Hi,
I just bought a new Sony Xperia Z Europe version (C6603) and I would wish to root this phone.
I have updated it to the latest available software which is 10.3.1.A.2.67.
I tried to search in the development thread and couldn't find one.
I found the Doomlord's rooting tool kit but I would also require the .ftf file (10.3.1.A.2.67) for the same firmware so that i could root it.
Could anyone provide me the Link for the same?

You should ask in the correct forum for your device -

Good luck.

You're in the wrong forum. There is a Xperia SP forum, search for it and ask there.
Generally download Flashtool and a .ftf file of a stock rom and flash it via flashtool

Hi, I am new in this forum. I have an Xperia Z (C6603) and I’m currently on FW 10.4.B.0.569. I am planning to install FXP CM11 but before unlocking the bootloader I would like to back up my TA partition. I understand that I will need root access for that. My question is whether I can use DooMLoRD Easy Rooting Toolkit by flashing back to KernelOnly 10.3.A.0.423 even so I currently have 10.4.B.0.569 or will I have to entirely downgrade the phone to 10.3.A.0.423 by using a full version (not KernelOnly)? Any hint will be much appreciated.
I was going to follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/development/root-how-to-rooting-firmware-10-3-1-0-t2386405 but after reading the instructions again, I guess the warning “THIS IS ONLY FOR THE XPERIA Z (C6602/3) FW 10.3.1.A.0.244 / 10.3.1.A.2.67!” stopped me and I thought I better ask.

the better way is to downgrade to 10.3.1.A.0.244 / 10.3.1.A.2.67 4.2.2 firmware,root it then backup TA,unlock bootloader & flash the CM11
Thanks for your reply. That's the safest way and that's what I finally did. Worked great.
my friend updated the Xperia Sp to 4.3 and now it is very laggy. He need to downgrade to 4.1.2. I need the ftf file link for downloading and flashtool link as my old flashtool dont have xperia sp driver.
As this phone is bought from customs I am not sure to which region it belongs. Do I need to exclude baseband when flashing? Do I need to skip final verification?.
The baseband version of 4.3 update is 8960-AAAAATAZQ-40031007-18
See my tutorial in General section or via the link below in my signature.. All you need is explained in the tutorial
Good luck

Usually you can flash an FTF via a flashtool of different firmwares as long as you do not change your basebands.
Download an FTF from general section, use flashtool (google it and download it with proper drivers) and go ahead and flash the latest ftf but DO NOT CHANGE basebands.
Also, you can google how to use Flashtool. There are plenty guides on XDA.
Make sure you use device specific FTF or you would brick your device . So be very careful.
Quote me back if you expect a reply. Good Luck
I'm using an Xperia ZR C5503 with android 4.4.4. I didnt find a guide for my same configuration and that's why i created a new thread. Excuse me if it has been already asked. I have a completely untouched stock kernel and locked kernel. There are so many .ftf files, and different methods so I was completely confused as to the correct procedure.
Any tips?
My config:
Model: Xperia ZR C5503
Android version: 4.4.4
Firmware: 10.5.1.A.0.283

I was able to root it by following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/general/guide-how-to-root-10-5-1-0-283-t2872873..
