Hi all!
I'm very happy to announce you that, thanks to iovyroot, and with a lot of help from zxz0O0, we managed to get a new root binary working on the Sony Xperia M2, meaning we don't actually need to use Kingroot anymore to root LBL devices under Lollipop (18.6.A.0.182, and probably 18.6.A.0.175 too) :victory:
Requirements:
- Stock kernel, from Sony's stock firmware 18.6.A.0.182, Linux version 3.4.0-gc82e70f based.
- ADB enabled
Settings -> About phone -> Click 7 times on Android Build to unlock Developer options, and USB Debbuging - ADB drivers installed (you can pick them from Sony Mobile's website)
- Material Terminal, from Yaroslav Shevchuk, if you want to do the root process right from your device.
You can get it on Google Play or APKmirror
Usage:
- Download the tool
- Extract the files
- Execute the install.bat with a double click if you're on Windows, or simply do "sh install_mobile.sh" on Material Terminal (remember to use cd /path/to/where/you/placed/it to change to the folder were you extracted the files)
- Wait until the process ends. Your device will reboot automatically
Download: Version 2016/05/31

Enjoy! That kitty is a bad kitty!
