Kingo root drivers

Anybody has drivers for Z1 that are necessary to finish rooting via kingo root?
I installed drivers provided with flashtool (also for fastboot) but still kingo root app is persistently downloading drivers and then after finishing downloads it starts downloading once again.
Transfer rate is uber lame - 3kb and I've been trying all day

Thanks, but turns out those are the same I had already installed looks like kingo requires some additional drivers.

Haha yup I had the same problem.
I just gave up and used Vroot and now I'm pre rooted on latest firmware

hah I'm about to do the same but I just wanted to give my branded rom last chance
U used Vroot on flashed .534 then OTA to .257? Or had whatever was installed on your device - just rooted and then OTA?
Thanks

I had the same problem but I've re-installed Kingo, restarted my laptop and Bum! Rooted in no time.
If you use VRoot, you will have annoying Chinese messages popping up and this root can cause a problems when updating through OTA...

Thanks for that! Good finding!
Yeah, I remember that first time it didn't install anything, just loop dl/install, but after reboot and re-installation it asked for permission to install unsigned driver (twice) and then it worked just fine! Now, it's rooting every time without downloading anything..

It seems like Kingo root program creates a one time download file with a expire. And ofcourse above link is created on the fly. Everytime you start it changes the parameters. SO best way is Wireshark, start kingo and try downloading till it works.

Can you find the download somewhere on your computer (c:/program files/kingo root/) I think it's in files or setup. Then it's usable

Thanks for that - didn't occur to me to check trace... Well I tried using that link with no success - download is interrupted after a while and cannot be resumed because link expired. But afaik the Google USB driver is part of ADK. So I installed that but the current revision is 9 so kingo still looks for 7
EDIT: Tried in the early morning hours and without changing anything the rooting succeeded.

Rooted 4.2 can't update ota?

My rooted 4.2 c5502 started showing ota for 4.3 (file size is 307.1Mb), I was hoping update via ota would retain the root. Unfortunately, after many tries, the update keep on failing.
When click on update, system will reboot and screen showing android icon with a progress bar. The progress bar will run for about 3 or 4 second and system just rebootsback to lockscreen and show a msg saying "could not install".
I assume this might be due to the dual recovery I installed? Before I try restore the recovery, anyone else able to update via ota and still got root?

I too rooted my phone nd tried to update the phone via OTA. But I was getting error message.
I didnt install any recovery. I just rooted my phone via vroot.

Thanks for the confirmation. I know for sure you can update through PCC as I did for another phone. I too rooted using vroot. Anyone else with other rooting method pls share the result.

I had the same problem! (Got root via bootloader unlock)

Mine also got problem cannot update my ZR. my ZR also root and boatloader still lock. If hard reset can solve the problem or not?

Just try this
Hi, sorry for my bad english
You should try this, you can get root and the latest version (locked/unlocked bootloader)
I got my with this metod, really working and no bug (only the original bugs from Sony
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2655893

In another thread a possible solution for this problem was mentioned: if you have renamed or deleted some original files (like system apk's or some other protected files) the upgrade routine recognizes it and stops the upgrade process.
In my case the problems were caused by removed apps, when I restored them, everything worked flawlessly.

uggh.. wtf Samsung.
The error message actually says to try updating Via Kies. I installed Kies and plug the watch into the computer and it says the firmware is already up to date. I wonder if the update being pushed is not correct or something.

No Root Access
After installing update it fails root permissions. Going back to MK7. New firmware is nothing special fyi.

OK, well I got it to install using Samsung Kies from the computer

My Gear got a new update this mornig and the install was clean with no problems.

No issue with install XEF-V700XXUBNC1

I suspect this is just to add support for the S5 since it is releasing the day after tomorrow.

"Could not install" update

Hi,
My phone's current build number is 12.0.A.2.254
I've downloaded 12.1.A.1.205 but 30 s after restarting and installing it says "Could not install" and then I have to download it again and repeats.
How do I fix this?

Are you rooted and/or have xposed installed? And you're talking about OTA right?

Oh my phone is rooted and have SuperSU? OTA means through my phone right? If so yea it's not via my pc.
On SuperSU there is a "Full Unroot" option which says "Cleanup for permanent unroot"
Will the update work after it's unrooted and will I loose all my setting and app data if I do this?

If you don't know what root is, you don't have it
If you have xposed installed, Uninstall the bridge, then your OTA may work. Use supersu survival mode, not root cleanup

P.S Before using flashtool update drivers from \\Flashtool\Drivers
Select only those for SP and Flashmode
After this you will lose everything, for Super easy root method search SP forum for Tr.apk

My phone is on 4.1.2 though, can I use the ones listed under 4.3?

If you want 4.3 use 4.3 Rom
For 4.1.2 Use 4.1.2 Rom
Flashtool dont care what version you want to use
I was upgrading mine from 4.1.2 to 4.3 using flashtool and Stock 4.3 ftf and i have Locked Bootloader so if this metod would be faulty i would end with brick instead of phone
P.S This will make CLEAN install of 4.3 You wil LOSE ALL your data, apps and stuff on System and Data Partition (Build in 5,3Gb Partition).

[Q] help on ota update (rooted but locked bootloader)

okay so I tried the ota for lollipop so many times but always 'cannot install update' pops up after reboot. I read a few threads here and I learned that the best way is to install a stock firmware then update to LP. btw my phone is C5502, i installed superSU but i have it permanently unrooted and was successful. Also i installed busybox but uninstalled it now. I have a foldermount but it's not working since i have no root anymore. Plus my phone is still bootlocked, i guess. anyone can help me what to do since I cant do flashing without a computer. I'll really appreciate some help here.

I'v this problem too but i get over it by updating by sony pc compination

OTA will often fail if you have changed anything in the system.
Root, uninstalled a system app so to do a OTA you will have to undo the changes and also se that there are no left over files.
