For everyone who suffers from black screen and application FCs after reboot this is my method:

1. Download KingRoot 4.6 and Super-SUme from the first post
2. Download SuperSU from this post and put it on SDcard
3. Install KingRoot 4.6, after that open the app and tap "Try to Root" and let it settle
4. Install Super-SUme, after that open and give the app permission
5. Tap to the blue button and let it settle but DO NOT REBOOT after it's done
6. Download and install XZDualRecovery following this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261606
7. Reboot to Recovery and flash SuperSU from SDcard
8. Then reboot, wait for the application optimization
9. Go to root/system/app/Kinguser and delete the FOLDER of Kinguser(include kinguser.apk)
10. Reboot and done

Hey bro.
I've got an Xperia Z that is completely untouched so far (in terms of software changes.)
OS: 5.1.1 Build Version: 10.7.A.0.222 (completely stock)
So, with locked bootloader, will your method work if I follow it step-by-step as you mentioned?
Some users with latest official firmware were having bootloop issues following some rooting methods.
Just want to be perfectly sure before starting the procedure. Thanks.
Also, I need root to backup my DRM Keys. So installing a custom recovery and following your procedure would disturb my DRM keys?

I've done it with 10.7.A.0.228, completely stock, locked bootloader, so I think it will work on .222 too, because the diference between these two versions is minor and both 5.1.1. I've tried the guide from first post and I suffered from FCs and black screen with only reboot or power off after application optimization. I've also got bootloop once, so I decided to do an "all in" and tried what I wrote and it worked. But as everyone and every guide tells you: I'll not be responsible for any damage, so do it on your own risk. DRM keys backup only need if you unlock your booloader. Rooting your phone with locked booloader won't affect your DRM keys and you won't loose anything. If you try this let me know how is it done :good:

Thanks for your reply.
I'll try your method and then report back soon.

Returning to the thread after a while. What I didn't mention was that the sw versions are important. The newest is not always the best, I think that the newer versions of KingRoot have grown more clever when it comes to being kicked off the throne by supersu and it tries to defend itself by manifesting nasty behaviour like bootlooping. So that's why one should use a combination already seen functioning. I have this z1 which I used to fiddle with and that's my conclusion based on what I saw on that.

Edit: after mentioning the Z1 I thought why not give it a go while I'm here. C6903, stock Lollipop 5.1.1 (14.6.A.1.236). So I opened the first message of this thread, and repeated what I did with the Z. Oh yes, we have the Root. Not even needed to clean up afterwards. Just follow the steps one by one and do what you are told to - except the step where it tells you to use the latest KingRoot. Just don't. Use the older version of the two included in the first post instead.

I tried AttilaGolik method, but same black screen problem on 228 (I tried with KingRoot 4.5 and 4.6). Did someone find a solution, please?

Maybe I didn't flash SuperSu correctly using Recovery. Is there a tutorial, please?

Can't downgrade using Flashtool as BL can't be unlocked.

Sorry I'm a true noob.

I just rooted with KR 5.02
It worked out perfect

 

[bkmd100]

Thank you man you saved me !!!!!
------------------------------------------------------
Edit 1 : the app keeps coming back , I delete the folder and it reappear again , wot?
-------------------------------------------------------
Edit 2 : ez fix: just after using supersume I deleted the folder , not after reboot, fixed the problem

 

[lingowistico]

Thanks a lot for this method!

I am completely baffled and appalled by the fact this tutorial isn't included in any of the stickied noob threads.
Have mods all gone on a permanent vacation, wtf? I had to use google to find this thread.

Hi

I have a problem with this. I followed the instructions to the t (used KingRoot 4.6) and wonder why this happens:

- root checker confirms everything is rooted properly
- an app named "Purify" was installed but could be uninstalled the normal way
- the kingroot app now identifies itself as a system app and can't be uninstalled
- es file explorer pro can't be used for root file exploring. I know I purchased it years ago for this purpose but when I flip the switch to enable root functions supersu pops up, I grant permission to use root and a few seconds later in es file explorer pro the root switch is turned off automatically. When I look at the logs in supersu I have an awful amount of entries like "needs supersu pro".

What is going on here? I'm poor and need to use this phone as a daily driver and because it lacks a few things I want to add them via apps that need root. Is everyone ****ing me from all angles at the same time now? Are they all trying to make a quick dollar on the side from people like me? Because really, I think my problems are not that I rooted incorrectly (hardly possible if you can read) but rather that apps misbehave on purpose. Is this possible? This idea seems to be reinforced by the Kingroot app which claimed that rooting was done incorrectly (after I went through the whole procedure and after it itself told me that everything was alright after the first time using it)

BTW, why is everyone talking about Android 5.1.1 for this phone? After a few unsuccessful ventures into the realm of custom ROMs I searched the latest official file available for my German Z1, flashed it with flashtool, and have Android 5.0.2 now with no OTA update available. What does this mean?

Thanks
