hello guys
I have a Sony Xperia Z3 (D6633) (android 5.1.1) and it's rooted.
so recently I wanted to update my phone and after I downloaded the update from the official software update app and tried to install it my phone restarted and then a notification showed that the installation wasn't successful.
so I searched and found out that it was because of the root, but I wasn't able to unroot. by the way, I rooted my phone with kingroot app. I deleted the kingroot app and then installed super su but I got su binary occupied error that I wasn't able to solve.
now I'm here asking for help to update my phone.
I also found an article about flashfire so I wanted to know that is it safe to use it. is it possible to lose data?
by the way, I know before doing anything I should do a backup so do you guys know a good way to do a backup? (I can't use the official software for pc)
I just wanted to add that I don't have that much knowledge about this stuff so it will be a big help if you explain things a little bit more.
try this thread
https://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/general/recovery-root-mm-575-291-lb-t3435214
Excuse me but I can't seem to find the solution there. Can you explain a little bit more?
Is there anyone that can help?

Hello everyone i am new to the forums and i am asking a question regarding updating the su binaries on my phone. I got my g2 back in november because they were out of one m7s and this was the second best phone. So i went home and figured id root it. I didnt really want a rom i just like being able to record my screen and mess with the clocks. So none of the ways to root this phone worked so i tired this one in chinese. I succesfully rooted my phon. And it installed supersu. It said i needed to update the binaries so i hit ok. It said it failed. I tried updateing them by moving the .su directly to the folder, but sense i dont even have root permissions because i dint have a .su, it was unsuccessful. So what are my options? Im only 14 and kinda new at rooting, i have done it on two phones before, so please keep it simple. I dont care about keeping my data so i can i flash a stock rom? I. Tried it before but the method was for the 16 gig version which used a kdz file and sense i have a 32 gig version i needed a different file for some reason. In my phone settings it says im rooted and in recovery mode it o whatever pressing vol down and power with a usb connected do does, it says so to. I do NOT have access and i cant figure out how to update the .su and i could really use some help. Could you give me a link or something showing me how to flash a stock rom, or cyanogenmod? Or just getting a way to update the .su would be fine. Sorry for the long description i just want it to be easy for you to diagnose my problem.
Thanks,
Riley

You can check this thread about root on your device: [Root] Stump Root for LG Devices (2012 - 2014) Big update 1.2.0.
And here is the SuperSu app thread: [STABLE][2015.01.20] SuperSU v2.45.
In the first post there is also a zip file for flashing in custom recovery. If you use this, you won't need the binaries updating process like after updating via Play store.
For registered users, there is more help in the root Q&A thread for your device, and for the SuperSU app update in the SuperSU support thread.
Thread closed. Thank you.
I have read the other threads numerous times, and for the life of me can't get this phone rooted.
It is the D651 version and it's running Lollipop from an OTA update.
I tried rooting before allowing the update, but couldn't get that to work, so I decided to go ahead and update to lollipop thinking that would solve my problem
NOT!
I've tried KingoApp---FAILED
iRoot----FAILED, both phone version and computer version
Towelroot----FAILED
Does ANYONE have any suggestions?
I downloaded MTK Engineering, and went into MTK Settings/Log and Debugging/User2Root/Root
but that didn't seem to do anything either.....not sure why I even did that other than reading in one of the other threads to go into engineering mode and allow root.....I'm assuming that's what this means?
I am really getting frustrated by this...please, if anyone can offer any tips/tricks/or insight on what I am doing wrong, it would be greatly appreciated.....
Try Kingroot
First excuse my English but I'm using google , you need to download Aptoide ( which is an alternative app store ) from Aptoide you write browser and then install it , and looking for the KIGROOT installed application to appear clicking on the ' look at other stores " there will KINGROOT appear with an icon of lightning , is in Chinese , click on the icon and wait until the middle of root, then check with root checker , you then recommend to be root to delete the store of Aptoide.
Install a kind of SU called Kinguser , I install CWM or Philz , when I have you posting like . good Luck

Kingroot doesn't seem to work on this device. I'm not OP.

