Simple Root for Unlocked Bootloaders (SGP311/312)

It was clear that rooting some Sony devices was not as easy as it should be. This is for unlocked bootloader users, who want to quickly root a stock ROM by flashing a rooted boot.img. It is for the POLLUX_WINDY (ie. the SGP311/312) devices ONLY.
Do not install this on the Pollux (tablet Z with LTE), or it will no longer boot - use flashtool to fix it
There may have been some in the past, but these tend to be full of other "tweaks", like hideous amateur boot logos, and stupid changes like setting ro.secure=0. That's a bad idea, it can break things, and frankly, I know from experience of myself and others that there is a need for a FAST way to root your unlocked device after flashing a new ROM, rather than messing around with downgrading and OTAs.
This will NOT work on locked bootloader, but this is not intended for them. This doesn't include 9001 different recoveries either, like some "kernels" do. This is the stock kernel, with root added, and nothing stupid added.
There is one security improvement made - ro.adb.secure has been set to 1. This is an important security feature, please don't complain about it. If you don't use ADB, you'll never see it, and it won't change anything. If you use adb, it will offer you greater security on 4.2+ stock Sony ROMs, which don't have this feature enabled. You will be prompted to accept the computer connection on the phone, just like in "AOSP" Android 4.2 and above.
The downloads are available above, in the "Downloads" tab. If you have a particular version you wish to request, simply post the kernel.sin. I have made this for only the SGP311/312 (Pollux_Windy) Tablet Z phone images right now, but will consider expanding it for other devices if there is demand and people who can test.
Enjoy simple root, without the nonsense. None of the "don't mirror my files" crap. None of the "please give me donations", none of the "omg credit me as the best person ever". Feel free to share, use, re-use, mirror, enjoy. And I think you'll find that these files are rather helpful for the unlocked bootloader root community I've been thinking about making them for months, but it seems that nobody has ever bothered to.

Correct.
But, since I feel generous, if you upload me the kernel.sin file from your LTE model, I will make a rooted boot.img for it. You can attach them to a post here if you like - just the kernel.sin. Please name them per the stock ROM version, so I can label it correctly.

Hi there, thanks for your reply. What do you mean by the kernel.sin file from my LTE model (mine is the HK version) ? I have taken a photo shot regarding my pad's rom and kernel version details for your reference as attached. If there is not the information that you need, please tell me how to get the "kernel.sin" file from my pad ! Thanks again for your kindness !

The attachment is rooted for this version. As you didn't give me the firmware version (ie. 10.A..whatever...), I won't add it to the list. Please test and let me know if it works. If this fails, just re-flash kernel using flashtool.

You just did a ro.secure in the ramdisk
Am I right?

Nope. Setting ro.secure=0 is NOT the right way to root.
The ramdisk is modified, it will detect if you have root already, and if not, it will install SuperSU and the corresponding su binary on root. I also set ro.adb.secure=1, to add extra security for the device (now you need to approve ADB connections to unrecognised computers).
If you use ro.secure=0, this will break many apps with "root detection", as well as being a horrendously ugly hack, which introduces all sorts of vulnerabilities. ro.secure should always be set to 1
I strongly advise you don't use root methods that set ro.secure=0, as well as any kernels that do it. It's much safer to not have a rooted ADB shell lying available to anything that connects to your device... Including... you know... an app running on your device that initiated an adb connection to 127.0.0.1
So yes, this gives you root without adding stupid extra security holes like many kernels and "root methods" do

Instead of going through all the trouble of unlocking the boot loader and flashing an image, use the Vroot tool instead; it works fast and and does not require unlocking the boot loader. Search this forum for information about the Vroot tool.

Im not going to explain root but you need PinPong Root beta 6 and then you need flash fire.

If you notice ever so slightly under neath the picture it says "This is a verizon picture".
This is actually as titled in the thread, "ro.build.display.id=LRX22G.G920AUCU1AOCE"
I did not know there was an update for AT&T until after I gave the phone back. I will update this again when I get my hands on either another AT&T phone (which wont be hard) or someone posts the latest AT&T Odin file.
So to answer your question... This is the Stock ROM without the AT&T OTA.
Hope that clarifies it better! :good:

Thanks a lot for the stock rooted rom .... but the link for downloading the Stock rom AT&T doesn't seem to work.

