- Tool By Anto Kus (download here http://www.2shared.com/file/e9sDTGJk/rootfixer.html?)
- some snacks and soda
steps
1. Install framaroot 1.5.3 ,open , then select install supersu, then select gandalf, if its failed, try, try n try until success notification appear and ask to reebot,your phone will reboot, after your phone on again , look for supersu app in menu , if supersu not appear in menu try,try n try again until supersu appears
2. Install BusyBox Pro v9.7.3 , if busybox ask for backup, select yes, then busyboz will loading, after 100%, MAKE SURE BUSYBOX IS INSTALLED IN SYSTEM/XBIN select install, select normal install, after success,reboot your XM
up here, Your phone was half rooted (what is half rooted? its mean that your phone can not edit system file, if you try to edit your system file your XM will sudden reboot) (THIS STEP IS SO YOU CAN CREATE A BACKUP OF YOUR SYSTEM SETTINGS BEFORE BUSYBOX IS INSTALLED BUT IF YOUR NOT BOTHERED ABOUT A BACKUP THEN YOU CAN SKIP INSTALLING THIS BUSYBOX VERSION AND DOWNLOAD THE BUSYBOX FREE AND USE THAT ONE TO INSTALL THE LATEST VERSION STRAIGHT AWAY)
3. eat your snack and drink your soda, stay relax 
4. Extact Tool by Anto Kus to your pc (you will get superuser.bat and supersu.bat), then connect your XM (connect by msc and you must have install pcc on your pc), then run supersu.bat when prompted grant root access on phone
your xm will reboot
Once phone reboots wait for pc to detect phone again then finish supersu.bat then unplug device, MAKE SURE TO RERUN THE. bat FILE AGAIN AFTER FIRST REBOOT TO DOUBLE CHECK THAT THE REBOOT FIX HAS BEEN INSTALLED CORRECTLY, BEFORE RUNNING THE SCRIPT AGAIN AFTER PHONE HAS BEEN DETECTED BY THE PC UNPLUG THE PHONE THEN RERUN THE .bat FILE.
5. DOWNLOAD THE LATEST BUSYBOX FREE FROM PLAY MARKET AND LET SMART INSTALL FINISH LOADING, ONCE LOADED SELECT LATEST BUSYBOX VERSION (CURRENTLY AT V1.22.1-stericson) AND MAKE SURE ITS INSTALLED IN SYSTEM/XBIN. ONCE INSTALLED REBOOT PHONE THEN YOUR DONE

Make sure USB debugging is enabled and that PCC has installed the drivers. It didn't work for me either but after PCC installed the drivers it found my device.
This message was brought to you by my Sony Xperia M (C1905), using the XDA app.
OK, finally it worked. Everything like in the guide + enabling USB Debugging

Now just wait for Android 4.4 version of the network's Root KyokoN Docomo and left.
docomo announced their presentation will be held on May 14 (in Japan).
https://www.nttdocomo.co.jp/product...x.html?cid=CRP_PRD_sns_tw_2014_summer_feature
They will announce Xperia Z2 (SO-03F), A2 (SO-04F) and Z2 Tablet (SO-05F).
docomo's Z got update to 4.2 nine days before Z1 (4.2) is launched.
Z1 should get 4.4 soon before/after SO-03F is released, but docomo is still developing 4.4.
They even writes "OS: Android 4.4 (Under investigation)" in their catalog...

can anyone anyone upload the kitkat version for SO-01F.. since I cannot update on wifi connection.. thanks
...
Got it updated using Update Service for sony
I finally got 4.4.2 for my DoCoMo z1. I got It from an ota update. It seems pretty good so far, but there seem to be a lot of wakelocks.
Hello! Has anyone here tried any custom roms on their SO-01F? Just curious if anyone has tried or not. I was rooted previously and noticed there was an OTA so I reflashed the Docomo ftf .119 and upgraded my phone with the OTA. Then I re-rooted and installed ,multi recovery.
@RyokoN: you have updated and root android 4.4.2 version from the docomo network yet?
two members on getting it there.

