Marshmallow or Lolipop ... And in both case I ´ll need downgrade for 201 to install loli or marsh? Thankfull for help me up.

Marshmallow is not fully working right now. So use lollipop for now.
When you have unlocked your BL just flash recovery and flash zip with ROM of your choice.

you dont need to root cm 12.1(5.1.1)... just go to developer options and there you'll find the root option which you can set...

downgrade to older firmware, root using this method, then upgrade back to latest firmware following the guide on how to upgrade and keep root.
Just search for it in the general section

No, downgrade to .305 (I thinbk it was for TX) root that.
Install cmw for locked bootloader.
Upgrade to a rooted FW of your choice in cmw and before rebooting flash the cmw .zip

you do not need to unlock your bootloader for this.
Just root, install recovery, flash a deodexed rom and flash the MOD.
Find instructions on how to do this in the second post of the first thread in the Q&A section

Are you rooted?
If not then root your phone. If you are, then ask in that thread, because you are not installing it properly, it works fine for others.

ROOT for 4.3?

Any root available for 4.3 that does not involve downgrade of firmware?
Like the 360 root or Vroot that i just "plug and play"
You will he aware when root is available but at the moment nothing along them lines for 4.3 is been done/confirmed working
Sent from my C6903 using Tapatalk
Think unlock recovery, install custom cwm, flash latest supersu should work though
also possibl when OTA updates starts popping up mybe updating OTA might keep root from .257 if you had it rooted...
but no one tried it yet, i'm waiting for OTA personally.
i tried with kingo... but a message say that want install mtk camera, maybe is the exploit for root.. but i stop the installation
lol... the new firmware has not even been out for a full day and people are already asking for various things... let the devs play with it a little.. geez....
What I know will be released soon a rooted firmware .290 Android 4.3. So stay tuned, when come out just update and done.
I've created rom for recovery with root and recovery, root works, but root file managers can't mount system for write but titanium works fine
Fully Rooted Firmware with Android 4.3 was released today!

No, it's not the root method as well. It's just a 4.3 zip and we flash it into the 4.2 (.257) kernel

I know is not a Root method. Devs do not do miracles but if you want 4.3 rooted this is the way.

That does not give full root, mounting system is still a problem that we are working on.

If you want to install vanilla android you have to unlock your bootloader. I suggest you to use the search function and read all the threads about what that means.

I assume you don't have one installed. You wrote that your bootloader is unlocked. You can flash a custom recovery via flashtool or command prompt. Make sure you're taking one for xperia z. Otherwise you will hardbrick your phone.

Use the search function. There are some threads about it. If you want to use an app your phone has to be rooted. Though you want to be careful with those apps. Usually using flashtool is the better and safer way. Use toweleoot.apk to root your phone.
What's going on in there?
