Xperia e4 e2104 Quad Core - Need to Root

[adeleon]

Hi

I've been trying several ways to root this device but I have not been able to, it seems the device can't be rooted but I really need it!.

I've tried kingroot and other similar alternatives (from PC and apk's from the device itself) with no luck. Also, I reallyze that, besides I have the Sony companion software installed, I can't use adb with my device (maybe because of this, the PC rooting tools don't work??)

It's an Xperie E4 E2104 SI 1292 - 7805 Rev 3, Runing Android 4.4.4

Thanks for any help

Did you enable USB Debugging because the Kingroot program does work

Settings -> about phone -> tap several times on build number to unlock developer menu, then check the usb debugging option there.

Yes, usb-debug modelo is entable. Two adicional interesante facts:

- Bootloader can't ver unlocked (I checked via the key-combination thing)
- besides i can use tbe sony companion software OK, I.cant connect via adb so.I found a zip containing the "xperia usb drivers" but I cant install any of them for.mu device (they are dll files/files)

I beleive that maybe because.I cant connect bia adb-usb the windows tools Ive used have not worke? kingroot and oneoneclickroot cant detect my device, so i cant even start the root process nor get any rooting error.

I don't know, if you want to root your device and nothing works then maybe wait some more for new options to appear. I rooted my old (sony erricsson) device and bootloader didn't need to be unlocked to do it, only to install custom firmware. As for adb and other drivers try flashtool (not the sony one), it has all the tools and drivers required.
Of course, keep in mind the warranty voiding when doing such things.
