Downgrading and rooting my M2 Aqua?

stefeman — Mon, 06 Jul 2015 09:31:12 GMT

Hey, I wish to gain superuser rights on my aqua (i.e. rooting it), however i'm unable to find a way to flash into older version where exploit kits would work. The latest version fixed the exploits used by rooting softwares. Does anyone know the procuder which i should do?

I'm well aware that rooting will void my warranty.

I tried towelroot .apk file for an easy way out, but unsuprisingly it was not compatible with my current version.

Current details:

My android version is 18.3.1.C.1.15

Model number: D2403

Android version: 4.4.4

I live in Finland so i'm not sure if my phone has localized firmware or not. The package was in english so I guess its generic version.

There are many rooting apps like Newroot or giefroot but the best place to visit is XDA who will have a more thorough guide to rooting devices and their firmware versions

I have browsed xda for a day now in order to find a working method that is not patched in this version.

Either I am blind or there is no such thing for 18.3.1.C.1.15

Would you be able to link something as im unable to find it.
