Hi Guys cant seem to get recovery working here. Bootloader locked. Any suggestions? Tried it using pc with latest adb drivers from flashtool, tried the app no go. When I try to access the recovery all I get is a black screen. Good thing is I could still boot in normal. Help.

[Xperia Z General] starmann:
I am desperate!

Hi guys!

I'm wondering if it works on Sony Xperia Z5 with Android 6.0? I am desperately looking for how to root my phone easily with an app like you made but I find nothing. Is there any possibility to root a Z5 with anodird 6.0 without TWRP and all the process that they explain here [GUIDE] Sony Xperia Z5 - UNLOCK / ROOT / TWEAKS - OS 5.1.1 / 6.0 ? If there is not any easy way so how can I downgrade to 5.1.1? I didn't find anything about it. I appreciate very much if someone can help me with this issue.

Thank you.

Same here with the SUperSU Me, stays at preparing environment....?
[Xperia Z General] pertsavk:
Did this. For some reason I decided to try first with Kingroot 4.5. Worked like a charm. Just had to manually remove the Kingroot icon and some residual files. IIRC I have tried this once before, ending up with a bootlooping Z. I think the newer (than 4.5) Kingroots have some nasty traps built in and that's the reason. No problems this time. Now just back up the TA, install recovery and some quality time with roms...

So, in a nutshell:

Device: C6603

Android version: 5.1.1 10.7.A.0.228

Kingroot 4.5 (see 1st post, downloaded apk using that link)

Super SuMe (apk from 1st post)

Proceeded as advised

Removed trash manually

All is well.

Hey Guys ...

I need some help please ... today i installed and updated my Sony Tablet Z (SG312) to LP 5.1.1 via this rom zip ...

http://xdaforums.com/xperia-tablet-z/orig-development/rom-pre-rooted-lollipop-t3115002

Note: My bootloader is stock Sony still locked

I installed the rom via CWM which i already had installed from updating to JB quite a few years back ... The 5.1.1 ROM installed ok and after rebooting and going through the initial android setup everything looked ok except i had no root. So i used the method detailed in the 1st post of this thread. Which also seemed to go well .. Installed Kingroot, then SuperSU .. updated SuperSU binaries ... all good

As instructed i then uninstalled Kingroot via the in app uninstall option ... the device rebooted and thats where things have all turned very pear shaped.

The device is now stuck in a boot loop, i cant even power off the device and worse i cant get back into CWM to re-flash the rom, having never experienced this sort of issue before i'm really at a loss as to what to do ... any and all help will be much appreciated.

Really really hope this hasn't bricked it ..

Cheers

Jay

Update-1: Have been able to turn device off by holding power button and vol up for around 10 seconds until led flashed 3 times

Update-2: Ok good news managed to get back to 4.3 using flashtool :-

I've done all the steps and then restarted the phone and when it's on it just get a black screen :( when it's loading it shows the xperia and android logo but after done, just black screen, please help
[Xperia Z General] Aluvian:
Hi i have same problem :( Did you fix it somehow?
[Xperia Z General] Magik6k:
I had the same problem, and managed to solve it:

1. Get flashtool from flashtool.net/downloads.php, install(if needed, dunnno, I'm using Linux), run it

2. Click on XF button

3. Find Xperia Z, or whatever model you have

4. Select proper model(mine was C6603, look at bottom of your phone)

5. Select Central Europe/Customized

6. Click button under your phone to start download, and wait till it finishes

7. Close download/software windows, wait as flashtool does some stuff

8. when ready click lightning icon

9. Select downloaded firmware

10. Highlight system from content(this may not do anything, but I did it and it kept all my data)

11. Click flash and wait, when the progress bar is near the end it may seem frozen, just wait a bit more, don't unplug anything.

12. when flashtool says it's done, unplug the phone and boot it

Hope it helps. Also, thanks for letting me know that this app is not working

i have the same android version, tried many times kingroot 4.5/4.6, flashef stock ftf, but no success. how do you do the rooting process?
[Xperia Z General] Valphard:
Okay

so everything worked and then I have the same issues : Reboot loop.

I don't understand, I turn it off by force, and then it's the optimization of the app loading screen (it say 279app, the next time 235, then 279, then 233 etc everytime I restart it it change), everything is good, and then it stuck on the "launching of the app" loading screen.

But I don't understand, my phone vibrate when I receive a text ! What the hell !! Why won't the damn loading screen just disappear ! Please, help !

