Bootloader unlocked but no root

Hi. Thanks for the help. I did all this and now my bootloader shows "Unlocked". Please help me with how to root it. I am not able to root using Flashtool. My mobile has the lastest marshmallow.

[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] 99poison:
To root M4 Aqua, need to check Boot-loader is unlocked or not. To do this, type *#*#7378423#*#* in dial pad. And then go to Service info > Configuration. Rooting Status must be "Boot-loader unlocked:Yes". If not displays "Yes" and it displays "Allow Yes" or "No". Boot-loader is still locked and can't root. If boot-loader is unlock,

Plug your phone to PC in fast-boot. And then,follow this link ( http://xdaforums.com/m4-aqua/general/root-t3421932 ). You need to download boot.img and recovery.img. Choose correct boot.img for your model. And then, copy downloaded this two files to your adb/fastboot folder. Open adb/fastboot folder. And then, click " Shift + Right click" and choose Open command windows here. In cmd, type​

fastboot devices
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot

When phone is boot again, plug your phone to PC in fast-boot again and type

fastboot devices
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot

After reboot again, you will display "super su app" and your phone is rooted.

Good luck.

Bootloader unlocked but no root

THank you. My bootloader is unlocked. It says so in the Configuration information and also in Flashtool. So i do understand it is unlocked. But not able to boot into fastboot mode. Could you please help me with how to boot into fastboot mode on my Aqua M4 Dual? Because when i tried these steps i get this msg "Waiting for device" all the time.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] 99poison:
To enter fastboot mode, Turn off your phone. And then, Press Volume up button and connect to PC via USB ( still press volume up button when connect to PC ). Your phone LED light becomes Blue color and fastboot mode is started.

Good luck.

My Experience

Hi, [MENTION=4815990]99poison[/MENTION]

I want to thank you because you saved my phone.

This is my experience:

I flashed this Firmware on my Xperia M4 Aqua Dual E2363 because my phone got stucked rebooting itself randomly. It's important to note that this problem came up by itself. It started to reboot itself after an official update. My phone had a stock firmware with BL locked.

After flashing your Firmware it came back to life. :)

Now it can reboot itself only on turning on. But once it loads the SO it doesn't reboot anymore :) Thanks a lot.

Just 1 bug detected:

The wifi connection doesnt work properly. Wifi cannot be turned on and Wifi Hotspot cannot turn on either.

But, this bug could be a hardware problem of my cellphone, according to what I've been googling.

Any way, you saved my phone.

Thanks a lot :)

Hi I rooted my m4 aqua phone e2353 by following the steps in how to root it. It was too late when i realized that the procedure was for the marshmallow firmware while mine has a lolipop firmware. So now my phone is stuck in bootloop biut i can still open the recovery mode which is twrp.. I tried flashing my phone and installed the ftf file but when i try to restart, it still gets stuck in bootloop.. Now it opens until the select language part but is unresponsive and then restarts again and again. What should I do to get it back tp normal again

Is there anyone here who can help me please

Try to erase all network settings if this will help with WiFi problem. Also if you have problems with receiving of IP address afterwards or connection is too slow, in developer options turn on "using of legacy DHCP client ", this also helps allot.

Okay so I don't know if many of you will see this, but I've started a petition to fix this Marshmallow update permanently. I seriously can't believe the poor choices Sony make with their phones. This Marshmallow update was rushed in the end, and this phone has the potential to be better. Heating issue is kind of resolved, it doesn't heat up as it used to, but there is still a problem with the animations. Stamina mode is really bad, and no adoptable storage. If you want to make a change, then please sign the petition right here: https://www.change.org/p/sony-marshm...xperia-m4-aqua
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] 99poison:
Yes you need root to replace system file.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] 99poison:
Android Marshmallow Performance, Battery life, User Interface, Camera and Feature are better than Android Lollipop in this phone. Adoptable Storage is not available but you can try with this link ( http://xdaforums.com/m4-aqua/general/adoptive-storage-marshmallow-t3421828 ) to enable adoptable storage without root permission. Yes, Stamina mode does not enable animation transition and vibrate to save battery life. Therefore it can save battery life more than Android Lollipop. Only one problem is sound. Speaker sound is really bad in Marshmallow of this phone. But you can repair with [sound mod] V3 - Stereo Speakers! from this link (http://xdaforums.com/m4-aqua/themes-apps/sound-mod-stereo-speakers-t3276029 ) if your phone is rooted.

If I understand, the latest firmware for me is Xperia M4 Aqua Dual (E2333) 26.3.B.1.33 Russia Generic ?

Does the Marshmallow is more reactive than the Lollipop ? Or it's the same thing ?

Hi everyone

I have Sony M4 Aqua Dual (E2333) currently Android 5.0...

Am asking how to download the official latest android version as it doesn't show a new update is available through the mobile and the same thing for the companion app.

I don't want anything custom or unofficial, should I do it through ftf files? Is it safe? What is flashing (am totally new to this stuff and never done it before)?

More importantly, thanks!

just make sure exact model file you flash

Hi.

I rooted my phone before. I want to install stock rom again but I have questions...

When I flash a custom rom I flashed; boot.img and recovery.img. In this thread, there is only one file, an .ftf. Also, file's size is so big.

