Reliable use this tool ? http s://w ww. search4roots . com/how-to-root-sony-xperia-z4/
I am looking to root, but I'm afraid
I don't speak much english. Sorry!!! (laughs)
This gets asked often.
Fact is, you cannot root the Z3+/Z4 wirh a tool or utility. The only way to do so is to unlock your bootloader, then flash a rooted rom.
I tried using KingRoot, but with no luck. It didn't break anything, though. What I had to do was unlocking the bootloader, then booting up a temporary TWRP-recovery and installing a SuperSU-installer with root binaries through that, as well as a kernel that allowed root privileges. It worked like a charm in Android 6.0 without any signs of misbehaviours

1. First, I would like to thank the XDA forum for its excellent tutorial on flashing lollipop rom using flashtool and for the lollipop ftf file. I have successfully flashed my xperia z.
2. I then "successfully" rooted my phone using Kingroot.
3. Please note the word successfully in quotes -- root checker apks tell me that my phone is rooted. Yet there are system programmes that I cannot uninstall.
4. Is it because I have not unlocked my bootloader?
Please share your experience. Thanks to all the people here.
No you don't need to unlock your bootloader.
Kingroot is not a good root tool.

Thanks for the reply. I have gone through the thread you mention. But I get the message which says that sdcard cannot be mounted. Thanks again.

You're saying Kingroot isn't a good rooting tool as it is but within the same answer you're linking him to a step-by-step guide which requires him to use Kingroot ^^
I've had good experiences with Kingroot, just dont use the "Purify"-Functionality after the rooting process
Apart from this, if you use Kingroot and it works for you (meaning no random reboots because of the RIC-issue) you're good to go! Otherwise consider replacing KingUser with SuperSU
I just want to root my HTC Desire 510 in order to use Xmod game assistant and just to delete bloatware. I tried using kingoroot, it said success, but it actually didn't even work. I found out that you need to unlock the bootloader. I don't really want to this, i have no interest in it. I was thinking of using Kingoroot's HTC bootloader unlock to unlock it, then root it using the kingoroot rooter, then re-lock the bootloader with the Kingoroot bootloader program. Is it risky? Please note my phone has no important data, it's new. And I do not want to install anything custom. Just get xmod and remove bloatware. That's all I need.
Would this all work? Please help.

No this won't work and the number one reason is because if you root the phone and then spend your time deleting all the bloatware you'll be wasting your time if you don't install a kernel with write protection removed because as soon as you reboot the phone will reinstall everything! So you need to unlock the bootloader and then install the custom recovery and then make a backup first before doing anything else and then install the kernel with write protection removed and then delete bloatware!
Ok, I decided I don't want to remove bloatware. I am just rooting so I can download Xmodgames and such apps that need a rooted device. No custom ROMS or anything. Would I be fine?

Yes. Although be warned rooting will restore the phone to stock after unlocking the bootloader.
Can you even use the phone if you make changes? What I mean is isn't the point behind a locked bootloader to keep changes from being made? So if you unlock -> make a change (rooting for example) -> then relock .... doesn't that equal bootloop when the bootloader notices you've changed something?
For my two cents... I'm probably more of a noob than you @uRager, and I got through the unlocking and rooting process with not too much trouble. I think the good old fashioned way will probably serve you the best. And there are several kernels that are just a modified version of the stock kernel (write protection removed) so a couple more minutes will get the bloat removed as well. Also don't be afraid to ask questions, from what Ive seen they usually get answered.
Hello, newbie here. Sorry If I'm in the wrong place, just needed some advice. I recently rooted my moto g via king root then replaced it with super su via wolfdroid method with terminal emulator. I've read it was a bad choice to use kingroot. Well anyhow I wanted to be able to install a custom recovery but have read it's not possible unless I unlock the bootloader as kingroot bypasses that procedure. My question is, is it possible to install a custom recovery on my device with a locked bootloader? Maybe via flashify or twrp manager? If not. What's the best way to fully unroot without doing any damage? Thank you in advance (p.s. I used kingroot as my laptop charger is broke)

Follow THIS, and you're complete stock with your valuable warranty.
Can it? I don't have access to a pc so I can't really install any of the more complicated ones. And since we're probably not getting Oreo, might as well root my device. I just need confirmation if P9 can be rooted with Kingroot.
For the beginning, without unlocking Bootloader you can't affect Boot partition to get it rooted
you can root huawei p9 with kingroot, if your phone are on b136 or b166, if your phone are on never version, then you cant root it with kingroot!
It only works on marshmallow I think
Maybe you can root MM builds with Kingroot or Kingoroot, but IMO only upon you unlock Bootliader - for which you need fastboot from PC

Told you, this is not old KK or L. You need PC (maybe MAC can do) for Fastboot commands
Btw, take Kiingroot/Kngoroot or whatever and try yourself

Can you give me a link on how to root P9 with a PC? What do I need to do?
Please use Google and search for the corresponding threads/guides on XDA
Read them carefully and if you have furtger questions please ask in the correspondibg threads
1) Unlock Bootliader, same procedure for P9, Honor, etc
https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-root-honor-7x/amp/
https://forum.xda-developers.com/hu...ide-unlock-bootloader-twrp-root-t3405701/amp/
If Huawei site to obtain the code is not available, search again on XDA, somebody recently posted an e-mail address to ask for the code there.
Or search and pay for DC Unlocker
2) Do not use TWRP from SRK tool in (1) - it's for old EMUI and MM, flash TWRP for EMUI 5.01/Nougat:

Hi all, i don't follow modding world from a while so i don't know what happened more or less into the last 3 years, so now that i need to root the device i wanted to do some questions.
I bought a realme 8 pro at the dayone and now i have the last update installed (so realme UI 4.0). I wanted to do the root but i don't know how much realme support it, if the bootloader is locked or not, ecc. ecc.
I saw in this phone thread that there is a method (the guide is written in May, 14 so it seems very recent) about unlocking bootloader (so i guess is locked?) using deeptest, i tried to read but i didn't really understand what kind of thing is that. So i wanted to ask, what is deeptest? if it is locked, if i successfuly unlock this bootloader what happens to AIO updates? (I guess there will be no updates such as other devices?). If the AIO updates stop to work, Is there a way to manually download and install updates? Can i root this device using magisk for example? I have seen there is something, but there are these things i can't understand.
Thanks in advance for replies and sorry for my bad english.
Hi, yup, the bootloader is locked.
Deeptesting is an app by realme used to request an unlock code. You can try this one https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/unlock-bootloader-help.4425415/post-86777721
Try submitting your application, if it tells you "Your model doesn't support deeptesting" you'll have to follow my guide.
Either way, after a bit of waiting, inside Deeptesting → query approve result → start Deeptesting.
Doing this allows your phone to boot into fastboot. Where you can unlock your phone using
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock
Unlocking the bootloader will wipe your data.
Hi, thanks for the reply! So there is a method to unlock the bootloader. But if i do it, i can't update anymore my device via OTA, right? How could i do that thing. In addiction, is not possible to obtain root permission without bootloader unlock? Because i need root to save whatsapp messages 'cause the application is stupid and can't do a backup by itself.
In addiction... I downloaded deeptesting and my phone does not support it. Yeah
You can get OTAs if, and only if, you didn't modify the firmware. Unlocking itself doesn't break OTAs, but rooting/custom kernels/vbmetas etc. will.
You can't get root without unlocking. As per Whatsapp, I think you can use ADB to back up data without root.
Thanks again. As i know ADB is disabled for whatsapp from a while. Ok then, thanks anyway for all informations. I guess after the bootloader unlock i can install magisk to obtain root acces.
