This is my problem these days.
There is no root application for original rom 2.3.3
Download the attached ZIP and flash the recovery via LGMDP. (CWM 3.1.0.0 included, if you want something else, replace it with whatever you want.)
- Unzip, run LGMDP-v1.5.exe
- Click Download in menu
- Select Port
- Choose your phone, click Connect
- Click Image Folder button, browse to the directory where you unpacked this
- Click OK about 3 times on the warnings
- Close the window
- Click Download button
- Let it do the job.

LOL, yeah, you definitely need that. Flash this from recovery. Once done, grab Busybox Installer from market and install busybox.

Of course... It is not supposed to root your phone at all!!! It flashes custom recovery so that you could flash a rooted ROM from there, or flash the superuser ZIP (see my howto)
People, really - please think about what you are doing.

Hi guys, regarding the problem about rooting the original GB, it can be done, and it's not that complicated.
First of all there are a couple of things that you have to consider before starting to root.
1. Be sure that you have installed the original V20G GB ROM.
2. if you have it installed and tried different methods to root on it do a factory reset before trying this one.
3. Be absolutely sure that you have all the drives installed when working with the phone in USB debugging mode, if not install them.
4. Download SuperOneClickv1.9.5-ShortFuse, after download extract the files into a folder with the same name as the archive.
5. After you extracted the files, go to C:\Windows\System32 and copy the cmd.exe to the folder where you extracted the files, in my case C:\Users\myuser\Desktop\SuperOneClickv1.9.5-ShortFuse\ADB.
6. right click on cmd.exe from the ADB folder, Run as administrator, than write:
adb devices
adb shell
echo 1 > /data/local/lge_adb.conf,
Do not close the window, live it like that.
7. Enter the phone settings menu, to the Development and tick the USB debugging mode. Connect the USB cable to the phone, wait until it recognizes it, after that start SuperOneClick.exe.
8. Leave the settings to the SuperOneClick as they are when it opens, click on ROOT and wait, it will say Starting ADB server..., than it will do it's job and than it will appear Waiting for device... it will say ok and that if it freezes while running psneuter do the following:
a. Turn USB Debugging OFF wait until it will appear in the window again Starting ADB server..., after that,
b. Turn USB Debugging ON, and after this trick it will start rooting.
This is the method that i did and it worked like a charm.
After this it will ask you to reboot the phone, DO NOT FORGET, and after the reboot click on the SuperUser icon in the phone's menu. it will aks you is you allow or deny it's access. click allow.
If you do not get the Allow Deny message the root was not completed successfully. do a factory reset and try again the same steps.
If you do get the message you have rooted the phone, go to market and update the superuser and install busy-box. After you can install a custom recovery. Also you can install your preferred Kernel if you don't like the stock one.
As a recovery i use AmonRa i don't like Clockworks. if you like clockworks install rom manager and install it from there. if you like amonRA download it and follow the steps from here.
I don't know this will work or not. But if it will work the cheers to you boy.

After step 5 i forgot to write connect the phone in USB debugging, and when you put the first command adb devices is should find your device.

Hey
Yea i did something stupid , never mind how.
Basically i tried installing CM 10.1 , messed up really bad beacause i got stuck in the boot logo etc etc.
Now i "somehow" wiped my internal storage and have no way to install a ROM , tried connecting via USB but nothing helps cannot seem to get my htc one x + detected.
So basically phones pretty messed up and unusable atm , need help
Thank You.

5. Reboot into bootloader, connect it with Fastboot-USB!
6. Flash the new recovery!
7. Reboot Phone into recovery.
8. Now select advanced - and then ADB-Sideload
9. Go into haason's toolkit and choose from extra (bottom, right corner) "ADB-Sideload"

Is your device detected?
Don't worrie if the command promp say "no device detected", close that windows and the toolkit will ask you for the ROM you wnat to Sideload.
Did you get to that point?
Have you been able to flash the new recovery?
That would mean, that your system already detected the phone

For future notice Hansoons tool kit us typically worthless in these cases (and most others). You need to install the LATEST SDK from Google and run commands out of the "platform-tools" folder. As far as drivers go, you need to install the latest version of HTC sync and then plug the phone into the computer before ever modifying the phone.

