So the hype with towelroot is going on for quite a while now. I wanted to know if someone used towelroot on the Z2 and has successfully rooted. Also are all features working fine? Thanks in advance.

Stock 4.0.3r5a is not rootable. Anticipating your next questions: Your tablet must already be rooted to install pre-rooted 4.0.3r5a. You cannot install or downgrade to an earlier rootable release.

I can't help thinking there's got to be an opening somewhere. After all, how else can Sony's engineers reflash a damaged or corrupted system?
I guess it requires a level of access not available to ordinary users, though. What a PITA....
They can sign the zip offically so a reflash for repairs shouldn't be an issue for them I would think

Hi,
i had an issue with the touchscreen of my xperia u, so i gave it in to be fixed. When i got it back, they had replaced my ICS with a gingerbread rom. Weirdly, there were some french bloatware apps on the phone, which werent there before, even when i had gingerbread. After getting the phone i tried to update back to ICS, but both pc companion and sony update says, i have the latest software. It's ridiculous becuase i was apble to update the same phone to ICS 6 months ago. I'm running out of options, i dont want to root my phone, so has anyone got any ideas.
i looked everywhere but i couldnt find someone who was experiencing quite the same problem. I live in SRI LANKA. is the issue with the french rom. Any help would be appreciated.

thanks dude. ill try this out.:good:
I was wondering how Carrier and Country affect getting updates? I have a Z Ultra 6802 (HK - came with Chinese apps) and haven't seen the 501 update on my phone yet and I really don't want to unlock the bootloader.
So I guess my ultimate question is: Will I get the update in the US while on AT&T? (I'm ok waiting, just want to know)
Thanks,

Eventually. Or you can do what I did and flash a generic 510. Then use PC companion to repair if it doesn't work properly. When repaired, a new version of 510 is installed by Sony that works.

Look at the opening posts for both these threads. The first shows you how to flash the firmware that will need repair and the second will show you how to repair.

Hi all,
I have Sony Xperia Z Tablet which I want to gain root access for.
Device details:
Model number: SGP311
16GB
Android 4.3
Build Number: 10.4.B.0.577
Not sure if relevant, but the tablet was bought in USA.
I'm pretty much a newbe here, so I would like, if possible, to get a link for a simple tutorial how to root my device.
10'x!
If only there was a search button...

Hi Felimenta97,
Thanks for your reply.
I have seen the post you've linked here before I've posted my question (I definitely know how to use the search option ) but its seemed somewhat complicated/Indirect way compare to the simple ways of rooting I'm used to from my 2 other devices (SGS3, Nexus 4)
Is there any simpler/straightforward way?
Thanks in advance!

Nope. There is no current exploit in 4.3 Sony firmware. So, you either unlock your bootloader, or do that process.
Wait till 4.4!
If I was you, I'd wait till KitKat upgrade comes out! after that I'd root my tablet

Why?
What about Kingo App?
You think it might do the work?

Isn't that almost always the case with updates?
Anyway, has anyone tried to root this tablet on 4.3 with Kingo App or VROOT?
10'x all for your help!

I tried with VROOT, but seems like there's no update yet. Was researching about 4.3 root methods, there a few, most of them you have to go back to 4.2 and then upgrade, but a direct root, no, I haven't found one yet :good:

Hello, I have a Sony Xperia P and I want to to unblock it and root it to install the CyanogenMod. The problem is the guide is very complicated and I cannot understand what to do.
What is the best kernel to use?
What software do I need?
Can anyone make me a short and easy guide for me to follow?
Details:
Sony Xperia P LT22i
Android Version 4.1.2
Build number 6.2.A.0.400
Thx in advance.
And "the guide" would be?

No need to rage bro, I've done it. I somehow changed the bootloader allowed from NO to YES, then rooted, unlocked bootloader and install latest CM11 thanks to a couple of nice users in the other thread.
You can close this now.
