Because there are still people asking how to root kitkat I hope this thread will be enough this time.
0. (optional) Make backup of DRM keys, TA partition using stock JB.
1. Unlock your bootloader.
2. Download CWM kernel for your device/KK version - http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...2303-cwm-based-recovery-6-0-4-6-root-t2884503
3. Flash kernel using fastboot or flashtool. (yes, flash)
4. Boot to recovery and flash SuperSu. Can be downloaded from this site.
5. Done, reboot your device.
Nothing more.
Sony RIC is disabled by default.
Additional info:
Flashing via fastboot:
open terminal in directory where the kernel is downloaded. You can rename boot_kk.img to boot.img
Connect M2 in fastboot mode (blue LED)
type:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Disconnect device and boot.

working on my D2306 with 18.3.c.0.37
so far so sooooo good. i just rooted my xperia mexican version with the one for d2303, i am on the Brazilian kitkat ftf. i haven't seen any problem since i installed it. already running some xposed mods no crash and no random reboots. same procedure as in the first post.!! so ill suggest if you guy want to add the device for the working ones.
so by the way tank you very much.!! no this phone is much better
any questions feel free to ask and dont forget to tank the guy who posted this root option
Great job. CWM has the letters a little big but it works very good.
Now the only thing for making this cell more useful would be to swap memory from internal to external.
Thank you again
Could you please make this root available for the Xperia M2 D2306 as well? Or is the D2303 and the D2306 the same?
It worked! Thank you
I did root with 4.4.2 locked bootloader doing this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-m2/help/kitkat-root-locked-bootloader-t2927377
It works, thank you very much

i have my xperia E 11.3.A.2.13 rooted locked bootloader
first flash 11.3.A.0.47 firmware and root with your favorite (unlock root, framaroot or srsroot) reboot.
after go to update center app and upgrade your firmware directly on your device, over the air, wifi, wait for it to download and install
then your device restarts you have the new firmware 11.3.A.2.13 ROOTED

Hi all!
I have a rooted(using framaroot) XPERIA E(C1505) phone, with locked bootloader(bl unlock allowed:no). I've been searching on xda for 2 days, I found a lot of install guides for other types, but i cant find the solution for installing CWM to my phone.
So i'd like to ask is there any method to install CWM with locked bootloader, or it's impossible now?
And if it's impossible, can i install Custom ROM without CWM? How?
Thank you for replying

No sorry mate, your going to have to have an unlocked bootloader or wait for the developers to come out with CWM for locked bootloaders, hardly likely for our phone, Maybe in a year or so since the Xperia E came out this year!

No chance bro. The only thing you can do without cwm, is install some mods (themes, toggles etc), i mean all the stuff you can just copy in system/app.
If you want to install a custom rom you will need to unlock your bootloader and use a kernel with integrated cwm.

Then you didn't install cwm mate. You rooted your phone and unlocked your bootloader, right?
Are you using a custom kernel?
Please describe me the entire procedure you did with the links of the mods you used.

Hi men, I think it is possible with flashtool. You can check in xperiafirmware dot com (sorry, they don't let me set any website)

The question was raised because of the locked bootloader...
Does any know a suitable method for Xpheria E ,locked bootloader,to run Custom roms?
What are you guys talking about? Unlocking bootloaders, CWM in general or CWM for locked bootloaders in particular?
I think somebody said CWM for locked bootloader wasn't possible for the E cause there was no available exploit.

Hi I would like to ask for your help on working with my Xperial L. It is free phone from my network plan so when I checked the unlock bootloader is set to NO. that is my problem at the moment. Is it still possible to root, and port a kernel/custom rom even if the bootloader cannot be unlocked? I hope you could give me the proper steps so I can arrive at the same set up as yours.
Here are the details of my unit at the moment:
Model - Xperial L C2105
Android version - 4.1.2
Build number - 15.0.A.2.17
Bootloader unlock: not allowed
I haven't started anything yet as I'm unsure which to steps to follow, hope if there's someone who had the same details can help me to root and port a kernel/rom.
Many Thanks in Advance!

Yes you can root & also install ROM too without unlocking (Which is risky). Kernel needs UBL so you can never have kernel for your device(AFAIK). Try to get it unlocked from your vendor or ask him for a replacement for your phone and get a Unlock able phone.

Make sure to update your Bootloader to support flashing to recovery partition, link to that is in prerequisites section of the above guide.

Install TWRP image to your stock kernel then flash magisk.zip , or you can directly flash a custom kernel with pre-installed magisk instead, there is a tone of good kernels for your device
Oh and BTW wrong forum, your question must be in AT Q&A forum.

docomo set cannot unlock bootloader.

The docomo version can't have bootloader unlocked, which means you can't flash any custom ROMs or recovery,so you can't flash Magisk or SuperSU and you are not be able to root your device.
