Root your Sony Xperia Z1 running Android 4.4.4 KitKat easily with just one click. This tutorial is for Build 14.4.A.0.108 , it may work on other older builds also.

Thanks to CubeandCube for the root tool (exploit)


Disclaimer : I am not responsible if you brick your phone or if u make any other damage to your phone

The images used are of C6902 model but this works on all models of Xperia Z1 running KitKat 4.4.4

So Lets Start :

1. First make sure you are running KitKat 4.4.4 Build 14.4.A.0.108. Go to Settings > About to verify this. This method may work on older firmwares. 



2. Download this File - rootkitXperia_20140719.zip and exctract it completely using WinRAR or WinZip.
 

3. Enable USB Debugging , Go to Settings > About phone and tap 7 times on Build number to enable Developer options, now Go to Settings > Developer options to enable Enable USB debugging mode.


4. Enable Unknown Sources. Go to Settings > Security and check Unknown sources.
 

5. Connect USB Cable to phone , then connect it to your Computer. On your phone Skip the PC Companion Companion prompt (if it appears), a prompt will come on your mobile to Allow USB Debugging , click on Ok, see screenshot below. 


6. Right Click on My Computer > Manage , now goto Device Manager , and see if Android is listed like the below screenshot , to verify your device is properly connected. If yes move on to the next step.  (If no then install ADB Drivers , if u have Sony PC Companion installed just open it and wait for some time the drivers will get installed automatically , then close PC Companion and proceed )



7. Now go to the Folder where you extracted the downloaded file from Step 2, and execute "install.bat" .

Note :- If your device is not properly connected or ADB drivers are not installed , you will be stuck on daemon started successfully . To install ADB drivers install Sony PC Companion and then connect your phone with USB Debugging Mode ON , ur drivers will get installed, exit PC Companion before starting the rooting process.

8. The Rooting Process will start , wait for some time , your phone will automatically reboot, wait for some more time :P

9. When the Rooting Process is completed ,  the Screen will show --all finished--. Press Any Key to Continue. 

THATS IT YOUR PHONE IS NOW ROOTED.
 
Note : This method works on both locked and unlocked bootloader devices!!!
