So it's currently not possible to preserve root huh. Is it possible (in any way) to update to .290 with a locked BL and keep data? (or at least all my settings and stuff)

I tried updating via the OTA while rooted and the update fails.
I'm using the paid version of SuperSU while in "Survival Mode" with a locked bootloader.

On some firmwares root will stay after OTA update.
You'll have partial root but that's only what's possible to get on locked bootloaders - for now.
We said that many times before and I see many users still likes to answer wrong.
If you, IF YOU!, manage to update via OTA - your root will stay.

You can write to system but only from recovery.
Basically you can't copy manually apk or any files to system folders - you have to do that through recovery.
Problem is when system boot, you have administrative rights only in recovery.

If you want everything working then just stay on 4.2, if you want to update and you can unlock your bootloader then do it that way, i'm sticking with 4.2 until everything is working as it should.

How is it wrong answer?
It's a fact that if you update to 4.3 you WILL lose full root
Unless you CAN unlock your bootloader full root is not available at the moment
That's why I'm back on 4.2 partial root is no good
Sent from my C6903 using Tapatalk 2
I'm currently on 4.2.2. rooted stock rom, locked bl, dualrecovery, (.257 firmware) and xposed installed with some modules activated.
I have an OTA update for 4.3. available but I'd like to know what happens if the update manages to go through? I've read about partial root but that doesn't tell me much. Is there a way to keep full root with supersu pro or voodoo root keeper?
So, what exactly can I do with it or don't?
Will my dualrecovery remain after the update? Or if it's gone, could I install it again with partial root?
The xposed remains as well since it was already present before the upgrade or not?
Can I still use Titanium Backup to backup, delete, freeze, restore apps and data (system apps and user apps)?
Could I gain root via partial root via a startup script which runs automatically at boot (without bl unlock)?
One last question: I really don't get why Android manufacturers don't even bother to at least offer the option to enable root if the user wants this option.
Like there could be an option to enable root and when you tap on it, the system displays severals warnings to inform you about the downsides and potential dangers and if you accept, the system reboots and you have full read/write access/root.
I know about the downsides (malware, etc.) but to me and I believe to many others as well, the benefits outhweigh them by a lot.
Are they just unwilling or is it not that easy to enable and disable?
To me, an Android phone without root feels as limited as a Windows computer without admin rights. It feels so constraint.

True. I personally can unlock but don't want to because of the warranty.
Can anyone please answer the questions from my previous post? At least some of them? It would help me a lot in deciding if I should upgrade to 4.3. or not.

You already lost your warranty by rooting and flashing a dual recovery. Unlocking your BL wouldn't change anything, but backup your TA partition before you do that(search for topics).
I see that your from germany. You should check out the difference between "Garantie und Gewährleistung" (LEO and Google Translate actually say that both mean warranty, but they are NOT the same)
Garantie = warranty for damages "by you" (dropping it for example)
Gewährleistung = warranty for damages which happened because of a sony mistake (
You lose your garantie by rooting/unlocking but the gewährleistung persists because of an european law.
I hope that this information helps you

If you have read the numerous threads before updating, you'll find out that the old methods no longer work as Sony closed the root exploit in the new update.

Downgrade to .534, root and then upgrade OTA.
Download the file here: https://mega.co.nz/#!K1QD1bSK!JkgNvz3Tqb6lq4brVUEyZGraOjMQuTuzn8IaEFhQhUI (ftf file for .534 firmware)
Use flashtool to downgrade it ( untick wipe data/cache/appslogs )
Then root it with vroot or something else.
Then it will prompt you to download .257, doing do it OTA not through your PC

It will tell you to update to 290.
However, if your bootloader is unlock-able, backup TA partition then unlock it, then install a recovery and flash Supersu flashable zip, then flash stock kernel and then restore TA partition.

by than 4.4 is out..
Gettin abit confused now with all this root, bootloader, 4.3 stuff.
am still on 257 (rooted), i have the 4.3 OTA notice but i know if i update ill lose root (maybe partial root). ive heard that 4.3 can be rooted but requires unlocking the bootloader. when i go into the service menu it says: Bootloader unlock allowed: NO.
does this mean its not possible for me to root 4.3 at the moment.
if not then whats the limitation on Partial root, i dont do anything particular advance with root, just get certian apps (greenify, ad-away, autohide softkeys) can these apps still function properly on Partial root?
sorry i know these questions have been asked elsewhere but its pain trying to look through the many many threads or looking through about 60 pages on 1 thread.

Bootloader unlock allowed: NO means you can't unlock bootloader.
Partial root doesn't allow you to edit anything in the /system or in the root /.
Anything that edits system won't work (Probably autohide softkeys probably won't work. But it might work if you installed it before updating).

I just tried to root 257 with Kingo and did not succeed. Restarted four times in all, without any apparent damage to the phone. I hope Kingo will fix this soon and we will be able to root z1 running 257 stock. It's such a hassle free application! Good luck to them..

The camera hardware was working fine when you downgraded, it's just the SQLite database version was raised, and the old version of the camera app is incompatible with that. Wiping all camera apps' data would fix it.

You can do the downgrade method and upgrade via OTA without losing any data then.

Hello friends,
This is a rather stupid question, I know, but I SCOURED the posts about this topic, and my phone is already SIM free [paid], yet bootloader is unlockable even by unofficial FlashMode, I read somewhere this can be fixed but it's not very specific how to.
Frankly, I dont even care for bootloader, All I want is to flash to ParanoidAndroid and have the phone rooted, But for that I need CWM from what I gathered, and so - I need root - And I can't get freaking root on my 4.3 official ROM [this phone is 6616 by the way).
I will consider giving donation to the fellow who finds me an proper solution! [if he/she accepts such]
You cannot run PA on a locked bootloader. PA (or any other non-stock based custom rom such as CM, AOSP, AOKP etc) requires a custom kernel. A custom kernel will not run on a locked bootloader.
Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk
im still wondering, now after the 4.4.2 update, if there are any ways to easily root this phone in its current bootloader status. i understand that custom roms are not [which is plain stupid sony!!!] but it'd be nice to even have just root
thanks friends

Easiest way to get rooted on 4.4.2 on a locked bootloader is to roll back to 4.2.2, root 4.2.2, install a recovery manger such as XZR then flash the ROM, connect to a computer and use flash tool to flash the kernel. Boot and have fun!

Nope, no XT-1092 yet, no word as to when either, although rumour has it we will get it sometime during December. As long as you haven't altered any system apps, you should hopefully be okay with root, although you will loose root once you get the update.

Flashtool doesn't need root privileges.
With flashtool you flash ftf files.
You need flashtool program to flash ftf.
Your phone has to been in flash mode to flash a ftf file. The phone comes with flash mode, that's nothing special. The phone can handle flash mode from build.

Overheat ? how ? there is no way... i have never even gotten over 50 Celcius... are you sure you don't have Z3+ ? D
Like what @xasbo said, this has been answered again and again, pls. use the search button.
There are no existing direct rooting method for 5.1.1 at the present time. Use flashtool to flash 4.4.4 or 5.0.2 on you phone then root it then install a custom recovery then flash a pre-rooted 5.1.1 on your phone. That is the only way you have at present if your phone has a locked boot loader.
If your phone has an unlocked bootloader, I believe you fastboot a rooted system.img or something to get root access on your 5.1.1 without the need to downgrade to either 4.4.4 or 5.0.2

Strange, ive been using stock roms since 4.4.2 on my C6903 and never even felt my device being warm, like on samsungs opening chrome alone makes it so hot you cant touch it. but on Z1 noo, there must be something wrong on it.
