Could Not Root Xperia L (C2104) 4.2.2,help!!

I read all the methods posted here but it dint work out....i tried:
1.)DooMLoRD_Easy-Rooting-Toolkit_v17_perf-event-exploit
2.)Xperia_L_ROOT
3.)motochopper
all the exploits failed.....so i cant even backup my TA,it says your device is not properly rooted....
today i learned all the terms related to flashing and flashed my phone using flashtool with stock rom "C2104_15.3.A.0.26_India.ftf"....its working fine...
can i flash a custom rom without rooting and with locked bootloader in similar manner as i flashed stock rom..??
without rooting i cant flash CWM recovery,right..???
without CWM recovery i cant install custom rom,right..??
custom roms are already rooted(i read in forums) so can i flash a custom rom using flashtool (but my device is neither rooted nor unlocked)....??
Phone:
Xperia L C2104
Android version 4.2.2
Build number 15.3.A.0.26

You will need to root to install a custom Rom. (we currently have just one lol) and for cwm you'll need an unlocked bootloader. Idk about locked bootloaders, I think levered had a thread idk. Oh and as for rooting, check this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2302700

is downgrade possible ..???
acc to u i flash stock 4.1.2 in the same way i did for 4.2.2 using flashtool...then use motochopper to root ..then backup ta...unlock bootloader...but then we remain in stock rom 4.1.2 right..??
or we can then use the custom roms for 4.2.2 directly without flashing the stock 4.2.2...???

Actually..
when the fw update rolled out I installed it..
..later wat I did was download the stock rom(15.a.0.2.17) from the forum itself and flashed it using flashtool..
Then I used motochopper..backed up my ta..n then went down wid full root..
downgrade isnt possible directly..
---------- Post added at 07:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:19 PM ----------
And no I dnt think any exploit works currently directly on 4.2.2
I didnt want to void warranty..so I went with keeping the bootloader intact and backup ta..
incase phn got damaged later on..
U can straight away unlock the bootloader and then use motochopper and root ur phn..but then backing up ta wont make sense!coz u need to backup ta before bl unlocking,only then u ll get a locked bootloader if u restore it!
---------- Post added at 07:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:24 PM ----------
And one more thing(srry for makin it so long)
u can wait for sumtime...if u dnt wanna follow this long process..
the guys dat work on these exploits are some hardworkers...and they ll bring up an exploit for locked bootloader shortly!!!

what else i cud do...????
really its very confusing.....when i read the advantages of rooting it says we can flash a custom rom that has not been officially released for our phones....like we have 4.2.2 n if smone creates a custom rom based on 4.4 for our phone we must be able to flash it right...??
but the clean n tweaked rom says in its instruction flash ur fone wid 4.2.2 stock rom then root then flash custom rom n again root....why its so..??
i rooted 4.1.2 then i must be able to flash that....cuz u already know the problem is 4.2.2 is not getting rooted....
i must keep 4.1.2 till someone tells me how to flash CWM n flash a custom rom on 4.1.2 or someone tells me how to root 4.2.2......

To enter CWM, unlock bootloader is required..
CnT v4.and up have the method to flash the rom for Lock Bootloader but its based on latest firmware (4.2.2)
but its required root 4.2.2 stock or custom for the script to work.

sorry for being late to reply.....
so if i unlock my bootloader using flashtool then i can install CWM........
which rom will i be able to flash then...??? i mean CnT based on 4.2.2 or CnT based on 4.1.2....??
and plzz someone help me to install linux on android.......the method i found reboots my device everytime i open the terminal.....

Yes, but please read carefully about unlocking bootloader, some devices got bootloop after unlocking...
so be prepared with ftf file for flashing via flashtool..than you can have CWM by flashing custom kernel...again make sure you know which kernel support your firmware version..
For CnT version 3(4.1.2) comes with zip file but for latest ver(4.2.2). its comes with script installer that don't required CWM method..

I also tried many times with these methods but no sucess
But Atlast There is an application called "V ROOT" it will root ur device without any problem
But it will install another superuser app to install supersu
1. Go to play store
2.download and install Super SU
3.Change it into system app
4. Restart your device
5. Enjoy ur trouble free rooting experience
Download V root from google, just type in mgyun vroot and open the first website and click the blue button with the download sign

Are you stupid?
You can't see in forums that Vroot is malware and all threads from xda regarding Vroot were deleted and that's why we use another safe method for rooting.

Anyone got .4?
Curious to see what is different!

@patensas, although I do not know how current this firmware version is, I placed the link of your thread into the firmware thread in order to be stripped from the red warning sign. Is that ok with you?

Sure why not? The thread is named [SHARING] for a reason
And it`s latest from todays OTA

you probably have to go completely back to stock to flash it or wait for baddnewz, football, skydragon, patensas etc etc to upload a custom version ... yes it's 4.4.2 ota

To flash OTA you need the stock rom with stock recovery.

alright so for flashing OTA you must be relocked or locked / not rooted / complete stock with recovery and all. and yeah you can install OTA with the stock recovery provided it is for your MODEL ID AND CID.

OTA = over the air update (firmware update)

well i always relocked my bootloaders. what is your cid ?? i think many major cid in eu got OTA. can you send me the link of the ota?

Do i need to flash the firmware as well as the OTA update? I thought doing the OTA update did both?

Are you trying to root it to stay simply stock rooted? You can use the same method found in the Easy Root thread under the general section.

Oh okay. In that case, download a custom rom of choice, Arter or SkyHIGH kernel, flash the latest twrp 3.0 for the GSM note 5 via odin, full wipe, flash rom and kernel.
Also if you're interested. Follow the steps above but flash this rom instead. It's the latest COKC but deodexed and rooted already,you just need a kernel.

I edited my post.
Basically if you want to stay stock rooted, download a supported kernel like the ones I suggested, find supersu latest beta (google), get twrp 3.0 for GSM note 5, get odin.
Now would be a good time to get an OTG usb drive to keep roms and kernels on as well as backups.
Follow these steps:
Put kernel and supersu on phone or otg
Put phone in download mode and use odin to flash twrp 3.0
Your phone will reboot into twrp.
Make a backup of your entire device in twrp
Flash kernel
Flash supersu
Reboot
You're now stock rooted.
If you just want to flash a custom rom.
Move rom and kernel to phone or otg
Put phone into download mode and flash twrp 3.0
Phone will reboot to twrp
Make a backup of your entire device in twrp
Wipe all but internal
Flash kernel and rom.
How now on custom rom

The kernel will not install root, it just allows root. That's where supersu comes in when you just want to be stock rooted.
To skip all those just flash twrp wroth odin and flash that rom I posted in the link above you quoted of me.

Go to twrp official side and look @ NB1 so you will find the right twrp for your device.
And read the how to do bevor you do anything!
It's important!

Just follow this it will work. After unlocking the bootloader (official or unofficial bl unlock), run the cmd for flashing the official twrp "fastboot flash boot_a twrp-3.2.3-1-NB1.img" & "fastboot flash boot_b twrp-3.2.3-1-NB1.img" then after flashing run the cmd "fastboot reboot recovery", then flash magisk for rooting.

it's really annoying - how do I make a full backup without root? No chance to do a proper backup of apps and data. So annoying!
