First thing first, I'm a total newbie and English is not my native language. I'll try to explain my question as simple as possible.
A month ago, I bought an Xperia Z (C6603) and it had Android 4.2.2 (10.3.1.A.2.67) installed. I decided to root it by using:
DooMLoRD_Easy-Rooting-Toolkit_v18_perf-event-exploit
XperiaZ_C660X_KernelOnly_10.3.1.A.2.67.ftf
XperiaZ_C660X_KernelOnly_10.3.A.0.423_Generic_NL.ftf
These are the only 3 things that I use to root my device. I finally managed to root my device after lots of trial and error. So I don't know if I have CWM or unlocked Bootloader stuff after the root simply because I'm not an expert but one thing for sure, I've successfully root my device.
Recently, I noticed that there is Android 4.3 (10.4.B.0.569) update available for Xperia Z. Therefore, I really want to update my device from ROOTED Android 4.2.2 (10.3.1.A.2.67) to ROOTED Android 4.3 (10.4.B.0.569) but how?
I know that we have a lot of tutorials available on the forums and we got Google too but they are very confusing. So I hope someone could help me via this thread and I'll really appreciate it. Thanks!

Download flashtool
Download ftf file of. 157 kitkat for your phone's model
Install flashtool and drivers Google it also if you are using Windows 8 or higher some additional steps are required to install drivers
Switch off your phone
Once done open flash tool click on lightning icon select flashmode
Browse through your pc for downloaded ftf file select it and click on flash button
Now wait and once the dialogue box appears with phone's animation
Connect your phone along with pressing volume down button
Then once dialogue box disappears release volume button and let it do its thing
Then disconnect your phone and turn it on when flashtool says so in logs
Now you have kitkat..!!
I too, thinking of rolling back down to KK
Reason being battery drains faster, intense lagging in some apps, like what's app. Lag in games. Random reboots already more than my time in KK and it'd less than 2 weeks.

This works,but before you do it ,back up everything from phone!
Hello all,
Today I got fed up with my Xperia T's stock firmware so I decided to move everything to cyanogenmod 12. Installed the rom but now I guess the permissions are not fine, so later I found out it would have been a good idea to root my device prior to my upgrade. Now I cannot find a way to successfully root my phone, I even tried RootKing and two other similar applications. I was wondering what rooting method can I use via the upgrade (Recovery is Cyanogen's)?
Best,
shorto

I rooted my LT30p with kingoapp from kingoapp.com or kingoroot.com not sure
Only problem was play store not working, when i tried to solve it device keep restarting again and again not sure what i did wrong.
If you cab figure it out, you can try.
My problem is none of these work since my permission are apparently screwed up so badly I cannot even access my files since I do not have permission to them, nor can I install anything.
Try CyanogenMod 12.1 - Neo's Homebuilds in the Xperia T Original Android Development section.
And for the Gapps I would recommend OpenGapps.
I just got my nexus 6 and it came straight from Google (bought off Craigslist). I'm wanting to root it but I don't have a computer. Is there a way to root without a computer? I'm running marshmallow 6.0 build MRA58K. I see there's a lot of development for this phone. Is development going to continue pretty strong since the new nexus 6 came out??

You need an other device PC or Mac or Linux.
OK I wasn't sure if there was a one click method
There isn't a one click method for rooting Marshmallow, only for bricking it (temporarily).
Also how do you want to install any custom roms without a computer? At least you need to flash TWRP then you can download roms on your phone, but you need a computer to flash TWRP.
Furthermore, what if the new rom flashed its own recovery then bootloops? With a computer you can re-flash TWRP in a minute and fix this. Without a computer...
I don't want to criticize anybody's hobby, but this can be very expensive...
OK I understand that it was just a question thanks
kings root might work. if it works on marshmallow now. i cant think of any other one click root that might work. but marshmallow requires a custom kernel for root to work, so it might not work at all http://www.kingroot.net/
