Hey there guys, I'm new to all of these software stuff. I'm trying to get my device simply rooted. I looked everywhere on the forum to see if anyone actually rooted my version of device. Some people say they did it but they didnt post how they got it or the instructions. So if anyone can help me, I would appreciate it. (Also, I don't care too much for roms or customization etc as long everything works perfectly fine. I just need the root in order to use the app called "SixAxis" a mapping for games.)
My device's bootloader is locked im guessing since it's by tmobile, but if there is a root out there, please give me links/exact instructions. I AM A NOOB BTW
Thanks
I currently own a Sony Xperia Z. It's model number is C6606
Android Version is 4.2.2
Kernel Version: 3.4.0-ge32669e
Build number: 10.3.1.E.0.191

Ok nvm, i figured out what you meant by method 0. So i tried it, and the device rebooted and i checked it with the root checker app, and it didnt root. Nothing was installed or anything like that.
Then i attempted to do it again but this time "run it as administrator". Then the root kit said "the system cannot find the path specified"
Any ideas or other ways to root my device?
First, make sure drivers are all installed. USB debugging needs to be on.
Then make sure nothing else like the PC Companion is running before you use the toolkit.
This should work for you.

i suffered that alot when i was new to rooting and flashing, just try flashing a new stock firmware back to the phone from samfirmwares.com and see how you go,
actualy pre rooted firmware
firmware http://www.multiupload.com/YY0JBMUWBF
csc file http://www.multiupload.com/NRVCK6KYWD
512 pit file http://www.multiupload.com/I5WICSBFJ1
see how you go with that, although u may need to manually add youre providers apn settings in after though
Regarding the icon: flash the bootloaders(boot & Sbl) and a working kernel
Thanks for the posts ...fliptechnologies do i use odin to flash them files ? where does the firmware go ?(pda?). Does anyone know if anyone with the same problem has made a guide by any chance ?
thanks
there are apps which help you root your phone using adb
like SuperOneClick you might want to try it, or using a firmware with root as suggested
there is also an app which can be installed in your phone to root ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833953)
but first you need to get a firmware in order to install that app
get an stock ROM like 2.2 froyo or 2.1 eclair, then try with the app

Have read much about it last year and that this app acts like a malware mining your data (e.g., IMEI) and sending those data to free servers in China during the root process. Not up to date on this info as I don't use such app. Kingo Android Root Method thread just re-opened this year, so maybe program was cleared by XDA?
Will report this thread. My guide already does a great and simple job guiding both new and old users on how to root. Although I may have posted a 'final' update, I am still lurking around.

There is no root method for the GS5 on Lollipop.
so does that mean we can't go to an earlier version and root that?

Unfortunately, no. This phone was only rootable on KitKat.

Thanks, and that's ok but not the best of corse, what I have been able to do because the most important thing for me was/is a GPS app I use and it/was a root only app for storage to the sdext for offline maps. I get a popup now that directs me to another window that has a "hint" to select "0000-xxxx" on the next page, then I can select the sdext for storage and the app uses it (very happy) and it seems to happen for other file transfer tasks. I do not know if the app made this possible or if its just native as this was the first app I installed but it's there in any event. so now when my game files get to big for some other task I wish to do I just move the app data file to the sdext and do whatever and move it back when done. Again not the best but livable as I really like the 5.1.1/OJ3 ROM that's on my G870A, good battery live with quick operation after installing the Pro version of Samsung Package Disabler . I really like this phone! And let's hope this new exploit they found for the Verizon phones turns into something!
I also contacted at&t and stressed how important rooting can be (as for me it's a safety issue as there's bad service in the rural area I'm in) and suggested they might even allow it for an extra fee/no or paid support for doing it. I'm not holding my breath.
Thanks again, now I going to put my KFHD back to 8.1.4 and see if I can get OTG to work as this 870 is all I need for gaming now that I got glasses, I'm an old fart (chronologically)

Hey!
I am not being able to install TWRP since I returned to my Rom stock.
My device is xt1064 (bought in florida)
Does anyone know any solution?
Methods I tried:
1)by doing it via fastboot: This message appears when I do it

2)Via android: I tried to root my phone and later install it via the official application. unfortunately I don't know any application to root in marshmallow, so I installed stock android kit kat, I rooted my phone and later installed twrp on the application.
the problem was that I was unable to flash things, or basicly I wasn't able to do anything with it because everything failed.
I installed marshmallow again, because twrp failed after I deleted everything.
Does Anyone know a solution?
I apologize for my bad grammar. I am 15 years old and I am from Argentina.
Greetings.

I did it again on another pc and somehow worked.
I don't know why it worked, because I tried before on that one and didn't work.
There is new update pushed today for RP2 with a lot of improvement.
I wonder if someone can Root this. I try many times to root with no luck so i returned to previous update to root.
I just want to install Magisk nothing more.

What steps have failed? Magisk Manager does properly patch the MR2 boot.img from the stock firmware. Happy to help if you're running into trouble.
