Yes it will work! No need adb...anything, just run exe under your windows machine (and allso there is linux a version) and you are done.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] lavemetoo:
now done successfully :))

only SU wants to update its binaries. Any hints what to do in recovery mode?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] pressytcn:
thankyou for making this this was the easiest root tool i ever used

when i got my z1 i was happy with it then the mean kitkat came along and boom mynew 32 gb sd was rendered usesless so hopefully root and sd fx wil get it back to it's former state

so thanks :D
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] munjeni:
Thats happen only if newroot failed to fully root your phone (probably you ignored errors in log window?), but there is a solution: simple repeat procedure by unrooting than rooting again!
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] lavemetoo:
no, there was no error in the Screen. So I will repeat on Weekend, because freezing apps works well. The only Thing I mention is, that the SD Card is still not accessible and QuickPic gives Errors like before.

(EDIT: Just installed SDFix which solved this Problem :)

Is anything necessary before unrooting?

Mean, do I have to unfreeze apps in quarantaine again before unrooting? Or remove SU rights for the apps which asked for it?

Is it a problem if I have tried to use SuperSU to install afterwards (which failed)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] TheEndHK:
I've just tested it on Z1c(stock 4.4.2). Yup, it works.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] munjeni:
You definitely missing something, probably you have replaced busybox, or probably replaced superuser.apk, or probably replaced su, or probably ...anything other?? Tool is tested and definitelly have full root! Do in mind, external sdcard on all KitKat Sony firmwares is protected to apps so all no-platform aplications have restricted access to sdcard (newroot can not unrestrict that since you need to do that by self, or to use sdcard fixer apk!), hope things clear.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Jaysus88:
Hi.. i know its not rocket science but:

Root Tool only says "Device not found". USB-Debugging is active.

Do you guys have any idea?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] munjeni:
Install Sony PC Companion and usb drivers by pointing to directory of the drivers which is inside C:\Program Files\Sony\Sony PC Companion\Drivers\CurrentSigned
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] lavemetoo:
After retrying by unrooting and rooting again, the error message has gone.

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] papperlapapp:
Thank you very much for newroot!

What should we only do without you?

By the way, is CWM now part of newroot? I cannot get into CWM when I reboot my Z1....

When power on my Z1 and press vol-up there is no CWM fired up. Or is CWM not part of newroot?

Thank you.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] munjeni:
Yes newroot will install cwm! If you replaced busybox than my tool will not work and cwm too!
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] papperlapapp:
I did not change busybox. When i press volume up at boot i cant get in CWM.... What key do you use to get into CWM?

And i see when booting the LED is flashing fast in blue, i guess something is installed each boot?

When it start flashing you need to press volume button (your choice for up or down).

So after unrooting I can get the software updates from Sony?

I'm new to this end so can anyone tell whether we will get updates for Z1 if its rooted?

Thanks
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] kulvertti:
Some of the OTA updates might fail but you can use Sony Pc Companion no matter your are rooted or not. Normal app updates from Sony working fine with root though.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] munjeni:
You no need to unroot newroot in order to use OTA. But if you mean about bootloader unrooting (?) than you wil need to restore your TA if you have unlocked bootloader since ota can not work if your bootloader is unlocked!
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] papperlapapp:
And do we lose root after update?

Probably not if Sony fixed kernel bug (towelroot). I not updated my phone to the latest firmware so I do not know if rooting is possible, you can let me know! :)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] bramgg:
Not working for .133 firmware

Towelroot doesn't work with .133 firmware anymore. I haven't tried Newroot, but as the OP states it is based on Towelroot. So when Towelroot doesn't work this isn't working either. Let's hope Geohot will fix this issue with the new .133 kernel..

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] DarkNate34:
Man phone manufacturers must be stupid. Why make it harder for us to root the phones?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] munjeni:
He not doing that stupid since he want to protect you from thefts! For example he protect you from external apps which probably get root ring on your phone and perform some root commands (without your knownledge) to get your bank account, thats one of the possible scenarios but there is a lot of other possible bad things! :)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] DarkNate34:
It is stupid. Sure keep the protection, not every user in the world have technical knowledge on computers. But they should keep an easy option in hand for developers, power users and advanced computer users to unlock and root their devices at will.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] originaltanksta:
Damn it! I've been waiting for my firmware update to the latest 4.4.4 and i downloaded and set up newroot so its ready to go when I get my update and today I finally get my update and perform it and it's the 133 build! I come back on here to read how to root my phone to see the updated message saying it won't work on the 133 build! Just my luck.

