In Kinguser there is a option to unroot.
Some devices cannot be updated even after you unroot, and you will need to reflash stock...
thanks and will it have no knox tripped? so i can have still warranty for the device
and how can i reflash the stock must i install custom recovery or something or can i do it in the official recovery wipe everything and go to bootloader

You can just reflash it with Odin and it's very easy to do. And it will not wipe your phone a reflash.
Btw there's a thanks button

I unlocked the bootloader following Sony's tutorial and now im just stuck on how to root it. From what i can tell 23.0.1.A.4.30 isn't rootable, am I able to downgrade my firmware then root?
Sorry, only just got the Tab
I'm in the same boat.
Need root for this latest firmware, preferably without having to unlock the bootloader.

I've managed to do it. It was quite straight forward in the end.
You need to flash a 4.4.2 FTF file with Flashtool, then root that with EasyRoot and install DualRecovery. Then you can flash the latest 4.4.4 pre-rooted zip and voila! :good:

*EDIT* found what I needed in kulvertti's thread
"Just received my new Xperia Z2 today. It comes with 4.4.4 already (23.0.1.A.4.30)...can you please post link to download the earlier 4.4.2 FTF file? I can't find it on Sony's site. Thanks! :good:"
Is there an optimal ftf for running cm11/12. Also, what is the best way to find out what firmware you are running? Is it displayed somewhere?

To find out your firmware, go to Settings, About Tablet, then scroll down to your "Build number"....this is your firmware version. Don't know the answer to your first question, since I'm on STOCK (rooted) and not CM. sorry....

Can you link me to the stuff you used? I've tried searching for a FTF but I cant find any for mine, which is the SGP512. Can I just flash a SGP511 since they're both WiFi?

If I accept an OTA from TMobile will I lose the root?

Yes. They give you Android update. When update start they found that your Android is rooted or you install custom recovery or your system modified by rooting it then they abort ota update.

If you want ota update then unroot your Android and flash stock recovery. If you install ota update then it chances to bootloop and bricked device.
I agree with the above comment. If you want to OTA, you have to unroot and flash stock. I tried OTA after root and the install failed, giving me the dead android dude. Didn't brick my phone, but didn't update either.

I just wanted to start over again with a fresh and clean ZU firmware without any prerooted method or stuff. Surprisingly it worked on the newest available firmware from sony.

install kingroot und root your ZU -> Link
replace kingroot with supersu -> Link
that's it
Tested working great. Easy. Thank you!!:good:

I am sorry for the noobie question...will Root destroy my TA partition? I want to keep it intact but only want to have root so i can install Titanium Backup..i don't need custom recovery (for now at least)...
Also after I rooted, can i still update the OS using OTA?

as @mingkee said rooting your phone won't hurt your TA partition. you can even make a backup from TA partition after rooting your ZU. You will loose your TA partition only if you are going to unlock your bootloader. you don't have to do that for rooting. If you like to use a custom kernel (tap to wake, battery performance, ...) you have to unlock your bootloader but be sure to backup your TA partition first
Which version of kingroot did you guys use.
I used 4.1.0
It just goes to 70% for me and says root failed...
Worked for me too

Just deinstall su, reboot, install kingroot 4.1.x and root again. Then the script should work.

I have the 5017a variant of the Pixi3(4.5) running Lollipop. Kingo doesn't work, nor any other one click solutions I have found. Not even the Mobile Upgrade S software has the phone listed.

I don't mind downgrading to a kitkat rom, but I have been unable to find that either.
Does anyone know of any way to root this phone, or did I end up buying one of those obscure models that will never be rooted?

Yes. I rooted it once with Kingroot. However on reboot you have to fix root permissions again. Just run Kingroot again and it will reroot the device. This with a LG-K520DY. BUT....
I must warn you that once rooted you can never clean the system of the root files. Even if you unroot the phone with Kingroot software, the system is not clean and you cannot get OTA updates. I did fix this problem by downloading LG Bridge from the LG support site and updating that way. I now have an unrooted phone and I don't recommend rooting this particular model because of all the difficulties LG has created around it.
