Hello guys, i have been playing around with the new offical 4.3 rom, I have found a little way for now to get rooted, take a look below...
***Disclaimer, I am not responsible if you blow up your phone, loose data, or do anything silly, I am merely trying to help, and point people in the right direction***
Okay it's a long winded approach to get rooted, but i guess it will have to do for the time being... Until a new updated rooting tool is available.
Here we go then , you will need these things:
SuperSU Install zip
Doomkernel v08 kernel.elf file
Stock Sony 4.3 kernel, attached to this post.
UBL (Unlocked Boot Loader!)
A brain and common sense.
Lets go then, first install the stock android 4.3 FTF....
Once this is done disconnect your phone, put it into fastboot mode and install the Doomkernel. Now upon boot, go into recovery, and install the SuperSU zip normally.
Once this is done, power off your phone (Holding down the power and volume up)
Go into Fastboot mode again, and install the provided stock Sony 4.3 Kernel.
Unplug your phone, boot it, and there you go, rooted stock android 4.3.
If you have any questions ask, no question is too stupid, or PM me and i'll help you best I can.
Reserved for more information, FaQ ETC...
I guess its only for unlocked bootloaders, because after flashing custom kernel on locked BL xperia, it won't boot.

Thanks mate.i want to relock my bootloader later so i'm waiting for a working recovery

Can this method use for xperia v?
If yes,
I can't find Doomkernel v08 kernel for xperia v

How can i root with locked bootloader? Can i use flashtool to root 4.3?

No this method is only for Unlocked bootloader.
V7 should work just fine, all we are after is the recovery to flash the SuperSU
Thanks a lot it's working
Never did before on sony and the biggest problem for me was entering in recovery, so just in case, to enter recovery, when LED is pink press {vol up for 2012 models} or {vol down for 2011 models}
(used 1268-6904 Generic Nordic)

I can have root with that? With locked bootloader?
HELP ME!
HELP ME!
I tried this method on my Xperia V. I flashed the kernel then accidentally booted into android. Soft bricked. So I flashed back Sony kernel.
Working now but now there is something wrong with the screen.
I'm not sure what's wrong but it looks like the gamma is too high. I'll post a picture.
:crying:
It would be my only way to get rooted..
Why??? Flash a custom recovery and use it to root. Or - even better - flash sbdags modified and rooted stock rom, or - still better - flash CROMi-X 6.0.1

Er... no... wait... what?
You can currently only root on an unlocked device. You can root on 4.2 or 4.3 it makes no difference. I made a flashable zip in the dev section But if you are going to do that go for CROMi-X 6.0.1 as berndblb says....
You can downgrade if you want btw but why?
In my about phone menu I can see the Android version is 4.3 which says to me this is a jellybean ROM. However I seem to be getting conflicting info via Google as to whether this is a kk or jb ROM. Very dumb question since I'm 99 percent sure it's jb but I want to make sure before I go flashing ROMs (safestrap and root installed already)
I appreciate any I formation. Thanks
Mi9, mj5 and Nb4 is jelly bean MLG is leaked kitkat nc2 Is official kitkat

the mj5 jb roms are useable even of youre on nb4, and the kk roms, go in the general section and look for mr. tropazr's thread for more info on how to go to kk from jb. they are all pre-rooted so dont worry about losing root.

Thank you so much.
I see there is so called stock roms with boat ware removed but most seem to have lots of other changes are they really stable as in exactly like stock? I am also not sure how I know which one was my phones original stock. I bought it on eBay and it's had various roms flashed. So ideally I would like to have it unrooted and just the bloatware removed but maybe that's not possible so rooted and no bloatware would be ok. Thanks

Most of the stock roms in the development section are quite stable and all the info about removed bloatware is also stated in the threads of those roms.
You can find your original stock rom at http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ or http://live.samsung-updates.com/index.php?device=GT-I9305, according to your country and carrier (the country where you live is your official firmware, doesnt matter that you have bought it from ebay and what firmware it had on it before). After you download the firmware flash it with odin, but be warned about KNOX bootloader on 4.3 official firmwares! If youre not knoxed yet, you can update to 4.3 stock rom without getting the knox bootloader with this Rom.
If you prefer your own official firmware, you need to remove the bloatware by yourself using a file manager with root acces. Be careful with what you delete if you gonna do so! always READ EVERYTHING carefully and do lots of RESEARCH :good:

