Just repair it with SEUS. Unfortunately, you'll lose your apps, but that the easyest metod.

[Q] How to backup original Stock Firmware of phone before rooting ?

Hello,
I am worried little about warranty issue. I have heard that once your root your phone warranty is void. So in order to keep myself safe from such hassles, i want to take the FTF or anytype of backup of my complete phone operating system / image backup just like symantec backup in windows. Is it possible ?
Please guide me how ?
Thanks..

No u need to unroot it first

When you only rooted your device on original software you can repair your system (read once again install) through PC Companion.

[Q] Updated to 4.3 No ROOT :(

Hi all,
Just updated to Sony's latest offering .266 and, obviously, lost ROOT access.
Has anyone any info on how to re-root? I am on a locked bootloader and cannot unlock it.
Please advise? I have lost all of my custom settings and cannot change until I have root access.

There's no root method for locked bootloader for 4.3 as for now. Or you can try the root method by sir @jancsessz tho you'll need to downgrade it back to 4.1.2. Didn't work for me tho but worth a try :silly:

Soo first you'd want to downgrade to 4.1.2 which can be easily done using flashtool
And then use Doomlord's method. This one is for .245 and .254
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2405933
When you've done rooting you'll need CWM. Not sure about the original thread but here's the download link
http://d-h.st/Las
Extract and run the install.bat after rooting and you'll get both root access and CWM
Then follow the tutorial from earlier to update to 4.3 and voila! :victory:

It is a new update. Why are we so unpatience? Let the developers work on this!

First: please black out your IMEI in the picture
To your question: You have to downgrade to 4.2.2, download any .ftf file and root it using Doomlords easy rooting method. Install the dualrecovery and search for a pre rooted 4.3 or 4.4 rom

thank you for your reponce.
I have a problem during downgrad .... bootloop
and repaired with PcCompanion
but I'll try again

When I am in 4.3, i use the method flash back to 4.2 (kernel only) to root, then flash back to 4.3 (flash kernel only) follow this thread by Doomlord:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...-rooting-firmware-10-3-1-0-t2386405?nocache=1
My question is: can I use this method with stock 4.4 (locked bootloader) ? if this possible, does anyone have stock kernel only in .ftf file ?
Thank you!

You have to wipe all the data on your phone, there are 3 boxes that have to be checked in flashtool

this is good
I do not understand why it does not work
I'll jump out the window
thank you

[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?

@gregbradley check this out (not follow the XDA rulez)

If it's about Freedom, NO, that's not the point.

Come on dont be a d**k, help him
OP, looks like your phone bugged
please reflash an ftf of 133 or 108, so u will lose root completely and u can do a complete root again
do not have to clear data in flashtool
