Any root available for 4.3 that does not involve downgrade of firmware?
Like the 360 root or Vroot that i just "plug and play"
You will he aware when root is available but at the moment nothing along them lines for 4.3 is been done/confirmed working

Think unlock recovery, install custom cwm, flash latest supersu should work though
also possibl when OTA updates starts popping up mybe updating OTA might keep root from .257 if you had it rooted...
but no one tried it yet, i'm waiting for OTA personally.
i tried with kingo... but a message say that want install mtk camera, maybe is the exploit for root.. but i stop the installation
lol... the new firmware has not even been out for a full day and people are already asking for various things... let the devs play with it a little.. geez....
What I know will be released soon a rooted firmware .290 Android 4.3. So stay tuned, when come out just update and done.
I've created rom for recovery with root and recovery, root works, but root file managers can't mount system for write but titanium works fine
Fully Rooted Firmware with Android 4.3 was released today!

No, it's not the root method as well. It's just a 4.3 zip and we flash it into the 4.2 (.257) kernel

I know is not a Root method. Devs do not do miracles but if you want 4.3 rooted this is the way.

That does not give full root, mounting system is still a problem that we are working on.

Hey guys quick question, i am currently living with my long suffering firmware that is jellybean...the phones needing a good clean out and update!
So i was wondering if there is a UK regional FTF for the latest kit kat?
BUT ALSO! i have seen generic ES (Spain) Regional FTFs for Kit Kat and i will be moving to Spain in September.. so should i just go a head and flash that? i don't know the difference between ES & UK (not that i have managed to find a UK version, maybe someone could point me in the right direction)
Also are these FTFs available for rooting? my phone is currently rooted with CWM and will most likely want to re-root after i have flashed with flashtools..
sorry to ask such nooby questions
Thanks

Battery drain will be there initially but it will disappear after play store automatically updates.

I had rooted using the old school method because towelroot was not availabe then
Towelroot will work to root and its the easiest way at the moment.
After rooting just download and install SuperSU from play store.
After flashing firmware Bootloader wont be locked again
Kernel and Root are two different things
You will have to flash recovery again though as flashing firmware will remove the recovery
You can get the recovery from here
Dont follow root instructions from the link as you will be rooted after using towelroot

sorry to be a pain again! having trouble getting CWM and doomlord kernal+root (sorry i just enjoy doomlords kernels) i hav installed ADB driver etc and it DOES boot into fastboot... when i type in "fastboot boot boot.img" it says its complete then you hear the sound of the device ejecting..... but the blue light stays solid... so i have to volume up+power to reboot and CWM isnt installed..... any ideas?
Hi all,
This is an app (that would make your life easier) by which you can flash the NCE stock KK kernel(while on lollipop OC4) that is Safestrap friendly. Then you can enter to SS recovery and flash whatever you need onto your LP ROM. As we all know that SS won't work after flashing a lollipop ROM using muniz_ri method, unless you Odin a KK kernel. All you have to do is:
1. If you are not already on LP then update to it using muniz_ri method. After Muniz_ri method you won't have busybox, so download this one https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox&hl=en from the playstore, open it up and install busybox from within the app (note: this is the only busybox app that has actually worked for me).
2. Install SS, open it up ( it will say recovery "not installed"), install recovery and it will say "installed", then exit out of it.
3. Download the NCE_Flasher.apk then install it, and open it up then hit " flash", wait for it to finish then hit "tap to reboot" and it will take you directly to SS recovery. Then you can flash whatever MODs or addons you wish or even ANOTHER ROM, just make sure you wipe everything but the external SD card if you are flashing a new ROM and you should be good.
4. MAKE SURE TO FLASH THE G900A_OC4_Stock_KERNEL_Recovery-Flashable before you reboot in order for your phone to boot up.
That is what I did and it worked perfectly for me and now I am running TMS5 with no issues at all.
FOLLOW THE ABOVE STEPS AND YOU WILL BE FINE.
-I did NOT make this app and I take absolutely no credit for it. All thanks go to @benwaffle the original creator of this app for our AT&T Note 3 and @carl1961 for remaking it for the S4 & S5.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
-Please note that the purpose of this thread is only to help users. No donations needed. A "thank you" is more than enough
Hope this will help.
WARNING: it may or may not work for some of you. It DID work for me and others with no problem on the S4 side and it is a very similar process, so use it at your own risk.
- Do NOT try this app on the S5 active. They have different kernels (I think) and it won't work for you.
If you run into an issue with the G900A_OC4_Stock_KERNEL_Recovery-Flashable zip, like it didn't work for you or didn't actually flash just boot into download mode after done flashing your files in SS and odin thisOC4 tar file in Odin in order for your phone to boot up into your rom.

1. Yes, the same way as every other Nexus device, so just read the stickied guides at the top of this section.
2. Yes and no. It works on 5.0.x but not on 5.1.x, which is what your device came preloaded with. I'm not sure what parts of your firmware can/can't be downgraded if you really want to roll back to 5.0.x to use Xposed, so maybe someone else will chime in with those specifics.

If you downgrade from 5.1, do not revert your bootloader. Downgrading bootloader from 5.1 to 5.0.1, then eventually back to 5.1 could potentially lead to a brick.

It's OK to downgrade system.img and boot.img. Just don't downgrade your bootloader. Unless you never want to go back to 5.1.

Since you're unlocking and getting a custom recovery anyway, all you have to do is flash a 5.0.2 rom and 5.0.2 kernel. Most devs have updated past that, but you can find links to their older builds usually from the same download folders.

I would suggest that a little bit of patience might be in order here. Xposed is very popular, and I can't imagine that it would be more than a couple of weeks before it's functional on 5.1.
So I'm looking around and I can't see a tutorial.
Can I unlock the bootloader, root, s-off and install a recovery?
Are there any tutorials?
All I want to do is unlock it get rid of the bloatware and then lock it up again so I can still get OTA's
Is that possible?

Hey everyone. I am new on here. And I just bought a Sony Xperia xz-2. I've been so accustomed to the substratum swift black themes on my Note 8 that coming to this has been a bit underwhelming as I was hoping to use substratum to no avail.
It seems that I'll need to root my new phone in android p to achieve what I want from substratum.
I have absolutely no knowledge of rooting. How can I root my phone if I have to in order to use substratum exactly as I did on my unrooted note 8?
Can anyone on here give me explicit details on how to successfully get substratum to work on my new Xperia?

Are they full proof in the manner that there is no way one can mess up?

You mean Fool Proof.....and no nothing is Fool Proof...for instance if you typed in "Full" instead of "Fool" you could mess up!!
Its just a way of doing it...you will lose warranty and you could brick it.

Lol, unfortunately I can't give you the external links, I'm not allowed to but first you unlock your bootloader on the official Sony Unlock Xperia Bootloader site!!! Go there and read the instructions.
Then head over to the Xperifix site and download the Xperifix software and follow the instructions...
Good luck if you choose that path...
I am still Factory and wondering whether to bother..
At the moment it lacks PIE support
Well, i got a XZ2 from my boss for xmas - i love him ( lol ), i'm a SONY fanboy, have many devices since my E10i, very familiar with SONY, so - root without unlocking the BL is impossible atm i guess?

You could install the uploaded Oreo firmware and use xperifix.
After you used the camera and upgrade to pie, the camera will still works (without noise reduction) and the other shiny & nice to have won't work.
The sound vibration system and the color screen system will continue to work.
Well, the PIE color system, not the Sony color system.
But it is similar.
