Hi everyone i have unlocked bootloader but i can't root my phone on android system or pc.

Where is the topic?

In General sections of this forum. You can use this topic for example: https://forum.xda-developers.com/m4-aqua/general/root-t3421932
After rooting you can install via TWRP, SkyMelon v.8 kernel, you will see difference in speed and smoothness of your phone with this kernel .

Thanks My dear but thats not adb thats fastboot so i can't reach the fastboot

Yes rooting from this topic is via ADB, fastboot command is executed via ADB shell. What is your exact problem? Maybe you don't have properly installed ADB drivers on your PC and this is the reason to not have connection between phone and PC. To root your phone you need unlocked bootloader of phone - there is no other way for Marshmallow.
To have successfully connection via ADB, enable USB Debbuging via Developer menu and then you need to power off your phone, press volume down button (or volume up, I don't remember, check over internet) and while holding of button, connect usb cable. Then you should have connection with ADB shell.
One more thing - before switch off the phone you can check connection and should Approve connection between phone and PC, message on screen of phone will appear.

But my friend i said that before i can not reach fastboot. Cuz my phone don't recognize usb while turned off. Don't blinking red led while turned off.
Sorry for my english

In this case wipe and reflash Marshmallow with Flashtool, this will install original kernel. After this boot your phone normally, enable USB debugging and then you will be able to reach fastboot

No access to bootloader or recovery, but device works. What's going on here?

The device works properly. I was able to unlock the bootloader using flashtool. The problem is, I can't get it into fastboot mode. I hold volume up, plug in the usb cable, it does a quick flash from amber to green, then nothing. From what I'm reading, it's supposed to stay lit blue. So something isn't right here, but it doesn't seem like the steps can be screwed up.
As a point of reference, I tried re-flashing the factory FTF, and even installing a different one. The results are the same. Device boots fine, but I can't access recovery or bootloader(most importantly).
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Yes, of course. Using the flashtool does not work, neither does using adb reboot-bootloader.

Thread closed until the OP checks his PMs and tells me which device he has
Install drivers from c:\flashtool\drivers
and choose fastboot, flashmode and z drivers
When you unlocked using flashtool did you get the code from sony?
Also, dial *#*#7378423#*#* goto service info and configuration, what does the last line say exactly

I'm on a mac, I got my unlock code from sony, and the last line says "Bootloader unlocked: Yes"
I can try it on a pc, but the problem isn't the method, it's the device. ADB correctly sends the reboot-bootloader command, it just doesn't get to the bootloader. I get a black screen. Same for when I try and access recovery. It's just really odd that the device still works this way.
Would trying this on a pc with the drivers listed be any different? I'm at work now and I can use my PC instead of my macbook if it'll yield different results.

What were you expecting? There is no bootloader screen on the phone. You get a black screen when in fastboot mode, all commands are done from a command window on the computer.
Have you installed a recovery? If not then you cannot enter it. There is no factory or stock recovery accessible on xperia phones.
I would suggest using a Linux or windows machine, I have heard of nothing but problems using macs.
Is there any way I can reflash the factory bootloader with an ftf? I've done two so far and it hasn't seemed to help anything.
To my understanding, when the device is off, you hold volume up and then plug the usb cable in. This should make the led stay solid blue, but mine just blinks amber then green real quick, and nothing happens.
Can someone confirm that I'm not crazy here? It's not like this is my first time modifying an android device. I've been using android since the G1, I work as an IT manager, I use windows, mac, and ubuntu linux regularly, I've compiled my own roms from aosp...So this is really making me nuts!

The entire process worked fine up until trying to get into fastboot mode. Everyone is saying I should see a blue led, but that's not happening, and it doesn't respond to fastboot commands on my mac, and the pc installer doesn't install the drivers. I've tried searching for the driver files, but I'm not having any luck. I don't want an installer, I just want to manually select the windows driver files and force it to install.
Windows 8.1, latest version of flashtool, my device just shows up in device manager as c6833. When I tell it to search for drivers, it doesn't find anything even after having run the driver installer. Is there a website or a thread on xda that has just the driver files for the z ultra rather than a full installer?
Progress: I've pulled the driver files out of the installer. I'm going to try and get the device recognized on my pc in a bit.

