Root Xperia C4/C5 firmware 5.1 LB

nhkhanh068 · Feb 6, 2016

sry for my bad English. hope u guys can understand and make your device rooted
I try its on my xperia c4 E5333, and some people try its on their xperia c5 and its works too.
First upgrade your device to android 5.1, dont turn on usb debugging. if its on, turn it off
Second download kingroot from here ( .apk) http://www.kingroot.net and install kingroot. then run
So u your device get root now

. So easy

after that, if you want to change kingroot to super su, u can folowing this:
download this file http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3333295&d=1432683529 and extract to internal sdcard
install app "Terminal Emulator" from ch play. open it and type "su" for root permission, then type "sh /sdcard/mrw/root.sh", wait...
Reboot your phone, and finaly your phone get root with supersu.
So its a way to root Xperia C4/C5. Can anyone make recovery for C4/C5. Tks alots

I was able to root my E5506 (Wind Mobile) with or without USB debugging on. I tried both ways and it works using the latest Kingroot 4.8 app. It might reboot in the middle of rooting but just continue after the phone reboots. if it fails just try to root it again and it should work after a few tries.

I managed to install Titanium Backup Pro, Busy Box without any issues.

Note: If your Titanium Backup won't allow you to backup in your sd card, just download the app in the play store called SDfix. This app should fix your sd issues in TB. [emoji4]

If you flash a firmware using flashtool you will lose root so you'll have to re-root.

Nice, I'll try to change the root manager to SuperSU. Thanks for the info!

xeno.morph · Feb 9, 2016

let me know if you manage to make it work. I tried to switch to super su but I keep getting error on su binary when it tries to update

OK Root C4

In my C4 I run until the fifth attempt. Xperia c4 5306
Fine...

After rooting can i use flashify to flash custon recovery? There's a custom recovery for C5 ultra by Bigrammy.

xeno.morph · Feb 10, 2016

if your bootloader is unlocked you probably can install a custom recovery. my phone's bootloader is still locked just was able to get root access.

Doesn't biggrammy's custom recovery method address' this fact? It may show as "secure = yes" but recovery can still be flashed.

Quote:

following info from Sony my phone stated “NO” and as you can see the bootloader info said secure = yes but been a I went ahead anyway and here is the weird and lucky for us thing.
After I unlocked it I got (bootloader) secure = NO from fastboot but the System software still reported Bootloader unlock allowed = No
Nothing tripped no warranty warnings nothing it’s like the system never even knew sweet.

xeno.morph · Feb 10, 2016

Oh yeah! Confirmed Kingroot to SuperSU is a success here too! Thank you pablo_xperia for sharing that link [emoji4]

I don't know why it didn't work for me the first time I rooted my phone but this time definitely worked like a charm.

Yes I understand that bigrammy did mention in his thread that some may show "secure=yes" but recovery can still be flashed. I am just worried about mine being a carrier bought phone not being able to flash the fotakernel. I don't want to screw up my phone just yet. Right now i'm fine with being rooted and have superSU installed.

Oh yeah, forgot about that. You'll have to double check carrier locked phones

Yup, i know mine is carrier locked because its from Wind Mobile (Canada). I know I can't unlock my bootloader due to this which is unfortunate

Is backing up of TA partition working for Xperia C4? Has anyone tried it yet?

gsser · Feb 10, 2016

You have to install supersu and terminal. Put wrm dir into phone storage

Follow the commands,

Su
/Sdcard/wrm/root.sh

When it completes, go launch supersu and update binary.

Then reboot