Is there a nice easy root process for the 133 build? Cheers
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] kulvertti:
Flash previous kernel of your firmware, root it, flash 133 firmware kernel and you have rooted 133 firmware.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] originaltanksta:
I dont know how to do any of that but thanks anyway.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] kulvertti:
Go here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2469191 and find your 108 or 118 firmware. If you are unfamiliar with Flashtool there are links to guides in that thread OP. Flash that 108 or 118 firmwares kernel by exluding everything else but kernel in Flashtool flash settings. Root that with Newroot or root method of your choice. Find ftf of you 133 firmware or make one yourself and flash that firmware kernel by excluding everything else but kernel in Flashtool settings.

Easy option for developer> Unlock bootloader

Because many people doesn't familiar with exploit, or hacking, Xperia need something to protect their user, because they all STUPID

If you want to be a power user, rooting isn't enough for you, you also need ROM + Kernel with many hack, like CM

OP, sorry for OT

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] DarkNate34:
Easy huh? If so we wouldn't need to find exploits.

You think I'm an idiot? I know what a power user is.

That's what I been saying. You even understand British English? I said why do they keep excessive protections without easy methods for unlocking and rooting a device without having to find a "way to hack". If you can't understand that, I suggest you go back to an English school.

I've found the firmware i want which is 14.1.G.1.534, which if im correct is jelly bean 4.2.2 i feel i dont need to root if i go back to this as i actually liked this firmware. will flashing to this erase my phone content or will it be just as it was but with the new firmware?

Also if i change my mind and follow as you have instructed here will that also erase my content? Cheers
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] kulvertti:
In Flashtool just untick data option in wipe section and flashing firmware don't erase your phone content. Tough making backup before flashing is good practice if something go wrong.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] originaltanksta:
Great thank you, you guys are stars
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] croash:
Firstly, thanks for the tool, it certainly makes the process easy.

However, after rooting successfully, and using the recovery to create a nandroid backup, the backup files are created with a 1970 date, instead of the usual current date.

Any idea?

FWIW, I've reflashed a stock . ftf and re-rooted, and the backup file is still named 1970.

I have sucessfull installed Newroot a while ago on my Xperia Z1 (C6903) 14.4.A.0.108 with stock ROM running KitKat 4.4.4. The problem is that i can not start in CWRM recoverymode anymore, when i reboot and the LED starting to blink and i push the volume down button the phone just vibrates and shows the SONY logo and nothing more happens, i have to push the on/off button two times to make the phone reboot. I have tried to push volume up button aswell when blue LED is blinking but i encounter the same problem. Anyone have any idea what the problem is? I have tried to unroot with Newroot and root it again, installed busybox and SuperSu from Chainfire, and tried with Superuser Clockworkmod aswell, same problem, cannot boot to recoverymode anymore. Help would be appreciated.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] munjeni:
Newroot working only with busybox provided by newroot! If you change busybox you will lose root (probably cwm will not work too) !

Probably it will work but it will not install recovery, only you will get root and busybox (recovery is installed only on z1 and z1c). You can try but on your own risk! Tool will not hard brick your phone but probably can corrupt your android so you will need to be ready to reflash your rom if something go wrong! Good luck!

Unrooted and rooted again using your tool. Used towelroot to root the phone originally. Somehow I lost recovery and stupidly updated SuperSU via play store. Could no longer recover or give root permissions.

Your tool sorted it out on the Z1. Unrooted, re root and now have Cwm and superuser working.

Thanks so much, was going to have to do a clean install, now I don't.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Tavros:
Hi,

i got root now (TB and ES Explorer works fine), but i dont got CWM.

The blue LED doesn't flash at boot and press the Volume-up doesn't start recovery. Maybe it has to do with the encryption of the phone?

Another problem: Removing (system)apps with TB fails, at first it looks like they are deleted, but after restarting TB they are back again...
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] munjeni:
There is 2 possible missing things:

1. Unsuccessfull root (simple unroot and reroot will solve problem!)

2. You have replaced my busybox and or maybe replaced superuser and su? (solution is - do not replace them!)

Hope this help. :)
