[Q] Need Help Rooting C6606 4.2.2 Tmobile

Hey there guys, I'm new to all of these software stuff. I'm trying to get my device simply rooted. I looked everywhere on the forum to see if anyone actually rooted my version of device. Some people say they did it but they didnt post how they got it or the instructions. So if anyone can help me, I would appreciate it. (Also, I don't care too much for roms or customization etc as long everything works perfectly fine. I just need the root in order to use the app called "SixAxis" a mapping for games.)
My device's bootloader is locked im guessing since it's by tmobile, but if there is a root out there, please give me links/exact instructions. I AM A NOOB BTW
Thanks
I currently own a Sony Xperia Z. It's model number is C6606
Android Version is 4.2.2
Kernel Version: 3.4.0-ge32669e
Build number: 10.3.1.E.0.191
By Tmobile

im not sure what method 0 is. is it the whole link/page itself? the binary v33 root download?

Ok nvm, i figured out what you meant by method 0. So i tried it, and the device rebooted and i checked it with the root checker app, and it didnt root. Nothing was installed or anything like that.
Then i attempted to do it again but this time "run it as administrator". Then the root kit said "the system cannot find the path specified"
Any ideas or other ways to root my device?

First, make sure drivers are all installed. USB debugging needs to be on.
Then make sure nothing else like the PC Companion is running before you use the toolkit.
This should work for you.

Can downgrade? yes or no?

Hello is it possible to downgrade this new firmware release?
I have already tried all other stock ROMS and ODIN FAILED all time.
I just want to confirm if its possible to downgrade, if yes, then how to go back to 5 1 1.
Thank you for reading

I think it is better to prevent user to downgrade their Phones. As you know, since Android 5.1.1 released, Google replace the Samsung Reactivation Lock with their Factory Reset Protection. But in the lower versions of the android, there is many way to bypass this protection on Samsung Devices. Samsung fixed it on their security patches. Just imagine that if user can downgrade their phone to any version of android, when a thief steals the phone, they can easily to bypass it and make the phone become theirs.

Thank you for replying but I am still clueless if I can downgrade that specific android version I showed in screenshot above.

no one?

Have you tried TEKHD's stock-rooted 5.1.1?

You cannot downgrade... Once bootloader is upgraded there is no way back. You can try but highly you'll end with bricked device ... Also if you try custom roms they wont boot due to mismatch bootloader and recovery. Maybe if you search google you will find a way to do it but if i was you i would not take the risk

Can't install TWRP

Hey!
I am not being able to install TWRP since I returned to my Rom stock.
My device is xt1064 (bought in florida)
Does anyone know any solution?
Methods I tried:
1)by doing it via fastboot: This message appears when I do it

2)Via android: I tried to root my phone and later install it via the official application. unfortunately I don't know any application to root in marshmallow, so I installed stock android kit kat, I rooted my phone and later installed twrp on the application.
the problem was that I was unable to flash things, or basicly I wasn't able to do anything with it because everything failed.
I installed marshmallow again, because twrp failed after I deleted everything.
Does Anyone know a solution?
I apologize for my bad grammar. I am 15 years old and I am from Argentina.
Greetings.

I did it again on another pc and somehow worked.
I don't know why it worked, because I tried before on that one and didn't work.

Just had emui 9.1 update but being asked to install again. And again...

I just installed the emui 9.1 update on my phone but after restarting I'm being notified of the update again. This happens around 5 minutes after restarting following the update being installed. When I install the update again, it "installs" in about 20 seconds before saying the update was successful and reboots. I have tried the installation 3 times now, but I have just set the installation to "later" so I dont get bothered by it again today.
Is there anything I can do to stop this happening?

Disable system update app using adb

All very well, but then I won't get notifications about future updates.
It didn't work anyway. I'm still being asked to install the update.
After a bit more investigation, it seems the original update may have been corrupted as I'm getting a message that system files or pre-installed software may have been altered or deleted and that the official update needs to be installed. Except it was the official update. Hisuite doesn't have the option to rollback the software to the previous version. So what can I do to put this right?

Yeah, but I didn't install any of those. I installed the official version through Hisuite.

Thanks but I just get "getting package info failed" when I try that.

Finally sorted. Connected to hisuite again and this time another firmware version (311) was available. So I installed that and when I rebooted there was another 4.7mb patch needed installed. I installed that and everything is back to normal now.

This happens when you install an incorrect firmware version on your phone. The firmware file names may be the same but they are not the same versions.

Touch screen not working after latest update

Hello,
I have upgraded my S20 FE 5G to the latest firmware version (G781BXXS5HWD4). But the right edge of the touch screen stopped working after that. I have also cleared Android system cache. Nothing is helping.
The screenshot is attached for reference.

Hi how are things,
the security patch is from april.
If you don't have a solution, download the March patch system.
It's the maximum you can download.
you are already binary 5
You are tied to android 13 without being able to go down to 12 or 11.
have a backup
First of all, you can do factory reset.
If it doesn't work, do what I said above.

I downgraded to G781BXXU5HWCH with factory reset. But the issue is still there.
I think it might be physical damage somehow. Thanks for the help anyways.

It mentions that it was after an update.
It wouldn't make sense to something physical.
but let us never doubt anything in this life.
wait for the May patch.
