I support the initiative and I am willing to help/assist and donate.
D2303 model
4.4.2 build 18.3.C.0.37
Unlocked bootloader (waiting for a suitable recovery).
The objective would include:
1/ a compatible recovery;
2/ a system partition which could be r/w mounted to allow a busybox to be installed;
3/ an effective root method.
Let me know how to proceed further
If only we two are interested, then it would not make much sense.
I´m doing this on locked bootloader.
In locked bootloader I did the following for root in KitKat:
1.-Install firmware for flahstool Jelly Bean
Rooting 2.- in the firmware with towelroot
3. Install superuser apk
4.-Go to the center and wait for the OTA update KitKat or press update the System tab in the center of upgrade.
Choose 5.- download the update
6.-Wait for it to download, install and select the phone will restart automatically.
7-Waiting to start just
8-Go to SuperSU
9-Install an app that requires root and verify that the root still works.

Can you confirm you have full root, not the 50 % root with system r/w protection?

still not working on kitkat 4.4.2 bro
@Bin4ry @DooMLoRD kitkat root 4.4.2 Update please
From the towelroot thread:
"..towelroot used a specific vulnerability in kernels dated before June 3. If your kernel is dated after June 3, the vulnerability has been patched and there is nothing GeoHot can "fix" to make towelroot work on your device.."

Looks like the kernel for the M2 KitKat update has this fixed. Too bad; might stay on 4.3 Jelly Bean for a while. I just can't give up root access and Xposed Framework.

Downgrade Your M2 to 4.3 JB, do root method like Root For 4.3 JB. Flash FTF Kitkat with exclude Kernel.sin & Loader.sin. Very Important!! Don't do Wipe Cache & Data!! Then reboot to homescreen you will get Root!! You can find how to fix mount system here

Which part of this makes it impossible to use it on a locked bootloader? Also, I don't seem to be able to untick flashing of loader.sin in flashtool. Did you mean remove it from .ftf?
Hello,
Does the author of this method root KK, may explain how he was able to make a flash FTF KK (18.3.C.0.37) without kernel.sin and loader.sin ????
Me after this operation the phone at all is not "wake"
Please write exactly step by step how this done.
A loader.sin and kernel.sin I was able to remove the FTF using rar
Because I do not see the possibility of removing loader.sin by flashtool.
Also, this method presented here, unfortunately, did not work.
Back to JB.
In spite of everything thank you to the author's guide to root for the KK .
Regards.
*Written by Google Translate
This is what I'm getting as well. I thought it was because of the bootloader, but yours is unlocked so... The instructions for KK are clearly unclear (no pun intended)
i make easy root for all xpreia M2.
but i need cwm for install this.
any body have cwm or kernel with cwm for kitkat???????

AFAIK, I don't think there is cwm for KK...
also, does this allow us to mount R/W?
so is your root for unlocked bootloaders only ,or for all ,and have you tested it .alinolaw71

Xperia M2 D3203 Locked Bootloader
You need to unlock your bootloader.... And make sure you have the drivers installed.... Drivers are in the flashtool folder
Can't use OTA
Everytime I try to use OTA, it says my ROM is not supported, neither does the kernel... I flashed JB 4.3 with a stock rom i found on this forum. My device is a D2306
[ASK]
You Say " Update via OTA to KK 4.4.4 or KK 4.4.2 whatever you need ( 4.4.4 recommended ) ". Whether the phone still rooted after the update KK via OTA?
When you say OTA - do you mean literally Over the Air when my phone prompts or via some other app/program?
I searched the play store for OTA and there are now lots of apps i dont need installed!
Also, why does the Root not get overwritten by my upgrade back to 4.4.4?
Thanks
No need to unlock bootloader. Also no need to update via OTA. Download ftf just in case which you can flash any time you want.
I have one question
I have jb 4.3 on d2303, i rooted it with towerlroot. So, can i upgrade my phone to 4.4.4 with ftf file on flashtool without loosing root privileges?
I successfully rooted my D2303 using the OT method. Now i have a rooted 4.4.4, with installed and working apps like greenify, link2SD amd app ops. Supersu(latest ifrom play store) is installed and working, but it asks me to update binaries and if I do so, im loosing the root and have to use fashtool to force root again. Any advice, as I'm new to rooting. Thanks!
It's not work
I try root my Sony m2 dual phone without unlock the boot loader but its not work ..
I downgrade to 4.3 and try to root its not work

Just to awnser my own question - after updating SuperSU to the latest (as of now) 2.46 version and updating its binaries, you need to run Sony RIC Killer to gain /system -rw permissions again. After that it works perfectly!

