[ROOT][Z-Z3] How to root 5.0 Lollipop with rootkitXperia

AndroPlus · Oct 30, 2015

rootkitXperia is back again!

A Japanese developer, @cubeundcube made it possible to root some Android 5.0 Lollipop firmware directly (not 5.1 and 64bit devices, sadly...).
With new rootkitXperia, you don't need to roll back to KitKat when you lose root on locked bootloader!

* You can see some 5.1 firmwares in "support.txt", but "封鎖" means "blocked/patched", so they are not supported.

How to use rootkitXperia
1. Install adb driver for your device
2. Go to Settings > Developer options and tick USB debugging
3. Go to Settings > Security and tick Unknown sources
4. Connect your phone to your computer
5. Extract rootkitXperia_20150926.zip and run install.bat
6. When you see "— all finished —" in console, rooting is done.

NOTE: rootkitXperia won't install recovery or kill ric,
so you have to install XZDualRecovery.

The support file inside the tool says that support also 5.1.1 firmware at least the one for z1. Good thats a nice very nice news. Thanks

Here's the thing pulled through Google Translate:

■ domestic version
Z1 system: 14.3.B.0.310 previous
Z2 system: 17.1.1.B.3.240 (245) previous
Z3 system: 23.0.B.1.38 previous

■ Z2 & Z3 system (Overseas Version)
23.4.A.0.546 blockade
23.2.A.1.62 OK
23.1.A.1.28 OK

■ Z1 system (Overseas Version)
14.6.A.0.368 blockade
14.5.A.0.283 blockade
14.5.A.0.270 OK

■ Z system (Overseas Version)
10.7.A.0.222 blockade
10.6.A.0.454 OK

Domestic version means the Japanese versions. Probably.

I added Japanese models to the list.
You can see some 5.1 firmwares in "support.txt", but "封鎖" means "blocked/patched", so they are not supported.

[UPDATE]
Added C4, M4 Aqua and C5 Ultra

You have to set up by yourself.
It's really easy and you don't need to do again.

You can copy paste from wherever tool using adb like dualrecovery installer or kamome tool. Cheers

Yes all Z3+/Z4 firmwares are already patched before release.

What version?

freddy1991 · Sep 28, 2015

The same build number you mentioned at op
The phone rebooted once and when it booted up, the terminal window said " removing temporary files" and "finished. Press any key to continue "..

And no SuperSU?
If so I'll remove C5 Ultra from the list...

Yes. There's no SuperSU.
Also not working for M4 Aqua Dual but my M4 has a higher build number than the one at OP.

Please try again after run this command:
adb kill-server
adb start-server
If it fails, C5 Ultra is not really supported.

I have a M4 Auqa Dual (E2363), tried with both 26.1.B.2.102 and 26.1.B.2.129, there is no older firmware of this phone and it does not work.
the phone reboots and says all finished, but there is no SU loaded, and root is not there.
