You don't need to have root to apply this procedure. Your bootloader doesn't have to be unlocked.
This has been tested with SGP311, 10.6.A.0.454, Lollipop 5.0.2, Customized TW version, but it should work fine on any other customization of 10.6.A.0.454.
This procedure installs superSU root binaries and busybox on your system.
Requirements
1- Upgrade to Lollipop 5.0.2. Either flash an ftf using flashtool or if you are in a region where the update is available take the OTA. You can get the unmodified Customized TW version from here.
2- Make sure your PC can communicate with your tablet via adb.
The success of this method depends on following the procedure very carefully. So read the instructions and make sure you understand every step before you try it.
Procedure
1- Install and run Kingroot 4.0. You can google and download it or you can use the one in the attached zip file. When Kingroot runs it is all in Chinese, but basically you need to be connected to the internet for it to work. It will do its thing and show progress up to 100% after which you can exit the program. Now your phone is rooted. The following steps replaces the Kinguser with SuperSU.
2- Unzip the attached file in your adb directory and then open an adb terminal and make sure the PC can see your phone (you can check that by typing adb devices). Then type the following:
Code:
adb push su /data/local/tmp
adb push busybox /data/local/tmp
adb shell
3- In the shell that you get type the following and make sure you give the access permission when the tablet prompts you:
Code:
su
4- Continue by typing the following commands:
Code:
mount -o remount,rw /system
cat /data/local/tmp/su >/system/xbin/daemonsu && chmod 0755 /system/xbin/daemonsu
cat /data/local/tmp/busybox >/system/xbin/busybox && chmod 0755 /system/xbin/busybox
daemonsu -d &
The key is to keep this session running while you continue with the rest, so be careful with typos and monitor this window for any errors.
5- At this point, leave the adb terminal window running and go to your tablet, open the Kinguser app, open settings (the wheel at the top right corner of the screen), Root authorization setting, and Remove Root permission. The app may self-uninstall.
6- In any case, after this is done, uninstall the two or three remaining Kingroot apps that are still on your tablet (Kinguser, KingRoot, and the other one with the blue icon and Chinese text under it).
7- Back to the adb terminal, and type the following:
Code:
cat /data/local/tmp/su > /system/xbin/su && chmod 0755 /system/xbin/su
busybox chattr -ia /system/xbin/ku.sud
busybox chattr -ia /system/xbin/supolicy
busybox chattr -ia /system/xbin/pidof
rm /system/xbin/ku.sud
rm /system/xbin/supolicy
rm /system/xbin/pidof
rm /system/bin/debuggerd
mv /system/bin/debuggerd_real /system/bin/debuggerd
rm /system/bin/debuggerd64
busybox chattr -ia /system/bin/install-recovery.sh
busybox chattr -ia /system/bin/rt.sh
rm /system/bin/install-recovery.sh
rm /system/bin/rt.sh
busybox chattr -ia /system/bin/.usr/.ku
rm -rf /system/bin/.usr
rm /system/usr/icu/icusuflag.conf
busybox chattr -ia /system/usr/iku/isu
rm -rf /system/usr/iku
rm /system/kroot_*
rm /sdcard/kr-stock-conf
rm -rf /sdcard/Kingroot
rm -rf /data/data-lib/com.kingroot.RushRoot
rm -rf /data/data-lib/com.kingroot.kinguser
rm -rf /data/data-lib/king
Again, leave the adb terminal window running and go to your tablet.
8- Install superSU (from the attached file) on your phone, run it, and let it update the SU binary.
9- Reboot the tablet. After about 5 minutes your root is ready.

KingRoot is China's most popular one-click Android root tool, now translated in English and ready to serve you.
XDA Forum: KINGROOT: The One-Click Root Tool for Almost All Devices
Upgraded last night & was waiting for someone to post a guide. Thanks for the hard work! So happy to uninstall all of the built-in sony bloatware!
If I remember correctly after rooting the device all you have to do is install supersu and open it. It will prompt you to remove the Chinese root app and everything will be done automatically. Please correct me if this is not the case.
Thanks so much! Very easy to follow

Yes, I guess this method will work. I'd used kingroot before and SuperSU get rid of it. I haven't tried it in lollipop but i guess it will work.