I know this way works flawlessly, used it myself several times.. You must be doing something wrong somewhere fella. Don't try to update supersu binaries till you have forced root with flashtool. Then mount system r/w, I personally think this is the easiest way to root the M2 if your new at this

hello,i'm new in this forum, and i wanna know if the root it's working on 2306, Version 18.3.1.C.1.15?
How to get root on 5.02 stock firmwares Tab 4 10.1 SM-T530-535 without tripping knox .
(Without losing the guarantee, through the downgrade on 4.4.2, Knox 0x0)
Just get root on 5.02 is not possible. For this purpose it is necessary to downgrade to the 4.4.2 firmware. Downgrade it is very simple with service firmware http://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-4/general/kklp-service-firmwares-sm-t530-sm-t531-t3158803 . You flash your bootloader and modem from service firmware and usual Home 1-file firmware via Odin . After flash do factory reset in recovery . Important: When you do this you erase internal memory, so if you need to make a copy of the data in advance.
All you have clean 4.4.2. Now you can get root with the help of Towelroot by method replacing the kernel , as here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57881047&postcount=174 and here http://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-4/general/root-galaxy-tab-4-10-1-sm-t530-t3028117 , suitable for all Tab 4 10.1 . After getting root you can begin to return to 5.02. To do this, you need to download to the memory card stock firmware 5.02 , install Triangle Away http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/orig-development/2014-01-15-triangleaway-v3-26-t1494114 and Flashfire (latest version) http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/paid-software/flashfire-t3075433 . First, run and do Triangle Away reset. Then you run Flashfire and press in the lower right corner of the circle with a +. Then click on the circle Flash firmware package and specify the path to the downloaded and unpacked firmware. After a successful startup menu appears. Do not touch it, just click at the top of the bird. Next, we need to change the default Reboot to Download mode. Everything's all settings. Now press the FLASH and wait for the end of the process. After you get into download mode. Connecting to a PC and run Odin 3.10.6 (preferably). Here we need to flash bootloader and modem from firmware 5.02 twice. This is all . You have 5.02 firmware with root and Knox counter 0x0 .
Bootloader and modem can be taken from the service firmware ( link above )
Owners SM-T530 can to use my files bootloader and modem from here for 4.4.2 and 5.02

Screenshots
Some files for 4.4.2
Towelroot and all kernels for downloading . New kernel from last updates 4.4.2 stock firmwares . Your 4.4.2 firmware must be the same as the new kernel when you will do downgrade .

Writing to an old thread I know...
I did not see any service file for T30NU KK only LP. I recently bought a used tab off a major website in order to learn about the Android OS and restore the tab. Looks like the issue is something with the update from KK to LP in which the wifi and BT no longer work. Stock firmwares are not booting only custom ones which is how I know about the connectivity issues.
Thread for my progress is here... I've learned a lot and continue to post updates on it.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ta...xy-tab-4-10-1-sm-t530nu-t3441044#post74755443
Two questions:
Is there a service file for T530NU KK?
Can root for these tablets be done the easy way now - flash TWRP via Odin then install SU via TWRP?

The idea is to root before unlocking the bootloader .. for backup TA partition if you want your DRM key back.
If you have unlock the bootloader install FOTA TWRP and you can root with (FOTA) TWRP (reboot in TWRP and a message will appear) and install Super Su. Or flash any stock or custom pre-rooted ROM with (FOTA) TWRP.

YES,
if you downgrade zperia x5 and flash pre rooted android 5.1.1 then it is possible
however pre rooted version were created by using prf creators which couldn't support android 6.x.x and later.
p/s I never tried pre rooted xperia stockrom
also if you don't want to use prerooted stockrom of android 5.1.
simply try rooting it with kingroot.
till android 5.1, kingroot were able to find xploit in the system

Thank you.
But as i understanded , this create a rom as a zip file , so it will need recovery to be flashed.
And you can't install the recovery until your phone is rooted or unlocked bootloader.
So you can't root without unlocking the bootloader.
So do you mean that first i need to root my device with an old software , then update to pre rooted software via recovery?
If yes , then please let me know how to root old software and which version.

again now we have go back in times where xploits were available, during kitkat days everyone had rooted phones since android was not using dmvarity. you could root kitkat easily on locked bootloader and have XDR installed while running andoir 4.4.4 ( i did with my C6602) once you had XDR install (xperia dual recovery) you can reboot your mobile into recovery and can flash pre rooted LP.
now this is GOOD for old days and for information
for you xperia z5 never actually landed on kitkat and LP can be rooted via kingroot. so you will be only able to use rooted z5 on LP only~!
if you wana install prerooted rom without kingroot you will have to first root running LP via kingroot, install xdr and flash again LP (clean flashing)
so on looked bootloader you dn't have much options!
