I dont know the other way.
If you already unlocked the bootloader, flash TWRP Recovery using Fast Boot Command and then flash SU Zip using TWRP.

I don't know why but I just couldn't make it, I got soft brick everytime and I flashed to "32.3.A.0.372_R3D_Customized RU" for hundred times. I quit trying that.
Now I'm trying to root my E6553 (on 32.2.A.0.224), stiil couldn't make it either. It stucks on SONY logo or endless boot loop. I just want to root it for once, not to flash twrp but to boot on twrp and flash SU. Isn't that what we call "root"? Am I wrong?
My device bootloader is unlocked, on stock MM rom "32.2.A.0.224". I just want to boot it on TWRP and flash SU, that's all. Isn't that enough for rooting? After that I want to use some apps that only works on rooted devices.
Anyway, thank you for your help, I really apreciate that but I still need help more than ever, each post that I followed to root my device ended in a bad way.
I have essential drivers, my bootloader is unlocked. What is wrong with my device? I tried lots of boot.img's, recovery.img and twrp1.img's but nothing changed...

Sorry bro, forgot to tell you that you also need a patched stock kernel (with DM Variety & Sony RIC disabled and DRM fixed). After that only you can flash SU Zip. Else it will be boot looped. Check guide link for making patched kernel of you choice of version with one little tool. You can also flash custom Kernel like Zach Kernel, Andro Plus Kernel... etc instead of patched stock kernel to avoid bootloop after SU flash.
AND MY XPERIA OPTION TO BE TURNED OFF else also will in boot loop.
Now the steps are as follows:
Flash Stock ROM
Flash patched kernel
Flash TWRP Recovery
Flash SU Zip
That's it
More info Patched Kernel and DM Variety & Sony RIC disabled and DRM fixed: LINK
I did it at last
One of the kernels didn't create a bootloop after I tried aprox. 128 times and after that SU was flashed. Now I have substratum on MM, thanks again

Ohhhhh... Great...
But tried 128 times??? OMG... You have to spend some time on reading all TECH and FAQ posts before attempting the 3rd atleast bro.... :laugh::good:
I spent my whole time after work and slept at 3 am for 4 days, spent aprox 30 hours... I read every discussion about root 5 times on forum. ?
Why is it so hard to find a proper kernel to root?

Right, so I've been following http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/orig-development/root-xperia-z-c660x-unlocked-t2154310 to root my xperia z. I followed the instructions but when I wrote the second image it refused to boot properly, looping constantly through the sony logo IIRC.
To fix this I used the recovery image. I can get into it just fine but when I try to install SuperSU-1.25-Busybox-1.20.2-UPDATE.zip it goes through the motions, but rebooting the phone just brings me back into recovery mode. Any ideas on what's wrong?

there is only one image that you need to flash that is boot.img
after that flash advance stock kernel in recovery followed by super su make sure your bootloader is unlocked if you plan to flash custom kernel

I'm not sure what firmware I'm on but I did update it just before I tried all this. I did unlock my bootloader and used boot.img to get into recovery mode. Super su is done through recovery mode right? Because every time I try to install it it just returns to recovery mode with no changes

By the way, the guide you were following is outdated and has an old version of the kernel, that's why you went into a bootloop.

It booted properly. Thanks. So from there it's just installing zip? Or are there any other steps?
Flash a SuperSu zip and you're rooted. Simple as that.
I suggest this one - SuperSU zip.

I flash the boot.img and there's no problem at the boot time, then I flash the recovery, and the same, when i reboot it works like a charm.
But everything goes wrong when i flash with twrp the supersu beta v2.52 or v2.56, when i reboot, it doesn't boot...
My phone continue on the first bootanimation (before flash this file it boot then says android, request my pincode and start booting, but no this time, just still doing the [email protected] bootanimation. I am kind of desperate, can somebody help me plz?
DONE, I re-flash system and do it again, thanks for everyone
dont use supersu 2.52, use supersu 2.51 instead http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/chainfire/supersu/supersu-2-51-android-apk-download/

yes. but you will need that boot.img or any other custom marshmallow kernel as well for root. btw, a boot.img is a kernel. also, you can flash boot.imgs with twrp now too, you just have to select the ability to flash it in twrp.

Hi,
How do I root the phone now, after upgrading to 6.0.1
I've tried the method mentioned here: http://www.guruswizard.com/2015/12/root-android-one-devices-on-6-0-1-marshmallow.html to root my karbonn Sparkle V
and it wasn't successful, and I've lost all data after unlocking bootloader [I've got desktop backups though]
When tried to flash that modified boot image mentioned in that page, I am getting this error:
target reported max download size of 134217728 bytes
sending ‘boot’…
OKAY [0.515s]
writing ‘boot’…
FAILED (remote: size too large)
finished. total time: 0.577s
Is it for 2nd Gen devices? Did anyone get root access on their 1st gen sprout4?
So how do I root my phone now?
Thanks.

