Hi guys I'll share tutorial how to Root Your Xperia M2 Single & Dual
I just n00bs here, need to share my knowledge

4.3 JELLY BEAN

LOCKED BOOTLOADER
Using Towel Root (Download) download & click Root, Your device will rebooted. After that download SuperSU in Play Store.

UNLOCK BOOTLOADER
Just Download The Recovery For Your Device (Single or Dual) and Download SuperSU.zip and flash the zip You get rooted fast!!

4.4 KITKAT

LOCKED BOOTLOADER
1. Downgrade to JB, Root your Phone using Towel Root in Jelly Bean
2. Update via OTA to KK 4.4.2 or KK 4.4.4 whatever you need (4.4.4 is recommended)
3. In this process, don't try to install or uninstall anything
4. Wait for booting finish
5. Install latest SuperSU from Play Store
6. Open Flashtool in PC
7. Connect your phone to PC
8. Now flashtool will describe your phone information, then click Root Tab in top, after that choose force root by TowelRoot

UNLOCK BOOTLOADER
1. Flash FTF 4.4 Kitkat
2. Flash CWM Kernel (Whatever it's for 4.3 or 4.4) You must get booted to CWM only
3. Download & Flash SuperSU.zip
4. Power Off & Flash Kernel 4.4 From FTF
5. You can find how to fix mount system here

If you have notifications from SuperSU that notice binary needs update, just choose in Normal mode, don't try in CWM/TWRP mode!

Hit Thanks if I helped You :victory:

[zacutesz]

still not working on kitkat 4.4.2 bro

@Bin4ry @DooMLoRD kitkat root 4.4.2 Update please

From the towelroot thread:

"..towelroot used a specific vulnerability in kernels dated before June 3. If your kernel is dated after June 3, the vulnerability has been patched and there is nothing GeoHot can "fix" to make towelroot work on your device.."

Looks like the kernel for the M2 KitKat update has this fixed. Too bad; might stay on 4.3 Jelly Bean for a while. I just can't give up root access and Xposed Framework.

:silly:

4.4 KITKAT

UNLOCK BOOTLOADER
Downgrade Your M2 to 4.3 JB, do root method like Root For 4.3 JB. Flash FTF Kitkat with exclude Kernel.sin & Loader.sin. Very Important!! Don't do Wipe Cache & Data!! Then reboot to homescreen you will get Root!! You can find how to fix mount system here

Which part of this makes it impossible to use it on a locked bootloader? Also, I don't seem to be able to untick flashing of loader.sin in flashtool. Did you mean remove it from .ftf?

Hello,
Does the author of this method root KK, may explain how he was able to make a flash FTF KK (18.3.C.0.37) without kernel.sin and loader.sin ????
Me after this operation the phone at all is not "wake"
Please write exactly step by step how this done.
A loader.sin and kernel.sin I was able to remove the FTF using rar
Because I do not see the possibility of removing loader.sin by flashtool.
Also, this method presented here, unfortunately, did not work.
Back to JB.
In spite of everything thank you to the author's guide to root for the KK .

Regards.

This is what I'm getting as well. I thought it was because of the bootloader, but yours is unlocked so... The instructions for KK are clearly unclear (no pun intended)

AFAIK, I don't think there is cwm for KK...
also, does this allow us to mount R/W?

 

[wrtease5865]

so is your root for unlocked bootloaders only ,or for all ,and have you tested it .alinolaw71
