how to make root on d2303?
I think people wants to make root without unlock bootloader.
So actually, there's no solution..... you must unloack your bootloader or wait
help
you must use towelroot to root your device

ok dude
have you tried frama root
Hi,
Big problem..... I've got a D2303, unlock bootloader is OK, CWM and supersu flashed.
Root is done on my system but, I'can't mount the system with read/write permission..... so, no busybox, no xposed.....
Titanium back up works very well (restoring my app right now)
Anybody got an idea of what happen ?
if this works for d2305? i want UBL and deodex it
have you try vroot?
vroot did not work

Any successful attempt?

Any app that accesses the system (busybox, exposed ect.) Must be flashed via recovery. This method works fine on my device. Although each time the recovery must be flashed and once the appropriate apps are flashed, must be the stock kernel flashed via flash tool again, but this is at the moment the only way to get a system with the appropriate apps and root privileges!
sorry for the bad english

Your post raised a few questions:
1. Did you root your D2303 running Android 4.4.2? How?
2. What recovery did you flash? Where did you find it? Did you use one dedicated to D2302 or D2305?
Many thanks for your clarifications

Hello again D:<
Another question (u_u. I've never had a Xperia smartphone before, so :c).
I don't know about how install the Generic Xperia M2 4.4.2 Firmware, well, I know something, like use Flashtool for mount the FTF file into the phone. But, about the TA Backup?.
I'm kinda unpredictable, so, summarizing everything... Could you please give a tutorial about those steps that I must follow to install the 4.4.2 Generic Firmware for Xperia D2306?
Thanks for everything.
Regards!

Thanks, so, I suppose will work fine the TA Backup from that link. I'll check it.
But, my Info Service from Bootloader allow or not says this: "Bootloader unlock allowed: No", so basing on that assumption, I don't think that Bootloader can be unlocked. So, I have the question about is it extremely necessary has the bootloader unlocked for flash the 4.4.2 Generic KitKat D2306 Model with Flashtool :c.
Thanks
You can flash ftf with locked bootloader.

But be careful, they only did kernel to D2303/D2305.

But, the kernel is only used for people who use ClockWorkMod Recovery for install ROM or Root with Unlocked Bootloader. I don't try to install ROM (CyanogenMod, that is based on D2303 model), neither Root with Unlocked Bootloader ('Cause I can't unlock bootloader). I'm gonna use Flashtool, and other comments says nothing about Kernel and ClockWorkMod Recovery.
Thanks either way :3.

Try flashmode method
First turn off your device then press volume down and connect usb your device will be detected as flash mode in flash tool then click unlock ? bootloader button ? and your bootloader will be unlocked ? then remove usb power on your device and then turn off again and press volume up and connect usb then in flash tool you will see device is connected as fastboot now. Try flashing your device. If it works then enjoy your unlocked ? device.

Unlocking bootloader doesn't mean rooting.
After you unlock bootloader, you can flash kernel with SU in ramdisk and root.
For now, there isn't any method for locked bootloader.
Btw has anybody tried this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
It worked fine on my 2011 (ehm) device, maybe works here too.

So if what I understood from that post is correct, I can flash a custom ROM but not a custom kernel.
Anybody knows a pre-rooted ROM for D2203?

i read about 5 pages and understood that your bootloader can,t be unlocked with custom bootloader it can be unlocked with doing something ta partition and ta partition can brick your device. so only touch ta if you know enough about them.(reading those forms gave me headache because deep system and codes that i don,t understand just that,s why i only read 5 pages i don,t know if thare is any more any good information)

All new device from Sony, can be rooted without unlocking the bootloader!!. We can not unlock the bootloader, we need a program that has xperia M2, and other devices. I can not believe that this is such a big problem!!

hello Guys,
ive got an M2 (D2303) sice 2 Weeks with Stock Lollipop 5.1.1
BL unlocked allowed = YES
But Sony dev says "Important note! In order to unlock your Xperia™ M2 you need to be on software version 18.3.C.0.37"
My M2 works with 18.6.A.0.182.
need to root the Phone for a Special App which Needs root permission.
Question, whats the way, if there is one, to unlock my Bootloader for rooting the device.
P.S. sorry for my "beginner-english" and many thanks to help me out!