How to disable sony_ric to mount system as RW:
1. Download ric_disable pack
https://mega.co.nz/#!mp5jyDKa!l13Rm8r3bspzmhwtWmChXZf0MlWJkfKsHI9Nh2p4l_Q
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4fBjQuS8IxPVmgyajFyRFlvdnM/edit?usp=sharing
2. If you have recovery installed in your system, install "sony_ric_disabler_signed.zip".
If you don't have recovery or "sony_ric_disabler_signed.zip" doesn't work for you,
run these commands in command prompt:
Code:
adb push writekmem /data/local/tmp
adb push findricaddr /data/local/tmp
adb shell
chmod 0755 writekmem
chmod 0755 findricaddr
su
/data/local/tmp/findricaddr | /data/local/tmp/busybox tail -n2 | /data/local/tmp/busybox head -n1 | /data/local/tmp/busybox cut -d= -f2 > /data/local/tmp/ricaddr
chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/ricaddr
/data/local/tmp/writekmem `/data/local/tmp/busybox cat /data/local/tmp/ricaddr` 0
3. Run this command to mount system as RW:
Code:
mount -o remount,rw /system
4. Done!
If "sony_ric_disabler_signed.zip" doesn't work, you have to run these commands at every boot (for example, by Tasker "Run Shell" at "Device Boot").
Code:
su
/data/local/tmp/findricaddr | /data/local/tmp/busybox tail -n2 | /data/local/tmp/busybox head -n1 | /data/local/tmp/busybox cut -d= -f2 > /data/local/tmp/ricaddr
chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/ricaddr

No, I didn't test but other user reported it's working.
EasyRootTool v8 has a problem to check MD5 of tr.apk, so you have to find older tr.apk or ask dev to support new tr.apk.

Dude dual recovery doesn't install if rooted via kingroot...if m not mistaken...
well friends, its my first post here on xda.
Eventually I found the easiest way to root D5322 (.472 lollipop 5.0.2 firmware)
and
that is
just run kingroot (I tried english version)
kinguser works like a charm
no need to have superuser or superSU
every app that requires root, works as smooth as butter
like busybox force2SD and all.
I attached the english version of kingroot with this post
those who had rooted their (.470) phone with kingroot and repented later , can also try..
well..
.
.
and if you want to get rid of kinguser that had gotten installed after rooting with kingroot
here is a trick..
I am attaching a zip (thanks to @edwuard )
download that zip
put it in internal memory
extarct that zip in internal memory
now you will get a folder named mrw in your internal memory
..
..
install terminal emulator from market
write the following commands
su
(now grant superuser access)
$ will change in to #
now write the second command
sh /sdcard/mrw/root.sh
(there is space after sh . You can copy this command from here and paste to terminal emulator)
after some sequences in terminal emulator..it will launch SuperSU
and ofcourse remove kinguser
update the binary of superSU
verify root with root checker

Thank you so much for sharing. I can now transfer some of my apps to ext sd card. I can now install more games. Though it can't be changed to supersu using the script and the file you've provided due to unable to update binary, foldermount is working perfectly with kingroot. By the way, I'm using the LTE version D5303 with lollipop .472 and it's now rooted.

This is not even close to simple dude..
This is what i did to root :

2. Flash DUAL_RECOVERY_D5322-LP.img
3. Install supersu then power off
4. Open flashtool and Flash STOCK KERNEL 5.1.1 ONLY KERNEL
5. REBOOT & VIOLA
there are few additions required for noob like me
To make work this method
Requirement :
Rooted D5322 with 4.x.x or 5.0.1 & working recovery installed.
To install recovery:
make sure that you have :
Enabled USB debugging
Enabled Unknown sources

Need step by Step instructions please
Hello
I am a novice with many of the tools listed & the steps outlined, can somebody please help with step by step instructions,
maybe email me [email protected]
:good:
Thanks. For my XPERIA T2 ULTRA DUAL I had to made a change:
Instead of using the Recovery-Software you (rituraj_singh) offered I had to use the software (TWRP) recommended b abcdjdj in his post from 27th May 2014 ((D5322) Dual Recovery) on the XDA-Forum.
For the not-experienced Users of Androxyde Xperia Flash Tool: You can use the XperiFirm-Software (XI-Button in the Flash-Tool) and install the 5.0.1 (19.3.A.0.472)-Firmware from MELA Latin, but you have to overwrite also the Userdata and the Apps-Log, otherwise there are problems. After flashing use KingRoot to root your device, than replace kinguser using the batch-script of w0lfdroid.com (May 2015) placing the mrw-folder (included in the downloaded zip) on the intern memory (important) and executing it with Terminal Emulator. Than open SuperSu (installed by the script, not by you), and actualize the root-script. Afterwards reboot.
A Tip: After having installed the TWRP-Software on your phone you could have problems rebooting into the system, so prepare all and after having flashed the custom prf-rom on the device all would be function!

