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 ...
this worked on my Xperia Z C6606 with 4.2 firmware (build 10.3.1.E.0.191)

so, it is confirmed that it will work on any android, which using kernel [3.0 .. 3.5.4]
bug is fixed in 3.5.5
Does anyone try to root xperia SP with this tool? My friend try to root his SP, and after rebooting, there were no supersu and busybox.
OK so it should work on this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47737253

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

Hello forums!
Well, this my be a noob-like question, or not, I have no idea. So, here it goes...
My Sony Xperia T does not want to be rooted no matter what method I use. Bootlocker unlock is not allowed, but I have seen many root when they have this too, so it's not that causing the problem.
I used DoomLord's rooting toolkit first of all, to be told by the application that my phone LT30p is not accepted, even though the root includes that phone...
I then used Bin4ry's root with restore, and once again, that didn't work. I was taken to the service menu and had to click on Display, but that didn't work. The rooting toolkit just didn't do anything, just sat there...
Then I tried SRS Root, and that didn't work either.
I have PC companion, and I have USB Debugging and Unknown sources all enabled AND I have the ADB drivers... what is the problem!
This has been bugging me for a long time, I could do with some help!
Thanks in advance,
Joe.

Try disable any antivirus or similar program like that
Don't use non specific ADB driver
I guess, installing PCC it's enough
Btw, I never use any Sony software now
The best ADB driver you can find, by using ADB driver from flashtool
XD
Okay well, I got the drivers working (thanks to you) but...
dom...dom. doooooooooooom!
Still not working. For example, when using Bin4ry's root, I get to the part where you have to sit on service tests>display and nothing happens, and after about 10 minutes, it simply says root failed in console, but device does restart, but is not rooted.

Don't use Binary method
Using Doomlord easy root
What the Build number your current OS ?
Yeah I have tried that, even though it clearly says that the Xperia T can be used with it:
Hi, I recently got a Xperia T and couldn't get it to root.
After messing around I finally got it to Root. What I had to do was use Bin4ry's root method first choosing option 2.
Once that was done, I then had to use Doomlord's easy root. After that was done I ran SU which deleted the version from Bin4ry's root and success, my phone was rooted.
I don't know why I have to use Bin4ry's method and the Dommlord's but I do know the only way to get my phone to root is by doing both root methods starting with Bin4ry's first.
I know for a fact this is the case because I re-flashed my phone to stock, trying different methods, in different orders. The only way to get it to root was to do Bin4ry's and then Doomlord's one after the other.
Tried it, it didn't work for me Thanks anyway dude.

you must downgrade to JB firmware that can be rooted using Binary or Doomlord method
After that, root, install CWM for locked bootloader
Then, follow instruction from the OP ( link above )
Just Google if you need more information
Yes but how can I downgrade? What do I need to do? I have looked for tutorials, I can't seem to find any.

For ur model C5306 i think will be nice if u take a look: HERE
EDIT: Sometimes u have to do the process 2 times for see the SU app :highfive:
(Follow all the steps properly it will work, also make sure adb drivers are installed (If u install Sony PC Companion and connect ur phone with usb debugging on, adb drivers are automatically installed) also when before executing runme_win.bat, make sure u exit all other adb related program like Sony PC Companion, Flashtool, etc.)

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

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!

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.

Is this another fly-by-night app like Kingoroot? Does it need internet connection to do the root exploit (and probably connect to the Mother Ship, somewhere in China)? If does, then it'll get banned by the forum admins. This Kingo Root app has been trying every sneaky underhand method to enter into this forum.......

I have downloded this files, It seems legit. this method is somewhat similar to Doomlords method, however this uses 3rd masterkey Bug to root, while doomlord used 2nd masterkey bug, if i am not wrong. Accordingly this should work in most of the devices as none of the manufacturers have fixed this Masterkey bug.
works great , thanks

thanks man,

OK so this works. But sure as hell made me worry as to WTF was it doing, based on the DOS command prompt box output... Seems to be written for output in Japanese Script.
Didi it first in sandboxed mode and second time rooted with WiFi and Internet OffF. Avira found no malicious scripts, and the firewall detected no ports being used by the programme.
Attached Screnshot, which was confusing, to say the least...

Never seen such an error. So u rooted successfully. without any problems, however you got an error after returning to stock?? now thats interesting? You can fix it if you have TWRP recovery Installed by fixing permission as per various threads only TWRP method works and not CWM. and would you check bootloader status in service menu?
Bootloader status is Unlockable. Hovever running on Locked Bootloader (Not Unlocked from Sony, DRM & BE still available).
How do you remove root? In SU app there is option to remove it, is this safe? Will factory reset remove it? Thanks in advanced.

Factory reset won't remove root. you can either flash stock Rom or use the option in su. If you don't mind losing data it's better to flash

Hmmm. I installed the Sony developer drivers found here:
http://developer.sonymobile.com/downloads/drivers/
I downloaded the rootkit and replaced install.bat with the English version.
I enable Developer mode by tapping build number 7-times...
but still I am stuck at "Waiting for device ..."
Ideas?

Please try original install.bat to determine cause of this problem is install.bat or not.
Also run "adb kill-server" in command line or stop adb.exe in task manager and tyr again.

All,
I am going round in circles, so hopefully someone will be able to point me in the correct direction.
I have an Xperia Z regretably updated to android version : 4.4.2 / kernel version : 3.4.0-perf-g32ce454 / Build number : 10.5.A.0.230.
I wish to root the phone so I can install Avast antivirus / theft and Titianium Pro basically so I can get rid of the dross Apps and protect my data should my phone get stolen.
All I want to do is root the phone , I do not need to install any custom roms.
I have tried Androxyde's Xperia flashing tool v0.9.16.1 which reports my phone cannot be offically unlocked (bootloader?) and also reports "part1 exploit did not work" when trying to root the phone.
Doomlord's Easy Rooting toolkit v18 gets to *start daemon*, *daemon started* and then just sits there.
So does anyone know how to simply get root access for the Xperia Z running 4.4.2 ?
Thanks
Smess
PS I did encrypt my phone and then found you cannot backup your data to your PC, fine idea epic fail.
Now factory reset to remove encryption.

Rooting does not require bootloader unlock.
Use this to root in the easiest way credits to geohot

Unfortunately the file to be downloaded is blocked by my AV as it contains a Trojan.

Well firstly, you should download towelroot from the actual source towelroot.com.
Edit - It appears there's a problem with the website's certificate at the moment, so I assume that why androidtweaker1 linked to elsewhere. ?
Edit 2 - It appears to be fixed now.
Secondly, root exploits trigger AV software because technically they use a security hole to push files to /system. Malware would use similar techniques, but there's nothing to worry about in this case. Either temporarily disable your AV or download straight to your phone.

I personally prefer to download from the original source :laugh: but some issue is there on the towelroot site at the moment so I gave alternate link
Clicking the lambda on the site is still giving issues on my side
Xperia Z rooted
Many Thanks
Xperia Z rooted and Avast & Titanium installed sucessfully. Had to remove Towelroot afterwards as Avast kept complaining about it.
Donation on its way.

Yes, I acknowledged that there was a problem with the site at the time. ?
In Chrome, long pressing the lambda and selecting "Save link" worked for me.
