In my Country, ICB is a BANK not Custom ROM
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.

4.4 KITKAT
UNLOCK BOOTLOADER
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

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

Hello everyone. I uprooted my z3 without unlocking the bootloader . Now I can't install busybox . This is the fault of the application : It looks like the installation of busybox was not successful . try installing to a different location , That may resolve the issue ... I also tried to change the directory but nothing
I tried to find solutions on the web but without success . Some good soul know how I can fix ? Thanks to all

If you root with giefroot it should install busybox in the correct place for you.

Why is that the problem?
Giefroot installs busybox at the same time as rooting.
If giefroot works you have busybox installed in system/xbin.
Check that it is not already installed
Also check you have RW on system
No look I do not have busybox in any other folder
But I have the root . But I'm not allowed r / w and the root explorer will not release it . I do not know what to do

Ok, install [NUT]'s dual recovery, that should also install busy box correctly
google it

You google it like I said
http://bit.ly/1zUh13v
Download it for the Z3, the installer, attach phone to PC and run install.bat, just like you did for griefroot
But I have this procedure done after I flashed the FW .93 (I think ) then I did the root and flashed the FW .77
Nut dual recovery also works with the .77 ? Once installed what am I doing ? I just run the file and install busybox ?

If you have installed dual recovery then you have installed busybox
The installation of dual recovery also install busy box.
If you have issues start again
1) flash .93 FW
2) root with giefroot
3) Install dual recovery
4) Flash a prerooted .77 firmware created with PRFCreator that includes dualrecovery and supersu (Make sure you include the flashable.zip version of dual recovery and not the installer.zip version)
Done
Even when I have a .93 and I've already done giefroot not work anyway. I do not know how to solve more ....

Once you have rooted then install dual recovery
I never installed busybox separately, it is automatically installed when you install dual recovery
Alright guys, I'm sorry since there already are a lot of threads about how rooting this device, but from what I've seen it's a complete mess and I can't really understand how to do things properly without ruining my phone.
I need root access with supersu, xposed and lollipop, without rosing my keys, staying on the stock rom.
I read that I should backup, downgrade my firmware to kitkat, root with a one click tool (without losing my keys?) and flash a lollipop update (one of those posted there?)
Then, after having rooted via the one click tool and backupping the keys, am I really safe to flash stuff and then restore them? (always staying on stock)
Now:
What makes me lose the DRM keys? Will getting Xposed and Supersu make me lose my keys?
Is there, by chance, a way that makes me root the phone and install Xposed on lollipop without ANY worries about the keys?
Could you please answer my questions or just tell me the best way to do this safely? I'm really scared of breaking my new device, with my old Samsung I flashed what I wanted without any worries >__>
You will only lose DRM keys if you unlock the bootloader.
Flash a KK FTF ending in .93 using flashtool from flashtool.net
Root it using Giefroot
Install [NUT]'s dual recovery
Flash a prerooted Lollipop ROM.
Done

How are prerooted Lollipop ROMs? Are they just the stock rom with supersu installed.? And then I just have to flash Xposed via the recovery?
Also, could you please link the right prerooted Lollipop ROM? I can't find that one

Alright it's perfect
There's just one thing that didn't happen before...
Messenger won't open when I use the facebook app, it uses the ugly standard app by default and I don't know how to change that, I've already tried unistalling both, disabling Xperia with Facebook and it didn' work!
I don't know if it's a feature of the pre-rooted ROM or something else, does anybody know anything about it?
It never happened on my old rom, can't find anything about it on Google

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!