King root 4 does not let you or supersu or anyone else remove or touch it unless you relinquish root privilege. Otherwise what would be the point of such a long post like this?!

@najoor :
Thanks - worked fine for me :good:
Thank you very much, works perfectly
Thanks a million bro.. works like a charm on Xperia Z 5.0.2!!
Wow , thats bro. Still expecting the lollipop for my c6603
What's wrong with just using King Root for root access instead of SuperSU?
Not working for me... tablet reboots on remount system as rw
Does this method work with SGP321?
Thank you for the tutorial. SuperSU works flawless on my SGP311.
Total time: 10 minutes :good:
I managed to root my Xperia Z (C6602) by following these instructions

I managed to ROOT & replace the KingRoot with my favorite root manager app SuperSU in my Xperia Z (C6602) running Android 5.0.2 (10.6.A.0.454) by following the above instructions. You are awesome man..
Thanks a lot.
I swapped Kingroot for superSU with your instructions, thank you.
But I have the same question, especially when there is an eglish version of Kingroot.

I heard many people facing random reeboot issue while any app requests su access and superSU works fine for them as a replacement.

[Q] Root 2.2 318 without ADBshell
Hi, a pin of my USB connector is broken so I cannot get a USB data connection to a PC (but charging still works ...). How can I root the official 318 build of froyo ? More specifically, in the new build, there doesn't seem to be any mounted filesystem on which one can copy RATC to run it. Any hint welcome.
Have you already tried superoneclick, androot, or z4root? If so, then maybe try the below. I don't know if this will work but you can try fard's instructions to root manually and use "Terminal Emulator" from Market instead of ADB SHELL, but i don't know what will happen when you run rageinthecage~ You will need to change the instruction a bit for your case. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=844966&highlight=rageagainstthecage Instructions: 1. Copy all the needed files (from fards thread) into the SDCARD. 2. run Terminal Emulator 3. cd /sdcard/ 4. busybox cp rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage 5. busybox cp Superuser.apk /data/local/tmp/Superuser.apk 6. busybox cp su /data/local/tmp/su 7. busybox cp busybox /data/local/tmp/busybox 8. chmod 700 /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage 9. chmod 700 /data/local/tmp/busybox 10. cd /data/local/tmp 11. ./rageagainstthecage 12.

Well... yes, I have tried all that. The main problem with the last option (i.e. CLI) is that the directory /data/local/tmp/ is not user writable (actually /data permissions are 751). So I was in search of a another directory (in an executable partition) where I can copy rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin. Finally found it : "find" was my friend. /firstboot/sqlite/jackpal.androidterm/ is owned by my user (ID 10123)! It's the only one I found in all the filesystems! Note that "find" is available through /system/bin/busybox_1P8P1. Btw /firstboot/sqlite/jackpal.androidterm/ seems to be linked to the terminal process. Ran rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin various times to no avail ! It didn't give me root!
installing su complete but nothing! 2.3.3 9023
hello After unlocking the bootloader then installing the recovery image then from the recovery image i install this file from sdcard su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip everything run smoothly and i get installation completed but then when i boot to the device, the Rom Manager tells that there is no su into /system/bin how to install su correctly ? i'm on ubuntu with Nexus S 9023 thank you
even market enabler app tell "we got a problem Huston" that means no root applied i've mounted the /system from recovery mode but nothing seem to activate the su help please
Do you have /system/app/Superuser.apk ? Otherwise I would try to flash the zip again from recovery.
no doing /adb shell ls /system/app/ i can't find the Superuser.apk there even i tried to flash the zip files 3 times and removed the superuser then installed it from market still not su
solved ok, now i fixed this problem extract the (su and Superuser.apk) from su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip to /sdcard Code: ./adb reboot bootloader then choose recovery mode then Code: ./adb shell Code: export PATH=$PATH:/system/bin cd /system/app cat /sdcard/Superuser.apk > Superuser.apk cd /system/bin cat /sdcard/su > su ln -s /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su chmod 06755 su
Need Some Help
So I'm on the Latest official 2.2.1 from Motorola/ATT, but I'm having some issues. My home button doesn't work at all and I can't get it to work despite my efforts. So I think I just need to do a factory reset and delete everything, I think my rooting and mods to my 2.1 soft ware may have messed everything up. Before I try this, will it delete all my text messages and stuff? or should I back them up with that SMS backup program? Also, i'm having a hard time rooting it with SuperOneClick, it fails to work completely so does anybody know exactly what commands I need to just root via my terminal?
nevermind I figured it out. Here are the commands if anybody is interested: ./adbmac push psneuter /data/local/tmp ./adbmac push su-v2 /data/local/tmp ./adbmac push busybox /data/local/tmp ./adbmac shell $ busybox chmod +x /data/local/tmp/psneuter $ /data/local/tmp/psneuter # exit $ exit ./adbmac remount ./adbmac shell # busybox mv /data/local/tmp/su-v2 /system/xbin/su # busybox chmod 6755 /system/xbin/su # busybox chown 0.2000 /system/xbin/su # busybox ln -s /system/xbin/su /system/bin/su # busybox cp /data/local/tmp/busybox /system/xbin # busybox chmod 0755 /system/xbin/busybox # busybox chown 0.2000 /system/xbin/busybox # exit $ exit ./adbmac install Superuser.apk ./adbmac reboot I copied pasted from somewhere else on this site

