zergRush don't work if you updated your phone after 11/2011
If you updated your phone, you need to flash (with flashtool) a previous version of stock GB in order to root your phone

How do we know if our phone was updated after 11/2011? My phone is the same as the OP, R800i 2.3.4 but I don't remember when I updated to the 2.3.4 or would that be the bad update... lol

If I just want to remove or move to SD card some of system apps like the Bruce Lee game, do I need to root or unlock the bootloader or both? I'm not looking for Custom ROMs just free up some memory.
Found a super easy way.

After a few frustrating days of searching I found this website http://www.unlockroot.com/index.htm which I just ran and it worked great! I am now a proud owner of a rooted SE XPlay. This program only took about 5 minutes to root my phone and give me superuser (still not sure what that is).
At any rate, you download the program, install it, follow the directions and then run it. It's that simple.
You can find some good info here on apps that you can remove. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1046699

ok thanks, i may look into that
i just gave up with all the downgrading and rooting
i mainly wanted it to play games on it, but i have found almost all games i wanted for it now, exept for king of fighters, and the latest version of FPSE, both do require a rooted phone
but im happy with what i got already, still might look into rooting it for all the other perks though

Fpse does not require a rooted phone (unless Im reading what you mean wrong then disregard)
Easiest way to root your phone running ANY firmware is to unlock your bootloader and flash Superuser in CWM and your all set.

Well I tried unlocking the bootloader and not sure why but wasn't able to. I used the program that I linked to above which was a simple as installing the program, running it, connecting my phone, clicking the ROOT button and within a few seconds my phone rebooted and was rooted with superuser installed. After that I installed Titanium Backup Pro and went to town.
TOO EASY! :good:
Heck I rooted 4 phones with that program within about 10 minutes.

Anyone successfully rooted v1277 with Superoneclick? I know there's a general thread on rooting this phone, but I was curious about this method specifically and if it worked for anybody. There's also UnlockRoot, but it doesn't seem trustworthy.

Thanks, I was already aware of that thread. I'm trying to see if anyone successfully rooted this phone using Superoneclick.
Decided to forget about it and use the guide after all. Ran into the local.prop issue, but was able to get by it. Thanks to FrankVM for all the valuable info.

You searched to find your answer before posting, right?
If you mean did I search for Kingo in the Xperia ZL forum, then yes, no hits.
I see it works for others but I'm not sure about ours as I see no mention in the developer sub forum.
Thanks for the non-answer.

Don't know where that's coming from. It says "Sony XperiaZL > Xperia ZL Q&A, Help & Troublshooting" at the top of this page I'm on right now.

Yes it does. Works perfectly. True one click rooting.

Well, it did. It worked fine a few days ago, today I unlocked my BL to see if I could. I relocked it, restored my TA, and tried to root again using this method. Now it fails root with a script error. Thats all it says, script error. Any idea's?
I want to try to root my phone, with Kingo root. The phone is already with the bootloader unlocked, after i followed those steps : http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/
The phone is C6502, model number 10.3.1.A.2.67
What do you think, guys ? Would this method work for ?
Thank you
They just updated the program to 1.0.9 for Sony devices that where getting a script error, like mine was after I unlocked boot loader. Give it a try, it cant damage any thing.
Kingo root enquiry for Galaxy Tab3 T211
Sorry for jumping into this tread but I would like to know how Kingo root works. Is there a specific route I need to follow to get this to work on my Tab, switching off, boot up or do I just plug it into my PC with Kingo running?
Sorry again for jumping into this thread.
does this method work for 4.3?
Title pretty much says it all. Does using KingRoot on Z1 Compact 14A.5.0.270 delete the DRM keys ? Note that it roots without Unlocking the Bootloader.
Thank you.

No. It doesn't. At least my keys weren't affected. But immediately after rooting with Kingroot I used the replace Kingroot with SU program and everything went fine.

Kingroot is currently not working on 5.1.1. The requests have been made. Check out the Kingroot XDA thread recent entries. There are other rooting options in this forum.

Hi mate,
what method did you use to root 5.1.1?
I spent hours last night clearing 5gb of space on c:\ so I could update my z1 to 5.1 using pc companion.
Finally got it updated and now I realise kingroot doesnt work on 5.1 yet.
Any pointers would be much appreciated,
Cheers

One user in Kingroot thread says they rooted using an older version, (I think he said 4.1). I haven't looked into it more than that, but maybe worth a look. Besides that, probably a PRF is your only option with locked BL for now.

Cheers mate, I'll look into that older version of kingroot, failing that I'll wait (and hope) for them to update kingroot as I'm too chicken to go the PRF route... yet.
Thanks for the tip
