[Q] Experia-z c6602 on Lollipop rooted through Kingroot

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.

Please see my post http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...ce-lollipop-easy-t3119006/page13#post61265506

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

One click root?

I have an unlocked Honor 5C NEM-L21 running EMUI 5.0 B350. I unlocked it via PC but cannot access it until my new processor arrives. Is there any way to root the device without PC. Again, the bootloader IS unlocked.

Not until you flash the twrp. If you have done already then you can flash the root zip.

I don't need this anymore, already rooted
Lets keep this thread for future members.

How did you root your device by TWRP and flashing root zip or any other way?

all these 1 click roots are androidRATS, i personally wouldnt use them ever. theyll install weird chinese apps that you cant be sure are deleted even you delete them.

Yup had the same experience with 1 click roots tried it on my friend device and his FB and WhatsApp got hacked.
I wont Recommend them to any.

Can kingroot root P9?

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:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/twrp-t3565703
3) Root by SuperSU
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/root-supersu-2-81-emui-5-t3612258
or search for how to root by Magisk
or flash pre-rooted ROMs

ota updates while rooted

Hello!
I unlocked and rooted my p20 pro with magisk. I have the CLT-L04. I was wondering if someone could help me figure out where to get the updated ota files and how to flash them with fastboot. I have done some reading although it is unclear.
Also unsure if it's worth keeping my phone unlocked since Huawei won't be providing codes in four days.
Best regards

Download firmware here:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teammt.gmanrainy.huaweifirmwarefinder
And flash via hurupdater
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/development/tool-flash-official-firmware-recovery-t3769279
And even you relock your BL, you can use the same code unlock it again.

Great thank you that worked. I can't seem to find the code I used to unlock my bootloader, does it need to be the same? (Not planning on relocking, just curious)
Also my live wallpapers have now disappeared? I would appreciate if anyone have the theme files.
Cheers

Hi there bro! Noticed that you might be from Manila, too. I am also using a Huawei P20 Pro and on the verge of rooting. Been using Samsung mobiles for the past 4 years and have rooted all of them. Got the P20 Pro 3 months ago and somehow I cannot go on not having it rooted hehe.
Here are some notes:
1. I got the unlock code for the bootloader 2 days before Huawei stopped giving them out last month.
2. I have downloaded the TWRP (praetorian version)
3. Got Magisk v16.0
4. ADB and fastboot ready for use on mac.
A couple of questions:
1. Is it a good time to root now?
2. Why do some unlock/relock their bootloader??
Looking forward to your pieces of advice. Thanks in advance!
Cheers!

Hi,
to answer your questions:
1. Rooting is a personal preference. IF you're rooting to flash customs, there's no really available custom ROMs for this device at the moment. IF you need apps that needs root access and don't care about warranty, then root.
2. Not sure about his one. I don't see any benefit of locking BL aside from the disabling of the annoying "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted" warning when booting. Maybe claiming for warranty....

Amazing! I appreciate your input bro. I'll root later tonight. Thanks again! :good:
By the way, do I need to download newer tools for rooting or I have all the things I need?

Question Updates about Realme 8 pro modding options

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.
