I've got other post started but there confusing the hell outta me. I'm use to one-click.
My question is...with my phone coming outta the box with a unlocked bootloader,is it possible to gain root with king root or any other one click method? It's confirmed.... My phone is unlocked. Would it hurt to try king root???

Hey!... How are you guys?... I've used KingRoot to root my XperiaZultra. It works fine and awesome, rooting with one click. But when the new update rolled out (5.1 lollipop) for the Xperia Z family. The update can't be installed? How can I install the new update for my XperiaZultra?

Firstly don't create multiple threads to elicit more responses. Maintain the forum etiquettes.
Secondly install xzu dual recovery by nut and then after flashing xzu dual recovery boot into ur desired recovery and flash super su zip
You chose to use Kingroot, which is somewhat controversial tool since it's closed source, and it is, or was, "allegedly" sending info to a server in China, but we don't know. Since it's closed source, we have no idea what it does to your device while it's rooting.
Rooting with an unlocked bootloader is really easy by fastbooting. It takes only a minute, and it's the native way of doing it. You chose to use this more dangerous method instead, even though I and others have mentioned the proper way of doing it several times.
The main reason I wanted root was to gain access to my sd card. I have that now. I could really care less about roms and Yodakernels and ftfsxyz flare files and exploding cpus terminals. Crazy time consuming stuff. Thanx tho. I got what I need

Alright, then all is good I recommend that you update to 5.1.1 when you get it though (or you can manually do it), since the memory leaks have been patched, and the system is much more stable.

Sent from my C6802 using XDA Free mobile app
Just use the installer if you aren't familiar with fastboot.
From NUT's thread:
1. Make sure you have USB debugging turned ON.
2. Download XZ/ZL/TabZ/Z1/ZU-lockeddualrecovery[VERSION]-BETA.installer.zip from http://nut.xperia-files.com
Windows:
3. Unpack at C: or somewhere you will remember!
4. Navigate to the resulting directory and look for install.bat, double click it to run;

Yep. Initial root requires a computer.
If you really need to root right now, download Odin and CF-Root on your phone and ask someone to borrow their computer or use a public computer. Move the files to the computer and root it in less than one minute and you're done!
i have a few questions maybe you guys can help... so here we go:
when you root with odin, it unlocks the phone giving you su right. does this also change your rom?
how is the launcher different than the rom? difference between flashing rom and kernal?
last one... when you install a custom rom, can you delete it if there are bugs to reinstall a different one or use the stock?

I've got a SGP311 which I've rooted before but have problems with after a while. The rooting is successful and I can do stuff for a while. Then the boot loops start and don't stop until I do a full restore. I've searched for a way to fix this but not come up with anything useful so far. What should I be doing after rooting to stop these boot loops? Which su should I be using?
All help appreciated.

Use Sony Mobile's Update Service to re-install stock firmware.
Use DooMLoRD's XTZ Easy Rooting Toolkit to gain root access.
I use and recommend Chainfire's SuperSU Pro.

You should only have one SU installed at a time otherwise you may get conflicts.

For users who don't have one and I assume recovery is lost with a fresh firmware flash via FlashTool.

Yeah I took the plunge less than a week of having it
But I used Sony's website instead of FlashTool.
I had to upgrade to 314 to see if some of the problems I had with the Z2 were addressed. So far so Good, the double-tap to wake feature was spotty at best and now it works like a charm. Now to see if the proximity issue still exists...(The screen would stay off like it should on calls but the digitizer would still function!)
How can I add adb?
I'm guessing you're running the root but it's not finding adb, right?
If you don't have adb I'm sure it's on Google or these forums in hundreds of locations.
After you have it just put the contents of the root in the same directory as adb is.

Who said you had to install recovery?
Recovery was recommended because new firmware had problems with supersu 2.01 and you had to flash binaries from recovery...now that's history so there's no need for recovery...
Just root device and that's all...

You can try the root tool and let us know if it works. No harm trying. It'll fail to root at the worst.

I just used ERT v11 & tr.apk v3 to root .314 firmware. Worked on 2nd attempt mind you, basically cause I wasn't watching what I was doing lol. But it worked :victory: This was after using pc companion to update to .314 and it wiping my root on .402. But just to let you all know that ERT also works on .314
Hello, i am currently on 17.1.2.A.0.314, rooted with SuperSU with survival mode enabled. I get the update notification for 23.0.1.A.0.167, but when i download and try to install it, it says verification failed. I had recovery installed previously but i reflashed the stock firmware to remove it( i didn't wipe the data though), but still it says verification failed. Any help would be highly appreciated.

root counts as a modified system because you have the SU binary and superuser manager

You need to carry out an OTA upgrade for that to work not all carriers support OTA. And those that do may carry out checks that fail, try flashing stock UK (unbranded) .314 I know people who've had success with that one.

You might have to settle for avoiding 4.4.4 then, as I don't know how much effort devs are putting I into finding a new exploit when flashing a pre-rooted rom is so trivial.
Ok i'll try that, but if it fails too then i won't update to 4.4.4.

Okay. Sorry for multiple post but it seems like when I get a few answers,people get disinterested and all I hear are crickets...
So I got root through kingroot. All I need now is twrp or cwm etc.... I tried flashify and it said no partition found. I used in app selections to try and flash. It said I could still flash zips. So,I guess what I need is a kernel that has recovery baked in...no problem finding one,just can't find one that's zipped unless one of yall fine peeps could post a direct link. Once I get a kernel installed I'll flash supersu over kingroot. Which is all in a language that looks like my 6 year old took a pen and started scribbling. Thanx guys

If you're looking for a kernel with an in-build recovery, try this one. It has both Clockwork Mod and Team Win Recovery.
Kingroot? Why didn't you just flash a custom kernel? Then you would've had recovery and root now.
My build number is 270. It says those are for 570 and 510
