So, I have decided on rooting my Xperia Z3 Compact so that I can finally move OBB to SD card, however I have no knowledge of how roots work (not a programmer much), or which one to pick. I have seen quite a few options for different roots, and previously used Kingo root, but seeing the post about it I am avoiding it like a forest fire. Anyone got good suggestions on which one to pick for my Xperia z3 compact?
In modern Android the phone's security systems prevent rooting via one click apps unless the device is unlocked. The best/safest way to root is to flash custom recovery such as TWRP and then install SuperSU.zip from TWRP. Make sure you make a backup first just in case.
You will most likely have to unlock your bootloader before you can flash TWRP. SONY devices are usually pretty Dev friendly, so you shouldn't have too much trouble finding everything you need. Good luck.

Your phone has a recovery. When you bought it, it came with the factory (or stock) recovery. Stock recoveries will only let you flash certain signed zip files and not all (for example - your ota updates). So you need to shift to a custom recovery that will let you flash any file you want. Custom recoveries are device specific. Search how to flash it in your phone. Common ones are - TWRP, cwm, philz.
Once you have your new recovery set up, you are ready to root it. All you have to do is use the recovery to flash the supersu file (i recommend chainfire). If you have twrp installed, the flashable su file is a part of it, and it will guide you.
Reboot after done, and supersu will prompt you to update your su binaries, done. you are all set. Dont forget to unlock the bootloader.
Your warranty will be void unless you revert all changes. Not at all complicated, you do it once and get the hang of it.
A short note on flashing: Flashing is replacing (or installing) certain system files. You can tweak your system in any way you like (overclocking, changing animations, installing apps or scripts, changing the os, etcetera ). Just make sure the zips you flash are compatible.

Is chain fire part of Super Su or do you mean instead of it? And what do you mean unlock bootloader???

Chainfire made the root strategy. There are various strategies. Supersu is by chainfire. To change your recovery from stock to custom, you need to unlock the bootloader. It protects the current system by not letting unauthorized files overwrite or execute their scripts.
Not unlocking bootloader and flashing may lead to a brick. So
download platform-tools by google. (adb)
Extract it. Say at C:\
Now install drivers for your phone
open cmd and navigate to the folder where you extracted platform tools. Follow the code.
Enable usb debugging from developer options
Code:
cd C:\platform-tools
adb devices
a device and some number should show up with an online status
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot devices
again, a device and number should show
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot reboot
if it says success,bootloader is unlocked.
download a recovery.img specific to your phone. rename it to say twrp.img and place it in the same folder as platform tools.
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot boot twrp.img
the recovery will boot. this is a temporary boot and will wipe off on a reboot. Flash your supersu zip to root.
That's all. You have a rooted phone with an unlocked bootloader.
That is the maximum anyone would describe for you. Still confused, please do some research.
Hit thanks if i helped.

Thanks. Tho I am sure once I get hands on to it, I will know what to do. Can't wait to move those damned OBB Xd
Just be aware that by unlocking the bootloader you are going to lose camera quality. That's because the keys for image processing are deleted. I think it's only noticeable in low light situations, but still important to know, because once lost those keys will never come back. Therefore I'd rather recommend this rooting method:

Well ****....my root doesn't work. I am using SuperSu and TWRP but for some reason a ram disk extraction fails and no install...is it because I have systemless version of my phone or whatever keeps popping up???? And how do I fix that crap???

You wouldn't have bricked your phone
If you followed instructions on their site and contacted them, like unlocking htc bootloader, congratulations, your warranty is officially void.
If you didn't contact them in any wau or uploaded your phone's mac/imei, if you re lock, warranty valid again.

At least I did this the safe way. Oh well, I never send my phones for repairs as the repairs are always overpriced, my dad fixes everything himself if actually fixable XD.
But my root issue still remains!

