No，it's for locked BL so recovery and root/su are integrated, which can be provided by a custom kernel.

Internal storage size doesn't matter in this case I think, but 10.1.C.0.370 is for WiFi model and LTE model's firmwares use a different build, like 10.1.E.0.265.
It is not recommended to flash a different zip...
If you are already up to date and only want root, reboot fix or recovery, try @DooMLoRD's new root tool and the fix mentioned in the #1.

Hi Fisherman, your links are down, could you please check it? or maybe create a mirror on another server?
By the way, is this a FTF file? or flasheable ZIP? i guess is a FTF because i read on DoomLord thread that in order to flash recovery you need to have the bootloader unlocked.
Thank you.

d-h.st seems down now...
Cannot upload at the moment, if d-h.st does not recovers tomorrow I will upload to another mirror.
And this is a CWM flashable zip as stated in the title.
Also installing recovery does not necessarily require unlocked BL/Custom Kernel, it can be installed on a rooted rom. Find a version works in that way~

Oh nice. I guess he stated that before because the system rw reboot issue, so the best way to achieve that was using fastboot. Thank you man!
I don't understand some points in the installation instructions.
1) Why must the 370 FTF / update be flashed first? When anyway after that 344 must be flashed???
2) When the bootloader is unlocked, I can install / run CWM directly and flash this ROM here directly, or can't I??

Well in the instructions he said:
1. the .370 without flashing system.sin and userdata.sin, that means, only stuff not related to the system partition and well, you can keep your data because userdata.sin is not selected.
2. the .344 only system.sin because this is the one with most opportunities to root using bin4ry tool.
3. then in the files he provides, you will have the 370 system with all the fixes but that one is a CWM flash file, so you will need to install the recovery and then flash this file. See the attachment he posted here.
If your bootloader is unlocked you can use fastboot to flash the recovery. Also you can skip flashing those FTF files, and just flash the CWM file. But i believe that someone confirmed that you won't need this because if your bootloader is unlocked you can install root and remount /system without any issues.

Since you have already updated firmware, no need to install this if the new rootkits work, try them.
Find DooMLoRD's above.
Translated Japanese toolkit from 2ch in attachment.
If they don't apply to our Tablet Z, you will have to flash 344 FTF (system only) then do the rest.

You can not flash a CWM zip without recovery, and it need root to install one, and no root for 370 now
So it's necessary to download a 344 FTF, flash the system part only, and use the old working toolkit to root it.
It may be very likely to fail on different devices because the rootkit uses a kernel exploit, the address for which to run just usually varies from kernel to kernel.
Wait for our great devs to figure out the working address will be the most painless.
Or do the operations in the OP, and of course install a custom kernel after unlocking BL if you don't mind doing so, is way faster atm.
Here's an older rootkit also from 2ch. Try it if interested.

Samsung made these devices a bit more secure than normal (this is a good thing), by making adbd ignore ro.kernel.qemu/ro.secure/ro.debuggable.
However some people prefer an unsecured boot image that runs adbd as root, so here you go. These are stock with ro.secure=0 set, and with a standard AOSP adbd, please match them with your firmware (do not flash to other firmwares)

Will this method erases the old data / system? If yes then I will try this as last resort but in the meantime if there's safer (and smaller downloads, the full rom is about 700 mb in size) way I'll try that first.

OK, based on the previous topic on rooting V30A, here is the updated package for those people who want to just root V30B, while keeping the stock bootloader and recovery. It's an image of /system directory (taken from the new V30B) which includes su and superuser.apk.
http://d-h.st/nzI
http://depositfiles.com/files/zdnn68vt4
(filesize: 286,931,373 bytes, MD5: c787ef960b18e222b23327eaa34db0f5)
Just connect your phone in NVflash mode, and run the batch file. Successfully tested by me. Enjoy! I take no credit for the method; I am just providing an updated system.img.
As noted above, this rooting method does NOT install unlocked bootloader or CWM! If you want unlocked BL and CWM, the P990 AIO Tool is the easiest way to do it (it also does many other things -- if you haven't tried it, give it a go, it's wonderful!).

