Android 4.3 Root Method

antkalaitzakis96 · Feb 11, 2014

Since many users are updating their phones(finally) to 4.3 we need to find a way to root it..
For Unlocked Bootloaders you can flash advanced kernel and (wow!) you are rooted!
but what about Locked Bootloaders?

I think @DooMLoRD will find a way to root a phone with a locked bootloader!
We just have to wait for someone to release an exploit on this.
Be patient devs are working on it

well, since you don't know what a bootloader is, I am pretty sure you have a locked one..with an unlocked bootloader you can flash kernels and custom roms like cyanogenmod

Well my phone is not locked at any carrier, is unlocked that helps?

No it is not the same.... If your phone is band new then it will have a locked bootloader.

Unless you have done anything to it Sony phones come with it locked

Someone in the "release" thread said that he first unlocked the BL, flashed the advanced kernel, root, then relock the BL.

Edit2: this here method: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=50256189 ... but I think he had steps 1 & 2 in wrong order, because unlocking BL = deleting TA.

Why not try that method? It may work anyway as Sony tends to have the same vulnerability across devices with the same firmware

I'm not sure you can run 4.3 on a 4.1.2 kernel

You are correct...... I was only making an assumption but having read doomlords updated thread it will lead to bricked device.

Sure there will be a fix soon for root and recovery on locked bootloader.

Niaboc is releasing his new ROM soon this will have root..... after that just need recovery.

It's almost stock and rooted with unlockable bootloader too

If someone makes stock in update.zip format, you can use full stock rom with root.
