[Root] [Locked BL] TX 9.1.B.1.67

Hi, This root method is not one click stuff, I tested it on my TX with HK firmware, with ES File Explorer granted root on .67.
Pro:
Worked on LOCKED BOOTLOADER
Enjoy complete .67 (not more go back .411 kernel)
Con: USE AS YOUR OWN RISK!
Prerequisite
.411 that able to receive OTA 1.67 update (ex. XperiaTX_LT29i_9.1.B.0.411_HK.ftf)
In case you need .411 HK, here you go
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwYQCZybU8x6aG1sY0tuRWRWaUE/edit?pli=1
File: 167RootFix.zip & CWM4XperiaT_v7i_JB.zip
Please put 167Rootfix.zip in your SD card (a place you know to install from CWM)
Let's Start
1. Root 411 with Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v31 (I prefer clean 411)
(with New Xperia Root by Goroh_Kun)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
2. (optional)Check out if your root is okay (by whatever app that need root)
3. Apply 1.67 OTA thru system update in setting, install and wait for it.
Now your TX is booted and at half root!
4. Install CWM (Unzip file and run install.bat from PC), Choose TX, it will restart your phone in 5 seconds, press vol DOWN – button to enter CWM
5. Go to Mount and Storage , on Mount system press power button (it will show unmount system then), Go Back and Install Zip from SD card , please locate 167Rootfix.zip
After finished install, go back to main menu and Reboot.
6. Done, Enjoy

No problem bro, there maybe other way to root, but I found this by far the easiest way to root.

What's in the 167rootfix? I did a similar procedure and it kept the root as far as I can tell.

OK, I will try it , the reboot issue bothers me for a long time. Hope it may work well on my phone . THX

:good: Nice one. Going to check this out.
I managed to get root on .67 by rolling back to .411, rooting with Bin4ry31, then installing Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper.
Loaded up .67 ok and got root back, but trying to mount the system as R/W in ES File Explorer or via ADB results in a reboot after about 3 seconds.

I confirmed that this method wouldn't not reboot when R/W system.
But yes, it doesn't remember granted root after a REBOOT in ES. I didn't try other things yet but this one does okay job.

anyone know if taking the firmwares from this firmware fixes the camera focus on freexperia mod?

for some reason I cannot install the zip fix with cwm, it said it cannot find busy box prop and fail to install the fix. I end up having trouble using es explorer to gain rw right

You could try to do it from clean 411 again, I know some problem about modified system could cause error.
Or you can try one click root that just out

[Q] Sony Xperia Z c6606 10.3.1.E.0.191?

So I have rooted phones before. Htc g1, LG G2X and these were pretty straight forward. This sony is just something else. I have the build number 10.3.1.E.0.191 and cant find how to root this version. I have looked and only found other versions of this phone. The stock software is very boring and cm is one of my favorites. Links and instructions and very helpfull. Thanks for the help. The phone is a US TMOBILE PHONE C6606. Thanks

Try this - Root many Android
When running the tool, you need cubeundcube method (method 0, I believe).

Why would you think your build number would change?
Look in the app drawer for SuperSU. If it's there, then you have root.
Edit - I see now that you mentioned CM in your original post. To answer that, you can only flash stock based custom roms as your bootloader is permanently locked and you need an unlocked bootloader to run the custom kernels required by CM/PAC/AOSP etc.
Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk

So I have superuser. Sorry to ask so many questions but it has been a while. On my g2x i have boot manager. (hold up volume and power). So with locked boot manager I can flash roms? Is there any way to flash roms. I appreciate all the help

Install a recovery - XZDualRecovery
Then look in the development section for roms that are for locked bootloaders.
Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk

http://nut.xperia-files.com/ so on the download page which one do i download. Theres no c6606 or xperia z? Only zl z ultra

So i installed the program. So i have the two bootloaders but now my computer wont recognize my phone.

