This is a tested & safer rooting guide to root your Karbonn Titanium S200 HD :cyclops:

You can root your phone without any PC. If fails, Try rooting on Windows.

YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR PHONE, ROOTING VOIDS WARRANTY! :good:

Rooting Procedure:

1. Download latest Kingroot apk from http://www.kingroot.net and install on your phone.

2. Do not run unnecessary apps on your phone, connect your phone to internet and open Kingroot app.

3. Kingroot will automatically check your device and gonna show you rooting strategy, try root strategy & wait until it reaches 100% ;) have patience. Do not minimize Kingroot or do not let your screen turned off.

4. Your phone may restart before reaching 100% rooting :cyclops: do not panic, try again! rooting will be resumed.

5. If rooting fails, then restart your phone and try again rooting with Kingroot. Sometimes first attempt fails.

6. I was able to root my S200 HD on second attempt. If you are facing problems while rooting with Kingroot app then download Kingroot for Windows & install on your PC.

7. Turn on USB debugging on your S200 HD. You can enable this option in "developer options". Your phone must be switched on. And then connect to your PC via USB cable.

8. Your PC should be connected to internet. Now, open Kingroot on your Windows on click on root.

It will take few minutes, your phone may restart many times while rooting, no need to worry about it. Wait until you see rooting successful!​

I've been searching for a tutorial of how to root this phone without tripping knox and i do have some files in it (knox) too.

Back in the old days, i was using Galaxy Note 2 and I rooted with KNOX tripped (it was out of warranty already) and the KNOX won;t be able to be access anymore and that's a bad thing :(

So, how to root this thing without tripping knox and still have my warranty covered?

Thanks in advance :)
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] ashyx:
Kingroot or Kingoroot. If it works Do not convert to supersu afterwards.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] mrgwin:
so will the root be permanant if i use kingoroot?
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] ashyx:
Should be.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Eserim:
Is there a reason not ot use super su?
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] ashyx:
It will brick your device unless you install it through recovery.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Eserim:
So, is the method mentioned here (using Super-Sume Pro) on an A3 safe?

EDIT - Sorry, still a Samsung noob (not yet got one and only ever had Motorolas) so didn't notice A7 in thread title
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Tinup93:
so guys i`m an owner of z3c a great phone but lacks the build quality and terrible camera...since i broke the screen i`m planing to jump to

samsung galaxy s6 its a premium tbh but i hate samsung.......or z5c both are same price to me....

so i`ve been following the post of Z5c on sony.talk.....and the amount of defected units is way too high..... them blurry images and rarely dead pixles but its more like 7 out of 10 with defected lens .....is it worth it to take the risk and get the z5c? or is there any more bugs found on this phone hope we can discuss it here even though i dont believe the camera is that great even if the phone is not defected :(
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] KingKonga:
I'll just post my issues with the Z5 Compact:

- Auto-brightness is broken, unlocking the phone with enabled auto-brightness results in a bright display for a couple of seconds --> Sony said that it'll be fixed in the upcoming Marshmallow update

- Lags and inconsistent performance, disabling X-Reality helped a bit. It just doesn't feel like a fast phone, my old HTC One M8 was flying through the system. My brother has a Nexus 6p with the same processor and it feels much smoother, we compared them side by side (opening apps, loading websites).

- Music and Podcasts from different apps (Spotify, Shuttle+, Pocketcasts) are pausing every now and then (already repaired the phone with PC companion and did a manual factory reset, reformatted my external SD card)

- slow camera launch

- it takes a while to look at a taken picture

- active mobile radio bug --> will be fixed in the upcoming Marshmallow update, other Marshmallow phones confirmed that

- slow connection to wifi networks (exclamation mark in the statusbar)

- many bloatware apps from Sony (luckily they can be disabled)

Overall im quite disappointed by this phone because of its lackluster firmware performance. I'm hoping Marshmallow fixes the most annoxing bugs (broken auto-brightness is a pain), if not I'm selling it. I like the slim UI, the design of this phone and the camera. My photos are thankfully not blurred.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] TheEndHK:
I've got Z1c, Z5c and S6. If you love small size, Z5c is the only option. The current problem is software not mature, not to the level you can't real use it as a daily driver but enough to annoy you. We are waiting for MM to fix. Me and my friend both owned Z5c and our lens no blur.