Hello Buddy i just got this phone and the 1st thing i did was update it because it was on kk know it is lolypop and i used kingo root method and workede like a charm. it also gave me kinguser and purify..
Yeah, I managed to get it to work also.
Then went so far as removing Kinguser and replaced it with SuperUser.
Caused a bunch of problems in doing so, but managed to get everything in working order......to an extent.
Now, no matter how many times I try, I can not unroot or return to factory settings.
Even wiping the phone and flashing stock/recovery doesn't seem to work.
I've been trying to 'wipe' the phone and return it to out of the box status several times but.....no joy.
I'm going on a huntch
Means this is mtek phone
Thinking back to moto g the xt we had to get a unlock code from Motorola and use the n send this extra long key by email to moto for exchange of an unlock code.
Anyone think maybe same rule might apply?? Just guessing cause I want to see this thing unlocked an going cause this audio is really weak on my end and the touch screen is the pits when typing its like 50 x then it types the letter
I noticed after I used king root everything I changed started to go back to the way it was n or disappeared.
Kingroot seemed to work
Seems to work only for awhile until you start trying to make heavy system changesit starts to bugger up. I got that same page its in my opinion a temporary exploit method.
Hello all. Recently I installed Chainfire3D and tried to install whatever was needed before the plugins. My Sony Xperia M2 (D2306, Android 4.4.4, rooted with the latest KingRoot) was caught in a bootloop after I tried the installation.
There is this thread here <http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2362873> that tells me how to fix it. My current problem with this is that this device doesn't have a stock recovery move to follow the tutorial, or so I've found.
I could use flashtool and restore I think, but it is unavailable to me for the next few days.
Any help would be appreciated, and please let me know if I'm missing any important details. I'm no expert in the root department, but I'm sure I'm not a noob.
Thanks

Flash whole firmware again is the best and easy solution.
Chainfire3D is outdated, next time i recomend you to try GLTools, i use here and it's working fine.
my tablet was rooted than there was an update for kitkat it would not update until I checked a box in SU and it went away. NOW the last update was lolliepop 5.1 tried to root with the same software from your site box opened up had a bunch of denied come up it rebooted I do not see SuperSU icon on the table I'm assuming it didn't work. the only way it would show up on my computer if I had the show up as a CD otherwise it wasn't on my list of drives.
Something new going on with it, does your software work with lolliepop?
Thanks
Mike
Greetings,
Here is a link that may help you with your problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/lenovo-tab-s8-50f-stock-firmware-rom-t2989791
It should be advised that updating stock firmware will usually mean you will lose root, so a newer root method will have to be used on newer android versions.
Good luck, gsstudios
Rooting S8-50 tablet
Thank you that was a lot of info. I didn't see how it would root my tablet with Lollipop on it.
When it comes to using Root_S8-50LC_tab file with Lollipop it doesn't work like it did with KitKat.
I'm new to Android system still greek to me just need something like program above to root it for me. anything simple to root it or did it get more complicated now?
Like many other threads I have browsed through, I too am having issues with King Root rooting and then suddenly rebooting my phone. After a successful reboot in the midst of not even 30% complete of rooting being complete, it still says my phone is rooted until the reboot occurs. After the reboot, it says I am not rooted. So, I still assume that King Root still has no methods to root this model yet. However, I am dealing with two issues I was hoping to get someone with experience, expertise, or just very smart with rooting Android platforms.
1. I was wondering if there is a way to root this model whether it can be done with with or without a computer or laptop. King Root has now become a system application that I can't remove because I don't have root access. I've tried everything to get rid of it. It constantly on a daily basis notifies me that it's trying to or that I need to try to gain root access. I would not have any issue reverting back to original firmware as hard reset has done nothing.
2. Is there a different firmware (I prefer the most recent update) available for this model? I could live with reverting back to the original firmware when I bought the phone in July 2016 from Cricket Wireless. I am not able due to the hardware or software thinking I'm rooted or suspicious of rooting so the update won't process after downloading.
This is my first post. Sorry, if I seem like a newbie here. I just haven't found any relevant answers on Google or searching the forums for similar posts. If there is a way to root successfully, please provide links or some instructions on how to do so. If not, I hope someone can help me revert my firmware to the newest or factory bought. Anything to just get rid of King Root and I know and have already accomplished disabling KR for the time being despite doing hard reset twice already. Is it possible to replace firmware with a new ROM as well?
Thanks for your time and God bless.
