Hello,
I have found methods for rooting Sony Xperia SP 12.0.A.2.254 for C5302/303. Yet, I couldn't find a method for rooting C5306.
I have searched the forum thoroughly, but maybe I missed a thread.
Are there any methods for rooting Sony Xperia SP 12.0.A.2.254 C5306?
If there are no such methods, is it possible to downgrade to a lower version such as 12.0.A.1.257 and root from there? If so, please write how to do that or provide a link to a guide.
Thank you

You can't.

no,
1. wait for the devs to do it
2. do it yourself
3. do the current instructions for rooting .253
I go for either 1 or 3

Wow. Bump a 2 week old topic just to give the wrong answer! LOL.
If the OP is still looking for an answer to this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2327472
That should work. There's at least one person in the thread confirming that it works on 253.

Flash 534, root, install CWM or TWRP, then flash pre-rooted stock 257 firmware.

It's out there somewhere, but I don't remember where and I don't have time to find it. Use the search feature and do some reading and I'm sure you'll find it. Especially check the thread dedicated to 257 firmware

Flash "C6903 14.1.G.1.534 Generic DK 1276-1249_R5A" from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2469191
then root with kingo , then make supersu update & system app (2 restarts required)
then go to Sony update and update OTA.
You will have latest version 14.1.G.2.257 ( it is stock Euro - no bloat) with root.

use this method.
I have a question too. I have a C6902, can I flash C6903 into my device?

No, it might brick your phone.
My device is C6902, and now I'm using .257 firmware. If I using flashtool to flash .534 but not wipe data, does it cause brick my phone?

No, it will not brick your phone if you choose not to wipe data. But make sure you're flashing a C6902 534 firmware.

as the post above says.
However, that is perfectly safe to unlock your bootloader (Infact it is the only way to do it)
However, you will lose warranty.
On the plus side you can install a custom kernel to gain automatic root (Without the need to go through any other rooting methods) and install ALL custom roms.
root
if you want root xperia tx use tool DooMLoRD_Easy-Rooting-Toolkit_v18_perf-event-exploit
Hi guys im a newbie here i just got a z1 c6903 running on 14.3.A.0.757 with locked bootloader and it says it cant be unlocked
I need help to root it and the steps if possible #
Thanks in advance
Downgrade using Flashtool v0.9.16 to FW.534, Install DualRecovery from PC, Upgrade to Pre-Rooted .757 and follow the instruction which you will find on the thread by NUT. Done, now you are Rooted.

You have to downgrade to other firmware version and root that. Then you can update to newer firmware without losing the root. There are many tutorials for downgrade+ root on the web. Its very easy don't worry, just do step by step.

That's what you need:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2572988
Edit: At the begin of the thread you can download the DualRecovery. Its easy to install because it has an installer. Just open it and follow its instructions and then connect your phone. After installing the recovery proceed with the steps in the guide.
Tell me if you need more help.
