downgrade to older firmware, root using this method, then upgrade back to latest firmware following the guide on how to upgrade and keep root.
Just search for it in the general section

No, downgrade to .305 (I thinbk it was for TX) root that.
Install cmw for locked bootloader.
Upgrade to a rooted FW of your choice in cmw and before rebooting flash the cmw .zip

Rooting won't brick your phone. And you can have root on stock

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.

yeah i know.because of that im waiting new update

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.

Here is a video that you might find useful:
That should cover a lot of the questions that you may have.

[Q] Bootloader unlock allowed: No

Ok, so I've upgraded to 4.3 and lost my root. As far as I know, to get root on 4.3 I will need unlocked bootloader to flash custom kernel and/or ROM. Unfortunately in the Service Info / Configuration of my phone it says: Bootloader unlock allowed: NO. So here's the question: is there any method of unlocking the bootloader other than official from Sony? Looking at the Xperia Z and ZL forums looks like there isn't, but maybe someone had succeeded on the Z1?
Thanks for any information.

[Q] Xperia Z1 C6903 Vodaphone, Bootloader unlock : not allowed. How to ?

Dear All,
First i thank you for you huge contribution to human needs in this planet ! You Rock dear community.
I'm more a reader than a contributor in most forums, i usually find the answers only by searching other people posts, but this time i couldn't find an answer .
I have an Xperia Z1 C6903, Vodaphone (i guess from spain), running Kitkat 4.4.2 with latest firmware 14.3.A.0.757.
I was trying to root it, i red practically all the methods here in the forums & elsewhere, and there was always one step that i couldn't bypass : UNLOCKING THE BOOTLOADER.
I took my code from Sony website, i tried many methods in vain. In my Phone it shows of course : Bootloader unlocking allowed : NO
My question is very simple : Is there on earth (even on other planets i can take the trip) any method to unlock my bootloader ?
Thanking you All in advance, and apologizing if this question is already answered in another topic, i really couldn't find it.
Awaiting your Help Dear Community.
Best Regards,

NO! There is no way to unlock it, there is no way around. Sony will generate the Code from your IMEI anyway but if will not work. Do not even try on Earth to find a way because there is not.

There is absolutely no need to unlock the bootloader in order to root.
Which is good news for you because you cannot unlock anyway.
In order to get root on the latest firmware then you just need to follow the link in my signature

Thanks All for your quick responses !
@gregbradley, excuse my question, but have you done this before on unlocked Z1 ? i mean will have full access to my phone ? (Install Super user, Titanium backup ... etc etc )
Thnaks Again.

once or twice
Just follow the 3 steps in the link
There is no need to unlock the bootloader, no need to backup TA partition (You only do that id you are unlocking the bootloader anyway), no need to use any dodgy rooting methods (Like Vroot etc)
Flash a 534 FTF
Install dual recovery
Flash a pre rooted rom
Takes about 10 minutes

Hello Again,
Done ! The method worked for me, my Z1 is fully rooted now even with my locked bootloader ! Thanks again
Only, and for those reading this post, specially Xperia Z1 C6903 owners, for step one you have to pick a specific FTF file and not any FTF ending with 534, The only one working (and gaining you Root access later on the process) is FW 14.1.G.1.534
Although you are on a recent FW, don't worry, after accomplishing the other steps, you will be back to the latest one.
N.B i tried many of the FTF ending with 534, but it didn't work except for FW 14.1.G.1.534
Cheers.

Surely flashing any of the stock based ROMs that the guys have recommended is better than having a phone thats not working as well as it should.. and from my understanding if bootloader un-lock is not allowed then you can not unlock it...
Good luck !!

Just don't forget to back up your TA partition first!
You probably don't know what it is, so search for that first, before even attempting to unlock your bootloader.

it is upto YOU whether you unlock the boot loader and put on a custom 4.4 rom, nobody can give you the answer

but if it says no on the dialer settings then it's impossible right? or is still possible?
