root proplem I need your help

So guys first I appreciate any one gonna help me
I have Xperia z c6603 4.4.4 android
I wanted to root my phone and I tried in every possible way but every time it fails
So I found a solution
P.s I don't have Internet connection for my pc
1-install super su and don't open it
2-flash old kernel so you can root
3-root your device (( in this step I tried rooting by flashtool and it did work but in the log it says root done.. rebooting device.. So I waited for 3 minutes but my phone didn't restart so i did it manually))
4-flash your. 283 kernel
5- upgrade supersu binaries so root is done
In step 4 I didn't find supersu (( which I've installed before)) but I found superuser app instead and I can't upgrade binaries or unroot or any thing. This app is useless
So i want to delete it and full root my device because in flashtool it says my phone is rooted but when I install any app for rooted devices only it says my phone is not rooted
I think maybe if I flashed an official 4.4.4 rom every thing will be normal again but I have a question. If I flashed a rom does that mean that I will unlock bootloader cause I don't want to unlock so i don't lose my be2 and drm keys
And I can't do ta raw backup (( to save be2 and drm keys)) unless I root my device
Please help me and sorry for my bad english

I've solved the proplem
First I flashed the old kernel
Then rooted successfully by towelroot (( instead of flashtool ))
And finally flashed the . 283 kernel
But I need to know if I flashed a rom does that means unlocking bootloader?
Or is it can't be to flash rom without unlocking bootloader?

As long as it has a stock kernel you do not need to unlock your bootloader. Any aosp based rom will need an unlocked bootloader (cyanogenmod, omnirom etc)
I've done every thing and made a nandroid backup and installed existen z 3.0.0 rom and it works very well but i dont have mobile bravia engine 2 and i dont know if the bootloader is unlocked or not.. And thanks very much for your help i really appreciate it

[Q] Xperia sp root without unlocked bootloader

Hello. Im new here.
I wanted to root my xperia sp via this video:
Code:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYwIWy_mzNw
But i did not wanted to unlock bootloader becouse of some error that happened during unlocking it (cant solve it). So i found rooting tutorial without unlocked bootloader. I did everything what was in video, now i have custom recovery TWRP and clockworkmod.
Also i have SuperSU and Xposed installer on my phone and some of my default apps are missing.
But here's a problem. Basically i don't have root. All of root checkers are saying that i havent got root and root apps dont work.
Also SuperSU is saying "there is no SU binary installed, and superSU cannot install it , this is a problem. if you just upgraded to android 4.3 , you need to manually re-root-consult the relevant forums for your device"
What should i do if i want to root my device properly ? Can anyone give me step by step tutorial or something so i cant brick my phone ? (Im really scared of bricking )
Hope you can help me
If you have recoveries installed then just flash superuser zip thats all http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu
I rooted with towel root and it works great...im usin. 207 AU firmware.. And i also found a somthing named rebootfix to use via pc after using towel root... Search and u can find it.. Gd luck bro..

Cannot Install Custom Rom Xperia Z for T-Mobile (C606)

Hello,
I have been trying all day to install a custom rom on my Xperia Z for T-Mobile. I have succeeded in rooting it and installing the recovery, but it looks like the bootloader needs to be unlocked. I have followed this guide and have rooted and installed the recovery but when I install a custom rom, such as paranoid android lollipop, it gives me an error and I cannot reboot into a rom so I have to run the Sony PC Companion tool and repair the device. I now have a completely stock Xperia Z and wanted to know the best way to install a custom recovery and flash a rom. I have tried unlocking the bootloader but it says bootloader unlockable no when I dial service, even after installing root and recovery. I have tried anyways and it says operation not permitted when I try to cmd the unlock code into fastboot. I was hoping someone could help me and guide me on how to fix these issues and finally install a custom rom.
Thanks
T-mobile Z bootloader cannot be unlocked, therefore you cannot flash custom kernel, therefore you cannot flash a ROM that uses anything other than stock kernel. Look for the "LB" tag in the ROM title, these are for phones with (L)ocked(B)ootloaders, and should be STOCK based ROM's.
Just make sure you follow proper procedures when upgrading to different versions of Android.

Trying to get back to stock ROM

Hey guys,
Today I messed up with TWRP and accidentally deleted the data partition.
I had used janjan's solution like a year ago to get magisk (I'm assuming my DRM keys are gone), and my BL is also unlocked.
Sadly, my phone booted to the new setup wizard, and now magisk is not working.
I'm desperately trying to get back to stock ROM in order to get root again and have a custom kernel or some other custom ROM instead.
I'm not sure if that is possible any longer, I tried using newflasher (v19) to flash into stock but sadly it didn't recognize the phone.
I'm kinda lost, and I would love if someone would help and point me in some direction in order to get things working again.
Current situation is I'm on firmware 47.1.A.12.179, and cannot simply update it through fota (it won't install), magisk isn't working, but the phone does connect to google play store and functions 'normally' (without root though).
If anyone has any idea of what I could do next, that would be supreme.
Thanks for your time!
Use EMMA.
Thanks! I'll update with details
Edit: Amazing mate! This worked! My camera is back!
So many many many thanks
Just came here to say thanks. Spend few hours trying to install drivers when I actually mistook flash mode with fastboot mode lol
