Bin4ry's tool doesn't work for that firmware version.
Do this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2386405
Follow the instructions carefully. It definitely works as I rooted the same firmware version with it myself.
If you have never used Flashtool before, here is a guide to setup drivers etc and flash - How to flash stock roms with Flashtool
Also, somebody may come in here and recommend that you use something called Kingo to root your phone. Personally, I don't trust it as there is no information on how it works or what it pushes to your phone, so keep that in mind.

Doesnt matter because you usually wipe and flash a rom after root. Then you definally sure that there is no mallware left

Erm, what? Not everybody roots in order to flash a custom rom. Some just want to remove bloat and run some root only apps.

Yep, you cannot see anything untoward, so it's completely fine!
I'm not saying that this Kingo app does anything bad, but do you think it would flash a notification toast up on screen saying "Please wait: Stealing your personal data" if it did?
I personally do not trust it and therefore will not recommend it to anybody over a method supplied by a trusted developer such as DooMLoRD, even if the process is one click and therefore foolproof.

Ok you are right. Some people only want to root and keep their files. Then it might be not so good to use kingo because nobody knows how it works.

You need to be more patient then waiting just over an hour. Technically it's against the forum rules to bump a thread within 24 hours which is what your second post is doing.
You need to remember just because people view the thread it doesn't mean they know anything about the subject. I view all threads in here but only post when I know the answer (or when I have to advise people ). Just wait and you'll eventually get an answer.

I've been using the following app:

It lets you chose the colour, flash frequency etc for various different notification events.
For instance I've used it to make my SMS notification flash blue very quickly.
I think I found the app via this forum

I havent used that app so I cant confirm anything. But looking at the app's description in the play store it has all the instructiosn yo will need.
Its your choice to root, but dont forget, that you can grab a ftf file of your CLEAN rom via PCCompanion or SUS and flashtool that you can flash if you want to go back to an nrooted device.

Yes, but you can always flash a stock FTF and go back to factory settings, Sony won't be able to tell then. Just make a FTF file from a PC companion or SUS update before you root.p

Please help! Can't root my LT30at!

So yesterday I bought a Sony xperia tl-lt30at and I can't seem to root it.. I've had an htc, nexus s 4g, and galaxy s2 and rooted all with no problem. I've tried the methods for rooting the lt30at found in the forums here with no luck, the back up and restore app seems to freeze when I try to restore the "root me" method. I also have flashed a recovery image but the pressing up or down over n over during boot up. I can return my phone but I'd rather not, I love this phone. Anyone have any suggestions?

Root works fine on my xperia tl
No there is still a problem.
It does root the phone initially but on running Titanium backup (TB) superuser keeps asking for root access continuously (even though i've checked "remember"). And after a while the root access is gone.
Don't know whats going on, can reproduce this every time.
In one instance i was able to do a complete backup of all my apps with TB and then on next TB start it said no root access.
Maybe some conflict between SU and TB?
btw, SU version is somewhat old v3.2 2012-07
LT30at
Carrier At&T
Android version 4.1.2
Build: 9.1.F.1.120
UPDATE:
Installed the other Superuser (Koushik Dutta) and all is working.
So something not right with Chainsd's superuser that came installed while rooting. Probably the old version does not work (found no way to update to new version), it always complained about providing access.
In any case, all fine now. Hope this helps someone.
lt30at at 4.1.2 rooted with Bin4ry_v36
Hi guys,
I just want to confirm that i rooted my lt30at in JB (4.1.2) with the software:
Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v36.zip
I chose the option 4 and follow the instructions. I had to install before the JDK and the android SDK. Additionally check the device have the developer options enabled.
Best Regards,

Kingo Root worries

So what's up with Kingo ROOT Method? Has anyone got info on it? I used it and now it is deleted and the thread is closed. I'm a little concerned about my Xperia Z and my laptop. Does it or does it not install something bad on either one of the devices?
Nobody knows either way for sure.
What is known-
- Their website is registered anonymously.
- It appears to be hosted in the US.
- There is no geographical address given on the company website. Strange, given they state they are a limited company.
- The person representing them on these forums says they are from Canada.
- Their representative will not say how the tool works or what it does.
- The tool contacts a server in China when you run it.
Given the above, I personally do not trust it, but that's not to say there IS anything bad happening.
When he closed the thread, gangsterjoop asked to be contacted with details on what the tool was doing when it contacts the server, so we will have to see what happens if they do.
Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk
As far as I'm aware, the reason the thread was closed has more to do with the app using the work of others without permission and not being GPL and Apache license compliant, rather than it installing something sinister on your device.
Really? Interesting.
If that's the case, then it's even more reason to not trust them, although gangsterjoop specifically said he didn't trust the tool and asked to be contacted about why the tool was contacting China in his post in the thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46595305
He didn't mention open source licences at the time, so that's why I was unaware of that fact.
Edit: I see another thread regarding the tool also had the links removed.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2473747
I'm guessing this was done because of the licencing issues mentioned.
All in all, this Kingo company/person seems to be highly untrustworthy to me, regardless of whether the tool is doing anything bad or not.

