ok, b'cos i have a TA-Backup on my phone from firmware .67. Would be nice to lock the bootloader and still keep the root, but maybe this will mess up the recovery, I have no idea :S

Yes, but make sure you flash back the stock kernel, as you will relock the bootloader when you restore your TA and soft brick your phone if it's still on the advanced stock kernel.

ahh, so i should make a only kernel ftf of my own 569 firmware and flash only kernel before i restore my TA-backup. But, do i loose root if i flash my own kernel only of 569?

Ok i unlocked my bootloader and rooted my device this way written by OP. No problem, i got root
Then i made my own Only kernel from my orginal ftf and flash it to remove DooMLoaRD's kernel we used here and it worked i still have root.
Proof:

And now i'm gonna relock my bootloader using my TA-Backup, crossing fingers and everything else.
EDIT:

YES YES Got ROOT and with "Locked Bootloader"
Thank you very much MMX35, DooMLoaRD, kingvortex and DevShaft
PROOF:

Thanks

So after I officially unlock bootloader via flashtool, I followed this rooting procedure (Thanks btw), can I just relock bootloader using flashtool again without losing root? Thanks!

You must flash a stock kernel or you will soft brick your phone when you relock the bootloader.

Sent from my C6903 using xda app-developers app

unlock the phone from T-Mobile first using the following method
http://sim-unlock.net/simlock/Sony/Xperia_Z1/
then try again

The 14.1.G.2.257 Firmware is still not "directly" rootable with a tool.
You just have the possibility to downgrade on .534/.518 and use the already posted root instructions.
Either on an OTA Update to 14.1.G.2.257 you will keep rootaccess. To the newest firmware (.290) the OTA Update will not preserve full rootaccess -> only with ULBL you can root the latest one.
But be warned! MAKE AN TA-BACKUP before unlocking the bootloader.
Regards,
meet
EDIT: @Morlock O
The SIMlock does not point any issues on flashing ftf files or rooting the phone....

Sigh.
Dear God, will the Z1 never have a normal/easy rooting method like it did on 4.2.2 with vRoot? I'm an amateur at best. I don't want to downgrade (which I heard could break the IMEI or something), or unlock my bootloader (which seems like an awful lot of trouble). Someone please tell me it's possible... I've been walking around with a non rooted phone longer than I'd like. My S3 and note 10.1 were a breeze to root. I don't even remember having any trouble rooting them... Why is it so hard to root the Z1!?!?

I think IMEI lose only occurs on Samsung Devices. Off course its possible on most other phones but it's far less unlikely that it will occur on the Xperia Z1.
By the way if you downgraded to 4.2.2 you would temporarily lose cellular use on your phone, you would need to update the baseband to the one that is packed with the latest update. But even that won't ruin your IMEI, just temporarily disable it.

use this ftf to downgrade http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48555400&postcount=3 to .534. You won't "loose" Your IMEI.
Than root, install recovery and upgrade to .136.

I installed your rom and all is working fine: newest firmware with full root @ CE customization.
Thanks a lot.

thanks mate. I was asking yesteday to Nut to créate this or at least to tell me how to do it.. Could you tell me the process to change from baltic to central europe?. Cheers.

So to check.
If on 4.3 with full root and recovery.
Wipe
Flash rom
Load kernel via flashtool
Profit?
That simple?

Yep.
You can add another step to this. If you have a backup in TWRP.
After flashing via Flashtool reboot to system. After system boot reboot to recovery and flash the data partition backup (_only_). Then wipe Dalvik. You will end up with all Your apps+data

To tell you the truth: I don't know.
What I would do is:
1. Make TWRP backup.
2. Wipe everything.
3. Flash the zip.
4. Power off.
5. Flash the FTF via Flashtool.
6. Boot into system. After boot reboot to recovery.
7. Restore DATA partition ONLY. Wipe Dalvik.
8. Boot into system.
After that you end up with a clean install with all your apps+data.
HTH.

Have you checked if your region received it through:
Xpericheck.com
Or:
Fwchecker.com
You can download the ftf with Flashtool that got Xperifirm included. It fixes everything automatically, the only thing you have to do is downloading it and afterwards flash it. Even if your region hasn't received you can give another region a go, but I wouldn't recommend it, because the mobile network is customized in each different firmware region

It will work, but the risk is that the network might be slower than before, because it's not optimized for your region

The moment you alter the kernel even the slightest bit from the OEM settings, the bootloader needs to be unlocked.
So my answer is that it won't work with locked bootloader.
