[ROOT][LP][UB/LB] 1 Click Root for Xperia ZL Lollipop Locked/Unlocked Bootloader - Sony Xperia ZL
Hi, i have an Xperia ZL with Locked Bootloader and i tested it and it worked, no need to flash anything, just go in your mobile browser to https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B28tGmPEAKnOeGhkemVTZlAtMk0/view?usp=sharing, download and install the apk and run it, it will do allt he work for you, i have experienced some reboots but some minutes after my phone goes completly stable, it will install a task killer called kingmaster and the root manager called kinguser, you can uninstall kingroot and kingmaster and just need to keep kiguser, super user and super su doesn´t work but with kinguser installed i have completly root acces
UPDATE: In my first post i posted the direct link to download kingroot from its website, but it was downloading different versions and not all of them are working fine, so i uploaded the correcto version to my google drive, it works perfectly, the version 4.0 is in chinese and doesnt work, but version 4.1 is in english and works fine
Can anybody else comment on this ? I've read shady details about kingroot from other threads but some of it may not be up to date.
I think this method doesn't really works, Titanium backup don't get root access by example...
You can indeed get root using this method, but will need to change it to SuperSU before attempting to use Titanium Backup.
I don't recommend it
can I unroot the phone afterward for warranty service?
Why you dont recomed it Oliver?
Dandy, i have been using titanium backup perfectly with this root method, just open king user, revoque the root acces to titanium and open titanium again, it will prompt you for root acces and then it works perfectly
Dlslith, there is no need to change to supersu or super user, i think this cannot be done
Atisho, i dont know a method to unroot Xperia zl on android lollipop, but im interested too, i will be searching and trying

Thats interesting, but i really dont have a reason to change from kinguser to supersu, it is true that supersu is well known for all of us, but i have been using kingroot since june 13th and it have been working perfectly, but if you tell me the reason for make this change i will tahnk you
i am using Titanium backup, AdAway (from XDA) and Internet Speed Master (from XDA) and apparently everything is working fine
Didn't work for me, at least not all apps, even most of them didnt work

Yes, the Kingroot method does work (you need to have internet access). I have used it to root my Z1, but it is generally considered a "Risky" way to root.
If you need it done fast, it will work. Most people recommend taking the longer process of downgrading to an earlier version, using a root tool that installs SuperSU or Superuser, then installing a recover, and finally installing a pre-rooted version of the ROM you want / need.
The reason that king is considered risky is that part of the root process requires you to have web access and the app sends the phone IMEI number to some unknown IP address in china.
Is that all that Kingroot sends? unknown
What can / do they do with the IMEI? unknown
What else does king user do if the root is sending your IMEI number to china? unknow
Use at own risk. I really was having trouble with my Z1 after I tried to install a rom but it was corrupted and I lost the recovery and root.
I used Kingroot to get root access, then used the root to install a recover, then did a clean install of the full ROM I wanted.
groot to get root access, then used the root to install a recover, then did a clean install of the full ROM I wanted.
Does anyone know which exploit kingroot is using to get root access?
Hi,
I tried to root on Lollipop using Kingroot, It installed root, then I tried to switch the Root Manager App to SuperSU, In doing this I uninstaled KingRoot, KingUser and all other apps and tried to update binaries with SuperSU which obviously failed.
Now the problem is such that - KingUser is installed as a system app and also the su binaries are loaded. When i type su command from the Terminal i get the following error:
[-] connect ui: timer expired.
Unable to root with any known technique
I have also tried to do a system reset but kinguser still persisted.
Is there any way to wipe /system clear and flash a ftf to start from a clean slate and try rooting again.

Click to collapse Have you followed the rooting procedure fully? In the forum it tells you how to properly root your phone. With the su binary not being found it seems like when you used framaroot it didn't install the binary (due to the half root it does). You need to keep using framaroot until SuperSU is installed and once it is you then need to use BusyBox pro to install the latest version of BusyBox (this may make the phone reboot, you have to keep going until it does get installed). Then you need to use the root fixer. But go and follow the proper root procedure, it explains it better. You should find it in the general forum.

Click to collapse Hi gamer649, thank's for your reply. i just reinstall my superSU using framaroot, and the rootfixer finish its job flawlessly.
May I ask, is it possible to upgrade to this firmware then root? Or is it only possible with rootfixer?
M8 won't root
I had a rooted M8, however something was going wrong as it constantly rebooted. So I did a factory reset and that fixed the problem. However now it won't root for some reason. I have TWRP recovery and flashed the root file however when I do root checker it stated that I do not have root access. Anyone know what's wrong?

Just use the normal install method from Google play. Twrp auto Installs the su binary the first time it is booted in to. Then just update super su via play store.

Q rooting FNC1
okay so I used towelroot, which said it gave me root access, but when ever I go to twrp app to flash the recovery. never prompts me for root access. I try and use the app anyways, and it just force closes. so i tried using just in general anot root app, but nothing works.. so im wondering if I did something wrong or if there is another root method I should be using. Thanks so much! build number: FNC1
Download and run Root Checker Basic. It will confirm or deny root. I also install SuperSU which manages app access to root level activities. Give it a try!
Make sure you installed SuperSU and installed the binary

not working i think chain fire didn't release root for 5.0.1.... if i knew that, i wouldn't update to this android
Works fine on Nexus/GPe devices so must be an Sense thing
Rooted my M8 with S-ON and bootloader unlocked. I installed first openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.3 Then entered recovery mode to install SuperSU (latest version) worked fine. Did have a WiFi issue, no sure why, but after factory reset problem was solved. Didi have also the facebook messenger lag problem when in app sound was active.
I just went back to 4.4.3 in the end and installed the viperone Rom and have to say i am impressed Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Free mobile app

T707A Lollipop with root. How do I use SuperSU instead of KingoRoot?
Ok. So, I downloaded the KingRoot apk onto the T707a 5.0.2 from the website using chrome on the tab. It took a lot of tries and a long time, but it is rooted! Now, I'd really like to uninstall KingRoot and use SuperSU. When I open SuperSU, my error is: "SU Binary occupied". I really want to be able to use FlashFire and other rooted apps, but it seems that FF required SuperSU. It will not run with KingRoot. I really dont want to have to start over with Kit Kat. PLEASE let me know, is there a way to use SuperSU instead of KingRoot after root is achieved on Lollipop? I need semi-detailed instructions please. AND I am not sure how to uninstall kingroot correctly. I have tried scouring xda and havent found much on this..... Thanks!