EDIT: It turned off by itself and then got stuck on the purple starting screen (you know with the wave), and so I forced to shut down again and now here we are back at the start with the same problem.

I beg of you, please help...

root with kingOroot, install recovery and flash supersu. easiest method
[Xperia Z General] C6603:
So, download source is kingoapp.com, android version? Also, should I use supersu file provided here or to download (udated, I suppose) version from Playstore? Finally, I do not want to flash any custom ROM for now (running 5.1.1), so I don't need recovery then, right? Thank you
[Xperia Z General] n053x:
yes, kingoapp.com. you need recovery to flash supersu zip for replace kingoroot root binary, or use super-sume(which is don't work for me but others use it daily)
[Xperia Z General] Justin14p:
On step 6 after (successfully) binary update my phone rebooted.

But, It bootlooped, then restarted and normally launches (but it takes about 10 minutes).

Even in safe mode

Justin14p, i get the same trying to do this yesterday.

everything work fine and i get the root access. but once i restart the phone, the problem come.

apparently, all the apps, camera and even display doesn't work. i can only see the shut down and restart after pressing the power button. i have to repair it using Xperia Companion and the root access and the files are gone. now doing the second attempt.
[Xperia Z General] Justin14p:
Um... I forgot about Xperia Companion, thanks for reminding me that :D

Edit: Um... "unlock your screen"

So I flashed my phone back to nonrooted, noncustom firmware

Just stop at step 3 (don't install supersume), and use only Kingroot

Anyone here know how to unroot and root again the easiest way?

Thanks in advance
[Xperia Z General] AttilaGolik:
For everyone who suffers from black screen and application FCs after reboot this is my method:

1. Download KingRoot 4.6 and Super-SUme from the first post

2. Download SuperSU from this post and put it on SDcard

3. Install KingRoot 4.6, after that open the app and tap "Try to Root" and let it settle

4. Install Super-SUme, after that open and give the app permission

5. Tap to the blue button and let it settle but DO NOT REBOOT after it's done

6. Download and install XZDualRecovery following this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2261606

7. Reboot to Recovery and flash SuperSU from SDcard

8. Then reboot, wait for the application optimization

9. Go to root/system/app/Kinguser and delete the FOLDER of Kinguser(include kinguser.apk)

10. Reboot and done

Hey bro.

I've got an Xperia Z that is completely untouched so far (in terms of software changes.)

OS: 5.1.1 Build Version: 10.7.A.0.222 (completely stock)

So, with locked bootloader, will your method work if I follow it step-by-step as you mentioned?

Some users with latest official firmware were having bootloop issues following some rooting methods.

Just want to be perfectly sure before starting the procedure. Thanks.

Also, I need root to backup my DRM Keys. So installing a custom recovery and following your procedure would disturb my DRM keys?
[Xperia Z General] AttilaGolik:
I've done it with 10.7.A.0.228, completely stock, locked bootloader, so I think it will work on .222 too, because the diference between these two versions is minor and both 5.1.1. I've tried the guide from first post and I suffered from FCs and black screen with only reboot or power off after application optimization. I've also got bootloop once, so I decided to do an "all in" and tried what I wrote and it worked. But as everyone and every guide tells you: I'll not be responsible for any damage, so do it on your own risk. DRM keys backup only need if you unlock your booloader. Rooting your phone with locked booloader won't affect your DRM keys and you won't loose anything. If you try this let me know how is it done :good:
[Xperia Z General] dj.adil:
Thanks for your reply.

I'll try your method and then report back soon.

[Xperia Z General] pertsavk:
Returning to the thread after a while. What I didn't mention was that the sw versions are important. The newest is not always the best, I think that the newer versions of KingRoot have grown more clever when it comes to being kicked off the throne by supersu and it tries to defend itself by manifesting nasty behaviour like bootlooping. So that's why one should use a combination already seen functioning. I have this z1 which I used to fiddle with and that's my conclusion based on what I saw on that.

Edit: after mentioning the Z1 I thought why not give it a go while I'm here. C6903, stock Lollipop 5.1.1 (14.6.A.1.236). So I opened the first message of this thread, and repeated what I did with the Z. Oh yes, we have the Root. Not even needed to clean up afterwards. Just follow the steps one by one and do what you are told to - except the step where it tells you to use the latest KingRoot. Just don't. Use the older version of the two included in the first post instead.
[Xperia Z General] JeanP3te:
I tried AttilaGolik method, but same black screen problem on 228 (I tried with KingRoot 4.5 and 4.6). Did someone find a solution, please?

