Hello everyone.
I have an Xperia with ICS .. now I want to hear from you, experts, medoto easier for root and benefits of this. if you can put some roms and if it's worth it!
Thank you!
up
the easiest way is.... use the SEARCH BUTTON or read the STICKIES
I've already read but unlock the bootloader is a mess .. then a curiosity, I still gotta do replace the screen, should I do now or even further?

If you have to replace the screen you need warranty for that. If you root your device you will lose your warranty and have to pay for the fix.
So, first go to warranty, fix your device and then root.
UPDATE 3 - VIRGIN ASKING FOR £15.32 TO UNLOCK THE PHONE!!!! THEY SAID THEY HAD TO CONTACT ZTE DIRECTLY AND ALSO IT COULD TAKE UP TO 28 DAYS....? WHICH I UNDERSTAND AS IT'S OBVIOUSLY NOT POSSIBLE TO SEND DIGITAL INFORMATION AROUND THE WORLD IN A MATTER OF SECONDS HA HA HA HA HAVE EMAILED ZTE (AGAIN) AND ASKED THEM TO GIVE ME OR SELL ME THE UNLOCK CODE FOR MY KIS. CURRENTLY WAITING ON THEM
UPDATE 2: THE ONLINE UNLOCKERS COULD NOT GET AN UNLOCK CODE FOR ME SO I AM GOING TO ASK VIRGIN DIRECTLY... WILL LET YOU ALL KNOW
UPDATE I HAVE PAID FOR AND AM CURRENTLY WAITING FOR AN UNLOCK CODE BASED ON MY IMEI. HOPEFULLY I CAN ROOT IT USING ONE OF THE APPS ONCE IT IS UNLOCKED? ANY ADVICE/POINTERS/LINKS FOR THE NEXT STEPS WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED
ANOTHER ZTE KIS ROOT/UNLOCK QUESTION
Hi, not sure if this should't be in the developer hacking forum?
I have tried and failed to (root/unlock/brick) this phone in that order.
I have so far tried
Android_Root1.0
SuperOneClick 1.9.5
Universal Androot 1.6.1 & 1.6.2
z4root
Casual-PublicBeta4
dumperQuacomm0.9
P020120908271935113181.exe
UnlockRoot
DCunlocker
I have a debranded ROM - r0_de-branded_roamer2-update-signed
I am thinking that the root stuff is failing because it is not unlocked…?
Anyone got any step by step advice/guide or recommendation for a paid AP or how to use ADB properly to find how to unlock it so I can try to root it again orrrrrrrr an AP or how perhaps I can Root it as is as I am going to keep using Virgin?
Thanks in advance
Have a good day
HELP!! I have a Moto E XT1021 from Cricket, and it doesn't qualify for unlocking bootloader from the Motorola website. nor can I gain root with any other methods without unlocking the bootloader. Rooting my device is all I'm interested in. Has anyone found away around this? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks....

If unlocking downloader is not possible then as of now there is no way to root.

Yes, help! Cricket has released the Moto e xt1021 to Walmart and the bootloader is not supported for unlock. Please, this is a nightmare! It doesn't work right and it has 4.4.4-7 on it already! The people of Walmart need help. This is a disaster!
Any idea why Cricket/Walmart have this policy? Is there a link to a statement about it?
I just bought a Moto-E from Ting and unlocked the bootloader without a problem. Return the phone and sign up with Ting. It is potential a cheaper option anyway.
me too

At&t owns aio /cricket. At&t refuses to participate in Motorola unlock program. They are a real stick in the mud. Well, that's fine. We don't have any rebels here anymore. I suppose the days of doing things like this just to say you did them are coming to an end. Maybe Sunshine will update. I hope AT&T GOES OUT OF BUSINESS. I am a humble ewok, I am no match for the Death Star. All I can do is put my phone in airplane mode and throw it at them; like a rock.
Sunshine may support it when the 3.0 version comes out.
Is anyone willing to experiment with their phone a bit at the risk of bricking it? PM me! I wanna try to get this thing rooted.

