Are you sure. You seem a bit new to this, so I suggest using the files that are already uploaded in the development section rather than making one yourself
@[NUT] does have guide to (D)o (I)t (Y)ourself (Google NUTs DIY guide) but for new users I suggest just following the instructions in the OP until you have read some more

Hey pathanraj,
I rooted my Xperia Z1 today from 4.2.2 .257 to .757 .
Thanks to [NUT] that made it possible and easy, i suggest:
-Using his latest xzdr dual recovery found here
-Upgrading from .257 to android 4.3 .290 using his tutorial here
-Upgrading from .290 to android 4.4 .681 using his tutorial here
-And last, Upgrade from .681 to .757 using his tutorial here

So here is the procedure: Have root first of all, install recovery and then upgrade from .257 --> .290 --> .681 --> .757
You can do all this using the tuts from [NUT] , that i posted above. :)

Be sure to have a FULL root installed into system on your 4.2.2 JB .257
If you don't understand something, just ask for more info, It would be a pleasure to help a fellow member of xda-developers.com . :D

That is so much overkill
Flash 534 FW, install dual recovery, flash the latest prerooted rom. Done

Soooo true! as alway keep faith in gregbradley!
Just flash the .534fw , install XZDualRecovery, flash the .757fw by [NUT]
No need to flash every fw version between the 534 and the 757!

But my apps, settings etc are away after flash, right? I prefer an update to save my phones settings and installed apps.

make a backup then... and restore it afterwards

But if you actually read the instructions and the thread (Instead of asking questions) you will see that you will keep all you apps and settings if you follow the instructions

After I was refused a fix or replacement for this broken phone (mainly the touchscreen issue), I think it is time to root. Thank you, gregbradley, for providing useful information. These forums are helpful, unlike Sony themselves, retailers, or organizations for customer protection. Thank god at least somebody cares.

I agree with you. Sorry, I just came from Samsung Galaxy S2. It´s a little easier to root&update ;)
