Root for 14.3.A.0.757?
Hi,
Am quite new to the sony xperia device and if this is the wrong place to post this question, kindly ignore..
I have a Sony Xperia z1 Compact (D5503) device running 14.3.A.0.757 (latest sony update using PC Companion). This device has not been unlocked and has not been rooted at all.
My question - is there any way to root this phone at the current level i.e. 14.3.A.0.757 (with or without downgrading) without unlocking the bootloader?
Thanks for any support in advance.

If your BL is locked then you'll need to downgrade using the guide in the general section.
