How to root xperia m c1904 running Android 4.3
You have to flash 4.1 cwm kernel and flash the root zip file then flash back to 4.3 kernel, which can be found in its respective thread (if you search) also you have to have unlocked bootloader to do it

I'd just like to add something to what @dunc4n88 said. I messaged doomlord earlier and he has replied saying that no exploits work on 4.3.

Sony have patched them all so looks like any way of rooting is by injecting it in manually, I have an idea that I'm thinking about for rooting but not mentioning anything yet as might be a complete fail

Hi everyone,
I am new to flashing and rooting. I have rooted my Xperia S using bin4ry method (locked bootloader). I found CWM for locked bootloaders which use a .bat file to flash CWM.
I always get a bootloop by using that CWM. I got bootloop once, then I restored using flashtool. I gave a second try and I got bootloop again!!!! I got extremely annoyed. I was trying to install a flashable zip mod of Xperia T small apps.
I have wiped dalvik cache before every time I flashed. No luck.
Can anybody help me out?
Maybe the mod isn't for your system Version?

I m running 6.1.a.2.50. Where is it possible to get a bugless CWM?

I don't know. CWM for locked bootloader hasn't been updated for a good time.

How do other people with locked bootloader use CWM?

Don't worry, framework-res was the problem, not cwm.

Check the stickies. Flash twrp through Odin, then flash root or pre-rooted rom through twrp.

That has everything you need to gain root. What you do from there is up to you. I've personally used it on both the ICS and JB stock images. Worked perfectly.
Search before you make a new thread next time though. Took me all of 15 seconds to find that when I first got on here.
I flashed from recovery a zip, install from sdcard. It does not work, so how can I remove it from my phone?
SONY XPERIA S rooted unlocked bootloader JB .211
If flashing through CWM failed or not working,nothing is applied to your phone,as far as I remember...

^^^ Answer.
You should have read the warning in configuration screen: THIS CAN'T BE UNDONE.
flash a backup
always backup before flashing anything
I've flashed again the ROM
So I'm stock rooted if I flash 4.3 ROM well can I still go back to 4.2.2 and do I need to flash mk2 modem?

As long as you DON'T update the bootloader to 4.3 you can go back to 4.2. Just flash with recovery. You'll need to update the modem to mk2.

I actually just did mine too a few days ago.
Since you're already rooted, and you havent updated to 4.3, go to this link,

Flash the modem onto your phone.
After you've installed it, you can flash any rom you want from 4.2 to 4.3 and 4.4.
Its as simple as that. I had a hard time figuring out what I had to do, but all you need to do is root, install that modem, and then you can flash all you want.
No good

Yes.
You can easily flash stock rom with flashtool.
Is stock ROM the .ftf file?

Yes.
You may even take a backup in CWM before flashing CM 11 and then restore it so no need to flash through flash tool
Does the backup store in the SD card?

Half yes. Half no.
If you take cwm backup then you can simply restore it back to get your settings and apps back. Then if you want stock kernel flash kernel only through flash tool. So you have a stock ROM along with your saved settings.
When you want complete stock same as when You first started it then you need to Flash full stock ROM, wipe data and cache and relock bootloader.
