Rooting 4.3 Rom
please follow the steps
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48904376#post48904376

Thanks man. This worked a treat for me. Now, just need the kernel modified with a recovery, then I'll be golden.

Thanks!

Currently 4.3 Rooting is limited,
if your Bootloader is locked, you can follow the steps given by @[NUT] with our FTF files.. But you need to have your files ready (like the FTF, and Zip File)
i tried 2 times, it's failing in Flashing the 4.3 Zip (i gave created the Zip for XTZ), somewhere i have missed the files. Requested the help from [NUT], if we have an update from him we can have the Root :fingers-crossed: also for 4.3

Thanks for doing this! I was trying to get a 4.1.2 FTF before updating to 4.3 but, instead of repairing the 4.1.2 build, it updated to 4.3; now I will be able to downgrade and get root back!
Thanks

Hey mate, thanks a lot for the ftf files for sgp351 have been looking this files for a while, great to have this if you make a mistake instaling a rom

Unlocked bootloader here so no worries with that -
But even the vroot method does not work with the 4.3 update ?
And when you said you had problems flashing with the 4.3 files should we just hold off on trying to flash the zip you posted ?
Thanks

the files posted at first post are FTF files (not a flashable cwm files) of 4.1.2 and 4.3, that are working fine for me..
in order to get root in 4.3, i have tried the method posted by @[NUT] at Xperia Z forum. by using the CWM flashable method, that is not working...
currently, there is no direct method for rooting. all the methods will fail
we have to go back to 4.1.2, root it and then go with OTA (it's not available at the method), other approach is flash the files with root, currently i'm trying this approach with guidance from @[NUT]
EDIT: successfully rooted 4.3 will provide the details soon

No need to revert back to 4.1.2 cause 4.2.2 .67 can be easily rooted with vroot and then update to 4.3.

Try Factory Reset. If this not help try different FTF, I used NCB, maybe the one you choice is not for your country.

Like I told you already, there is not a direct root for your .290 FTF, but a method which will give you a full root on .290.

You don't have to unlock your bootloader to root your phone. You will lose your warranty. At the moment you can't root directly the .290 with Vroot or 360 Apps.
To root your .290 phone you have to follow the instructions carefully form the link I give you.

If you decide that you WANT to Unlock your Bootloader. I have found a real easy way to go through the process of unlocking and then rooting straight after.
Give me a message if interested.
I too spent days/weeks following tutorials and could not get my head around it(Especially unlocking bootloader). in the end i found my own way...

This is not possible at the moment, you have to wait.

I'm working on getting it rooted as we speak, i'll update you on my progress, shouldn't be hard.

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.
Okay here goes, you will need these things:
SuperSU Install zip
Doomkernel v08 kernel.elf file
Stock Sony 4.3 kernel, attached to this post.
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.

[Q] Just need root access on Xperia SP (BL Locked)

Hi,
Guys, I just need root access on my Xperia SP (C5302). I'm not interested in installing custom ROMs. If there's a method to achieve it, please post it or a link that would help me. The bootloader is locked and the build is .201.
I tried few vRoot and Kingo, but none helped.
Again, I just need root access.
Thanks in advance.

You can't just root 201 without unlocked bootloader. With lb you'll have to flash prerooted stock ROM

No you can flash and untick the wipes (also mentioned in my tut) but with the backup and restore app from sony (installed on stock rom etc) you can backup and restore aswel..

First: please black out your IMEI in the picture
To your question: You have to downgrade to 4.2.2, download any .ftf file and root it using Doomlords easy rooting method. Install the dualrecovery and search for a pre rooted 4.3 or 4.4 rom
