Hello, I understand kind of how to do it but I need clarification.

Ok so my current fw is the latest. 757 firmware. But how do I go about rooting.

Should i downgrade from my kitkat to. 584 and then root and then upgrade directly to NUTS already rooted. 757 fw

Or am I safe to not downgrade and just flash nuts rooted fw straight off?

Sorry if this is noobish but im new to this.

Any help greatly appreciated :)

1) flash a FTF ending in 534 (Find the files and instructions int he mega collection thread in the general section)
2) Install Dual Recovery (Find the files in the dual recovery thread in the cross device development section)
3) Install the 757 pre rooted ROM of your choice (Find the files and instructions in the development section)

I just did this yesterday successfully.

Downgraded to .534 using NUT's C6903_14.1.G.1.534_NUT.ftf
Rooted using binary method via PC
Installed XZDualRecovery 2.7.115 BETA via PC
Wiped Dalvik cache, System, Cache, Data, Internal Storage
Factory reset
Flashed NUT's C6903_14.3.A.0.757.flashable.zip
Shutdown the phone
Flashed NUT's C6903_14.3.A.0.757_Stripped.ftf
Restart phone

If you want to see a video on how its done check out shem's video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1aq9YTlfCgc&feature=youtu.be

Hope it helps.

Downgraded to .534 using NUT's C6903_14.1.G.1.534_NUT.ftf <= just flash the official stock 534FW
Rooted using binary method via PC => <= useless, XZDualrecorvery root the phone
Installed XZDualRecovery 2.7.115 BETA via PC
Wiped Dalvik cache, System, Cache, Data, Internal Storage <= useless
Factory reset <= useless
Flashed NUT's C6903_14.3.A.0.757.flashable.zip with XZdualrecovery
Shutdown the phone
Flashed NUT's C6903_14.3.A.0.757_Stripped.ftf with Flashtool

Rooted using binary method via PC => <= useless, XZDualrecorvery root the phone <= It's your opinion, I prefer use Bin4ry method first.
Installed XZDualRecovery 2.7.115 BETA via PC
Wiped Dalvik cache, System, Cache, Data, Internal Storage <= useless <= Not really, it can help to avoid further issues. Clean Installation.
Factory reset <= useless <=True, if you Wiped everything before, this is really Useless.
Flashed NUT's C6903_14.3.A.0.757.flashable.zip with XZdualrecovery <= True.
Shutdown the phone
Flashed NUT's C6903_14.3.A.0.757_Stripped.ftf with Flashtool <= True.
Restart phone

Flashing a stock 534fw wont make you loose your IMEI, i've downgraded a ton of time and never had this issue.
If you prefer the binary method for rooting i'm ok with that, but still kinda useless because you need the XZDualRecovery and it will root the phone if necessary.
For the clean installation that's useless, you already flashed a full 534fw, that have already removed all that needed to be.

Ok I have solved this.

I flashed. 534 fw, installed recovery then upgraded to nuts pre-rooted. 757 fw,

I didnt bother rooting the. 534 fw as upgrading to nuts did it for me.

Thanks everyone
