You should ask in the correct forum for your device -

Good luck.

You're in the wrong forum. There is a Xperia SP forum, search for it and ask there.
Generally download Flashtool and a .ftf file of a stock rom and flash it via flashtool

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.

Dowgrade Xperia ZR from 4.4.4 to 4.3
I updated my Xperia ZR (C5502) to KitKat 4.4.4 using PC Companion and the entire phone touch screen has gone crazy, I have tried to reset the phone but still the same issue persists. I took it to Customer service to get it downgraded to Jelly bean which they denied. So I ask for your help. . . . . I just want my phone back to jelly bean, dont want root or any additional features. Just my Xperia C5502 back to its original self.
I have gone through a lot of posts in this forum and all of them talk of flashing with an old firmware and then rooting and then flashing with new firmware with "System" unchecked in Sony Flash tool. So please suggest the necessary steps to change the firmware from 4.4.4 to Jelly bean 4.3
Please help at the earliest. . . . . stranded with a crazy phone that has a mind of its own right now!!!!!!
