You can indeed get root using this method, but will need to change it to SuperSU before attempting to use Titanium Backup.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Oliver94:
I don't recommend it
[Sony Xperia ZL] atisho:
can I unroot the phone afterward for warranty service?
[Sony Xperia ZL] kyddox:
Why you dont recomed it Oliver?

Dandy, i have been using titanium backup perfectly with this root method, just open king user, revoque the root acces to titanium and open titanium again, it will prompt you for root acces and then it works perfectly

Dlslith, there is no need to change to supersu or super user, i think this cannot be done

Atisho, i dont know a method to unroot Xperia zl on android lollipop, but im interested too, i will be searching and trying

Actually, there is a method right here: http://www.w0lfdroid.com/2015/05/How-to-Remove-Replace-KingUser-KingRoot-with-SuperSU.html?m=1

I used it to change to SuperSU on my XZL 5.0.2 :)

not recomment king root to cause error
[Sony Xperia ZL] kyddox:
Thats interesting, but i really dont have a reason to change from kinguser to supersu, it is true that supersu is well known for all of us, but i have been using kingroot since june 13th and it have been working perfectly, but if you tell me the reason for make this change i will tahnk you

i am using Titanium backup, AdAway (from XDA) and Internet Speed Master (from XDA) and apparently everything is working fine

Works But...

Yes, the Kingroot method does work (you need to have internet access). I have used it to root my Z1, but it is generally considered a "Risky" way to root.

If you need it done fast, it will work. Most people recommend taking the longer process of downgrading to an earlier version, using a root tool that installs SuperSU or Superuser, then installing a recover, and finally installing a pre-rooted version of the ROM you want / need.

The reason that king is considered risky is that part of the root process requires you to have web access and the app sends the phone IMEI number to some unknown IP address in china.

Is that all that Kingroot sends? unknown

What can / do they do with the IMEI? unknown

What else does king user do if the root is sending your IMEI number to china? unknow

Use at own risk. I really was having trouble with my Z1 after I tried to install a rom but it was corrupted and I lost the recovery and root.

I used Kingroot to get root access, then used the root to install a recover, then did a clean install of the full ROM I wanted.

[Sony Xperia ZL] sturmtruppler:
Does anyone know which exploit kingroot is using to get root access?
[Sony Xperia ZL] dhireshmehta:
Hi,

I tried to root on Lollipop using Kingroot, It installed root, then I tried to switch the Root Manager App to SuperSU, In doing this I uninstaled KingRoot, KingUser and all other apps and tried to update binaries with SuperSU which obviously failed.

Now the problem is such that - KingUser is installed as a system app and also the su binaries are loaded. When i type su command from the Terminal i get the following error:

[-] connect ui: timer expired.

Unable to root with any known technique

I have also tried to do a system reset but kinguser still persisted.

Is there any way to wipe /system clear and flash a ftf to start from a clean slate and try rooting again.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] lirong:
All - I am still on my S4. I locked the phone from getting OTA updates from AT&T right after I bought it - which this forum advised so that the bootlocker would not get updated and locked.

I havent taken advantage of this to flash any ROMs, etc., and I am still on 4.2.2 since I have not been accepting AT&T updates.

Im sure this is partly a personal decision, but I was wondering whether its worth upgrading to an S6? What do people think? Not sure how tangible the benefits of an upgrade would be for me...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] DoughMucker:
I have an S4. My wife has an S6. Most noticeable difference is the camera in the S6. Of course, the S6 is "more" in every other spec too. My wife doesn't really notice the lack of uSD card and it's too early to tell what the battery is going to do.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] lirong:
Thanks for the reply.

Is there any real noticeable difference in terms of performance - speed, lag, etc?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] DoughMucker:
I'm running a slimLP jdc optimized build on my S4 and it is very fast. There's no noticeable difference for general usage (phone, text, internet, tapatalk, etc). I've actually turned the CPU performance down to conserve battery. I can't comment on game performance as my wife and I don't game on our phones.

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] DanGeorges:
Just recently (a week or two), when moving out and then back into range for saved Wifi connections (e.g., work and home), the system can't connect because there is an "Authentication problem."

I can resolve this fairly quickly by clicking on the access point and connecting, but if I don't realize it in time, my data plan kicks in and starts eating data.

Any ideas?

I'm on the DEV edition of Sense, but this wasn't a problem prior to a couple weeks ago. I'm thinking that an update is the culprit.

All is explained here :

http://developer.sonymobile.com/201...for-a-range-of-unlocked-xperia-devices-video/

I only created ftf file with this and sharing. I tested it only on my C6903 with unlocked bootloader, so theoretically it may brick your device with locked bootloader (and flashing this on locked bootloader haven't any sense). Bootloader from android 5.0+ is required to working.

I'd like to report that the ftf worked flawlessly for me, on a C6902. I updated to official .216 first, then flashed the ftf.

How should I flash it? Flashtool doesn't see the file. (I tried downloading stock from xperifw and flashtool extracted that successfully...)
[Xperia Z1 General] drakonizer:
I've used flashtool and it's worked for me. In any case, if you've flashed the full ftf for the latest stock, you should already have a standalone recovery partition. Do note that it only works on non stock kernels.