Does this one .ftf file contain both boot.img and recovery.img? Can I just install .ftf file with flashtool to my phone?

[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Hi7m3up:
If you read back through this thread you will find most of the answers for your questions , but to save you some time an ftf file is the whole(complete) firmware package for your phone as for the generic swiss label it only means that a. its generic and b. its from the swiss region of the globe i.e if your phone has been opened to work on any network then you can flash a generic firmware regardless of the area its for however if your phone is locked to a certain network then you must use the firmware that is for your phone ,for your country and for your network if it is not then you will softbrick your phone.

Goodluck

(Probably) Dumb question

Hi, this is my first time using Flashtool, so I have a question: when flashing the FTF file, should I check something in the "Exclude" section? I want to be sure that everything will work properly after flash. (I don't want to erase something like IMEI or any useful thing ;)) Thanks for the answer.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Hi7m3up:
It depends on what you want to achieve whether a clean install or to keep some of your apps ect.

Tbh your search engine is your friend and everything you need to know is a click away.Check and double check before you do anything is the best advice I can offer.

You can back up your IMEI if you want I've never found the need to.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bulky68:
Hi All,

First time poster with an unusual problem. I live in Australia and have a Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900F which is the European model. Up and till recently I was getting Telstra 4G reception. Now all of a sudden I'm only getting constant 3G reception. I have confirmed that there are no 4G network repair/maintenance/upgrade issues in my area. It was only in the last week that I noticed the constant 3G reception so I can't really pinpoint a specific incident or exact date as to when it actually started happening. Here is what I have tried thus far:

Phone restarts, changing network settings and switching to flight mode.

I've confirmed that the phone network is set to LTE/WCDMA/GSM (auto connect).

I have done numerous hard resets, cache wipes, Dalvik cache wipes, drive wipes, etc.

I have rooted and unrooted the phone numerous times.

I have tried several different stock and custom ROMS.

I have tried 4G SIM cards from other phones.

Tried numerous network switching apps.

NOTHING WORKS!

I always love to tinker with my phone so I'm always looking for ways to improve the phone's performance. It may be that an app (battery improvement/tweaking type apps) I installed somehow changed the network settings but I would have thought a million hard resets would have sorted that all out but apparently not. At the moment I'm running a rooted stock Android 5.1 ROM. I've tried stock Android 4 and 6 as well with no joy.

Here is the unusual thing. When I put in another 4G SIM card into my phone the network still remains on 3G but as soon as I put my SIM card back in 4G magically reappears. It's bizarre. At least I know my phone can still get 4G. You would think that would solve the problem but it doesn't. When I am in an area where the 4G signal is weak the stronger 3G signal kicks in as it is supposed to. When I get back into an area with strong 4G reception the phone remains stuck on 3G and no matter what I do it won't go back to 4G unless I go through the convoluted process described above.

I am all out of ideas. I think I have tried everything possible. I've trawled the web and I appear to be the only person in the world with this problem. I don't know if it is a software or hardware problem with my phone. My SIM card works in other 4G phones so I don't think it is part of the problem. At the end of the day it's not a big deal as 3G is fine but I'm just one of these people that has to fix a problem. Worst case scenario I'll probably upgrade the phone in the next 6 months.

Any suggestions or tips other than what I have listed above would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Bulky :D:D:D

Hi everyone, I've recently rooted my galaxy s7e and was looking for some lockscreen and notification shade customisation.

I remember seeing something a while ago but can't find it again anymore.

On the lockscreen I'd just like to remove the alarm icon and change the time to written text (like ten fifty). I know goodlock can do this but I'd lose the status bar modding chance.

On the notification shade I'd love a darker color if possible. I noticed that themes like zero dark make it darker but that doesn't apply to single notifications which stay white

Hi! I am Parko. I am using resurrection remix v5.7.1 on my note 3. I want to install xposed installer yesterday so I downloaded the newest xposed zip and apk. After downloaded these two files , I restarted my phone and got into the twrp recovery and installer the zip that I downloaded before.

It depends on your rom actually and yes it must be obligatory after flash to make run your programs.

Then try to restore your backup and uninstall Xposed Installer before flashing the framework.

And yes, it is important to wipe cache&dalvik after flashing.

just like this and keep looping
[Xposed General] Parko0529:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5yF6CoMiGys

I flash the xposed v86 zip and wipe davik and cache . After that boot loop emerge.Why?
[Xposed General] Portgas D. Ace:
To be honest, how should anyone knows why your device bootloops? You did not provide any log file or some information about the .zip file you flashed. Which Xposed framework did you flash? the official one by rovo89 or the one by wanam or maybe the one by arter97? We need this information, otherwise we are just guessing around.

For Resurrection Remix (Android 6.0.1), you have to use this one:

http://dl-xda.xposed.info/framework/sdk23/arm/xposed-v86-sdk23-arm.zip
[Xposed General] Parko0529:
Sorry for my mistake. The xposed framework which I flashed is the official one(you provide that one).No matter i flash which version,my phone is keep bot looping.
[Xposed General] Portgas D. Ace:
Then ask for help in the thread of your custom ROM. Most likely someone has already figured it out.
