Hello i need help rooting the sony xperia z2 23.0.1.A.1.200
The fastest and safest root guide available?
Will the survival mode in Superuser app function work if i downgrade to kitkat and update over OTA?
.200 is 5.1.1, and there's no root for this one.
You will need to downgrade to .546 or any other 5.0.2 rom, root that version, install recovery, then flash a pre-rooted .200 (or better .232) rom
or just follow this guide here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...ck-d6502-03-23-4-0-546-completeguide-t3171219
good luck, and always remember to do a backup first

Okay i have done that and i have root on 5.1.1 on d6503.
But i cant install busybox, and i cant mount /system to read/write ?
I have also seen the busybox app that installs without root what are your thoughts on that?
please explain both questions, thank you

To have a root install prerooted firmware and than install SE Linux apk and set option to permissive and you would have r/w capabillities.

Okay i am on a prerooted firmware, but i have seen some information about bricking my phone when installing that apk.
is there another safer way, for example installing the busybox [non root] app from google play store?
Dont worry you will not bricked phone

I use "busybox on rails" to install busybox, works great for me.
as for mounting system, use ES file explorer with root mode enabled, should work fine. I never used any app to change SELinux on my device and I can write to system partition normally.

I have installed SELinux and gave SU access and changed to permissive but no effect. I also installed busybox on rails but that doesn't install.
Have you installed nuts duel recovery? it disabled RIC making the system partition rw.

Hello Guys...
Just rooted my phone, using this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=711907
But after root, tried to install Set CPU, but it says there is no root access....
Is there a way to confirm, if the device is rooted?
When i launch the superuser application, nothing is shown in the program, can only set preferences for the app....
What do i do wrong?
Did you install busybox? I forgot to do it and Apps could not access root but I realised my mistake and opened the busybox installer app
Busybox is just saing "waiting" and that the phone isn't rooted...
Is it neede to re-flash the phone with the guide?

Busy Box is something that you install on your Droid to give you some additional handy LINUX / UNIX based commands. You need Busy Box installed because some commands are not available to you and you made need them for some root level tasks.
As for downloading it should be available in market!!

it is rooted.... i can clean dalvic through cwm recovery but cant gain root permissions I think that part of the stock root manager or something like that is left on the system that denies root permission to other apps but don't know what to do, I have million settings and phone numbers and apps and other stuff that I don't want to lose but titanium backup is not working either..... If I wanted I could have flashed the same rom (it's still on the sd) and I think that would fix it but I don't want another flash if possible

Hey, Ok so i updated my Huawei u8650 to android 4.4.2 and something went wrong with my root. I can open superuser and it shows my binary and all that and it says im rooted but when i go to a app that requires root access like terminal emulator for example and i type in the command su. nothing happens it just goes to the next line. and i tried to mount my SD card partition in link2sd and it said that the script cant be created because its not allowed to su.
I thought it could be that superuser just wasn't allowing permissions but i open superuser and there's no apps, no logs or anything. I checked my settings and they're all fine and i even tried to use SuperSU instead and i still got the same thing. There's no prompt to allow access either. I don't know if the apps are just not trying to get root access or what? No app can get root permission and i need to get this fixed so i can fix some bugs on the rom. Please Help.
Thanks to all who attempt or do help. Ill be sure to hit thanks for u.

i rooted by SRSroot first then first got the error then i unrooted and re-rooted by using the kingo root method but still received the same error. they are both windows programs u can run for root on multiple devices. They use USB debugging to root then device reboots and bam your rooted.
i used those methods because i tried to just flash the binary files through cwm recovery and it never actually installed into system. The two methods above installed binary and rooted my device but i cant give root access to any apps including superuser or supersu.
If anyone can help me with this it would be appreciated because i hit a wall and don't know what to do. No apps can get root permissions and i cant fix my play store, WiFi, speakers or theme chooser until the root is properly working because the methods to fix those bugs need root to function. so please if anyone has knowledge or any idea why i have root but cant get access please help me out.

If there is a custom recovery available for your device I would recommend flashing that and then flashing the latest SuperSU.zip package in recovery. Part of the problem is the orginal Superuser (by ChainsDD) while excellent at the time is now extremely outdated and no longer really be maintained, as a result make sure you flash a Superuser package compatible with Android 4.4.2 such as the latest version of SuperSU.

make sur you putted all the folder "mrw" and not the contant of the folder on the phone memory not External Sdcard
and all the contant of the folder are like the picture in the attechment
and yes the script you are about to run will remove all kingroot apps and replace superuser by SuperSU
Meh, it didn't work... seems like it works but then Kingroot suddenly stopped working and the phone reboots automatically.
Okay, I FINALLY DID IT, thank you really much appreaciated!
One more question. Can I install Cyanogenmod 12/11 Nightly from now? I mean, should I do anything else? (I got Lollipop and the phone rooted) or just the classic steps?

When the phone rebooted does kinguser still there do still have root ?! If yes uninstall supersu and run the script again or if you don't have kinguser and root any more =>
Try again from the begining but without installing supersu from play store just install kingroot root and run the script and if the script tels you that some files doesn't exist or replace click enter and let him contunies
You just have to try again if it doesn't it will work in the end i've been on different situations

Good for you
If you want to flash cm12/11 you need an unlocked bootloader and custom recovery like TWRP
and then you have two options one is go back to kitkat stock and root and unlockbootloader and flash recovery then flash cm or just flash cm12/11 over stock 5.0.2 and flash kitkat bootstack after

Excellent. You use XDA guide to Root and install TWRP? You don't have brick?
After couple nights of pain, finally installed 8.0.0. I have TWRP 3.2.1-0 and Magisk 15.3.
The main problem: ROOT doesn't work. Root check says phone's rooted, and apps request and get root permissions, but in fact there's no one. For example, root uninstaller can't remove any system app. Tried lesser TWRP (3.1.1), tried SuperSU instead of Magisk. SuperSU doesn't even work, says "SU binnary occupied".
Also one problem: WW-15.0405.1712.83 doesn't want install through TWRP, says "no file contexts". But you can install it through stock recovery, it just bypasses this check.
To get stock recovery, you can do the trick: install SuperSU, boot system, open the app and pick "Unroot" option (it will offer you to clear recovery and boot). Now you get stock recovery and can install firmware.
UPD: Was wrong. Root works, but neither Magisk nor SuperSU gives RW permission on system folder. That's the main problem now. Tried updating permissions on system folders manually through file managers (Root Explorer, etc.). Tried updating through terminal: from adb shell and from recovery. Nothing works. Folders are marked RW now, permissions are right, but apps like Root Uninstaller still can't do anything.

Well, yes. As said at the end of the last message, phone in fact appears to be rooted. I have access to /root folder and apps now ask for super-user permissions.
But some apps, like Root Uninstaller, doesn't work... However you can manually delete unwanted .apk from /system folder, it's possible.

Hi,
Can anyone help me with my phone ZE554kL on how to root this or link me to a guide? Thanks in advance.
"Continue reading only if interested what happen."
I've never done this before and I just want to do root because my internal storage was wiped out when I was backing up all my files to PC. Windows explorer stops responding while transferring files then after the not responding issue, my internal storage is empty and when I checked my phone all the files is gone (photos, videos, PDFs).
I tried different android recovery software in windows and everytime i do a scan, i always ending up being asked by the software to root my phone so it can scan through to my internal storage.
Since my files was lost, i never touch my phone since then so nothing will be written on internal storage that could take away the chance of recovering my files.
