[New] Xperia Z1 lollipop 5.1.1 - Xperia Z1 General

I've upgraded to lollipop 5.1.1
But the proplem was to root it
ALL I HAVE FOUND WAS
downgrade and build prerooted zip zip.. etc
But now you don't have to do that
So let's start​By rooting your device you will void warranty
1. do backup for your phone
IAM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE
2.download the the files we need... Links down
3.go to Setting>security>unknown sources .... And tick it
4. Setup king root and start it
You will notified that there is code in app trying to bypassing android security
Install it any way
5. When finish go to download folder and extract the second attachment to /sdcard/
6.download terminal emulator from here
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm
7. When install open it then get root permission
Code:
su
Then
Code:
sh /sdcard/mrw/root.sh
And you will have root with supersu
If you want to keep kingroot
Skip from step 5
Hit thank if that help you

Last time I tried it only works on 5.0.2 unless kingroot updated and now you can do 5.1.1 too

Confirmed
Tested and worked for Xperia z1 lollipop 5.1.1 fw. 368

Worked for me.

First link was deleted by google. I tried with the kingroot apk from their site, but it didn't work with that.
EDIT: strange, it did work over Mobile data but not over WiFi. I am now considering you my personal God.

already root with pre-root zip but i wanna try this method, can you mirror kingroot file? because i cant access that file , thanks in advanced.

When I try to put in sh /sdcard/mrw/root.sh it says that the directory doesn't exist. I know it does though. Should I rename my sd card to sdcard? or is there something I'm missing?

Are you using the internal memory, or the external one? If you are using the external, and extracted the zip file there, you need to enter the path on sdcard1. So it's: sh /sdcard1/mrw/root.sh

yes but if you have any knowledge about rooting, its easy to get rid of and replace it with SuperSU

Ah ok. I read SD card as SD card. Didn't realize he meant internal. I ran it, and it kept coming up with errors that kingroot stopped working. Is that what it is supposed to do? Also now that i have SU on it ( I assume) what next? do I need a specific rom for these? IE I have a telus phone so should I look for a international rom or can I flash any? LOL I am fairly new at Root, and only flashed an HTC M8 but not really sure how to go about the z1. Also is it safe to uninstall kingroot? Sorry and thanks.

[Q] Rooting official 2.3.5 wirelessly

Hello!
How can one root official 2.3.5 rom without connecting to usb and adb?
The goal is to install custom ICS on U8800 that has no usb port - completely broken and even not charging phone. No warranty and repair cost is close to actual phone cost. So repairing is not an option.
Wireless adb app requires root first - so it is not an option for me also.
Any help is appreciated - I need ISC because I need ipsec vpn which is npt available in gingerbread.
I am ready to test any operation you suggest - I don't fear to brick the phone, need no backups.
It's impossible. I have one USB broken u8800 and that's why I use cm7 (.32) on it.

There is nothing impossible I believe
Maybe we could find the trick - gingerbreak works on some roms - another fine exploit maybe.
I don't know - worth a try I think.
tranced1 I might have 1 possible solution for you. I've rooted my 2.3.5 some time ago and I've done a backup of boot.img.
I remember with froyo we could root it with boot.img "rooted". I bet this won't work on 2.3.5, but who knows right?
If you want to give it a try, I upload that boot.img for you.
EDIT: darn! Totally forgot you can't access bootloader directory without root & damaged usb port
Can't remember another way out... sorry

Gingerbreak and z4root doesn't work. Only solution is build your own exploit.

Is there any way to flash zip from stock recovery? I saw this root method for some samsung phones.
Does anybody know how to compile such .zip file?

compiling zip is easy. Your problem is that we don't know how to sign it correctly.

I believe that you can use terminal emulator and zergrush exploit to root the phone.
The automatic root methods basicaly push the needed files on /data/local change permissions etc... All can be done with linux commands which are available from a terminal emulator. So I don't think that you need the usb cable to root the device. You can try investigate the runme.bat file from doomlord's root method and give the commands manually after you have put the files from files directory on sdcard.

adb can access the phone as root user - from terminal file system is read-only, so even first step permission denied
Yes, you have right about that.
But, check this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1716068
the last post.
EDIT:
After reading the discription on first post of gingerbreak, I had another Idea.
Seems that gingerbreak uses sd card to temporary store the necessary for root files. So, maybe you can replace these files(and especially the exploit) whith those of doomlord's root app, before you press the root button, so to use the working zergrush exploit.
This is the B528 root bat script:
http://pastebin.ca/raw/2163499
@adb wait-for-device
@echo --- DEVICE FOUND
@echo --- reboot to bootloader
@adb reboot-bootloader
@echo --- flash the rooted bootimage
@fastboot boot boot.img
@echo --- reboot to nomal mode
@fastboot reboot
@echo --- wait for adb connect
@adb wait-for-device
@echo --- DEVICE FOUND
@adb remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

You're problem is in red... you have to flash the exploited boot image. The rest is just installing busybox, su and SuperUser.apk.
You have the stock recovery which allows you to flash .zip files, but they have to be signed correctly and I don't think that's possible.

