[HOW TO] Root 10.4.1.B.0.101 (Android 4.3) [ONLY UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER]

[MMX35]

Hello Guys,
I want to explain how to root your Sony Xperia Z with version 10.4.1.B.0.101.

What you need;
-Computer (with Windows)
-Sony Xperia Z (with unlocked bootloader)
-SuperSU (Download)
-Custom Recovery (Click Here(it's by DooMLoRD))
-Fastboot (Download)

Preparation:
1. Download all files.
2. Extract the "Fastboot.zip".
3. Extract the "boot.img" from the "Recovery.zip" in the fastboot folder.
4. Copy the SuperSU.zip to your device.
5. Shutdown your Sony Xperia Z.

Instructions:
1. Flash the "boot.img" using fastboot. (Open cmd and type in "fastboot flash boot boot.img")
2. Hold the volume button up (at you Sony Xperia Z) and plugin the USB into the device and to your Computer.
3. The operation will start automatically.
4. Reboot from fastboot. (Type in "fastboot reboot")
5. When the phone vibrates while it boot hold the volume button up to enter the recovery.
6. Flash the SuperSU.zip with the Custom Recovery.
7. Reboot to system.
7. Finished.

IF SOMETHING DOESN'T WORK, PLEASE WRITE ME!!!! BACK UP YOUR TA WITH "Backup TA"!!!!!!

Thanks for your attention,
MMX35.

I think so, but i can't guarantee it, sorry.

ok, b'cos i have a TA-Backup on my phone from firmware .67. Would be nice to lock the bootloader and still keep the root, but maybe this will mess up the recovery, I have no idea :S

Yes, but make sure you flash back the stock kernel, as you will relock the bootloader when you restore your TA and soft brick your phone if it's still on the advanced stock kernel.

ahh, so i should make a only kernel ftf of my own 569 firmware and flash only kernel before i restore my TA-backup. But, do i loose root if i flash my own kernel only of 569?

 

[CiscoX]

Ok i unlocked my bootloader and rooted my device this way written by OP. No problem, i got root

Then i made my own Only kernel from my orginal ftf and flash it to remove DooMLoaRD's kernel we used here and it worked i still have root.

Proof:

And now i'm gonna relock my bootloader using my TA-Backup, crossing fingers and everything else.

EDIT:

 

[CiscoX]

YES YES Got ROOT and with "Locked Bootloader"

Thank you very much MMX35, DooMLoaRD, kingvortex and DevShaft

So after I officially unlock bootloader via flashtool, I followed this rooting procedure (Thanks btw), can I just relock bootloader using flashtool again without losing root? Thanks!

You must flash a stock kernel or you will soft brick your phone when you relock the bootloader.
