I don't think it's possible on non-rooted devices, but if you have a custom ROM like CM, you can find it in "Developer settings".
I recommend rooting your phone since you can always flash stock, non-rooted firmware back and no one will ever know you were rooted

Dowgrade to 4.1.2 ONLY IF YOU ARE ON 4.3 NOW! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658952
Then root it by following this awesome tutorial by DoomLord: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2405933
After rooting it you can start using root apps, modifying your system and flashing ROMs (Locked bootloader Only)
If you want to flash Roms which are for Unlocked bootloaders then you need to unlock your bootloader, but I don't recommend it if you're not an advanced user.
Good luck and I hope I helped

You can always install a stock based ROM with root, or just add root options to 4.3 yourself (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2681597)

Root KitKat Stock

Hey did anyone find a script to root the LG G2 with the new firmware update to KitKat? I've tried to use the scripts that are out, but none worked and tried to root it before update and still nothing. If you guys have any helpful links please and thank you.

well you should look harder and you can find IOroot25 the only that can't be rooted on kitkat is the d801 t-mo variant which needs to be downgraded to 4.2 to root and install custom kk rom which supports root and custom recovery

Wait 5.0 or root 4.4.4

Hi.
I have a sort of a dilema. I really want root on my 4.4.4 z2, but I also want to wait for the 5.0 update. I know cyanogenmod 12 has 5.0, but I want the Sony stock 5.0. Do you have any pros and cons for waiting and pros and cons for rooting it now?
Thx

Root the 4.4.2 then wait for existenz 5.0(5.0 lollipop)
Because root will not come immidiately for 5.0

I would root and wait for someone to make a pre-rooted version of 5.0.2
Its going to happen the day sony releases Lolipop for Xperias

Okey, thank you
edit: Thank you both

Root for lollipop is gonna take ages to find for sure.. You can root right now but updating to lollipop will make you lose it

No it won't. If your rooted now you'll just need to flash a rooted lollipop zip in recovery.

root it man :good:

Just root it..

Firstly, i think thread belongs to question and answer section.
Secondly, just root it.
If you were in dire need of root, you would have done it without asking anyways so it seems root isn't really important to you

He is right, you misunderstood this guy. You will lose root if you upgrade to a non-rooted lollipop. But I get you, the easiest way will be flashing a pre-rooted lollipop... But I think we'll have to wait a few years before we finally get it.

Unlock Z1 Bootloader officially and use Sony Flashtool to install custom rom

Hello guys,
i got a sony z1 and i looked through all threads how to root and install custom roms and all methods seem pretty intense.
Is it not easier just to do it the official way ? i mean sony provides everything that you need to unlock and flash things. Can i do it this way ?
1. Unlock Bootloader officially :
http://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/unlock-yourboot-loader/
2. Download Sony Flash Tool:
http://developer.sonymobile.com/services/flash-tool/
3. Download a custom rom FTF and flash it with Flash Tool.
does it work that way ? or have i missed something ? thanks guys

Backup your Ta partition before unlocking..!!

hey thanks !
i think i really messed up. I am on 5.0.2 Lollipop and rooted with kingroot. But i disliked kingroot because i read that the software might install some spyware on your phone. so i uninstalled it again and lost root. Now i am stuck. i think something is messed up in my root folder. Even the official 5.1.1 rom cant be installed.
is there another way to root 5.0.2 and backup the TA partition ?

You could have replaced KingRoot with supersu.
There is a thread here that describes the way.

I can't remember because I backed up my ta portion long time ago but do you really need root to do it?

you may flash *.108 firmware ,root it,backup your ta,unlock your bootloader, install recovery,flash any custom rom of your choice,also do read for bugs/problems in rom before flashing.
if you are a beginner i would advise you not to unlock bootloader . first play with roms that work with locked bootloader then unlock it ,as with locked bootloader it is very easy to recover your device...:good::fingers-crossed:

Thanks man. I did not know that you could downgrade with no root and locked bootloader. I am now on *.108 Firmware 4.4.4 kitkat.
I just have 2 more questions then i am really happy.
1. I have some trouble with rooting using NUTS method.
after clicking on the install.bat cmd opens and i type 3 for Installation on unrooted rom using towelroot method
and then hit enter. nothing happens. after looking at some other threads here i realized maybe sony patched 4.4.4 so towelroot does not work anymore.
any otherway to install it ?

thanks! worked and the dualrecovery installer worked too. After I updated the ADB drivers. :good:
TA-Partition saved with TWRP. I did not know that losing the TA-partition would delete the x-reality, bionz and other features forever.
I mean why do people still unlock their bootloader when they can just downgrade and install recovery ?
Just in case... does upgrading / downgrading with flashtool always work on a locked unrooted Z1 or do higher firmwares prevent you from downgrading ? Could i just flash a pre-rooted TFT for example 5.1.1 and dont have to worry about root after installation?

Flashtool does always work. It doesn't matter which firmware your phones uses, if it is rooted or not or your bootloader locked or unlocked.
