[Q] I have never rooted a phone, help me? - Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi. Can you help me to root my phone? I have error: device not rooted with EasyRootTool v11.
Here is a screenshot: http : // i . imgur . com / HwXjyOZ . png
My Device Info: http: // i . imgur . com / 6qsbPG0 . png
USB Debugging is On so it's not of it. Please help me, I hate KitKat and all of it bugs like camera use, battery usage etc. so I backed to 4.3 with flashtool but now I want to root it to be able to hide my buttons and use aps in fullscreen mode. Also I'm searching a way to make sound output louder. I heard that it is also able to be done after root. Can you explain me everything about that and help me for root I will be really grateful if you do it because I watched a lot tutorials for root etc but always problems.

I think you need to run cmd.exe as a administrator (right click run as administrator) or maybe you don't have Java installed or maybe you don't have the device drivers installed. It's hard to tell.
You'll also need to flash recovery.
But right now we'll focus on rooting.
EDIT: Also go into Settings -> Security -> and tick unknown sources (just for good measure)

What do you mean with "flash recovery". How to do it? And the unknown service was ticked when I tried to root. Now I will try to run as administrator and will tell if the root is again unsuccessful.

JellyBean is not supported in NewRoot tool.!
NewRoot works great. This is an easiest way to root phones with locked bootloader on kitkat!!

Successfuly rooted with v9. Now can you help me with increase the output volume?
Ok. I completely rooted and increased my volume of the speaker and of the headphones output! I will say how I made everything to be easy to next people who want to do root and increasing volume of their Z1 Compact. First I downloaded "EasyRootTool_v9". I connected my z1c in USB debugging mod. Also ticked unknown sources. Then I connected the phone with the PC and ran easyroottool as administrator. If v9 doesn't root your phone try different versions! Then I downloaded volume files from this link "http : //forum . xda-developers . com / showthread.php?t=2476498" . I chose JB4.3 XZ1C: Volume boost jb. You may be with different sony phone or version of android so download needed one for your phone and android. When you download it, extract the 2 files which are in system/etc/snd_soc_msm/ somewhere on your PC. After you extract them upload them to your phone. For example in downloads folder. Then you have to download a program from Google Play named ES File Explorer, run it and click the top-left icon. Scroll down and open "Tools" bar. There you have to enable Root Explorer and click on it then click Mount R/W and put "/", "/system" to RW. In default they are on RO. After that again from the top-left icon go to Local and click Download. There you will find the 2 uploaded files from the pc (They are named snd_soc_msm_Taiko and snd_soc_msm_Taiko_1x. Mark them both and copy them. Then you click on the window right next to the top-left icon until it is not Device. Then find and open system/etc/snd_soc_msm and paste these both files. Restart your phone and everything is done. Now you have louder speaker and output volume. I can already rave with my headphones, x-mini etc. Really happy that I don't have a reason to prefer iPhone for music. Already have loud android smartphone. Hope you will understand me. Sorry for bad English.
One last question. Is it dangerous for the speaker to be so loud? Is there a way to edit the file and decrease the volume a little bit?

In case you're interested in only increasing the headphone's volume level (and not the speaker): http://forum.xda-developers.com/sony-xperia-z1-compact/themes-apps/mod-headphone-volume-boost-stock-k-k-4-t2833705

Tried the newroot route and it actually works perfectly with my 4.4.4 updated Z1c. Before that I've tried running the latest towelroot.apk(Aug/2014) directly on the phone with no luck, EasyRootTool v.11 via Windows also failed on me until now.
Give newroot a go!

I've no problem with EasyRootTool v11 but indeed I tried to fail a time with NewRoot on 4.4.4 so it sometimes depended by luck.
EasyRootTool v11 sometimes you will need run the script 2 to 3 times to make sure it actually rooted.

