Do I need to downgrade from 4.2.2? - Sony Xperia ZR

Before I ask my main question, does rooting the ZR on 4.2.2 delete the DRM keys? If so, how can I downgrade to .310 so I can root and backup with TA?
I want to install beanstalk's 4.4 ROM, and to do that I need to unlock the bootloader which removes the DRM keys. So it would be good to preserve these just in case. Thanks in advance.

U r right. Just backup ur TA before unlocking bootloader. Rooting doesn't delete ur drm keys. The drm keys only gone if u unlock ur bootloader. So, no worry.

Ah thanks. alright so I have flashtool installed and there are no drivers on the list for the zr. Is there an equivalent which I'm supposed to install?
PS: I'm downgrading cuz all the tutorials say you need to unlock bootloader when rooting 4.2.2

Install the xperia A driver. It is xperia zr japan version.

Once you unlocked your bootloader, installing ROM will not re-lock your bootloader
Sim unlock* sorry.

Read the [Guide] Bootloader and kernel guide | X8 | W8 | X10 mini | X10 mini pro thread, it depends on HOW your phone was SIM unlocked in the first place.
It's a wee bit too much text to wrap up here.

You should ask this in that rom's thread. No point making an entire new thread just for this.

What if not android 4.3 ?

Hello
What I have:
* LT30p of 4.3 not rooted with the ability to unlock the bootloader.
And now ... As with a 2 TTka in my career, I have a dilemma. I had a room on the previous xperiment and did not complain but now at 4.3 at present I lack only the root. From what I read at the moment root for 4.3 is quite imperfect therefore abstains from work.
And the question to you as no 4.3 what?
Want to have the opportunities offered by the root but also wants a stable system.
any suggestions
If you have an unlockable bootloader, you can unlock and install the leaked kernel + su package

You will need to have unlocked bootloader first before flashing any CM roms or 4.4.2 roms
To back to original firmware just flash the pre-rooted 4.3 ROM over here
There's many kind.
I prefer you to wait for official 4.4 update as will be available next month
