@Raproid especially

Nice tutorial. Did root before this, but I can say those are the steps required and proved working.
Now, how to achieve working init.d? Tried universal init.d and init.d toggler but none worked for me. Any good guide you can point me?
Thanks again!

Nope e4 has it,s diffrent kernel.
Sent From My Sony Xperia E3 D2212 using XDA app.

Thanks for this. Got my phone rooted but it was soft bricked as the boot.img file supplied i think is only for the D2212. Im using the single Sim LTE variant and had to get the img file from this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2964845) in order to get my phone working again.
Thanks again for the work and dead easy instructions. Maybe just add the other boot.img file

RootingE3
Is it important to install custom recovery?...i want to root without installing custom recovery

This method can also unlock the devices who have "Allow Bootloader Unlock: NO" ?
I'm asking because my father has an E3 2203 wiht locked bootloader and I wanted to unlock it but from I've read there's no way to unlock a locked bootloader.
Can anyone please confirm that this works?
Thank you in advance.

this method can not unlock devices which are not allowed to be unlocked..
mean =>"Allow Bootloader Unlock: NO" can,t be unlocked.
but maby flashing open device botloader can unlock. because it is a botloader without locked state. i think so.

is this allowed for xperia E3 D2202??? i dont know whats the status on "allowed bootloader unlock"

Showing error Camera common has stopped working !! :/
When I restart my phone !! Error appears say "Camera Common has stopped working" ? It occurs in a loop

No work in E3 /D2206/D2203/D2243 ?

d2203
does this work also on xperia D2203?

after flashing cwm recovery my phone stuck in sony logo what to do??

Can I?
Can I install that cmw recovery with Mobile Uncle tools apk?

I can not download Minimal ADB and Fastboot from Google drive's link. It says "We're sorry. You can't access this item because it is in violation of our Terms of Service."

I think you should use opposite volume key to that u are using now,same thing occured with me, the posts said volume down key but in my Xperia e3 dual D2212 it worked with up volume key,so you can try that

Root Mediapad/Honor X2

Before rooting you need to unlock bootloader of your device:
Unlocking process :
- For unlocking you need 3 identifications from your phone.
1. Serial No. You can find this in Settings > About phone > status. 2nd last line.
2. IMEI No. Again Settings > About phone > status. You need IMEI1 only. I repeat for dual sim phones, IMEI1 is only required.
3. Product ID. To get your phone's product ID, dial "*#*#1357946#*#*". The number you see on screen after dialing this code is Product ID. copy it.
- Now goto http://www.emui.com/plugin.php?id=unlock&mod=detail
This page is in chinese. From first dropdown select 2nd options. Wait for sometime, while it loads phone model names into second dropdown. Once phone models are loaded. Select GEM-703L from second dropdown.
- Put in your Serial No, IMEI No, Product ID in next 3 text boxes.
- Key in Verification code you see in image next to last box.
- Click Submit button (Right side green button)
If you consistently get some error. Mail above SN, IMEI, Product ID to [email protected]. They will revert back with unlock code in few days.
- Next download "X2 bootloader unlock.zip".
link : https://www.dropbox.com/s/zrznidv7c0fi4do/X2 Bootloader unlock.zip?dl=1
- Connect phone to computer, shutdown. Press and hold volume down button and power button. Keep holding volume down button, untill phone enters boot loader mode.
- double-click unlock.bat. Select option 3.
- Disconnect phone from computer, Key in the unlock code on phone. If unlock is success, you will see a android robot and "Phone unlocked" written below it.
Now Rooting :
There are essentially 3 methods for rooting, Method 3 is better than 2 is better than 1.
Method 3 : Credit : http://cn.club.vmall.com/space-uid-5467988.html
1. There are seperate rar files for B009 and B012. Download based on your current Rom.
B009 root : https://www.dropbox.com/s/h7os2bx7hsmp7cl/X2_root_B009_Kangvip.rar?dl=1
B012 root : https://www.dropbox.com/s/3tjywj9q9zadj0a/X2_root_B012_Kangvip.rar?dl=0
2. Check Debug usb mode in mobile and connect to windows computer.
3. Run Run.cmd, while phone is connected to computer. Follow On screen instructions. If successful, it will re-boot the phone and write new boot.img.
4. You will not Kinguser app installed. You are rooted.
Method 2 : Again chinese folks over at vmall forum china.
1. Download and extract rar file.
link : https://www.dropbox.com/s/2k8levlxjy97tn8/X2 Root Method 2.rar?dl=1
2. Check Debug usb mode in mobile and connect to windows computer.
3. Run 1.Run.Cmd, Follow instructions. Phone will reboot itself. If fail, try again.
4. You will see Chinese SU app installed. It will ask for updating binary automatically. Follow your intuition(chinese language) to click buttons and update binary. Don't worry it will be easy.
5. Reboot
6. Run 2.Run.Cmd, Follow instructions. Phone will reboot itself. If fail, try again.
7. Done. Open camera app, No camera issues.
Method 1 : May cause "Camera app not opening issue"
1. Download zip file, and unzip.
link : https://www.dropbox.com/s/qnrqncjridi5ipt/X2 Root Method 1.zip?dl=1
2. Check Debug usb mode in mobile and connect to windows computer.
3. Run Run.cmd, while phone is connected to computer. Follow On screen instructions. If successful, it will re-boot the phone and write new boot.img.
4. You will not Kinguser app installed. You are rooted.

