Hey guys,
I know i've asked this question before.
But now i really want a serous answer,guys i want to root "12.1.A.1.201",
Without downgrading,losing DRM keys and/or flashing custom ROM.
I want to be able to revert my phone to stock to get warranty when needed easily.
So i request @DooMLoRD to update easy rooting tool-kit to 4.3.
Or you guys suggest to in this matter.
Thank you in advance.
yeah DooM, please update easy rooting toolkit
I don't think that's gonna happen, because there isn't an exploit for .266
yes i have same request please @DooMLoRD

There are always exploits as no software is perfect its just a case of any developers having time to find one

So I found this post: http://www.xperiablog.net/2013/04/01/debrand-your-xperia-z-tutorial/ look very nice and I would like to try it out. Then I found this ROM for my own country: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2200945
Then I read the thread and saw people saying it would be easy to root it also without having a custom ROM. So i went to the recommenden post for it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
Now I have one question: Does this unlock your bootloader? I want to be sure it doesnt! And when I update my phone again after I rooted it do I need to root again? (with rooting there doesn't come another rom over it in this case, right?)
Thank you for your time!
BTW I have an Sony Xperia Z C6603 branded by T-Mobile
Flashing stock firmwares or custom rom doesn't change bootloader status.
After updating you have to root again.

Ok, thx. So when I use the root guide I actually flash my rom again? Or how does it work?
Sorry but i didn't understand what you mean?
Rooting guide is to root your phone so you can access system files,it's not like changing roms or flashing.

Ah like that. Just like changing permissions of the user or something. Like in Ubuntu the Super user. Thank you for your time!
Dear XDA users!
I got my T-mobile branded Xperia Z C6603 with 10.3.1.A.2.67 firmware.
I want to root it, i read a lot tutorials, but i don't understood what i have to do.
When I dial the service nuber, in the configuration the rooting status is: Bootloader unlock allowed: NO.
So i don't know how to unlock and root it.
Please help me.
Thanks
You cannot unlock the bootloader, but you should be able to root your xz with kingo android

Don't think you should recommend Kingo Root to users.
The program tries to contact servers in China for the root, for no reason and the developer of the application refuses to answer any questions regarding it.
It WAS discussed In this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2460745& 'til a mod closed it due to lack of response from the software developer and it seems insecure

Hi,
Im trying to root my xperia z1 with 4.3
im using vroot and the guide here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2439328
For some reason it asks me to let it do a full restore, i have backed up so i did wat i think it meant (dont speak chinese)
then after that instead of a tick it shows a cross and it obviously hasnt rooted the device?
What am i doing wrong?!
Thanks

You didn't do anything wrong, but currently Android 4.3 cant be rooted. if you want root, you have to flash 257 then 534 then root and OTA update to 257. and if you get OTA to the 290 android 4.3 you might keep root.
Do you know when root will be available for 4.3?

You can root, but you need to flash custom boot.img first. Just follow steps on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2573921

One of the 1st rules in XDA: Don't ask for ETAs
You must follow the threads and see, if one dev find a solution to root locked bootloader for 4.3. But take a look in the Xperia Z1 Android Development section. Or this thread, there a lot of hints and howtos for root.
Sorry I'm new! thanks for the tip!!

Hey guys and girls i've had my Xperia Z C6603 since it came out and I had rooted it since it was realeased to be able to but the other day I went to flash a custom ROM and bricked it. I then used the Sony tool to put the latest OFW on and reset it and then tried many different rooting methods with no luck.
I have the
C6603 on 4.4.2 and the.bootloader is not allowed to be unlocked.
Is it possible to flash a custom ROM and root it? And if so which method will work?
Its on 10.5.A.0.230 build :/
Thanks people.

If you're going to keep posting that, you should also advise people that it requires unlocking the bootloader and therefore invalidates warranty.

Indeed it does require an unlocked bootloader.
In your situation, the only way to gain root is to downgrade to a 4.2.2 firmware, root and flash a prerooted KitKat rom or a custom rom of your preference.

As the post is not in noob section its assumed that the poster is aware that it will invalidate the warranty.
please stop replying on my quotes

It's the Q&A section. If people knew everything, they wouldn't be asking for assistance here.
Please stop posting incorrect or incomplete information and replying without reading the question properly and I won't need to keep correcting you.
I'm sorry that you appear to be upset, but if you're going to reply to almost every thread here, then you should at least try to provide correct information.

As far as I was aware I couldnt unlock my bootloader if it states it wasnt allowed, and do I just need to use the Flashtool program to install a previous firmware? Im not up to date on rooting as left my mobile the same since I girst

You're correct. There's no way to unlock your bootloader.
Yes, you will need to download a 4.2.2 firmware and flash it using Flashtool. This will probably require that you wipe your data, unfortunately.

Thats perfrctly fine, I had backed up all my data with Helium Premium to Dropbox before I bricked it but now need root to get it all back lol

1. Download a 4.2.2 FTF - Download.
2. Flash it with Flashtool.
3. Install XZDualRecovery using the unrooted method.
4. Install a prerooted KitKat rom, such as this or a custom rom of your choice.
If you need any help with Flashtool, then just ask.

When updating to a new ROM eg, one at 4.4.x do I really need to upgrade up each build version? I looked at the requirements and one requires the next down, and then again and I think I would need to do it like 4 times.
You shouldn't need to, as most custom roms provide everything you need. The zip sometimes contains everything or sometimes you have to use Flashtool to flash a supplied FTF for the kernel and baseband.
If you're unsure, you could ask in the specific thread for the rom.

I upadted my phone to kitkat but i dont like it very much, I used to have root on the .757 but when i updated to kit kat i lost it, the big question is how to downgrade without lose imei and avoid problems?
thanks in advance for your help.
First, ask questions in the q and a section. Second you can root kk very easily. Thirdly if you want to downgrade just flash a ftf.