Anyone got time to test?

Updated!
Updated to UCU1AOE2 base!

Hi Scott. I'm running the the ROM, but it continues to trip Knox and asking for a reboot due to "unauthorized actions". I tried unrooting via Super SU, but then recalled that the ROM is pre-rooted.... so not sure if I was unsuccessful due to that.
Also, Wi-Fi passwords are not being saved on reboot.

Then the ROM is incorrect version for your firmware that is why you get WiFi password errors.
As far as knox, just delete it.
This ROM is more for developers than end users.

Thank you for this ROM, also. It came in real handy when I finally grasped the proper plan of action.

hey Scrosler ,
used flashfire to load your ROM but every time i do it [per your instructions] i'm still on G920AUCU1AOCE.
am i missing something? i'm trying to get to G920AUCU1AOE2.
should i have unrooted before using flashfire?
Thanks

You need to be using OE2 before flashing Clean ROM.

Ended up installing win 8.1 via bootcamp on Yosemite and installed Odin from there. Worked. !!

Changelog
Code:
Current changelog: -- 14 June
- Added build.prop RAM managment tweaks from @mickeyinid and [user=4517211]@Xileforce[/user]. see link below for the thread.
- Removed /system/app/SecuritylogAgent.apk Hopefully it fixes the Knox screen of death.
6 JUNE
-Reinstalled a free things, should return RAM management back to stock.
- Installed 3 minit battery mod. (www.3minit.com)
-----This will likely cause SystemUI FC when typing decrypt password, I can make a non-3minit version if people are interested.
- File size is larger, I used 7 zip to zip it, no compression.
- Messed with floating.XML, trying to get normal settings menu. It didn't work, but I just left the modified file.
29 May 2015
-More bloat removed.
-No more AT&T locker on first boot.
-I hope all the knox stuff is gone.
-Now should show data icons for Canada (I hate the AT&T ones.) --Maybe not, need to figure out what's causing it not to work.
26 May 2015
Deodexed the /system for easy themeing.
Centered the clock
Made the clock disappear when on lockscreen
Erased the battery icon (I use the "show battery percentage" setting)
Erased the AT&T text in status bar when no icons are shown.
Removed the NFC Icon from statusbar.
Removed the AT&T wifi notification.

FAQ
Q: Where is the Kernel? or Where is the Kernel Source?
A: Since AT&T and Samsung have consipred to lock the bootloader, there is not kernel as flashing anything but stock will probably require an Odin flash to stock.
Q: Any way to get just the SystemUI for use on other DeOdexed ROM?
A: Yes, here you go. SystemUI.apk
Any more, you ask, I'll try answer.

Small update, I have a semi-useless phone for a few days, waiting on AT&T to send me a new one. Mine currently will only get a signal about 25%-50% of the time. I also have some stuff planned with my daughter this weekend, so I probably won't be doing much until I get my new phone and put it through the paces. I had to put stock back on my current S6, and am lazy and don't feel like flashing my ROM back on just to flash stock in a few days . I'll still be around and I'll look into some of the things you guys brought to my attention though.

I'm dying to try this, but I'm all pimped out where I am. I dread the two hours to get it where I want, even though I am desirous of your changes... What are the odds a dirty flash would work, coming from Cleanrom? Also, based on the file size, this is largely debloated, is that correct?

It should work. I dirty flashed from CleanROM 1.1 to this one, and it worked fine. I can't promise anything though of course. You can always back up in flashfire and try though.

As long as you have the OE2 update I would say it should work, but I'm not 100% sure.

I'm looking at some layers (RRO) stuff. was suggested to me via PM. Samsung uses a version of layers, just need to figure out how close to AOSP it is and if some mods can be done to support AOSP layers. Not making promises this will go anywhere, just what I'm currently messing around with.