I am a root noob, i rooted my HTC Desire HD a few years ago, but then, it just seemed easier. Now i want to root and install a custom rom on my xperia Z, but it seems all the guides are made for experts? so i google'd and seemed to get hold of a guide, but not sure if its correct or outdated, i obviously dont wanna brick my phone.
So, first question, can someone link me to a valid, easy guide / tutorial, or atleast some reading material on how to root my Z? its the s6603, with Android version 4.4.2.
Secondly when it comes to custom roms, once again, it feels like there is no more guides for dummies like me, i know on my desire, i used to copy the zip over, erase a few things, and then install from zip, and it was flashed, but now i see things like this
Install instructions:
first time
- power off the phone:
- hold vol+ and plug usb to boot into fastboot (blu led)
- fastboot flash boot boot.img (from cm10 zip)
- fastboot reboot
- enter recovery, on boot led will be violet for 3'', during this period press vol+
- flash rom zip
- flash gapps zip
- wipe
- reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This makes sense, except for the :
- hold vol+ and plug usb to boot into fastboot (blu led)
- fastboot flash boot boot.img (from cm10 zip)
- fastboot reboot
What is fastboot, googling a bit it seems its a program i should install on Windows?
the boot.img, do i copy that out of the cm10.zip file?
To where, the phones SD Card? to Windows?
fastboot reboot, does this mean reboot the phone from fastboot? or is that the command that should be typed in?
Sorry if i come off as dumb, i am not, im just a noob. And i dont want the info spoonfed to me, i like to do my own research before asking stupid questions, but the info on the internet, is just to much, no 2 articles are talking about the same method, programs, etc
Thanks,
To root use towelroot.
To flash firmware use flashtool.
You can find tutorial on flashtool here somewhere.

Hi
To root your device first download app called TOWELROOT just install it and open it then click the button then go and install SUPER SU APP FROM HERE
and open it. You will get a popup window saying SuperSU binaries need to be updated. Click ok and then NORMAL wait until it's finish and you rooted your phone now
And the FASTBOOT:
fastboot is a boot mode that the device go into it to modifie some system things without need to permission from the device or rooting. BUT the fastboot flash boot boot.IMG is a command that you type in in the command prompt window (CMD) but you need to unlock the device's bootloader to do that or.. You will get COMMAND DID NOT SUCCESS error in CMD
Fastboot reboot command used to get the device out from fastboot mode. Use it instead of unplugging it
and as I told you fastboot not software or app. That zip file you download is drivers to make the PC recognise the device in the fastboot mode and you need to open the command prompt window in the folder you extract the fastboot drivers or it's can be also called ADB or Android debug bridge and the boot.IMG file you need to extract in from the the ROM you trying to flash and put it in the same folder you extracted fastboot drivers
Tapatalk'ed from my Xperia™ Z (C6602) running Dirty Unicorns ROM!
Sorry, but i am still stuck, i installed the tr.apk, that went fine, then i installed SuperSU, it asked me to update, then it asked a message about Normal or TRWM/CWM(?), i choose normal, but it said failed, and i had to reboot phone, i did this, and superSU was installed, so i tried to fastboot, i got into fastboot, it detected the device, but it said
Sending boot (10132 KB) ...
OKAY
writing 'boot'...
FAILED (remote: command not allowed)
finished
i then rebooted with fastboot, and thought maybe that superSU was not fully installed?
so i went into superSU, and saw there was an option to clean and reinstall, i did that, it asked for the same update again normal or TRWM/CWM, and i chose the second option TRWM/CWM, it said it will reboot phone, and so it did.
I then went to play and downloaded an app to see if i have root, when it opened superSU popped up and asked if i wanted to grant access, i accepted.
but the program came back and said i dont have root?
So where is the poblem, with tr.apk? or supeSU.
Thanks for helping the noobie

To check whether you are rooted or not download root checker app from play store and install.
The app will show your root status.
Thats what I did?
After installing tr.apk, I clicked on the make it ra1n button. And root checker says im not rooted.
Will I mess up if I try the process again?
Should I maybe dona factory reset first? Before trying again
Thanks

I checked again, I took the chance and re-ran tr.apk, and clicked on "make it ra1n" again, i then went RootChecker, and it confirms i have root access.
So, off to superSU again, and it asks again to "The SU binary needs to be updated. Continue?"
I then say yes, and I am confronted with the "If you have a custom recovery like TWRP or CWM, that can be used to (try to) install the SU binary ..."
I obviously dont have a custom recovery installed, and if i understand correctly, the boot.img in the cm10.zip folder, would be the recovery right? If so, i wold then choose normal, because i dont have custom recovery.
If the boot.img is not the custom recovery, what is then? how do i get it?
i tried to fastboot flash boot.img, once again now, after making it rain, but before running superSU, but still gave the error, that it could not write.
What am i doing wrong? am i missing steps here?

