Greetings to Friends
A few days ago in xperiablog
Root was introduced to the Xperia Z1
http://www.xperiablog.net/2013/09/11/xperia-z1-gets-root/
I 've tested the same time I realized that the Xperia SL
This software can be easily routed
get to share with your friends
Although is very easy
But I will give a simple video tutorial
First, the software VRoot Download the attachment to this post
Or from the manufacturer's site
http://www.mgyun.com/vroot
1 - Install drivers for your phone
2 - Activate the option in your phone Enabled usb debugging
Settings / Developer options
3 - After opening the software and USB cable to connect your phone
4 - When was your phone program
Right click the first option
As shown
Your phone will then reboot
And successful Root the message on the screen
This method will work on most Sony devices
If it is successful, then reboot the phone, the application icon will appear in Root
Note : The root of the problem
SuperSU flash files from the recovery menu, select
Thanks
Amir

Hi @ all
System apps like this Cineese SU App can be uninstalled with "root App Deleter".Found on market.You need root permissions too.

just install super su and update the binaries.. them it will promp to unistall the other ones.. it worked for me..

It works, but I have a small issue: I can't remove the Superuser application the rooting kit provides. I install SuperSu, it prompts me to update the binaries, I do, and it tells me "installation successful", but it doesn't ask me to remove the other superuser applications. So I am stuck with the Chinese/Korean Superuser application. Any thoughts on this?

Tried it on a chinese tablet Nextway F8X which nothing else could root, and that worker like BOSS!!! BRAVO!!!

Just wonder how it works... Somebody can explain that? I'm not so optimistic to tools like this.

2.3.4 No HDMI output

Hello guys, I'm in need of help here.
I had 2.3.3 rooted and working fine, all recommended bloatware + some I removed on my own, and the phone worked like a charm, and the HDMI output worked too.
Now I have 2.3.4 (rooted via .181 flash + OTA). Removed all of the recommended bloatware, + some new which came with the 2.3.4 update...
.. and it seems that my HDMI output doesn't work. Just wanted to play some Tekken 3 on ePSE + sixaxis controller, plugged it in, and both my TV, my monitor, and my second monitor show either "Check Signal Cable" or "Power Saving Mode"..
I tried reinstalling every single bloatware app I removed, and it still doesn't help. Is there something I did wrong? Or maybe there is some 3rd party app for HDMI out?
Help please!
After almost giving up, finally solved my problem.
By some magical way, neither SEMCHdmiControlService or SEMChdmiEnabler were present in my backup folder or in system/app. Had to put it from 2.3.3, and it worked !
Hooray!
I have a question!
Now, I just flashed 184(UK),installed Gingerbreak 1.2 and rooted my arc.
If I wanna have rooted 2.3.4(with unlock boot loader), I must unroot my arc by gingerbreak and do following:
Flash Generic_World(Nordic).181 and start your phone again.
-Plug in your USB-cable to the computer and phone again.
-Make sure USB-debugging is activated in the settings menu.
-Install Gingerbreak 1.2 and press "Root the phone".
-The phone reboots by itself in about 20 seconds after pressing Root.
-After reboot and a long wait, go to settings and install OTA.
-Phone collects firmware OTA and reboots many times.
-Now Its working and you have rooted 2.3.4
It is right?

Does any of these two apps have anythibg to do with CEC function or is just LG's Simplink no good? I can connect and browse the phone, but only if using phone's screen, remote control does not work.
Anybody? Any idea? I am really getting desperate.
I never rooted my phone so cannot help here.
But you messed something up for sure when doing all the operations.
Can somebody post SEMChdmiEnabler.apk
I do not have it in my 2.3.4 update. Also after downloading 91mb of apps from the above link, there is no such app in there. Of course that makes me think 2.3.4 comes without it and it is not needed, but would like to try nevertheless. it cannot hurt.
So please, if nay of you guys have it, can you share it?

SuperSU performs the usual duties of managing superuser access, unroot with a few added benefits, including logging superuser access, temporary, and it even works in recovery. Here is the complete list of features:
Features:
Superuser prompt superuser access access logging superuser access notifications unroot per-app notification configuration Temporary deep process-detection (no strangers) works in recovery (no more memory access error) will work if Android is not booting properly Works with non-standard shell locations trusts ADB connection is always in the Ghost Mode Wake-on prompt
The Pro version also offers:
OTA Survival mode (no guarantee) Full color-coded command logging content (input / output / error) per app logging configuration per-app user override PIN protection

Need to hide your root?

