i was just wondering as to how long it would take for root to be available for the xperia z with and then later without unlocked bootloaders. i know its been hard to root the xperia z on 4.3 without unlocking the bootloader, but will kitkat be any easier?
NO ! dude. for 4.3 and 4.4, you can only flash back to the 2.67 ,root using Doomlord's method, and flash to rooted 4.4 ROM
Actually, it's very easy to do this step by step.
Use the search button please
download Towelroot apk from towelroot.com (click on lamda symbole to dnload apk)
download supersu from playstore and open. it will ask to install binary, click yes and then click normal install.
this app can root 4.4.2 as well as 4.3.
sorry for my bad english.
If you want a noob\quick way to root so use kingo root for pc, just plug your device to pc ur pc and click ROOT and BOOM! You finished
Notice 1 : you'll need internet on ur pc
Notice 2 : its work only with 4.2.2 NOT 4.3 or 4.4.2
Use towelroot from Geohot (Just like Narry84 said).
it works for 4.3. (I can confirmed, it works for me)
and then install SuperSU from PayStore
that's it

Hi,
I would like to ask how can I root my Xperia zr with a locked bootloader and a stock ROM running Android 4.3? It was updated via PCcompanion without any previous root/unlock bootloader.
Thanks.

You can use the procedure described in this thread. You will need to downgrade to .310 to root your phone for the TA backup before unlocking the bootloader.
Or you can may be follow this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2590174
so you don't need to unlock the bootloader...
I upgrade my 5503 following this thread and everything is fine.:good:

Hi,
Do I still need to downgrade to 310 to root my phone .and then use flashtool to flash my phone?
No! Google for towelroot, download the apk, run it and install supersu from the play store and you are done!
towelroot
Install towelroot better google it and download apk
I apologise if this is previously sorted out, but I am pretty new to the xperia lineup(2nd day).
I have a C6902 with build number 14.1.G.1.531(android version 4.2.2)
Can I use bin4ry's tool to root?
And then directly use the XZdualrecovery installer?
At present I do not wish to unlock the bootloader neither upgrade to kitkat, but want to try stock based custom 4.3(flashplayer! Yay!) JB. Will iHackers 3.0 be installed without loosing root and the dual recovery?

Anyone?

I'm not sure about the bin4ry thing but there are many ways u can root on z1 since it's on .531
maybe vroot or king root
yes, then u can install dualrecovery and go for iHackers 3.0, your dualrecovery will be still here after installing
have fun
Hello All...
I used to root my 4.4.2 Xperia ZR by Using TowelRoot so easy but I flashed 4.4.4 stock as same as 4.4.2 but when I install tr.apk and click on root it doesn't work and says your device currently is not supported :|
YYYYYYY???????? :crying:
thanks for helping
Its what it say...... Not working. I root it by flashing an older kernel, root then with towelroot. Then flash the 4.4 kernel. Thats and fast and easy way to get root again

Hello People Can Any One Tell Me If Theres A Way To Root The Xperia Z1 With The Last Firmware 5.11 Without Downgrade To 5.0.2
kingroot ?
As of the moment, there are no know root procedures for 5.1.1 that have been posted in the Xperia Z1 General section other than pre-rooted FTFs downloaded using XperiFirm through Flashtool. Although - if my memory serves me right - I think I read somewhere here that if you have an unlocked bootloader, you shouldn't really have to worry about rooting as apparently it is easy to get root access. I really haven't explored the part of unlocked bootloaders even though I have a phone that I can unlock my bootloader though to be honest.

Its just around the corners of Xperia Z1 General section I believe. But to be honest, I don't want to mess about with my bootloader - but that's just me, my own preference. The good thing is locked or not, we can still root our nasty Z1 phones!

Personally though, If I have a new phone and it's on 5.1.1, I'll just downgrade to 5.0.2 because I can root it without a PC. Just use Kingroot, (optional) replace KR with SuperSU using Terminal emulator, and Baaaammm!!! phones rooted. Then I'll install DualXZ1Recovery, grab one of the pre-rooted 5.1.1, then flash away baby!!!

Make yourself a ftf.
Use flashtool to download your firmware. Use flashtool again to convert your firmware files to an ftf.
Flash the ftf with flashtool.

I am new to xda and this is my first post.
I found this thread very helpful but am stock right now...I want to root my xz1 already on 5.1.1, right now I have both ftf files of 5.0.2 and 5.1.1.
My problem now is...how do I create a pre rooted 5.1.1 from the ftf file? And does installing a pre rooted firmware gives all the privileges such as installing fonts?..I'd greatly appreciate your assistance.

You have to use a Windows prog called PRF Creator. With it you can created your pre rooted zip file.
The pre rooted zip file will give you root privileges to your phone. With root you can basically do whatever you want.
To flash the zip you need a working custom recovery on your phone.

How can Root Xperia Z1 C6902 Lollipop 5.1.1 without pre-rooted rom. Is there other methods to root my Xperia Z1 C6902 Lollipop 5.1.1 . My xperia is installed with orginal Lollipop 5.1.1 stock rom. I want to root it. But i don't need Pre-rooted Rom, is there any method for rooting it. And also i don't want to downgrade it for rooting.
wait till kingroot
either unlock your bootloader or wait for a exploit
I really hope not.
Every Android version has a root exploit, that is a nightmare for security, this has to stop...
just my 2cents, in general you should be glad if there is none
Are you sure you have access to /system ?

No there isn't. towelroot is super old and doesn't work with 5.1.1, and there is no one-click method for 5.1.1 on the Z1. Only pre-rooted flashable zips are working right now.
Please don't give advice if you don't actually know what you're talking about ...
@ubrider you don't need to be rude - I suggest you delete your comment for your own sake.
As of the moment, there are no known 1-click root process for Xperia Z1 running 5.1.1 Lollipop. You can however downgrade your phone to Kitkat by flashing a Kitkat FTF using Flashtool. You can also downgrade to 5.0.2 and root it using Kingroot which is a 1-click rooting process. Once you have gained root access you can replace Kingroot with SuperSU if you want, install a custom recovery then install a pre-rooted 5.1.1
@ubrider, If you have solid proof that there really is an existing 1-click root process for our Xperia Z1 running 5.1.1., please share it to the community. This is what I get: https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=Sony+Xperia+Z1+5.1.1+root
Please, stay on topic. If you don't have anything constructive or polite to contribute, do not post. If you have a problem with another user, please ignore them, use the report button and allow the moderators to handle it, or deal with it yourselves via private message.
You can create your own pre-rooted 5.1.1 firmware with prf creator, from yours ftf. Then flash back to 5.0.2 without wiping data root with any oneclickroot solution that suits you and have a superuser or supersu.
And install xzdualrecovery. Then flash your pre-rooted firmware w/o wiping data.
This way you won't lose your apps data and won't need to unlock bootloader.
That was what I did installed xposed etc. No problems faced.
Or you can wait till kingroot updates it's all up to you
Finally the one click method is here.....
