I create this post just to tell people the quickpanel toggle from Xperia S work in Ion.
*Edit: My phone is bootloader unlocked and it is Lt28i.
Here is the post i follow:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1594947
Instruction:
Download only the SystemUI.apk (the rest doesn't work on ion and don't try, it will cause bootloop!!!!!!)
Change the permssion of SystemUI to
Owner -> Read and Write
Group -> Read
Others ->Read
Copy the file to /system/app (by using Root Explorer or whatever)
reboot the phone, and it works!!!
Warning: Make sure you know what are you doing before you actually do! If you do not follow this instruction, it might end up bootloop or the phone won't power on until you pull the battery (yes, i mean pull the battery)

So you are saying you have root on the ion? Care to explain how?
Oh mine is Lt28i, Sorry i didn't mention that

Okay so what did you do to root it? Do you have an unlocked bootloader?
yes, beside unlock bootloader there's no way we can get root from GB. currently all the methods in Xda doesn't work at all, i tried all of them.

Which method did you use to root once you unlocked the bootloader? And I take it you used the Sony official way correct?
i just use the Unsecure kernel that posted on development to get rooted. The way i unlock bootloader is using the sony official way. I don't think there's testpoint trick on this CPU yet.

That's what I figured. Just wanted to be sure. Have you tried relocking the bootloader? Just wanna know if the file works.

The relock file work pretty well. But I have to reflash the stock kernel after that, otherwise the phone wont power on. Of course it will lost root after that. I tried couple times already, so pretty sure it work

Hmm well I wouldn't consider that working. Will have to pass that on to the guy that made it so he can look into that. Would be nice to have a working relock file where you don't have to reflash stock after that.

I really want to know how to boot loader unlock.. also if bootloader unlock the optimus g pro can you unlock the korea version.??
i hate to break it to you but the device isnt unlocked etc. the app says right in the description.
Optimus G Pro support is due to drjbliss and loki

that would imply all freegee is doing is flashing a loki'd kernel/recovery. still able to do whatever you want thanks to loki but it doesnt mean the bootloader is blown open like you are thinking .

Thats correct just like the ATT s4, bootloader is still locked but using Loki work around. Only difference is they have roms lol

I read in the description it says UNLOCKS bootloader to confirm what do we do?
After using the app it said UNLOCKED and when I boot it says Device Unlock.

I've edited the app description to clarify this. I thought I had made it clear on the xda post and at the top of the app description for giving credit to bliss. The bootloader is still very much locked, but we have this working exploit thanks to loki. What I did was just build loki into cwm, so instead of the rom dev or kernel dev having to run the loki patch on their pc, now everytime someone flashes a zip or uses adb sideload their boot and recovery partitions are checked and lokified if needed. This just automates the loki process slightly. Freegee also makes it a little easier to flash these modified recoveries and disable the wallpaper (lge security) if someone wants to stay on a stock rom but just debloat it.
So please do not misunderstand, I just re-implemented loki. Please edit he thread title to indicate it was loki.

So does this mean devs can build roms without Loki patch and the recovery will do it for them?

i guess i dont understand? you guys could have had roms ages ago with 2nd init recovery. you could have had true cm ports with loki recovery. nothing has changed, there is two ways a device has development on it, either teh people who have it step forward or they find a dev who is interested.

Shabby is right. We could have had roms from the get go but no one either knows or wants to build. I was in the process of learning but LIFE showed up at my door and I had to take care of that first. Now that I'm single and living alone, I could get back to being a creep that lives in a basement(literally in a basement apartment), and try to learn how to build Roms.
Shabby I have a question: Is building Roms pretty much the same for all phones? Generally speaking that is. Because I will no longer have this phone much longer.
Please Help

yes, for the most part building is building. get your build machine set up, sync a repo, edit some manifests and makefiles, configure, compile! obviously there are device specific things when you are trying to debug but the process is basically the same for any cm based rom once teamlgog has the cm bugs worked out for camera, by, etc. once our cm is pretty stable I'll start putting together some roms if someone else doesn't beat me to the punch.
if you want to put together custom roms based on stock there are a bunch of guides in various places across xda on deodexing and using the kitchen, etc to modify resources and add/remove apps and features. and if you want to play around with custom kernels, there's a thread in here to get you started. good luck!
Guys After searching in both Z and ZL forum i didnt find TWRP or CWM recovery for Locked Bootloader. However i found XZ dualrecovery which i dont wanna install. Is there any single recovery available for Xperia ZL (Locked Bootloader 283 frimaware)

