Man phone manufacturers must be stupid. Why make it harder for us to root the phones?
It is stupid. Sure keep the protection, not every user in the world have technical knowledge on computers. But they should keep an easy option in hand for developers, power users and advanced computer users to unlock and root their devices at will.He not doing that stupid since he want to protect you from thefts! For example he protect you from external apps which probably get root ring on your phone and perform some root commands (without your knownledge) to get your bank account, thats one of the possible scenarios but there is a lot of other possible bad things!
Damn it! I've been waiting for my firmware update to the latest 4.4.4 and i downloaded and set up newroot so its ready to go when I get my update and today I finally get my update and perform it and it's the 133 build! I come back on here to read how to root my phone to see the updated message saying it won't work on the 133 build! Just my luck.
Is there a nice easy root process for the 133 build? Cheers
Flash previous kernel of your firmware, root it, flash 133 firmware kernel and you have rooted 133 firmware.
Go here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2469191 and find your 108 or 118 firmware. If you are unfamiliar with Flashtool there are links to guides in that thread OP. Flash that 108 or 118 firmwares kernel by exluding everything else but kernel in Flashtool flash settings. Root that with Newroot or root method of your choice. Find ftf of you 133 firmware or make one yourself and flash that firmware kernel by excluding everything else but kernel in Flashtool settings.
Here also link to thread which OP has detailed instruction to get 133 rooted and dualrecovery installed: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2848466

Easy option for developer> Unlock bootloader
Because many people doesn't familiar with exploit, or hacking, Xperia need something to protect their user, because they all STUPID
If you want to be a power user, rooting isn't enough for you, you also need ROM + Kernel with many hack, like CM
OP, sorry for OT
=)
Easy huh? If so we wouldn't need to find exploits.
You think I'm an idiot? I know what a power user is.
I think you need to check out my previous posts. Thinking I don't even know about CyanogenMod, Please.... You are not a genius.
Yes, you should be a Google Team then
=)
I don't need to see your previous post, a developer will find a way to hack
-_______-
You just don't know how using a developers tool, even you know it
*yawn*
I don't see we need continue this conversation, I will ignore your next comment then
=)

I've found the firmware i want which is 14.1.G.1.534, which if im correct is jelly bean 4.2.2 i feel i dont need to root if i go back to this as i actually liked this firmware. will flashing to this erase my phone content or will it be just as it was but with the new firmware?
Also if i change my mind and follow as you have instructed here will that also erase my content? Cheers
In Flashtool just untick data option in wipe section and flashing firmware don't erase your phone content. Tough making backup before flashing is good practice if something go wrong.
I have sucessfull installed Newroot a while ago on my Xperia Z1 (C6903) 14.4.A.0.108 with stock ROM running KitKat 4.4.4. The problem is that i can not start in CWRM recoverymode anymore, when i reboot and the LED starting to blink and i push the volume down button the phone just vibrates and shows the SONY logo and nothing more happens, i have to push the on/off button two times to make the phone reboot. I have tried to push volume up button aswell when blue LED is blinking but i encounter the same problem. Anyone have any idea what the problem is? I have tried to unroot with Newroot and root it again, installed busybox and SuperSu from Chainfire, and tried with Superuser Clockworkmod aswell, same problem, cannot boot to recoverymode anymore. Help would be appreciated.
