[Q] Root Methods!
Hey guys, Well i've got a question for you
I have an Z3 running 5.0.2 - 23.2.A.1.62 BL
And im thinking of rooting it,
How would you do it?
Flashing back to 4.4 and use Giefroot or just do Kingroot and replace Kinguser with SuperSU?
Tell me why you would?

Personally I woud downgrade and use giefroot and then flash a prerooted 5.1.1. rom
The reason why, because kingroot sends your IMEI to an ip address in China during the rooting process.
I agree: downgrade and giefroot etc. I did it yesterday and all is well

Thanks for any help

Hello,
I tried to find a way to root D2303. I unlocked the boot loader the official way.
On my device is Build 18.3.1.C.0.21 (KitKat 4.4.4).
There are two possible ways: Towelroot and CWM with SuperSU.
It seems KK 4.4.2 is needed for both. So I tried to flash 18.3.C.0.37 (KK 4.4.2) it with Sony's tool Emma.
After boot the device had still Build 18.3.1.C.0.21.
What shall I try next?
Here you have a way to root 4.4.4 -->http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-m2/general/d2303-how-to-root-kitkat-4-4-4-t2955337
stay on 18.3.1.C.0.21 it is and for this rom root
Use this flashtool, is the best
You said that Towelroot works fine in 4.4.4? Or did I misunderstand the comment? xD
If I'm right, could you please tell me how could root the phone? Thanks

That already know xD. So, the thing you try to appoint is Root from 4.3 and then using OTA Update for 4.4.4 KitKat? Is that? Thanks.
1. you need to make a backup copy of DRM keys (this is the forum)
2. unlock the bootloader
3. and then (after reading a few threads on the root), download the appropriate software,ect..., you can start working on the root of your phone
Good luck

Just download the respective firmware and flash it via Flashtool.
You won't lose the drm keys.

1. So no problem if 4.4.4 (.93) is rooted?
2. If it's OK. Any chance to root Lollipop like i rooted
.93? (Giefroot method)
Thanks
No you can't root 5.0.2 with that method.
If you want to retain root, the only way is to flash pre-rooted zip via NUT's dual recovery.
I must unlock the bootloader to do that?
No you do not.
But you must ask questions in the question and answer section.

But I do not want recovery my device..
you cannot root a lollipop rom, you have to downgrade to KK, root it then upgrade again to a rooted lollipop rom, only way it via a flashable zip that can only be installed by using one of the 2 recoveries
why don't you want a recovery?

Not true. If you keep the locked bootloader and install a recovery you can still get official updates. But you will lose root, however you will always lose root of you officially update regardless of if you have recovery of not
Yes, but to apply the update you need a stock recovery.

I still do not want recovery .. it does not work as good like the original version ..
A root and a custom recovery is good to backup and most important : RESTORE a working version of the ROM in case of a soft brick.
But it is your choice.

I still prefer only root .. my old phone (Xperia s) made it only root .. no recovery or things like that .. This is the most recommended in my opinion but I do not know when in the new version of z3 came out with only root .. I'm really looking forward to it
Hi,
I´m on 6.0 rooted with TWRP and would like to update to Nougat without setting up my phone from scratch.
Does this work?:
Flash Stock Bootloader. (Does it have to be the exact same one from the Stock rom version i have?)
Unroot with Supersu
Receive Ota Updates?
Or how would you do it?
Thanks in advance

Hi mate
I am assuming you have a root stock firmware....
Check this thread , it explains how to update stock firmware without losing anything..... BUT you will have to install TWRP and root afterwards
