How To Root All 2011 Xperia Devices (Unlocked Boot-loader)
Just thought I would tell you how to root your Xperia Play no matter what version of android your are on.
For this guide i will be using official firmware xx.xx.xx.62 which will be flashed via wotan.
You have many ways you can do this so i will give two.
Method 1 : Using a auto-root Kernel (doomlord, KeiranFTW)
After flashing your ROM.
Depending on your ROM, download a appopiate kernel with recovery and auto root. for this i will be using Doomlord's Advanced stock kernel.
Once downloaded extract to your fastboot folder (check my other guides for a small fastboot package)
Run fastboot.exe via cmd or use the run_me.bat file
Connect your phone to your computer while switched off and while the search (may be different for other devices) key is being pressed5. When Blue LED switches on type
Code:
fastboot flash boot FILENAME.img
where the file-name is the name of the downloaded file. e.g.
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
6. type in the below command
Code:
fastboot reboot
7. your phone should reboot and you should now have superuser and SU.
Method 2 : Using a Root Zip File
After flashing your ROM.
1. Firstly download this file Bootable ClockworkMod Recovery
2. Next download this file and copy it to your sdcard of your phone.
3. Using the fastboot package downloaded from a previous tutorial run the run_me.bat file
4. Put phone in fastboot mode.
3. Type in the following command
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
5. Then "install zip from sd card" on the phone
6. After installation is completed press "reboot phone"
7. Your phone should reboot and have Superuser and SU.
Enjoy your rooted phone,

Man, im not gay. But i love u. the man of a perfect tutorial
Hi, tnx for the tutorial, but 3 questions :
1. Will it work for .69 (or above)?
2. You wrote "after flashing your ROM", do I have to flash ROM? And how do I do that?
3. You wrote "... from previous tutorial", which tutorial?

Good questions.
Putting a custom ROM is after rooting it right? So why would i want to flash my ROM?
I am getting Error: cannot load recovery.img. i guess this has something to do with not having flashed my rom?

1. Yes but you will need a unlocked bootloader (information may be out of date as no longer own this phone)
2. No

1. you don't need root to install a new ROM just need recovery
2. Sounds like you don't have a unlocked bootloader.

hello guys this guide helps you to root your nexus 4 (4.3) and install custom recovery
things needed
1)superuser http://d-h.st/Hhw
2)twrp http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/mako/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.0.0-mako.img
3)andriod sdk (google it)
* [dont have sdk? then download this http://d-h.st/jCU a replacement for sdk/platformtools (this tools include stuff for windows,linux and mac too.)]
4)adb drivers installed (follow the below mentioned guide)
note:- this is almost same process as this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2018179 but just updated for 4.3 version
ROOTING process
1)I hope your boot loader is unlocked, if not first unlock it and then start the rooting process and turn on usb debugging (follow above mentioned guide for unlocking bootloader and to turn on usb debugging) after unlocking bootloader reboot device and then copy root.zip(links above) into your phones storage and then reboot to fastboot
2)now download the twrp recovery image and rename it to twrp and move it to sdk/platform tools. in the same directory(i.e platformtools directory) open cmd prompt(to open cmd prompt press shift+rightclick at the same time and select open cmd prmpt window option) and type (without quotes) "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" and thats it you have flashed twrp
3)now go to twrp (recovery mode) and flash the root.zip (that u copied to the phones storage earlier) and that's it u have obtained the root access.
im not responsible if u bricked your device do it at your own risk
follow this wonderful video if u have any problem or trouble http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jn5ih0omlxI

Hi,
I can suggest you some thing but i am not responsible if u bricked your device do it at your own risk
I had same issue " waiting for device" SO you need to install correct drivers for your device i can suggest you to download nexus 4 toolkit version 2 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1995688 and you need disconnect your nexus from usb and open your toolkit and you need :
1.choose option 13 "13. Android 4.2.2 [Build JDQ39]" (I know that your version is 4.3 but the drivers for PC is samething)
2.It will download drivers for your pc
3.Now choose option 1 that say " 1. Install Device Drivers on your PC [DO THIS FIRST] [UnPlug Device First] "
4. After driver installation you can close this tool and try again to flash your recovery like you did it before with (See above "ROOTING process")
Let me know if you succeed
Good luck
When I try to load the YT vid it says "invalid request"...
Oh its more than a vid. I am sorry in the android app it doesnt show the whole post for any reason.
And why download the whole sdk? Grab the platform tools from efrant's tutorial on how to flash a factory image. Then just place the desired recovery in the same directory and you can flash the recovery.

so it might not have recognized your adb drivers at the first time.or you could have just downloaded the nexus4toolkit by mrskip and installed adb from it. anyways did u root it?

