How to create prerooted zip by yourself

Requirements:
7-Zip Command Line Version
cwm_prerooted_Z1.zip (template zip)
FTF to update

1. Put 7za.exe, ftf and template zip in same folder

2. Open command window by Shift + Right click -> "Open Command Window Here"

3. Type and run one by one:
Code:
7za e (name).ftf system.sin
7za e (name).ftf kernel.sin
This will extract two sin files from FTF.

4. Open Flashtool, then select tools -> Sin editor

5. Browse and select system.sin, then click "Extract data"

6. Browse and select kernel.sin, then click "Extract data"

7. In command window type and run:
Code:
7za a -tzip cwm_prerooted_Z1.zip system.ext4
7za a -tzip cwm_prerooted_Z1.zip kernel.elf
8. Done, you can now copy cwm_prerooted_Z1.zip to internal storage and install it with recovery.
You have to flash rpm.sin with Flashtool after installation.
Enter into flashmode and flash ftf
Wipe: Don't check
Exclude: Check all but uncheck kernel

Thanks @cubeundcube for rootkitXperia and @hagurekamome for template!

4.4 for SO-01F will be released after docomo starts selling Z2 (Maybe in May).

Replace OP's cwm_prerooted_Z1.zip with updated one:
https://mega.co.nz/#!y1IQVLxJ!fgV97jd8xCIPh5BMPy8mIgvJwc5UhmjRBvKNqib8e3o

1. - 4. is same as instruction for .681
If you already have rooted .681, you can skip 1. - 4. and go to 5.

5. Copy cwm_prerooted_Z1_119.zip to Z1's storage

6. Reboot and enter into recovery and install cwm_prerooted_Z1_119.zip

7. Power off after completed

8. Enter into flashmode and flash 14.1.H.2.119 ftf
Wipe: Check all (recommended, but you can uncheck all to save your data)
Exclude: Check all but uncheck kernel

9. Install XZDualRecovery

10. Done!

When I try to flash the Kernel on last step
"8. Enter into flashmode and flash 14.1.H.2.119 ftf
Wipe: Check all (recommended, but you can uncheck all to save your data)
Exclude: Check all but uncheck kernel"
I get an error and did not flash it. Mine is a C6903, all other steps go fine, the last one is the only one having problem.
Any help?
Thank you!
Edit:
Error:
03/047/2014 15:47:26 - INFO - Flashing data
03/047/2014 15:47:48 - ERROR - Processing of userdata.sin finished with errors.

docomo announced their presentation will be held on May 14 (in Japan).
https://www.nttdocomo.co.jp/product...x.html?cid=CRP_PRD_sns_tw_2014_summer_feature
They will announce Xperia Z2 (SO-03F), A2 (SO-04F) and Z2 Tablet (SO-05F).

docomo's Z got update to 4.2 nine days before Z1 (4.2) is launched.
Z1 should get 4.4 soon before/after SO-03F is released, but docomo is still developing 4.4.
They even writes "OS: Android 4.4 (Under investigation)" in their catalog...

Hello! Has anyone here tried any custom roms on their SO-01F? Just curious if anyone has tried or not. I was rooted previously and noticed there was an OTA so I reflashed the Docomo ftf .119 and upgraded my phone with the OTA. Then I re-rooted and installed ,multi recovery.

Actually I sold my Z1 to get Z2, but here is the ftf for 4.4.2 update:

You can use Towelroot exploit to root .288.

How to disable sony_ric to mount system as RW:
1. Download ric_disable pack
https://mega.co.nz/#!mp5jyDKa!l13Rm8r3bspzmhwtWmChXZf0MlWJkfKsHI9Nh2p4l_Q
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4fBjQuS8IxPVmgyajFyRFlvdnM/edit?usp=sharing

2. If you have recovery installed in your system, install "sony_ric_disabler_signed.zip".

If you don't have recovery or "sony_ric_disabler_signed.zip" doesn't work for you,
run these commands in command prompt:
Code:
adb push writekmem /data/local/tmp
adb push findricaddr /data/local/tmp
adb shell
chmod 0755 writekmem
chmod 0755 findricaddr
su
/data/local/tmp/findricaddr | /data/local/tmp/busybox tail -n2 | /data/local/tmp/busybox head -n1 | /data/local/tmp/busybox cut -d= -f2 > /data/local/tmp/ricaddr
chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/ricaddr
/data/local/tmp/writekmem `/data/local/tmp/busybox cat /data/local/tmp/ricaddr` 0
3. Run this command to mount system as RW:
Code:
mount -o remount,rw /system
4. Done!
If "sony_ric_disabler_signed.zip" doesn't work, you have to run these commands at every boot (for example, by Tasker "Run Shell" at "Device Boot").
Code:
su
/data/local/tmp/findricaddr | /data/local/tmp/busybox tail -n2 |  /data/local/tmp/busybox head -n1 | /data/local/tmp/busybox cut -d= -f2  > /data/local/tmp/ricaddr
chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/ricaddr
/data/local/tmp/writekmem `/data/local/tmp/busybox cat /data/local/tmp/ricaddr` 0
