What device, carrier, and version of android is your device running? If you can provide me with some more information, I will be happy to help you out with any questions you have.

You would also (probably) need to know about unlocking your bootloader. But as @shimp208 said, in order to help you, you would have to give details about your phone.

You need to give more information than this. What device do you have? Clarify your question.
Hi
I am on 23.0.1.A.0.167 4.4.4
how do I root? This guide says I need recovery...http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/general/4-4-4-creating-rooted-update-package-t2933155
but I dont have it as I am not rooted..
How can I root 4.4.4? I dont have any recovery. Is it not possible to root 4.4.4 without recovery?
Do I need to downgrade to 4.4.2?
Yes downgrade to 4.4.2 root it and install recovery and flash a custom rom what is based on 4.4.4 !
Search before post !
All is simple but some of ya'll choose the difficult way.

I appreciate the guidance, but I, like the OP, would like to know if there is another way of doing this w/o having to downgrade... no need to belittle the question, after all this is a forum, where by definitions questions are expected...
BTW, anybody has found a way to root 4.4.4 w/o downgrade? Thanks!

Despite all the negative feedback you've gotten by asking your question, YES there is a way. I found it and then created a new thread with the step-by-step.
Unfortunately, it does require unlocking bootloader and a few other tradeoffs such as losing X-reality and your warranty.
For full details: ROOT without downgrade

Now this is what needs to be worked on...I spoke to Asus myself and told them the need to release it and let some good developers support this device because they sure haven't...:laugh:
How did you root it?
As title really, can't really find a definitive answer.
It was a UK Tesco handset but unlocked to all, and still running the standard Moto stock firmware.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards

I need to unlock bootloader and root for that though don't I? I don't want to root as I use banking apps/Sky Go and I will lose those.

You can unlock bootloader, install TWRP and install 6.0 stock rom without rooting.

there's nothing you can do if your device manufacture don't provide software update.But one way you can test new android version is to flash custom rom instead.

Not at all.the rom are specific for different phone.You can't use other phones rom to your phone.It will brick your phone.So search for only rom that support for your phone model.
Yeah I kinda did that but no success unfortunately I was helping that someone can point me in the right direction

Tell me your device name and model so that I can help you to find the correct rom for you.But don't hope too much.You can barely find a custom rom for your device because it is a very much chines phone and not a popular smartphone for development.
There you go! Thank you!
