From what I heard earlier is if you update via OTA then you will keep root. May cause issues without a full wipe so idk xD.

I assume 1 full reset before updating wouldn't bring any issues from the normal 423 to the new update. Just back up all your stuff with titanium backup.

Kk sounds good, I'll await a stable bug free firmware but I doubt that'd exist any time soon lol. I'd say CM 10.1 is the most stable bug free ROM I've encountered. Too bad its only for unlocked boot loaders

Welcome to Sony. Reboot your comp and if it still doesn't show up then god knows.

Have you got latest version of flashtool installed?
Not near my pc, but am sure theres the option to browse for the ftf file in flashtool? Just make sure source folder is pointed to the firmware folder your ftf is in and flash.

have you checked for rom hashes ?
see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2642081, it is in question section
"Flashtool does not recognize the firmwares, even though I put it into the correct folder?"

If the hash is wrong, you simply redownload the file.

[Q] Rooting Z1c

Hi All,
I recently got my Z1 Compact, Do I have to Unlock Bootloader to root? Because I already say Doomlord's method and I plan to keep my BL locked.
Is there any other way to root the latest 4.4 Firmware?
Thanks Alot!

My guide #5 at step 13 and 14 will help you how to root and flash custom recovery for 4.4.4(.108 FW).

I'd rather bump this thread instead of making a new one.
Will rooting via Lorenzoval link lose any data and/or unlock the bootloader? Any can rooted phone still receive and install official updates? Sorry, first time using a Sony phone, used to use Nexus. Thanks before.

You will not lose any data and your phone's bootloader will not be unlocked. You can install official updates but you will lose root.

I'm gonna use NUT'S recovery

Cant flash TWRP

Hey guys I'm kinda new to Android I've had a chappy phone and now an LG g pad after attempting root about a dozen times I finally managed to get it root now I am trying to get TWRP to backup the tablet and change the boot animation later but every time I tried on my pc it would fail so I installed flashify and tried with that I then I got a boot error saying security issues. The tablet stills boots but I believe the problem is the locked boot loader. Thanks for any help offered.

Have you installed root checker or another program to confirm that you do, in fact, have root? Start with that.
If you haven't installed a superuser app to handle permissions, I'd do that as well before trying to install TWRP.
I'll admit I had troubles installing TWRP as well, when looking at the forums, make sure you're downloading the version for your EXACT version of android and firmware, and following the instructions for the right version as well. Good luck!

Unable to flash device using FlashTool for Mac OS X

Hello,
I am attempting to flash my Sony Xperia M phone, to downgrade it from 4.3 to 4.1 (in order to install a custom ROM).
I have downloaded two versions of the 4.1 OS, but neither appear to work.
The problem is, the progress bar indicating how far along the Flashing process is, is stuck at one point forever.
As I understand, it should take only a matter of minutes, but I've left it going for hours at a time, but it never completes.
There seems to be something wrong with the software, or the OS I've downloaded, or the phone itself. I have no idea.
If you are able to suggest ways around this problem, that would be appreciated.
Here's a screenshot and a WebM of the Flashing process.

With the phone as it is, I am unable to unlock the bootloader. Only until I downgrade will I be able to unlock the bootloader.

As you can see here in the Service Menu, the Rooting Status displays that the Bootloader cannot' be unlocked.
I have read elsewhere online that previous versions of Android on Xperia M allow for this. This is why I wish to downgrade.

I see my friend, I'm afraid even if you upgrade you'll get a "no" but you can always try I hope I'm wrong, unfortunately I never faced this problem, I don't know how to help, sorry man , try using a newer version of flashtool or even older, I don't know how drivers work on Mac but try reinstalling them, whatever could help you..

Flashtool for OSX isn't working well . Fastboot is working , flashing is not working with me (OSX El CAptain)
I'm running flashtool on a Linux pc or on My Mac with virtual box and windows.

Has anybody found a solution to this problem?
I would like to contact the developer and report the issue, but can't find the info.
Is there an alternative way to flash Xperia phones on a Mac?
