Hi I'm new here.
My phone:
Xperia l starry black,
Model no - c2104
Build - 15.0.a.2.17 (India generic)
My question:
I'm new to the android os, only got my first android device 3 weeks before. I recently tried to root my phone. backed up my ta, partially rooted it , unlocked bootloader...and this is where I messed up. I'm unaware of the fact that you need to flash the stock Rom after bootloader unlock process or the device will get stuck at loading screen (coloured waves). So, when I came to know about it, I downloaded and accidentally flashed newest Rom a.2.17
for which there were no prerooted kernel available therefore no full root. Now my questions
1. Is there any full root method available for the latest firmware?
2. If not full root, is there any partial root method available ? keep in mind that my device bootloader was unlocked and most of the tutorials describes about partial root (with which you can't edit system files) based on locked bootloader..
3. If not above two, can I reflash the stock a.1.31 (older firmware) for which prerooted kernel was available by rachit..
I like going with 1 or 3 solutions (if they were answered)
so guys please help me..all I wanted is a full rooted phone..
Only way I've found that works for full root on .17

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 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

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

Follow the process on the linked page above If you don't already have the Android SDK and ADB installed, you'll need to do that, or eventually just install Minimal ADB and Fastboot.
Edit: apparently got ninja'd.
Edit2: ups, apparently I also suck at reading questions - so unless you're looking to unlock your bootloader, just follow robkellie11's link.
You can root without unlocking bootloader Bro, downgrade to 5.0.1 and use kingroot root

If you Backup your TA Partition, you can restore the DRM Keys and your bootloader status, there for you should be able to use your warranty IF you're on a stock rom while sending your phone for repairs etc.

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.
