Hi!
Just received my Z1 and really want to root it so I have a couple of questions.
- what is the danger with rooting Z1? Other than the possibility to brick the phone.
- is there any bugs if I root the phone but stay at stock rom? I've read that if you use custom bootloader the camera won't and so on.
- if I root the phone does anyone know how to hide the soft keys? Want to use all my screen.
- can anyone recommend the safest guide / way to root the phone?
- is there any other problems with rooting the phone that I should know about? I have been using an HTC 3d until now which was rooted and I used a lot of custom roms so have experience from that phone but
I wounder if there is any other things with this phone
Thanks in advance!

1) None, you cannot brick by rooting
2)No bugs with rooting, unlocking bootloader is different to root
3)Use full screen apps of xposeds Framework and modules (Search on xda for xposed framework)
4)Read the rooting guides in this forum, they are all safe. Or just use this

Sorry for that I tried pasting the link from my mobile and it didn't work properly.

settings and personal data remain, but you will lose root and there is no way to root the new firmware yet
How come that it is not possible to root the new firmware?
Too bad, have to stick to the old firmware for a good time then probably?

Still confusing with my Docomo so-02e....
Thz everyone..hope someone can give me the answer..and sorry about my poor englist..
AW: [Q] so-02e root problem
Yes there will be. Be quiet now and wait till it's released.
Next time, post in Question&Answers not in General, as this obviously is a question.
why did not you think about that before you buy phone first locked phone and now crying out about root you should of get your self simple sim-free solution !!
for now i dont see reason to root phone is work fine without being picky !!
According to Doom it will take a longer while
AW: [Q] so-02e root problem
Why root? Debloat, adblock, exchange security, data backup & restore, adblock, there's totally plenty of reasons to have stock rooted as well. But yeah, wait and STFU it is.

I agree with you, in addition reason for rooting for me, it is to change the fallback fonts and sync the system time.
I just try to live with unroot one, it's hard for a moment, however, I am still satisfied the stock ROM.
And I am also waiting for "just root" without unlocking bootloader.

Update:
Japanese Xperia Z (docomo SO-02E) has been rooted.
Rooting exploit by goroh_kuh, EasyRootingToolkit by huhka. See instructions here:
http://blog.huhka.com/2013/03/root-xperia-z-so-02e-rootingkit.html
Caution:
By rooting, you will void warranties you have with docomo.
The tooting toolkit is still new, so there may still be unknown issues
If there are any problems, you are on your own in fixing them
Compatible with both 10.1.D.0.317 and 10.1.D.0.322 firmwares.
Enable USB debugging and Unknown sources. Run runme.bat, and follow screenshot instructions.
This is root only, it does not unlock bootloader and does not wipe DRM (BE2 still works after rooting)
From 2ch:
Running the root script may cause your FeliCa/おサイフケータイ to stop working. Deleting or renaming \data\usf (a directory created by the rooting script) reportedly fixes some FeliCa programs (such as モバイルSuica), but this has not been extensively tested. Additionally, the おサイフケータイ app will report "Services in UIM/USIM card are not available because the function is locked or inserted UIM/USIM card doesn't support the services."
Other Docomo-/Japan-only services (infrared, 1seg, etc) appear to still work correctly.
For further updates, please check huhka's blog, goroh_kun's twitter, xperia-freaks.org, or current SO-02E rooting thread on 2ch.

shouldnt matter as AFAIK running a complete repair operation with PC Companion should erase all rooting traces.
Great news! We can expect something similar for Z then now?
@edit
I read in comments it's working on Z . Anyone can confirm this ? Do you have NFC bug ?

Hello,
I'm facing some small problem with my Xperia.
I own this device for 4 days, so please consider me noob (only for this device).
So I've unlocked my bootloader, rooted the phone and installed CWM, but the problem is that it is losing root after every reboot (I have to flash SuperSu libraries each time to fix it).
I've seen a thread about this, how to re-root my phone, however I can't find it anymore.
Could You help me to root my phone permanently?