No, on 4.3 it doesn't work like that.
1 - You need to flash back to 4.1.2 or 4.2.2 firmware with flashtool, 1 that will let you root your tablet with a 1 click root method from DoomLord.
2 - Install Recovery once rooted
3 - Upload the zip file to your SDCard and flash the zip from CWM or TWRP
4 - Power Off WITHOUT rebooting
5 - Flash with Flashtool the the stripped FTF
Boot and you will be rooted on the latest firmware.
Its the same way as in this thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588442 )except you will be using the latest files/firmware.

99% that it will work.
If I am not the most ignorant XDAdevelopers member I am certainly in the top 10. That said here is my dilemma.
Equipment:
* Phone: Sony Xperia Z1
* Model: C6906
* Android Version: 4.3
* Build: 14.2.A.0.209
Goals:
* I would like root access (SuperSU).
* I don't want ClockWork Mod Manager (permanently, if I need to use it at some point).
* I DON'T want a custom ROM (I want to keep the stock firmware).
* Xposed Framework provide all the functionality I need.
* IF boot loader unlocking is necessary I would like to be able to relock the boot loader.
From my readings KINGO would appear to be amongst the simplest root tools, but from the KINGO site it does not appear to support the Z1. On the other hand, I have read posts where users say they have used KINGO on this phone.
Is a full nandroid backup possible/necessary given the above prior to making changes?
As I already feel like the South end of a horse facing North, please be gentle with any comments.
Thanks in advance.

You want a full nandroid backup but no recovery? I suggest you install a recovery and leave it there. It wont make any difference to you
First, if all you want is root them do this
1) Downgrade to 4.2 FW ending in .534
2) Install dual recovery from the cross development thread
3) Flash SuperSU.zip from chainfire
4) Upgrade to your chosen ROM, there are several stock based ones in the development section.
No need to unlock your bootloader, you will be rooted and your choice of ROM with the ability to use xposed

You don't heave to Unlock Bootloader to get Root. I don't know what is ClockWork Mod Manager? For sure you will need a recovery, permanently like TWRP or Philz to make Update with Pre-Rooted Androids.
Download the FTF .534 Rogers for your model form FTF Collection in general Section, flash it with Flashtool v0.9.15, when you are on 4.2.2 FW .534 Root it with Bin4ry Method (from PC, there is not simplest way), Install SuperSU from Play Store or Flash the .zip file (you will find the link on How Root 4.3 or 4.4), then Instal XZDualRecovery (from PC, there is not simplest way), now you are ready to update to your favorite Android 4.3 or 4.4 and follow the instructions of "Hot to" in the specific thread.

CMW recovery-Clock Work Mod recovery
Its the one Philz is based on...
You do not need it permanently, you can delete it and reinstall it when you want it, but I don't see the point in that, just leave it there to be used as when is needed.
BTW, I am not soo fast in typing so I am the last one!!

Of curse. Nothing to say about that. :good:
I was hoping to avoid what appears to me major modifications like flashing firmware (next phone is a nexus).
Another question, if I root only will a factory restore remove root?
Thanks to all the help. Off to work now, looking forward to reading more comments if any more are offered.
fiiish
yes, flashing stock FTF will revert your phone back to a factory state
This process of rooting will take about 10 minutes once you have everything downloaded, its not difficult.

I am lost. There does not appear to be a single set of directions that I can follow. Go to this site to get this, except that, then go here or there. I just can't get my head around what I can now see are only a few steps.
I have downloaded:
- C69XX_14.3.A.0.681.patch.zip
- C6906_14.3.A.0.681.flashable.zip
- flashtool-0.9.15.0-windows.exe
If the offer still holds for help with step-by-step I will gratefully accept your help!!!
Thanks and regards.

