Hi all,
Finally decided to root my z2 since I got it in April. I'm on the above firmware but when I try to root with cubeundcube rootkitXperia tool kit I get error adb is not recorgnised command, program or batch file.
Anyone know how to deal with this. Do I need to download anything else side from the tool kit!
Where do I find adb for z2?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

.314 rooting is piece of cake and noob-proof all you only need to is :
install flashtool => install drivers => connect z2 in USB debugging on and unknown Application on
Start flashtool, press the root button, select superuser and press OK
check you device now it will promt you to click on root me
reboot and done
Do you lose DRM keys with this method?

No, you only lose DRM keys if you unlock your bootloader

Yeah thanks, finally tried it with latest flashtool. I followed the process but it did not reboot my phone, it just said rebooting device but nothing happened. I unplugged and rebooted myself.
I've got super user installed but no root access.
When I ask for root permissions in flashtool, I get root access denied.
I downloaded root checker from play store which said I have root but no apps which require root can get it.
Any ideas, doesn't seem like I can repeat the rooting process without reflashing the stock firmware first.

Yeah super user is installed but doesn't seem to do anything!
Don't think this method works for this firmware. Trouble is, don't think it can be undone without flashing stock firmware again.
I know he was just trying to be helpful but it's really going to be a pain to root now!

Do you have USB drivers installed?
First step, instal PC Companion, so that the drivers for your phone is installed (if already installed, skip)
Second, download Bin4ry's X10Flashtool v 0.2.9.1 (search it)
Third, Extract, run x10flashtool.exe
Fourth, enable USB DEBUG on Settings, Application, Development. on your phone
Fifth, Connect your phone via USB, do NOT mount the sdcard, simply press back when asked that 3 options
Sixth, Click root, and wait, done. check if there is superuser app on your phone, if not, try root it again.
Last month a go, my x8 with stock 2.1 just got new update from PC companion,, upgraded and nothing wrong with root proges, u miss someting when doing root I guess,,,,,

I think it way easier to use Super One Click.
Instal PC Companion, and connect it one time before you run SOC... skip if you already have drivers.
Download Super One Click... this one.
Enable USB debugging, connect phone to your PC, open SOC, click ROOT, wait, reboot. DONE!
I've used Super One Click like I've done in the past SU app appears in my app drawer. Root Checker says that I'm not rooted, but SystemApp Remover lets me remove system apps, so I'm rooted but I'm unable to install BusyBox. I've given up on trying to get BusyBox installed for now.

Download this. Extract. Copy that three files in sytem/bin using Root explorer. Reboot when done.
That's xrecovery and busybox. Only that version works
Heyy... I had the same problem with rooting once.... i tried the busybox by stericson i guess, from market. It solved the issue...
I've currently given up on rooting as my X8 got a software update notification when I was connected to my laptop so I'm curious as to what the update is.

Yes it is true. But X10Flashtool gives more than just Rooting your device, its also gives JiT, Xrecovery, and an automated APK Installer, and also it automatically install busybox when rooting, so why use SOC if you want do more than just rooting?
I just give a all-in-one solution, so that he dont download anything else anymore. (for rooting, jit, xrecovery)

I found out that the fake update was because I reverted to the 006 baseband from the 015 and removed some of the system apps that I don't use like wisepilot and Roadsync using System App remover, because it reverted back to baseband 015 and re installed the system apps that I removed.
Strange thing is that System App remover allowed me to remove system apps that needs root to do, while busybox install said that I wasn't rooted.
Will have a go at re rooting again as I quite like the look of ratchs Gingersense ROM.

The X10 Flash Tool worked including the provided Xrecovery. Currently flashing ratch's GingerSense v0.4 ROM.

@dare-devil, well, every other apps have problem so far, but X10flashtool don't, also, custom ROM doesnt have automated apk installer. Titanium backup? you have to install it first right?
Besides it's a VERY handy tool in case you brick your X8, because there will be a scenario where SEUS doenst want to update/reflash your phone, i have encountered that, thats why i use x10flashtool for flashing my phone.
@roland, of course, its created by Bin4ry and Androxyde. 2 great devs

It makes it easier than Super One Click as you don't have to mess around with downloading the Busybox Installer and then Installing Busybox.
I'm sure it'll save me having to put .apk's that I download off the forums onto my sd card and then Install using Root Explorer to install them one by one.

Hey, I'm experiencing the exact same problem with my xperia Go which has the same software installed as listed above. One click root also appears to be failing (however it is not a problem with the Adb drivers. Those should be installed correctly.) Anyway ive factory reset the phone. Installed the latest pc companion to update, and pretty much every combination of things I could think of. Not really sure what to attempt next, I've kind of hit a wall. Does anyone Have any Idea how I might proceed?

You are using 6.1.1.b.1.54 .It is not directly rootable.You have to flash 6,1.1.b.1.10 kernel first.
Follow these steps :
* Flash 6.1.1.b.1.10 kernel with flashtool.
* Root with bin4ry or with flashtool.
* Flash back 6.1.1.b.1.54 kernel
You will be rooted.

