.257 able to root or not guys?

i have not found any root method yet

ask me to install driver. i found it in the driver folder.selected Z1 and its showing installing but wont move .aiks

then something is wrong. i just follow the instruction to install the z1 driver, and it'll pop up another window to install it without any problem

pop out another windows ask me really want to install? as the driver no valid digital sign. i chose install anyway and it still stuck.

erm... i think u try to re-download and reinstall the flashtool software

did u do dis step:

Additional Step :- Install Drivers

Install Drivers from the folder named “FlashTool Drivers” in the location where FlashTool is installed.

from: http://www.xperiaguide.com/2013/10/17/flas...-tool-manually/

yea after this it start installing but it stuck.

probably u can redo everything again, uninstall ur flashtool and start over

change another pc n it works fine.thanks guys

then i might wait for the root to be available first before update.

is there any major improvement with this update apart from the enhanced picture quality?

to me no major improvement other than the camera app. i found that pic are sharper and less grainy now.

sony officially said there will be display and battery improvement. but i doubt it will be noticeable, unless u r one of them who always closely monitor your battery performance and display quality

good to hear that
