How can I root my Xperia Z 4.3 without unlocking the bootloader? I found a root tool from Bin4ary, does it still work? Or if I downgrade the phone to 4.2.2, then I update to 4.3, the root will remain?

Do not post questions in the general section!
To your question: downgrade to 4.2.2, root with root tool from Bin4ary and update ota to 4.3
There is a good how-to here on xda. If you root 4.2 and then do an ota you will loose root!

downgrade 4.2.2
root
install CWM/TWRP [XZDualRecovery]
install any 4.3 Rom like: [ [STOCK][C6603][4.3] Update to 10.4.1.B.0.101 [Root & XZDR][LB/UB]] if you want the stock Rom
done
I tried to downgrade, but now my phone won't open. Is always rebooting. What can I do?

I understand that this isn't the section to ask questions, but I have one more since I'm a begginer when it comes to modifying my phone. I succesfully installed the [STOCK][C6603][4.3] Update to 10.4.1.B.0.101 [Root & XZDR][LB/UB]] ROM, but now Google Play, sync and google account authentification don't work over wifi, only over mobile data. Google Play always says "No connection", and I can't download anything. I tried to clear cache, delete updates, disable google play, google services, changing my hour, reset my wireless, factory reset the phone, but it still doesn't work. Youtube, Firefox, Chrome all work perfectly over Wifi. What can I do?
And also the Frozen Free Fall game doesn't work. Is always force closing.
Thank you for your help.

If you update ita you won't loose root, you only loose it when updating via pcc, flashtool etc

well thats it i can´t install apps or games from play store even can´t download music from google play, I get root trough rock my moto then some problems appear (bootloop) so i dont know how to solve it and i did a factory reset then everything was ok, but i never can download any apps or get some update for the apps that i already have any ideas? I have cleared the cache partition, cache of play store, cache of google services, uninstalled those apps,force detention etc but notingh works so I hope some one can help, I have the version of Mexico xt 1058 and the firmware is 139.12.35 android 4.2.2, thanks in advance
Did it throw any error? Are you on a wifi network?
Clear all data from the play store, not just cache. If that doesn't work, restore to stock. You can back up your apps with helium or titanium backup.

Already have erased the full data of any apps from google but nothing,I cant go back to stock because the last firmware for my bootloader is an older version so i cant go to do downgrade (i think) i tried that but that only stopped the bootloop, i have downloaded an external apk of root cheker and its says i have root access

My rooted 4.2 c5502 started showing ota for 4.3 (file size is 307.1Mb), I was hoping update via ota would retain the root. Unfortunately, after many tries, the update keep on failing.
When click on update, system will reboot and screen showing android icon with a progress bar. The progress bar will run for about 3 or 4 second and system just rebootsback to lockscreen and show a msg saying "could not install".
I assume this might be due to the dual recovery I installed? Before I try restore the recovery, anyone else able to update via ota and still got root?
I too rooted my phone nd tried to update the phone via OTA. But I was getting error message.
I didnt install any recovery. I just rooted my phone via vroot.

Thanks for the confirmation. I know for sure you can update through PCC as I did for another phone. I too rooted using vroot. Anyone else with other rooting method pls share the result.
I had the same problem! (Got root via bootloader unlock)
Mine also got problem cannot update my ZR. my ZR also root and boatloader still lock. If hard reset can solve the problem or not?
Just try this

You should try this, you can get root and the latest version (locked/unlocked bootloader)
I got my with this metod, really working and no bug (only the original bugs from Sony

In another thread a possible solution for this problem was mentioned: if you have renamed or deleted some original files (like system apk's or some other protected files) the upgrade routine recognizes it and stops the upgrade process.
In my case the problems were caused by removed apps, when I restored them, everything worked flawlessly.

Well did hard reset and remove the root yesterday on my zr then update thru Ota still fail.
okay so I tried the ota for lollipop so many times but always 'cannot install update' pops up after reboot. I read a few threads here and I learned that the best way is to install a stock firmware then update to LP. btw my phone is C5502, i installed superSU but i have it permanently unrooted and was successful. Also i installed busybox but uninstalled it now. I have a foldermount but it's not working since i have no root anymore. Plus my phone is still bootlocked, i guess. anyone can help me what to do since I cant do flashing without a computer. I'll really appreciate some help here.

I'v this problem too but i get over it by updating by sony pc compination
OTA will often fail if you have changed anything in the system.
Root, uninstalled a system app so to do a OTA you will have to undo the changes and also se that there are no left over files.

Rooting your phone makes it vulnerable lol...
What you should do now, is to unroot your phone and reset it immediately.

reset your phone.
If you don't want to, uninstall any browser except built-in browser, install antivirus then run it.