Then install and run supersu
Then unlock bootloader
Fastboot load boot.img
Then flash custom rom,
Or is the order wrong?

You can flash stock based roms without unlocking the bootloader. Aosp based roms need an unlocked bootloader. If a rom needs an unlocked bootloader it is mentioned in the description like this [ub].
To unlock your bootloader root is NOT required.
Is there no all on one guide for the xperia z that includes, root, unlocking, flashing, etc. Im a tad scared to use part of this tutorial, part of that , etc
Second version towelroot (no need to restart) me also caused problems with the update of binaries, so suggest you First version.

OK, SUCCESS !!
Thanks to all that pointed me in the right direction. I ended up doing the following.
Downloading the SDK,
Went to sony's developer site, got the boot unlock code for my IMEI, fastboot, blah blah
flash'ed CM10 boot.img
and then installed CM10 from zip.
I am playing with the phone as i type this, so it worked
Now, one more noobie question, and i will leave you guys alone (for awhile)
If i decide to install CM11, do i just copy the zip over to the SDCard, wipe wipe install? or do i need to fastboot boot flash with the CM11 boot.img?
Same goes for any other rom, just wipe wipe flash, or fastboot everytime?
Thanks again

At least that's the safe way. I hope you made a backup of your ta partition before unlocking the bootloader, otherwise your warranty is now void

ATTENTION!
You MUST read all the guide BEFORE doing it, if you do it without reading all of it first you may ends up bricking your phone!
Prerequisites:
Asus ZE500KL (may work on ZE500KG, but haven't tested, do it on your own risk) on Marshmallow, NOT LOLLIPOP!
Also, it must have fully booted AT LEAST one time, otherwise, you'll soft-brick it.
If your phone is not on Marshmallow, you can use THIS guide insteadDownload and put the unlocker zip file and the SuperSu zip file in the phone
How To:
1 - Install adb and fastboot driver (follow THIS guide)
Now you can connect the phone to your computer2 - Reboot in fastboot mode with one of the following method:
a -Volume Up while booting upb -With adb, after enabling USB debugging in developer settings, using:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Now that you are in bootloader, you have to boot in TWRP,
download THIS recovery (is the twrp one) and boot in to it, using this command:
IMPORTANT: DON'T FLASH IT OR YOU WILL GET BOOTLOOP!!!
Code:
fastboot boot TWRP-x-x-x-x.img
(Obviusly the recovery name must be the one you downloaded)
IMPORTANT: DON'T FLASH IT OR YOU WILL GET BOOTLOOP!!!
It should automaticaly enter in recovery.
Now you MUST flash FIRST ZE500KL_BootloaderUnlock.zip, otherwise you'll brick your phone
Btw, the recovery will mount your phone's memory, so you can put now the files in the phone, if you forgot to do it before
AFTER you installed the unlocker zip, you can install the SuperSu zip
When the install is complete, clear the cache and reboot your phone, now you can enjoy your root!

So.. I'm thinking of buying a ZE500KL and I've been doing some reading on this phone on the forums.. did it really just get unlocked like yesterday? does that mean custom roms from now on?

I would recommend Z00L/T, you will get cm13, official unlock at least.
You Say " May Work On ZE500KG" Is ze500kg already receive Marshmallow Update?