Yes thanks unfortunately I do have the Knox warranty void 1 message swerev a2 think it says as well I thought it might mean I'm in trouble. I hear you can't reset it so I can't go to any official firmwares now?
I really need stability I thought cm 10.1 would be stable but there's lots of crashes... by pretty stable you mean cm 10.1 pretty stable type thing for the boat ware removed roms? Want to find something near or as good as official...thanks.
EDIT: OK so hmm getting some mixed messages reading about it all but basically I went from 4.3 stock to cm11 then to carbon rom and finally to cm 10.1.3 so I think I can go back to stock 4.3 using any uk based stock from Sammobile? Not sure which would be best yet but I am with three so I might do the h3g one. Or possibly a rom with bloat removed 4.3 or above... Guess the warranty is gone now...and hopefully I'll be ok for any upgrades in the future...

I see your rom looks pretty good...is it super stable? So because I went to cm10.1.3 does that mean I can't go back to 4.3 based roms or only official? Thanks

What rom do you mean exactly?, I dont have a rom that i made myself yet..
you can go any time you want back to 4.3, custom or official doesnt matter both is possibble, just be rooted and have the latest philz recovery installed or any other recovery.

I meant the one in your Sig . I might try that then maybe end up on stock. One thing was I was hoping to be able to unroot it on stock as I have a banking app that won't run on rooted devices .

Can't boot into recovery mode or anything on mtk 6575 device
My Tecno D5 which has an Mtk 6575 chipset
got bricked after installing a font app and I
decided to use mtk droid tool to flash an
automade cwm recovery on it while its still
bricked. To cut the story short, after the whole
process of using another similar devices boot.img
and recovery.img to flash the automade recovery
on my device, my phone won't even get to
stock recovery(all I get is just a blank white
page after the normal logo at boot) .It also gives
me this when I try booting up.... Pls!!! a swift
reply wouls be appreciated as I'm just a learner
at this.

Ok thanks and I meant this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development-i9305/rom-amcha-rom-v5-00-simply-customizable-t2619670
Looks like a Rom. But does look a little more complex than usual ! I might try that first. But as long as it won't brick my device I might have to flash a stock and unroot depends on many things. Thanks.

Sounds good but I usually avoid new updates at first I prefer stability to a certain extent so you can't just update it? You have to do a fresh install? Anyway I'm on it now and it is very stable compared with the other roms I've used - very nice. Not sure if I did all the options correctly but I'll have to test...Still getting weird white patches on this xda form web pages in chrome...had this with every Rom I tried...not quiet so bad with this Rom but still there...strange only happens with this Web site too?!

Rumors, facts, plans whatever discuss it here.
Do you think we could see a Android 5.1 update? I really would hope so for as slowly as they've been rolling it out, or what do you think the possibilities of (after LP Update is released) seeing a 5.1 rom is?
5.1 looks a lot better to me than 5.0.1/5.0.2 minor small improvements and what not.
This phone will never see lollipop as long as it exists

Will i lose root if i update to Lollipop ?
I am on stock, but need root to delete all crapware like ATT navigator and what not. If i update to Lollipop, will I lose root ?
Got to reflash the official odin firmware latest probably then don't root just check for updates and take it.
Also yes after getting lollipop you can just reroot with towelroot and debloat your rom.

Negative ghost rider, towelroot doesn't work on anything passed 4.4.2. It doesn't even work on any flavor of 4.4.4, such as NL1. The only way to root from stock LP is to downgrade via Odin to a firmware supported by TR (4.4.2) and root from there, install safe strap, blah, blah, and flash a pre-rooted LP ROM, then reflash the LP kernel, modem, etc.

Odd it worked for my rom in my sig and it's 4.4.4 based, what about framaroot then I wonder?
Ohh well if what ya say is true we should be seeing the LP rom's coming soon in the next week.
Is there an external download source for the Lollipop ROM to install via ODIN yet? I'm on X Note and just want to wipe and flash through odin rather than flash to stock, downgrade and OTA etc....