To boot a different boot image, you have to use USB, atleast on fastboot.

Thanks for clues but seems there is no way - I cant execute exploit via ssh - permission denied I cant even chmod it.
Gingerbreak completely not working - no files created on sdcard.
Ι didn't find any other way on net. There are several discussions for this problem but not a solution. I think that the only way is to do it for an app. You can contact with the creator of gingerbreak or z4root to ask for it. Also I'll try to make an app myself, but my android developing knowledge is very basic, so don't count too much on this. If I have some kind of success I'll contact you via PM.
EDIT:
Try this mod, and if you are lucky...

No I am obviously not the lucky one
My android development knowledge is zero, so if you can run zergRush from executable area it will be a very good start.
And I want to thank everybody for your support.
So, it doesn't work?
I just updated the file, so give it another try.
Also, check if you have logcat and usb debuging enabled(is needed for other methods, so maybe needed here too)

Logcat: Cannot copy boomsh. : Permission Denied
I will revert to first beta now - and will test if it will work
I suppose this logat message is for z4root fail. Unfortunately I don't know what boomsh is. I just decompiled the apk and replaced the exploit, busybox, superuser, and su files with these from doomlord's root files directory.
So, easy solution didn't work. If I have something else I'll let you know.
EDIT:
I get some info about "cannot copy boomsh"
The exploit creates this file when run. This message appears when this file already exists and needed to be deleted from /data/local/tmp.
I checked z4root-mod on my device(which is already rooted and with ICS custom rom), and I get this message too.
The problem is that this file doesn't exist on my device, so I cannot delete it.
---------- Post added at 04:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:17 PM ----------
I read on a forum that these apps(as z4root) run better after a fresh boot. So, install the latest apk(has newer files), reboot the device and run z4root again.
z4root is a froyo root exploit (I think) and seems "dead" for a long time.

Using any file manager, goto System folder and edit the build.prop file.
Change ro.product.manufacturer to Baidu. Save the changes and reboot.
That should work.

This is my first post on xda, but I'm shadow thunder on htcmania the Spanish site, hope you enjoy this but I'm not a developer, so let's get started. You need to root your phone with Kingroot very easy after that just follow my step to replace Chinese root with Super Su. Let's start, here is a small script to remove Chinese kingruser, released by Mr.W0lf thanks for your great work. . This script will do all the work for you without using PC, just by terminat al, first of all, thanks to chainfire for his SuperSU files. download link to terminal emulator https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm&hl=en ok.Before starting :
POST UPDATE WITH PHOTOS OF MY WIFE XPERIA TABLET Z TODAY Y UPGRADE THE TABLET TO LOLLIPOP AND ROOT WORKS
Steps :Root the device with Kingroot, install terminal emulator unzip the zip change Kingroot to super su to internal storage of your device, the folder name is mrw
then Open Terminal emulator and type :
Su
Allow root permission
Type :
sh /sdcard/mrw/root.sh
It might display some error, at the end it will launch supersu or open supersu manually.
Update su binary normal, then REBOOT . JUST DOWNLOAD KINGROOT I PUT IT HERE IN ENGLISH
DONE YOU HAVE SUPER SU NOW WITHOUT BOOTLOOP THIS IS MY FIRST POST ON XDA SORRY IF IS NOT LIKE OTHER DEVELOPER BECAUSE I'M A ORDINARY GUY WHO LIKE TO MAKE THINGS EASIER AND HELP OTHERS IF YOU LIKE MY WORK ONLY HIT THE THANKS BUTTON
I put the zip with replace the kinguser for people who can't download from mefiafire
Nice work bro @edwuard.. Keep it up..
unable to update su binary? always failed.. is there sone workarounds?
Follow the steps bro, install Kingroot, root then install terminal and unzip the zip in phone internal memory the folder name is mrw and then type Su Allow root then type the sequence and then wait and supersu start and tell you to update binary and reboot it works great bro something u did wrong

You need to type this sequence sh /sdcard/mrw/root.sh if you cannot type it won't work is sh than space than / stop telling don't work because it works great and the super su open after the script did his job on terminal and open itself and tell the binary needs to update I don't know what you do because the binary after update them the phone reboot bro keep reading and then do it is very easy even a child make it is very easy
Really nice, work great, thanks you so much ^^
for some reason this didn't work the 1st time around, i had kingroot already installed from before, and it wouldn't update..
so i uninstalled SuperSU (which already removed Kingroot) and installed the Kingroot version in this Post (OP) and tried again...and it worked perfectly...
so for every one to be safe use the KingRoot APk in the attachment on the 1st post .
very good work...thanks m8...
i have a question though,,,can i update this to SuperSU pro???
Edit
Yes it can be updated to Pro.
Works fine! Thanx!!!
Great work mate!!!
@milocj by devSXSTeam
Works a treat and so simple!! Wicked stuff Dev!!
it works like a charm bro
the first time i tried, it was not worked as it suppose to be. kinguser notified that the service was in error or something like that. and i tried to reboot. (prev. I got original kingroot straight from the dev, not from the op's), i got bootloop
but i got 2nd chance, (after getting bootloop, i reflashed with the stock rom, without deleting any cache or data), after my deviced booted, i downloaded everything from attachment. and did what the op said, exactly. and it workssss
Thanks
addition,
btw. i lost my root access, how do i gain the access? do i have to install the kingroot again and root the device? i am a bit kind of new in rooting. as prev, i never played rooting before. i was scared. was...
oppsssssss...
my bad, i forgot to delete something, so i thought the root didn't work previously. so i can say this method works 100%
now, I got root access.. thanks OP
Let the post clean bro you have Q A to make questions about the root please any questions in Q A thread

[OREO] How to install Oreo Beta 3 on Samsung S8+ and not lose your data!

