Hi im wondering if anyone can help i have an xperia z2.
I recently used the rooting method on the site but did nothing with the bootloader.
now i cannot access the recovery menu and although root checker shows as rooted super su says i need to update the binary. It will not allow me to do this.
Im not sure what to do now as i dont seem able to update this. Can anyone help,my end goal is to fully unlock the phone.
Hmm when I rooted in thought I had to download the super su app from the website. Try this one http://download.chainfire.eu/396/SuperSU/
How do i go about installing this?
I thought I downloaded the app, clicked update binaries and it worked.

Hello guys
I am having i problem with my root access.
Well yesterday i was trying to instal supercharger script on my t-mobile move balance phone. Everything was fine with the progress when on i guess step 5 or something i unfortunately got a msg su: must be suid to work properly...I didint know what to do, and hit kill, all the process was canceled.Later i tried to do the progress once more from the start,when i opened busybox it said No root access, i tried to open titanium too and i got error sorry i could not acquire root privilegies this app will not work please verify that your rom is rooted and includes busybox and try again, and on every app that requires root access it says you have no root access. But i have the su icon. I also tried with factory reset, reroot it again and still the same problem i have the su icon but no root access.
I rooted my phone with superoneclick and when i try to unroot it,unfortunately i guess it needs root access too to make the unroot progres... http://prntscr.com/65iyv
When i just click root http://prntscr.com/65izi
Well it says that my phone is rooted but i got no root access and privileges on apps that requires root access.
There is other problem
some guy told be only with reflashing my rom i will fix this issue and the problem now is HOW to REFLASH my ROM?

EDIT 2: no one still dont know how can i fix my problem? what should i do? throw my mobile thru the window if u guys no one want to help?

Hi, i am a complete noob.
I recently rooted my phone without flashing a new kernel using the cwm recovery mod busybox installer on this site. However, since then i have updated my firmware over kies but not a full update, just a small one. Now although root checker says i have root, my root apps can't gain root access. Would really appreciate any help oli could get on this matter.
Running XWLPI on my phone. Any more info needed i can provide but dont know what is required.

EDIT: The link in the first reply worked, I used the unroot all file to clear everything and then the signed superuser only file to root. worked like a charm

Download Superuser from Play store
S2 - Powered by NeatROM
For stock ROMs SuperSU will be better.

Hi guys I recently rooted my phone and thought that if I could refresh my tablet a bit with a new rom Id use it more so I decided to root that too.
I have followed a lot of the guides on here but am really having issues. The Superuser app just will not work, I have copying and pasting in the new version and rooting again, I have tried unrooting and doing it again with no superuser.apk file at all or a bin superuser file and still no.
I cant even check if the device is rooted correctly as root checker just will not come up with a result it just loads forever.
I tried installing SuperSU instead but it gets stuck on installing then it says there is another programme that may be conflicting and then it just gives up too.
What to I need to do to root this thing and have a working supersu/user app?!?
Thanks

I had the exact same issue just the other day. Is the rom a 4.3 version. They are apparently a little finicky. First, open developer options, and under the root part allow apps and adb. Then I flashed the supersu from this site here , and finally I simply re flashed the rom I wanted, and it worked.
Hey Guy n Gals need some help, to make a long story short Im on Sony Z Ultra C6806 on KitKat 4.4.4. .108
So I rooted via:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2784900
During the process I was having some trouble getting the program to work, finally it went trough the steps and said it failed, however root checker showed root, and so I figured I would go ahead and instal Super Su, it attempted to update Su Binary and failed, rebooted and it seemed to be working, BUT I cant install Busy Box or Xposed, someone please help me on how to solve this.....thanks guys

well you need to flash a recovery for locked bootloader then reboot to system.
Now execute the superuser app again. When it prompts that you need to update superSU, choose CWM/TW...whatever its named that weird alien recovery thing. It will now if successfully granted, reboot to recovery and install the right files.
Or and if the above method did not work you can flash the latest from here http://download.chainfire.eu/396/SuperSU/
I did use this method on my dads Z1 and it worked great cause he is unwilling to unlock bootloader! However you can also try this tool below if you have no luck with the first rooting tool