-_____- How come i used that method and it didn't work. I got an error: "The system cannot find the path specified"

Okay so I followed all steps, installed adb killed the companion tool and it just hangs on starting Daemon

Root Xperia T on JB 4.3 with locked booloader

Hello friends, i have a Xperia TL with a locked bootloader, i want to flash stock firmware Android 4.3 to my device via flashtool.
But how can i root my decive before i flash this rom. I have a locked bootloader and it says "allowed= NO".
I need to root because i want to restore my apps and data.

Why don't read "Xperia T, TL, TX, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting" first thread?

If you flash it with flashtool it's easy... Just disselect data wipe and then you don't need to restore your data or apps.

No, if you flash FW via flashtool, the root is lost.
I think you should :
1. Back up ur app by titanium backup.
2. Download 4.1.2 stock FW LT30at from HERE
3. Download newest 4.3 Unbrand and flash it via flash tool (u must choose exclude baseband)
4. Root it by my tool
5. Restore app
If root fail at 4.3, u can flash 4.1.2 stock then root and restore app. Good luck

Thank you again.. If root doesn't work.. Is there another method to root? I wanna stay on 4.3.

Nice try.
It installs a bunch of Chinese bloatware, language can't be changed and root CAN'T be obtained.
As much as I could understand it's a tool for MTK hardware and uses restore for root, and it doesn't work.

dear a_new_day, i was wondering if you would have a 'tool' for Xperia V (LT25i). I was searching the forums for a version that would work on my newly installed FM 9.2.A.1.199, JB 4.3. Your thread came up and I was hopeful but I read through it and it's for Xperia T :crying:
as of present I haven't yet found a working one for the new FM. I hope that DoomLord will soon come to the rescue...
thanks for whatever help/thread/link you can give. it's my only way to tweak the phone so as to increase the LIMIT number on SMS sent.

All root is temporary because you can just unroot by removing the files..

There is no way, and there is no need to temp root xperia z1.. Temp root is only for device like HTC wich have locked bootloader and some added security such as S-OFF. In xperia u have only locked or unlocked bootloader and perma root.

You cannot pre root FTF files. Everything in a FTF file has to be completely stock from Sony

[LB/UB] Easily Root JB 4.3 and KK 4.4.2

Hey Everybody
Good news.
Easily root Xperia ZR on .101
I used http://towelroot.com
Fast and easy
Of course USB debugging should be enable.
Happy rooting

I ve seen this on the Xperia Z forums and what works there works everywhere !
So I say it works on the KitKat firmware

Dont think it would work on. 230 firmwares, kernel are patched in those.
But it should work on earlier ones.
Maybe i will try later.

After this root you only had to install a recovery and it is perfect right?

I dont know yet, I wat surprised that it worked in the. 230 rom.
I flashed a clean tft, installed this app. After reboot i installeren Su then the recovery. As far as I see everything works, a small revolution......

Is installing recovery really necessary?
Thankyou wafeeq for sharing
I have a few (noobish)questions about this method of rooting, because the instructions are still a little sketchy for now.
I was wondering what the point of installing recovery is, is it to get the SuperSU to work on the phone? (forgive my noobish question).
After installing recovery do I have to set anything in recovery mode?
Is it necessary to unlock the bootloader?
Does this mean I can use backupTA after getting root? That would be awesome.

You are welcome.
1- Superuser is not recovery, imagine superuser as the policeman controlling root access.
2- just install recovery mentioned earlier.
3- You will not unlock your bootloader so nothing to fear regarding drm keys or ta partition.

It has 2 batchfiles to choose from and the text file attached tells us to ensure we install the right BAT file by checking which one we have. Which one is the best option?

Can confirm working flawlessly on .230, tested using "Terminal Emulator" and gives a positive root result of #. Installed SuperSU and behaves as expected when trying to run root applications except when I try to run it manually, it prompts for an SU binary update saying "SU binary needs to be updated, Continue?". The normal update fails, think this is because i'm running stock firmware. Will need to flash the SUupdate after installing a custom recovery.