WORKED! checked via root explorer..in system app...woo hoo!
yes..changed font too now...all working (B012 had bootloader unlocked already when on previous version-was still unlocked as that process supposedly is permanent)

great enjoy!!!

And me still not working! Any idea?

Are you able to open camera app after rooting ?

I yes, therefore still not have root...

If I had known the camera would stop would not have rooted..oh well new problem to fix...
Edit ..at least screenshot and gallery work...apparently it is the root method?...some boards mention that camera failing is due to some specific root method and to flash recovery and boot image to fix problem..something to that effect
Sent from my GEM-703L using XDA Free mobile app

Yes. Re-root with second method, if you can take the pain to re-image to B009 and update then update to B012.
Process :
1. Download B009 from here : http://emuirom123.dbankcloud.com/GEM-703L_EMUI 3.0_android5.0_V100R001C233B009.rar?rid=1276
2. copy dload to sdcard and goto EMUI updater> setting > local update. Select update and image.
3. After 009 installation, update OTA to B012.
4. Goto 1st page of this post and root with new method mentioned.

Root guide for moto g 4 plus xt1641/1643

THIS GUIDE WILL EXPLAIN PRETTY CLEARLY HOW TO ROOT YOUR MOTO G 4 PLUS XT1641 AND XT1643 MODELS. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR PHONE BREAKING-BRICKING-OR BLOWING UP AS THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN WITH ME BUT IF YOU FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS YOU WILL HAVE A ROOTED PHONE. THE FILES ARE BELOW THIS GUIDE AS A ZIP FILE, ALL THE FILES ARE COMPRESSED INTO ONE FILE, IF SOMEONE CAN UPLOAD THE ZIP FILE TO ANOTHER MEDIA SHARING SITE THAT WOULD BE AWESOME BECAUSE I KNOW DROPBOX WILL BLOCK THE FILE AFTER SO MANY DOWNLOADS. THANKS FOR COMING BY ragequitindustries:cyclops:​
P.S- FOR THOSE STILL CONFUSED THERE IS A VIDEO ON YTUBE THAT WILL SHOW THE STEPS BUT I'M NOT AFFILIATED WITH THIS PERSON, HE'S JUST REALLY HARD TO UNDERSTAND. THANKS AGAIN.
Go to Motorolas website and sign up for an account http://www.motorola.ca/home (I'm in Canada so mine is .ca not come).
Install the exe files that are in zip folder.
Once done this you will go into you phone settings scroll to about phone, (BOTTOM) click it, scroll to build number and tap it multiple times until it says "congrats you are now a developer". Hit back and you'll see developer options, click it and scroll to OEM unlocking. Toggle it on, enter your pin (if you set up a pin to unlock your device) hit done and it will give you a warning message. Disregard it.
Putting your phone into to download (BOOTLOADER MODE).
Turn your phone off after you have enabled the OEM toggle switch correctly (meaning the switch should be on). After your phone has been turned off fully, hold down power and volume down for about 3-5 seconds then let go. A screen will pop up that shows the android on his back and 3 options on the left near the power, volume up/down buttons. Scroll through the volume buttons until it says Start (DO NOT HIT START JUST SIT ON THIS SCREEN).
On your computer. Open the adb folder, you will see adb AdbWinApi.dll AdbWinUsbApi.dll etc all the way to twrp-3.0.2-0-athene (these are just the files for rooting and enabling/unlocking bootloader so don't worry about these just yet). Highlight over any white area in that folder and hold shift and right click your mouse, a window will open and you should see Open Command Window Here. Click it and the cmd window will open.
Now once this window is open plug your phone into your computer. You should here the notification sound that your phone is connected and also there will be a little light near the finger printer scanner that flashes.
Onces connected, copy fastboot oem get_unlock_data into the cmd prompt and hit enter. A string of numbers and letters with (bootloader) beside them will appear. Copy the entire string of numbers and paste into your notepad, it will look something like this,
(bootloader) 124917491749179410401
(bootloader) 39141048018409f003984
(bootloader) 124934810809f0938f080
(bootloader) 1948038fs08032400wf00
NOW DELETE THE BOOTLOADER WORDS KEEPING THE NUMBERS AND LETTERS IN ORDER STILL FROM TOP TO BOTTOM SO IT WILL LOOK LIKE THIS,
124917491749179410401
39141048018409f003984
124934810809f0938f080
1948038fs08032400wf00
Go to the beggining of each line starting from the bottom line and hit backspace once so it looks like this,
12491749174917941040139141048018409f003984124934810809f0938f0801948038fs08032400wf00
They should all be lined up..
Now go to this website, this is where you find out if you can unlock your bootloader and root your phone or not, I'm running on the Fido Canadian variant the XT1641 model it works with it and supposingly the 1643 model as well.
standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-b.php