Maybe I didn't flash SuperSu correctly using Recovery. Is there a tutorial, please?

Can't downgrade using Flashtool as BL can't be unlocked.

Sorry I'm a true noob.

[Xperia Z General] gsm-man:
Hi

I have a problem with this. I followed the instructions to the t (used KingRoot 4.6) and wonder why this happens:

- root checker confirms everything is rooted properly

- an app named "Purify" was installed but could be uninstalled the normal way

- the kingroot app now identifies itself as a system app and can't be uninstalled

- es file explorer pro can't be used for root file exploring. I know I purchased it years ago for this purpose but when I flip the switch to enable root functions supersu pops up, I grant permission to use root and a few seconds later in es file explorer pro the root switch is turned off automatically. When I look at the logs in supersu I have an awful amount of entries like "needs supersu pro".

What is going on here? I'm poor and need to use this phone as a daily driver and because it lacks a few things I want to add them via apps that need root. Is everyone ****ing me from all angles at the same time now? Are they all trying to make a quick dollar on the side from people like me? Because really, I think my problems are not that I rooted incorrectly (hardly possible if you can read) but rather that apps misbehave on purpose. Is this possible? This idea seems to be reinforced by the Kingroot app which claimed that rooting was done incorrectly (after I went through the whole procedure and after it itself told me that everything was alright after the first time using it)

BTW, why is everyone talking about Android 5.1.1 for this phone? After a few unsuccessful ventures into the realm of custom ROMs I searched the latest official file available for my German Z1, flashed it with flashtool, and have Android 5.0.2 now with no OTA update available. What does this mean?

This is not the usual "won't sync" topic as the problem is that my app just randomly not displays or doesnt display some songs or albums, even though i have them uploaded for months.

Say I got two artistX albums, I know I got them because the play.music.com shows them to me, and Last week the app played them on my phone. Now I cleared the cache, and refreshed like ten time but the app only shows me one album, and on this album, only a few songs.

I uninstalled, cleared, and re installed, then same issue but other songs and other artists... Completely random...

i even re flashed my stock rom, but no way....

Hello all,

Problem: my S5 SM-G900F has ''Reactivation Lock'' enabled.

ROM: XtreStoLite 2.2 (touchwiz based)

I tried to get into my recovery and it gave me Custom binary blocked by Reactivation Lock instead. It seems Reactivation Lock is enabled. This happened to me after (not directly) I had flashed XtreStoLite 2.2 ROM. The thing is that I don't remember enabling anything, and I can't find the option to disable it in this ROM either. Also I never made a Samsung account in order to enable this lock. And it looks like I need a Samsung account to disable it again. So how can I disable it if I don't have a Samsung account in the first place?

I tried to flash recovery via Odin, but that just failed. I also tried to do a factory reset from the settings menu but then settings app just crashed and nothing happens.

I really hope someone can help me... Thanks in advance!

I had already flashed a lollipop version via the same way. But I see you say KitKat, and probably for a reason...

Now with the Stock Lollipop ROM which I flashed:

-In download mode I can see Reactivation Lock is ON.

-It shows a Samsung icon to add an account in account settings. But selecting it results in nothing.

-Factory reset doesn't work. Results in endless loop <next> <next>....

-In settings>security Reactivation Lock can't be disabled. It just turns itself on automatically.

I'm downloading a KitKat version now. Hope that solves the problem.

For the ones that might have same problem as I had:

Download KitKat firmware and flash it using Odin. If you get an error (because downgrade from L to KK) get yourself the right .PIT file for re-partitioning your phone.

On some point got the Samsung lock thing which wanted me to log in. Just made a Samsung account and logged in. Now it's all working fine and Reactivation Lock is disabled via the settings.

Disabling reactivation lock - another solution

I encountered the same problem with the reactivation lock after flashing xtresolite (lollipop) onto my g900f. I followed the steps to download the stock KK rom, flash from Odin and reboot. At this point I got stuck on the boot screen (not boot-loop) indefinitely (until 2% battery). After flashing KK, removing battery and reinserting it I was then able to boot into the stock recovery. I did a factory reset and wiped the cache and rebooted. The phone now boots normally into stock KK rom and I was able to deactivate the reactivation lock using my samsung account.
