towelroot not
towelroot no working em xperia T2 dual
Towelroot works fine in T2 Ultra Dual.
First install SuperSU from Play Store
Enable USB Debbuging
And then follow towelroot steps.
And if you get stuck in a 'Clean' message on the prompt,just disable and enable USB Debbuging without disconnecting your phone.
It works for me. Try it for your own risks.
Sorry for bad english.

What version do u have?...If its 4.4.2 then u must try EasyRoot Toolkit. It works like charm.
The only method that worked was this:
In the 19.1.1.C.0.56
1. flash 4.4.2 stock kernel
2. root by Easyroot tool
3. flash 4.4.3 stock kernel
4. Install recovery
5. Flash Supersu on Recovery

If you have the ftf file,just flash it with flashtool but exclude everything except kernel...that will do

select all options except the kernel and uncheck data. After giving Flash the kernel 4.4.2, the screen will turn black, so this leaves the USB enabled before the deputation process. After restart, wait for 10 minutes and do the root.
hello, could you show me way to get recovery img for 19.1.1.C.0.56???

Yes...after flashing the 4.4.2 kernel...the screen will be black...so after switching the phone on.......wait for 5 minutes with the black screen...and then root it with the easyroot toolkit. and flash back the 4.4.3 kernel....after rooting is done switch the phone off..if ur having hard time switching off the phone cuz its black screen.....then do this >> prepare the kernel to flash......plug in the usb when ur phone is switched on.........now when flashtool prompts you to connect the phone.....switch off ur phone with pressing the volume up button and the power button.....when the phone reboots immediately press the volume down button and the kernel will be flashed... Kudos ur rooted with kitkat 4.4.3.

Here is what to do in order to get your T2 Ultra Dual rooted:-
Assuming you are on stock KitKat 4.4.3 ROM. First thing you need to do is.. You need to enable USB debugging and Installation from Unknown Sources....Accept your computer on the phone screen if it prompts to do so...check these thinigs before u flash the 4.4.2 kernel cuz afer flashing it u will endup with a Black screen and wont be able to do the changes.
1) Flash the 4.4.2 kernel with Flashtool.
After flashing is done ...reboot your phone.....your phone will boot with a black screen on....you would be able to hear the boot up sound tho and the touch sounds as well when u press the volume rockers. Wait for the phone to boot properly with the black screen for about 5-10 minutes and then move for step 2.
2) Root your phone.
While its with a black screen but u have already enabled USB debugging and Installation from Unknown Sources ...You are good to go...Just plug the USB in and root your phone with Easyroot Toolkit....Move to step 3.
3) Finally Flash back the 4.4.3 Kernel.
Now this is the final step to get your monster rooted with 4.4.3. You need to flash back the 4.4.3 kernel so prepare ur Flashtool and wait untill it prompts you to connect the phone. The phone is with a black screen so there is no way you can normally shut it down with the soft keys. So this is what you are supposed to do. Connect the phone to the PC while its "Switched On" and press the "Volume Up" Button and the Power button together (Hard Reset) ...The phone will reboot...but here is the trick....You have to press the Volume Down Button before the phone vibrates and reboots. If the phone reboots..Flashtool will not detect it...So press the volume down button at the right time....right before it vibrates..If you can find another way to switch the phone off....that will be more easy....atleast i couldnt find a way lol.Once you successfully connect the phone to Flashtool it will flash back the new kernel and Voila!! You have Root with KitKat 4.4.3.
Show me your Love once You succed
thank you so much for your detail instructions, i will going to try again and back to you, i think i tried to root my phone while it was in black screen but it was not success anyway i will try it again..

