I may have uninstalled it while removig bloatware :x
I wasnt sure if it would remove the "software update" in settings too.
How can I update my phone in the future?

Does the app installed?
Rooted device will still be able to receive update but if you have unlocked your bootloader then you won't receive any update except you relock back but sometime don't work.

yes my bro

Good job broo.. I will be using this on my Z2, hope you're planning on other devices as well

And how did you root it?
by downgrading to 4.4.2 then flashing 5.0.2 via recovery?
or you used another method

Is this works on UNLOCKED Bootloaders ? I tried Nuts last version of dual recovery but it didn't work for me.
//EDIT: IT Works on UNLOCKED Bootloader. Sweet! Now we have RECOVERY on LOLLIPOP! HELL YEAH.

Thanks for this.

Easy Root Xperia ZR 10.6.A.0.454 [LB/UB]

Hi, I found a easy method to Root our Xperia ZR 10.6.A.0.454
install the latest version of KingRoot 4.1 from this link install the app and click on root, thats all, your device will be rooted,
Note: you need to update the su binaries after rooting

Thanks!
No problem at all, just go ahead dudes.

App needs to stay installed?

not necessary

Whether Root stays when you reboot the device and Is there any device malfunctioning after root?:fingers-crossed:

The root doesn't hold when your restart the phone. Tell me how to update the su binaries after rooting

Erm, it fails as it auto reboots. What happened? KingRoot 4.1 not working...

Root stays after rebooting, but BL is unlocked! perhaps fails on locked BL?

Oh great I can re-lock then ! thanks for that!!
Edit; After relocking- had to re-flash fw (had app failures/rebooting) OK now! I hopes?
Getting lots of reboots now.......it's not looking good?
AFTER ABOUT 5 or 6 reboots it's now quietened down ....for now!!! seems OK
CRASHES & REBOOTING.......NOT OKAY! Maybe a heat issue.......while updating apps? took the back off seems to have helped?
EDIT (AGAIN!) It's not very stable...but it can work!

There are instructions on this forum how to replace the kinguser with the superSU. This step little bit tricky. My device reboot many time during change the kinguser to superSU. You might want to try..

I found SuperSu Me to be simple and working, you can find it from Play store.. It removes Kingroot and replaces KingSU with SuperSU.

hi there, thank you for the tip, but actually after I run the app you suggested above, it's still unable to use xposed in my XZR. Any ideas then

Issues faced with this root method.
Titanium backup doesn't recognize this root method, but busybox does.
Cannot use the rom intergration fuction, even after getting an updated version of titanium backup
Viper4Android works though.

Magisk v18 & Vanced YouTube?

Anybody successfully running the vanced YouTube magisk module? I'm ready to give it a try but wanted to see if anybody had it working before I install it and risk a boot loop.

Yes you need to unlock the boot loader (it's in the instructions). On my firmware (52.0.A.126) the camera works (including denoising) using the camera fix as instructed. I don't know about later firmwares.
If you flash an AOSP ROM the camera will always work, maybe even better than stock.

You will lose your DRM keys, so Netflix will be limited to 540p. Camera works just as stock with the fix in my instructions.
Here's my dirty keyboard at ISO 12800:

I have a couple more questions, if you don't mind, please
1) Installing "liboemcrypto disabler" module will enable HD/FullHD/QHD video quality back into Netflix etc?
2) Do you still receive OTA updates from Sony to the latest firmware?
Thanks

Netflix uses a device whitelist for 1080p and higher based on Netflix ESN (Electronic Serial Number). Your ESN gets wiped when you unlock your boot loader. Liboemcrypto disabler just makes Netflix work at 540p with a rooted device (provided you also use MagiskHide).
masteriori said:

You receive OTA updates but you can't install them because the recovery partition (used for 2nd stage OTA) is overwritten by TWRP. So OTA will just attempt to update -> reboot into TWRP -> reboot back into OS -> update failure.
