what is going on is this a joke ?
i asked a simple quesiton and i saw these replies ?
my question is my boot loader locked ?
okay from the first comment i can see there is no root for this version yet
but i can downgrade this version right and then root this device from jelly bean ?
If your on nc2 there is no root and no going back to jellybean. Bootloaders are locked. So you pretty much stuck on the official kitkat like the rest of us. Even though not for long. I read somewhere that an exploit was found that will permanently unlock the bootloader but it won't be available till August some time. So we need to be patient.

Yes it's locked
Correct, there is no root for 4.4.2 KK
No you cannot downgrade to JB

Good choice.. but it could be a bit laggy sometimes.. so if you choose, then root and remove some unwanted aps

So it seems there is not simple VROOT or Kingo Android ROOT style rooting available for those who don't want to unlock the boot loader.
Anyone came across anything similar that works?
I'm aware of this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588331 and the instruction in there, this is not quite the same as what I'm looking for.
Not yet.
I just want to ask this though. If unlocking doesn't break anything anymore why are you guys not willing to unlock.
On one side there are users who bash the manufacturers all year long just to get their devices unlocked, to no avail. Then some super awesome dev comes by with a Santa stick and pwns the bootloaders. (ex-AtrixHD user). And there are those who have unlockable bootloaders but don't want to unlock. I do not understand why really...This is my first unlockable phone. Unlocked my N7 2013 one month from purchase. Never have been happier.

OTA to 290 is useless. You only get partial root and that means you don't have much to do.

Agreed. It's better to flash a pre-rooted stock-ish ROM from the dev forum.

Useless, I already tried iHackers (pre-rooted stock-ish) on locked bootloader and got partial root access because Sony's RIC is in the kernel now. So whatever you do, you will only get partial root unless (somehow) you disable it. And currently there's no way to do it with a locked bootloader.
Regards,
~J2C
are we likely to ever see a 1 click root for 4.3?????
4.4 Kitkat will be out soon, make sense to whoever makes these 1click roots to just wait for 4.4Kitkat.
i stuck with 4.2 for now. locked BL and nothing on 4.3 to get excited about. rooted.4.2 is better. ill happily wait for 4.4

Have a look at this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49096314&postcount=16
Seems legit, but I have not tried it.
Hey i have the leaked version of 4.4.2 rom installed on my ATT note 3.
I hear news on the OTA update but i don't see why i need to get it.
I just want to get my phone rooted so i can use some of the applications that require super permissions.
Downgrading to 4.3 build seem like an option but some of the links bring me up to "file was removed because of copyright/somethinglikethat", also i prefer more of a one-click style.
But does anyone know where i can find it? Searching for it leads me to the exact opposite of what im looking for. So hopefully a thread post can help me out.
You can't directly root it as far as I know.
You may end up having to revert to MJ5, install SS and then install one of the 4.4 ROMs we have available.

i read his post, but you can't get safety strap installed properly without having super user permission. If there is no root for the leak i only see the option to downgrade to jb and get root. The process seems tedious and like i said a bunch of the things you need to download, the links aren't workin.
As far as I know, the links are fixed.
Some people like myself are not lazy and have no problem doing tedious things to get their phones to function the way they want.
You may not care about downgrading to upgrade to a custom 4.4.2 ROM with root, but others do.

Find out what firmware version they're running then come back.
If you provide no information, then you cannot expect any help other than being told to search.

Kingo Android Root worked well for me until I updated to 4.3 Sent from my xperia z C6606 Sorry everyone, just thought I'd help the guy.
It isn't a matter of not wanting to help. He provided no useful information. The method of rooting varies by device and firmware version, so if he didn't provide that, then nobody can provide the correct information.
I don't recommend using Kingo. It collects a large amount of information on your device including hardware IDs and serials and sends them to a server in China, supposedly in order to download drivers. It does facilitate that, but just the model number could achieve the same. They even used to collect your IMEI until they were caught and stopped. Not exactly trustworthy behaviour.
If you're running 4.2.2 or older, use Root many Android by trusted XDA dev Bin4ry to root. It doesn't collect any info or even connect to the internet.

Here is a post I made in another thread regarding downgrading/rooting.
This may be helpful as well - How to flash stock roms with Flashtool
The images in that tutorial are broken, but the text explanation should help.
It is also possible to root then upgrade OTA and keep root, but it requires SuperSU Pro. If that's the route you want to take, then after downgrading, instead of flashing a recovery-
Root with Root many Android
Enable OTA survival mode in SuperSu Pro
Update via OTA

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.
