Earlier comments, you said that you dont want to get your work shared in other forums and instead you said that people would use translate... So here is the problem, this guy prob. Has a problem and he is writing in his language.

What if someone translated this topic to thier language, wouldnt it be easier to solve problems? Sir, no offense but you are just being a crybaby about getting your work shared. What do you expect to see? We are living in earth and there are people in different countries that buy this phone. You cant want them to know english. And you are wanting them to translate a whole important and risky operation. This is your problem. Just saying the truths, no offenses...
[Sony Xperia C4 Guides, News, & Discussion] bigrammy:
You have some nerv :rolleyes:

First Posting in English is xda forum RULES not mine try read them sometime. If you have some problem with that talk to the Forum Mods not me.... :mad:

Next I think this person has done the procedure already on 5.0 so he/she must of already done the procedure once. If they posted in English I/we would have a better understanding of where they are at.

I have no objections to anyone translating the procedure into any language they like. :silly:

Here is an idea for you although I should not need to explain it to you!!

If you're a linguist and can do a better job than Google then start a thread in the Xperia C5 section saying C4/5 blaa blaa procedure translated. Translate the procedure to "Whatever languages" upload it to google docs then share the link in the new thread you made.

I will even give the links in the OP.

I am not a cry baby so dont abuse me!!

There are right and wrong ways of doing things simply cloning my thread into your Forum is the wrong way. :(

BTW: I am glad to see my work on your forum HERE also you been such a multicultural person why would you use this as your Avatar on that forum it's NOT the most multicultural of philosophies I have seen.........

It's something I do not wish to be associated with though so please change it or remove my work. Thanks

Thread cleaned of OT posts and non English posts.

No.

Our rules state that you have to use English when you post, no exceptions.

Its not a hard rule to follow.

And try to respect the OPs request - No off topic posts
[Sony Xperia C4 Guides, News, & Discussion] gsser:
So you are just being selfish. Ok i dont care if i get banned or anything.

1. My avatar has nothing to do with you and thats non of your concern.

2. Just keep expecting from people to use translate to do this whole steps.

3. It is NOT cloning. It is translating the original thread, as i said in my thread, i gave the credits and i didnt said that i made this root or recovery etc.

Last words, just keep expecting. You will get more more more thanks etc. Keep doing what you are doing. You will get more support in that way.

KingRoot to gain ONLY root on C5 Ultra

Hi, I wanted to post a new topic, but since I don't have the minimum required posts, I'll put this here for the moment, I beg forgiveness if I break any rules.

Alright, here it goes:

My Xperia C5 Ultra (single SIM) model E5506 with updated Android to 5.1 build number 29.1.A.0.87 was able to obtain root by simply using the latest version of KingRoot.

BusyBox installs well, Titanium Backup installs correctly as well, although Pro version sometimes is not recognized by TB, and sometimes it is.

This version of KingRoot has an Uninstall section, so you can remove bloatware, however, TB reports them as simply being frozen. Meh.

Naturally, bootloader remains locked, but at least ... ROOT!
[Sony Xperia C4 Guides, News, & Discussion] gsser:
It doesnt work for E5553 5.1 lollipop

Just goes upto %17 then phone reboots and nothing happens. When you open kingroot again, it goes upto %19 and fails...
[Sony Xperia C4 Guides, News, & Discussion] pablo_xperia:
[YOUTUBE]Ko_p5Tv5K9s[/YOUTUBE]

Sorry it didn't work out for you gsser, did you try running it again? I think the official KingRoot site has a computer based root application, check it out as well.
[Sony Xperia C4 Guides, News, & Discussion] gsser:
yea :( unfortunately both of them didnt work. Everytime i tried, got a reboot and after that keep failing... guess i have to unlock bl again..

Edit: worked after some reboot and freeze
[Sony Xperia C4 Guides, News, & Discussion] Junior_one:
Hi!!

sorry for my bad english... :D

i have root with kingroot, but with other version, v.4.8.0. not is the same i found in the page official.

i don't know if i can post link to forum or link to download where i found this version of kingroot and the info, but it's in spanish.

in my case, root was very easy, the application reboot my Xperia c5 when it's at 17%, and when turn on my phone, open again kingroot and continuous rooting with 18%.. the process it's already five minutes

i have root!!!! in my Xperia C5, model E5506, version 5.1, 29.1.A.0.87.

Thanks! I didn't even have to delete recovery.from.boot.p

Thanks for this! I didn't even know it was possible to get TWRP on my Xperia C4 Single (E5303_Customized_TR_1295-8468_27.2.A.0.155_R3A) and kept searching Google for ways to get it on my device to no avail, so I'm happy I stumbled on this thread. You're starting to make me regret my username choice. :/

When I came here I already had adb and fastboot working fine, and I already had my bootloader unlocked by following the instructions on Sony's website.

So, here's the crazy thing I wanted to share from my experience. I skipped the step that requires copying the BETA-SuperSU-v2.52.zip file to my phone's internal memory because I just didn't know it was as simple as opening a file explorer then copying and pasting it. I easily flashed the fotakernel with TWRP and started it up. I was able to see the recovery.from.boot.p in the system directory but just ignored it because I knew after starting up my system then putting BETA-SuperSU-v2.52.zip in my internal storage that I'd have to reflash TWRP. I used TWRP to boot up into the system. Everything was normal (it may have been loading the apps one by one, but I can't remember). I plugged my phone's USB into my computer, put BETA-SuperSU-v2.52.zip in my internal storage, shut down my phone, but then told myself I'd just try to go into recovery anyways. I did it and TWRP opened. I couldn't believe it. Then I installed BETA-SuperSU-v2.52.zip, went to /system just to see if recovery.from.boot.p was there (to be honest, I planned on keeping it instead of deleting it just to see what happens), but I couldn't even find it anymore. It somehow got deleted. I don't know what exactly caused it to be deleted, but it's no longer there. I just wanted to share that in case somebody else wants to give it a shot and see if it works for them, too.

[Sony Xperia C4 Guides, News, & Discussion] bigrammy:
Follow the OP carefully also be sure you use the fastboot.exe in the package and not the google sdk version...

If you are trying to unlock a "carrier" bootloader it still may not work for you.

You could always just use Kingroot to root the phone and push the recovery using adb.

I do not have an OTG cable to test thing right now and I will probably only make changes when MM is released since the entire recovery may need to be recompiled anyway.

I am not sure why otg is so important when you can just move files from and too the phone via USB MTP :confused:

[Sony Xperia C4 Guides, News, & Discussion] bigrammy:
Make sure you are using the fastboot.exe contained in the files download and not the fastboot of google's sdk.

If google's fastboot is in you pc's "path" then that will get used by default.

If this is the case rename the fastboot.exe in the download to sonyfastboot.exe then execute the fastboot cmd's using

sonyfastboot example /whatever

if that dont work then it seems you may have a locked down bootloader. :eek:
