KitKat Root Locked Bootloader - Sony Xperia M2

Hi guys, i managed to get my xperia M2 (D2303) root (rw /system too) with locked bootloader and kitkat (18.3.C.0.40). I don't know how did this method work, but i will explain what i did.
1. Flash stock JB and root with towelroot
2. Install SuperSU
3. Upgrade to KitKat via OTA. Now you are root without rw /system permission.
(4. Download Easyroot tool (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2784900))
(5. Edit the install.bat file removing the "adb shell "/data/local/tmp/towelzxperia_ert"" line)
You can download the edited file here http://d-h.st/3fy
6. Follow the instructions in the Easyroot tool thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2784900)
7. Install SuperSU in /System. You can do this in the Menu of SuperSU.
8. Now you're root with rw /System permission.
This worked for me, and i could install Xposed framework, gravity box, busybox...
You can try this and tell if this works for everyone or if i've been lucky. I think i didn't forgot any step.
Sorry for the bad english, but i think that everyone will understand it.

Works Great on D2306 (18.3.C.0.37)
Now i have KitKat with root in Locked bootloader
Thanks Engineer91!

Is it neccesary to update via FOTA? I'd preferably flash the ftf using Flashtool, without wiping anything, as I have already downloaded it.. Thanks, great post, will try tomorrow

I think that if you updated with Flashtool you'll lose root and via ota it stays.

question, if you flash with flashtool and uncheck data wipe, won't it have the same effect as FOTA and preserve root

Great so do we really need to unlock our bootloader now? If I'll get root by your method, would I be able to install custom ROMs on my phone or?

Hi,
are you able to use shell commands again when you re-lock the bootloader?
What did you mean with busybox and be cautios. Should we remove root account before unlock the bootloader?

Nah I even tried relocking the bootloader but still no luck :/ and yes its better you remove the root cause the phone automatically gets factory reset so it becomes a disaster :/ i still got my super su app with me yet no root and I cannot even remove it cause its a system app :/
Anyways might be that I did something wrong XD

Yeah saw them but i need to download additional 8gb data for that :/ and the phone also requires root access :/
After unlocking the bootloader, did you try just to re-root it with the original root method for the U8825-1? As far as I know this only flashes a small part of the kernel that allows adb root access.
Yes I did try but failed... :/ I tried all heck of stuffs like even instaling the italian firmware :/ but failed in that too...

I cant try cause my phone is not rootable any more and i will have to go to a service centre and get my phone flashed :/ hopefully that could mean that there will be one more firmware file uploaded anyways best of luck if your going to try i will also try but it will take some time...
i will try when i get my unlockbootloader code

Hi,
you rooted the device before unlocking the bootloader? Are you able to "unroot" your device with unlockroot3 even it's not rooted at this time?
Maybe busybox will be removed with unroot?
Thanks

Yes my device was rooted. Yes i tried unrooting but it fails as shell commands cant be run. Yes busy box was removed and I think that its the main cause of the problem. I tried making a flashable zip file using the previous System dump but failed to very signature :/

Well, its a matter of hit and try..!! You could try it and see if it works. I don't think that the rooting script is chipset specific. But it maybe that as well. We don't get Qmobile here in India, so don't know the specifics. It might work or it might fail. At most the phone won't and you will be stuck on bootscreen. You can get that fixed at the service centre if its in warranty (don't tell them you tried rooting.)

I should work. I have tested this on many more devices ( I will add of those in a while though) You should try it again. And also it dosen't matter where you live.
it says device not found
well sir i gave it another try. all was going on well. in the end it said "error : device not found "
and not rooted.
anyway thanks for quick reply sir
regards
Do one thing and see if su is there. If it is then remove it along with root (there is and option in settings of su) and then re-root it. While in the the process of rooting, don't touch anything on your phone or pc. And I hope this time you are able to root it!
Also confirm if it works and what device you used.

First check with root checker and ota voodoo to see if there is any tick in the boxes. If not try to install SU and see it it works out.
If not then,
1. Download busybox https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox (Only the app and not busybox)
2. Root with motochopper
3. If exploit dosen't show any error, INSTALL busybox from the app and then check SU
I tested both the exploits on Xperia SP. Gave me an error in the explot a few times but worked out though. It also gave me an error that it is not rooted even after i got no error in the exploit. Just had to install busybox and voila it worked

Actually, it's just the drivers which should be installed. In Win7, they are automatically installed but they take some time as they are downloaded and installed. So that's why the rooting is stuck at that point as the drivers are still being installed in the background.

I agree, his question is not clear at all. I initially thought he wanted a flashable zip in order to downgrade, which would be pointless.....
.zip
any .zip file , i mean any .zip firmware included the ftf and recovery and supersu. to flash it and work
Have you already installed a recovery? Which firmware do you want included?

Wait, don't install recovery. You'll install recovery at the end when you're at 4.4.4. Just flash kitkat 4.4.4 or update it via ota as you like and follow this tutorial to root it with full permissions. After everything is done install the recovery. But be careful read my full instructions on how to flash in 4.4+.

Good job.
Yes, it can boot to recovery on all stock roms 4.4.2 - 4.4.3
Yes, it can flash stock flashable zip kernels, but on latest firmware, especially KK 4.4.4 all my attempts with 18.3.1.C.0.21 failed with boot loops.
I'm not very surprised because this recovery is a good old repacked CWM-Based Recovery 6.0.4.6 by DooMLoRD, and it is made for Unlocked Bootloader.
If we want to have a full functional CWM,PhilZ Touch or TWRP recovery for locked BL on Xperia M2, we need a solution like XZDualRecovery by NUT.
Anyway, thanks for your work.
Can you upload a kernel for 4.4.2 please ?
While installing CWM by terminal emulator it shows
"E:invalid command argument
E:Cant Open /tmp/recovery.log"
Code i used was
Su
Recovery -update_package=/sdcard/recovery.img
I hav done by teminal coz my volume buttons are not working so.for up-down navigation volume buttons are needed bt its not working so i tried with code bt its showing me error. And while flashing in rom install it shows "Error:cant locate recovery partion"
Please help for install zip of cwm without volume button.
Please giv me solution
Please help me.

Glad to hear that.
Bootloader is locked. Phone is rooted. The .exe file worked properly and all the files are where they should be on the phone but still impossible to get into Recovery.
Phone turns on, Blue light turns on, trying pressing, tapping and holding but the phone never vibrates and just continue the boot like I've done nothing.
Please help

Due to unlocked bootloader you can not update via update center, only you can update apps like walkman etc,not the system update.

Does it really help with rooting? Because there's no use of updating the phone if there's no root option available. Plz confirm bro. I have already installed using flashtool. And I can't root. Have you got a rooted d2203 4.4.4??
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3012248

Hello uday... The thing is i tried this method. There's this kernel on this method BOOT_D2203_4.4.2.img which is for 4.4.2. I tried installing this kernel. It installed but my phone was bricked. Stuck at sony logo and won't boot. I have used this method one month ago when my device was on firmware 4.4.2. But now it's on firmware 4.4.4 that's the difference. I hope you understood what I'm trying to say. Basically I'm looking for Root kernel for the LTE variant with 4.4.4 installed (D2203) And my bootloader is already unlocked as I installed the kernel mentioned in that post a month ago. Help me if you can plz.

i know whats wrong with you . same thing happened to me when i upgraded from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4 . but now its ok .
you have to flash the 4.4.2 kernel ( as it has cwm in it)
and use this to flash supersu..
then you dont have to boot your phone you have to goto advance>power off > fix root=yes .
then you have to use your ftf file of 4.4.4 i.e you have downloaded from xperifirm.
select firmware in flashtool . and remove tick from cache and data in wipe section and in exclude section mark all except kernel.( as in the attached image)
and connect your phone in flash mode and flash it.
phone will boot normally with root.

Totally Worked... Thanks a ton bro. Surely gonna hit your thanks button. Maybe you should post this method which would help dozens of more people like me.
My phone is rooted now but I' facing another problem. For example if I try to install xposed framework... It fails with showing the error "mount permission denied (are you root?)" But phone is totally rooted I checked via root checker. I guess the mount permissions are not -rw. And also I'm not able to uninstall bloatware from link2sd. That never happened before. Plz let me know if any solution available. Thanks.

I followed these steps. After this xposed framework gets installed and reboots too but the modules are not working. Any one them. I installed all the modules and enabled them in xposed installer and also rebooted like many times but still none of them work. And also I'm still not able to uninstall the bloatware. But busybox and xposed installer got installed without any wrror now. What could be the possible cause?

Finally everything is solved now. The problem was that I was using older version of UpdateSU.zip. Now I've got all the root features working. system -rw as well. Thank you for all your help.

Sir! Is there a big difference between the 4.4.2 and the 4.4.4? How's your experience so far?
Nothing changed. Absolutely the same. But in 4.4.2 my phone didn't support the themes properly but in this one it does.. so I'm cool with it. Too sad we won't be getting lollipop update anytime soon.
