Root for a new build?

[alex009988]

Hello everyone. I've updated my Xperia tablet Z4 lte to the 28.0.А,8,240. So does it means that I've lost the ability to make the root?((((( because the instruction of only one method for rooting says that it fits only for 28.0.A.7.24 or 28.0.A.7.27 builds.

get your version numbers straight

look up Androplus kernel here (read the whole thread)

give us some sources for

only one method for rooting

I know several methods, they all exchange the kernel on the boot partition and have a more or less tedious way to install SuperSU

Year, thank you for your answer. I see root is possible for our device, but I hesitate to do it as I don't know exactly which apps would stop working once and for all without drm keys and there are no good custom roms, even cyanogenmod. I wonder, this device was released ten months ago, and so little done.
It make me feel blue, as it kills the hope that something would change in the nearest feature((((((
If you need my help in testing new ways of root, some new roms, feel free to send a word to me, I would try to help as much as I can))))

How do you learn how to root a phone, I have no tech background

 

[DHGE]

depends...

How do you learn how to root

for some people it is just "can haz video asap!?"

If you venture into uncharted territory you needs lots of technical background and some experience.
What works on one device may work with a little modification on another.

So you read a lot. xdadevelopers is a good starting point. There are books on the subject. Look for "reverse engineering" or "system security". Good Linux knowledge is very useful.

The tools you need are all free and come with more documentation than you want to read with your Linux distro.