Not sure what you mean, you have not altered the bootloader, just unlocked it. Also, flashing FTF's do not touch the bootloader

Yes, phone off, keep volume up pressed and attach USB cable (Volume down would be for flashmode) I think you have issues with the drivers on a mac

The installer with flashtool is quite good, you can choose which files to use,
Just pick the fastboot, flashmode and Z drivers

Just curious did u manage to make ur phone work cuz I got similar problem with recovery(TWRP) it sometimes only show it rest of time it's black screen and in that black screen I can tap on reboot to system or poweroff. It's annoying sometimes cuz I need to flash some important stuff.

PLS HELP! Cant get ADB Developer mode after flash. SGP312 stock FTF lollipop help

My end goal is stock lolipop rooted.
I botched a flash and now I cant get developer mode / ADB working.
When I started, my tablet was stock ROM, towelroot. I connect tablet in developer mode, flashed dual recovery and everything was great. I copied the pre-rooted lolipop ROM to my SD card and flashed it. HOWEVER instead of turning off the device, I selected reboot from recovery. This resulted in boot loop.
SOOOO, I figured no worries, just flash old ROM and try again. So did this:installed Androxyde Flashtool
opened XperiFirm
downloaded 1276-8392 and 1274-8801 (I've tried the rest using both ROMs btw)
Tools>Bundler>Create>Selected folder>selected SGP312 for device
For branding I entered the above ie 1276-8392
For version I entered the ver ie 10.5.A.230
Flashmode>checked boxes to wipe everything​
The flash goes through without a hitch. Under about tablet, I see
Model : SGP312
Android Ver : 4.4.2
Kernel : 3.4.0-perf-g32ce454, [email protected]#1
Build Number : 10.5.A.0.230​
I activate USB debugging and unknown sources, connect to USB and Flashtool returns: Device connected with USB debugging turned off
I went into device manager and found the MTP driver. Also of note, the device ID is: USB\VID_0FCE&PID_5194&REV_0228
I downloaded Sony's ADB drivers, tried to manually update device driver and windows7x64 kicked back driver is not for your device.
I edited the INF to include the hardware ID exactly as it appears in device manager and tried again. This time windows let me load the driver. It shows up in device manager as 'Sony sa0107 ADB Interface Driver'
HOWEVER, Flashtool is still giving me the same MTP message and if I cmd prompt "adb devices" I get nada.
Is there a way to verify developer mode on the tablet? What else can I try? The tablet gives me a notification when I connect 'usb debugging mode connected, ready to install software'
Thanks!

I had a very similar problem in 2014. I do not want to discourage you, but at the end I send it back to sony for a repair. They gave me a new tablet and said that the mainboard was broken.
Nevertheless, there is a thread in Sony cross device general, where people like you end up: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1849170
You can try and search for help there, maybe you have more luck then me.
Its odd... ADB was working and stopped after flash. Is this what you had or just no connection from the start?
Sorry, I misread your post. I thought your tablet would not start and you could not get flashmode working. Sorry for that.
What you could try:
1. Be sure you actually activated USB debugging in developer options
2. When you connect the device, you should get a prompt on the tablet to allow usb debugging from that computer
Maybe try "revoke USB debugging authorisations" in developer options and reconnect
3. Install the drivers from flashtool/drivers/ or install sony pc companion. Delete your old driver from device manager.
4. try switching between MTP and MSC mode in usb connectivity menu
Since ADB worked before it was probably no driver problem. Now you cannot be sure. Most probably you tapped away the said prompt of allowing usb debugging when connecting.
If none of this helps I don't know of anything more. Maybe try different usb ports or even computers.... Or try to flash again

Access Samsung A310F with broken screen over PC

Hello,
I broke my phone screen (cant see anything) but I can still hear sounds from the phone.
I tried to access it over ADB, but unfortunately it says unauthorized. I also tried booting into recovery and sending the RSA keys over adb but the phone isn't rooted so that also isn't working.
It's running Android 7.0
Is there any way to remotely access my phone? I need the Google Authenticator database or I need to be able to use it one last time over the PC or whatever.

