre-rooted custom kernel... Build recovery works the same, but I think it´s more difficult. IMO

How to build a custom rooted kernel??

In the github repo for kernels, different branches can give you different devices configs, so make sure the tulip is there

try the sony companion to fix it

also can you upload the recovery file that you made?

I think that if we manage to make a boot.img from the default kernel and ramdisk that is runnable we are one step closer to making a boot.img with a modified kernel, any other opinions?

I've tried the following, that doesn't work:

Unpack kernel.sin to kernel.elf, rename kernel.elf to boot.img

Unpack kernel.sin to kernel.elf, unpack kernel.elf to files 0 (kernel) and 1 (ramdisk), mkbootimage 0 and 1 to boot.img
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Chris_Castro:
Check youtube link

If we manage to extract components of sony kernel

$ abootimg -x boot.img

Then open default.prop to change value ro.secure = 1 to ro.secure = 0 and ro.debuggable = 0 to ro.debugabble = 1

Then repack using gzip, we will have a kernel which is from Sony sources (which means it works with Sony ROM) and flashable to a unlocked bootloader device. From here, I believe is to download SuperSU from market and installing SU binaries.

Check this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1WwSoP1tnM

Then flash using flashtool.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] alby_var:
SuperSU downloaded from market cannot install su binaries, that will be installed from recovery or any other method
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Chris_Castro:
Fact check

Did you actually test it or this is based off your previous knowledge? My point is: were you dealing with insecured kernel? I understand that to install SU binaries on a secure kernel you need an exploit (which we don't have), but I never seen it with an insecure kernel (which we potentially have)...
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] capoi:
Is this normal like you all find a method to roit previous phone. I'm just curious because all of my previous phone already got a tutorial how to root. Is this phone take a longer time than previous model. Sorry for helpless question.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] zw3n:
Maybe the error message about dtb is the key to making the image work, will try to make the boot.img with mkqcdtbootimg provided by Sony.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Hnk1:
READ THIS UPDATE

I think what he means is that flashing ONLY kernel via fastboot mode (custom roms and kernels) with modifications made and added superSU.

However, it wouldnot be possible without an unlocked bootloader. You will end up in a boot loop.

Whereas I do not think, in flashmode, you can try to flash modified kernel. So actually we are stuck here in this regard.

I worked hard finding exploits and to see if something could be done, but, I couldn't find a way. Not even with all those chineese apps and software yielded any positive feedback.

So my only hope now is wait for bootloader to be unlocked and we can think about rooting the device.

So now I have stopped looking into exploits for this device until bootloader is officially unlocked.

I will resume working on it when the boot loader is unlocked.

A piece of advice :

Kindly do not flash anything from other devices as I am reading over this forum as that might PERMANENTLY BRICK your device. It would be as good as a paperweight.

If you do understand the risks and still want to carry on, you are on your own and NO USER would be responsible for your loss even if he suggested something on this thread. So keep that in mind before trying something new.

(I do not have the device and I am more thinking of getting a Moto but I will make sure I carry on with this thread and contribute to the users as much as I can and atleast contribute by giving out a proper rooting method)