Ok, that is good actually. Now go to this link and download Impactor please, unzip the file onto your PC then double click the Impactor application, then on box that pops up leave it on # drop Supersu su to /system/xbin/su and hit start. IF it says successful the go to Play Store and download Supersu, when it opens it will ask to update binary, choose continue then normal and you should have root! Use root checker to verify afterwards if you like. Good luck!
http://www.cydiaimpactor.com/
You might need to install drivers for your device so the root program can communicate with your device, Impactor has a button to help install drivers but if it fails let me know and I can give you some generic android drivers if nothing else
Hope this helps!
I've managed to install all the drivers, but in time will always fail to install the adb drivers
it say
cannot start this hardware
there was a problem installing this hardware
android composite adb interface (Qualcomm usb ID)
windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware
the driver may be corrupted or missing (code 39)

Try installing this on your PC, it will help find drivers for your device. If that don't work we will use the generic drivers:
http://www.snappea.com/
Also - Do you have USB debugging enabled? Go to Settings > Developer Options > and make sure USB debugging is checked otherwise the PC cant use ADB drivers even if correct ones are installed.

Ok, do you have SuperSU or Superuser on your device? First we will have to sort that out. Both apps do the same thing, but it is not good to have more than one installed at same time or you get conflicts on whether you are rooted because the apps cant decide who controls root access between them all. How many superuser apps do you have counting the chinese one Vroot installed/ Usually when I use Vroot, it installs the chinese superuser app then I instal SuperSU from play store, when you go to update binary in SuperSU the first time you open the app, make sure you hit the right button in the chinese pop up that should pop up. If you have alot of trouble figuring out this part, feel free to install Teamviewer on your PC and I can connect to you and help you get this sorted, I have tools that will let me see your phone on your PC's screen so it wont take long to fix I dont think.
No i dont have supersu apl in my phone.
What you need about my mobile?
I will send you everything you need.
I check in google and i think my mobile same with innos i6c.

Ok, first go install SuperSU from Play Store. Once installed open the app and it should pop up a message saying it needs to update binary. Choose continue then choose normal. You should then get a pop up box that from the chinese root app, make sure you tap the right hand button to allow the english SuperSU to install binary. Let me know if it fails after this, if it completes with no errors reboot phone once. Upon rebooting look to see if the other chinese root app is still there. If it is still there then I will need you to go back into SuperSU app and then choose setttings, within settings please choose "Install SuperSU into /system" This may reboot phone but that is ok, if it does not reboot then reboot it yourself. (If it reboots phone itself, it had to do that to clean up files first and you will need to go back into SuperSU and install SuperSU to /system again and reboot once more) Upon reboot chinese root app should now be gone and you should have root.
I do not need any info about your mobile, I got everything I need to help already. I was suggesting Teamviewer meaning if you cant get root yourself, I was offering to connect to your PC and do it for you. If you would feel more comfortable just doing it yourself that is fine but I was just making the offer in case you were to the point you just wanted it done and over!
Let me know how it goes.

That won't work unless he has a unlocked bootloader, which I assume he doesn't. So he either unlocks the bootloader (which might end creating problems, as he might forget to backup TA partition)) or uses the straightforward VRoot

gowan how do i know if it is locked bootloader?
I found some info on google about ta partition backup that it contains drm keys for prop soft etc.,
So may be this is the first step I shd do if it is locked bootloader.
Now it is restoring ta will get you to point in unlocked state.
Questions becomes will it be possible to restore TA partition and stay in unlocked mode?

I have this same issue, Except my firmware is slightly newer, 10.3.1.E.0.191, I don't think I can make a new pfn address without root or boot loader access. I'm stuck
I don't get why everyone is having such an issue with rooting this firmware. Grab an ftf of an old ie. Rootable firmware for your tab flash with flash tool,root it,put a custom recovery on, and then grab the files and follow this guide

No. The bootloader doesn't unlock just because you updated your device. And no, there is no way to unlock the bootloader without voiding your warranty. And, remember, always backup your TA keys before unlocking the bootloader.

Worked :good: (on Locked BL)
in the second step the phone don't ask me to grant SU and don't reboot to recovery
root checker says me that i'm root and Super SU don't update the files....

So you have a rooted device whithout any control about wich app should have Root Access...
OUCH
The message should appear and you must grant it..

try to repeat the step one, make sure that it has been rooted. And don't reboot the phone...
then connect to pc and follow the step 2.

help...
ok.... lot of things happening.... kingroot says i am rooted... step 2 didnt work but after keep trying it worked once and said successful but it didnt reboot to recovery....
then even the root checker says "Root access is not properly installed...." :crying:
what are my options all my data is backed up.......
:crying:
ok now i went ahead and used the flashtool to flash 5.0.2 ftf that i made from downloading the files using XperiFirm.
Its booting up right now and this will hopefully get me back to where i was before...
After this I rooted using the Kingroot app version available in english in the XDA forum (plz search for it.. sorry i didnt save the link).
Now i am rooted with Kinguser as the superuser app
Same here
No recoveries were injected but rooted
At least we are rooted on stock lollipop... thats the good part... i have restored my titanium backups no issues.... i am rolling......
but can we trust the kinguser as the superuser app?
Do I need to unlock bootloader before do this?

No you don't, it can be used for locked bootloader. You only can used root access by kinguser not SuperSU and because it stuck on step 1, you won't have the recovery on your device.