I'm sorry for my carelessness, the download link I attached in the previous post was for S1. The method is similar to almost all android devices. The only thing you should worry about is CWM. You can follow the same steps but make sure that you have a CWM for your phone. If not, you may try porting it to your phone or just download ROM manager on your phone, it will provide you with all the options for flashing CWM. You can download ROM Manager from google play. Other than that, the steps are all the same.

Try doing this. Install SuperSU using CWM. If it installs, reboot the phone and check whether it has been installed by looking at the All apps section under settings. Then try to use any root application. If you encounter any problems in these sections, kindly specify where you get the problem.

Does anyone know how to root the .167 firmware of the M4 Aqua? I don`t want to downgrade due to the improvements made on this firmware, I have the E2303 model of the phone
With unlocked bootloader, you can simply flash twrp and then the supersu zip. With locked bootloader i dont know.

Yeah man. Unfortunately you do gotta downgrade first if your bootloader is locked. Otherwise just do what the other guy said.
Here's what you do if you've got locked bootloader.
Get the full source and files here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/m4-aqua/development/bl-locked-twrp-touch-recovery-bl-locked-t3257430
1. Downgrade
2. Flash root through adb
3. Flash recovery through adb
4. Build pre-rooted upgrade zip
5. Flash with recovery
6. Now you're on .167 with root and bootloader locked.

Hi! I really need some help...
Would you mind being a bit specific about a couple of those steps? I'm sorry but i'm a bit noob, and im a little confused about all of these ways and step to root your phone. How do i downgrade and is 26.1.A.1.128 the right version for the E2203? Are the steps you just referred explained with more detail anywhere? I'm sorry for all these questions but this is being an harder process than i was expecting...

Sure thing friend.
I'm going to assume you meant 2303 correct? If it is indeed a 2203 like you say, you don't have an xperia m4 aqua. You have an xperia e3 and you'll have to go get support in another thread.
ADB, Fastboot, Drivers
First you'll need to make sure you have ADB, Fastboot and Drivers to interact with your android device.
The easiest way is to follow this guide to get all of those: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48915118#post48915118
Downgrade Firmware
1. First get yourself firmware version 26.1.A.1.128 for your variation. You can probably find your firmware at this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/m4-aqua/general/stock-xperia-m4-aqua-xperia-m4-aqua-dual-t3141061 (Get the 26.1.A.1.128 version or any firmware that has xx.x.x.1.xxx! The x's can be anything but the 1 is important)
2. Once you have that, you'll need to make sure you have a program called FlashTool.
Download: http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php
Open it and click the lightning bolt in the top left and make sure flashmode is selected and click okay. Then click the 3 dot's button in the top right of the window that pops up and browse to the folder that your FTF file is located. Then choose the ftf file. check both options under wipe. If you see any .ta files in the firmware content area, make sure you exclude them. Then Press OK.
3. Unplug your phone (if it's not already) and turn it off. Now, plug the one side of the cord into the computer with the other side not connected to your phone yet. Then hold down the volume down button while plugging in the other end of the cord. sometimes you get a popup asking about a script file. just click okay and let it proceed.
4. once this whole bit is done. You have downgraded your firmware.
Installing Root on downgraded firmware
1. Download this rootkit file:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/edse0h6b02odzn1/rootkitXperia_E23xx.zip?dl=0
2. Extract it.
3. make sure USB debugging is turned on in your phone settings. Go to settings. Tap about phone a whole bunch of times till it says you're a developer. Then go back and just above about phone should be another section called something like development. click that and scroll down and find a checkbox that says something like enable usb debugging. Click it and you're ready to root.
4. Now run install.bat in the rootkit folder. If your phone asks you a question about permissions, just click allow.
5. your phone should restart and you should now see the SuperSu app in your app drawer. If you don't see it, try installing the root again.
Installing Custom Recovery on any firmware with root
1. Download this recovery install file:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/yomdwq3p2le9hvi/M4Aqua-lockedTWRP-0.1-installer.zip?dl=0
2. Extract it
3. run install.bat
4. your phone should ask about root privileges for ADB. Sometimes it takes awhile to pop up. Just click allow.
4. your phone wont restart with this one but you should now have a custom recovery
Booting into the custom recovery
1. Turn off your phone and unplug it from your computer
2. Now turn your phone on
3. When you feel it vibrate and see the notification light turn blue (sometime while it says sony on the screen) press the volume down button and hold it.
4. You should now be booted into the custom recovery
Installing the latest version of android while keeping root
1. Download this file below:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/z0tgziwx8epdu38/twrp_prerooted_M4.zip?dl=0
2. Extract it
3. Download 7 zip from the below link:
http://www.7-zip.org/
choose if you're 64 or 32 bit system.
4. Install 7 zip
5. Make sure you have an FTF file of the version of android you want to upgrade to. (probably whatever version you were running before all of this)
6. Open the ftf file in 7 zip and drag the system.sin and kernel.sin file out of it onto your desktop
7. now open flashtool again.
8. Choose the advaced menu item and click Sin Editor
9. Browse to where you put the .sin files and repeat these next steps for each one.
9a. click on the .sin file and click open.
9b. Then click extract data
9c. the extracted file should be in the same location as your original file. (repeat this step to extract other sin files)
10. Once you have kernel.elf and system.ext4 copy them into your twrp_prerooted_M4 folder
11. Then select everything in the folder and right click on them and click Add to zip...
12. It should open a window that has a bunch of settings. Don't worry about most of them but just make sure that you have the compression level set to 'store' and the type set to zip. Then compress it.
13. now make sure your phone is plugged into your computer and still in recovery mode.
14. transfer your newly created zip file over to the sd card of your phone
15. on your phone in the recovery, click install and browse to where the zip file is. Select it and install it.
16. Reboot your phone and you should now be on the latest firmware with root.
17. after your phone reboots, you will have lost your recovery so go back and install the recovery like i mentioned before if you still want it.
That's it. I hope this was clear enough for you. If you have any questions, feel free to PM me for more clarification.
Fixing Random Reboots - New Information
There is a guy in the general forums named @thewailer that seems to have come up with a solution to the random reboot problem. I'm currently trying it out and it seems to be holding up so far.

