Go to page one on the link, and it has the instructions.
Hey guys, it does work! With some tweaking. Its maybe like a 4 click method. I used the z1c method. Uninstall the APK from your phone and follow the directions on this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53459243
Take the APK file that is not installed and move it over to your pc. The file you extract will have a folder called files, put the TR.APK file there. Make sure towelroot is not installed on your phone before you do this.
Now all you have to do is run the install.bat file and follow directions. Do not press your keyboard till your phone screen is black and you seen the sony logo.
It does work, and I'm so happy!
Doesn't work on z1s.

Once you have root, install a recovery and flash a SuperSU.zip
Then goto options in recovery and choose to check/fix root on system reboot
reboot and fix root.
Done.

That's not the case.
Updating the binary from the play store app is awkward. I also flash the .zip then choose to fix the root in recovery. That then allows it to be updated.

As indicated in the original Towelroot thread, the SuperSU from Play Store hasn't been updated yet and may not work well with Towelroot. You need the latest version from ChainFire's website http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu
ok so just to clarify
you need to install the apk using PC connected to phone using adb - is that correct

Hey all,
So I've managed to upgrade to FW 4, Doom's latest kernel, & Doom's autoroot also. Thanks Doom
I still can't seem to get root working. When I go in to Superuser to try to update, I get the following:
su-2.3.1-bin-signed.zip
reboot into recovery and flash it
I can't reboot into recovery (not sw cuz it's not rooted, hitting back key when powering on ignores me).
Anyone else know what I could try?
If you flashed to 4.0 first, then autoroot, then use kernel you will keep root and data.

Logseman told me to flash 4, kernel, then autoroot. Is this the wrong order? Have I lost my chance to root until Doom releases a new kernel?

If you have superuser you are rooted, if your using doomlords kernel there is no need to auto root as it comes with root. you dont need to update the app just the binaries, but you have the latest version with doomlords kernel so an update is not needed
worst comes to the worst, connect your device to flashtool and hit root

Thanks for taking the time to reply.
I agree, def still rooted because i can delete sys apps through root explorer. I can't get Titanium to run - it reports I'm not rooted. Their "problems" link me to update Superuser but it compains re my 1st post that it can't update.
I uninstalled su, new install is 2.3.6.3 but it still refuses the update. Why I can't get into safe mode by hitting the back key on boot is strange too.
Don't know how to run Root from Flashtool, it's greyed out & sounds like I might lose data?
More idea's welcome

Hi, i recently rooted my Nexus 4 on 4.4.3 and i am experiencing some issues :
After installing the driver, and successfully unlocked the bootloader via Fastboot, i then installed ClockworkMod 6.0.2.3,
and then installed SuperSU 0.99 and tried to upgrade the binaries with SuperSU 1.99
When launching SuperSU, it tells me that my binaries aren't up to date and that i have to re-root my Nexus manually.
What should i try next ? Thanks in advance for your help.
Setup :
Nexus 4 16GB Black
Android 4.4.3

Hi, thank you for your answer.
I downloaded and flashed the SuperSU in the link you mentioned above, but that didn't make any difference. I heard SuperSU was supposed to take over on boot and ask for something, but my phone boots up just like it usually does, and when i try to open SuperSU, it tells me "there is no su binary installed and supersu cannot install it. this is a problem". Anybody knows what's next ? I'm completely lost ahah. Thanks again everyone for your help.

Man, you're having a heck of a time with this. It shouldn't be this hard. I had something similar a while back and I think I had to reflash the factory image and start all over again. not sure if you want to go that far as it will wipe the entire device

Hello,
I just wanted to share how I have rooted my device today, and it was way easier than the methods I have been reading about so far.
My device: Xperia Z2 , C6543.
How I did it:
1- I updated my flashtool to the latest version, downloaded the 7.1.2.A.0.314 ftf for my region and flashed like instructed in the post. (Note that If you don't have flashtool installed, you have to go inside it's drivers folder and install the Z2 driver so it can communicate to the phone).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2759934
2- After the downgrade to the 7.1.2.A.0.314 version mentioned above, I went to the flashtool menu (My 65XX -> Root -> Force towelroot)
When prompted to, I have choosen the SuperSU option.
Then the towelroot app showed in the phone's screen, I've tapped on "make it rain" and let it run.
After that the phone restarted and it was rooted.
3. Okay, now that the 7.1.2.A.0.314 is rooted, an OTA update notification showed up to update to the same version (lol). Well, I just let it update, and the root was there (I confirmed by restoring some data in titanium backup).
4. After that, another OTA update showed up to update to 23.0.1.A.0.167. Again, I let it download and install.
Well, that's what it took for me to root my z2 in it's latest version with only one downgrade and no manual adb commands, no manual rootkit downloads, pretty similar to the way I've always rooted my ZQ (R.I.P - it drowned lol).
The credits are due to the hard-working people who made all the mentioned tools, I am only doing my part by sharing an easier method than what i've seen around. Feel free to share your toughts.
Laters!
Sorry to be noob! Will it break anything like camera x reality or anything? And for warranty, can I claim it by just unrooting it(it's in the su) ?
Did not break anything for me. Now I can use foldermount and transfer heavy apps to the external sd. Wonderful. As for the warranty, since there is no recovery installed and no bootloader unlocked, it is as easy as doing the step 1 in the procedure described. It will flash the unrooted system back.
But ist same method, if u use this or this tool.
This post doesnt deserve an original development section!
thanks. I will follow this guide as i had root, upgraded and lost it. But i've have been itching to flash stuff lol.