Here comes a step-by-step-Version (summary) of all the "Posts"s needed for rooting Lollipop 5.1.1 on your Sony Xperia T2 Ultra (Dual).
The copyright is by the "Post"-authors like rituraj_singh and abcdjdj (I took the links to the posts nearby the description of the step) and by w0lfdroid.com, xperiafirmware.com and the software-producers.
I only wanted to create a step-by-step-summary. There is no garantuee which garantuees success using the summery! No responsability dad it does not destroy your mobilephone. Use it at your own risk! Thank you to the original "owners" of the posts. I hope the summary is ok for them! Otherwise contact me.
Time: maybe 1 hour or 2 hours
Tipp: if you until yet did not install Android 5.1.1 on your Xperia T2 Ultra Dual you do not have to follow the steps which are describing how to download the older Firmware via XperiFirm, but you should have installed the FlashTool just for the drivers (You won't use it directly). You can use the steps describing how to root the older Firmware using KingRoot, than continue with step 7.
1) Install the Androxyde FlashTool on your Computer: http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php or found on the XDA-Forum, install the ADB-Packages (ADB, ADB-Drivers) on your Computer and make the ADB-Command part of the "path"-Variable of your Computers Terminal (see Google)

Well my friend, first at all, this is a awsome guide, it really help me to load the 5.1.1 on my SP. I Must said that even if this looks
overwhelming at the begining, it's pretty easy to do it.
Just for the FeedBack, this method works in:
T2 Ultra D5306 Single SIM, TELCEL.
I use the US CUSTOM Stock ROM 5.1.1 ( 19.4.A.0.182 ), if ask for the FTF, look at the FTF MEGAPOST.
Thanks to @rituraj_singh for find this method and @theokon to make the Easy-Mode Guide.
This thread must being Sticky.
PS: You have to add one step: When you reboot after the Flash, it can take a while in start the smartphone, It is to prevent panic if they see it takes a lot time to start, they might think it is bricked and try to restart it. :good:
This works great for rooting the phone (D5322) but for me link2sd doesn't read the 2nd partition and keeps giving me unable to mount errors.

You got the error when you try to mount on /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 ? it and said that the mount fail?
I had that error as well, maybe you have to try this @virgilone2:
1.- Uninstall the Link2SD.
2.- Install the SD MAID and run it, clean it up.
3.- Reinstall the Link2SD.
4.- Install the Recovery (I use this) [ XZDualRecovery 2.8.21 ] or the same you use in the guide.
5.- Run the Recovery, and go to Wipe > Advance Wipe > Davik Cache, Swipe to Wipe, after it ends go to Reboot > System.
6.- Before your smartphone start as usual, going to pop one little window with a counter, wait to end (Maybe take a while).
7.-Run you Link2SD, it have to Mount the ext2 partition and ask for reboot, if isnt the case, just recreate the mount script.
8.- Enjoy your Link2SD in Lollipop 5.1.1 :good:
This works for me, i hope works for you as well
Windows 10 Driver Problems
When having updated to Windows 10 driver problems could happen.
When entering "fastboot devices" in your computer's terminal and nothinh happens it is like this.
You can solve this easily:
1) Plug in your phone in fastboot mode into the computer (Volume Up + Plug-In of the USB-cable)
2) Go to the"Devices manager" (or called simular, as I don't know how to translate it correctly), where you will find the unknown S1 fastboot driver.
3) Download the official Sony flashing tool "EMMA" and reinstall the "Android Studio" in order to get the correct drivers
4) For security download also the "Universal ADB Drivers Package" from chip.de and install it
5) Back in the Device Manager reinstall the correct driver selecting it from the drivers list (!): Sony SA0110 - ADB Interface driver

Well thanks!! Links needed to perform the steps suggested are everywhere in the realm of Internet. Uploading same thing again and again is waste of space,data and everything. Hope you understand.
Ftf can be downloaded through xperi-firm and recovery can be downloaded from nut's Xperia files website. SuperSU is already available in more than 1000 places on Internet. And prf creator is created by a certain developer which is already available on xda. So reposting his item might be considered as kinda theft/plagiarism. And this is already mentioned in this post that it's a sequel of previous post. So please do your own bit of work/home work before posting negative comments.

This post is a sequel of previous post. To perform the steps mentioned you need to be on earlier versions of Android. Like 5.0.2 or earlier. And recovery must be installed in that. If you're on 5.0.2 follow my post about how to root on 5.0.2.