Hi guys,

i have the same problem with "fastboot boot xxxx.img"!! both CWM and TWRP , return blank!
I actually found this today:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2380675
they say:
the new version of bootloader shipped with Android 4.3 factory image changed some of the "fastboot boot" command so you need to specify a kernel commandline to use "fastboot boot" command.

for Nexus 4, it's:

Yep it still works after reboot . no problem with that
As discovered in the Q&A post found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/help/root-t2886674/page2
Just like the first Moto X, users have been having success rooting by unlocking the bootloader and just flashing SuperSU with CWM. This is a test release so it may be wise just just boot to CWM to flash SuperSU instead of flash it. Use caution as always.
Bootloader Unlock Guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/general/guide-unlock-bootloader-moto-x-2014-t2876773
CWM Test 8: http://d-h.st/XJr
SuperSU flashable ZIP: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053
I can report that this did work for me and I have achieved root.
Steps I took:
1. Unlock bootloader using Motorola's website
2. boot to bootloader, flash or boot to recovery with fastboot command (fastboot flash recovery cwm.img/fastboot boot cwm.img) *There really isn't a reason to flash this. It is very broken. Consider keeping your original recovery!*
3. boot to cwm and flash superSU zip
4. CWM will prompt to fix root, choose YES
5. Rooted!
Almost everything besides flashing a zip is broken in this CWM release, don't expect to be able to backup with it.

I appreciate you posting this, could you by any chance post a little bit more detail on how to do the flash? Is it as simple as extracting the recovery image and flashing from ADB? How do you then flash SuperSU?

I added some basic steps to original post, use caution as this isn't the most secure way to root but it will do for now. If you need further help, you should probably wait for a safer method.

What are the gaps in security? When you say secure, do you mean safe as in not bricking the phone or security as in data is at risk, etc.?

the steps you listed are pretty much it. can't get any easier than that. exactly how it was on the previous MotoX. unlock bootloader, fastboot flash recovery .img. then just reboot to recovery and flash SuperSU zip. very straight forward.
edit: also, fix permissions shouldn't be required...

It was just mentioned in the original post, I guess it doesn't matter. And by not secure I mean that the CWM is a test release so I don't know what could go wrong.

yeah i'm still awaiting a device so i'm not 100% sure on the persmissions. the zip should do all the work for the user, though, via the update-binary.
btw thanks for posting.
Thanks for posting this, I suggested the guys in Q&A to do that. If anybody needs help, I made the process successfully back on Q&A (when they were testing the recovery)
If anyone notices the permissions making a difference let me know, I'm curious as to why everyone was saying it had to be done..

I apologize, I did not realize if you are just booting, you don't need the "recovery" part of that command. Glad it worked for you!
You mention that this version of CWM is limited to basically sideband loading and won't do backup. Do you happen to know where I can find a copy of CWM for the X 2014 that gives me shell access? I've already unlocked and rooted my phone, but busted my screen and want to back things up. I went to their rom manager page and can't find either version of the X. Would either a 6.0.5.1 or one of the Nexus ones work?

What are you trying to flash? Custom kernel? Stock boot.img?
Either the .img is corrupt/incompletely downloaded OR you have unlocked boot loader using unofficial method.
1. Download the boot.img and try again
2. If it still gives error, you do not have a proper bootloader unlock. Try flashing twrp that is confirmed working by you, to verify if bootloader is properly unlocked or not.

If you had spent enough time searching on xda, you would have got the solution. I posted a solution to this here http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-2-laser/help/unable-update-to-marshmallow-via-ota-t3389876 And the thread is marked "solved" which means it worked.
sziraqui said:
Apparently, your current recovery version does not match with your current firmware version. There are two possible workarounds-
1. Wipe system by executing "fastboot erase system" in fastboot mode. Then reflash latest official asus lollipop ROM. This will fix the recovery and firmware mismatch and you will then be able to flash MM via stock recovery.
2. If you are experienced with edit8ng updater-script, Extract all contents of MM ota. Open updater-script and remove all asserts and lines that say "abort". Then compress the contents again. (You can't edit without extracting coz zip is signed). Flash this modified ota zip via TWRP.
If you still can't flash it or you are unable to edit updater-script, pm me, I have downloaded the MM ROM, I will send you modified updater-script.
I can even convert this ota into .imgs so that you can flash directly via fastboot

sziraqui said:
alright, download the updater-script from attachment. Flash via TWRP.
Detailed instructions-
First extract entire ota zip. Delete the original updater-script.
Then extract "updater-script_modified.zip"
Copy the extracted "updater-script" to extracted ota at the right location. (META-INF/com/google/android)
Compress the ota files as a zip using 7zip or winrar. Compression level "normal" . DONT USE ANY ANDROID APP FOR COMPRESSING, USE WINDOWS/LINUX APP ONLY.

What are you trying to flash? Custom kernel? Stock boot.img?
Either the .img is corrupt/incompletely downloaded OR you have unlocked boot loader using unofficial method.
1. Download the boot.img and try again
2. If it still gives error, you do not have a proper bootloader unlock. Try flashing twrp that is confirmed working by you, to verify if bootloader is properly unlocked or not.