Hi, I have little problem with my xepria arc (unlocked booloader). a flash kernel by doomlord (doomkernel v20) - it's workig good, but I install incorrect zip from SDcard. Now I can run only recovery. Flashtool and fastboot aren't working, and I can flash new ROM, but without flastool i can't. Someone who help me pls? Thanks
I don't think that it's possible to break flashmode and fastboot mode with a single zip file. Pull out your battery for 10 seconds then put it back in and connect your phone (without turning it on) to a PC while holding "back" button. Green LED should illuminate. If it doesn't then repeat but this time hold "menu" button, blue LED should light up. If it doesn't work for you then I don't know how to help. Maybe you should reinstall drivers on your PC or try with different USB port or even another PC.
So, I try all my USB ports, two PC, PC suite and update service, flashtool,etc...but when I hold BACK button and connet USB cable , BLUE led only flash and on screen display DoomKernel logo and nothing else. I try repair my ARC for one week, but I'm hopeless :crying:
BLUE led only flash and on screen display DoomKernel logo

YOUR PHONE MUST BE TURNED OFF
Seriously turn it off and connect while holding back or menu if green or blue led flashes then its working.
-_- YES PHONE IS TURN OFF while I hold back or menu key and connect USB cable.....
And it's turning on by itself? Really weird...
---------- Post added at 11:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:03 PM ----------
Only thing that comes to my mind is flashing a ROM that's compatible with your kernel and then trying again.
so problem is,that i need flash new ROM/kernel, but flashtool and fastboot aren't working. When I turn off my device, hold a back/menu key and connect USB cable, don't turn on flashtool/fastboot mode....only display on screen kernel logo and then device reboot and hent repeat reboot .... I try install this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1994130 but it doesn'n work....I search on google and here too but nothing didn't work .... YES, I need flashing rom compatible with my kernel (I have it) but I don't get to to flastool/fastboot.... srry for my bad english
You said you flashed a wrong zip file.And the thread that you mentioned above is for xperia pro.Am I correct?
And you are using an Arc!
Bomber!
Try uninstalling the flashtool.Redownload another version of flashtool.
Run the drivers.Switch off your device.Press back button and see if this newer version picks up your phone.

But you don't need a flashtool or anything to flash a ROM because you have a working kernel with a recovery. Download a flashable zip file put it on your sd wipe all from the recovery and install your ROM.
yes,but i don't find flashable zip, who work on my kernel.....and this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1994130 is for arc too(during instalation i can choose from ARC,ARC S, PRO,NEO,RAY etc...)...
Do you know where I dowload flashable zip for my kernel?
Thx.
Its a GB kernel right? If so then you can try any GB stock based ROM. For example this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2083286
No no...it´s older kernel than GB ....
No it's not. If you are using Doomkernel then its 100% Ginger Bread based. There is nothing older than GB on Arc because this phone was released with this version of android back in 2011. Install ROM from my previous post and have fun with your device.

2 hours is enough. At some point it will try to boot. Then put it in flashmode and flash with Flashtool the ROM. Do not try to power it on. Wait,it will try to boot by himself.
Don't charge him from pc. Use wall socket.

8) If the phone is stuck at the booting up LG/Telco logo, you will need to manually wipe the data partition.
9) Force the phone off by holding the power button for appx 15secs.
10) Put the phone into recovery mode by holding the volume up and home button concurrently, then press the power button. Let go of all the buttons after you see the LG logo on screen for the 2nd time and the screen goes blank thereafter (backlight may still be on). The phone will kind of reboot and then enters recovery mode. Repeat the process if you did not get it the first time.
11) With the phone in Recovery Mode, connect it to the computer, wait for the drivers to load (if doing it for the first time), unzip the wipe batch file downloaded earlier from step (4), double click on wipe.bat to execute the wipe command.
12) Your phone will auto reboot when wiped and (hopefully) boot as per normal.

Extract file error could be because of a broken kdz or once a kdz larger than 1 gb is flashed using kdz updater it also gives this error

Another interesting thing is that, in my phone it is shown F180S but when i connect it to computer via usb, the LG support tool software shows it LGV500.
What about the matter Brother???
Thanks and Regards
If you've lost your imei without making EFS backup , you've lost it forever. There's no fix for this i guess. Best bet for you is use your phone as it is.

Updated phone to new update.
Started rooting as per guide on page1.
After flashing 4.4.2, easy root failed to root the device.
Multiple attempts but no success.
Flashed 4.4.3 update and booted system. Realised I has Super User already installed. Uninstalled SU.
Flashed 4.4.2 again and this time easy root rooted the phone.
Flashed 4.4.3 and bingo! SU was installed, updated binaries and phone is now rooted.

or its too bad that no one is understanding
64 views till now
no feedback
is every think ok out there ???
thanks for sharing this, it works as I did the most same way except making everything packed greatly as what you have done
the best of this was you made all files in one, extremely good for ones do not have 4.4.2 and 4.4.3 ftf files in hands
I guess most of guys do not want to try flash-power off-flash...
Maybe what you mean is only kernel,not the entire ftf file,right?