S6 two big issues, other than that it's good. First is poor memory management during heavy multi-tasking(light use okay) and second thing is bad color reproduction(over saturation and too much contrast, auto exposure isn't as accurate) compared to Z1c/Z5c. But I know Z3c white balance is quite buggy even worse than Z1/Z2 line.

I always take photo so camera is most important to me and I tend to stick with Z1c/Z5c and going to sell out my S6 soon. But S6 camera is extremely quick and OIS is useful, for the point and shoot purpose no doubt better than Sony but I just can't use it to shoot out any decent photo though S6 camera got little more details but color is too wrong. Casual user may more welcome S6 camera bcoz they just want speedy.

The current problem on Z5 camera is high ISO bad and 4K focus/quality at low-light even worse than my Z1c. But the focus is decent, slightly slower than S6 but blows Z1c/Z3c. Color and exposure is improved too, I'll say the best I've ever seen. However, if the upcoming MM not fix all issues, I'm thinking to stick with Z1c for a little bit more time and wait Z6c/Z7c.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] daanp123:
To be honest I expected the z5c to suck when I bought it.

Marshmallow wasn't out yet and to me, it looks like the best strategy for sony would be to release ****ty software because MM update would come soon anyway.

Unfortunately, I'm very dissapointed, I agree that the phone is laggy and tend to get way too hot. Batterylife is worse than Z3C. (I could easily last two days, one day is even an issue on this phone) The MM update should have hit the Z5 family end December at latest.

I still have hopes for MM, if you could wait three weeks I would, let's see how it works out. (but somewhere it already feels like I'm going to get dissapointed, I had such high hopes for Sony but I feel betrayed by them)
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] ninestarkoko:
30min Wifi Skype call, temperature reached: 50°C.

So consider also that in some situations the phone overheats easily
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] sveintore:
Wait to see if mm fixes the problems. I went from z3c to z5c. Not very happy. So my tip is to wait for some weeks
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] E5823:
From reading the forums it seems to me that the quality of the z5c handsets Sony has put out is pretty uneven, from poor quality control, different build lines, different rev versions or...?

I'm overall happy, no issues of lags, reboots or the like.

Keep mobile data off almost always so not affected by active mobile radio bug, which is really an Android issue more than a Sony issue if I understand it correctly.

No issues with music or podcasts, listen to pods a lot.

No issues with overheating, it does get quite warm occasionally with heavy use but nothing really bothersome. (I don't play games or shoot video.)

Generally happy with camera, no blur issues, no slow launch issues, though watching pictures/launching album from within camera is really slow. I'm not a keen photographer or a very exigent user of the camera, understand from others there are issues of software limiting the hardware. Definitely could do better in low light.

Agree on the bloatware, have disabled most and wish more was possible. Then again, compared to Samsung or most other manufacturers...

So the issues I have are:

- auto brightness bug, common to all z5 and acknowledged by Sony a long time ago. Disappointing it takes months to issue an upgrade or patch.

- wifi management is confusing. Without Stamina mode wifi keeps turning off in standby/sleep, though I have it set to always keep on. With Stamina mode it stays conected?? Seems counterintuitive. Also occasionally it keeps turning off even then, can't understand why?

- I want to keep wifi always on when connected to a known network, off when no network. Previously Sony had a bundled app, Location based wifi, which took care of it and worked really well. Disappointed they no longer include it, after trying several third party apps I believe I have found one that works.

- battery capacity is ok, not great, but only(?) without mobile data on. Regularly get 6+ hours on screen time which isn't bad, more would be better.

- finger print sensor works poorly and irregularly. Apart from not working if fingers are dirty or damp, which is ok and expected, it works poorly in general. I have five fingers saved, it works well with one of them in certain angles, less so with another finger and very poorly on others. Frustratingly, when I press lock key only to look at time without wanting to unlock it often does just that, more frequently than when i do want to unlock.

Size, ergonomics, hardware quality, waterproof certifications - I'm real happy and see few if any competitors on the market. Software could be better and updates much more frequent, but apart from above mentioned issues my phone is quick and snappy, no lags. Pleased with the general UI, but wish more customization was possible and more bloatware was optional or uninstallable.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] E5823:
Regarding poor performance of fingerprint sensor it seems, thanks to michal89chz, that I have found a solution. I had tried to re-register fingerprints before without seeing much of a difference. It seems that registering a fingerprint in

all kinds

of different angles greatly improves the performance of the sensor, now hit rate has gone up from 4/10 to 9/10. If it keeps up take that off the list of complaints. Though Sony ought to have made it clear in the settings when you first register your prints that this procedure is necessary for a good performance.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] FlipFlopHHJ:
Heres my take.