No network on any ROM (stock & LOS-based ROMs). I might have flashed the wrong baseband file, can someone please give me the baseband specifically for India? Baseband required - M8952_70030.25.03.62.01R ATHENE_INDIA_DSDS_CUST

I'm on RR Remix N and have TWRP 3.1.1 shreps for the recovery. I can flash RR without any issues but whenever I try flashing either a JX series ROM or a fully stock ROM, TWRP says 'Invalid Zip File Format'. I have access to both bootloader and recovery, everything else works fine. Can someone please guide me on what to do? Do I have to sideload the ROM via ADB? If so, please enlighten me about the procedure

Why not trying to reflash the twrp(may try another one from official website or of silesh nair on his thread).
I think you might have turn on md5 checksum or another this which keeps verifying the zip and no signature is found.
Reflashing is a good course as it do not erase any data of yours.

Try this and report. After installing wipe cache, dalvik.
If flashing recovery is problem, reflash stock rom w/ stock recovery n boot ans try again to flash twrp, might sovle the issue

Its power button followed by vol up, but hey that recovery ain't gonna help you. Im just saying you to reflash it as it will erase all the data of current twrp recovery which might interfere with another recovery(changes are negligible, but then too).
I gave you link to a 64-bit twrp made by dreamester and silesh nair. Try it and see if it works.
You can not flash stock ROM from TWRP or other custom recovery. You need a PC with Moto Drivers and fastboot tools installed. Then you have to flash the stock rom from fastboot (generally instructions are given inside rom zip in a file called 'flashfile.xml'). I can't say about flashing JX series ROM (maybe it needs you to be on stock first or something like that) but here are the files needed to install Motorola ADB and FASTBOOT drivers and ADB & FASTBOOT tools on windows pc:
https://firmware.center/software/Android/platform-tools/win/ and https://firmware.center/software/Motorola/

To get into stock recovery press VOLUME UP while pressing and holding POWER button but you can't flash custom ROM or wipe SYSTEM from there. For that purpose use Official latest TWRP recovery from their website.

I already have these installed! But when I run RDS and connect my phone in fastboot mode to the computer, RDS doesn't detect it in the program. I mean, the device doesn't show up in the boxes below. But when I run 'fastboot devices' in CMD I can see my device connected. And can you pleeease tell me how to flash ROMs through the stock recovery?

Stock recovery don't flash roms, thats why we use customs recovery. As he mentioned just flash the stock rom, enable usb debugging and oem unlocked. Just flash the files and again flash the recovery which ever suits you and thats it.
Note : take backup first as it wipes your internal storage.

I think reflashing the stock rom is the only thing to do. Read carefully whatever is written in that thread. And see if all the commands are properly exicuted.
I dont know any work around for sim as i have never had that issue. Tell me if its solved or not for just a bit of knowledge.
Edit : just for reference you are not using moto g4 play device, are you?
Standard ROM and recovery cannot be flashed by TWRP, only in fastboot mode.

Hmmmm, ok but are you sure what you do ? If you're not totally aware of the plus and cons of rooting yuor device, take time to read some infos before in my humble opinion.
But, here is a page which answer most of your questions and give you all the steps to do it correctly ::
https://www.xiaomiauthority.com/2019/11/download-magisk-20-1-zip-how-to-root-all-xiaomi.html
In short : download the magisk zip AND the magisk manager, put it on your phone or external sd storage, reboot in recovery, flash it as normal zip, reboot, install magisk manager if not automatically included, i don't remember and... done !

Redmi note 7 comes with a locked bootloader. You can't root with a locked bootloader.
You will need a computer to unlock bootloader and flash a custom recovery to root.

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to install TWRP on my redmi note 7, but when I have to access it by pressing the power button and the one on either nothing happens and the word "Redmi" remains or the basic recovery starts. What can I do? Some advice?

I think you sand me the wrong link, there is nothing about Orange Fox.
Thank you for your help:good:
It's because you have to flash first twrp THEN Ofox.
Here is the way i've done it, not saying it's THE way to do it but just the one worked for me : (IF ANYONE SEE AN ERROR, OF COURSE CORRECT ME !)
MAKE BACKUP
1 - unlock the bootloader
here better to remove PIN, fingerprint
2 - after unlocking the bootloader, go to fastboot mode by pressing vol down+power button (You need a PC with drivers and adb in order to flash twrp than flash the correct recovery for our device, orangefox)
3 - flash first TWRP THEN flash OrangeFox : https://forum.xda-developers.com/re.../official-orangefox-recovery-project-t3941822
4 - Manage Partitions/data/format/type YES -
5 - wipe cache data system and reboot to recovery (you have a message no system installed, something like that, just ignore)
6 - flash firmware just in case : stable V11.0.... https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/firmware/lavender/
7 - reboot to reco and flash rom
8 - wipa cache and dalvik
9 - reboot to system, wait, enjoy
TAKE TIME TO READ CARREFULLY ALL THE STEPS AND AVAILABLE POSTS. And just ask (kindly if possible) for help when needed
Ok thank you,
I will read it carefully ?

I think it's because of the unlocked bootloader. It doesn't affect the good state of your phone.
