Z2 Root Exploit

Hey guys, this is a cross-post of sorts. I just got root execution on my stock Z2 Tablet and it appears that the same method should work for Z2 phone. I have a Z2 phone but just haven't tested it on that one yet.

Here is my Windows, Linux and Mac OSX script to grab the TA partition from Sony devices and deploy full root (superuser + reboot script):
https://mega.co.nz/#!jRB1FBJT!RKIi13TRj__mi7pKIGXP654CBJHi2gc0bIlYONcSfZQ [Update, v11]

Requirements:
1. Be on a firmware earlier than .402
Instructions:
1. Extract exploit.tar.gz and run ./root.sh (Linux) or root.bat (Windows)
2. Follow the instructions and your TA.img will be given and su will be deployed.

Features:
This disables SELinux, takes out sony_ric and then deploys su to /system/xbin/su
This works on ALL Sony Android mobile phones.
This can be run on any operating system.
Survives reboots [thanks to chargemon by DooMLoRD]

and its done!!! full root achieved! no more remount /system issues

doing some final testing with @norti!

@xsacha

great work!

i am just cleaning up some of the code and making it more automated for a full root

Till the time I am figuring this out here is a windows port of the exploit...

Download: exploitv4-TA_BACKUP-WINDOWS.7z


its a bit cleaner... slightly more automated....

just follow the instructions which come in the command prompt!

it will automatically pull the TA.img too