[ROOT][LB] Xperia Z (C6602) running Android 5.0.2 (10.6.A.0.454)
Hi Everyone, Recently I have updated my XZ to lollipop 5.0.2 and after updating the Root is lost. I have been struggling to Root the latest firmware and finally I managed to get it rooted. I am posting the instructions so that it might help anyone. I have a Locked Bootlaoder but it should also work with Unlocked Bootloader. This has been tested on Xperia Z C6602, Lollipop 5.0.2 (FW: 10.6.A.0.454) and I will not be responsible if you try it on other device and if you do not follow the instructions carefully and accidently mess up with your phone. Prerequisites 1. Upgrade to Lollipop 5.0.2. 2. Install drivers and configure ADB on your PC. 3. Enable USB debugging on your phone and Allow installation of apps from unknown sources under security settings. Read the instructions carefully before proceeding. Steps:- 1. Go to my google drive link and download the data.zip file. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1LQ910-5UYpNk5udEF4Qnd6T2M/view 2. Extract the contents into your working ADB directory (where adb.exe is located). 3. Connect your phone to PC via USB cable. 3. Copy KingRoot-4.1.0.249.apk file to your phone. Install the apk and run it. Make sure you are connected to internet as the KingRoot tool uses internet connection to download suitable exploit for your device on the go. After you run it, click Try Root option and let it complete till 100%. It will confirm that Rooting is successful. Now your phone is rooted. If you do not like KingRoot and KingUser (for any reason) and want to switch to SuperSU then follow these steps: 1. Make sure you have extracted all the apps from data.zip into ADB directory. Browse to your ADB directory, press & hold Shift Key on Keyboard then right click on empty space to open context menu and select Open command window here. In command windows, type “adb devices” without quotes. You should be able to see your device listed. Then type the following commands carefully in same order (copy paste is better way to prevent any typo ) adb push su /data/local/tmp adb push busybox /data/local/tmp adb shell 2. You will be taken to a shell prompt with $ sign. In the shell type the following commands and keep your eye on your phone, when prompted, give the access permission: su mount -o remount,rw /system cat /data/local/tmp/su >/system/xbin/daemonsu && chmod 0755 /system/xbin/daemonsu cat /data/local/tmp/busybox >/system/xbin/busybox && chmod 0755 /system/xbin/busybox daemonsu -d & Leave the command Window running and do not disconnect your phone while you continue with the rest of steps. 3. Open the KingUser app in your phone, open settings (at the top right corner) and click Root authorization setting and then Remove Root permission. The app will be uninstalled automatically. 4. Uninstall the other two remaining KingRoot apps from your phone (KingRoot and the other one with Chinese language and the blue icon). 5. Go back to the Command window running adb, and type the following commands: cat /data/local/tmp/su > /system/xbin/su && chmod 0755 /system/xbin/su busybox chattr -ia /system/xbin/ku.sud busybox chattr -ia /system/xbin/supolicy busybox chattr -ia /system/xbin/pidof rm /system/xbin/ku.sud rm /system/xbin/supolicy rm /system/xbin/pidof rm /system/bin/debuggerd rm /system/bin/debuggerd_real rm /system/bin/debuggerd64 busybox chattr -ia /system/bin/install-recovery.sh busybox chattr -ia /system/bin/rt.sh rm /system/bin/install-recovery.sh rm /system/bin/rt.sh busybox chattr -ia /system/bin/.usr/.ku rm -rf /system/bin/.usr rm /system/usr/icu/icusuflag.conf busybox chattr -ia /system/usr/iku/isu rm -rf /system/usr/iku rm /system/kroot_* rm /sdcard/kr-stock-conf rm -rf /sdcard/Kingroot Again leave this command window running and do not disconnect your phone. 6. Copy Superuser.apk file (from extracted data.zip folder) into phone’s sdcard. 7. Go to your phone and Install Superuser.apk, Run it and let it update the SU binary. 8. Reboot your phone and enjoy the ROOT access on your latest Android 5.0.2 Lollipop.
I have used King's Root to root my phone. My issue is random reboot whenever an app tires to get root access. And titanium backup is not able to backup (it keeps on saying insufficient storage on 20GB free storage area) or delete any app. Plus, I also get random reboot whenever an app having root access is updated over Play Store. And from random reboot it reboots some times and sometimes it doesn't reboot. So, if anyone having same issue kindly ping back. (I will post update after reflashing the ftf)

