[ROOT] 14.6.A.0.368 via KingRoot

[OdhinnBG]

Finally... i made it WORKS
Thats the way i ROOT my 14.6.A.0.368 firmware with LOCKED bootloader.
1. Installed KingRoot V4.6.0 128 and rooted with it
2. Installed Super-Sume Pro v9.1.9 and this program replaced KingRoot with SuperSU
3. Downloaded Z1C-lockeddualrecovery2.8.22-RELEASE.flashable.zip <- This is not mistake, you need FLASHABLE version... yes i know you don't have active recovery to flash it.
4. Install Flashfire from http://flashfireapk.com/ and flash the recovery zip with it...
5. Enjoy

P.s. may be you will need RIC Disabler/Killer also... i have installed it before, but doesn't noticed it do something

Please thank or just write something to approve this works for you

OLD: "Hello there. After update with Sony PC Companion i have lost my root access. Today KingRoot rooted my phone again... now it time to install dual recovery and back to SuperSU.
Cheers
UPDATE: I have replaced KingRoot SU app with help of Super-Sume Pro v9.1.9 and now i have SuperSU installed and working fine, but... still can't use Z1C-lockeddualrecovery2.8.22-RELEASE.installer or XZ-lockeddualrecovery2.8.22-RELEASE.installer. They installed fine, but after reboot phone show RED light WITHOUT vibration and no matter i press UP or DOWN i can't enter recovery and boots android."

What version? Do you have a link? So far, I haven't heard of Kingroot working on 5.1. Also, do you know if 'kingroot to SuperSU' script works with it?

If you are rooted you cannot OTA update. You can update via PC Companion without losing anything (I'm not quite sure though) than root with Kingroot.

Yes, ota doesn't work. Thanks for your reply.
But then i was telling myself to risk a bit and folowing the tutorial that i was using from updating from 14.5.A.0.270 to 14.6A.0.368 and it works without loosing any data.

First try wipe caches in recovery, that might fix it.
