Help rooting latest 4.4.2 - Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi I've tried towel root, mod strings and the old active root method. None appear to work. I did previously root my active on 4.4.2 but can't for the life of me remember how?
Pointers would be welcome, Samsung appear to be the only device manufacturer still blocking device customisation.
Cheers in advance.

I've remembered that I used the cf-auto-root method by chainfire. I'll report back if it works with my current setup.

Unable to root

I just got a new Bionic and, being a noob, took the .893 OTA. Now I'm trying (unsuccessfully) to root it using 43V3R root
Again, I'm a noob so I can't post in that thead. Here's the error message(s) I'm receiving.

The phone has never been rooted and is at 5.5.893. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
use option 1
This should downgrade you to .886 and then root. after your sure root worked. accept the upgrade again.
Worked like a champ, thanks!
Glad your issue was fixed

Hi, guys.
I am quite annoyed by that extra confirmation to activate your data connection either by tapping the toggle switch or from the settings
is there a way to disable that?

edit: never mind, doesn't work, didn't read fully, apologies.

If you're running an aosp 4+ based ROM, try using the quick settings toggles. That might work.

[Q] [ROOT] How to root new build 4.2.2? [HELP]

Hi,
So recently I got a firmware update for my Sony Xperia Z (C6606) for another Jelly Bean build. I can't seem to find any tutorials or ways to root build 10.3.1.E.0.191.. If anyone knows of anyway I can root this build, please let me (and most likely a lot of others) know.
I've already tried DooMLord's v17 and v18 which did not work.
I also tried rootkitZ and rootkitXperia, and neither of them worked too.
Here is a screenshot of the build and model:

Is this update works with root?

I have a new update. I believe somebody have already installed. Hope so. Is this working with a cell rooted?

I have to assume that that is a 4.4.2 update.has far as I have been able to tell, if you rooted using SlapMyMoto and WPNoMo, then update, you will retain root access but lose your ability to disable write protection via rebooting into recovery.
Mmm i have unlocked bootloader with root through cwm.