The camera is better than z3c when ready but takes so long to launch that the moment is usually gone long before the phone is ready.

Oh and from time to time the camera won't launch because according to the error message some other app is using it. I've only been able to solve that issue by rebooting adding insult to injury for the already ridiculous camera launch times.

Thats really the only advantage.

It gets way hotter and lags like crazy seemingly at random.

My guess is that Snapdragon 810 is just a piece of **** and I hope Sony makes a z6c with 820 which i will happily buy..

I'm so frustrated that Samsung S7 starts to look good but it's bigger than the HTC One m7 and I found that too big :(
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Sadman Khan:
Try Xperia X Performance :P
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] shagrath:
About that auto brightness bug, you guys could try Velis Auto Brightness app from Play Store, works great for me.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] thesebastian:
- Auto Brightness bug here. (I can't believe I'm using Manual Brightness in a 2015 hi-end phone).

- Poor picture quality with the camera with low or medium light and with close/mid pictures, specially close-ups. (In general, the camera is terrible is the worst thing of this phone, the main reason I can't wait to upgrade the phone. Never used flash in two years with my previous phone with HDR+, now I need flash again to see some details at MEDIUM light!!).

- Performance issues, mainly because of Lollipop. But also they'll need to improve the kernel.

----

I do not have any reboots issues, nor temperature problems.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] sravanz:
+1 all the above..

Exactly my thoughts. This is the worst phone you can buy.. Mostly due to software issues.. I was trying to record a video. I opened the app and hit record button and i lost initial 10 seconds of the footage. Thats how worst camera launch time is.

It gets way hotter for everyday tasks. I dont game on my phone still super hot. Lags all the time. Multitasking is terrible. Even if i have 3-4 apps running in background i experienced google maps reloading a couple of times which is terrible.

Wifi is slow as well and music pauses randomly as it wishes. Sometimes bluetooth studdering.. I thought battery life was good initially but it became worse.

This is the worst ever phone from sony. I have a z3c before which is way better despite of its short comings
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Tinup93:
thanks a lot everyone on your replies i`v read it carefully thanks for helping me to decide <3

after today MWC and the the release of X series and the overpriced phones i think its time to step aside from sony but my heart will always be there Thanks for sharing your experience and being 100% honest

i`ll wait till M.M but its also gonna take few weeks according to sony statement today then i`ll come back here and check your feedback it will help everyone
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] thesebastian:
if you are going for a Galaxy S6, I'd rather go for a Nexus 5X. You won't have the size and the battery you have with the Z3C....but in everything else is a win. And it's not an expensive phone.

There are no alternatives to the Z5C at the moment in the compact range. It's the only one I'd buy (and I still don't like it).
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] TheEndHK:
I don't have lag or overheating. It's quite hot sometimes but still in a manageable level, don't forget every SD810 phone is hot. But I rooted and using Greenify with xposed so I have more free ram than non-root user and I also flashed Tommy-Geenexus's kernel which lower downed the cpu speed to reduce heat. I think MM will improve big.Little cpu for who experienced lag. In my opinions, z1c z5c s6 the battery performance during use is very similar, not as good as z3c but still enough for normal use. My problem on Z5c is battery drain during idle/standby, after flashed the raidoactivefix xposed module been improved but still worse than z1c and s6 at overnight standby.

Some have bluetooth disconnect issues, after used Amplify xposed module to limit a whole beach of wakelock/alarms my Sony MW600 handfree finally suffer from this issue so it may related somethings bad coded to keep DDOS attacking BT devices....lol... On the other hand, my Sony SmartWatch2 seems never get disconnection, maybe smartwatch's cpu is strong enough to defense spam.

What's the most annoyed me is camera. Low light photo is also good but not above 160/200iso range. 200iso already started a bit bad so most people will just said the camera suck. Within 160iso the quality real better than my Z1c, 200 or up my Z1c even performed better in terms of details. My Z1c with 4K mod doing better focus and quality too.

Not real intended to leave Z5c as I like the better screen, white balance and fast focus, I still want to hold Z5c at this time. But since the result is so mixed to me, if MM not fix it, I will stay with Z1c and get some cash back.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] civicsr2cool:
I've seen a few issues as well, I've got a white international with no camera blur and no self cracking screen (yet).