Click to collapse To deal with random reboot issue, I would suggest you to replace KingUser app with SuperSU as described above. For TitaniumBackup issue, try this: Open TitaniumBackup, Go to MENU -- Preferences -- Backup folder location. You will see Storage provider: (Click to change) and you will see multiple option of storage providers. Select second option DocumentProvider Storage and then click on SD Card option and at the bottom of screen you will see select "SD Card". Click on this option. It is important that you do not select any folder inside SD Card, you only have to select the SD Card option. Now select <<Create a new folder>> and then select USE THE CURRENT FOLDER. To make it more clear, I have attached the snapshots, please go through snapshots one by one and you will be able to fix insufficient free storage error in TB.

SurenderK said: Hi Everyone, Recently I have updated my XZ to lollipop 5.0.2 and after updating the Root is lost. I have been struggling to Root the latest firmware and finally I managed to get it rooted. I am posting the instructions so that it might help anyone.

Sadly my phone reboots as soon as I get to the point where I mount /system ("mount -o remount,rw /system" ). Probably caused by RIC, any suggestions on how to avoid this?

Anyone tryed on c6603?
hey surrenderk, i did the mistake of following this tutorial and literally copy pasted everything despite not having a sony, but an infinix hot note, just because i wanted to remove kinguser and kingroot and have superuser as the dedfault application for handling root access. any way to reverse everything we just did, coz i cant update via ota?? shell commands to undo everything perhaps that affected the "system" folder or that affected normal working of device??thanks!!

Hey surrenderk yep, the problem is that somehow, I can't see any Ota update. It's says it's up to date, while I know there's an upgrade. In the steps we did, did we in any way change anything related to that?? I was already rooted, and had kinguser, and used kingroot. Whenever an Ota update came I could just unroot, perform the update then root again, easy. However since I followed your tutorial steps with the adb shell, I received an Ota update, and did the unroot as usual, but the system found several files failing the root integrity tests, thus failing to update. My questions are 1.all these rm commands we used, did we remove/delete any core essential android file from the system folder? Bin folder? (debuggered /real/64) kroot_*, iku, kr-stock-conf, icusuflag.conf, 2.what do the rt.sh and install-recovery.sh scripts do? My phone had become unstable, and could not play videos well nor audio files, it kept stuttering like it's buffering from an online Stream. Anyways, I am now unrooted and did a factory reset which fixed the video/audio glitch but still cannot "see" any new update although it's there. I just want want that update.