Working! Have you tried to flash Viper4Android? On lollipop this will break Call recording and FM Radio, maybe this will not be a problem on MM?

stuck waiting for device

Ok I don't know where I get wrong but I got this error.
Img file name is ok because I renamed it.
Drivers were installed already.
Developers mode is enabled already.
Windows 7 64bit
Tried rooting this using lollipop and everything went well.
thanks!
UPDATE: i got it. it has something to do with the drivers.
Without opening the bootloader.
Notice. I have not tried it.

i think isnt permanent, this step is needed to boot into twrp then flashing a unlockBL..
to make permanent.. the command must "fastboot flash recovery twrp_X.X.X.X.img"
but make sure to unlock bootloader first...

Is it me or everytime I reboot the device after rooted, it's going back to unrooted?
Root is a success tho, great job, OP!
Edit: okay, not every reboot, but after several reboots, then it went back unrooted
This is a short guide on rooting for thous who are new to this stuff
Steps:
1: download adb platform tools from here
2: Unlock bootloader. follow the guide on htcdev.
make sure you have htc drivers installed so that you can use oem command in fastboot mode for unlocking
3: Download TWRP
4: Download SuperSU and copy it to your phone's internal memory
5: Enable USB debugging and type "adb reboot-bootloader" from pc
6: Type: "fastboot boot twrp-3.1.1-0-alpine.img"
make sure you have twrp image in same folder as adb.
7: Wait for sometime you will boot into twrp recovery from there select install and select the SuperSU zip file
8: reboot and check for root

You should make sure you get a pristine backup at hand, or a RUU appropriate to your device. Otherwise you'll never be able toreturn to a full stock system.
On the U11 it is possible to boot TWRP from fastboot, without flashing it and thus without touching stock recovery. That way I've been able to flash Magisk what's coming with MagiskSU and the possibility to use some Modules. And all without altering the system or replacing stock recovery in the first place.

Connect phone to PC, boot into bootloader mode and type fastboot boot name_of_recovery.img that'll just boot the custom recovery as opposed to flashing it, that way you can make a nandroid backup of all partitions including stock recovery.

The guys method of using recovery to backup recovery will only work on Philz… Not twrp as it does not always backup stock recovery properly. The proper way to backup stock recovery is..
1. Root your phone, which can be done by towel root or by just booting a recovery like he said,
fastboot boot twrporwhatever.img, then flash supersu
2. Boot phone that has stock recovery
3. adb shell
4. su "watch your phone to grant root adb access if you haven't ever done it"
5. dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p43 of=/sdcard/recovery.img
6. This will put flashable recovery.img on your internal sd card. Copy this and save it for later
7. "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" will get you back to stock recovery, "fastboot flash recovery twrporwhatever.img" to flash custom recovery.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If possible and a TWRP recovery is available one should boot to bootloader and try if the command fastboot boot name_of_twrp.img works. Make sure to NOT grant r/w at first boot and leave it ro. Now you can perform a backup of stock recovery, boot and system image (not system partition!) to obtain a pristine backup.
All else will alter system partitions md5 and the backup won't be pristine any longer. Due to block based OTA policy introduced by Google you won't be able to OTA without a pristine system image.

2. Can I flash Magisk instead of SuperSU ?

But in download mode there is no fastboot active ?! Until you installed the correct drivers
no "fastboot" (like a "one s", etc) on this phone. no fastboot usb
"fastboot" command work in "bootloader menu" and "download mode"
fastboot oem only in download mode
Hello. Please explain what I am doing wrong. I will download what is in points. I download this adb something, but it does not work. Nothing starts. Does not communicate with the phone. OCB. Could anyone write this guide so that he could understand and act?
I've read some other posts on how to root this phone, but in my mind, it doesn't seem specific enough. Even though this phone was $90, I really don't want to screw up the process.
If it's still too complicated to root the device, I'd be happy with being able to get TWRP going.
You may lose all data, pictures, etc. Back up what you need first.
Step by step guide:
1) Unlock your bootloader. See https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a for instructions, If your bootloader cannot be unlocked, then STOP. If it can be unlocked, you will now have an unlock code.
2) You will need ADB for the next step. You can Google Minimal ADB and use that. Use "fastboot oem unlock CODE" where you use the code obtained above.
3) You now have an unlocked phone, without these steps you cannot proceed further. The TWRP variation that you use depends on the type of phone processor you have. There are TWRP variants for both Qualcomm (https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e4-plus/development/twrp-twrp-moto-e4-plus-qualcomm-t3697154) and for Mediatek (https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...rp-ported-twrp-recovery-moto-e4-plus-t3667559) Be sure to use the right one. Download to your ADB directory.
4) I put the Magisk.zip (for Root) and the Magisk Manager on my phone first. Links are here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
5) Back to ADB. Command is "fastboot flash recovery YOURIMAGENAME.IMG" The name of the Recovery image will vary depending on which one you downloaded.
6) TWRP should now be installed. Use the ADB command "ADB reboot recovery" and you should be at the TWRP screen. Flash the Magisk zip. Reboot the phone (and that will take a bit.)
7) You are basically done, but install the Magisk Manager APK to get updates.
You should now have an unlocked and rooted phone.
I believe that the Amazon E4 Plus phones already are unlocked because the bootloader was already unlocked in developer options