Cody kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/cro...elopment/kernel-cody-kernel-07062015-t3128888
Supersu: http://download.chainfire.eu/743/SuperSU/BETA-SuperSU-v2.52.zip
Flash both of them, and enjoy root
Or if you want root on stock kernel
Use supersu 2.62 from attachments of this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64161125
It will patch the kernel automatically and root without modifying system
Hope that helps

Custom kernel and Custom Recovery both are different things,
Custom kernel is the device supreme commander which controls all processing, ram, fluidity and many others fact you can tweak it but cant use it to root the device..
On other hand Custom recovery is used to recover phone by flashing ROMS, zips , img etc.
So you can flash supersu from custom recovery and root your device
But if you already have custom kernel installed on device then its clear that your device is rooted, as bcoz. your custom kernel gives you some extra tweaks which is given after root.
So device emulates that you have custom kernel so your device is also rooted..
I think that you have understood....

You can flash one using fastboot. Or instead of flashing you can even use the command "fastboot boot recovery ......... " (replace..... With name of recovery image file) . Once you are inside the recovery flash supersu zip normally and you'll root your phone without installing a custom recovery.

Thanks for the info Atishay. How do you undo root if required post this method. Also does rooting with the above method affect future OTA installs?

Go to Supersu app and click the option for full unroot/cleanup. That'll do the trick. Also, if you are rooted, you still receive OTA. In fact I received the Lollipop OTA while I had a custom recovery installed. The only difference that made was that after downloaded when the phone rebooted into the recovery for installation, the OTA zip wasn't installed. So you can unroot, keep the stock recovery and kernel and locked bootloader (you can relock it using fastboot) then you'll receive OTAs. However, I'd suggest, you install a custom recovery and simply flash an OTA when it arrives from the forums. Hope that helped you.
Very helpful indeed! Thanks Bud!

hello guys plzz help me today I unlock bootloader for karbonn sparkle v non rooted 6.0 marshmallow then install philztouch recovery..then after reboot the system BT my phone on only recovery mod not on normal mod plzz plzz help sorry fr my bad English
So today I embarked on what seemed to be a fruitless journey as I tried to root the Infinix Hot 2 on the latest build (December Security Patch of course) and I observed the following:
1. Flashing TWRP Recovery that was previously made for this device doesn't Flash. SP/Infinix Flash Tool flashes the recovery quite alright but booting to recovery with ADB afterwards gives a "No command" screen.
2. Kingroot (PC & Mobile) can't root this device as of yet :'(
3. I think the bootloader can be unlocked using the Android One Toolkit that was created for 1st Gen Android One devices. Reason being the fact it booted to fastboot and prompted me with the option to accept bootloader unlock or not.
Should you come come successful with flashing recovery or rooting this latest build, please comment your method. Thank you...

recovery partition is protected, it will get back to stock recovery if you boot the system. so you really need to boot recovery as the first thing you do after flashing.
which because of the similar bug we can't unlock our bootloader, is impossible to do with default setting. flash your lk partition with this:

Hello everyone,
I'm in a little trouble. I need to install custom recovery on my Xperia SP C5302 but I have no PC.
How can I install TWRP ( preferred ) / CWM/Philz on my device ? Is there any way ?
Thank You.
Note : There's a cyber cafe beside my house. But all their computers are running Windows XP.
If there's no way to install without PC then can I be able to install custom recovery on my device with Win XP ?
Thanks again.

Install a terminal emulator by Jake Pelvich from Play store.
Extract the official TWRP img from the TWRP fota zip, or, if you already downloaded an official img, put it into the root of your internal storage.
For ease of access, but still mnemonic, rename the img into "twrp.img"
Open your terminal emulator, and enter "su" and run. This will make the terminal to request root, as you're elevating the shell into root.
Now, we "dd" the TWRP image into your FOTA partition. Copy and run the following:
Code:
dd if=/storage/emulated/0/twrp.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/FOTAKernel bs=4096
Reboot to check if recovery is accessible after hitting volume up when LED lights up

What ROM are you using? You need a ROM that can boot a FOTAKernel recovery, and not all of them can (especially stock based ones, since stock by default doesn't allow this).
Ditto.
If you are not using a ROM that supports booting from TWRP, then I can't suggest a method to install other recoveries without a PC.
I do not say it is impossible though, but it'll take a lot of brain power, and moderate understanding of shell scripting in order to reverse engineer the other recoveries provided in the dev subforum.

Again if I flash stock now, will my bootloader be locked again ?

Like already explained by Tomoms and me, you need a ROM that supports booting recovery from the FOTA partition in order for my explained method to work. You didn't also tell us which ROM you are using.
No, you dont need to flash your stock back. Leaving the FOTA partition replaced does no absolute harm at all.
If you flash stock, your bootloader will still remain unlocked. In order to relock, you will need to explicitly relock it, by using the relock bootloader option provided by flashtool. If you backed up your TA partition, restoring it will automatically relock your bootloader.