I got one of these today. It goes back tomorrow to be replaced with one that is NOT Cricket (AT&T) or Verizon. I got it for $52.00 after tax and it would be WELL worth the extra cash IF any to get one that can be rooted. AT&T might as well merge with Apple. It is a match made in Hell.
So...
Bump, with info.
What about this? http : // blog.azimuthsecurity.com/2013/04/unlocking-motorola-bootloader . html (I would have made it into a link, but I'm new... all I did was add spaces)
I don't know much about phones but if there was a way to issue a command to blow the appropriate q-fuse, it should (in theory) unlock the bootloader right then and there, allowing the whole rooting process to happen... I just don't know what commands to issue or how to do so. Could someone smarter than I am please look into this? While I'd rather not brick my phone I'd be willing to test a couple of things if need be... (Moto E second gen). The author of that post seems to have actually been successful in unlocking a bootloader that way, but I don't have such extensive knowledge.
I spent a good two and a half hours with Cricket, going around and around. They are NOT owned by AT&T, they just use their towers. Or at least that's what two different representatives from some call center said. *shrug* I still think they're in bed with each other, so they're still crap any way you slice it.

Because Cricket belongs to AT&T, and AT&T are the spawn of the devil.
If it's good for the consumer, AT&T are against it.
I feel like we can get somewhere with this article:

I've tried downloading the code, installing Python, and executing the script, but I get a syntax error on line 45. I know practically nothing about Python, so I'm stuck, but I'm hoping there are some expertise here that can help.
Help unlocking bootloader for XT1021 Cricket variant
Has anyone come up with a fix for this? I have the same problem - replaced my broken older Samsung with a gently used Cricket variant of the Moto E XT1021. Seems like this is the only one that Motorola will not allow the bootloader unlock? Anything to be done?

How are you with technical stuff? I'm by no means a developer, but I posted a link just before your post (see post #14). I understand the concepts, but I can't tell what's going wrong in my Python execution. If you can visit the Git linked in that blog, I've posted an issue in hopes that the original developer might help, but haven't gotten any love yet.
Hi guys, first off, I'd like to apologise if this is not the right place for this thread- feel free to move it to the right place if so!
Secondly, I'd like to ask if there's a method for unlocking a bootloader that is locked... do I need to unlock the tablet from the EE carrier first? Or is there another method of doing so?
I tried to root the device for hours on end and nothing managed to work at all!
Any help at all would be appreciated!
Thank you,
Amro

if you have an operator market device, 99% you will not be able to unlock your bootloader.
You can look in Service Menu if your device bootloader is unlockable.
But even if it is not, you can root your device easily, just look for instructions on XDA.
The only thing you won't be able to do with unlockable bootloader is install custom (e.g. CM, FXP) firmwares on your device.
Hey all my bootloader said it can be unlocked and just wondering if I can have some help with the rooting process this is my first owned sony
get root then install twrp recovery then backup TA.
to root :
try giefroot. if failed, find older kitkat firmware version & flash using flashtools. repeat giefroot.
if Z3v is not supported, then proceed to unlock bootloader
Code:

unlocking bootloader may cause losing drm keys permanently

Whoa, think about what you're doing first. Are you unlocking for developmental purposes? There hasn't been any root to achieve yet and unlocking will mean losing the DRM keys that Sony uses to enhance such functions like the camera sensors. It's a point of no return because none of the software that's available online supports the Z3v. And I mean root, TA backup, and even PC Companion itself.
Just a caution to let you know.

U have Skype
ya... be careful.... but it is good to know that some of z3v devices are allowed to unlock bootloader.... nice one.... but unfortunately my device was not allowed
p.shashikiran94 why are you resurrecting all these old posts? Are you trying to rack up you post count?
I'm frustrated because after a basically dead board here for several weeks, I posted a question that suddenly got buried out of sight so it never gets answered.
God forbid I ask on the development board for I'll surely suffer "noob chastisement".

It's weird he's resurrecting them, I agree. And I wouldn't bother with unlocking unless there is definitive proof we can. I say this because someone here went so far into the terminal of his Z3v that he got into hot waters and bricked his phone. After changing out with Verizon too many times, they kicked him out of his warranty.
