Root for Unlocked Bootloaders ONLY
you can flash any FTF of Official JellyBean FW 9.1.A.0.489...
1) download SuperSU and place the file on SDCARD
2) download latest TWRP for JB and flash it using fastboot
3) boot into recovery and flash SuperSU update.zip
4) reboot device
You might also want to install busybox... Just go to market and download busybox installer (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox) and after downloading app select /system/xbin/ as location to install busybox...
enjoy Root!
Strange.. When I tried to uninstall some system apps, one of them uninstalled, then the others failed, and now I can't do anything that requires root, almost like I'm no longer rooted...

Installed, still not working.
I have definitely done everything correctly, I have tried both SuperSU and Superuser, busybox installed to /system/xbin/
I guess I could try a different ftf, although I highly doubt it would help.

Maybe a silly question, but you did wipe data when you updated right?

Downloaded a different ftf and that one worked, must have been a faulty download...
EDIT: Nope, I tested by uninstalling one app, when I tried to uninstall others it failed again.
I had total success with this method, how every I have also had a reboot :/
Not sure what caused it and couldn't get at my pc to get hold of any kind of log.
Might just try a pure stock unrooted jb for a while and wait to see if problem is reproduced or reported by other users.
Otherwise, great work Doom, look forward to your feature packed DoomKernel once your exams are dusted!!(best of luck btw)

Yep.
I ve got big problem. After flashing your kernel when i'm trying to boot the phone it shows white triangle and blue bar under the triangle. Phone wont boot. Im on unlocked bootloader. exactly what ive done:
- flash 4.1.2 europe via flashtool with full wipe
-flash your kernel with recovery
-enter recovery- it shows "cant mount system, cache data etc
-reboot
-before sony logo -> white triangle and under triangle blue bar
- again flash 4.1.2 europe via flashtool with full wipe
-before sony logo -> white triangle and under triangle blue bar..
So, what now i can do to boot my phone?
please help
Is it possible to have CWM with stock kernel?
Flash back stock kernel. There are no working custom kernels yet as far as I know

That'll get rid of CWM. There is no way to have CWM with the kernel provided by Sony. What doom has done is included CWM in essentially what is his version of the stock kernel.

hi..
my xperia z is rooted with locked bootloader, and im using twrp 4.3.2.0
my prob is.. my twrp recovery is not responding. everytime i boot into recovery, i will get stuck at twrp menu. so i cant install stuff
anyone?
Eject and insert ext sd card is mentioned in the twrp ttead
Sent from my C6603 using xda app-developers app
My question is if is possible install a recovery in sdcard or from flashtool.
For all user that as me lost recovery and root upgrading firmware.. 4.3 to kk For example.. Only solution is return to 534 and restart all.. But with external recovery or one dual boot... Maybe is impossible for LB.. Im not a dev.. This is only one idea

No,
Just do what you said in the post. no need for unlocked bootloader at all.
So.. Nothing for LB.. As a Sd bootable CWR..

No recovery has to be in the system or in the kernel.
But you have already given yourself the solution,
downgrade to 534, install dualrecovery, flash SuperSU, install the KK prerooted rom, done.
After rooting n flashing xz1dualrecovery with the help of pc and then flashing super su 2.00 i am facing strange problems! After a day my phone is not booting in recovery, no vibration or yellow lights during restart! Then after yesterday i saw that its not switching off when i hold power button and then click 'power off' only reboot to safe mode and holding power n volume up is working. I had uninstalled google play services, google plus n all except google search, google sttings, maps nplay store. I uninstalled youtube and notes too. N Yes i had backed up entire partion via xz1dualrecovery, but after that due to insufficient space i manually delete the backup file from sdcard/clockworkmod/
What do i do now?
And also tell me please that whether i update 4.4.4 via ota when it come(my phone is rooted, bl locked) ? Thanks in advance...
N last of all kindly suggest me what apps do i install now to improve my phone(i had installed busybox free, rom toolbox, android tuner, set cpu, trickstermod, add free and uninstalled them, only root app present is titanium backup pro).

You lost recovery and had all those problems because you installed busybox...
Read OP from XZDualRecovery - it clearly says - do not install busybox.
Busybox is included and if you installed another version you'll lose recovery...
You can flash fw via flashtool and root device again to repair that...

Sure you can...
You will lose root, of course but for now, there's no fw for Xperia which cannot be rooted.
So, when PC Companion say - update is ready, update your device and root ut using easy root, install NUT recovery and you'll be rooted with recovery again.
There's no "better" recovery on locked bootloader, there's only one recovery by NUT.
In that recovery you can choose CWM, TWRP and PhilsRecovery.
CWM and TWRP are my favorites and you there's not much difference between them.
Both will do the job...
