Ok this is my problem.
I have the latest firmware on my Mini and I have installed it trough PC Companion.
Now I would like to root my phone.
1. Is it possible to root with latest firmware? (4.0.1.A.0.283)
2. What guide should I follow to do it the right way?
If I'm correct I need to unlock bootloader first but then what shall I do? The guides I have been reading here seems to be for older firmwares and I don't wanna brick my phone.
Sorry if I posted at the wrong place.
Thanks in advance

Should be able to unlock the bootloader with the testpoint / s1tool method mentioned here.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1285285
After you get the booloader unlocked, you can flash an insecure kernel or boot.img and then you can root your phone with superoneclick or similar..
When you got root, go to market and get Superuser on the device. Be sure to update su binary in the app. The app will also tell you that you got root.
Then you can flash the kernel.sin from your FW back to the phone in fastboot mode, and you now have a rooted phone with a secure kernel.

Hello guys. I have a problem with my Z2. Recently and unfortunately i have updated to 6.0.1 and now i want root access on my phone to install viper4android but i couldn't find any solution. I will give all the information and you can suggest me what to do.
Phone: Sony Xperia Z2
Model: D6503
Build Number: 23.5.A.0.575
Kernel: 3.4.0-perf-g43a728
Bootloader: Not unlocked but in service menu shows it can be unlockable (however official sony site doesn't show my phone to get the code)
What should I do in this case?
If I need to downgrade, I am okay with 5.1.1 but I don't know how to downgrade with locked bootloader.
If this is the case how do i downgrade?
Is there anyway to unlock bootloader at the moment for sony devices?
Is there any root method for 6.0.1 or will be soon for Z2?
Anything could work please help..
PS: English is not my native sorry for mistakes. Thank you all.
Another topic with this question.
So, for downgrade, you don't need unlocked bootloader, just use Flashtool program, install drivers for device and Flashmod and flash FTF for your device model.
For now, no way to root Android 6 with locked bootloader.
You can always unlock the bootloader, once in service menu is positive status (Yes).
If you want to unlock bootloader, use official metod for example, but don't need for this (unlock bootloader, flash custom kernel and ....), , only to install sound mod.
That is the problem, look at official sony web site, my device is not on the list for bootloader unlock. So can you offer me a guide how to downgrade to 5.1.1, a noob friendly guide.
1. Download and install the program flashtool by Androxyde. - http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php
2. Install drivers from installation folder /Drivers - Driver for model Xperia and Flashmod drivers.
3. Download FTF file for YOUR MODEL DEVICE with 5.1.1 from here for example:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2759934
and copy to folder with Flashtool/ Firmwares
4. Start Flashtool and click on Flash icon.
5. Choose Flashmod (not Fastboot), and find the FTF, that you download before with 5.1.1
6. Follow the guide in the program Flashtool and all will be the OK,

Hey man,first,you need to downgrade to KK (.314 it´s the best one) and then root and install recovery,then update to LP .232 or .264 and then go to MM,follow the instructions that Monipeev gave to you (but choose .314 fw) and then follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...ck-d6502-03-23-4-0-546-completeguide-t3171219 Hope you get it
Bro i don't want MM right now. I just want root access so if its 5.1.1 i am okay with that. Monipeev i will try your method and notify you about the result tomorrow.

Okay after this how do i root the easiest way? kingroot one click apk ? or you suggest something else for locked bootloader bro ?
Go through the steps of Root compilation .264 Android 5.1.1, with a version of the application Kingroot that uses the author of the video.
After root success, replace Kingroot with SuperSu.
Root Android 5.1.1, .264

it was about drivers. i have installed all of the drivers (even those i don't need) in flashtool folder. also windows installed semc and somc drivers by itself and i have successfully flashed. i hope i dont get bootloop because its been 2 minutes and im still waiting for it come to menu btw i didn't wipe the userdata and applog while flashing.
Edit: just a last thing how do i replace kingroot with supersu, i can google it but since you are guiding me through this
Edit2: okay no bootloop awesome, now the only thing left to do is rooting. thank you so much for your help bro. i will notice you if i have a problem again. i hope this thread will be helpful for others too like me
I think if you follow this guide, you will finish ok:
http://www.w0lfdroid.com/2015/05/How-to-Remove-Replace-KingUser-KingRoot-with-SuperSU.html?m=1
there is a program called superSuMe apk. does it work ? any idea ?
I'm sorry, but I have no experience with this app.
At least that is described in its description.
wow now i get ''unfortunately the process com.android.media has stopped'' message and phone keeps resetting..
Edit: i think i will reflash with wipe options..
Surely it would be better.
its done

Make sure all drivers are installed and flash stock ftf using flashtool available at xda for z2. If flash tool is giving an error please tell

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
2 nd solution - using fastboot (adb, terminal, manual, harder, but less likely can go wrong if you follow steps)
https://unofficialtwrp.com/huawei-p20-lite-root-twrp/
just skip step of rooting.
but you need unlocked bootloader:
https://unofficialtwrp.com/how-to-unlock-bootloader-on-huawei-phone-2019-working/
when you flash twrp you need to flash stock ROM via TWRP recovery
download android oreo, ANE-L01C432B144 – 8.0.0.144 – Europe
https://www.getdroidtips.com/huawei-p20-lite-b144-oreo-update/
open TWRP recovery and transfer downloaded stock ROM in phone and flash via TWRP
