Hello
I've been trying to install Cyanogenmod on my Xperia T.
However, I need recovery (CWM) to do so, which requires root acces.
I've been able to unlock bootloader but rooting isn't a succes.
I tried all the root functions in flashtool, and some others but nothing works.
So, is it safe to downgrade my firmware from 4.3 to 4.1.2 with flashtool, root that version, and then install recovery/cyanogen?
Thanks!

Yes it is safe. You can install any custom rom from any stock firmware (unless it states in the description that you need a certain firmware).
Btw: did you try towelroot? I believe it should work on 4.3

Allright, just wanted to be sure!
I've tried towelroot but it kept rebooting, even on 4.1.2.
But I've been able to flash CM on my xperia a couple of minutes ago without problems (apparently it came with its own recovery menu).
Developer tools had a root option and that luckily worked.
Thanks for the help :good:

Hey guys,
I just bought my Xperia Z1 model : c6903 4.3 Jelly bean version 1.4.2.A.1.136, I want to know this is work to root and how ? because I keep tried for many root program like vroot but it doesn't work even I do not know how to enter to recovery mode too. I tried to do as many way to enter to recovery mode what I have found but it doesn't work.
Thanks for your helping !
There's no way to root 4.3 directly yet. You have to downgrade to 4.2 root & install recoveries than update with custom rom.
The only way is a method to get full root on your phone. Downgrade to the firmware .534 provided by NUT to not lose IMEI, Root with Bin4ry, then follow the instruction to Update to .290 HERE, then follow the instruction to Update to .136 HERE.
Hey guys, I'm just wondering if it will be available an easier rooting method for the Xperia SP with 4.3 for locked bootloader.
I saw the post in the forum, but I found that method very difficult for me
For unlocked bl? Just use custom kernel with recovery and flash supersu fix. Thats all.

Sorry, I wanted to say Locked Bootloader

hey, there is actually no easier way to root locked bootloader! but it is not soo complicated, just follow the instructions.
Just wait for NUT or Doomlord to release an exploit to directly root 4.3

Yeah,that's what I wanted to hear. I saw the rooting method posted but I just know how to use flashtool,no more. Let's see if it is available y a couple of weeks or so
Once you have all the downloads in place it only takes twenty minutes to root the latest fw. Not a big deal imo. Remember that the last 4.1 build didn't have an exploit, it's possible that there won't be a way to easily root for the new build...

Indeed, the LAST 4.1.2. As you may know, this is the first firmware version of 4.3. Doomlord's exploits did work on the first version of the firmware (4.1.2) directly too (.211 etc).
Sir may i ask
Im not sure if im in the right thread bout this.
Ive tried rooting my Xperia SP using DoomLord procedure i was able to do everything correctly
But when i was in the part for using rooting toolkit there was a message that it cant pust SuperUser.apk and the phone restart after that i wasnt able to find the Super user app
Got USB DEBUGGING ON
Able to flashed the old version before rooting but it was still the same
can you guide me with this or if not Please kindly point me where to ask this question Thanks

Check the step correctly
You have to keep USB debugging and Unknown Sources (setting > security > unknown sources tick box) ON before running the root toolkit.
Then give a try

Agree - at least not on my XSP on stock 4.3
My wife, on the other hand, has a sony ericsson ray, updated to 4.0.4 firmware. Rooting it was a breeze (with Eroot) - less than 1 min.
She is as happy as a lark when I got rid of the Japanese and Chinese keyboards for her
...and a few other stock wares that cluttered her phone.
Interestingly - superuser (the default) works better in the SE Ray than supersu (lags)
Q
Yup ive tried does step correctly no doubt but i toolkit says that superuser wont pushed phone restarts but the superuser app wasnt there
Happened many times with me,
First I flashed .257 kernel on .254 then run the doomlord easy rooting tool kit v18, then it was rooted, then flash the .254 kernel again, these are the steps to be followed.

Why don't you use a custom ROM?

You can always flash an official Sony kernel with a locked bootloader.
Hello,
I've been trying to root my Sony Xperia V (LT25i) for some time now. I'm after nothing fancy - just root access. I don't even need an unlocked bootloader. Therefore, I'm only open to methods that don't wipe data.
So far, I've tried using Doomlord's easy root kit (v17) and Bin4ry's universal root (v30 and v33).
I have tried using different PC's (Two running Win7 64x and one running Win7 86x), using different USB cables and ports. ADB drivers have been installed on my PC's, using Sony PC Companion and/or the universal ADB driver. I never installed Flash Tool.
USB debugging and "accept apps from unknown sources" have been switched on. My phone was unlocked (on wakelock) during every attempt.
I have tried rooting build 9.2.A.0.295 (latest - Android 4.3) and the official build Sony released before that. (Not sure about that build's number.)
No matter what I do, all the root kits I've tried get stuck on "Daemon running successfully".
Can anyone please tell me what I've missed?
Still no way to root 4.3 update using those tools, it isn't supported currently.

Ok, thanks. I suppose it doesn't matter bringing up my attempts at the previous update - I have 4.3 now. I'll wait

If you wanna root then you have to unlock bl.
Mine is rooted with unlocked bootloader. 4.3 .295
Search forum
You may wanna check out rooted version of steveboss and DoomLorD in V Development section
I'm using Rooted Odex by steveboss and everything seems smooth
Good luck
Noob question
Tried searching but no definitive answers are found.
For unrooted, locked BL device on 9.2.A.0.295 -
can we
just flash the official stock kernel for 9.1.A.1.145 then root
use rootkeeper and reflash it back to the kernel of 9.2.A.0.295?
I apologise if this is previously sorted out, but I am pretty new to the xperia lineup(2nd day).
I have a C6902 with build number 14.1.G.1.531(android version 4.2.2)
Can I use bin4ry's tool to root?
And then directly use the XZdualrecovery installer?
At present I do not wish to unlock the bootloader neither upgrade to kitkat, but want to try stock based custom 4.3(flashplayer! Yay!) JB. Will iHackers 3.0 be installed without loosing root and the dual recovery?
bump
Anyone?

I'm not sure about the bin4ry thing but there are many ways u can root on z1 since it's on .531
maybe vroot or king root
yes, then u can install dualrecovery and go for iHackers 3.0, your dualrecovery will be still here after installing
have fun
Hello all,
Im totally confused as to how to go about rooting my device c6902. Ive owned a couple of android devices and Ive rooted them all, however....with this device and there seem to be different ways people have rooted from reading the threads and im totally confused, So far I have unlocked the bootloader, and upgraded the device OTA to lollipop .242 (before the bootloader was unlocked), I dont intend installing any custom firmware, just want root so I can use TB and maybe delete a few bloatwares with root explorer and use xposed.
Im confused as to whether:
1. I have to downgrade firmware to kitkat, just to get root, then upgrade back to official firmware?
2. Ive been under the impression that a custom recovery and supersu, is enough to get root. It doesnt work that way on this device?
3. I saw some oneclick root programs that worked on the z1 compact would any work here
Just trying to know more about the phone and understand, so any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Using the guide on the link I just posted, you are not required to unlock the bootloader, unlocking the bootloader without backing up the TA partition can cause problems with your phone.
You need to downgrade to KitKat 4.4.4 with kernel 108, then root it with easyroot install supersu and rootchecker to make sure your phone is rooted, the use NUTs recovery to create a recovery partition, after that search XDA forums for a pre-rooted lollipop flashable zip and install that, and voila you should be on lollipop with root and recovery.
I am not sure about one-click root programs.

I already unlocked the bootloader though. Do I need to downgrade the whole kitkat rom or flash just the kernel? thanks
Figured out. Thanks
