Xperia Z2- Root Lost After Factory Restore - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Unable to unroot and root issues!
Hi there,
So I recently performed a factory reset on my sony xperia z2 while it was still rooted with kingo root to update my phone. I realized this was a mistake and I should've removed the root first using the kingo software (kinguser) before performing the factory reset. Now I keep getting the following message from root checker (Sorry! root access is not properly installed on this device). I've tried everything to remove the root and reinstall root (Kingo Root fails every time) but nothing seems to work. Is there a way to manually remove all kingo root files? Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thank Youu

If no files needed use sony pc companion to fix z2 it'll put a fresh system. But keep in mind I'll erase all

Hmm...a simple factory reset does not update the phone, though it will wipe all your settings, basically returning your phone to its factory state. What version of Android were you on when rooted? What version are you on now? Did you take an over-the-air (OTA) update?

[Q] Unable to unroot after Update

My phone was rooted using Super One click prior to updating to 4.1.57. I updated my Atrix without unrooting. The update took, but now I'm unable to unroot my phone. No mods were installed. Only Titanium back up. Please help. How do I remove superuser? I tried using Super One Click, but it states "running psneuter."
I had to do a factory reset after updating my rooted phone in order to get all the apps that I had frozen with TI backup. The reset also removed the superuser app icon.
Thanks, but factory reset failed to remove super user for me.
root atrix
to my feel exactly the same with my atrix and not to restore it to values of manufactures have been able to remove the root icon.
Thank you if you find the solution the make me know and I hare the same with you

[Q] GoTab10

Hi all, i've got for my little brother a GoTab10BK running 4.2.2
The problem is i cannot root it.. i've tried all the possible ways.
The thing is that the tablet by default after a factory reset and cache cleared from stock recovery, if i check the root status it says "ROOTED" , but i cannot make supersu or superuser to gain root access. With some tools like SRSRoot or oneclick says that is rooted and still no luck. I tried with options like unroot .. all i get is the tablet restarted and i can do it again and again and again, it will say it's rooted.
All i need root is to move some games and apps into extSD.
Does anyone have a clue if is something i can do about it?

[Q] Partially Rooted on Xperia SP after factory reset

Hi, I rooted my Xperia SP yesterday via TowelRoot and everything was great. I used SuperSU which was fine but I decided to factory reset as I wanted to root with a custom rom which ended up an awful idea. Now my phone will not work will SuperSU, root explorers but TowelRoot still somehow 'works'.
Any ideas on how to either completely remove the root or completely root?
anyone?
Could someone please help me with this?

[Q] Unable to uninstall Kinguser(installed as part of Kingroot)

I tried to root my phone with Kingroot. I have an Xperia Z Ultra C6806 with build 14.5.A.0.270. The root was unsuccessful and now, instead of being able to delete bloatware, I got Kinguser installed as a system app. I suspect root didn't work because of the recent update to the Z Ultra. Please help

You got many ways to do this, restore your phone again, flash ftf, root with supersu, unlocked your bootloader....
I tried to root with SuperSU but I wasn't able to. Can you give me a guide to follow or help me some other way?
If you can get root with kingroot, use another program to root again, I know it sounds odd, but I managed to get supersu installed and updated by doing that. Kingroot uses kinguser as the same thing, but it can be switched.

When I try and install SuperSU after, it fails to update. I don't think it becomes truly rooted. But then again, kinguser became a system app.

Can you go to recovery...?
I can't get to recovery.

URGENT!!!

I have an LG G3 32gb D85521A but I can't root it with the 5.0 firmware it came with. I need to downgrade to KitKat in order to root it, but I don't know which KDZ to use.
Which one is for the 32Gb version and what happens if I use the wrong one?
At this moment I have
Europe D85530B_00_1217.kdz
Greece D85510L_00.kdz
Spain D85521A_00.kdz
The way I see it, the Spanish seems to be the one I need (D85521A matches my model), but what happens after I root the phone and need to upgrade back to 5.0? Will LG Suite install its Spanish counterpart of 5.0?
GOOD NEWS!!!
I've managed to root my LG G3 without the need to downgrade to KitKat. PurpleDrake's method helped me do that and Root Check confirmed it, but:
1) I've followed PurpleDrake's instruction and went online to install SuperSU and it said something about a binary update, that there is another root in the system that prevents SuperSU from updating and that I should uninstall it in order to proceed.
2) In one of my attempts to root my phone I've installed Kingroot but it failed to root it. (there were some ads and when I scrolled down there was something about a memory boost and a button TRY IT. It required internet connection so I gave up. The root didn't work so I've uninstalled the app, or so I thought.
After PurpleDrake's root I've performed a factory reset to see if SuperSU stays in place, but instead of that I saw Kingroot stuck in my system.
Is there a way to totally get rid of Kingroot and keep SuperSU even after a factory reset?
Is Kingroot the program that prevents SuperSU from updating, or PurpleDrake conflict with it?
