Rooting

I have latest official firmware JB 4.3(12.1.A.0.266).
Now i want to root it.
Is there any way.
Thanks

Yes there is. However you need to unlock your bootloader for this.

However for unlocking bootloader you need to create a backup of the TA partition and this requires root.
So there is an loop in this issue.......
What some users do:
- Downgrade back to 4.1.2 (see my tutorial about Flashing with Flashtool)
- Root it
- Backup TA
- Unlock bootloader/Install CWM
- Install custom 4.3 rom with root

Those who do not want to unlock bootloader are waiting for @DooMLoRD to release an exploit for official firmware JB 4.3(12.1.A.0.266).
I am one of them.

Yes

If you want to install a custom rom you need to unlock your bootloader, this will void your warranty.

First: please black out your IMEI in the picture
To your question: You have to downgrade to 4.2.2, download any .ftf file and root it using Doomlords easy rooting method. Install the dualrecovery and search for a pre rooted 4.3 or 4.4 rom

thank you for your reponce.
I have a problem during downgrad .... bootloop
and repaired with PcCompanion
but I'll try again

When I am in 4.3, i use the method flash back to 4.2 (kernel only) to root, then flash back to 4.3 (flash kernel only) follow this thread by Doomlord:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...-rooting-firmware-10-3-1-0-t2386405?nocache=1
My question is: can I use this method with stock 4.4 (locked bootloader) ? if this possible, does anyone have stock kernel only in .ftf file ?
Thank you!

You have to wipe all the data on your phone, there are 3 boxes that have to be checked in flashtool

this is good
I do not understand why it does not work
I'll jump out the window
thank you

Go back to kitkat install root and recovery
Download pre rooted firmware of your region and past it to sd card
Now follow instructions of the page that you downloaded you pre rooted rom
Generally it should be wipe and flash however some roms need to flash stripped kernal so reed the instructions on that page carefully
In this method you dont need to unlock your bootloader....

In that case you better stay away from root, because if you break something, there will be more hassle.
If you want to root, learn how to do that, there are plenty of tutorials here on XDA available. Start reading, don't wait for someone to hold your hand.
