Hello Everyone Yesterday we got the FTF file for the official Xperia M 4.3 Update, But we were disappointed that none of the root methods worked on our device so I have Made this guide to root Xperia M successfully.

Requirements:
1.Download the Zip from this link http://download.chainfire.eu/396/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.94.zip
2.Download The kernel with CWM from this link https://mega.co.nz/#!1pYHFLxQ!9vPbrrIn8LwHnlXZCjWplLCdRwfTgHKSfH-D8sWeqQg
3.Unlocked Bootloader.
4.Pc with flash tool installed.

Steps:
1.First turn on your pc then start flashtool then turn off your phone, start the phone in fastboot mode by holding the volume up button and then attaching the usb cable to it, then click on the thunder icon then select fastboot and click ok.select the flash a kernel option, select file extension as .img from the dropdown menu then select the 4.3-boot.img that you have downloaded and click open.
2.Boot up your phone normally.Then move the UPDATE-ROOT-4.3 that you have downloaded to your External SD card as the recovery is not detecting the Internal storage.
3.Power off your phone then boot into recovery mode mount system and data then flash the UPDATE-SuperSu-1.94.zip and reboot to system.Now you have successfully rooted your device.

    Cwm on this kernel i took from cm kernel (cwm 6.0.4.7), i didn't compile it. I just make 4.3 kernel working with cmw for easily flashing, for rooting etc.
    Before it, we are flashing to 4.3 using methode back to 4.1.2 kernel just for cwm function, like flashing.
    For fix permission i dont test it, maybe cwm 6.0.4.5 can solved it. U can try remake kernel with cwm 6.0.4.5, use alvianhocum methode.
