Hi guys, just received my Z1s yesterday and I'm enjoying the phone itself so far, but I'm more used to Nexus, & Samsung devices, so I'm a little lost. I did hear the bootloader is locked down on this phone but is there a way for me to gain root at least so I can at least use apps like Titanium backup, n stuff??

Wow, your is a Z1s, from my monitor i didnt notice the "s" hahahah. I think you should wait a little more, im not sure if the z1 rooting method is aplicable to z1s, better wait until an "official" post about it.....

So yea, I'm looking everywhere on how to root an Xperia TX. I admit I'm a bit of a noob but I just want to root my phone. I previously had an Optimus One and I successfully rooted that and applied a custom recovery loader along with a custom ROM aswell so I'm not a complete noob.
Every where I look, the website is either not reliable or the guide is for the Xperia T or V. I'm a little worried about following an Xperia T guide so I just wanted to ask what would be best to do or if anyone has a guide that they can link me to?
Thanks in advance.
I have to say, I am really enjoying the community even though this is my first time posting.

Still a little unsure, it says nothing about the TX and I dont exactly know about firmwares and such.

First.
Remove the mention of the app from the OP. Any mention of warez etc is banned from xda.
Secondly.
Just follow the instructions to root.
If you are on newer firmware 195 or 223 then flash a TX firmware that is 303 (Or equivalent)
Then use bin4rys method to root, then the method to update back to newer firmware whilst keeping root. Its all in that thread.
Same for me, it wasn't clear in that thread.

You just saved me and my phones life I just ordered a TL29i and it will arrive next week. First order of business is to root! Do these come with a locked bootloader? I know Sony has a website to unlock it for "developers."
It depends, I would have asked the people I was getting it from before you ordered it... Beyer hope it is otherwise there is no unofficial way to unlock yet

Did you ever get your LT29i (TX) rooted successfully? Just un-boxed mine and charging it before I even try rooting it. Any tips or advice on reading through all those threads?

Had they have read the sticky to begin with they wouldn't have needed to ask at all, especially about the most common things such as rooting.

Do You need root?
If You like to delete some useless apps which You cannot delete without root acces or You wanna install apps which must have root access to be installed and used - than YES.
If You are not in need of those things - don't bother rooting.

Rooting allows you to unlock the full potential (at least 80%, Unlocking bootloader the other 20%) of the Xperia, stock sound is really quiet so even if you root and install puresound mod is worth it

Dear XDA users!
I got my T-mobile branded Xperia Z C6603 with 10.3.1.A.2.67 firmware.
I want to root it, i read a lot tutorials, but i don't understood what i have to do.
When I dial the service nuber, in the configuration the rooting status is: Bootloader unlock allowed: NO.
So i don't know how to unlock and root it.
Please help me.
Thanks
You cannot unlock the bootloader, but you should be able to root your xz with kingo android

Don't think you should recommend Kingo Root to users.
The program tries to contact servers in China for the root, for no reason and the developer of the application refuses to answer any questions regarding it.
It WAS discussed In this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2460745& 'til a mod closed it due to lack of response from the software developer and it seems insecure

May be you didn't follow the step Because I know lot of people had root.

Does anyone think the Z1s should have its own thread or at least sub-category?
Just a thought.
It's the same exact phone but with a locked bootloader and most likely not much development, so no I don't think it needs its own subforum

I guess I meant more towards its own accessory forum. Much like the LG-G2 Verizon has its own.

This was not confirmed yet by any Developer so wait until then, do not risk to brick you phone, the solution will come soon.

I already tried. It doesn't work just like how you cannot .290. I doubt you can downgrade to a Z1 firmware.
