You should post this to Q&A Forum and not here
Thread on unlocking bootloader
I don't know what's up with the drm keys and how to recover or back-up them but you don't need to unlock bootloader to root your phone.Instead you can make your own .ftf file or download a pre-rooted rom from mrjraider or from any other user(eXistenZ is a good rooted rom 4.3).
There are instructions on how to do it (depending on what you're needing to).
Good luck with it!
Mods please move it to Q&A Forum.
If you have been reading much the last week or so, it is no longer necessary to unlock the BL to root (assuming you want to stay with 4.3).
It is not for the faint-hearted though, but this applies to those who unlock BL and those who mug around with the 4.3 stock FTF anyway

or u may just download these pre-root 266 rom
Could anyone confirm devs are working on the exploit for .266?

Hi, can someone help me? Want to root an Xperia Z Tablet with 10.1.C.0.370 firm.
Is there a way to make me root?
Thank you very much.
I believe the easiest way to root is to downgrade to .434, root via the known exploit and wait for OTA update to .307.
If you don't want to wait, you can backup your TA partition with DevShaft's tool, unlock your bootloader, flash a CWM & root kernel like DoomLord's then reflash stock kernel from an .ftf file and re-lock your phone by restoring TA partition. Always risking messing with TA, but its the best way to root if you are impatient
Thank you very much for your reply, I understand that even then there is no way to root the 370, this is correct right?
regards.
Are you people really going to make root topics each time a new fw comes out....?
If you can't wait then just unlock your BL!

Hello to everyone on Xda! I'm a C6903 user with 4.3 on 14.2.A.1.136,
I have a problem, i want to backup TA before Unlock bootloader, but for backup i need root, there is a possible way to backup without rooting and after unlocking bootloader?
I need this for a trusted unlock! Thank's to all!!
You can't Backup TA without Root and you can't Backup TA after unlock bootloader because after Unlock you will lost your DRM Keys forever with warranty.
You can Root without Unlock Bootloader so there is no problem at all. Use NUT method.

This is the NUT method, you have to downgrade with Flashtool to .534 provided by NUT to not lose IMEI, Root with Bin4ry Applicartion, then follow the instruction to update to .290. When you will have the .290 Rooted then you are ready to Update to .136 with the same method HERE
Watch the Tutorial Video How To.
This is all for Locked Bootlader.
Downgrade to 534. Root & backup ta. Flash stock 136 and unlock bootloader. Then flash stock adv kernel by doomlord. Install Update superSU and busybox. You will have root 136. That's it.

Is there any way to root Xperia z1 on 4.4.2 - binary method, without having to unlock bootloader or flash any modified ftf's?
No, there is no easy one-click root method for now. You can wait until someone finds an exploit and develops an easy method, but we don't know when that will be.
Hi,
Guys I need your help to understand this whole root thing and etc.
I do have Xperia SP software version 12.1.A.1.201.
I would like to root it. But to do it I need to unlock bootloader. - Fine, can do it as my status is YES.
but I don not want to loose DRM keys.
If i understand correctly first i have to unlock bootloader and then lock it again (to keep warranty) but first I need to root my phone to keep DRM keys.
But on my software i can't first root it and then proceed with bootloader.
Is there any method to first root the device, then unlock bootloader and keep DRM keys?
Sorry if this sounds stupid but I don't know where to start with it.
Thanks

Downgrade to 4.1.2, root that FW with doomlord's method, install recovery and flash a prerooted rom. You don't need unlocked bootloader for this

[Q] Is it possible to Backup TA on Z1 Compact (5.0.2) without Rooting?
The title says it all. And I don't want some "Smart-ass" to tell me it won't make sense, because you know what DOESN'T MAKE SENSE. Having to back up DRM keys before rooting not to lose it, and the only way to back it up is to ROOT.
If you know another way to back up DRM Keys without rooting first, please tell me. Thanks.
EDIT 1 : I can't root without unlocking BL because of my Firmware version. 14.5.A.0.270

1st: You back up drm keys so you wont lose them when you unlock the BOOTLOADER
2nd: NO you cant back up the DRM Keys without rooting (you cant interact with the system's partition if you dont have root)
3rd: Try Kingroot to see if it works,( download it, install it and press try)
4rth: This is a xperia Z thread not a xperia Z1c
PS: Why dont you try flashing another firmware?

OK so to root, I most likely have to "unlock" which makes me lose DRM keys and that's what I wanna do before "unlocking" which is ridiculous. The only solution I know of is that I degrade down to Kitkat firmware so that I would be able "Root without unlocking BL". Or if you know of a method that makes me root without unlocking the BL at this version it would be better.
