He Said
If you coming from on 4.3 :
...
Install Recovery
...
and
If you have LB with 4.2/4.3 and Recovery or UB :
Go to Recovery
...
I am not 4.3 or 4.2 and I cant go to recovery

You have to flash a 4.1.2 or a 4.2.2 firmware with Flashtool (you will find it on others XDA thread of the section. You have to do that because with locked bootloader (LB) on 4.3 you can't root and install any Recovery.
So, go on previous Android version, root it, install recovery, install my zip, and the 2 others zip, then flash the stripped ftf (firmware) on your phone.
for this method you dont need to unlock bootloader

Try this app. You need to install this app and run. Then you should download super su app. :fingers-crossed:

I tried to install OTA update for my Xperia ZR.
The update is downloaded when i try to intall..the install starts but will not proceed.
The phone will restart.I tried it several times but no progress.
I had my phone rooted with towelroot without any recovery.
I used supersu,greenify,disable service,Xposed,Titanium Backup to remove bloatwares.

I used Universal Unroot to unroot before the installation.

removing the bloatware from the system is the reason why it doesn't work! The updater recognizes the missing files and aborts the update, so the only way to get the Ota update is to bring the removed apps and files back!

[Q] Problems for root/Half-root/No root

So I rooted Z1 with Towelroot a few months ago.
I dont know what happened, SuperSU suddenly fails to update the binaries and Permanent Unroot doesnt work , Freedom has problems with partitons. Root Explorer is read-only.
So I think my phone is half-rooted cos OTA says no, Root Checker, Titanium says yes, Busybox says yes but fails to install.
Do I fix it by rerooting? I dont wanna unlock bootloader (void warranty) and flash firmware. Or is there any way to unroot and reroot?

OP, looks like your phone bugged

do not have to clear data in flashtool

root proplem I need your help

So guys first I appreciate any one gonna help me
I have Xperia z c6603 4.4.4 android
I wanted to root my phone and I tried in every possible way but every time it fails
So I found a solution
P.s I don't have Internet connection for my pc
1-install super su and don't open it
2-flash old kernel so you can root
3-root your device (( in this step I tried rooting by flashtool and it did work but in the log it says root done.. rebooting device.. So I waited for 3 minutes but my phone didn't restart so i did it manually))
4-flash your. 283 kernel
5- upgrade supersu binaries so root is done
In step 4 I didn't find supersu (( which I've installed before)) but I found superuser app instead and I can't upgrade binaries or unroot or any thing. This app is useless
So i want to delete it and full root my device because in flashtool it says my phone is rooted but when I install any app for rooted devices only it says my phone is not rooted
I think maybe if I flashed an official 4.4.4 rom every thing will be normal again but I have a question. If I flashed a rom does that mean that I will unlock bootloader cause I don't want to unlock so i don't lose my be2 and drm keys
And I can't do ta raw backup (( to save be2 and drm keys)) unless I root my device
Please help me and sorry for my bad english

thanks
I've solved the proplem
First I flashed the old kernel
Then rooted successfully by towelroot (( instead of flashtool ))
And finally flashed the . 283 kernel
But I need to know if I flashed a rom does that means unlocking bootloader?
Or is it can't be to flash rom without unlocking bootloader?

As long as it has a stock kernel you do not need to unlock your bootloader. Any aosp based rom will need an unlocked bootloader (cyanogenmod, omnirom etc)

I've done every thing and made a nandroid backup and installed existen z 3.0.0 rom and it works very well but i dont have mobile bravia engine 2 and i dont know if the bootloader is unlocked or not.. And thanks very much for your help i really appreciate it
