There's this thread of firmwares:

But I don't know how to tell one from another. My country isn't actually in this list and I bought the unlocked international version from Sony.

I downloaded it OTA, but don't know where it's stored to make ftf. didn't install yet, afraid to lose the root.waiting for your new rom. good luck.
OTA updates usually come as ZIP files suitable for the phone's bootloader/recovery programs (and more often than not these updates only include patches, not the complete partition images). They aren't formatted like the updates downloaded via SUS or PCC and as such they might not be usable for FTF generation.

Hi, if you want to create a ftf file for the Xperia T Bell mobile version. Just follow this wonderful guide http://mytechencounters.wordpress.com/2012/06/12/how-to-create-an-ftf-file-of-your-xperia-ics-firmware/
Btw, your phone won't be wiped or reset when you follow this guide. Make sure you unplug your phone when it starts downloading the firmware. You will know what I am talking about once you read this guide. Thanks again :good::laugh:
hope someone uploads a rogers ftf, or even the blob file.

Does flashing firmwares void warranty? Also does it have any effect on lets say the emic or flash storage on the phone? And lastly, isn't that 14.1.G.534 a prototype/journalist firmware?

From the OP of that thread -
Z 10.4.B.0.569 couldn't be rooted with both exploit, so this root tools cannot be used with newer devices/firmwares than Z1 .257.

No, it does not work. Tried already and can confirm it's failure.
Is there any way to do so without unlocking the bootloader?

[Q] Xperia z1 14.3.A.0.757 Vroot

Hi guys,
I have a xperia z1 running 4.4.2 14.3.A.757 and i was wondering if i could use Vroot running 4.4.2 to root my z1 or do i have to downgrade to 4.2.2 the open Vroot and start the root process.
also i was wondering if i could open root with many android and root with 4.4.2 rather than 4.2.2.
Have been trying to follow Shem's video on youtube, the root with may android binary method when i open the runme.bat file it says out of date?
Or is there a way when i can root using 4.4.2 without
-unlocking the bootloader
-downgrading
-loosing all user data.
Im a noob to all the root stuff haha!
thanks brandon

PS, Don't worry about posting your QUESTION in the wrong section. I provided an ANSWER anyway, and asked the mods to move it to the QUESTION and ANSWER section on your behalf.
To be honest I haven't a clue! Haha, I followed shems video on YouTube to root with binary method and when it got to flashable zip on the sd card twrp didn't seem to recognise the zip so I have to start the phone up with no os.. Flashed stock rom with flashtool. Tried to root the other day with the root many android and opened the install.bat file and it said it can't run supersu because my phone was out of date?

There is absolutely no need to root the phone using bin4ry, root many android, kingo or any other method. Shems videos are overkill (IMHO) and have unnecessary steps