Can you pleast post unmodified SystemUI.apk ? I want to mod the battery for @s6freak but because you removed the battery it causes a SystemUI fc . Can I ask please where did you mod it ? You can also post just the original unmoded xml/smali if you wish.

Just center clock as described by ticklefish in the link from OP. And I removed a line about the carrier from the same time as the center clock (status bar.XML) The section commented out in there about Knox was causing systemUI fc if left in, so I commented it out. Otherwise that's all I think I did in systemUI.

So Android Pay finally released and was super excited to get it running. Turns out you can't use it when your phone is rooted. Super pissed. Tried disabling root through developer options and still nothing.

I have known that for months. I can't use my banks app either.

People have reported it working when disabling root from supersu. Is that what you did?

How do you disable root from super su? Also once it's disabled can it be re activated?

if you're using chainfire SU, then there is a checkbox in the settings menu.

I found simplest workaround for making Android Pay verify your credit card....unroot by removing SuperSU with function to remove at bottom of the app. Then start PAY and allow it to verify whichever card you like. It should take you through a few steps and then instruct you that you need to type unlock pattern to use. Then just reinstall the SU zip from recovery (SuperSU246.zip or the current one you can get at chainfire website). I have not paid for anything just yet but assume it will work since the verification step is completed. If it fails, I will update later over the weekend.
Update: Yes you will need to be on stock ROM (it can be slightly modified with a few apps removed like EMAIL or bloat you do not use) but it cannot be a custom ROM like those in original android forum. That will fail. It uses some things within system partition that must be missing when you flash a custom rom. Maybe some hacker can help figure out what that is.

i did get android pay installed, and did add a card, while on the m rom jdx. then i deleted my nfc(i always do that). but i never did test if it worked(my mistake). anyways, android pay got updated today.

Right...but it needs nfc to communicate with the terminal and the security thing is because it's directly connected now to bank

Fail for Google
I tested...it gave error...saying cannot use MasterCard xxx. The guy at register was nice enough to wait...I removed root and rebooted. It worked. Wtf...I cannot use crucial apps that I know help save battery life. My friend just told me to check Android xposed framework workaround

SuperSU unroot procedure works on stock ROM

I can verify that this worked for me also. Added multiple cards before re-rooting and no complaints yet. Will try a McDonalds purchase later .. for research of course.

It failed at panera. I've tried doing rootcloak within xposed framework module and will see if I cab test for small purchase. Update soon. This is retarded that Google is paranoid I'll sue...my bank let's me use rooted...most of their apps are high encryption (192)....hello Google...do same thing!

It failed for me but I've tried installing xposed and root cloak....adding pay and nfc and as many other apps I think it might be using under the cover. Hiding just Android pay didn't work...forgot nfc. I'll try at McDonald's in bit. This is so dumb. Why all the fuss with Google? I just dispute transactions if my phone got stolen. I'd obviously wipe it remotely. They do not think chit through!

actually, at this point, they did. you havent gotten it to work with root, have you? and i understand why they are doing it this way, its for the majorities safety, not if the minority can use it or not. anyways, we will have a way around it..

Most of majority do not know how to root....the woman in tech support...trained in this...had no idea what it even means nor did she have clue about some basic internal information. There should be way to use with root....I do not agree that they've considered us...developers that want root. Again let me repeat...banks use 192 bit high encryption...They should do the same. My device isn't all of a sudden horribly vulnerable just from root. Sorry but you are wrong.

Even if you manage to add it, won't work if you root again

Tried to use at a McDonalds, with 2 different credit cards. Both failed saying can't be used at this time. I will unroot and try again to see if this is the issue

It fails with the attached message...and only way it works is if you go into super SU each time and disable...which I guess I could do...it's just one extra step

Well my old Google Wallet apk worked today at the grocery store I will be using that till a work around is found. At least if you want to use NFC payments you can for now.

Google doesn't ha e to consider rooters and modders for this. When Google speaks of developers, there are two types in their mind...
Legit app developers.. And those who aren't... Guess which category a rooter belongs to? Everything Google has done up to this point security wise goes against rooting.
So what reason do they have to allow you, or anyone who roots their phone, usage to a system that uses their servers?
Especially when they're constantly patching and erasing known root methods with every new version of Android..

