after downgrade you can also use CWM to flashing anything you like. Flashing XperimenT 1.7.1 is the best way after you root your device.

Incorrect, you can use flashtool to flash stock FTF's from Sony.

Is there a way to root my Xperia Z1 if I'm on .257 firmware?
Will vRoot, 360 Root or Kingo Root be able to root my phone on .257 firmware?
Do I have to downgrade to .534 to be able to root the phone?
How do I downgrade to .534?
Will I lose all my data if I downgrade to .534?
Thanks in advance!

Download .ftf file for .534 firmware [LINK]
Downgrade to .534 firmware with Flashtool (and untick wipe data/cache/appslog so that you can keep all your data) [GUIDE]
Use vRoot, 360 Root or Kingo App ROOT to root your phone [GUIDE]
After rooting you should restart the phone 2 times
Now you should get a notification that there's an available OTA update to .257
If you don't get the notification, go to the Update Center app on your Z1 (I think the icon for it is a blue circle with two arrows) and refresh to get the update notification
Just install the update through your phone (not through PC) and the root will still be there
WARNING: If you don't get the notification for .257 update, then you will only be able to update through PCCompanion but that way you will lose the root priviledges.
If that way doesn't work for you, you can also use gregbradley's way to root your .257 [GUIDE]

It's the proper answer though, everything has been asked tons of times already and is explained just about as often. If people don't want to put at least some effort in searching and reading they can hardly expect others to put effort in them.
True, but if you know the answer right away, it's nice to give a link for example. And ask op to close the thread.

Sorry, but I replied to various forms of this question a dozen times yesterday in the forums and more in PM's. The information is out there in lots of threads and I don't want to add to the clutter which makes it hard to sift through. It would be like hiding a needle in a pile of needles.
To closed thread report it to the mods via the orange triangle in the top right of the posts.

Rooting won't brick your phone. And you can have root on stock

You can root and stay on stock ROM no need to change to another ROM. Also rooting .257 firmware is not yet supported. Morever I read somewhere that Kingo and Vroot are under investigation for installing tracking malware.

yeah i know.because of that im waiting new update
What was that i heard about doing something to your phone messes up the camera? Will rooting it do that to the camera?
No rooting does not affect the Camera. Only unlocking Bootloader will mess up the camera.
Just tried vroot for my Z1 (6903...xx257 firmware) and it doesnt work
Hope to see some progress about it soon as I need root to restore my titanium backups from another phone

Please read some of the guides.
It is impossible to directly root that FW,
Downgrade to .534, root and then upgrade OTA
I think dont downgrade your phone to 538.My some friends have problem about camera and walkman bla bla.Wait the root programme for 257

There are no problems because you immediately upgrade to .257 OTA and the problems go.
You downgrade to the older version and are on it for as long as it takes to root (2-3 minutes) during that time the camera does work (But you can fix it if you want by clearing the data in the camera common app) but as soon as you upgrade it works again...
Do this my friend i did it and it work for me ...

Learn before doing atleast, so we don't get fifty new threads about generic issues.
This is a development forum, and it would be nice if it's not overly cluttered with useless threads all the time.
Also the mods gets a break aswell
I do not mean to be rude, but people who ask questions, which the answer to, lies a couple clicks away, generally don't want to bother themselves with reading.
This is a shame, because the great developers on here are excellent at writing extensively about how to do things, and what you should and should not do.

Follow the topic, you can update first without root if you like, but you still need to get back on 257 to root anyway.

First revert back to .534 (Hope you know how to downgrade and flash ftf's using flashtool, if you don't please let me know),
Then root it using Kingo,
Install XZDual Recovery,
Then proceed with the link mentioned above.

Don't worry and welcome to Xperia
You'd have to flash the FTF first. So flash .534 FTF and install XZDualRecovery before proceeding with the thread you've mentioned and do the steps provided there

That link aint working not sure if I can extract the ftf from my phone which is unlocked. Talked to doomlord and it seems rooting doesnt make you lose your drm keys but unlocking the bootloader does, you need root to get the TA backup

If you do not know what to do after rooting I must question your reasons on why you want to root.
However, you may want to do it to learn about android and that is good enough.
There are numerous guides and how to posts in order to gain root on that FW, one of them is linked in my signature. There are now more direct ways to do it, but the one in my signature is good enough. Try that, it will mean some reading and learning, but that the joy in the journey

please search a little too. Anyways, wait for the latest update for ur phone. That will install 4.4.4 on your device and your build number will end with 108. Once you get that update rooting ur device becomes really easy. There is easy root tool available. Just download and start that program in ur PC and follow the onscreen instructions. Again, that will work only on 4.4.4 so wait till then.

You can do it. For that you need to flash an older 534 rom, root it and then install dual recovery and then flash the latest rom. I dont know why you are in such a hurry.
