Need some help with root and stuff. - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there guys,
I need some help with root,
I'm on the latest firmware on my Xz, with the latest build 10.4.1.B.0.101 (Android 4.3)
I've heard that it's fairly impossible to root right now?
But if there is someone who can help me, that would be damn great.
Coming from a Samsung device, so expecting a learning curve right here.
Cheers guys!

I'm still questionable about the ftf file, I mean, does the flashtool recognize the file itself, and will it download it to my phone after the procedure, the rest of the story is quite clear, but still kind of scared to get the root.

I don't really understand your question, but yes, flashtool is able to flash the chosen .ftf file to your phone. When you choose an ftf file from flashtool, it recognizes the content of the ftf file and you can choose which partitions you want to be flashed (if you wanna skip some).

I need to know everything to NOT brick my phone

Hey guys, so a friend of mine just gave me this Xperia X8 (E15a) and Ive looked up some stuff I need to know before unlocking the bootloader in order to flash a different ROM.
So I am interested in this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1188486 (GingerDX).
I would like to install it?
What steps should I follow? Where is the best tutorial?
By the way, will I able to do this without bricking my device?

11W06 i think its okay to unlock
You are safe to unlock your bootlader But is optional for gingerdx as you can install without doing it, you only have to flash the one that tells for stock kernel

[Q] Help with updating from 4.4.4 to 5.1.1

Xperia z(c6602).
I'm on rooted 4.4.4 locked bootloader with dual recovery. I could not update through the OTA since it enters it TWRP rather than stock recovery to update.
Can I directly flash FTF file of 5.1.1?
Is there anyway to way remove the Dual recovery and restore stock recovery?
Is there any other way to update to 5.1.1 without unlocking bootloader?
Please tell me any other solutions. Thank you

You can flash ftf without problems. If you want to save your files uncheck WIPE/DATA on flashtool

Downgrading From MM?How To?

Hi Guys
I've N920CD Non Rooted. There is no MM in my region. About 2 weeks ago I flashed MID MM Firmware. All goes well. But using it for about half month i found couple of problems in it so I decided to go back to LP. So question is how to proceed? Is downgrading from MM to LP is possible? If yes then How?should I simply flash a LP Firmware or there is something extra to do?Plz Tell me.
Here is my Phone's current statuss

this process is probably listed in many of the post just on page one! Search is good...
However download the correct fw from sammobile for your device (5.1.1), and use odin to reinstall over MM. Factory reset. Jobs a good un

no moto RAZRi Baseband displayed (it says unknow)

just that.
No matter the factory resets I do and all its not working.
on options it shows Baseband version Unknown.
¿Is it posible (and if possible) to install the bb only and repair my radio cellphone?

what can I do?
After a long long night, was able to unlock bootloader, dwelling between the many Recoveries available ...many didn't work for this terminal. and finally rooted.
..i'm afraid to change it back to lock or unroot. but all i really need is a working baseband for my area (Latinoamerica, Chile) I really don't want to discard this device since it's still operative beside the baseband issue.
i'm not an expert so many words are just cryptic for me. So if possible, direct me to a kind of guided step by step. I already know how to work with adb (basic) and fastboot and mfastboot, and all that. but for basebands i'm really clueless.
