Database Develop

is their an one click root toolkit or unlock bootoader for the t-mobile edition?

If so were can I find it I don't see it anywhere on xda

there is no bootloader unlock for the tmo version.
you can find root tools in the original dev section.
have had this device for 2 days, and i've rooted and upgraded to 4.2.2 in that time,
what enabled me to do this is reading through the threads here, try it, it works wonders.

I use this tool for my other device. work good on Lenove Aseries. Got file from China web.
Tested on Xperia Ion, J , Samsung SII and some Lenovo Aseries. hope can work for u. but only for root

Rooting and flashing roms

Hey,
Looking into flashing some custom roms onto my xperia z however I was wondering what I lose as soon as the rooting / flashing begins?
I remember when this phone out there were problems with flashing where you lost the brava engine and also the drm services. This still the case?
Also can you return things to stock with 100% of everything working again?
Cheers
Scott

You will not lose anything just from rooting.
You will however lose your drm keys and Bravia engine if you unlock your bootloader.
There's loads of info regarding this so search and read.

Root without pc!!?? HELP

.I want root my XZ with any app (without pc). Please help.

not possible
C6603 ?

I think it would be possible, if you ask me, but you would have to execute all the commands from your phone, by hand.
Very risky though. If you make a mistake you could brick your phone and have to reflash using a pc.
Not recommended!!
Also you would need some knowledge about how android works, before you try anything.
Just use a pc. That's a lot safer and way easier

Actually you need a PC anyway, actual rooting method implies downgrading the kernel, rooting, and upgrading the kernel. You need a PC to down/upgrade the kernel.

Well, you're right, in the case of newest firmware. Older firmware doesn't an need old kernel, so it would be possible.
But for .67 firmware, yes you really need a pc.
Didn't consider that since I'm on unlocked bootloader, so don't need difficult rooting processes

Well, you need a PC to unlock the bootloader and flash rooted kernels, and actually the last two firmwares need kernel downgrading on locked bootloaders, .244 and .67. Sorry i'm just beeing picky

Ask me how do it.If it will easy for me I do it.

Well he only wants root, so unlocked bootloader isn't the subject here, neither are the rooted kernels.
I thought 244 was rootable without kernel flash, but i believe you in that..

[Q] [Q-C6602] Requesting help for downgrading and rooting

Hello fellow XDA members.
I have been reading and searching thoroughly the forums for the past weeks and I haven't been able to find a stock ftf file for Z(C6602).
I am trying to downgrade to 4.2.2(.67) for rooting purposes and to backup the TA, then to unlock the bootloader. I bought the phone during autumn last year, from Sony USA as an unlocked phone. I currently am running kitkat(10.5.A.0.230). Also, I am currently living in Romania and using Vodafone as a carrier.
I'm in need of a stock ftf file running 4.2.2 , right for my region. I couldn't find one that suits my needs. If anyone could find one and point me at it, that would be great.
Thanks in advance

You can use any 67 FTF that's for the C6602. It doesn't have to be one specifically for your region/carrier.
Edit - Here's a US 67 rom.

if you have a ta backup you can unlock and relock the bootloader without any problem like the first day. even the sony cant realize that.but if you dont want to unlock the bootloader i think iHackers and RomAur are best.fast and stable
but you may have some issues with Xposed Framework (which is really handy) in LB.
but these two i think are the best based on stock roms
for note,I'm using iHackers v4.1 with unlocked bootloader

Ya I have many ta backups. But I shud unlock only after 6th Oct,my lifestyle is too dangerous to ignore warranty (I KNOW SONY CANNOT IF I RELOCK,STILL.. As I have no personal pc..ll buy in Oct)o thanks anyway.. M downloading ihackers 4.1 minimal version now.

If you relock bootloader via TA backup, no one can notice that .means sony cannot realize it and your warranty stands.
and i think,i think,if i'm not wrong, rooting the phone will break the warranty .. ! again i'm saying, i think

Sorry, I just saw the rules..no best' rom thread allowed. I tried to edit but in vein! Sorry...
Hmm...m searching Sony.Co.in about this pal... "Does root void warranty? "