The issue I was having with ERT v11 is the included adb binary couldn't found my device (I have USB driver installed, debug mode enabled, etc). But with NR (on fedora 20), once I killed and restarted adb server with sudo, everything works.
I guess this is YMMV

Rooted via unsecured boot.img
and successfully flashed ClockWorkMod Recovery.
We need to modify the stock boot.img of the phone because it is "impossible" to root the device that has "ro.secure=1" setting in the boot.img , that is the reason why we need to modify the stock boot.img to have an "ro.secure=0"
If you are able to flash the modified boot.img to the phone.
ANY ROOTING METHOD will do, like
superoneclick, unlock me, or any exploit that uses ZergRush
take note that O+8.7 is MT6575
just follow instructions here if you want how to modify your own stock boot.img

OPLUS 7.1 Tab
Has anyone tried rooting their OPlus Tab 7.1? Mine's new so I'm still reluctant to do it. Will definitely ruin the warranty.
Just need to know if someone has successfully done that so I can root mine once the warranty is expired.
Is there a custom rom for this smartphone? If there is,please send me a message.
WORKING
Just rooted my phone yesterday...
What I did is that I just follow those given steps stated above but you really have to be careful because it might not work properly..
it is said in the step #6 that you must enable usb debugging to do this you have to go to:
SETTINGS >> APPLICATION >> DEVELOPMENT >> USB DEBUGGING (enable) and TURN OFF YOUR MOBILE PHONE.
step #7 Click DOWNLOAD FIRST and wait for the message in the bottom right said: PLEASE INSERT USB CABLE you will be given a 14sec time so you really have to insert the cable fast. After this step you will see the yellow bar to download and after that you will see the green box for successful confirmation.
try to reboot your phone and turn it on.
after this you can now root your phone but I suggest you use the SuperOneClick v2.3.3 ShortFuse.zip.
(z4root and universal androot is not applicable. I tried this 2 kind of root apps already.)
Just ENABLE USB DEBUGGING, insert your USB CABLE to the computer.
Download superoneclick from any site make sure to extract the files open it and you will see an ANDROID ICON with superoneclick.exe run the application then a box will appear.
Go to ADVANCE and click SEARCH DRIVERS then the USB DRIVER for O+ 8.7 will automatically download.

