Hey, first of all i would like to apologise if this is posted in the wrong section, its my first post and even though i have used XDA many many time, i have never really caught onto the posting side of it!
I recently obtained a Xperia Ray of a friend and it was running gingerbread, so first of all i updated to 4.0.4A and rooted my device, and then i installed busybox ect, then after looking at the service on the phone (*#*#7378423#*#*) i found out that my bootloader was Unlockable.
as i wished to install a custom ROM, i have been looking at custom ROM's for LockedBL's and then of course to install half of them i have had to install CWM but this is where my problem begins! i have not been able to successfully install CWM via various methods, including the X-Parts App, Xrecovery PC Application, can anybody help me?
Thanks in advance,
Liam
(Again i apologies if posted in the wrong place, dont shout, im a noob i know :laugh: )
I can't help you with your problem, but if your phone is built before 2012 week 11 (if I remember correctly) you can unlock it using the wotan service, despite the non unlockable status. You can check the build date on the sticker, below the battery.

Hi all, I drunkly ran into the sea with my Nexus 5 in my pocket so that is long gone.
Next week I'm thinking about investing in an xperia z ultra, however I have seen and heard of many of the methods used to root it will capture your IMEI number and use it for malicious reasons.
I was looking at following this guide (presuming my phone software/firmware will even be compatible) and just want to clarify it works fine with no danger.

This is the link to the phone I'm looking at buying

If I cannot root the phone, I will not be buying it as adblock is a must for me, and if xposed works then I'll be delighted also.
Can someone please help clear up my confusion?
Thanks!

That would work, or there is a dual recovery installer(CWM and TWRP)that you could use if you want recovery. Whichever you use let the phone update to .108 firmware then run it, if you unlock your bootloader be sure to back up your TA partition beforehand.

As the ever helpful @adfurgerson said. EasyRoot is the best tool or [NUT]'s recovery installer. They both use the same exploit.
Any other questions just ask, after searching
Thanks guys :fingers-crossed:
For me the easiest one I use is the Dual Recovery installation files. It has an option to root and install dual recovery all in one.
I used Flashtool for rooting, few clicks and done.
Then i flashed dualrecovery and GPe ROM :good:
Hello,
I've been using these forums for years to root all my devices so thanks to all for the hard work.
I just want to know how I can root my Xperia Tablet Z SGP321. It's currently on Lollipop 5.0.2 (10.6.a.0.454).
I've looked everywhere and I can't find anything to simply root it, all I can find is for previous firmware and for other models.
Can someone please send me a link? My bootloader is is currently locked but an unlock is allowed so I can do that if required (did it with my Z2 and my Z3 so I know how).
Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you

Strange that you found nothing.
This firmware can be rooted with rootkitXperia | KingRoot or Vroot apps. I recommend the first one, as two other are chinese.

Thank you so much, I'll give this a go tomorrow.
I've never rooted a tablet before, only phones so I just wanted to make 100% sure about the build and stuff.
Just one more thing, the page says it's for 5.0, will it be ok on 5.0.2 or does the 0.2 not matter?
Edit: Ok, so I ran the rootkit and everything succeeded but now it still says there is no root access when I use Root Check and I can't run SuperSU as there is apparently no binary installed for it.
Any idea what the problem might be?
Edit 2: Ok nevermind, I finally managed to get it sorted. I followed the guide located here http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...ide-how-to-root-xperia-tablet-z-lp-5-t3253178 and all is well.
Thanks for the help
Hi, I'm pretty new to the android scene, I've looked for a few days if there is a possible way to unlock bootloader on an Xperia M4 Aqua 2306, the issue is my phone has Bootloader unlock allowed = No and didn't actually find if there is an actual way to do this.
Found a few threads talking about how to unlock the bootloader but it seems from some posts that it's not possible to unlock, I was wondering if anyone could help me figure it if there is any possibility to unlock since my phone is quite slow and would love to breath some life to it, any help would be greatly appreciated!

the onli way i was able to root my 2306 was to downgrade with flashtool to lolipop the vertion 26.1.A.1.112 ...the onli one old enough to root with kingroot the onli app i found to root lolipop ....but then none of the tutorial i read got me back to the last update without loosing root and aving to deal with the 100 of preinstalled app .....tryed to let it at lolipop but the phone is now extremly sloooooow
was able to get to recovery but then after looking at all custom rom .....they all need to be install with fastboot and they all stated that you need unlock bootloader so i stop trying the phone is not realy worth it anyway
Hello everyone, i have searched throughly for an xperia z2a rooting method, but i only found those one click rooting apps, which i want to avoid 100% after reading something about being malware/spyware. So, avoid answer containing those methods. Back on the main topic, i unlocked the bootloader, but i cant seem to find a safe method to root my phone, which i want to use it as a kali linux device. The only pre rooted rom i found was taken down from mega. Any help would be appreciated.