This is an updated guide for the Samsung S8+ (G955F) version for the new beta 3.
I thought I would put this guide out there as this was the easiest I found and the bonus is that you keep your data and just upgrade over the top.
All credit to jaron vdb from Telegram. This is his backup and he has given me permission to use it. He is the brains – I am just good at writing easy to use guides!
Pre-requisite:
-you need to have a working TWRP
-you need an external sd card
Steps:
1. Get into TWRP and backup your current rom to your external SD card. We will need this later to restore the data and importantly: if things go wrong you can always restore back again to what you have now.
Once it has been backed up you will have a folder on your external sd card that looks something like this:
Name of your External SD card/TWRP/BACKUPS/ce04873839487e8383/[the name of the file you just backed up in step 1]
2. Download this file and save it to your External SD CARD:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1wOl1fPK_9ffSxOcGg6IHvytCrHZ7yL-X
This is your TWRP restore file kindly provided by jaron vdb.
3. Once you have downloaded that file then you will need to unzip this file. Use something like 7zip from Playstore and extract that file you downloaded to this location you just created with Step 1 – something like:
External SD CARD/TWRP/BACKUPS/ce04873839487e8383/[the name of the file you just unzipped]
This is a very important step – you must extract the file you downloaded to this EXACT location.
4. Go here and download supersu 2.82SR5 to your external SD Card:
https://androidfilebox.com/app/supersu-root/
This is the only root version working at the moment – magisk does not work as of now. It is Supersu which works perfectly. It also has dm-verity on it so will allow you access to data in TWRP.
5. Ok we are ready to flash the Beta 2! Get into TWRP again
6. Hit the restore button and then go to your external SD Card and restore the file that you downloaded and had to extract. You will also see your other restore in there. Don’t touch that just yet.
7. Stay in TWRP and now go to Wipe and then go to Format Data and then type in yes
8. Stay in TWRP and now go to Restore and choose the first file you backed up in Step 1 – your original backed up ROM. Choose this file and then ONLY TICK data to install. Restore data.
9. Stay in TWRP and flash the supersu file you downloaded.
10. Reboot!
11. You now should be rebooted back into your original rom with the very smooth Beta 3 installed!
12. Now you have to make the fix so you don’t get a buttload of random reboots and Knox nonsense. Download Root Explorer or any build prop editor program from Playstore and change:
ro.config.tima=1 to ro.config.tima=0
and change Knox thingo to v30 like this:
ro.config.knox=v30
Mine was already on v30 but YMMV
13. Have a cup of tea.
Can confirm working on G955F
Did exactly as instructed and all is well so far
Thank you
Will these steps work if I'm on 7.0
Or are these only for people who have already upgraded to oreo b1 / b2?
Thanks in advance.
One more question, can I use it on G955FD?

Same as above. As long as you have a TWRP backup on the external sd then give it a try.

Ah tricky. You'd need a back up to be safe. Doesn't flashify have a backup option?
Yes.... who cares if i have to re root then beta 2 oreo
I tried with 955U, flashfire cant find the backup file for oreo beta. Only shows my own backup

Pretty sure you'll need twrp.
Confirm working on G955FD.
Toggle Network Type was not working but is OK after reboot.
However, AdAway is unable to download host files. Searching for solutions, will update if am successful in resolving the problem.
All other root apps I have are working perfectly.

Thanks for the suggestion.
hosts file location is still system/etc
Just needed to change hosts file permissions to rw-rw-rw- in root explorer and now its working fine.
What about beta 3 for the s8 (not plus)?

Hey, it's all ok dude..
I bet you didn't make a nandroid backup, if yes just restore it !
Not made a backup and rooted with superSU ?
Here on XDA find and try to use 'unSU.zip' file or simply click here. Flash it in recovery,
then if will work re-root the device with your favorite superuser app.
Hope your device will be newly usable.
Let the community know if all gone well...
P.S.: PM are ok but a post can be read by everyone, well done !
P.S.2: THX to @osm0sis for unSU script.
Cheers

I believe / sh is recoverable only with a backup made previously.
Now you probably need to re-install, even to prevent other possible problems, the entire system.
Save all your files you want to keep and
keep your bootloader unlock code handy (maybe you don't need it).
I can suggest which files to use...
You can still expect some tips from more experienced users ..
You decide.
Cheers