Karbonn A2 root

Warning:I am not responisible for any damage to your phone and rooting usually nullifies the warranty. so please procede with your own risk
I tried to root my karbonn A2 for 2 weeks and finally i got it. so im gonna share the steps involved in rooting and also provoide the tools for it.
NOTE: I do not take credit for any tool since all the tools were already available online, so credit goes to whoever programmed them. only thing i did was to alter the method slightly to get my phone rooted.
Lets begin. Before we start rooting our phone, most important thing is the drivers. so u need two types of drivers one is ADB (android debugging bridge) drivers and the other is preloader drivers. i have attached both of these drivers in the attachments u can download it.
Step1[only for beginners]: Go to setting>applications>development>enable USB debugging in the phone, then connect your phone to ur pc (remove all previous drivers if u have installed) then go to device manager>devices, right click on the usb device and click update driver and browse to folder containing the SPdrvers (u need to extract the folder from the attachment first).If driver is successfully installed then u should see "android phone" in ur device manager. to confirm it just run adb devices from the command line by chagning the directory to where adb.exe is, u should see the list of devices attached to ur pc. (usually adb.exe will be in android sdk tools folder or if u dont have one then check in ADB folder from superoneclick in the attachment).
Step2: ok, now that u have installed adb drivers, u need to install preloader driver (also known as downloading mode in some devices). to do this, disconnect ur phone from the pc, then switch off the phone, remove the battery and then connect ur phone to pc again (without the battery). then u should see windows trying to install drivers and fails. then go to device manager again and browse to folder containing USB VCOM drivers (see attachment). after it successfully installs procede to step 3.
Step3:: download, extract the files MTKROM and SPflash tool to ur pc. then put the battery inside ur phone then switch it on, connect it to pc (enable debugging all the time). then open command line then go to adb folder then type :adb devices- u should see the list of device attached (u will get some long numbers so dont worry). then type "adb shell" (without the quotes). u will get a $ sign, then type "cat proc/mtd > /sdcard/firmware.info" if its successful then a file named firmware.info will be created in ur sdcard root. then copy that file to ur pc.
Step 4: Now open that firmware.info in MTKROM.exe u should see a list tables and address like in the image below. then click save scatter and rename the filename to MT6575 instead of MT6573 (and leave everthing else as it is). so a file named "MT6575_Android_scatter.txt" will be created.
Step 5: Now open Spflash tool and load the scatter file in that. u should see something like this in the image below.
STEPS TO BACKUP ORIGINAL BOOT AND RECOVERY
Step 6: Before we actually begin to root its important to make a backup of current images. so to do that, go to READ BACK tab in sp flash tool. click on Add>double click on the page file and save as "Boot.img" somewhere safe. then click on "Read Page only", this is very important. then look at the address side by side from MTKROM and enter into sptool. the start address is the address in which the boot.img begins and length is the length of boot.img. so final address will be startaddress+length =start address of next image (recovery.img). In MTKROM the start address is given as "PART ADDRESS". after entering those carefully click ok. if u want to be sure then use programmer calculator and add the address.
Note :the address will be in hexadecimal format not decimal.
Step7: In order to read the firmware from the phone, disconnect the phone from your pc, remove the battery, dont connect it yet. now click on "Read back" button in the sptool (its after Add,remove button). now the software starts searching for the device. now connect the device to the pc (without battery ofcourse). now if have installed USB VCOM drivers correctly then the sp tool should detect ur device and start reading from it. u will see Red colour in the
task bar when it detects then blue colour while the tool is reading the phone. wait untill the reading is complete. A green circle will pop up after it successfully reads from the device. (refer the images below)
Step 8: repeat step seven as described above for recovery.img (save the file as recovery.img) then select "read page only" option, enter start address as 0x0980000 and length as 0x0500000. (please enter the address carefully cross check with MTKROM image addresses.)
Note: You have to disconnect the device first then click read back button after entering the addresses then connect the device, otherwise the sptool wont detect your device!.
Actual Rooting Procedure
Step 9: Now that you have backed up both boot and recovery images its time to start the actual rooting. download the boot.img file from the attachment and save to your pc (dont replace it with your backup image that you saved earlier). go to download tab in the sp tool and tick only boot.img and uncheck all others (if any of them has been checked already) and click on Bootimg and browse for the folder where u downloaded boot.img from the attachment and NOT THE BACKUP! after that disconnect your device, then click download button above( after format->upgrade button) or f9 from keyboard. the tool will start searching the usb com ports. now connect your device and wait till it downloads fully. Note: In downloading your will get RED colour first, then YELLOW colour while flashing, and finally a GREEN circle after flashing is complete).
Step 10: The most important and complicates steps are over. now all you have to do is put your battery to your phone and switch it on. now after it sucessfully boots up, open superonclick.exe (you will get this software online and its very popular tool for rooting) and connect the device to your pc (enable debugging of course), then click Root button in superoneclick and Voila! your phone is rooted. enjoy and dont forget to press thanks button if ive helped
Note: u will need .NET framework 3.5 to run superoneclick.
Method To Unroot
For unrooting your mobile all you have to do is flash the original, backup boot image back to your phone. just open sptool and load the scatter file, then click on bootimg then browse to wherever u have stored backup boot.img then click download button then connect your device without the battery and thats it. you will get back original firmware without the root!.
Clockwork mod recovery for A2
There is no official cwm recovery for A2, but i ported cwm for other MT65xx devices to A2. so here are the steps to flash.
step 1: download recovery.img from the attachment.
step 2: open sp flash tool and load scatter.txt (for detailed description refer rooting steps). then tick recoveryimg and browse and set the path of the recovery.img you just downloaded from attachment.
step3: click on download button at the top or press f9. then take out the battery from the phone and connect it to the pc. the tool will detect your phone and start flashing cwm recovery.wait untill the green circle pops up.
step 4: now put in the battery and press power button+volume up and hold it for few seconds and voila!! cwm recovery boots up. And to revert back to original recovery just flash the recovery.img that you backed up during rooting process using the above steps.
Note: Do Not factory reset your phone without backing up the IMEI number. After rooting your device please backup your phones IMEI number which is stored in data/nvram/md/NVRAM/NVD_IMEI/MP0B_001 to a safe place. or there is an application called mobileuncletools (a chinese app) which helps to backup your IMEI to sdcard and restore it back. if u loose your IMEI and reset your phone then you cannot call or recieve sms etc
No service and invalid IMEI solution
explanation:
In case u did factory reset of the phone, then all your data will be wiped including the imei number. it will be reverted to factory imei number, hence you cannot connect to any mobile networks in india or anywhere else because most network operators wont allow to use the network with dupicate or invalid imei numbers. every device has a specific imei number. in this device your original imei numbers (15 digits) will be on the back of your battery.
Restoring is tough very simple procedure, creating the required files is a major headache. At first i thought it was impossible to restore the imei back (trust me i tried all the available solutions that u get in the internet, infact there are 5 different types of solutions, none of which worked for this device). luckily one day i found a chinese software which actually did create a imei file that is compatible with this device (phew !, yeah i know) and so i did successully restored my imei back and i can once again connect to mobile network and make calls..:victory: so here it goes.
How to restore IMEI number? (MUST BE A ROOTED PHONE)
1) if u have made the backup of MP0B_001 file in /data/nvram/md/NVRAM/NVD_IMEI/MP0B_001 , then install root explorer and simply replace your current file with the backed up MP0B_001 and set the permissions to rw-rw---- and restart.
2) if u havent backed it up (too bad), then download the chinese software sn_gen.zip from the attachments and enter both imei numbers that is found in the back of your battery (enter the numbers correctly and cross check it again, its 15 digit number). then the software generates a new MP0B_001 file, copy and paste in the above mentioned directory and set the permissions to rw-rw---- and restart.:fingers-crossed:
dont forget to press thanks button if ive helped you :good:

its not possible to put ICS in A2 (since its officially not supported to our device), although cyanogenmod 9 can be installed but its very difficult to build it since most of the drivers are properitery and they wont release the sources. so its almost impossible to run cm9 and even if someone did build cm9 it wont run smoothly because of very low amount ram in our device (<256MB and ICS needs more than that to work smoothly). however im working to build cm7 (based on gingerbread) for our device and even that is really difficult since there is no device tree in github for this device. so i need build cm7 from scratch and that is not an easy job. so if any developers are working on building cm7 for A2 please pm me so that we can work together..

if we create any partion sd memory for our internal memory can it run cm10 b'cuz galaxy ace can run cm10 it has just 256MB ram and some wat 800MHZ speed only but our device has 256MD ram with 1GHZ processor speed so i think it can also run cm10 if we create a partition memory from ous sd card thats wat i think so........
waiting for reply from ur side thanks in advance.......

lol i was a galaxy ace user untill last dec. (its touch digitizer got broke, so i temporarily bought karbonn). anyway i do know ace can run cm10 and pretty much any device can, even ours can run it. i did not say our device doesnt run at all. i said it wont run smoothly and developing cm other than stock os version is very very difficult since our device is a local device and threre is no lot of support for it. so if anything goes wrong we may permanently brick our devices and may not find solution at all.
on the other hand, since i was a former ace user, i know that even though ace can run cm9 and cm10 there were a lot of problem in getting camera, video recording, and other applications because of unavialablity of their sources. so furthermore most of extra features that arent available in gingerbread cannot be used ex: face recognition, google now,otg usb etc( they are built for high end devices). u wont notice the difference in optimizations and performance of jelly bean in low end devices because they need sufficient hardware to utilize the os to full extent. so only thing u get out of installing cm is user interface (which u can change using of launchers, oh yes there are big bunches of launchers out there) and some features of cm (deodexd rom,custom kernel with overclocking features and some tweaks.)
coming back to our device, ive been trying to build cm7 for our device and its really difficult without a device tree and some good prior experience in building cm for atleast 2 devices. so my advice is that first we will build a fully working cm7 for our device and later if possible we will port cm10.