You can root your phone without unlock the bootloader.
You can unlock the bootloader in Any versión (i did in lollipop) you can do it with Sony way or with flashtool
thanks for reply!
can you tell me what is the easiest way to root my M2 with Lollipop? how do you did it?
so the bootloader unlock is only need for flashing Custom-Roms?
Big thanks

The easiest way is in this case NOT the safest way! KingRoot should do the trick on 18.6.A.0.182 FW but it also sends your phones IMEI to a cloud in China. I wouldn't recommend it!
I did it like this:
1. Use XperiFirm to download and FlashTool to create (e.g.) D2303_18.3.1.C.1.17_CE.ftf [4.4.4 Kitkat] (or search on this forum for it)
2. Flash: (e.g.) D2303_18.3.1.C.1.17_CE.ftf with FlashTool
3. Unzip & use: rootkitXperia_20150926-20151005.zip to root
4. Unzip & use: XperiaM2-MultiRecovery-PhilZ-TWRP-CWM-0.8.zip to install multi-recovery
5. Use XperiFirm to download and FlashTool to create 18.6.A.0.182 FW FTF for your D2303, country and provider (or a customized version)
6. Use PRFCreator, UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip and XperiaM2-MultiRecovery-PhilZ-TWRP-CWM-0.8-flashable.zip to create flashable pre-rooted zip with multi-recovery
7. Reboot into TWRP recovery (when the cyan led glows push/press Volume UP)
8. Flash flashable pre-rooted zip with multi-recovery (using TWRP)
9. Flash zip: ric_disabler-flashable.zip in case you don't have full root access (using TWRP)
Before you begin make sure you have downloaded all needed files and made a backup from all your important phone data!
so the bootloader unlock is only need for flashing Custom-Roms?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That is correct. But please read this carefully before you want to unlock the bootloader!
Succes... and don't forget to click on the Thanks! button if you want to thank me.

Hello. I've been rooting and flashing roms on phones since 2014.. mainly the devices that are easy to root such as galaxy devices and nexus devices but I am confused with my xperia z3 which i just bought to play around with.
It's on stock android marshmallow 6.0.1 and I want to root it and flash lineage OS and xposed framework..
I dont know if I have to unlock the bootloader etc and what method to root.. I have looked all over the internet but most of the tutorials are a couple of years old and outdated which makes it confusing for me because I dont know what to install and what not to install.
If anyone could refer me to something helpful or tell me what to do that would be very much appriciated. Thanks.
first u need to dial *#*#7378423#*#*
go to service test and check is ther bootloader unlock status : no or yes
IF NO : u cannot install android 7 (N)
IF YES : U CAN UNLOCK THE BOOTLOADER EASILY WITH spflashtools
but if u are on bootloader unlock L : no
u can still root, install twrp, and xposed to your device,
easily find 'xperia z3 root noob' on google
open the link from XDA
follow the instruction
what i did is:
downgrade it to 4.4.4
then root reflash .291 (MM firmware) prerooted from xda too
that'all
How to do that sir ??
Here also a MM VERSION stock
Want to root a Z3 D6653
Can you help me how ?
Tnx
I have two questions too:
1) can I install an Android 6.0 rom without unlock the bootloader? I don't want to lose my DRM
2) If I want to change the recoery, do I need to unlock the bootloader? Can I install a different rom with the stock bootloader?

There is no other recovery than TWRP (not true on Android 4 and 5 since CWM also exists, but TWRP is still the best!)

Different ROM as in "stock ROM pre-rooted that has some apps replaced" ? Yes
But _not_ "ROM with different kernel compiled by some user", for that you need an UNlocked bootloader... see posts above