First you need the requirement
Download the 534 firmware of your country here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2469191
Install XZDualRecovery here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261606
Now you can follow the instructions of NUT :
Put 'C69XX_14.3.A.0.681.flashable.zip' on (the external) SDcard1;
Put 'C69XX_14.3.A.0.681_Stripped.ftf' inside the Flashtool/firmwares folder;
Start your phone in recovery mode (boot the phone and after the 2 vibrations push vol down)
Create a backup of your phone in TWRP and don't forget to backup the contents of 'SDCard' (the internal storage!);
Flash 'C69XX_14.3.A.0.681.flashable.zip' in TWRP (select install and select your file)
NOTE: do not reboot but go back to the main menu, then go to reboot->power off;
Flash everything in 'C69XX_14.3.A.0.681_Stripped.ftf' using flashtool;
Reboot to system.
This method works with Unlocked Bootloader for stock rom 690 rooted !
UPDATE 21/03: THANK TO Androplus, WE HAVE NOW AN ADVANCED STOCK KERNEL WITH WORKING RECOVERY !!! JUST FLASH HIS KERNEL (Z2_ADV_stock_LP.zip) IMAGE (boot.img) VIA FASTBOOT, THEN FLASH THE jimRnor's PATCH VIA RECOVERY.
Requirements : adb and fastboot installed on your computer
Instructions: (outdated)
- Download the Androplus Kernel v30a, extract the boot.img from the zip and copy it in the fastboot directory of your computer ( credits @AndroPlus )
- Download D6503_23.1.A.0.690_XZDRKernel2.8.3-RELEASE.flashable.zip (section XZDualRecoveryKernel) and copy it in internal SD ( credits @[NUT] )
- Download DRM Function Restoration for Xperia Lolipop V2 and copy it in internal SD ( credits @jimRnor )
- Power off your device
- Go in fastboot mode (volume+, plug the USB cable)
- Flash boot.img :
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
- Unplug your device and go in TRWP recovery
- Flash DRM Function Restoration for Xperia Lolipop V2.zip
- Flash D6503_23.1.A.0.690_XZDRKernel2.8.3-RELEASE.flashable.zip (it restores boot.img)
- Reboot
Enjoy !!
Will Androplus kernel will work on android 5.0.2 stock sony?

No, it just a temporary solution to get recovery. You reflash the 690 kernel just at the end (last step before reboot)
I can't access files using androplus, it just shows folders, instead I use doomkernel.
But androplus still works.
just wondering : will the FOTA recovery work ? it's not kernel related, so if we flash one, we shouldn't need to go through the whole process of flashing kernels ?
not very sure, still a Z2 noob.

Don't know...
My method works, that's the most important.
We can even use this method to do a backup...
So this will work to get root too? I read about that Kernel we can get full root (mount R/W too). Anyway thanks for the good thread.

Another question, this only will remote X Reality? Or will restore other functions like Noise cancelling and BIONZ?
Working on D6502? Hope it work, maybe we can install Xpose LP by temporary recovery too

Yes, you will get full root.
Bionz is not affected by UB. Noise cancelling, I don't know I don't use it. Anyway, the patch may restore all what is lost by unlocking.

Yes, it may work for D6502.
If you install xposed, you may get troubles... (I have not tried)
So after this we will get full root, drm functions and bootloader will remain unlocked. Right?

Hei buddy.. One final doubt. I just revert back to Kitkat for some reason.. Now i am going to flash pre rooted lolipop rom. I have a Unlocked Bootloader ofcourse.. So are u sure after flashing the patch our Bravia Engine, X Reality and Supervivid Mods will work as it should before?
I have heard unlocking bootloader will reduce camera performance.. Is it true? Will flashing this patch will recover it?
Just just X Reality, but many people say you don't lose any performance on the camera. But yes just flash this and you will recovery all. Even if you want do a backup of your DRM Keys before unlock your bootloader to restore the functionality when you want.
