[Q] Any idea how to get root access on 9.1.A.0.490 (LT25i Singapore)?

Hey Guys,
I've been trying to try to get a root on my LT25i on JellyBean.
Till date, I am unable to get root.
I'm looking at using my Carrier's stock firmware.
Build: 9.1.A.0.490
Carrier: M1, Singapore

Read the all in one thread.
Downgrade to ics, Root, then follow the instruction s to upgrade whilst keeping root

We can't use flash tool to downgrade cause its not supported! Any other suggestions??
Thanks

Yes it is, just flash an ICS ftf

EDIT,
Sorry my mistake, now I am at my PC I can see you have a V.
In which case rooting is easy..just unlock you rbootloader and flash an insecure kernel.

There does not appear to be a method for locked bootloader.

No, just flash.
If you want once a custom ROM/Kernel it would be good that you make a backup of your TA before unlocking bootloader.
Edit: if you want root, there is a stock based custom ROM with root and recovery(for 4.3).

I noticed that also. A normal thread name is really not like that. A thread name says in some short words the problem. Example: bricked phone says much more then only i have a problem. That is the sense of a thread name

[q] urgent!!! Help please!!!

Hi everyone,
This is my first time posting so sorry if it is in the wrong place
I have got an xperia z and I decided to change over to cyanogen mod. I the got rid of that and flashed across a stock rom which works fine however it is telling me that I have an update ready but the update center won't do the update because it tells me I have a custom rom so does anyone know how to return it to how it was when it came out of the box?
Many thanks in advance

Relock your bootloader if you want to receive updates officially. Flashtool can do it in BLU mode.

Thank you! Will relocking my bootloader wipe anything?

Update framaroot

Seen this app that can root phone easily without downgrading and any hard stuff that most of us don't want to risk so can anyone update that app so that it can root our 4.4 kit Kat update

No. It doesn't work like that. A new exploit has to be found to root KitKat. It isn't just a matter of updating existing tools.

No, you dont need root or unlock bootloader.

I did that 3 days ago, my xz runs better now, you need flashtool,drivers and the rom you want to flash