Do you mean un-checked the "Enable Superuser" checkbox? I'm using SuperSU Free v.2.45 by Chainfire.
Thank you!

Yes the checkbox in SuperSu ...as for whom they consider developer...that's really dumb. No I don't make applications but I'm an advanced user like most that own nexus. The fact they actually check for the su binary is idiotic. If that alone makes my device "vulnerable" then I would probably not use it at all. Also, the guy that's still using wallet, it will be forced on you soon. I attempted to reverse and it wouldn't allow me.

[ROM] Base G920T [EPF1]

This is a 100 percent STOCK EPF1 ROM, Odexed
There are no mods to this rom, though I have injected Root and Busybox
Knox is still present, this is 100 percent STOCK
Comes with 100 percent STOCK Kernel
This is for the G920T FLAT, not meant for Edge Devices, if you flash this you will damage your device
This is meant for Future ROM developers, as I do not have the time to dedicate to doing a proper build
If this does not flash properly, it is probably a simple error in the Update script though I see no reason it should not install.
You must be on the EPF1 Bootloader, and Modem for this to Install properly
BTW This ROM is not currently bootable for some reason, it is for developers use only, I'm currently working on a bootable ROM, no ETA Available​

Welcome!
Looks like you got everything worked out and install is working now!
Good job.
If you need anything, you know where I'm at, just let me know.
Very nice to see some new development here!
Good luck with your project.

I've been meaning to do this for quite a while, to throw out a ROM of my own.. I'm moving to another State soon, so I don't have the time to go through the motions of doing a Vanilla version... Most of my work has been with my Galaxy Tab.. Which was far easier than this was.. lol

Please do not respond with the Original Post in your reply..
Remember this is the BASE ROM, no mods..
I'm going to be moving this week and I won't be set up at the minimal by maybe the second week in September..
This was meant for anyone else could use this for their own work. However I do plan on doing my own build..
My build will be mostly Vanilla with Unrestricted Tethering, I'll be playing with the Firestorm Kernel @Maqical with permission of course..
there will be some Basic Frame work mods, and of course it will be debloated among a few other Build Prop tweaks..
Please no not make any requests until My Alpha Build is complete.. I have plenty of experience in building Nexus ROMs, and I have my own personal build for my Galaxy Tab 4, and those were very easy to do.. @stangdriver44. There are just some issues I need to work out that other Devs have worked out them selves.. Also from what I have been reading here and there, that there will be another Android Security Update coming for our device.. With in a few months... Though who think we will get Android Nougat, we might.. However it might be in July of next year..
Be patient, don't be afraid to experiment, I recommend using Linux, that's what I use.. Google TheSickness Github.. That guy does it right..

I'm not going to make a tutorial about a ROM Base where it is not intended for every day use..
When make my first release of my Official ROM, I will then post a tutorial..
Not sure if I will stick with Ultra Stock/Ultralite which one is slightly debloated, where the other is brutally debloated.
I might just create a basic modified rom, streamlined with some tweaks..

Hey, Send me a pm later and we'll talk more. I'm just getting sorta back into my everyday life after fighting a cold, my update is near so if you have a upload build date let me know privately and I'll see if I can get you something more updated or complete by time you're ready, I'm doing the same thing with Stangdriver, as we're pretty close and I'll always have a goodie for that rom before it's uploaded.
You have permission to include my work, and any questions or a more complete build of my v3 if you want I can surely send you a copy within these next few days of me getting back into things, if you're also just looking for a close to stock one with most of the necessary fixes I can also build one like that as well, and I saw that Android Security thing that was trending a day or two ago and I'll have the fix for that exploit in my kernel as well. Just hit me up and I'll see what I can do for you

I appreciate the nod..

Can you possibly post the .tar for this file. My phone is bricked and won't go into recovery after I installed the modem and bootloader for this version of MM. Hangs at Recovery is not seandroid enforcing. Tried installing the previous software but won't work cuz of the updated bootloader. Need to flash via odin. PM me if you want to
