Hi all,
Im new here, so if i am wrong please correct me.
I have a C6903 Z1:
- firmware 14.1.G.1.534 SG
- rooted using vroot (i can install titanium backup, supersu, and it said rooted)
- backed up TA partition
- now i want to update to 14.2.A.0.290 SG
- i already read the update method by NUT
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2572988
seems it is the only good working method now
BUT, i have a question regards the "requirements"
Current rooted FW version: 14.1.G.1.534 and 14.1.G.2.257

So, do i need to update to .257 and root it before process NUT method ? ... or just process NUT method directly ...?
Sorry for posting here instead of the Original thread but i dont have permission to post there.
Any help is well appreciated. Thanks!

You can just proceed with [NUT]'s method. Now that you have root install recovery and the do the rest of the steps.
If you need help refer to my updated video:

Thanks for your advice
I just processed exactly as NUT guide and had the 4.3 c6903 14.2.A.0.290 rooted :good:
Just a question:
- as NUT guide, last step is flash the ...stripped.ftf
- as your video, i did not see you flash the stripped.ftf. Instead, you flash the original generic 14.2.A.0.290 ?
what is the different? If i flash again the original 14.2.A.0.290 like yours. will it loose root ?
Have a great day!

In my video it is the stripped version as well. It shows up as normal in Flashtool for some reason. My video is 100% based on [NUT] method

There are millions of tutorials here...
You have to downgrade to 534 firmware, root it and flash NUT ROM and stripped ftf (or any other stock based ROM)
Latest firmwares can't be rooted directly, that's wht you have to be on "current rooted" firmware

Any FTF ending in 534 for your phone model will be ok
I recently received Xperia Z Android 4.4.4(10.5.1.A.0.283) update.
previously I had 4.4.2(10.5.1.A.0.230) rooted using #towelroot.
My question is, Do I need to root my phone after 4.4.4(10.5.1.A.0.283) update ???
If so, Can I still use #towelroot for root it again ?
currently, there is no

CVE-2014-3153 (towelroot exploit) is patched in Sony kernel source and doesn't work any more.
To root, you need to flash a 230 kernel with Flashtool, root then flash back the 283 kernel.

Guys! Try this (read it some where)
1. Flash 4.4.4 tft
2. install supersu, and towelroot then
3. flash only 4.4.2 kernel (don't tick anything in wipe, in exclude list tick everything except kernel).
4.It will boot, then root with towelroot, give it a reboot.
5. u're rooted.
6. Now flash only 4.4.4 kernel back

Towelroot does not help,
It can't root xperia z with 4.4.4, "This phone isn't currently supported" error
Any other way to root this ???

Yes read before posting.
I and someone else already posted what you have to do.
1. Flash 230 kernel only with Flashtool.
2. Root with towelroot or Easy Root.
3. Flash back kernel from 283 with Flashtool.
Done.

That is for unlocked bootloader @Spock0785
Some cant unlock it so they need to know howto for locked bl
And its also easier of some can post only the .230 kernel to root and also put the kernel of 4.4.4 to flash it back to keep root.

refer this for locked boot loader, it will give you kernels in FTF which can be flashed on locked bootloader.

Hi,
Today I have upgraded my "towelrooted" Xperia Z (C6603) from 10.5.1.A.0.230 to 10.5.1.A.0.283 and guess what? To my surprise, the root remained in place in my phone after this upgrade. This is contrary to all my previous experiences with upgrading firmwares in this phone. How did I do that? Nothing special. I have downloaded (OTA) the 10.5.1.A.0.283 firmware and then I let my phone upgrade itself. That's it.
I don't know if this is a region-specific anomaly but I have an unbranded phone purchased in Germany. I checked the details of this newest firmware in my phone and it is a German generic OTA version, exactly this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/general/stock-rom-xperia-z-c6603-10-5-1-0-283-t2876005 , so it's not some special build or something like that.
Until now, all firmware upgrades used to wipe out every single root I had but this upgrade didn't, luckily. Anyone here with the same experience?
Updating via OTA usually doesn't remove root as long as the OTA doesn't fail.
This is because an OTA doesn't format /system, rather it just replaces the necessary files.

Can I use latest version of flashtool or do I have to take flashtool-version 0.9.13?
(because in the flashtool-thread it says: "WARNING : Since Xperia Z, sony added a new set of files I called bootbundle. Those files can be bundled from 0.9.13 and can be flashed from 0.9.13 only. To all those flashing devices from Z edition to all after Z, it is highly advised to use 0.9.13 and to be sure FTF you flash contain the bootbundle set. I've been reported of hard bricks because of missing such set of files from bundles.)

Use the latest version. That statement means all versions of Flashtool including and after 0.9.13.
Since I wrote that post, I wrote a guide on rooting 10.5.1.A.0.283. Find it here.

It is extremely wise to search before posting. Please go to this link to accomplish your objective as stated in the OP.
I try to find but still get any link to download. Any one has this stock rom pls share me.
Thank you so much.
You could use XperiFirm to download the official firmwares: http://forum.xda-developers.com/cro...xperifirm-xperia-firmware-downloader-t2834142
If you want to flash your phone you can use Flashtool for this, a guide on how to do this step by step can be found here (haven't tested it though, but I used a similar method in the past): http://www.xperiablog.net/2016/03/12/install-xperia-marshmallow-using-flashtool-and-xperifirm-guide/
There's no firmware for Z4v E6508 avalable in Sony server because they already canceled this phone.
anyway, how do you get it?