At step 4 you only flash the 4.4.2 kernel, (deselect everything else) not the entire .ftf or you'll end up with 4.4.2 on your phone. Similarly, at step 10 you only need to flash the 4.4.3 kernel, not the entire image.
You forgot to mention that an unlocked bootloader is required to use flashtool.
developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader
Also, if you unlock bootloader you lose warranty so backup TA partition before you proceed to keep warranty.
Well written guide. Success here. Rooted now.

Without unlocking your bootloader you cannot use flashtool, I suppose.

bought this cheap xperia z1 compact off a friend, never used a sony phone before so i thought rooting and installing custom firmware would be same as other android devices, the phone was running lolipop and i used kingroot to root it and then used flashify to install a custom kernel without knowing the device requires bootloader to be unlocked now my device wont turn on at all it vibrates 3 times and flashes red led if i press volume up +power button, i have been reading stuff online no solutions to my problem. tried flashtool but i cant get the device to recognised on the flashtool or get into recovery mode. which ever volume button i press and hold and try to power up it flashes 3 times red led. also tried volume up/down plugging into my laptop still red led. so can this device be unbricked or is it good as dead?

If bl is still locked, official Sony repair software might work, (but not sure if it will recognize that it was rooted and reject it). It's been a couple of years, but it used to be called PC Companion. You go to 'software update', and there's a 'repair phone' option.
Besides that, Flashtool is definitely your best bet. It takes a little setup, but not too bad - install Flashtool, and in the Flashtool folder is a 'drivers' folder, with a drivers.exe file. Run the exe and check boxes for 'fastboot', 'flashmode', and 'Rhine'. Let the drivers install, then connect phone in flash mode, (power off, hold volume down and plug it in). You should get 'installing device driver' popup. Click 'skip windows update check', and it will find the drivers already on computer from Flashtool. Now you need to download an ftf. Open Flashtool, and click the 'XF' button at the top. That opens Xperifirm. Find D5503, and click whatever regional fw you want. Now it will download and unpack. Whole thing takes about 10 minutes. When it's all done, open Flashtool, and select '' at the top, then choose 'flash mode', and navigate to the ftf file you downloaded. You need to double-click all the way down to the actual file and you will see all of the empty fields on the screen suddenly get filled in. If you want to go ahead and flash the whole thing, just click 'flash'; it takes about 10 minutes. Since you really only need the kernel, you can go to 'exclude' box and check everything except kernel files, then click 'flash', and it will be done in less than a minute.
Really appreciate for the information. But i just can't get flashtool or the pc companion detect the device. I don't know how to get it detected

Did you run drivers.exe and select the 3 checkboxes mentioned? Did it install successfully? If so, what happens when you plug in in flash mode?

Hey Levone. This bootloop thing has happened to me too. When i use flash mode, the led flashes green and then red, and nothing happens. I have my bootloader locked, and i flashed a new version of supersu, and got a bootloop. I lost my recovery, my OS, everything. I tried to get a stock firmware through xperifirm but that had a weird problem (some of the filenames were too long, so windows decided to not let me get that firmware). PC Companion does not recognize my phone. Could you help me?

I think you're not powered off. Hard to tell with black screen. Try holding power and volume up for a few seconds, and see if you feel 3 vibrations. The you're powered off. Then try to connect in flash mode. Flashing a bad kernel shouldn't hurt your flash mode or fastboot.

Did you follow the drivers install instructions above? The green flash is a good sign, even if it doesn't stay lit. If you have the drivers, (and adb too, I think), you should get 'installing driver' message.

Yea, i got the "installing driver" message. It installed the driver "adb interface" or something like that. I don't remember what was it called, but something with adb in it. I will try using flash mode with flashtool, but i need a firmware. It would really help if you could get the ftf file from your phone and upload it to mediafire or somewhere where i can download it.