I am not sure I understand what you mean, but if you are talking about the xperiarootkit compared to the "force towelroot" from flashtool, I checked the scripts in advance and they seem to be the same thing yes. The only shortcut to what I did was not having to flash recovery, and creating customized ftf, etc.

not before applying the OTA. Perhaps that would have helped. I have the app installed, but it says the binaries are not installed, to consult the forums for re-rooting

I think you have to do all the stuff one again and root device. Then check the option for its root survival and do ota updates. I think you'll be fine with the updates.
Question, /System RW? (don't confuse it with a TA Restore, as it could only be restoring to the /Data partition).

I doubt you'll have system RW access as sony ric should still be running, but if root is working fine flashing nut's recovery should fix this easily.

Nice one thanks for the info worked well and updated to .167 ota and kept root.
Going to give this a try. Thanks
Thanks for the info, OP.
I used flashtool to downgrade my D6503 to .55, tried to use towelroot, no luck. used the CVE root exploit and got root, but after that update center failed the verification to .314.
Your method works, so cheers!

flashtool will wipe your phone unless you unselect data partition (not recommended). The rooting part is non-destructive so no that part won't your phone.

Tried to install nut's recovery with supersu option but all the apks in the script could not be written into system folder. Also could not install xposed installer. May have to downgrade again and avoid this method
update: no need to downgrade again. sony_ric prevents r/w to system folder even with root, so I just used ric killer by forty two: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/general/4-4-4-sony-ric-killer-t2953141
afterward I was able to install xposed installer via normal method.
Thank you for the tutorial. It worked fine for me.
What will happen if I do a factory reset via settings-menu? Will root be gone? Do I have to downgrade again or can I install SuperSU to get root back?

Updated CF-autoroot with latest Supersu binaries and combined TWRP recovery for SM-T800/SM-T805/T700/T705 Exynos only, Lollipop and Kitkat
I've noticed that quite a number of people seeking to root their device also flash TWRP afterwards, seeing as it's unnecessary to do both steps I have made an all in one package to root and install TWRP recovery.
Cf-autoroot has been updated with the latest Supersu binaries and TWRP has been updated with my fixed version (ADB root shell and Download mode fixes).
UPDATE - I have updated all versions with new builds. TWRP is now v2.8.6.2 and now includes the fixes recently pushed to their repo for encrypted backups. I have also addressed the slow wipe issue, cache, system, etc., which some have experienced and should now be much quicker.
Each device now has it's own build, this is to ensure that TWRP recovery build properties reflect the device it's installed on. ROMs such as CM12 should now install without issue.
Feedback is welcome.
Simply flash with ODIN. Odin 10.6

UPDATED TWRP:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3074633
NOTE: It is important to boot to recovery after flashing or twrp may not stick and will be replaced with stock recovery.
When flashing uncheck auto reboot in Odin, immediately after flashing manually reboot and boot into twrp.
Manual reboot is POWER + HOME +VOL DOWN then as soon as the screen goes blank immediately change to VOL UP whilst still holding the other buttons.

Just tried TWRP, and it is allowed.

Use Root Validator and post the output. Root checker doesn't give enough information.

Looks like you are rooted but are not granting root permission when asked.
Is the post below any solution to your problem?

If you still have problems you could open the Super su app and change in settings to 'Grant' root access by default.

Step no 3 my favorite step, How to root phone ?
3) We will root htc u play with the help of Magisk . just download the Magisk.apk and Go in file manager, if you don't have file manager simply download from playstore just typing "FX File". anyways Find the Magisk.apk file in file manager and change the extension .apk to .zip file format. if you done it . boot your phone in twrp recovery and click on "install" select the Magisk.zip file in your downloads folder and install it. and reboot your phone.
