I have just rooted my Z1C with the following guide.
With root i have done backup of DRM keys, and all it's ok!
But I have some questions:
1- My phone is unbranded Italian. Before I had the LTE icon, now I have 4G icon. Before the Sony PC Companion found me the update to 4.4.2, but not now. How can I put an Italian firmware through Sony PC Companion?
2- Im trying to follow this guide for download any firmware from Sony and create my .ftf with Flashtool, but where I found the Italian region code for Z1 Compact?
3- If i do a factory reset i will loose root?
4- With unlocked bootloader all firmware are rootable. How?
Thanks
2. The code should be on the original box
3. No
4. Yes, with a custom kernel (like this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2620794 )

Hi, today I tried to update my Xperia S to 6.2.b.0.211 using this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2302631
But I got a brick which put my phone on a bootloop like the sony logo wouldn't disappear. So I used PC Companion to repair it and now I'm at 6.2.b.0.200 without root.
What I'm asking: Is there any way to root/flash a pre-rooted rom or whatever to have my phone rooted?
Thanks in advance.

Hello guys, u dont need pre-rooted rom or use the old .200 rom anymore
just get the .211 stock rom and u can root it!!
Seems the .211 rom is not available in many country, including Hong Kong (where i'm from)
u can just flash the .211 rom with the ftf file with flash tool in your XS
u may download it here : http://goo.im/devs/DooMLoRD/xperia_s/LT26i_6.2.B.0.211.ftf
u can flash it in without wiping data or cache (while the pre-rooted rom will wipe data)
then root it with doomlord easy rooting kit : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2327473
hope it helps

Here is very easy and wonderful way !
1. Unlock the bootloader ! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1560613&nocache=1
2. Download flashtool and install it. http://androxyde.github.io/
3. Download doomkernel and SuperSU-1.25-Busybox-1.20.2-UPDATE.zip - 1.43 MB http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2305591
4. Now flash the doomkernel via flashtool and restart the phone. Now when you see cool doomlord logo, pressing at 'volume +' you will get CWM recovery and pressing at camera button you will get TWRP recovery. choose any one of them and flash this 'SuperSU-1.25-Busybox-1.20.2-UPDATE.zip - 1.43 MB'
ALL THE BEST !

I'm not sure if it's region free but i can instal in on my Hong Kong version Xperia S so i believe it can be installed on yours
i believes most languages are here too
but there's only xperia international keyboard by default
seems other keyboard can still e added in setting
but the Xperia Chinese keyboard is missing and i have to flash it myself
if u dont like this version, u may look for another ftf file

i dont think unlocking the bootloader is required as it is a stock rom
btw, doing this will make u lose your bravia engine
u can root official . 200 FW. Your device must be UL, flash with fastboot doomkernel v5 and then you have CWM and root.

All the credits for DooMLoRD, I just adapted your tutorial for C6503.
Original Post
I just tested it with Brazilian C6503.
Probably works with other models
How to:
Download the two files from the download section below, and DooMLoRD_Easy-Rooting-Toolkit_v18_perf-event-exploit.zip in Original Post.
Open FlashTool and flash the C6503_10.3.A.0.423_MEA.ftf file, this is JUST the kernel of an older firmware which was rootable.
Now once flashing is done reboot device and connect to PC in usb debuggin mode.
CLOSE FLASHTOOL
Extract the file DooMLoRD_Easy-Rooting-Toolkit_v18_perf-event-exploit.zip (Downloaded in Original Post) to root directory on c:\
Execute runme_ file corresponding to your OS on desktop PC, this will execute a SPECIAL version of DooMLoRD easy rooting toolkit.
The above step is crucial! if you use any older version of the toolkit then IT WILL NOT WORK!
After rooting is over the device will restart.
You can verify if device is rooted by checking for SuperSU app (it is the newest version).
Once thats done now power down device and open FlashTool again.
Now flash C6503_10.3.1.A.0.244_DE.ftf file to get back to the true kernel for the firmware.
Thats it after flashing is done just disconnect and power on device and enjoy rooted phone!

The other method just flash full .423 firmware then used v18 rootkit to root the device then install .244over the air (OTA) which I tested and worked.

No, for stock firmware you can just use this (easier) method

If what you want is to have full 10.3.1.A.244 stock, then NO, if you follow step 11 you are only flashing new kernel; you need the whole FTF package, to update to new version.
I am uploading just that as we speak; but for C6502. However, it should work fine with C6503 too (someone correct me if I'm wrong).
Actually I've been using a modded C6506 firmware for some days, and it was fine.
What recovery are you using? Link?
Wrked like a charm, thanks a lot mate. :highfive:

Guys just sharing how I updated my ZL to the latest KK 4.4.2 and ROOT, in case someone is interested. Total time it took me around 2hrs using 10MB connection.
1. Downgrade to 4.2 Nordic version. Optional if youre 4.3 is already in Nordic.
2. Relock bootloader.
3. Use SUS to download and install the 4.4.2 update.
4. Decrypt and create your own FTF from the files downloaded by SUS.
5. Unlock bootloader.
6. Flash CM11 KK boot.img using fastboot.
7. Boot to CWM, flash supersu update zip to root the phone
8. Relfash STOCK Sony Kernel using the FTF created in step4.
9. Enjoy ROOT access.
10. Optional - relock bootloader.
Disclaimer - by following the steps, your warranty is VOID now. BUT you get to have the latest version of Android, ROOT and customization for your phone. I have made necessary backups to restore everything to STOCK, including DRM keys in case I need to go for warranty.
Edit - i'll update later with download links for flashtool, SUS, CM11 bootimg, chainfire supersu update
Additional screenie for fastboot commands -
2 questions, I'd love to do this, but...
1. Where can I find this nordic version? Is this an ftf somewhere?
2. How do you relock the bootloader? Is there something available? I can't seem to find it...
where i can find this supersu update zip? it comes with KK CM11?

Thank you
i have sony z1 compact
now i update lollipop 5.0.2
plzzz help me how to root
Go back to Kitkat, get root and wait for a rooted Kernel or usable Backdoor in Lollipop.
Or open Bootloader, but also go back to KK, and wait for a custom Kernel or a Backdoor.
Gesendet von meinem D5503 mit Tapatalk
Step-by-step to get Z1c with rooted Lolipop (for booth Locked BootLoader and Unlocked BootLoader). You can skip step 1 and 2 if already have custom recovery installed:
1. Go back to KitKat (108 is recommended because it can be rooted directly)
2. Root and install custom recovery (Philz Touch is recommended because I have boot loop with TWRP)
3. Download flashable zip Pre-Rooted Lolipop firmware (or create one yourself) and copy it to SD card
4. Go to recovery and wipe your device (wipe for clean installation is recommended). Do not restart your device
5. Install flashable zip PRF from SD card
5. Using FlashTool and TFT rom file (same version with flashable zip) to flash your device again EXCLUDE SYSTEM
Enjoy rooted Lolipop
