I rooted my phone about 5 months ago and toyed with it a little, but now I noticed it's not rooted anymore. I've been trying to use Pete's tool to either root or unroot it and I keep getting this error:
ERROR: adb could not be granted root access via local.prop method
Any ideas? I'd be happy to either get it rooted or back to stock again.
Thanks

Run this instead, you may have lost root when you got the last update. follow the instructions you will be fine
Have you tried the 4ever root method as described here? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1279825
Also, for future instances: It's a good idea to 1) search and if that doesn't answer your questions then 2) always be sure to list what system version you're on or what ROM/rev to help aid in troubleshooting.

Tried that with all the options and it didn't work. Even with the pre-release drivers it just said waiting for device when it's at the Fastboot. I tried the other ones and they all failed.
I have been looking for a "root on demand" solution. I have a few custom programs that run for work which require a "non-rooted" android device. I was hoping to find a solution to root my phone, use titanium backup, then un-root but have not been successful in finding something like that.
FYI, if psouza4's oneclick root fails,
AND
43V3R root failed too,
THEN
try the ROTA893 root (obviously only works on .893 firmware)

can you just flash a new clena fw? always the best thing to do.
and btw just use vroot or framroot to root 2.67 next time, no need to flash kernels...

only the download link is banned, you can get the file somewhere else, and the guide tells you how to use it, and this one is actually an easier option:

it roots the nexus 4, which is the same hardware as our zxr, it should work.

Thanks, I gave this a try.
The two exploits, Aragorn and Gandalf, both fail. "Try another exploit if available. Error 5" Well I gave it a shot. Any advice is welcome
I also want to root my c5503, with a locked bootloader.
I found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2386405 and according to it i just need a older kernel.
So here are my questions: is the 10.1.1.A.1.310 old enough and does it work with this root method?
How do i get just the kernel out of an existing ftf file?
Thanks for help guys!
Download vroot to your pc and intall, plug your phone run vroot and press green button that says root, that's it, now you can change the superuser app of your choice.
Hope I helped

try kingo root
Made in ZR
I finally managed to root with the following steps:
1) flashed the .310 Nordic ftf
2) used doomlords exploid v18
3) ota updates to vers .67 --> root still persists
I also tried to flash only the 310 kernel (like rooting the description from the z says), but that ended up in a bootloop with the Sony logo. -no idea why!

how did you enable the ota update on rooted .310? I temporarily disabled it with ota preserver but nothing happens.
I didn't had to enable it, it was enabled by default!
I just gave the ota update after the root a try and it just worked...

It thinks it's already updated for me. so is there no way to enable it?
EDIT: Never mind, managed to fix it: It turns out I was trying to upgrade from the global version of .310; reflashing to the Hong-Kong version allowed me to update.

Greetings.
there is some chinese root applications : kingoroot,vroot ( seems kingoroot "steal" method from vroot or vise versa )
anyway, this stuff, beside root, install few applications and kinda download something from somewhere.
i'm extracted their root method,cleaned it from encryption and repackaged it as standalone application, which is definitely not install any stuff, except su and busybox
i don't know on which phones and firmwares it works, but it is definitely work on latest 4.x firmwares, i'm tested with xperia t,tx,e,tipo,s, etc.
so grab it, extract it into any folder and run root.cmd
you must enable usb debugging in phone settings and adb driver should be installed, of course ( grab one from http://developer.sonymobile.com/downloads/drivers/ )
anti-ric daemon included in package as well and installed automatically.
Mod edit: Removed.
hmm, seems there is no such users
I already rooted my 6603 10.31.A..2.67 with Kingo, so I can't root again with your cleaned toolkit.
What applications are installed by Kingo, as far as u know? I found no obvious installed apps.

they install some kind of rooting daemon, but as i can see it is completely safe.
as i understand, users are worried, that original vroot/kingoroot programs actively using internet
so i'm removed crypto layers from root exploit program ( so willing developers can get exploit and release it as their own in new program ) , removed "protection" check, add anti-ric daemon and released package.
it is completely standalone and not require anything, but adb drivers

Thank you for providing a little more info. I will unroot and try this later today on ES .67...
worked on 10.3.1.A.2.67_Generic_de.tft clean flash
Worked on 10.3.1.A.2.67_Generic_ES.ftf. Good work! We'll see how it performs with 4.3 upon arrival...
btw, this root working not only on c660x phones, but on many others : i'm tested on latest firmwares for lt29,lt30,st21,st26,c150x,c160x,c210x
and i'm think it will nicely work on c550x,c530x and so on
though, i'm heavily doubt that it will work on 4.3 ...

hard to tell, what your friend did.
but exploit is not fixed in any android firmware with kernel version [ 3.0 ... 3.4.4 ] - so this tool as any other, based on get_user/set_user problems, should work.
Method 1 works,
method 2 doesnt work for me.
I tried method 2 first tho. but didnt work, so i go for method 1, and it works. thanks for sharing
thanks man, It works with latest firmware

