I'm currently new to all these rooting stuff. I check everywhere online but I couldnt find how to root my Sony Xperia Z
Model: C6606
Android Version: 4.2.2
Build Number: 10.3.1.E.0.191
Can anyone figure this out? I want to root my device to map controller for games.
If anything I'll downgrade if it's not available
Try Root many Android.
Method 0 (cubeundcube method) should work for you.

LOL. What a rude individual you are.
Protip - When asking for assistance, good manners are a must. You can apply that both here and in your daily life.
1. See post #26 of this thread.
You will see that it successfully roots the firmware that you have. You will also see from the first post of the thread that the exploit was created by cubeundcube.
2. The tool I originally linked to contains the same exploit by cubeundcube, without the need to manually set the path to adb for it to work. I specifically linked the easier to use tool, as if you're unable to find these things by yourself with a Google search, you obviously need the simplest method possible.
So, to sum up, if I say it WILL work, you will try it? I said "should" because I own an international unbranded, unlocked Z (C6603), not a crippled carrier branded variant, so I cannot say 100% that it will work.
Try it if you want. If not, good luck with your unrooted phone.
In future, if I see any more requests for help from you, I'll be sure to stay clear, lest I do not meet your exacting standards.
Cheers.

we dont need anymore stupid questions in the general question.
and plus you can easily search for a thread and i guarantee if you have a fully functioning brain you can find it within 30 seconds.
"Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
For all your questions about the Xperia Z"
QUESTIONS GO IN THAT SECTION FFS
If you have a 6606, then you are in North America, (Canada / US). Please check if your bootloader status is locked or not. You probably need to unlock your bootloader first from your wireless provider first.
And I agree with the others, you're rude, brash, you disregard advice and need to search/check b4 posting.......
Dead Cookies leave no trails...
@spazzy1912
He posted there as well, I just saw this one first. Instead of just telling him to post in the correct place, I thought I would be nice and give him what he wanted.
I won't make that mistake again.
@Cookie Ninja
The C6606 bootloader is permanently locked. There is no way to unlock it and neither Sony or T-Mobile will help.
Sony will blame T-Mobile for requesting that their branded variant has a non-unlockable bootloader and T-Mobile don't have the means to change it.

Hello,
I'm a new user in this world of htc and updates, new ROM's, etc.
I have a hudge problem (for me) with my Kaiser, i just can update my Kaiser with the original ROM, taken from HTC web site, but it's slow, witch is my big problem.
So how can i update to use one of those ROM's? i tried many, but doen's to, it's starts, but stay's at 0% and give an error on the screen.
Witch Rom it's better and how do i make the update?
Can anybody help me?
Thanks and regards,

Don't misunderstand us, most of the time we are very friendly but the problem is that so many double posts are around here cause people are to lazy to read.
For example have a look in the kaiser wiki and voila: you'll found your answer.
If you have a serious problem, no matter all of us will help if they can. But your problem is just an "i haven't red" thing.
everyone can read
But it's more quicly if anybody can help without reading allstuff that has in that link.
However i tried a lot's of rom's and just the original works, why the other doesn't?
What could be wrong?
Thanks for the link.
David
For everyone its simple!
For those who work with that every days it's simple!
I know that it's simple, and when i find it probably i will say " it's that, just that" or other things...But for know it isn't simple!
thanks anyway...
You need to flash HardSPL prefered 3.29 or 3.56 then you can install every rom, and that was simple cause it's the first if you search after first time flashing
Thanks
It was the HArdSPL! once again thanks.
Now, one curios thing! each one of those ROM's are good, quickly and functional?
i'm downloading again some to try! the original was too slow...
It was a bit simpler after I read things for myself.
The forums rule state that you need to search before asking.

There should be compulsary training one of which would be reading the rules, the other would include updating sig with device ROM info and place of origin etc "it all helps"
Then they are not allowed to post till they have read all the wiki and passed the test......

I know this will seem stupid, but I am a noob when it comes to rooting my phone. I was going to try it, but I have the Sprint OTA Update that blocks rooting. I have yet to see mention of a new method of rooting the phone, so is there another method? Do I have to go back to the original RUU (2.1 something).
Also, the only REAL reason I want to root the phone is to remove the stupid Sprint Apps (that you can't remove otherwise) and to re-enable the WiFi Hotspot functions. Do I need to install a custom ROM for that or can it be done without replacing the current ROM from Sprint?

If you follow the guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=694572 you'll see that it tells you how to downgrade to an older RUU that allows you to root your phone.
The other questions I'm not 100% sure about since I'm a newb too, but it wouldn't surprise me if you were able to. Rooting is a powerful thing.
It can be done without installing a cstom rom, using ADB, or a kitchen.
How
Do do I re-enable the WiFi Hot Spot and remove the stupid NFL and Nascar aps once I root the phone? Someone said I could use ABD or kitchen, but I know nothing about either.

