root - not possible - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

OK so I have set "USB debugging mode", but all 3 programs that aparantly root the Xperia Z1 dont root my phone, all 3 say "failed to root" why?

Seems only root for downgrade firmware.

nope rooting to flash a custom ROM

Which firmware are you on? If you are on 257 then read one of the many threads in the general section on how to downgrade, root and then upgrade back

Yes, you will lose root with any official update completed using cable and pc

Is there anyway to force an OTA update?

Does this mean I could keep root when *not* using cable, but OTA?
Additionally I have SuperSU with root survival mode which is my last hope to keep root...
Thanks

Yes it is, just flash an ICS ftf

EDIT,
Sorry my mistake, now I am at my PC I can see you have a V.
In which case rooting is easy..just unlock you rbootloader and flash an insecure kernel.

if you are locked bootloader, you must go back to 2.67 FW,and root by using doomlord method, flash to 4.3
you can't root 101 FW WITHOUT unlocking bootloader.
search it please.

Update framaroot

Seen this app that can root phone easily without downgrading and any hard stuff that most of us don't want to risk so can anyone update that app so that it can root our 4.4 kit Kat update

No. It doesn't work like that. A new exploit has to be found to root KitKat. It isn't just a matter of updating existing tools.