Ok I have managed to keep root with the OTA-update to 4.3!
As I have read the problem with updates to 4.3 from a <4.3 firmware is that root on 4.3 requires more than just the su binary as it was on <4.3 firmwares. So it has come to my mind(and at this point i am really confused that no one else has thought of this before) what if I install all the necessary files before I update? And guess what... It worked.
Here is what i have done:
Flash the latest 4.1 firmware with flashtool
Root using flashtool and supersu
Run the installing script that i have wrote
Load and install the OTA-update
I guess if you have used flashtool to root, steps one and two are not necessary. If you have used Bin4ry's rooting script it will not work and you will have to reflash(that's at least what i have experienced).
So what will this script to?
It will install all the files provided in the latest UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.93.zip from chainfire. And it is adapted from his update-binary.
I know it is not perfect as i have done it, but i am quite new to shell scripting. So any help to make it better is welcomed.
Thanks to the makers of flashtool and supersu for making this possible!
original post:
Last Friday the OTA arrived on my phone and I tried to update it and keep it rooted. But I failed.
Has anyone a clue how to do it or can it be assumed to be impossible?
What I tried so far:
I was rooted with chaindd's superuser on firmware version .141 as it arrived. I had just three apps in use witch required root, busybox, titanium backup and adfree.
Nevertheless my attempts to update failed at the second stage of the update.
After a few attempts I did a factory-reset, reflashed the .141 firmware and rerooted using flashtool. The update worked that time but root was lost. Even though the app and binary were still there...

There's been no OTA update over here what's your customization number ?
Sent from Shane's Xperia T LT30a
Have you tried using OTA root keeper ? I didn't need to use it before on my Xperia's but had to with the Motorola Razr and it worked .
Sent from my LT30p using xda app-developers app
MySpace customization number is 1266-2433. It is from the Austrian provider 3.
At my first attempts to update I also tried ota root keeper. But they all failed.
Afterwards, after the reset, I just tried it with superuser's and supersu's ota survival mode.
I have also read on other forums that if the update follows the Google update.zip format one can flash it through a custom-recovery and flash supersu.zip afterwards and keep root.
But Sony's update is probably not in that format because it's a .bin file(download_ platform.bin in /sdcard/recovery/).
By the way it's 450 mb big.

At the moment the only way to root is to flash THIS via recovery.
Instead if you want to keep your update with your customization number, you can unlock your bootloader (first do a TA backup)

I can't root with flashtool. Which method in flashtool did you use for rooting?
Start flashtool.
Plug your phone with USB debugging on to your PC
Click on the sign of the open lock.
Then follow the instructions of flashtool
That should work for phones on a 4.1 Firmware

You probably don't have ADB/Fastboot implemented in your system.
First do this Simple guide to ADB/Fastboot.
Then run file "runme.bat". This should work.

Thanks thurin. Your script worked for me too on my Xperia T. I was already rooted on JB 4.1.2 so went from step3 and now I'm still rooted on JB 4.3 firmware 9.2.A.1.199 (o2 UK). I'm surprised your post hasn't received more attention since I've seen a lot of queries about updating to JB 4.3 without losing root on bootloader locked phones.
Looking at the output in the CMD box when I ran the script it appears none of the file delete commands worked as I had lots of
"rm failed for -f, No such file or directory." errors, however I checked with ES Explorer that everything looked OK before running the OTA update.
I think it is that the android default 'rm' command doesn't support the '-f' switch, but if you amend your script to use the file delete from busybox then those errors shouldn't occur,
e.g. /system/xbin/busybox rm -f /system/bin/su
My device is S4 active from AT&T. I followed this post Root 4.3 I537UCUBML2 Galaxy S4 Active I537, Working Method (can not post link, pls google it) to root it. Everything seems fine expect the step to install SU binary in SuperSU. I guess it's rooted, because I can see ADB shell is listed in the SuperSU app. But I still can not get full access as root user. Any one can help me?
BTW, I've tried activeroot and towelroot, both didn't work.

I searched for the post you described and found this. If that is the method you used, it is completely outdated and should no longer be used. Since you've modified your system I think the only way you're going to get it to work is to:
Reflash the stock ML2 firmware (this will completely wipe your phone)
Root your phone using towelroot
Install SuperSU from the Play Store
In the future please visit the i537 Firmware Thread for anything related to stock firmware and rooting. I try to keep it up to date with the latest methods.

Thanks for replying. I tried the towelroot before I tried this one. It didn't work. So you mean if I use this firmware, then I can root it?
How to reflash firmware, any instruction? Thanks.
The instructions on how to reflash are in the firmware thread. Simply find the post at the top of the thread with xxxxxML2 and you will see links to discussions and downloads.