No one can tell me how to turn this on on my phone? Do I need a special ROM? Is there a way to turn this back on just by rooting my Hero using the .5 version of Sprint's Driod 2.1?

Wifi Tether
I did the suggested Google Search and found lots of "experimental" ways to tether for various Andriod phones. Unfortunately, none of the phones listed were the HTC Hero running Android 2.1. So, any other suggestions?
http://code.google.com/p/android-wi...me=wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre2.apk&can=2&q=Evo I Think this is the one.
That one
That link appears to be for Android 2.0.5 on the Evo. I am running 2.1 on the Hero. Will it still work?
Just try it. It won't break your phone if it doesn't work. The worst thing that can happen is that your dog will die and your house will burn down.

It's the same file that used to be labeled for the Hero as far as I know. Or what Reinhart said.

thank you for that atleast your trying to correct yourself lol..
now as far as tethering goes it was really random with me on liquid and kifno roms it just dosnt work on them i tried different kernals but no dice if you want to stay on a 2.1 sense rom i highly recommend using nfx stock with apps2sd its by far the most stable one and everything works. because its pretty much just the ruu rooted with apps2sd.

Ok, I'll try that, but I really like this ROM and would like to learn how to fix problems with other people's ROMs, if possible, hence my DEV post. Devs should know how to do that. Are you a dev? There has to be a way. Reverse engineer, analyze logcats, update swap out drivers, etc.?
you cant post threads asking questions in development you need to go to the specifc roms thread and post your question there instead. also liquid isnt supporting his 2.1 roms anymore so it might be hard to get a fix for it.

I've experienced the same problem with more than one ROM and have tried that approach to no avail. Downloading and flashing an ENTIRELY NEW ROM because one or two things doesn't work with the current ROM is like throwing the baby out with the bath water, and a very VERY NOOB thing to do. There has to be a way to diagnose issues and fix them in ROMs in general. Someone knows how to do it. And coincidentally USB tethering in the ROM you suggested isn't working for me again! However I installed the wired tether from Google and that is working.. ATM, which did not work with the other ROM.

I didn't see any such rule listed ANYWHERE. And it wasn't your womanly nagging and griping and complaining that caused me to post here, it was my attempt to get my question answered. Your whining gave me justification for a "cross post"-if you will. You wanna be a moderator don't you? Reminds me of this.

Bottom line is, your ranting like a woman didn't help, neither you nor I could change the location of my post even if it really WAS posted in the wrong place, and furthermore, though it was moved, there is no rule stating I can't post questions as a new thread in development.

Please, don't. Devs are not around here at the moment doesn't mean they are uninterested. They are people like us, they have their lives too and not to mention they have to maintain development for other devices as well. Why don't you try to contact devs for XL like capy directly?
Sent from Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10i using xda
not much can be done by devs without device and also need know how. id say contact the Alpha-Rev devs as they seem to be the main contributors where s-off is concerned. they have a website in sensation s-off thread. they would be your best bet. this is a good thing but ahead of what is currently possible in here. also right now s-off is not off that much importance as we can do quite alot with s-on and unlocked bootloader. s-off will be needed for super cid, radios, bootsplash and anime etc. be patient
thx for your answer, with s-off, we can push up cooking cool Roms quite alot....
Ill write them...thx
Got my answer!
This post can be deleted.
right, the missing OFF is funny
... anway, compare what u see to the other "N" and "F" chars on the screen -> it should be S-OFF

NE3 (kitkat) which is easily rootable, which you can then go to lollipop (and keep root) easily enough from there, should you wish. MF1 is ancient, no wonder it's giving you issues.
Even if you don't need or want root, go with NE3. It's the most stable of the recent builds, and from there you can either stay on kitkat or easily upgrade to lollipop, with or without root.

DON'T use kies. Trust me on that. The download link you asked for. Extract all four files and use all four concurrently with Odin should look like:

I would strongly recommend using Odin v3.09 if you aren't already, I have it for you if you need. Yes I realize the picture shows 3.07 but trust me I've done this a million times
Alright I'm gonna do it right now hopefully no errors occur I'm gonna post to tell you what happens
Oh! I should mention, when you do this, your phone will automatically reboot on its own a couple times, and one of those times will be to the stock android recovery. This is completely normal, just leave your phone alone and let Odin do its thing. I say this because I've seen so many people freak out when their phone starts doing stuff on its own. Just let Odin go, it knows what it's doing. Good luck!
