Are you sure? Did you wiped data, casche, appslog? Why you downgrade anyway?

Because 4.3 currently doesn't have root.
Only way to downgrade is to wipe app data during flashtool.

So switch off you phone and flash again the FTF, If you already did that you have download and try another one.

Sure yes, If you downgrade and don't wipe data in flashtool you phone will bootloop.
I've solved the problem with missing IMEI this way:
Start SUS -> select phone etc. till it shows you to connect your phone in flashmode -> connect phone in flashmode -> do a repair/factory reset -> when finished, flash an .534 .ftf File (withouth wiping DATA) -> root -> update via OTA to .257 -> perhaps your camera wont work (just auto focus), if you have this issue -> Restore TA-Backup...
Hope this will help you

Yeah...but that's the only way...
You could try to backup data and restore but you'll have problems (most likely).
The problem is in fact that you are changing Android version, if you can remember, downgrading from 257 to 534 was easy and you could save your data - because it was same Android version.
When you downgrading feom 4.3 to 4.2.2 data from 4.3 stays and it stops ROM to boot...
Android is compatible "forward" but has many problems when you try to go to "past"

Anyway, before any downgrade process, be sure to wipe all data.
If you don't wipe data you will have problems with nfc firmware causing in a bootloop

Hi there, hope that someone i willing to help me.
I have some problems with installing the new update through OTA or SONY PC Companion.
I even tried to use the repair function in PC Companion, but it fails too. What i figured out is that the phone fails when it are going into the flash mode.
The phone was rooted, had unlocked bootloader, CWM and used the Taylor_Swift Rom. After that i flashed a Generic Rom using Flashtool and now i have these problems.
Any suggestions ?

No, he asked how to root. If he has already unlocked the bootloader then the simplest way to root is flash a custom kernel. Warranty is already broken and what is the point in unlocking the bootloader unless you are going to flash a custom kernel anyway

No its not, but its the easiest way to get root if you have already unlocked.
And please tell me the point of unlocking if you are not going to flash a custom kernel.
Its harmless as long as you flash the correct kernel. It carries the same risk as flashing anything.

You have downgraded in order to root then to do an OTA upgrade back to .257 if I am right.
In which case, do not worry that the camera does not work in .534, just root it, and upgrade OTA.
Then try the camera.
EDIT
Also you need to clear the data in all camera related apps

Had a problem with recovery going missing when i updated to 4.3, decided to downgrade back to 4.2 rom 534 and after the downgrade my IMEI reads a series of 0's obviously can't make any phone calls and have no signal at all.
Have tried to get the EE branded ftf but it wouldn't download, I didn't want to get another branded one so i went with an unlocked one, still can't get the EE ftf so can't revert back to my official branded rom, still haven't got recovery and by using an ftf i've lost root, so i'm kind of back to square one but with no imei lol, ahhh if i didn't laugh i'd cry.
Any ideas how to get it back up and running?

Only just got home but i've sorted it now, basically i wasn't able to get the EE branded ftf from XDA as the link was down so i got the tmobile one as it's pretty much the closest one there is in the list.
Flashed that with flash tool and it came back, obviously lost root, so i've re rooted and now i'm upgrading all over again.
Will be staying on 4.2 until i've got a whole day to mess about with things, 4.3 isn't for me yet, at least until root is 100%
Cheers for the help all the same.

I assume you didn't understand what I mean, while using android 4.3, flash for the previous firmware 257 (the unrootable android 4.2) and then flash 534 (the rootable android 4.2) then root and OTA to 257 again, then from 257, if you get OTA to 4.3 then go for it, if you don't have OTA to 4.3, you'll have to wait.

Just one leap back to the earliest rom is all thats needed to get your imei back, obviously not the easiest way but probably the safest.

If you flash from 290 to 534 you will loose IMEI and service provider signal, if you flash back 290 you will get them back. so to prevent loosing IMEI and service provider signal, flash 257 then 534.

Jeez i'll say again.
I downloaded the T-mobile FTF file as it was the closest to my EE phone when i got it, i was on 290 and without my IMEI, i flashed the FTF file via flashtool which is a 534FTF and my IMEI come back as soon as the phone came on, i was able to root and upgrade to monx's rom.
So what you're saying is untrue, if you pick the wrong FTF file then that may cause the IMEI to be lost again or not come back at all, but if you pick the one as i said before which corresponds with your phones original network or the closest thing to it then the imei will come back I know this as I did this a few days ago, i'm not going to argue about this and i'm not going to respond to anything else on this matter.
If theres another way to do it then fair enough, all I know is that doing it this way worked.
The imei gets lost if you wipe data when you are on 290 and flash 534 using flashtool

well, in superSU menu, its name is survival mode...which says it will try to keep root permission EVEN in ota. so I guess it's not ONLY for ota.
It won't help when flashing with Flashtool as /system is wiped, so the backup the survival mode makes is wiped also. I've tried before.

thanks for info. So, it looks like I have no choice but unlocking the bootloader...
oh wait, what about pre-rooted stock roms that are available in xda? is there any available for this new firmware?

I'm using 4.3 with locked bootloader. Do not miss lead people.
You just need a rooted device with recovery option.
There are at least two topic for this.

Nobody is misleading anybody. There is no way to root with a locked bootloader after you have already flashed 4.3.
Flashing a prerooted rom from a previous, already rooted rom with recovery is a different matter and is not what the original question in the OP is asking.

Unlocking bootloader means, wipe all user data, that means more and more trouble to configure al settings and applications.
Just root your older firmware, install dual recovery, and install stock cwm firmware as mentioned in other topics.
Thats all, you have proper rooted and updated versions.

The OP is obviously on 4.3 already.
Downgrading to an older firmware usually requires that you wipe /data anyway.
The OP didn't ask how to upgrade and keep root. They asked how to root 4.3, therefore my original post is currently the only correct answer to the question in the first post.

So, lets make a conclusion here.
1- if you have already upgraded to 4.3 you have 2 choices; unlock bootloader and use doomlord kernel, OR downgrade to 4.2.2 and go to part 2.
2- if you have not upgraded to 4.3 yet, you can use a pre-rooted stock 4.3 rom (link of them can be found in this thread) and flash it using recovery and flashtool.

If you haven't upgraded, there's a third option. Backing up of the TA partition, flashing new firmware either from ftf, Seus or PCC and then unlocking bootloader, temporarily flashing custom kernel, rooting, flashing stock kernel again and relocking bootloader via TA partition restore.
Takes more time, but its the cleanest way to have 4.3 with root I think.

Or you can wait for OTA release and turn on survival mode of superSU. As SuperSU says, it's NOT guaranteed that root permission will be kept. But if you have patience to wait for OTA release, it worth trying.

He was after a pre-rooted rom but you sent him links to roms that need root to install.

Installing any pre rooted rom requires a recovery which means the user has to have had a rooted device in the first place with a recovery installed. Even if root is lost and a recovery exists a pre rooted rom can be flashed. The links provided above are perfectly fine.

You have 2 options
A . stay away from boot loader (0 Risk):
1- backup your SD data & All SD contents to your computer ( I Think it is not that hard)
2-Flash 4.2.2 with flash tool
3-Root on locked boot loader follow instructions here
4- Install Dual Recovery follow HERE
5- Install 4.3 Pre-rooted from here
****************
Option B.(not recommended if you have not enough experience )
1-Back TA (boot loader ) Here
2-Unlock boot loader Here
3- Root using this method HERE
4-Flash 4.3 pure stock Kernel (Kernel only )
5- Restore your TA (lock boot loader again with all benefits )