Hi
I've flashed E2303_26.1.A.2.167_CE.ftf and everything works fine but I still got the BL locked. if I flash other ftf I get no network signal on my phone, I just get signal with this ftf.
if I follow your instructions I will have .128 unlocked but I will still not have signal on my phone, right?
if I flash .167 after unlock the 128 will I get the .167 unlocked? if anything goes wrong and flash .167 again will everything works fine?
many thanks, and great detailed explanation on how to unlock our phone.

If I`ve understood correctly, it will remain unlocked:
1. Downgrade
2. Flash root through adb
3. Flash recovery through adb
4. Build pre-rooted upgrade zip
5. Flash with recovery
6. Now you're on .167 with root and bootloader locked.
---------- Post added at 02:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:34 PM ----------
Will we loose the DRM keys?
Can somebody check them after successful rooted firmware upgrade, please?
as long as the Bootloader is locked, the DRM keys are safe.

Guess I could have mentioned the first boot could take awhile.
I should also mention that because the bootloader is still locked that it is nearly, if not actually completely, impossible to brick your device. There is almost always a way back to a functional device.
I'm glad this all worked for you though.
cmstew said:
Yeah man. Unfortunately you do gotta downgrade first if your bootloader is locked. Otherwise just do what the other guy said.
Here's what you do if you've got locked bootloader.
Get the full source and files here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/m4-aqua/development/bl-locked-twrp-touch-recovery-bl-locked-t3257430
1. Downgrade
2. Flash root through adb

5. Flash with recovery

Hey can you help me with something? I'm trying to downgrade to .112 but when ever i try to flash it, it gives me an error on boot delivery, it says that there are some files missing. I already tried with several ftfs, and other flashtool version including latest one. The only ftf that i'm able to flash is stock 26.1.A.2.167 adn i got it from xperifirm. I already tried to flash everything except for bootboundle, but it will still get in a boot loop.
If you have flashed xperia m4, can you please tell me what flashtool version you used, and what ftf compilance? I have E2306.