Yes , is possible by simple enabling ADB on your device .
To Enable , you need to flash your phone with Odin with ADB enabled file .
1. Odin https://odindownload.com/download/Odin3_v3.12.3.zip
2. ADB Enabled flash file https://files.fm/u/c33vbbkf
Instruction
1. Make sure your phone is OFF
2. Put your phone in Download mode by pressing all together Vol - & Home button & Power key]
3. Connect your phone with USB and plug in PC
4.Open Odin , click on AP , choose ADB enabled file and click on Start.
Now , wait until is flashing finished and you should be able to access to your phone storage : )
Good Luck
ADB is already enabled, its just that it says "unauthorized" when I try to access it over my PC

Unable to unlock bootloader - error message in Chinese

I've waited 17 days after linking my Mi account to my Mi8L. I've unlocked more than half a dozen Xiaomi phones, so it's not new to me. However, it stops at 99% and spits out an error message in Chinese. Does anyone know what it means? https://drive.google.com/open?id=1dl6tPZdx7HfFwxQWel3hhjl9doFE5s8S
It means you haven't been using the phone for the necessary amount of time, so unlock isn't possible.
You're probably on a shop or chinese variant that need you to wait 30 days until unlocking.
Sorry for my bad english

It's strange because when I tried previously, it told me I had to wait 15 days, and I waited longer than that (I took note of the date and time).
Same with me.
Use Mi Unlock 2.3.803.10 (old version).
Works perfectly.
I do not know if you can help me, I was unlocking the Mi 8 Lite requested 15 days to wait after this period I was unlocking and to my surprise the fastboot mode when I connect the USB cable it erases and I can not unlock.
Developer options enabled, usb debugging enabled and oem unlocking also recognizes more when I log in to fastboot it shuts off

I'm not sure if you're doing it rightly. Adb works when device is on and fastboot when device is in bootloader/fastboot mode.
When you type for first time adb devices with device power on then you have to see a message from your android screen asking if you want to allow USB debugging, you have to tap on always allow and then in ok.
Provide some screenshot from your pc to see the fail.

Ok, your pc is not detecting your device connected in fastboot mode.
Try uninstalling all the drivers; those that you don´t use and those related with Xiaomi devices and install Mi PC Suite just to get installed the drivers https://mipcsuite.com open it for first time and connect it with your device on just to update drivers between both but when you´ll go to use MiFlash Unlock close it.
The USB cable used for your device is not to be shared with other devices so any of them creates a kind of data map on data wires and pc can have a sort of mistake trying to detect your device rightly.
Then to make all these steps start the process from adb as mentioned before sending with adb command to your device to bootloader/fastboot mode, this is just to confirm that pc is detecting it at both levels; adb and fastboot.

Of course, this is what´s written.
When PC detects device connected on fastboot or download mode then it holds it to avoid that it reboots while some data is transferring from and to each other.
If you put device on fastboot mode without connecting it to any PC then it will shutdown in 4 seconds aprox.
But like your case when PC detects that a device is connected but not in any transferring mode then it prompts to shutdown device.
For this I said that your PC is not recognicing it at fastboot mode, and installing again the drivers could solve the issue.

[BOOTLOADER] Fastboot is not working

Hello, trying to custom ROM my Z3CT. My bootloader should be unlockable (verified on sony webpage), but I am unable to connect tablet in fastboot mode. I have installed USB drivers via device manager, I have also downloaded platform tools. I turn on my device holding VOLUME UP+POWER and plug in USB cable. Device now shows in my PC devices as "S1 Service". It seems like there aren´t any drivers, so I tried to download USB drivers with android_winusb file. But it won´t update. When I run command "fastboot devices" nothing returns. How can I make my tablet talk to the PC? I am sure bootloader is unlockable.
Same situation here. Did you find any solutions?

Same problem here too. I do get the blue LED light, but still no response.
I think you have got not all necessary drivers installed. One way to get them is installing Flashtool http://www.flashtool.net/
Boot Z3TC up and connect it via USB. Then start Flashtool. If ADB-connection is enabled in Z3TC developer settings, Flashtool will recognize your Z3TC.
Then start c:\flashtools\drivers\Flashtool-drivers.exe - this should have been downloaded meanwhile by flashtool. Before this, you should disconnect Z3TC.
Install all drivers Flashtool-drivers.exe will offer. You will need to disable UAC to do this. Driver will stay installed after reboot and enabled UAC again.
Then Z3TC will be recognized by fastboot.

Thanks for this step by step manual. I can follow the process for the first part. Volume down and start unlocking the bootloader, but then one needs to unplug the device and press volume up and from this point on nothing happens. Tried several times and sometimes after the red led the blue one lights up, but still the process doesn't continue. (Drivers are all installed)
Any suggestions?
Are you trying to unlock the bootloader with flashtool? Please describe what you are doing there...