what do u mean by reset? did u do factory reset from recovery or did u clear flash from by holding power+down? (oh btw recovery is power+up in our device).
either way ur imei number has been erased and it will be reset to factory number . i spent 1 week day and night searching for a solution and that is exactly why i told u to backup your MB0P_001 file.
in order to repair it u need to root ur phone. follow above steps and paste ur imei number (dial *#06#).
Nothing in SuperOneClick
I am successful in doing everything, but when I open SuperOneClick, it does not show any device, and clicking "Root" greys off the button for a few seconds, and everything is back to normal again. Nothing happens to the phone.
What is wrong?

ru sure u replaced boot.img which was attached in attachments to your phone? if it was successful then u have unlocked the bootloader. the problem here seems to be like superonclick isnt detecting ur phone when connected to pc. In case if the usb debugging is turned off enable it and check if ur device is listed in adb devices command as explained above. if it does and still rooting doesnt work, then maybe you are using wrong version of superoneclick. because some of the loopholes which is used to root your phone (by gaining temporary access to shell) is not available in older versions. the version must be compatible with gingerbread. try downloading superonclick 2.3.3 version.
also, after u root with superonclick, restart it and please check if u have superuser app in ur phone(it will be automatically installed by superoneclick, dont install it manually since the app should be in /system/app and su command should be in /system/bin directory, which u cannot do by installing it manually). if its installed then u have root access, if u still want to confirm just download root checker app from google play and run it.
CM10 means Jelly Bean Which has minimum Requirement of 512MB ram... device cant even Support Cm9(ics)...And generally cynogenmods are not developed for local Indian Brands.....Instead Try this making your phone look like XPERIA:

[GUIDE] [ROOT]NTT Docomo Fujitsu Arrows X F-02E Root

I DO NOT TAKE CREDIT FOR THE WORK. I ONLY TRANSLATED THE SCRIPTS TO ENGLISH .
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK OR BREAK YOUR FUJITSU.
I have managed to find a bat file which will allow you to root your F-02E japanese phone.
I have also found a script to allow system R/W made by kikuhare
Steps Involved:
Make sure your phone has 100% charge.
Download the Root + System Mount
Extract the zip's to different folders.
Enable USB debugging under Menu > Settings > Developer Options.
Point to the folder where you extracted drivers from "usb_driver_F-02E_1.0.zip". Wait for drivers to install.
Make sure the phone is connected as PTP not MTP.
CMD into the folder "f-02e_oneclick_su_installer". It is inside the "Root + System Mount_1" files folder.
Run the runme.bat.
Download "Root Checker by joeykrim" from the Play Store.
Run the "Root Checker" app
Wait for the process to finish.
UPDATE System R/W
Connect phone to computer
Download the System Read Write Mounter_1.zip <<<<<< Only need to download if you did not download the "Root + System Mount_1.zip" file.
CMD into the "F-02E_system-mounter" It is inside the "Root + System Mount_1" files folder.
Extract the file and run the"START.bat"
Run everytime the system restarts to mount system as R/W.
Enjoy root .
NOTE: This method does not give full root permissions. You will still be able to underclock the CPU to some degree and use the CoreControl app to disable cores. I will have to run start.bat inside F-02E_system-mounter folder everytime the phone restarts to get system R/W
Drivers: usb_driver_F-02E_1.0.zip
Root Includes System Mount: Root + System Mount_1.zip
System R/W Mounter: System Read Write Mounter_1.zip
Screenshots:
Feel free to ask questions.

