Great video as usual. Question: will i be able to install custom roms without unlocking the boot-loader? after following your tutorial and installing recovery? Thank you.
This is a beautifully phone with pretty descent specs. what is your opinion of the overall speed of phone? experiencing any lag? Great video as usual. Thanks, Vinny
253 cant be rooted directly bro... need to downgrade and follow this method... I feel id rather do a unlock bootloader and root... just need to look into it a bit... will do it asap
Mine only comes to cmd then it says : Wating for device *daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037* *daemon started successfully* Then it's frozen?!!?!
Thanks for the tutorial sir! Just rooted my Z. Just a quick question though. When I opened Play Store, the interface of was completely different. Did this happen because I rooted my phone? Thanks again! :)
C4ETech I tried to install CWM on my Xperia Z after rooting with EasyRoot. It seems that when I boot up and press the up volume of my device, it just changes the LED color and no boot screen is loaded. Just a bright blank screen and then the LED turns off. Is there something wrong with what I did? Should I re-root just to be safe? Hoping for your reply! Also to others who've experienced this, please share your thoughts! Thanks!
I successfully rooted my phone in less than 2 minutes Great video, (worked for my Xperia SP also). Video is straight to the point, not a second of timewasting. Confidently delivered

HI there, thanks for this tuto..i have do all steps good but when i press any button (in runme file) i have "waiting device" but nothing happens. Can you help please?
Hi mate i think the video is very clear and informative, but i have a problem in that it stops at "Daemon started successfully", before writing this i have searched the net and would have appeared to have tried all fixes available.
hello thanks for the video, i was wondering if you know about any programs of the root scene that will reset the hardlock sim counter , so i can unlock my xperia z to any carrier, any help will be apreciated
Thanks! I had some problems using this, somehow one of the drivers (the ADB interface thing) wasn't installing on my desktop, but when I tried on my laptop it all worked perfectly. Thanks again!
Well at the first rooted but nfc broke and luckily i just saw the description saw the fixing i just press it and i do what as u say it worked out Thanks very much
Buddy I cant get back to every comment and especially tech where things can get lost in the mix, thats y I request ppl to post in the forums the fix is simple, all u need to do is... go to the desc. above click on original thread link find a line right there in the 1st post that says "if u had an unlockable bootloader device, after using this method the device will be detected as LOCKED or unlock not possible!!! (to fix this use this fix)" click the "this fix" part download the file and flash
just finished rooting. Works perfect. I want to install Clockwork Mod but does my bootloader need to be unlocked to follow the steps on this video or can my bootloader remain locked
i have followed the tutorial step by step, NFC on, MSC working.. usb debugging on, problem is it stays with a white display and doesn't reboot. i believe it's because i have the 10.1.1.A.1.307 which is new, if that isn't the problem, what am i doing wrong? anyway thanks for the video
need to first unlock the bootloader and root bro am on 253... since am makin videos on other devices right now the xperia z is my daily driver and thats the reason y i havent done anything on it in a while... ill do a host of xz videos by the end of this month or early next month def.
Thnx for the good work. I get stuck at the same point as Rafi. When I have to push on display, my display go into white and the 'run me' program don't install like in the example movie. there was a strange thing when i installed the flashtool-drivers. two drivers failed with installing ( Sony net and Google inc. usb) Can that be the problem???

It's not working with xperia ZL. I stuck when running runme.bat. Running runme_win.bat, from DooMLoRD_Easy-Rooting-Toolkit_v17_perf-event-exploit.zip, doesn't work too. May you help me? Thanks.
Nothing seems to happen once up to the Screen Test >> Display, tried the power on and off several times but didn't work. Even with a factory reset I'm still getting the same problem?
i think i have a small issue i did as this video says ..but after extracting the toolkit ...and licking on runme....the cmd opens and after enter any key is just says waiting for the device ....nothing else ......y so ?? wht should i do
Hello man, I'm a new Xperia ZL user and I came from a Samsung Galaxy SII phone, with which root, unroot, return to stock rom (in case we need warranty), install custom roms,etc... was so easy and with a lot of alternatives to follow. Is it more risky to do all those things in ZL? If I root, install CWM, and custom rom, will I be able to return the phone to a factory state (for warranty)? Does it leaves manipulation traces (in Samsung's case, binary counter) and can I cover them in case i need?
what does contain the folder /data/usf? i kept the nfc on, but after rooting it became broken deleting the usf foulder solves the problem, but microphone's work became wose, so, may be the usf and mic work are related?
Can you post some other link with all the files, the ones here won't open. I would appreciate if you can move them all to one Google location and share with us.
I have the exact same problem, I have done the update yesterday and since then I cannot root the phone as it stops working after you hit the display option...
The runme.bat file froze after going into service tests -> display on the C6603. Xperia's screen stays white and doesn't proceed. It continues after unplugging and replugging the usb cable to the phone, and installs superuser, but superuser doesn't allow root access to root checker. My build is 10.3.A.0.423