Yes, I agree. I think it's mainly because most people that used it are too lazy to have to use more than one process to root their phone.
Flashing the required kernels and rooting my phone with DooMLoRD's method took literally 5 minutes, but that's too much effort for some, unfortunately.

Not true, I find Doomlords method way too complicated. I may be the biggest noob on xda here. For the kind of people like me who don't know jack **** about this kind of stuff it's really helpful, I probably would never have rooted my phone without the one click solution because it's too damn complicated. I'm really wondering if Doomlord is that good why hasn't HE made something like that? It's not because i'm lazy that I chose the one click root, it's because I was too afraid of doing something wrong with the other method.
Complicated?
1. Use simple tool to flash a provided kernel.
2. Root by double clicking a batch file.
3. Use simple tool to flash original kernel.
Honestly, if you cannot follow simple step-by-step instructions then you shouldn't be rooting your phone in the first place.
As for questioning DooMLoRD's ability because he hasn't created a one-click solution; why should he spend his free time doing so? Firstly, the method he provided already works just fine and secondly, this is a development based site, not a place to hold people's hands.

What I find about kingo that it a unified unlocking tool my friends always come to me to root there mobile or install custom firmware or SIM unlock it some time pain in the ass to search for each way to root there mobile it's nice to see a one simple click to root any device ad I'm worried about the mobile data more than pc as I can sandbox the exe file . Hope you guys find out what it downloads

I was running the Kingo app from a minimized virtualbox VM, and little snitch caught it trying to reach out to service.wmshua.com
kingo is the english translation of the wmshua app at wmshua.com.
wmshua.com is located in china and *their* DNS is not hidden.
I'm sorry I can't trust their app to root our phone. I never root my phone before. I tried doomlord root step by step. And it works. Its easy to use too.

No issue apart from allowing untrustworthy software full access to your phone, which then sent your device serials etc to a server in China for who knows what reason.

I used kingo root tool for root my xperia z (4.1 & 4.2) and it's very very very easy way, let me say actually this tool is "the easiest". And nothing bad. Beside that i contact with them via facebook and they are very concerned about my problems.
Maybe they are look like suspicious. But i didn't see any bad things to not trust them.

You can always flash a prerooted .257
Look in the dev section for them. There are a couple with instructions on how flash them
Have you tried reading the update changelog on kingo website? It's very visible. Nothing about Z1 there. Simple deduction, it will most likely not root 257

I just don't want to take too long and any risks with flashing the prerooted 257 , I rather wait. and I contacted kingo to see if it will work.

It doesn't take long, and there is no risk. I am running my version now...its fine.
Kingo Android Root V1.1.1 is coming up! Many thanks to Ryan, with his help and testing work the Development Team fixed the SuperSU bug.
In this new version:
1. SuperSU updated to the latest version of v1.65
2. Fixed bugs concerning the conflict issue with certain apps after employing root script on Samsung Galaxy Note2,Note3 and S Series.
3. Removed several root scripts due to license issue, which would effect few SONY models.
This is from official kingoapp FB. Yet there are nothing specific about rooting Z1.

Thanks teamhtc I just removed my softkeys thanks to some hide softkeys app and made it that they would only show when I touch the bottom right of my screen.
It looks so much better now
Also it's really easy to go back to the old unbranded firmware and update pre rooted.
So I suggest doing that instead of waiting for kingo......

Why?
In fact can both of you guys provide sources of your claims?
Use Bin4ry's one (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460) to root .534 and update via prerooted.zip, Kingo steals your IMEI.
oh no. really? i just found out about this. i've already rooted my z1 with kingo. what do i do now?

Not entirely accurate.
The IMEI numbers were read. But at the moment we're unsure if they were read and stored somewhere like 'Chinese servers'
Over 80% of xperia users have used this kind of tool. Once you've used it then you might as well use it again.
If you have not used a tool like this, then its recommended that you wait.
wait for what??
- An exploit to root this device probably wont eventuate as most of us have already used a tool like this to root. So developers are not interested.
- For the company that develops the ROOT software to get back to us and assure us that there is no problem??...
You need to make the choice if you use it or not..

We have exploit to root 534(by Bin4ry's CLEAN rootkit), so we don't need Kingo anymore.
We don't want unknown person to touch IMEI, even they don't store data.
So this is all about, I heard Vroot and Kingo are suspicious apps. I don't like that. Why people using them anyway if they are not clean?