No, not enough developers and interest for the phone outside Japan. I doubt anyone will be willing to put in effort as well
Oh well, but it is a very good phone, i think ill still get it though. I just wanted to know is half of it in Chinese even if you select english, i just heard this on youtube about another one of fujitsu's phones?

Only Docomo and Fujistu apps are in Japanese. Everything else is in English.
Thats fine i suppose with root explorer i can delete those apps by deleting the apk in system app? Also if you have xposed app settings you can change the language per app would that also work?

I have just frozen them, just incase if the phone needs the at somepoint. Xposed framework doesnt work as it need system R/W and the root method has not allowed system R/W mainly because the phone bootloader not unlocked. Secondly make sure you do not uninstall/disable the Phonebook and Phonebook Service provided by Docomo. Its key to allowing you to add and sync contacts.
So Xposed wont work at all then, thats a shame what about lucky patcher, does that need R/W?
Sent from my Xperia T
Improved the .bat file. Now you will have system R/W
Download the root file again and run it. Follow the steps starting at 10 if you have already rooted. :good:
Thanks

anyone else besides the OP got their f02 rooted with this?
I may not be able to help any further. I have boot looped my phone. I cannot get it past the NTT Docomo screen. I think I know what is causing it but I cannot get the phone connected to the PC. I may need to send it into Fujitsu.
Good luck on fixing it

You can reset the factory settings. Reboot the phone and hold the volume up, the phone will boot into recovery mode. You will be able to do a factory recovery.

I have not been able to overcome the issue. It is a design issue. Because it is waterproof phone the heat cannot disperse.
The only thing I have been able to do is keep the CPU frequency down to lower the time it takes for the phone to heat up.

2. flash only the .108 kernel using flashtool
3. Use newroot
4. Reflash back your newer kernel using flashtool

Thanks to the OP for this, looks like a great solution.
Is there any particular firmware you have to be running for this to work? Or do you need to downgrade?
Cheers
Kurt

Thanks a lot! It works!
Nobody mention models or what kind of rom does this program root why? is very funny no real data, any one with solid comments about models and rom versions?
Sorry if I'm rude but I think we need some info like what firmware version works with this root or any prerequisite should we have before rooting like bootloader being unlocked etc. Also a simple tutorial would be nice for newbies to avoid confusion. Ill test this out on the latest firmware [.108] on an unlocked bootloader and I will report if this is working.
Its booth for locked on unlocked bootloaders but for no already rooted devices (except rooted by our tool), its tested on last 3 android versions. There is 2 things, it can work or not work, you can try in jellybean and let me know (probaly not working). No more words here since tool is very easy and anybody know what to do with them Enjoy if you found them usefull and easy! Anybody can post detail installation here if allready used my aplication, I am lazy sory!
So I just tested it out and it works. So I figured out, why not just make a tutorial video since it's so simple. Here it is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06S9GUL9U5s
I enabled USB Debugging and Unknown Sources just to be sure.
No need unknown source since usb debuging is enought! Is not easy? I think very easy Did you tried my recovery after rooting, I just want to know how its working on z1, (you need to press volume button after blue led blink to enter into recovery)
It's really easy to root now. Just 1 click. CWM works too. Here's more proof that it works. Good work man

Here's the instructions:
1: Download and extract newroot.rar
2: Enable USB Debugging
-You can do this by going into Settings>About Phone and tapping the Build Number multiple times to activate Developer Options
-Then Settings>Developer Options and check USB Debugging
3: Plug in your phone your PC
4: Run the root software [Pay close attention to your phone]
5: A pop-up will come up on your phone. Allow it
6: Let it do its thing
7: It will reboot and you're rooted
8: Enjoy
Also show them my video
