Downgrade your firmware with flashtool then root. Then there are a few ways to upgrade again without losing root. You really should read and search this forum... this topic has been discussed here more than basically anything else on the Z1 threads.

Yu don't need one.
Just flash ANY .534 FW and exclude baseband, root, upgrade OTA

Hey everyone!
I currently use the xperia z C6602 to 10.1.1.A.1.253 firmware and want to root it to get JB (I have the France version imported here to the US, but never got the update). I also want to root it for other reasons (to get rid of bloatware, etc).
I tried following this method on this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2287299
but got stuck on the part where it says to point the drivers to the designated folder. When I booted the phone with fastboot, it tried installing drivers on windows, but never gave me the option to select a folder (and installation failed). May I ask how to get past that step?
Or are there any other ways to root my phone? I started a new thread because i think the C6602 might be a bit different from the C6603, just just to be safe. My bootloader is unlockable but i have not yet unlocked it. Fyi, I currently reside in the USA (don't know if that helps)

Thank you! I'm also thinking about flashing to JB (which would remove the root, i think?)
Anyhow, thank you very much, guys.

Hi all,
Im new here, so if i am wrong please correct me.
I have a C6903 Z1:
- firmware 14.1.G.1.534 SG
- rooted using vroot (i can install titanium backup, supersu, and it said rooted)
- backed up TA partition
- now i want to update to 14.2.A.0.290 SG
- i already read the update method by NUT
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2572988
seems it is the only good working method now
BUT, i have a question regards the "requirements"
Current rooted FW version: 14.1.G.1.534 and 14.1.G.2.257

So, do i need to update to .257 and root it before process NUT method ? ... or just process NUT method directly ...?
Sorry for posting here instead of the Original thread but i dont have permission to post there.
Any help is well appreciated. Thanks!

You can just proceed with [NUT]'s method. Now that you have root install recovery and the do the rest of the steps.
If you need help refer to my updated video:

Thanks for your advice
I just processed exactly as NUT guide and had the 4.3 c6903 14.2.A.0.290 rooted :good:
Just a question:
- as NUT guide, last step is flash the ...stripped.ftf
- as your video, i did not see you flash the stripped.ftf. Instead, you flash the original generic 14.2.A.0.290 ?
what is the different? If i flash again the original 14.2.A.0.290 like yours. will it loose root ?
Have a great day!

In my video it is the stripped version as well. It shows up as normal in Flashtool for some reason. My video is 100% based on [NUT] method

Many thanks for helps :good:
Hi guys, i'm Darwin from Honduras, Central America. Im newest with my SP 5302
So i have dowloaded the newest firmware 12.1.A.1.201, and i didn't read that i can't root from 4.3 JB.
I read some thread and i can make a downgrade from my current FW. So the thing is i can't find a FW that's fits my phone (country or region), the question is ¿Can i use othe countrys FW in my phone (UK, India for example)? It will crash? I will be able to use my sim card and navigate without problems?
Thanks in advice, you guys are awesome.
PS. Pardon my bad english.
If you are interested in the latest .201 which is rooted, there are some devs developing nice ROMs based on .201 with root.
At the moment I am on purexperience which incorporates Z2 gui, etc and fast. It still has some bugs but I can live with it until something better comes along, if at all. :laugh: (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2691767&page=4)
Otherwise, another dev has put a full .201 in the forum which is rooted (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2704312 or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2704009)
Note: you will need to be rooted with CWM recovery in order to install these ROMs. The only way that I know is to downgrade the firmware to old 4.1.2 which enables you to use Doomlord's exploit (V18) after which you can install CWM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658952
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2405933 (for this one you will have to flash .254 full firmware before starting the process)
PS: you don't have to get the ftf that fits your country. Just take CE, SG, AU, UK (if you are comfortable with English) and it will prompt you for your language during setup...After all the downgraded ftf is simply a step to root and will be wiped out when you install .201
you can use stock based ROM, I am curently used existenz 2.1.5, it now also have newer version with xperia sirius features on it.

The radio baseband determines the frequency the phone can receive flashing another region firmware won't affect it if yours is a c5303 I know Brazil is then you will be fine flashing other c5303 fw for example uk. I think its just USA that has a different baseband.
Programming is a race between engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning.

Hey greatly thanks. If I do it wrong or if any wrong thing happened, what possible damages can cause? I want my mobile rooted for some apps and I am totally newbie to how to root.
As long as you follow the guide, nothing bad should happen. At worst you might have to reflash stock firmware, but that's very unlikely.
