[Q] Using Kingroot deletes DRM keys ? - Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Title pretty much says it all. Does using KingRoot on Z1 Compact 14A.5.0.270 delete the DRM keys ? Note that it roots without Unlocking the Bootloader.
Thank you.

No. It doesn't. At least my keys weren't affected. But immediately after rooting with Kingroot I used the replace Kingroot with SU program and everything went fine.

Kingroot is currently not working on 5.1.1. The requests have been made. Check out the Kingroot XDA thread recent entries. There are other rooting options in this forum.

Hi mate,
what method did you use to root 5.1.1?
I spent hours last night clearing 5gb of space on c:\ so I could update my z1 to 5.1 using pc companion.
Finally got it updated and now I realise kingroot doesnt work on 5.1 yet.
Any pointers would be much appreciated,
Cheers

One user in Kingroot thread says they rooted using an older version, (I think he said 4.1). I haven't looked into it more than that, but maybe worth a look. Besides that, probably a PRF is your only option with locked BL for now.

Cheers mate, I'll look into that older version of kingroot, failing that I'll wait (and hope) for them to update kingroot as I'm too chicken to go the PRF route... yet.
Thanks for the tip

FULL Root via Bin4ry

Please check this thread for FULL ROOT of the Xperia M with locked bootloader:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
Some of you who may have owned previous Sony phones may recognise the legendar Bina4y, he has been rooting Sony phones for years.
Just to let you know, root option 1 worked for me. You will see SU installed at the end. This is now the simplest and fullest root available on the Xperia M that I have used.
Bootloader
SharpnShiny said:
If like me and others you had trouble rooting for various reasons and don't want to go to extreme methods just for a simple root, know that there are other options out there!
One that is becoming very popular on XDA, is used on many threads I can confirm works for the Xperia M. One thread is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2434453
The root procedure is here: http://www.mgyun.com/vroot
It comes from a Chinese source but don't be intimidated if you can't read everything. When you download it, if offers everything in English. It's really simple, a lot like the 'One Click Root' from past versions of Android.
Enjoy! :good:

Huh? Have any mods on XDA looked into this? I read a lot of tech news (like many on here) and I keep hearing more positive things about it.
Don't get me wrong, I do not work for them in any way! If Doomlord or any other super-pros get FULL root on this I will happily use it.

HELP: ROOTING the Att LG GPad 7 v410 Lollipop....SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME?

Let me start by saying I APOLOGIZE, As I know this may not be the right section but I've asked there as well and couldn't find help. I feel as though I've exhausted all my resources and still can't get my Gpad to root. I've tried the one click method, kingroot, towelroot, various ADB scripts. You name it I tried them all out there. Is there anyone out there that knows how I can get this device rooted? For the past 3 weeks alone my mission had been to simply very this tablet rooted.
Sorry but I think we are lost no Root for this tablet with lollipop 5.0.2 and the bad part no exist a KDZ or TOT to back to stock.
Damn that's what I was fearing. I may just have to return it as, being NON ROOTED is not an option for me. I'll probably get a Nexus.

Not saying that I don't believe you, but would you mind posting screenshots? I'm terribly curious.
And if you are cool with it, I'd like to work with you to get a dump of the 5.0.2 ROM. Maybe we can package it in to a zip for others.
Thanks!

Excellent. Thank you!
This tablet came to me as 5.0.2 and I rooted it with LG One Click Root. Then while trying to fully enable tethering and half drunk I partially-bricked it (it would boot to a black screen and after a moment start adbd) so I flashed the 4.4.2 test-keys image and successfully rooted again with One Click Root (obviously). The trick is to change the COM port of the download mode driver from COM21 to COM17, as One Click Root expects the device to use COM17. Before starting, boot into download mode with the button combo (powered off, hold volume up while plugging in USB cord) and use Device Manager to change the port of the "LGE Mobile USB Serial Port" to COM17. It may take a few moments for the tablet to show up in Device Manager. Reboot the tablet. Now One Click Root will run through smoothly in one shot.

Did you try KingRoot? (Not kingO) It worked fine with mine K420N.
Yes. Didn't get even close, even with OEM unlocked mode in dev settings.
ive used kingroot to root mines which it did but the thing is after installing L speed and Root booster i ended up with a Boot verifcation fail, i don't know exactly whether or not the problem was caused by Kingroot or by the other two apps

I have the T-Mobile 428 version, I have tried KingRoot, KingoRoot, iRoot, StumpRoot, LG One Click Root and Framaroot on this phone and nothing. I also tried a root method from a dev in XDA, just can't remember the name. It would be nice to have root on this device.

You got it wrong bro most of LG devices specially those running on Android M doesn't support "one click root". Lg K10 can be root by using adb, twrp, and super su package. Using commands in cmd will play a major role.
Follow this thread and look for its 1st page.

I had the same problem a few hours ago. Kingo Root refused to work at all, so I had to use the Kingroot app. It made my phone lag like crazy after it rooted it, but it eventually worked. When you use either Kingo Root or Kingroot, what's the exact error that you get? Are you using Root Checker to see if you achieved root?
I always did a factory reset before starting the root process, it just seemed to make things go smoother. At least it would stay stable long enough to get all the adb stuff done. (Barely though )

That sucks, to be honest it's been awhile since I did the unlock process. Maybe something changed with the way that app roots. Have you already tried an older version of kingroot? I know you've probably tried all this stuff but sometimes things get overlooked.

Rooted once with the newest one and it didn't reset even once. But then it just resets everytime. I did another factory reset so we shall see. I'll keep on trying.

The kingroot 5.0 worked on second try.. so no idea why the older ones didn't work.
Would you happen to know which rom supports more languages other then default ones? shipping this phone to Europe tomorrow, don't know how stable CM roms are.