Mind me asking why you don't want to install XZDualRecovery? Because it works perfectly fine on ZL, and there are both installer and flashable packages specifically for our model. Works for me... Oh, and yes, I am on .283 LB, same as you.

OK, fair enough, I see your point. I personally like choice and flexibility, and having more than one recovery doesn't affect anything negatively, so "bloated" is not the word I would use, but it's just me...

That's not true. It means no kernels... There's things like safestrap that allow you to flash a ROM to a different partition, and select either stock, or (ROM name here) from initial boot-up.
The ROM is just the body of the car, (what we see), but to access the motor, (everything that makes what we see actually happen), that requires bootloader unlock ?.

We have no safestrap (developer bailed), loki, or bump. So no custom roms yet. Some devices cannot flash anything without unlocked bootloader. We have only had root a couple of days things will come. I should have been more clear in my previous post, I forgot this is XDA where everyone knows everything already.

Without custom recovery we may not get Xposed, hence no gravity box, but we can hope they get a non-recovery version working on the G4.
If you are rooted and run Xposed you NEED to freeze the OTA update checker, otherwise prepare for a bricked device after an update.
now what if I unroot?

Why would we need a custom recovery for Xposed? I only rooted my G3, nothing else, and I'm using G3 TweaksBox just fine.
All I need on the G4 is a new, updated TweaksBox and I'm good to go. Between that and titanium backup I have my G3 running perfect.
TWRP Recovery has been released for carrier branded devices as of a few hours ago

Currently Xposed for 5.1 requires you to flash it from a custom recovery. 5.0 was simply a file you installed.

We need a bootloader unlock or a workaround like bump on the G3, I haven't heard of any progress with this yet but I'd love to be proven wrong.
I think the main theme here is be patient. We could not have ANYONE working on anything for this phone. Root is awesome. Hopefully bootloader unlock is released soon.
I think the same patients. We just got root im sure they have been working toward a work around since the phone has been released. So eventually if its possible someone will find an exploit i just hope eventually they find something that works for all current versions.

Hello guys,
Here I'm sharing a little info about rooting Moto X Force (marshmallow) for those who don't know. Do not flash BETA-SuperSU-v2.64-20151220185127.zip it's giving lots of force closes. Note: I'm using EU version firmware.
This method is only for Moto X Force and not for Droid Turbo 2
Steps:
Install 6.0 OTA or either manually....
Download BETA-SuperSU-v2.62-3-20151211162651.zip
Download Moto X Style recovery from here
Go to bootloader and write the following command....
fastboot boot twrp-2.8.7.0-clark.img

Please edit first post with completely guide instead of "Described in other threads about how to boot Moto X Style Recovery..." Beginners need full lazy guide, experienced users don't need anything at all.
You're suggesting nandroid backup, have you tried to restore backup you made?

Is there any bug by using Moto X Style twrp?]

Just wondering because someone wrote that, after flashing manually or via OTA, you had to Unlock everytime.
Saturday when I'm back at home I'll root again.
Last time I got BootLoop after instaling SuperSu

Once unlocked, remains unlocked. Even for unofficial unlocks using exploit. At least it was the case for now. Moto used to have hardware fuse, which burns out after bl unlock. Not sure for Force.
Hi!, what about the v2.65-20151226141550 version?, do you know if it works for us?
I've tried this one. It doesn't work on MXF. Don't flash it.

Actually I got answer but didn't have time to test. Also I asked can I share the link on the forum but didn't get answer yet. It's new year after all. If someone is willing to test, send me pm.
Just to let you know, few of you sent me pm and I sent link for twrp back. According testers, it's still upside down. Already sent pm to the dev. Waiting for response.
