is this possible?
anyone to confirm?
Refer to post #6 of the following thread. Superoneclick is working on FRG83G.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=923755
yes..possible... i already root my device.. u must install busybox on market.. root working great.. use superoneclick 1.6.3
Yep
vigorito, yes, you certainly can root 2.2.2
I went manual, no superoneclick for me. That's just preference though.
where can i find one click root from
How about Google?
Sorry for another noob question... if I root with SuperOneClick, will my phone be wiped back to factory settings?

No, it won't be.
Yes, I'm a newbie.
Anyway, I just got my hands on my fresh Z1 and now I want to install some apk and games. :angel:
Then I come to know that unblocking gonna kill my 20MP camera.
Can I just use Binary's root method?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
And the root install asks for 534 firmware. How can I upgrade from my 257?
btw, I'm just a PC geek...not much into Smartphones so...speak clear and loud if possible '_'
No need to back up TA if you just want to root.
Read the several guides on how to downgrade and root

Thanks bro, some of these topics were really helpful to get the meaning of somethings.
But, honestly I dont find how to downgrade :facepalm:
Im using the flashtool alrdy. I've downloaded a generic FTF but srly...I dont know how/where to install it. hahaha
When I try to use Binary's .exe it doesn't work, and im guessing thats because I'm using a 257 version.
On the flashtool i tried :ninja: to click on the "root" button and on some "Force XXXX root" but it keeps giving me error msgs.
What step am I missing here?
edit: nevermind, I'm starting to understand everything. this is a whole new universe!

nah what you posted was enough.
I'm doing just fine now. Its just that you guys use to "skip" some noobish step/description and something goes wrong. This is normal after a while working/talking/using those sw/fw/apk all the time
ex: To install the dual recovery by @krabappel2548
I got the install prompt doing nothing, not even an error or message. Why? Because no1 told in the instructions to unplug my device before installing it. hahaha
But my Z1 is already pimped right now loaded of themes and tweaks as I wanted

How do you know? KK 4.4 is stock but just Rooted + Recovery.
1- Reboot your phone and when the Green Led appear Hold Volume Down to enter in TWRP.
2- Test if you have Root. Download ES3 Root Explorer, grant it by SuperSU, Mount System to R/W, make a file in system folder.
Did you do that?

Stop this NOW! vroot is not a safe method to root, that sends your imei number to people in China never use that.
Also the [NUT] method ALREADY include root with XZDualRecovery stop wasting your time by rooting with another method that's useless.
That makes me nut that people came here and ask help when they only follow step they want instead the full process, no no and no!
So follow the FULL process and you won't have any problem.
It's ok

So you can Enter in TWRP Recovery? That mean something is working. Install NDR Utils by NUT and check again.

I was using App2sd script too but the things on Z1 are more complicated, thanx Google, so at the moment the only efficient method is to use Folder Mount.

As I said, nowhere is told that XZDualRecovery Root your phone and you did right, like many instructions saying. That the recovery grant Root I hear first time yestarday from QualQuek and gregbradley, just don't understand why every instruction say to root with different method if that is the quickest way. BTW, best method to Root, exept DualRecovery, the .534 FW is Bin4ry Method. Also IMEI lost was reported many times, but good you are fine, next time you know what you have to do, it's time learning.

Installation of XZDualRecovery on UNROOTED devices
The installer package uses rootkitXperia by キューブキューブ @ cubeundcube, it will be able to gain root on the following devices with the following ROM versions

So according to the list, flashing 534fw is supported for the root so that will root the phone.
If you follow exactly [NUT]'s method you'll have the latest fw rooted.
You'll never lost your IMEI by following the [NUT]'s method for the simply reason that you start by flashing a full stock 534fw, that's the way to recover the lost IMEI as well or using SUS if the flashing didn't work.

Darling, it is not the main method to Root the phone, I am almost 6 months here try understanding the best way to do it, as it was my intentions, and was never, i mean NEVER, recommended to Root with recovery, but with Bin4ry. Yes, recovery grant root, but this not make my sentence WRONG.

Grow up please, i'm not here to debate with you about what is the best method/option for rooting the phone, you said a wrong thing i've corrected it so don't react like a kid.
Also when you follow exactly the [NUT]'s method the root is included and it's the safe way to root your phone. I don't focus on my personal opinion, i focus on the best option, the [NUT]'s method is the best option.

You know the funny thing, Contributors, Developers recommended to me to root with Bin4ry and never mentioned about that, funny..huh? ..and here you come.

Probably because I used to recommend Bin4rys method until [NUT] implemented this into his Dual Recovery script.
Now I recommend doing it by dual recovery because using bin4rys method is obsolete now and is an extra step that is not needed.
@eclyptos, there is no two ways about it, advising rooting by bin4ry then installing dual recovery is overkill and not needed, again, its all about learning what these individual processes do to your phone and not what the end product is...
You could recommend leaving it on charge for 24 hours before each step to make sure its at least 50% charged. It does not mean its a wrong instruction, just that's its not needed.
Ok,Ok.

Hello everyone. I have probably the most typical question asked on these boards. I would like to root and install a custom ROM. I think anything custom will outperform the stock update I've got from Sony right now. First, my phone:
Sony Xperia SP
C5306
Android v4.3 running stock kernel
Build 0.266
With a locked bootloader
I have read a fair bit of Doomlord's info re: ROMs on LBs. (Thank you Doomlord!)
From what I understand the steps look something like this:
1 - obtain root - I think I should be able to root using Towelroot (Thank you Geohot!)
2- make backup of TA partition? - but I do not plan on unlocking my bootloader, thus this isn't required?
3- flash custom ROM using Flashtool.
Am I totally out in left field? There is soo much information! Can anyone here point me in the right direction for 0.266? I don't care about Bravia engine etc, I just want a smoother ROM.
Please be nice, as so many people have been on these boards!
Thank you from Canada!
See bro, I've seen many people say this that I'm a noob. And I've seen the same kind of thread number of times. Please search before you ask.
Just root it with towelroot and install supersu and busybox and recoveries simple. You won't lose be and other stuff

Thank you for the reply. I will do a more thorough search. Question though - with a locked bootloader I would still be able to flash a custom ROM?

Many thanks to both of you! I now have root, will install custom recovery, do a nandroid backup, and then flash a custom ROM. I just needed the proper steps, so thank you! Unfortunately I cannot upgrade the FW because my cell provider (Rogers in Canada) hasn't given the green light yet My phone has run really poorly since the latest upgrade, hence my quest to flash it.
One question, and it may be a stupid one, but do I need to install the Sony drivers for my phone? I have installed adb, SuperSU and busybox.. are Sony's drivers required? Is fastboot required? Because when I run the install.bat script and select the '1' option it loads the daemon but just sits there - my phone never asks me for SU access. What am I doing wrong, o wise ones?
EDIT: I figured it out and now have TWRP making a nandroid backup. Am very excited. Thanks everyone!