Thank you, thank you all. I finally did it.
just some remarks that can help other guys with same issue:
1. I need to use the newest version of Flashtool. without the final patch 26.1.A.1.128 was always rebooting the phone.
2. After the last step (Installing the latest version of android while keeping root) I had version 167, network signal was working fine but mobile data doesn't. I went to Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> ... More and clicked "Internet Settings". mobile data started working and no further issues found.
3. Finally, in the end I got .167 rooted but no able to enter the custom recovery. As my device was rooted I just repeated the step "Installing Custom Recovery on any firmware with root" and now everything was as expected.
many thanks

Hello,
I have the device HTC Desire 825 with the pre-installed 6.0.1. I have tried loads to root my device, I have tried all the one-click root ways from Kingo etc but they all fail.
I tried to find a way to flash the device but on the list of devices, the HTC Desire 825 is not on the list. Not sure if there is a way to root it or not, I done it before on previous devices but never been stuck like this. If someone knows a way, please tell me how, it would be much appreciated

Go to HTC dev site. Register. Log in. Look for "unlock bootloader" option. Click on it. Follow instructions. Great, you have now unlocked your bootloader !
Now, in order to unlock bootloader you had to download HTC fastbooot . Open the folder where that HTC fast boot has been extracted.....
Now, previously downloaded Superuser and Twrp files......
Place them in that folder where you extracted your HTC fastboot files.
Right click on empty space anywhere inside that folder while holding "shift", and you will get an option to "open cmd window here". Click on it. Type "adb devices". Your phone should show as some numbers followed by the word device ( "1234567 device").
Your device should be recognized and you can continue to the next step. If it isn’t recognised then you should re-install all the USB Drivers for your device.
Next, enter the following command line in CMD in order to flash the TWRP Recovery files:?*fastboot flash recovery "name of downloaded recovery".img.
When the TWRP Recovery file is successfully installed, CMD will display a confirmation message. Disconnect the device from computer now.Use the Volume buttons to select ‘HBOOT’ option on your smartphone and select it by pressing Power. Test to see if the RECOVERY mode works by selecting the ‘RECOVERY’ option. Your phone should boot into TWRP Recovery mode now and this means that the install has been successfully completed.
To install Superuser, repeat above steps BUT instead of typing "Twrp xxxxxx.img" type "name of superuser file". Once you have confirmation of the file being sent, disconnect from PC, enter recovery, choose install, and click on the superuser file.
Little tip: I spent hours trying to send both Twrp and superuser files to the phone with all kinds error messages showing inside cmd screen. File too big, can't read file, destination unreachable...... then I found simple solution:
Inside the fastboot folder I created new empty folder.
I copy/pasted Twrp and superuser files inside of it.
Opened cmd folder inside of that new folder and tried sending files again, one at the time. It worked flawlessly straight away.
Little tip 2: if you have trouble writing the names of your Twrp and superuser files in your cmd window, you can do the following:
Type "fastboot flash recovery", press space bar once, now left click on the required file in you fastboot folder (Twrp or superuser) and drag it across into your cmd window.
If you need anything else, feel free to ask. When dealing with this kind of fiddling with your device, no question is stupid or irrelevant.

Here's what I did: after trying to remove it, and soft bricking ????, I installed xposed, lucky patched and Greenify. In this forum I am not allowed to explain how I got specific version of Greenify that works with lucky patcher patch in order to gain pro version, so I won't explain it ????.
I simply greenified most of bloatware, so it's out if the way.
I know it doesn't really answer your question but at least it allows to keep the beast at bay.

I already have Lucky Patcher. Later I will search Greenify and try to uninstall all the bloatware. Thanks again ?

Unlike stock Android, manufacturer skins like TouchWiz, Sense etc. come with a plethora of pre-loaded apps that you can’t uninstall. Be careful.

Hi! Did you manage to uninstall any of the bloatware?

Thanks for the help. I successful rooted my HTC Desire 825. But I have another question. I downloaded Titanium Backup to uninstall bloatware apps. the problem is that after uninstalling the apps still remain in the memory of the device, why?

The uninstalled Apps will crawl back after reboot because the device is still S-ON. There are couple ways to handle this. One is to S-OFF the device using Sunshine or similar app. Method 2 is using TWRP. Use the TWRP built-in file explorer, mount system, head to where the apps are and delete the ones you wouldn't need.
Hello guys. Does someone have a back up of the htc 825 stock recovery.img? Maybe someone can extract the stock recovery and share it here please ?

