If you flash a ftf you lose root, recovery, everything. It's like factory resetting.
What are you trying to do?

I'm going to reroot then flash a 4.3 rom I don't like kitkat
Sent from my C6903 using Tapatalk
Ok, but do you want root etc. If so just flash a pre rooted 4.3 rom
If you want a non rooted 4.3 rom with no recovery then flash a 4.3 ftf

He may have stopped supporting it but I am pretty sure the thread is still there.
However he may have removed the files from his server.
If so, just follow his guide to make your own, it will be a good project for you to learn more

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to follow Shem's video on youtube, the root with may android binary method when i open the runme.bat file it says out of date?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day with the root many android and opened the install.bat file and it said it can't run supersu because my phone was out of date?
Sent from my C6903 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
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

II can't install the xposed framework on my device. It fails to install anything. I tried installing it through TWRP recovery, but only the .jar got installed, the app_process won't install no matter what I do. PLease help. everything is stock rom. Rooted, LOCKED bootloader.
ADDITIONAL,
I also cannot create a backup for my rom in TWRP.. It fails when backing up system. but I checked the TWRP folder, it has files in it even the system. So is it really backed up and the message that says "FAILURE" is only a bug?

If you reffering to Update via PC Companion or OTA then, Right, you cannot do that, is not recommended as you will lose Root. ...but you can update to .761 Pre-Rooted by NUT, like you already did, same way, download files from HERE.
