Done some googling.

just flash stock 4.3 ftf files, wipe everything except data.
check the MD5 hash if the OP provided any.
I just rooted my JB 4.3 nod.gif

I have .257 rooted (previously from .534) then I flashed .290 (JB4.3) without wiping data. then I have a non-working SuperSU left in the system, did not remove it.

now I flashed DoomKernel by DoomLord, booted into TWRP (not sure why CWM not working again) then flash SuperSU.zip from SuperSU's website.

done :B

nice.. so it works with theh traditional rooting way.. rclxms.gif

I will teach further in detailed when I get the TWRP/CWM working properly (at all times). Now I have CWM/TWRP but they're not booting into it hmm.gif

but if you want to know how I did mine, I have rooted .257, flashed to .290 (4.3) ;

unlock bootloader, flashed DoomKernel, boot into TWRP install SuperSU.zip.

Flash back entirely stock ROM should get it back to original, no? hmm.gif

nope i dont think so.. bootloader is at the kernel level, it doesnt get affected by ROM inm..
its like the BIOS of a pc.. correct me if im wrong..

and once bootloader is unlocked thru the proper way, Sony side should hv ur unlock record already, and that basically voided the warranty..

Which will mean you need to flash original kernel back, and by entirely wiping data/TA/etc when flashing firmware.

what i mean is to Sony its still the same, bootloader unlocked = warranty voided..
its the agreement u signed during the process lol.. Sony already had ur phones' IMEI..

Yeahp. Understood tongue.gif

but so far, I don't think I'll need to send to factory for any repairs. Fine so far, been flashing my Jlo like no one's business laugh.gif still okay.
Anyways, if you all do not want to unlock bootloader, try to install XZ Dual Recovery which is meant for locked BL.

So it'll be

1) Rooted .257
2) Download C6903 14.2.A.0.290 Generic MY 1276-7939_R1B from here (taken from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2469191 )

3) Install CWM/TWRP/XZ Dual Recovery. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2572988
4) Flash SuperSU 1.86 from http://download.chainfire.eu/372/SuperSU/U...perSU-v1.86.zip

Done! You can also use this thread's rooting method, which is new but I did not try.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2573921

I am not responsible if you softbricked your device as this is not the method I used (mine is unlocked BL).

yea me too.. been with htc quite sometimes, cannot root like Z1, so unlock BL is quite essential lol..
anyway nice guide (y)

Samsung is only good when you go with custom.

#1 I have that issue and it's becoming worse. Left and right side of the screen, I'm using SwiftKey and I usually hold Q for 0.2 seconds it to change to 1 but somehow it just keeps getting cut off. Very weird.
*
sometimes it happens on mine too but its usually because of too oily.. once i wipe away the oil.. its all back to normal.. and i think nillkin SP got something to do with it too.. no issue without SP or maybe i didnt get to test thoroughly because i put on SP quite early..
