Hello Everyone Yesterday we got the FTF file for the official Xperia M 4.3 Update, But we were disappointed that none of the root methods worked on our device so I have Made this guide to root Xperia M successfully.
Requirements:
1.Download the Zip from this link http://download.chainfire.eu/396/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.94.zip
2.Download The kernel with CWM from this link https://mega.co.nz/#!1pYHFLxQ!9vPbrrIn8LwHnlXZCjWplLCdRwfTgHKSfH-D8sWeqQg
3.Unlocked Bootloader.
4.Pc with flash tool installed.
Steps:
1.First turn on your pc then start flashtool then turn off your phone, start the phone in fastboot mode by holding the volume up button and then attaching the usb cable to it, then click on the thunder icon then select fastboot and click ok.select the flash a kernel option, select file extension as .img from the dropdown menu then select the 4.3-boot.img that you have downloaded and click open.
2.Boot up your phone normally.Then move the UPDATE-ROOT-4.3 that you have downloaded to your External SD card as the recovery is not detecting the Internal storage.
3.Power off your phone then boot into recovery mode mount system and data then flash the UPDATE-SuperSu-1.94.zip and reboot to system.Now you have successfully rooted your device.

Please, make an option to root with locked bootloader, mine says that's not allowed to unlock it Without root I'm like without hand...
Why apps don't ask for superSU permissions?
can not download kernel... downloading from site has been temp. disabled.
Even with unlocked bootloader, I can't use Link2SD ... Sony is what a pain in the ..ss
Mount2Folder is working ...
Can anyone host the boot.img onto a different site? Dropbox has temporarily disabled the link..

Anybody willing to try a flashable zip file on locked bootloader using flash gordon app? It's a stock kernel using andro-SYR method of flashing kernel via recovery but on locked bootloader I'm a little reluctant at the minute as this is my only device. I need someone with more confidence than me and not afraid to reflash stock firmware if it fails also I don't know if it would be possible to do it with the system running. Pm me if you want to try for me or any info you have that might be really helpful. I know your meant to have unlocked bootloader for custom kernels but testing is required

Bro I flashed it and during the flashing no system apps or nothing crashed and I was like its going to work and it said reboot required so I rebooted the phone but powered off but didn't power back on so I took the battery out and tried to power it on it just vibrates but doesn't power on.I guess its bricked or half-bricked. I'm flashing stock firmware again.
UPDATE:it's not bricked after flashing firmware again it turns on:good:
After testing the result is this doesn't work.
Thanks for trying mate just a shame it didn't boot maybe needs tweaking or something

I really doubt it will ever work with Flash Gordon.... It already bricked my device twice so I wouldn't rely on it to flash something like a kernel and the dev said it won't work for roms.

Currently there is no way to root with locked bootloader. You need recovery to root at the moment and the only way to get one is to flash a kernel with recovery embedded in it, which requires an unlocked bootloader.

I'm on mobile currently so I could not see that. But that shouldn't be possible, all exploits (what we know of) are patched on 4.3 so the only way to get root would be to push files through recovery, requiring an unlocked bootloader currently.
I asked doomlord yesterday about if there were any exploits or tools and he said "No exploit currently works".

I did a TA backup in 4.2.2 with root then I unlocked the bootloader to root 4.3 through recovery and after that I relocked the bootloader with the TA backup I got earlier. And again, just search, if you had searched before opening a new thread you would have already found your answer

u want it for rooting or for custom recovery? if u want to root,
unlock bootloader.
flash 10.4.1.B.0.101 advanced stock kernel or any other kernel which has custom recovery preferably CWM.
flash the supersu zip in CWM recovery.
turn off the phone in CWM itself.
then flash back the .230 kernel

The blindness is strong in this one. Was just so used to StockByNUT and flashing the kernel through .ftf that it surprised me to only have a zip
How i did:
1) Flashed .133
2) Flashed Deodex
3) Flashed Debloat
4) Flashed Honami kernel
5) Cleaned cache + dalvic
Everything working but i get notification, that there is update .133 and i get it if i connect my phone with computer.
How to lose it?
Can i flash this straight from ihackers 4.1?
Hey!
Unfortunately I can't install Xposed framework on this. I get "mount: permission denied". It work on .108
Also, I can't delete any system app with Titanium Backup. This worked on .108 as well.
Is there something wrong with mounting the system partition?