WARNING IF THIS SITE GIVES YOU 404 ERROR ON YOUR COMPUTER, TRY TYPING IN THE ENTIRE WEBPAGE (standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-b.php) IN YOUR BROWSER, IF THAT STILL DOESN'T WORK USE YOUR PHONES LTE NETWORK BY TURNING YOUR PHONE BACK ON. (UNPLUG PHONE FROM USB SCROLL TO TURN OFF PHONE WITH VOLUME BUTTONS AND HIT POWER BUTTON) THEN TURN YOUR PHONE BACK ON.
Once you got the standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-b.php site loaded you will scroll to a section that says to put your 12491749174917941040139141048018409f003984124934810809f0938f0801948038fs08032400wf00 in then check if device can be bootloader unlocked. If it says it's not compatiable then sorry no further we must go.
If your phone is compatiable, scroll down where it says accept terms etc (AS THIS WILL ERASE YOUR DEVICE COMPLETELY) and accept it. It will ask you to log in to your account you created early and then you should recieve your code right away to your email that you registered with.
Once the code has been recieved put you phone back into boot loader mode and open the cmd window again the same way as before.
Copy and paste into cmd: fastboot oem unlock yourcodefrommotorolagoeshere
Once this is done your phone should reboot, if it doesn't click start with the power button and it will. NOW DON'T WORRY A WARNING MESSAGE WILL POP UP SAYING YOUR PHONE IS UNLOCKED AND CAN'T BE TRUSTED. IGNORE IT YOUR PHONE WILL REBOOT AND YOU'LL HAVE TO SET UP YOUR PHONE AGAIN FROM SCRATCH.
Once your phone is set up from sratch put it back into bootloader mode (no need to do anything with developer options etc)
Almost done --- Once in bootloader mode again, open cmd again (adp folder shift right click open window here) and copy and paste this into the cmd: fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-0-athene.img
Once that has finished go to the adb folder and click ROOT twice, the phone will reboot or should at least a screen will show up on your computer for a few seconds and your phone will be back to it's home screen.
Last step- Copy and paste the BETA Super SU folder and ElementalX into the internal storage of your phone, then back to bootloader mode. Scroll with volume buttons until you see boot recovery, once TWRP recovery has booted hit yes to wanting to modify don't hit read only you'll have to do every all over again. Now hit install, scroll to the Beta supersu folder and click it. Install it, once done reboot your phone.
NOW IF YOU CAN'T CONNECT TO WIFI YOU WILL NEED TO GO TO THE PLAY STORE AND DOWNLOAD SUPERSU VIA LTE NETWORK UNFORTUNATELY BUT FOR 6 MBS THAT IT IS IT'S WORTH IT. ONCE INSTALLED OPEN IT AND IT WILL SAY YOUR BINARY NEEDS TO BE UPDATED, UPDATE IT. BOOT BACK TO BOOTLOADER MODE THEN RECOVERY AND INSTALL THE ELEMENTALX G4 0.03 ZIP FILE THE SAME WAY YOU INSTALLED SUPERSU. FOLLOW THE STEPS ACCEPT THE TERMS AND YOUR WIFI WILL BE BACK... OH YEAH ELEMENTAL GIVES THE OPTION FOR THE FINGER PRINT SCANNER TO BE A HOME BUTTON!!!!! AWESOMENESS.
After all this hard work you are now rooted unlocked and have your phone to enjoy.
Thanks for watching and reading.

That error is normal as long as it says OKAY afterwards, just ensure you reboot back into bootloader/recovery after flashing, else your stock recovery will overwrite TWRP. I'd suggest also flashing the more up-to-date TWRP from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...covery-twrp-3-0-2-r3-moto-g4-g4-plus-t3494337

( Help me ) NewFlasher Flashing Method
Hi,
Somethings wrong with your flashing.
do the thing only what i do ok.
1. if you have original download file from downloaded by xperiafirm, open it.
2. if not download the file again.
3. then open it and copy only .sin files to new folder name as XZP.
4. go to the downloaded file and there is a rar file name as partition.
5. extract that file to that new folder with name as partition in XZP folder.
6. then copy the newflasher.exe to the XZP folder.
7. Run newflasher.exe
8.type N and click enter.
9. then connect your phone to the PC while touching your Phone volume down key.
10. wait until finish the process and press ok and disconnect the phone.
11. switch on and you can see it as new one

I have flashed my phone. but nothings change. but you cant safe your documents and data. because your phone already software crashed. so you can do it.
please note. this app is not recommended like flash tool. but you have no option to recover your phone.
did you try to repair your phone using Xperia companion.
before flashing using new flasher. try to repair your phone using Xperia Companion. which is officially recommended application. open xperia companion and click repair then select phone and wait until show you connect your phone with press and hold volume down key. if this works no need to use new flasher. if this not work you have to use new flasher