[Xperia Z1 General] SuperLamic:
well I know that I can flash fota recovery (and I'm using it) but I thought that this update should bring me direct booting into recovery. No matter how messed is my main kernel, recovery should boot.

Just to be sure - I have to copy ftf to downloaded in flashtool and then find it after choosing flash mode?
[Xperia Z1 General] drakonizer:
If you've updated to the latest stock, all you need to do is flash a recovery to the actual recovery partition using fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to boot into this recovery while I'm running a stock kernel on my device, but it works perfectly on any other kernel, which is when it's actually needed.

In case you want to flash this ftf anyway, all you need to do is click on the lightning logo on flashtool, select flashmode, navigate to the directory with the .ftf and select the "TA Update" option that comes on the left hand side of the screen.
[Xperia Z1 General] SuperLamic:

You can flash TA/boot bundle from any .236 and you'll be all set... But, as most of Sony's AOSP "innovations", this is just another big NOTHING. There is absolutely no difference between having recovery in FOTA or in a stand alone recovery partitions...

You can use 'make dist' to make a flashable zip when using pure AOSP sources. This is different from the make otapackage of other roms.

The issue appeared in Oxygen. I've since switched to CM12 in hopes that would fix the issue. It hasn't.

I've edited the build.prop files AND the audio_platform xml files that were listed in this thread. I haven't updated the mixer paths, I don't know how to do that/haven't received links to flash

Nothing has fixed this issue, and having a phone that basically only works properly in speakerphone is pretty much useless. I live in Mexico, and my OnePlus is a Chinese version, so I have no warranty. This is software though, there has to be a fix.

I'm going to rollback to stock CM11S and see if the issue persists on the ROM that the phone came with

If anyone has any help/insights, that would be really appreciated. Thanks a bunch
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] caligo:
Hi!

I've had my TyTN for about six months now and i haven't encountered anything like this. Yesterday my phone did a hard reset by itself. The phone had got slow and eventually, it didn't do anything so i pressed the reset button with the stylus. The phone rebooted but it took a bit longer than it usually does, and after the HTC-screen I got a that blue start screen which says "Tap the screen with the stylus to start using your phone" or something like that.

After setting it up all the messages, contacts and calendar notes (and of course everything else on the phone) had disappeared. After a few minutes the phone got stuck again; it didn't do anything even I tried to close the programs I had running (messaging and calendar). So I left it alone for a while to "think" but after app. 5 minutes it was still in the same situation so i pressed the reset button again with the stylus, the boot screen came on and nothing happened after that. I tried to reset it again - nothing. I took the battery out and replaced it - nothing. Nothing seemed to help. I did the hard reset and the phone worked normally again.

Has anyone any ideas what happened? I'm perfectly sure that I didin't press the soft keys while resetting the phone so I haven't done the hard reset myself. I'm going for a holiday to Germany and it wouldn't be very nice if something like this happened during the trip. I have guarantee left on the phone so I'll take it to the service shop.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lehonti:
Hello everyone,

In brief I was wondering if I could somehow turn an Android installation into a GNU/Linux distribution, given that Android uses the Linux kernel. Maybe I can install the GNU libraries and the rest of a distribution on top of the kernel, then deactivate the Android libraries that get on its way? I'm thinking of doing this because the Linux kernel already has all the required drivers for my device so perhaps the only thing that I should do is to tweak some files.

Here is my story:

At work I was given an old and unsupported industrial touchscreen module from a largely unknown company. The screen itself is connected to a computer module in the back, which has connectors for several peripherals, an embedded ARMv7 processor, and runs Android 2.2 (rooted) as its operating system.

I was given the task of finding out in a short time if I can install another operating system in the computer (say, Debian) to use it as a PC.

So I looked for information about this device, but I could only find the document attached.

So far, I have been able to turn it on, to connect it to the internet, to get it to read an SD card, and to connect USB peripherals such as a mouse and a keyboard.

But as for installing a different operating system, I haven't had any luck. I've tried different things. For example, I tried to boot into recovery mode by pushing several combinations of keys, but with no success so far. I've looked at the circuit board, but I haven't seen anything illuminating.

Also, I think that installing a Linux distribution from scratch would be painful, even impossible, because this device is not supported in any form and it doesn't come with a user guide or a software package, so it would be impractical to get the drivers for the device, as they are most likely non-standard.

I mean, is it even possible to accomplish this? Is it practical? How should I proceed? I think it is technically possible, but I'm not a Linux expert, not an Android expert, and not an embedded systems expert so I may be wrong.

I have also looked into other options. For example, the "Complete Linux Installer" Android app. I don't think this would work. The device only has ~100MB of free space in the internal flash memory.

There is also a way to install a GNU/Linux distribution that runs on chroot simultaneously with Android and communicates with it via VNC, called "Linux Deploy", but this sounds like it is not optimal. I don't think it would be a good option because of the limited resources of the device.

Any help will be appreciated.