Flash a pre-rooted 4.3 rom is better

Yeah, I know that's the way but I kind of don't want to change my ROM now, as I would have to set up everything (I know I can leave data, but it may cause FC's).
I also tried existenZ ROM, but it was slower.
I've found some thread about this fix, but it didn't work

I'd like to know this myself.
I have a feeling a flash to an earlier version is needed. I've tried several outdated roots with no joy.
OP you will probably get ignored or told to read a 100 page thread.
Use Easy root for xperia
google it
I know, right! Well, don't download the EasyRoot because afterwards it asks for a key and the website to get it from doesn't even function (unstableapps.com).
i think we may just have to go back to iPhone, or wait for a truly customizable new platform, where you can change battery icons and fully control your device. there doesn't seem a way to utilize our phones any longer.

New Root. I didn't have any issues. Installed a recovery too
Newroot newroot newroot!
Guys just go to this thread and download this tool by munjeni. Easiest root unroot you can find. No need to go back to an older firmware n all. Just hit root/unroot and you are all set. Make sure you install proper phone drivers though. PC companion should show that c6902 connected. I had a slight issue while rooting since the phone was not getting detected. Simply reinstall PC companion and you are good to go.

Hello guys, lot time ago i have rooted my xperia z with 4.4.4 android version. After that i had changed buttons/fonts and now i dont have stock of them. The problem is that now i want to update to android lollipop, and i dont have idea what to do. I dont know did i need to unroot firstly then update, or just update. But if i need unroot, did these applied things like changed fonts/buttons apearance did not cause some bugs,bricks without changing back them to stock and unrooting? Becouse these functions need root, and i want to unroot without changing them to stock, becouse i dont have idea where i can get them. Damn... Its madness, i dont know what to do now and what to do firstly sorry about my terrible english skills, and also i am big noob here as you can see. I hope you guys understand what i want to say, i really need help!!!!!!

Hi bro
to install LP you dont need change ane thing in your current rom
to flash LP every thing will be wiped (all data and phone partition get formated ) but you just have to be aware your phone is LB or UN: if your phone bootloader is unlocked then your not able to update via xperia update
wene ever flash roms via flashtool is preference:good:

Thanks buddy i dont have custom rom, unlocked bootloader, just rooted and thats it, without unlocking. So... did i can update lollipop? And the thing about buttons/fonts is that what i mean
Did after update will be everythink clear? Did these changed buttons will not cause bugs?
I have changed them with SoftKeyZ app, who require root, and i dont have stock buttons
To change back. And another question, did i need to unroot before apply android 5 lollipop? I have firmware update of it, so i need just apply it, but i am scarred.

OTA - Over The Air - Type of update, means you download it directly on your phone and it updates, without the need of PC.
Recommended: Backup everything - Clean Install (via pc companion or flashtool) - install whatever you want
Second - chances of bricking by just updating to lollipop in your case are minimal, however backup first so you can restore in case of a disaster.

Yes, of course , with an unlocked bootloader it is really easy.
With a locked bootloader however the only possible way is to root it with Kingroot (chinese app), and then replace it with SuperSu.
Have fun!

You can root without PC, but to ROOT you need to unlock your bootloader which can't be done without PC. Also, if you're new to this and don't have a PC, I highly recommend against doing this because in case of you brick your phone or something similar you would need a PC to recover it which would be again probably complicated for you if we take in consideration that you're new to ROOT-ing.
Hi mates.
I have some questions and I would like help.
I was on global stable v9.5.4.0 and flashes dev v8.4.1.9 to solve error 80006 when i tried to bind account.
Im going to root only to enable camera2api and install gcam.
My question is: after the process i can flash stock global rom downloading from miui servers and stay with root? Or i lose the root?
What is the option to having the updated stock rom with root access?
Thanks in advance!