I have to have a one thumb phone so my options were limited. I had an s4 mini for going on 3 years, best phone I've ever had. I always wanted to try the z compacts but the z1c didn't have LTE and the z3c had stupid side charging. I gave the z5c a chance with low expectations based on all the negative I heard, and I was still disappointed lol. I will probably be settling with the s5 mini but until I'll be playing with this.

Very short battery life, no replaceable battery, and no wireless charging. Nothing that I didn't know jumping into it but still hard to deal with having to answer calls while on a charger, let alone the heat on my face is almost unbearable at times.

Camera issues are also something I knew before hand, I am coming from an 8mp camera with a broken lens so it's an upgrade to me. But yet the lag has got to be a joke. Right?

Software is kind of cool, reminds me of miui a bit on the notifications, it's miles above touchwiz, and with some xposed tweaks I think I'll really like the home launcher! Root and xposed are a huge deal to me for some of my apps so I'm still carrying my other device for that need while I figure out xposed on the z5 line. I have had a lot of rooted phones and for you guys waiting and relying on a MM update to fix things... I wouldn't and wont be, there will just be new or slightly fixed issues. Happens every time lol

All in all I like the phone, the form is great, button layout I love, and the screen hopefully will not fade out like my other amoleds! Hopefully we can get some cm12 on this platform to play with soon.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] E5823:
Hate quoting myself, but when necessary...

Fingerprint sensor has not kept up performance. Just like when phone was new, it works like a charm for a day or two, then regresses badly. I don't know if problem is hardware or software, and don't much care except I guess the latter would be better - if they ever manage to release an update (that actually improves things without introducing more bugs than were fixed...).

Anyway, the sensor now works slightly better than before I re-registered all prints a couple of days ago. Hit rate is somewhere between 5-6/10 depending on angle and finger, but sometimes much worse. Not great. And no, phone or fingers are not grimy. One advantage of water-almost-proofness is you can wash off phone now and again. I'm guessing intent of including fingerprint sensor was not for user to wash fingers and phone before every interaction?
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] raytheblacksmith:
I sorta like that the fingerprint sensor doesn't catch 100% touches because I read about people who were irritated that they were just trying to check the time and every time ended up unlocking the phone. It doesn't happen with me and I'm very happy with it, I can live with the extra half second it takes to try again.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] van2z:
From my point of view, i'd like to agree that some of issues mentioned above are present. Those are:

-Poor camera quality. For me the camera is not an essential feature, so i don't complain, but it is really nowhere near the flagship-quality, imho

-Fingerprint scanner performance. It seems to be extremely sensitive about its own and finger's cleanness. It can work just fine for a half a day and then it suddenly rejects the fingerprint for several times. This is my first and only android-based device with the scanner, so i can't compare with sony's direct competitors, but i never experienced such issues using any of apple devices with fingerprint sensor.

-Auto-brightness issues are completely described in posts above, i totally agree with all that.

-Software was unstable for a couple of months after sales launched. As i said, i don't often use a camera, but there was just one time in autumn when it was necessary for me to record a video. And z5c captured no sound at all. The mic that time was not functional at any applications, and i noticed this an hour later when a person who called me could hear no sound from my side. That was extremely disappointing. Some random reboots were present in early versions of firmware too. It get much better and more stable these days, but some minor software issues can still be noticed now and then.

And then here comes the major issue of them all: z5c just doesn't like winter. It was about -10 celsius outside, and i was there for a couple of hours with a phone in the pocket of my jacket. When i returned home, i saw that the glass on rear panel had a massive crack:

http://cs630129.vk.me/v630129131/11b31/QE0b_6WL5dU.jpg

And this issue with glasses cracking when temperature is low is present on every sony's device with glass on its back since the original xperia z. Every winter there are dozens of reports about glass-related problems on our local pda forums, sony's local office was awared of the problem, so there were hopes that they will fix it in their latest models. Here comes z5, and nothing changed. Those issues are covered by warranty as long as warranty lasts (1 year usually), so i didn't have to pay for the repair, but it took some time to replace the glass.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] TheEndHK:
I think it's not true bcoz my Z1c actually got LTE.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] civicsr2cool:
No att bands*

If i remember right it had T Mobile but we don't have that around my parts.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] eumanoid:

[Xperia Z5 Compact General] smooth_gl:
Sry guys. I can confirm only the auto luminosity bug. Otherwise I'm pretty happy with my z5c.