Hi, did you manage to find the recovery img?
I need to flash it instead of buggy twrp, searched for hours and nowhere to be found
Ok, i've managed to find it This is the stock recovery IMG, working fine, extracted from original firmware.

Credits go to nkk71 https://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=2605798 for the great tool to exctract the firmware image,
without it i wouldn't accomplish the task.
If the link will die, PM me, i'll reupload.
Hey guys,
I'm still running the stock EUI ROM and getting pretty sick of it.
I've looked at getting my bootloader unlocked and installing TWRP but it seems pretty complicated for this device and what information I could find didn't work for me.
Can anyone show me some noob friendly guides on getting this done?
Much appreciated!
What?!? I never had a phone which bootloader unlocks easier than in Le Max 2. You have a special switch for that i developer options. That's all. Next you have to restart your phone in bootloader mode and flash desired recovery using fastboot commands.

Wow, I didn't know that's how you unlock the bootloader. Sorry like I said I'm not very familiar with this device yet. Thanks!
As far as using fastbood commands I tried that but the drivers didn't seem to work on my PC. I couldn't get any of that to work. But I'll keep trying.
If you have anything like Samsung Kies or HTC Sync, etc. installed on your PC, you might try to remove it and reinstall drivers using "15 seconds ADB installed".
i just posted this yesterday,. i guess i could have chosen a better title... do you have any suggestions?? (maybe "full guide: adb, fastboot, twrp recovery, backup, flashing"?????)

@thielek what windows do you have? I can suggest something if you have win7, for win10 you can find a guide in some other threads.

Hey, this looks really good!
Thanks I will definitely give it a read and try to get this sorted. I'm pumped to get that CM 14.1 ROM when it gets a few more of the bugs sorted.

No, actually you need to disable the signature verification if I recall it right. I can't find the thread for win10 driver installation right now but for sure I have seen it on xda for LeMax2
Here is the tuturial for noobs (I was noob too and I wrote it for people like me):
Here is the quick tutorial for users like me:
1. Enable USB Debugging
2. Connect phone to the computer
3. Unzip this https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862669609 and run LE_X2_fastboot.exe
4. Wait until it say "Press any button to reboot phone" and just press random button
5. Your phone will boot into system
If you want change to China 21s with SuperSU, you just have to:
1. Turn off your phone
2. Press VolumeUp + Power button - it's gonna boot you to TWRP
3. You can now upload the 21s.zip and SuperSU-v2.78...zip files to your phone from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/le-m...a-rom-t3492640
4. On your phone go to Whipe and whipe all data (swipe blue arrow)
5. Go to Install and choose 21s.zip and wait - when it ends it's gonna boot you to the system
6. Turn off your phone and again boot to Recovery (VolumeUp + Power button)
7. Choose Install and choose SuperSU.zip and there you are!
Now you're gonna have China 21s with root and SuperSu!

Wow! That fastboot program was amazingly simple. Thank you! How did I know find this before. The other guides are very long.
So that installed cuoco92's ROM as well as TWRP. Do you suggest using his ROM? That second link you provided in the next paragraph didn't work.
I was looking for a very clean and vanilla android like ROM. I hate EUI and am excited for that CM 14.1 build but it's not ready yet.
Thanks again very much!

Maybe Madsurfer's 21s will be good for you. It's without chinese apps etc.

The process I am aware of is
1. Unlock bootloader
2. Install twrp (or any custom recovery) in fastboot mod
3. Flash SuperSu zip to get root access.
Can you please explain in your tutorial the first paragraph can do this? I just want these 3 thing to do mentioned above. Thanks.

This 5 steps:
1. Enable USB Debugging
2. Connect phone to the computer
3. Unzip this https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862669609 and run LE_X2_fastboot.exe
4. Wait until it say "Press any button to reboot phone" and just press random button
5. Your phone will boot into system
unlocks you Bootloader, installs TWRP and installs Cuoco92 with root and everything included.
You can install new ROM like 21s and just flash SuperSu zip to get it.

Buddy, I am still finding proper steps to flash twrp, so I can't guide you on custom roms.
Can you please give the steps those you followed in order to install twrp. Thanks