I have never seen a new phone come with Developer options enabled, let alone OEM unlocked. Also, when you say an "Amazon phone" if you mean one with Amazon ads enabled, those have a locked bootloader.
But no point in debating. Go to ADB and type "fastboot oem device-info" and that will give you the status.
Everything goes seemingly well until I do "adb reboot recovery". Then I get "error: device not found". What am I doing wrong here?

I've installed the drivers. I can can transfer files n what not. Twrp also runs when booting it but not when flashing it. I get the "device not found" error message. I did end up rooting by just running twrp instead of flashing it, but would like to get it flashed.

1) You can have your phone recognized by your computer as an MTP (letting you transfer files), but not under ADB. Those are two different things. The drivers that I linked to, along with Minimal ADB, should get your phone recognized under both.
2) If your phone is rooted and you have TWRP installed, then you don't need to do more. But if you follow the steps above, you will get ADB to recognize your phone.

Okay Thanks for the info, But i'm trying to root my phone on mr2 i can't find any thread that shows how to root mr2 with steps ??
I'm on MR 2 as well. Follow these steps :-
Unlock bootloader.
Flash Arter's kernel from bootloader mode. Then boot into TWRP recovery (comes with Arters kernel) and from there flash latest Magisk zip to get root.

Have you tried flashing Arter's kernel then reboot into system before trying to root?
If that works then maybe it's the rooting that's bricking the phone?

Honestly it's easier to root phones today than it ever has especially the RP2.
If you are truly unlocked this should only take you minutes to do.
First things first. Open a terminal where you have ADB / FASTBOOT installed or if you setup the attributes properly just open a terminal.
Type adb devices and it should give you your serial number of your phone. If not adb isn't installed properly.
If so, type adb reboot bootloader and phone will boot to bootloader.
Type fastboot devices and again it should give you the phones ID. If not fastboot isn't installed properly.
If so, type fastboot flash boot and the name of your arter97 file.img this will also install TWRP.
After installation from bootloader menu scroll down to reboot recovery and it should boot to TWRP.
Click cancel then swipe to allow modifications. In TWRP menu select INSTALL then choose where you've saved the magisk 20.3 file on your SD or internal drive.
After installation reboot system then install magisk manager if not already installed. At this point you're rooted. Have a great weekend!!
Good luck! :good:
Make sure you have unlocked your phone, suggest following razer official instruction.(new xda user cant post outside link, search it)
1.Unlock the Bootloader 2.Unlock the Bootloader Critical Partitions 3.Flash official System Image
And please note unlock will erases all user data on the Phone!
After unlocked your phone you can flash arter97 kernel or f(x)THaxxorX TrinityKernel. Both of them contain TWRP, install Magisk Manager and flash Magisk in TWRP. Get rooted.

Also, make sure you're using the Razer recommended USB cord and ADB/Fastboot.
https://developer.razer.com/razer-phone-dev-tools/factory-images/
Cables
When connecting your Razer Phone to a computer for any development, it is advised by Razer to not use the in-box USB Type-C to Type-C charging cable for flashing. The supplied cable is specifically engineered for fast power delivery, not for data transfer. Razer recommends you use a USB 3 Type-A to Type-C spec-compliant cable for any device flashing.