I made this tutorial for another post and going to post here if it helps anyone.

Not to take anything away from the OP
But there is a much easier way to do this I've been using since I rooted.
Download: hide my root from the market
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.amphoras.hidemyroot
And simply hide the root when you need to. Works for any app you'd want to temporary excuse root from your system for.

You can do this with SuperSU to enable/disable root and allow root access to apps all in one.

Simpler solution.Just go in your /system/app folder and rename Superuser.apk to any other name.You will still have your root but app that perform check wont be able to tell.
This works for Time Warner app,it wont let you watch live tv if youre rooted.After you rename your superuser.apk you will be able to watch live tv.Im sure it works for other apps too.
Renaming the superuser.apk worked for me! Thx :good:
But I wonder if there is any app out there which can do it automatically ...
I have tried these apps, but without success

Both have been proven to not rename the Superuser.apk.
So Whatchever has still recognized the root.
I have forgotten to mention that I am using Android 4.1.2 (Stock ROM).

In the same situation as you with the same software version, have tried every possible root script/one click method out there and none work. Came across kingroot which is supposed to work but i don't trust it
why not? could it brick the device? no feedback about it?
update: just tried it. didn't work
Ahhhh damn! Reason I didn't try it was because people were saying that they weren't sure if it rooted the phone in a tidy way and also weren't sure if it was sending personal info to the app makers...looks like we will have to wait for now eh!

tried the purple drake root tool, the lg one click root v1.3 and none worked. they all say that it was done successfully, but when phone reboots, i don't have busybox or supersu. downloaded root checker from playstore, says that root is not found. tried to install supersu from playstore and then root but says su binary weren't found.
can someone advise please?
thank you in advance
p.s: i don't want to downgrade to kitkat. and i don't think am gonna need a custom recovery cause i saw that's a hastle. i basically need the root for lucky patcher, greenify and the such.

Purple drake only works for kitkat and lower

Ahhhh damn! Reason I didn't try it was because people were saying that they weren't sure if it rooted the phone in a tidy way and also weren't sure if it was sending personal info to the app makers...looks like we will have to wait for now eh!

Maybe root devs just haven't got round to updating their apps and scripts to work with it yet...I'm not sure tbh

so can you advise on what to do to get root on my software version? i tried it all and nothing seems to work. reminds me of my first android device (htc chacha) that had me trying for 3months before i got it to work. my nexus 4 was 2 commands and woop. and now this
there are threads in these forums that tell you how to, and te reason htc took so long is because of s-on/s-off

no kidding!! seriously? maybe you haven't read that i tried all methods discussed and none worked? and i know that it was the s-0n s-off for the htc. i was just trying to show the difference between my nexus and the other devices i owned. that it's not as easy.
thanks for the reply
How odd! I was having the same issue as you and tried every single tool out there about 5 times each on Windows 7 and nothing worked! I then decided to try on a Windows 10 machine using the following root script:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-root-lg-firmwares-kitkat-lollipop-t3056951
And all worked fine!!! Rooted right away...so I suggest you try creating a Windows 10 Virtual Machine and give that a go
confirmed sheppy?

I tried the VM, but when I had put the phone in download mode, the adb didn´t find the device. Any tip??
did you install the lg drivers? try uninstall then reinstall and see if that works. did you enable the developer mode?
am just throwing all possibilities. sometimes one just dismisses one in the moment

I just uninstalll the drives, reinstall and nothinhg. And yes, developer mode and debugging turned on!
I'd love to find a solution for this... pretty annoying that every variant and version supports root besides V20G..
hoping someone comes along, reads this and tells us about a solution...

How could you install the driver in win10 inside VM. Can detect my device but couldnt install the driver...
Tried VM with WIndows 10, No dice
So like you all been endlessly trying to root V20g-sea.
I took the advise given and installed virtual box put windows 10 on it and go through all the methods again. SAME problem all scripts work without a hitch, phone restarts and NO SU installed and NO ROOT.
Someone please find a solution I beg of you. I have read through 100's of pages of comments and still no solution
