Just make sure to have your screen awake for the whole process and to grant the superuser request half way through the processReally? This I gotta try

Thanks for the guide, rooted in few secs, FW .402. Had to run it twice though, first time was stuck on "cleaning"

ok, after a lot of trial and error I found the tower root that also installs the Twrp dual recovery to be the most efficient way to get root without unlocking
I posted this in the sony thread but I think it may be more appropriate in this thread.
I am using a z2 tablet with the latest firmware and running into issues. I make it all the way to the end of the process, pass the cleaning stage. I then get a message saying checking to see if machine is rooted, I then get a message saying machine is not rooted.
I am pretty sure the Z2 is rooted as it has been confirmed by root checker basic and I updated the binary on superSU with no problems. I am trying to install the sd fix but I get a red screen saying ( error update failed,platform.xml file could not be updated) Any ideas why?

That is the same as I got. I tried it a couple of times. Same error.
Will have to try and do the Dual Recovery thing I guess...
What is the dual recovery thing? Sounds complicated. The guide made it seem simple. Maybe the guide does not work on all z2 models.
Awesomely Easy..
1. Charged up tablet
2. enable usb debugging
3. enable install unknown apps
4. downloaded easy root
5. connected tablet
6. run easy root
7. reboot
8. install super su
9, install busybox
10. install root check
check root? yes!
THANK YOU!!!

So, to make thinks clear, this rooting method does not unlock bootloader and thus does not cause any DRM / X-Reality problems, etc?
Cheers.

Can anyone confirm this rooting method works on the tablet z2 WiFi only 32gb version? Thanks

I'm trying to update the tablet, but since it's rooted I can't do it and it says 17.1.2.A.0.314 can't be verified.
How do I unroot so I can have the latest update?

I've rooted using this method, had to go through the process 3 times for it to work, but got there I'm the end.
Now there is an ota update that keeps nagging me to upgrade. 314, but I'm guessing if I let it update I will loose root or cause other problems and be unable to re-root.

Simply freeze the update app via Titanium Backup (since, when rooted, it will be useless anyway).
Just letting you know:
rooted mine a couple of days ago. It had build number 17.1.A.2.36
16Gb WiFi-only model.
works like charm!
