Don't.
Sent from my Xperia Z1

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?

Updated TL Lt30a 9.1.F.1.120 boot user to remove bloatwares

I have just fortunately received and installed the update for my TL Lt30a (AT&T) v.4.1.2.
I used to have a root software loaded within the older version and had Root Explorer with SU from where I downloaded the root software from.
But with the new update, also came with the annoying bloatwares that compromised the battery life of my phone. I know there's a new feature that extends battery life, but I dont have the need or use for the AT&T apps.
Is there a new root software already available to remove these?
Or a site that I can be directed to the right direction and get the unwanted apps off from my phone.
Thank you,
Sorry if this was posted already before, but if there is a link to that thread that has already started commenting below would be just enough.
How about searching first buddy? If you Google "Root Xperia T 4.1.2 or Jelly bean" I promise you will find your answer in less than 1 minute.

Welcome to XDA. Sorry for the late reply.
You can't remove the AT&T apps unless you have root access.
To unlock from network you will need a code. These can be obtained from AT&T if your contract has been satisfied or you can purchase a code on-line from a third party.

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.

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.

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

kingo is the english translation of the wmshua app at wmshua.com.

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.

[Q] Is there "one-click" rooting for 4.3 (.290) firmware?

So it seems there is not simple VROOT or Kingo Android ROOT style rooting available for those who don't want to unlock the boot loader.
Anyone came across anything similar that works?
I'm aware of this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588331 and the instruction in there, this is not quite the same as what I'm looking for.
Not yet.
I just want to ask this though. If unlocking doesn't break anything anymore why are you guys not willing to unlock.
On one side there are users who bash the manufacturers all year long just to get their devices unlocked, to no avail. Then some super awesome dev comes by with a Santa stick and pwns the bootloaders. (ex-AtrixHD user). And there are those who have unlockable bootloaders but don't want to unlock. I do not understand why really...This is my first unlockable phone. Unlocked my N7 2013 one month from purchase. Never have been happier.

Okay. I'd like the same too just for App Ops/Greenify. I love stock. But there's no one click solution yet.

Otherwise just downgrade to .257, then update back to .290 OTA

OTA to 290 is useless. You only get partial root and that means you don't have much to do.

Agreed. It's better to flash a pre-rooted stock-ish ROM from the dev forum.

Useless, I already tried iHackers (pre-rooted stock-ish) on locked bootloader and got partial root access because Sony's RIC is in the kernel now. So whatever you do, you will only get partial root unless (somehow) you disable it. And currently there's no way to do it with a locked bootloader.

are we likely to ever see a 1 click root for 4.3?????
4.4 Kitkat will be out soon, make sense to whoever makes these 1click roots to just wait for 4.4Kitkat.
i stuck with 4.2 for now. locked BL and nothing on 4.3 to get excited about. rooted.4.2 is better. ill happily wait for 4.4

Waring vroot sends iem to china some thing bad could happen.
I will tell you how I rooted mine.
1.I used z2 exploit 11.

DO NOT USE OR CONDONE VROOT UNLESS YOU GIVE THE FOLLOWING WARNING.
Vroot sends your imei number to an IP address in China during it's attempt to root your phone.
You have been warned

Yet.... or that you know of.....
However, the official policy of XDA forum is not to suggest using VRoot unless you provide the warning to users as well.
So please bear that in mind, so users are aware of the risks themselves
You have too muchtime on your hands.
Do know how alot z1s remotely Rooted so many bad things could have happened but it did not.

hmmm, using team viewer or others remote things to root is fine, people take the risk themselves if they allow someone remote access to their PC
However, Vroot takes personal and confidential information from your phone and sends it to china, if you are happy with this, fine do it, but please advise others of the risk, especially as there are easier, quicker and safer ways to root.
Also, there is no need to get personal.

The warning is needed due to Vroot having closed source and it does collect personal information.
All of the Software on XDA is use at your own risk.
If you are not sure what a software does then you may want to think twice before you recommend someone use it.
Listen all I did was tell him how I rooted my phone I have included a waring on this post.
