have you unlock the bootloader? if yes then try this :http://www.ranker.com/list/all-car-movies-or-list-of-car-movies/all-genre-movies-lists
For me it works very well .. And its` not that hard.. But if your bootloader can`t be unlocked i don`t think is there any way to root 4.3 .. Only downgrade to 4.2 then root with Vroot.

Dude did u pasted movie list link in error?
To be honest I just have a stock phone, seems it is.not bootloader unlocked, as I haven't done anything on it yet
Is there any way to check it?
And how do I downgrade again to 4.2
Just got my xperia zr yesterday.
Updated it to 4.3 immediately.
And now one day after, I have to say the battery is very good.
13 hr 30 mins on battery, 1 hour and 50 mins screen in time and I m at 61%. And this is mostly on mobile data.
Happy.

sorry, my` bad .. ) here is the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2427995
but first of all you need to unlock the bootloader ... First, you should confirm that it is possible to unlock the boot loader of your device by checking the service menu. In your device, open the dialler and enter *#*#7378423#*#* to access the service menu....tap Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. If Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes, you can start unlocking your bootloader on this link: http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions .
if your bootloader can`t be unlocked i advise you to wait until some dev find a way to root 4.3 with locked booloader.
Now if you want to downgrade to 4.2 or 4.1 you need to download Flashtool then frome here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2384512 download the FTF file for 4.3. 4.2 or 4.1 wherever you want and then flash via flashtool.. There are the instructions too how to use flashtool .. Sorry for my english. Hope i helped you
Rooting method
I think THIS is a way to root 4.3, although a bit of a long way without unlocking the bootloader

this version is not rootable right now, so if you count on root to do anything, avoid this one.
but if you are pure stock person, go for it, IT IS AMAZING, damn fast, damn smooth, never felt JB like this, NOR ON MY ASUS TF300T!
go for it if rot is of no importance to you

if it you could do it over the air, you MAY keep the root using ROOTKEEPER, but this way, using PCC or SUS , it's not possible to keep root...
as i said, if you don't care about root, go for it bro, it's easy to update, and the new firmware is just amazing
hope you enjoy your TX
or if you have unlocked the bootloader just flash a custom kernel with root.
DooMKerneL is my suggestion

You didnt understand. I said I cannot update it through Wi-Fi. Its saying "your device already has the latest available system update" but in PC Companion or PC Update Service says that update is avilable. Why my TX didn't got update notification?
or this update can only be done through PC?
by the way which method u used to update? Air or PC?
Maybe because it just realease a day from now.. So maybe.no OTA for now maybe a week or month will be available via OTA.. my brother accidentally update my xTX and i was pissed because i cant root it.. But the update has noticeable changes on performance.. Battery improves too.. But wifi thetering has its issue as i read someone posting it.. But for me i dont bother by that i dont use.it.. What bothers me is i cannot have root.. without root i feel my phone is less usefull for me.. But as the previous.post if your not rooted user definitely this update is good for you..

i DID understand bro, and what i said was just an explanation, for ANY condition, i meant under ANY condition, in future, it is impossible to keep root when you update through PCC or SUS, but you MAY keep the root using rootkeeper if you update via OTA.
it's normally usual that new firmwares are first available through PCC, not OTA, it's not weird..
I myself, downloaded the FTF file from Hong Kong, then flashed it via flashtools, you don't need to unlock bootloader if you want to flash a Sony Official Firmware
don't worry about anything, this update is just fabulous even without root, it's a BIG BIG performance improvement
let me know what you do, will help you as much as i can

seems like flashing the old kernel, having root, and then flash the new kernel won't do us any good, it keeps rebooting
and if you stay on old kernel, i mean Doom Kernel v07, so you are using the old kernel not the updated one which you actually looking for
it seems that there is still no way to have root with the new kernel righ away

Rooting won't brick your phone. And you can have root on stock
Sent from my C6903 using Tapatalk
You can root and stay on stock ROM no need to change to another ROM. Also rooting .257 firmware is not yet supported. Morever I read somewhere that Kingo and Vroot are under investigation for installing tracking malware.

What was that i heard about doing something to your phone messes up the camera? Will rooting it do that to the camera?
No rooting does not affect the Camera. Only unlocking Bootloader will mess up the camera.
Just tried vroot for my Z1 (6903...xx257 firmware) and it doesnt work
Hope to see some progress about it soon as I need root to restore my titanium backups from another phone

Please read some of the guides.
It is impossible to directly root that FW,
Downgrade to .534, root and then upgrade OTA
I think dont downgrade your phone to 538.My some friends have problem about camera and walkman bla bla.Wait the root programme for 257

There are no problems because you immediately upgrade to .257 OTA and the problems go.
You downgrade to the older version and are on it for as long as it takes to root (2-3 minutes) during that time the camera does work (But you can fix it if you want by clearing the data in the camera common app) but as soon as you upgrade it works again...
Do this my friend i did it and it work for me ...

Learn before doing atleast, so we don't get fifty new threads about generic issues.
This is a development forum, and it would be nice if it's not overly cluttered with useless threads all the time.
Also the mods gets a break aswell
I do not mean to be rude, but people who ask questions, which the answer to, lies a couple clicks away, generally don't want to bother themselves with reading.
This is a shame, because the great developers on here are excellent at writing extensively about how to do things, and what you should and should not do.

I'll answer your queries one by one.
1. No it won't cause any problem.
2. I am not sure of Sony Live app, I tried using sony Jive and it rejected the ROM by giving some error that signified that Sony Jive app was for India fw only.
3. Yes, as soon as a new firmware would roll out for Taiwan, you would get an update, no matter you try to update from India.
Don't forget to press thanks if you think I helped you :good::good::good: .

Don't want to ruin your happiness, but this update is not really a good one as it reduces the speed of XZR and is much more heavier. The lockscreen turn on sometimes takes 5 seconds to 15 seconds after sometime of usage with the ROM. Some of the modules in XPOSED are also creating problem and continuously send force close to the UI. That is why I also updated to the same firmware and now am back on 4.3 India firmware. I am happy with this. Would wait for second performance upgrade to XZR KK.
Anyways congo to your new update and enjoy the new features. :good:
I'm having the latest update 4.4.4,14.4.A.0.157 and C6903 version, so when playing even simple games like Candy Crush with WI-FI or 4G turned OFF, the phones gets warm.. also with Google Chrome browsing or Facebook.
Is there a way to solve this? I don't want to send my phone to Sony service, waiting weeks to get it back...
If root can solve, this how to root my phone? Never rooted an android phone so if possible I want some detalied informations about rooting and unrooting(I don't want to lose the warranty, sometimes I would want to unroot the phone). Saw some things with CPU settings that helps Z1 to don't get warm anymore, maybe you guys knows. Thanks!
well first if you can install a custom rom with LB
if i didn't solved your problem
i recommend you to use a custom Kernel but you need ulock your bootloder in order to flash kernel
