root?

Hello could someone please point me in the right direction to root this thing. I've notice there are different methods and a lot of brick talk on here so I'm a little reluctant to use one.I'm not new to the root I have rooted my evo,intercept,g2, galaxy tab. But all those seemed pretty safe I have t 201 and I updated to ics. One more thing I don't care much about the roms just want to run rooted programs so is it even worth it with such a new device?
I rooted mine with sparkys root but first use the unlock tool <unzip your unlock tool prior>...sparkys app is easy either download it with your computer then place in the file of your liking to open and install the app... or i think you can just download it from his page in developement with your prime. And has uproot available which I have done and then rerooted just for fun... enjoy your rooted Prime..

Hi,
Look HERE

ICS Root

Hi guys,
This would have been answered, but is there ANYWAY to get root on my ICS device?
As most of you know it was bricked, so when the UK ICS update came out I just wanted to the device back so I flashed the relevant .zip file.
Would really love root on this, would make it the icing on the "sandwich" lol

No options at all sorry, im in the same boat, had kernel 10.
Hopefully there will be something soon,
Chur
I'm watching here and there if there's something new on the ICS rooting scene but nothing seems to happend for now. Feels like rooting kernels or searching exploits is out of fashion since many major devices providers don't lock their bootloaders anymore. Even Sony has left some air to Xperia owners.
Of course, I don't have access to hacking teams secrets and maybe today's situation is a calm before the (rooting) storm...

[Q] Need advice if anybody can help.

[Q] couldnt find what I was lookin for maybe some help

Hey guys...so I got my galaxy note 2 which I upgraded from the s2....but I had downloaded a font and I want the same font for this phone...but I dont want to download flipfont...cuz I only want the one font....also anybody know of a cool keyboard that doesnt track keystrokes and record them please help guys...also kinda new to the modding also not wanting to root either
If you don't want to root its going to be impossible to do most mods. If you do decide to root or unlock your phone its pretty much impossible to mess it up as long as you get the stock recovery files for Odin and have Odin setup with the proper drivers.

Newb trying to root Verizon Tablet Z2 (SGP561) from 5.0.2.

Okay, I admit, this website indimidates the hell out of me. I'm tech savy and not afraid to mess with things, but the level of new terminology here is staggering.
Anyway, now that you know I'm a wimp: I have a SGP561 Xperia Tablet Z2 from Verizon with Lollipo 5.0.2. I want to root it in order to install custom fonts on Photoshop Touch as I'm living abroad and using my tablet as my main computer while the beast lives back home.
I tried to use the Easy Root Tool but it failed. I assume this is because my firmware is too new and not exploitable as of yet, which means I have to downgrade I believe. I have found some files for flashing (?) but they aren't for the SGP561 specifically - does that matter? All I found were these for Xperia Z2 (not the tablet Z2?)
So, in the easiest language possible, can someone please give a step by step on how to downgrade my SGP561 to a rootable firmware and then flash (?) back to the latest firmware and keep root?
Please, please, please, and thank you.
Bump?
This site is frustrating as hell. Mods are quick to lock noob threads without offering help, and you're not allowed to ask questions in the areas where anyone who knows the friggin answer would ever be anyway! I have a rooted z3V running lollipop, etc, so I'm sort of familiar with the process. But developments had been made where rooting became easier.
I've been wading through endless threads filed with outdated crap trying to figure out how the hell to root my z2 tablet for 3 weeks. None of the way this stuff has been written makes ANY sense.
I'm on 5.02, and want root and dual recovery. Should be simple, right?
I don't even know where to ask the damned question anymore. I've downloaded virus filed $#!+ on my computer, thoroughly screwing it up, TWICE now, only to find I probably didn't even need that file. -Or do I? Download links are so old they don't go anywhere. Can't tell what's what here.
Even this thread ; a WEEK OLD, and no help.

You said it dude. I'm going crazy trying to figure this out. I'm pretty deflated right now and demoralized.
If I ever figure it out, I'll hunt you down and let you know. If you do, please do the same.
Regards.
Seems that you guys are looking for a quick and easy fix, but i dont think that there is one. The method that I used is found in this thread.

I followed those steps in that link. It didn't work for me.
I could not downgrade to 17.1.D.0.437. The device was either in reboot cycle or in the status of in-completed flashed after I flashed the firmware ftf file provided in that post. I had to flash the latest firmware to restore the tablet. I was glad I didn't bricked my tablet.