edit: You need to enable adb root. I do not know where to find this in stock rom. But it has a huge point to stopping other apps for gaining superuser rights if this is disabled.
You can find this on aosp roms in the developer settings around the setting for usb debugging. It might be around the same area on sony stock rom?
In the SuperSU app there is an option in settings you can disable that is named something like "respect kitkat api". This can also help.
Thanks man for taking time out of your day to give me such a detailed response, it is users like yourself that truly make XDA work
So a few months ago I bought my first Android phone in years, a ZTE Max Duo from Straight Talk. Unfortunately, since then I have found absolutely nothing about the phone on forums like this, let alone any way to root it. Has anyone managed to root this phone, and if so, how? I don't have regular access to a PC, but if the only way to root it is through a PC, I might ask for permission to use one.
I am looking for the same with this phone.. It seems like a great piece of hardware thus far bit could use some tweaks that a root could certainly take care of but no info whatsoever.. Any help with this would be great.
I figured out how to root the ZTE max duo (z963vl) via (iroot) I have the exact file and can tell u what to enable for root email me at [email protected] il send the file
Any Success?
It looks like there are a few variants of this device. I have the Imperial Max that is sold on US Cellular. Exact same phone and specs except for the radio.

I would like a copy of that file if you still have it and don't mind sharing it.
Man I've been trying to find any custom ROM or something that can get me to 6.0+ or 7.0+ because I can't deal with 5.1.1
But after searching relentlessly it seems that it doesn't exist.
I've been trying to find a ROM we could port over but that's looking grim too. I made a request over at CM so hopefully someone gracious enough will make one.

KingRoot now roots the phone but the bootloader is still locked!
The ZTE max duo LTE (z963vl) can now be rooted via KingRoot but only temporarily. When you reboot the phone you will lose root. You can not make any system changes either still because the bootloader is still locked after root. You can not update BusyBox either. Also when you root the phone with KingRoot it says "This model restricts root authorization". To fix that error just completely close KingRoot and re-open it and it will fix the root authorization error. Dev's or anyone for that matter please help unlock this phone's bootloader please I really want to start getting custom roms and recovery for this phone plus I want to be able to write to /system. I hope this helps as much as possible and I hope the bootloader will become unlocked with all the Devs help. Also I did this with the apk version of KingRoot only because I do not have a PC.
Great news...

This is a good start... hopefully something comes of this... God I want this phone rooted!!!
Hmmmmm...
So I tried Mardeys method and it did root like he said... installed su superuser and root checker... they worked... busybox wouldn't install... restarted my phone and lost root... so I did it all again then just powered off my phone and started it with power button and volume up... took me to recovery screen with a few options... one being sideload with adb...
I am new at all this so don't know if that helps but would love to get this thing rooted...

Which superuser app are you using? The one by ChainDD just crashes when I run it, and SuperSU keeps saying the binary needs to be updated but fails when I try to do it.

Wall here's what my whole setup was... I ran King root... It said I was rooted but didn't restart my phone... I installed superuser and ran it... This is the one I used... Supersu by chainfire... I installed busy box also but had the same problem about need to update binary files blah blah blah... I then installed a root checker and said I was rooted... Super su was found and busy box... Still no reboot... So I tried installing a few root apps... I installed a app remover for bloat were and it worked... But... When I reboot my phone I lose it all... And can redo it all again but it won't stay on there... Not tech dumb but don't know enough to figure it out... Hopefully that helps you a little as far as what my experience was... Like I said before... If I boot into recovery there is an adb sideboard option so... Just hope it gets figured out soon... Would love to have this rooted with a good room on it.... Starting to think it's a hopeless cause... One more thing to add... While rooted I installed a boot manager to see if it would go into a deeper boot recovery mode at restart but it didn't...
I honestly wish I could swap out Kinguser for something else. SCR ScreenRecorder Pro doesn't seem to realize that there is root, even after granting it permission through Kinguser, which leads me to believe either I'm not actually rooted, or KingUser is garbage.
Does anyone have the firmware for this phone?
No answers? Nothing?
Did you guys try $su reboot disemmcwp in a terminal after rooting? That's always the next step on ZTE phones.
Going to try that now... Can't find a copy of the firmware anywhere however. Worries me in case I need to reflash
I'd like to get this phone rooted too I've only been only to temproot by kingroot

Just tried it myself, but after it's done rebooting, the root's still gone.
Edit: I've noticed that the XDA Labs app seems to think this is a ZTE Blade. Perhaps I might have some luck there?
