Is there any method to root the firmware 757 but temporary, on locked bootloader? Anyone knows?
Sent from my C6903 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
All root is temporary because you can just unroot by removing the files..
Also SuperSU app has an unroot function

No I do understand, but why would you want that?
Anyway, just replace the stock ric file.

There is no way, and there is no need to temp root xperia z1.. Temp root is only for device like HTC wich have locked bootloader and some added security such as S-OFF. In xperia u have only locked or unlocked bootloader and perma root.

You cannot pre root FTF files. Everything in a FTF file has to be completely stock from Sony
You need to follow the instructions in my signature if you want 757 and root and not unlock the bootloader

Just a few ones, like the live wallpaper MAY work. You need root to enjoy Z2 apps and many other goodies like the Xposed Framework.

Yes, dualrecovery you have to have to install 4.4 from .zip file then stripped from Flashtool. It's an easy installation and you will forget even to have it but is really important because you will do a full backup of your System and if something go wrong you can restore it.

Hi guys,
I have a xperia z1 running 4.4.2 14.3.A.757 and i was wondering if i could use Vroot running 4.4.2 to root my z1 or do i have to downgrade to 4.2.2 the open Vroot and start the root process.
also i was wondering if i could open root with many android and root with 4.4.2 rather than 4.2.2.
Have been trying to follow Shem's video on youtube, the root with may android binary method when i open the runme.bat file it says out of date?
Or is there a way when i can root using 4.4.2 without
-unlocking the bootloader
-downgrading
-loosing all user data.
Im a noob to all the root stuff haha!
thanks brandon

PS, Don't worry about posting your QUESTION in the wrong section. I provided an ANSWER anyway, and asked the mods to move it to the QUESTION and ANSWER section on your behalf.
To be honest I haven't a clue! Haha, I followed shems video on YouTube to root with binary method and when it got to flashable zip on the sd card twrp didn't seem to recognise the zip so I have to start the phone up with no os.. Flashed stock rom with flashtool. Tried to root the other day with the root many android and opened the install.bat file and it said it can't run supersu because my phone was out of date?

There is absolutely no need to root the phone using bin4ry, root many android, kingo or any other method. Shems videos are overkill (IMHO) and have unnecessary steps
Just follow the link in my signature. 3 steps and you end up with a rooted KK Z1

Yes, it totally wipes all data on the phone, e.g contacts, messages, call history, apps and data, and everything which belongs to internal storage.
You should get a backup before you unlock your BL.
You should just unlock it if you wanna root, and be aware of its pros and cons

Yes it is well known that there is no need to unlock in order to root
However, he has a Z1S. There is no way to root that phone at all, so the point is moot.
He cannot unlock the boot AND he cannot root.
Really? Z1S is unroorable? Or it's like Z1 kitkat, hard to root?

Its impossible.
Z1 KK is rootable because you can downgrade.
There are no rootable firmwares for the Z1S as it was introduced on 4.3 which has no root exploit.

you can only do that after unlocking the bootloader. But doing it that means you do not get to back up your TA.
