No. Its not. I've got the same problem. Rootcheck tells me its not rooted. Can anyone help please?

Just flash supersu zip file through recovery.

With the Cm 12.1 you have the device rooted by default, BUT it needs to be ACTIVATED..., you have to unlock the developers options, then go to administrative access, then put aplications and ADB, and you will have the device rooted now...

check out the supersu beta thread. currently is v2.52. its good to go if you're using 5.1 or 6.0 rom. flash thruogh recovery.

If you installed cm12.1 just you have to do open developer settings and again you have to open root permission in developer settings (im not english guys, if i'm writing false pls dont ban xd)
maybe i was have to read the thread. Sorry guys this suggestion already written.

Do u have original link ?
you can flash in a custom recovery if you are TOTALLY STOCK.
it's ok if you are rooted (though you'll probably lose root).
This will FAIL if you are on a deodexed stock rom.
If you are rooted and want to maintain root, then just flash a supersu flashable zip (google that for a link). after flashing the ota

It came from users who got the notification. Since there is only one variant of the N4, it is easy to tell it is the correct update.
Soooo if I flashed this and i lose root. Can I use wugfresh's toolkit to reroot?
Any way to flash and not lose root? Or is it easy to get root back with the toolkit?

I just asked that same question bud.
Update keeps failing for me. I was on Franco kernel, went back to stock kernel and wiped cache and Dalvik. Not sure what is going on.
Where can I find a stock 4.2.1 rom? I'm CM10.1 right now.
and when is the original OTA version coming? im using stock unrooted rom and i dont want to root

Huh? The OTA is here now. You don't need to root or unlock the bootloader to install it. Either wait for your phone to get the notification or install the SDK and use adb sideload.
can someone do me a favor and upload a copy of the file in system/lib named
libwebrtc_audio_preprocessing.so

Me, too. I was on faux's kernel and flashed back to stock after wiping cache and Dalvik and I'm getting a Status 7 error when trying to flash in CWM.

OTA Rootkeeper successfully brought back root access after I flashed the 4.2.2 update. As long as you have your root backed up prior to updating, you don't need to reflash supersu.
A question, I'm rooted running stock & am very familiar with flashing Roms but never an update like this / do I wipe anything when I flash or not?

You have issues with root.
How did you root? Have you disabled RIC? Did you give xposed root rights with supersu app?
Try checking root with a root checker
Iam rooted and I checking it. I cannot remember the method that I have followed for rooting. That is the RIC?

Well, that message from xposed says you are not rooted.
Untill you can remember how you rooted or you can confirm you are rooted then we can not go any further.
Please root again or show a screenshot of your super user app giving root access to other apps, and show that you can create a file in the system partition or data/app folder of your phone to confirm you are rooted.
RIC is in sys/kernel/security/sony_ric/enable and should be set to 0. Unless you have killed it with an init.d script or a kernel mod it will always revert to 1 on a reboot and hence you will lose root.

[LB/UB] Easily Root JB 4.3 and KK 4.4.2

Hey Everybody
Good news.
Easily root Xperia ZR on .101
I used http://towelroot.com
Fast and easy
Of course USB debugging should be enable.
Happy rooting
I ve seen this on the Xperia Z forums and what works there works everywhere !
So I say it works on the KitKat firmware
Dont think it would work on. 230 firmwares, kernel are patched in those.
But it should work on earlier ones.
Maybe i will try later.

Sounds great. Hope that it will stay with the new .233 kitkat that may be come in a view days.
Can we make OTA with this rooted version to next update that fix a view problems with google play services? Will root stay?
After this root you only had to install a recovery and it is perfect right?
I dont know yet, I wat surprised that it worked in the. 230 rom.
I flashed a clean tft, installed this app. After reboot i installeren Su then the recovery. As far as I see everything works, a small revolution......

Is installing recovery really necessary?
Thankyou wafeeq for sharing
I have a few (noobish)questions about this method of rooting, because the instructions are still a little sketchy for now.
I was wondering what the point of installing recovery is, is it to get the SuperSU to work on the phone? (forgive my noobish question).
After installing recovery do I have to set anything in recovery mode?
Is it necessary to unlock the bootloader?
Does this mean I can use backupTA after getting root? That would be awesome.

You are welcome.
1- Superuser is not recovery, imagine superuser as the policeman controlling root access.
2- just install recovery mentioned earlier.
3- You will not unlock your bootloader so nothing to fear regarding drm keys or ta partition.

Ok thanks, the rooting actually works I tested without installing recovery and rootchecker says it is rooted
As for recovery which BAT file should I run? SuperSU.BAT or SuperUser.BAT? I don't know how to check which one I have
There is post pointing to this ZR dual recovery method http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2471981
It has 2 batchfiles to choose from and the text file attached tells us to ensure we install the right BAT file by checking which one we have. Which one is the best option?

Can confirm working flawlessly on .230, tested using "Terminal Emulator" and gives a positive root result of #. Installed SuperSU and behaves as expected when trying to run root applications except when I try to run it manually, it prompts for an SU binary update saying "SU binary needs to be updated, Continue?". The normal update fails, think this is because i'm running stock firmware. Will need to flash the SUupdate after installing a custom recovery.
Ps: The Mcaffee antivirus detected the rooting apk as a virus, false positive prolly.....
