Thanks. I see the new bootloader image, but not a flashable .zip. Unfortunately I don't have access to a computer to flash via fastboot :-/

You are not looking hard enough. The first two sets of links are for the 4.3 zip one odexed and one deodexed, each has two mirror links. These are both before the bootloader download links which you do not need.
I downloaded and successfully installed through TWRP 2.5.x the deodexed version over rooted stock 4.2.2 without loosing any data or settings.
A couple of notes:
1) Download the SuperSu zip before flashing the 4.3 zip.
2) Make sure you take a full TWRP backup before flashing anything.
3) If you have Superuser installed remove it before flashing as it will no longer work with 4.3 (at least not as of Jul 25th)
4) When flashing 4.3 you can also add the SuperSu (4.3 compatible version) to the flash list. That makes life a little easier if you have existing apps that request root access. Make sure that it is flashed after 4.3
4.3 compatible SuperSu download link:

The download link which is down the page a ways has been verified by the author to work with an N10. Also his comments about Titanium Backups are worth reading.
Good luck.

And you're not reading hard enough. The OP's looking for a zip of the MD03 bootloader, not the ROM. To answer the OP, I don't think anyone has made a zip of the BL.

Zip is available here. I've already used it to update my Nexus 10 and I've already rooted with SuperSU 1.43. Works great.

HM my I looked though here and did not find a zip with just the boot loader.

I was able to solve my problem. Posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44025620
Would still be nice to have a flashable zip of the new bootloader for the community though

Used Nexus Root Toolkit and an .IMG file of the bootloader, but it definitely wasn't as time friendly as the cwm.zip on the N4. Though that can be put down to looking for a .zip file for the N10 all night.

[Q] Is there 4.4 + root in recovery-flashable zip?

Hello,
When 4.3 was out, @dalingrin made a flashable zip (for TWRP/CWM) from factory image of 4.3 + root and busybox.
Is there something like that for 4.4?
Meaning, 4.4 OS that comes with root and busybox, that can be flashed directly from recovery?
Thanks

Anyone...?
Is there a flashable zip of 4.4 to flash using TWRP?

Not that I have seen. Can't figure out why either.
I bit the bullet and sideloaded it. Wasn't that bad but would much prefer a flashable zip.

Finally got root on. 569

As i stateted on thred's info, I have managed to get root access on my C6603, at Last...
Simply flash this .Zip package, the supersu update one, and Make sure you are on advanced stock kernel by @DooMLoRD, reboot the phine twice or something **** that, and voila!
Root acces granted.

I'm sorry, but this isn't news and doesn't require a new thread.
DooMLoRD provided his advanced stock kernel in the 3rd post of Androxyde's thread for the 4.3 FTF.
Obviously, if you have an unlocked bootloader and a custom recovery, you can flash one of the many superuser zips that are around, including the more current version of SuperSu provided by Chainfire himself - http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu
Common sense, no?

Due to the amount of people that are flashing the leaked update, without the proper knowledge on what they are about to commit and they claim that their apps stop working, all the threads are useful, in my personal opinion.
Sorry if i disturb you, that was not my intention, just made it to help, nothing more.
BTW: I am on unlocked bootloader with DoomLord's advanced kernel, and it didn't gave me proper root access, so i had to improvise

You didn't have to improvise.
The advanced stock kernel has never provided root access automatically, only the means to gain it by flashing a zip containing the su binary, apk and sometimes busybox.

Yeah..I agreed to that sir..
I have a rooted 4.3 Z right now..Through the use of that method..Thanks to the great devs here for the fast work on the new fw :good:

I got.root through [NUT]'s method with the supersu zip package provided by niaboc79.
Working Like a charm! and still have a locked bootloader!
But somehow bravia engine isn't working at all

The best method for root is waiting for OTA update I think . Maybe they reapair Leaked version . We must Be patient.

maybe you have losed your DRM keys upon unlocking the bootloader? that also may be the reason why bravia engine isn't working.

i have a succesfull root on xperia z c6606 (c6603 569)
I started by flashing old 67 firmware. then got root and dual recovery.
then i flashed 569 with superfix and flashed the stripped down 569
then i flashed existenz's latest rom, v5.
after all that, I ended up with Android 4.3 (569) for C6603 on my C6606 without root access. I still had the recovery, but SuperSu was now missing.
So after 5 minutes of messing around, I found this file, UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.86.zip, so i put in root of sdcard, and flashed with cwm or twrp (idek anymore) and now I have root access and xposed framework from existenz is working
here is the supersu fix i used
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053
the website that actually hosts the file is download.chainfire.eu, but i am unable to post links to outside files.
edit
this information is really only for Xperia Z users whose Bootloader is Locked. This is an alternative method to Doomlords root, which requires flashing custom kernel, which is not possible with a locked bootloader.

Does anyone know how NUT rooted the ftf? I mean if he did that with a prerooted custom kernel, we(locked Bootloader guys) would not be able to flash that. But everyone say there i no way to root the FW with LB. I am really confused.
Does anyone can explain this to me?

He didn't root the FTF. His pre rooted rom is supplied as a zip that you flash via recovery.

I don't understand exactly. Can you explain it in an other way why do we have root in this ROM?
Because what I understand is that it only have to be a flashable zip for root. But this doesn't make sense to me
Thanks

This is a flashable zip that can be flashed in cwm or twrp unlike ftf which can't be changed or modified and must be flashed in flashtool
In other word Nut extracted the ftf converted it to zip added the root and recovery so it can be installed on the air without modifying the system files.a

He hasn't rooted the ftf.
He has extracted the contents and made a flashable zip of them that is rooted. Basically a custom rom.
The ftf that is in his topic is stripped and probably only contains the baseband and stock Sony kernel and needs to be flashed in addition to the prerooted zip he provides.

[REQUEST] A pre-rooted FTF file 5.1.1 stock ROM for Customized IT Z1C

Hi,
I'm looking for a pre-rooted Generic Italy (Customized IT) 5.1.1 FTF FIle (14.6.A.0.368)
I mean, a pre-rooted ftf file that I can flash with flashtool on my bootloader locked Z1C, not a zip file via recovery, because I don't have a recovery installed.
I'm on stock 5.1.1 ROM, goes very well...but without root I'm very annoing by Ad, Not working Titanium Backup, root explorer and so on...
I try to root it with KingRoot App, but is compatible with 5.0 only. I don't want to come back to 5.0.2 and than reflash only kernel...
Someone can help me?
Or can pre-root stock 5.1.1 customized IT ROM from this link ?
Thanks in advance to all.

It's not possible because a modified ftf cannot be flashed through Flashtool.
Downgrade to 4.4, root it, get recovery and flash a prf.
When i bought my D5503 in feb. 2014 it took over two days to root and preserve my drm keys.

Thanks for your answer. I understand the problem.
Now, I hope that will be released a tool for root 5.1.1 :fingers-crossed:
...because for now, I have no time and possibility of downgrade, root, reflash...z1c is my only phone and I need it fully working in these days.
Thanks for your time. :good:
EDIT: I've done! Thanks for your advice!
