Super user is installed on your phone on default. I guess you can try flashing a kernel as that was how i got my root. Zerg rush and other methods dont work for me either

Check voodoo if backup is still present
If present, go to software update to install OTA.
When followed this step by step you're on the new firmware with root.
And as usual, everything at your own risk.
Thanks. It's nice with a complete rooting tutorial with links in one place One question though; do we lose everything when we're downgrading to .532?
i don't get it why do i need to change my cda to install OTA when i receive for my own cda country.

My documents and photos are on a sdcard, with some back up of apps. When google acount is created all apps are downloaded automatically, so i don't bother loosing...

Off course you can use in this case your own CDA.
(I tried to write it in such a way that somebody with minor knowledge is able to do this faultless.)

Well, it's clearly not necessary to change your CDA if you've already received the OTA.

Alright. I don't care if i lose stuff. I got it all "up in the cloud", so no biggie.
Alright, all i have left is to update to 257 again, but i only have 33% battery left and it's not possible to do it unless i have at least 50%. Just typical Everything else went smooth, and i didn't have any issues
Edit: I'm done updating, and i got root
Edit 2: Hah! I tried using Sony's own backup app before downgrading and everything, feeling that the backup wouldn't be there after the full wipe, but it is indeed there and i have some game saves and stuff there! Awesome!
Germany is using C6833. Is it compatible with C6802?
Noob question: can I flash the C6833 FTF ver 532 on my C6802? I can not find the FTF for 532 Vietnam version, the 510 VN got bootloop and the Generic TW have many Chinese software that I don't like

I don't know, I've C6833. Be adventurous When it's not working correctly you can always flash back. In the generic TW version you can always delete the chinese software, one of the pros of root
Can voodoo keep root after update with Desktop PC Companion?

No.
Its called OTA root keeper for a reason...
thanks for posting these steps in a simple straighforward way! i did them with no issue whatsoever, and have root on .257. i have a 6802 and used the .532 for 6802 from Hamdogg's thread, and i didn't even have to mess with CDA/build.prop... the OTA was already there, and installed without issue.
one question: do i need the SuperSU from the market, as described in the Vroot thread, or did i not need to download that, since there is already a Superuser installed to /system/app?

You don't need SuperSU, but it's a trusted app that works great. The chinese root app? Not so much.

ahh ok. when i had them both installed, it seemed to default to the Chinese one. i deleted the chinese one from /system/app and it seemed to mess up my root... so i just got done doing it over again, lol.
right now i have just the chinese one but perhaps I'll install SuperSU as well. i did get an error when opening an app called Kinguser, but otherwise root explorer and titanium have worked fine. thanks

SuperSu has a feature to remove previous installations from other superuser apps. This works great, and also fixes the binary.

Mine was originally 532 rooted with vRoot, followed the above steps to replace SuperSU and change CDA (1275-9413 >> 1275-8026, R8A >> R11A, 442 >> 436), , but I'm not receiving OTA updates, PCC does have the .257 updates though.... any clue??

No, Just standaard version. Look for reinstall, even doing this it should prompt you.

Thanks, but I'm not sure why, but this link is not working for me in firefox, chrome, or internet explorer. I would really appreciate if you can upload it to xda? I already unlocked the bootloader, but since I have Android 4.3 I need the latest Supersu, and the version I have currently will not root my htc one .

I didn't mean "completely" in a way that it's unusable, but you only get root access via ADB, since SuperSU will not work. So that sucks :/

Quick question. How do I update using this file since it is a .cfg? Will this still work using odin, or do i have to update using a different method?
Thanks

You can try to rename this to : "update.zip" w/o quotas and update from stock recovery or HERE you got ADB sideload files. If i remember correctly bout ways you will wipe your devices , so make backups of whatever you got important on your phone.
Good luck

It gives you twrp error 7 right? Simple, you don't have to upgrade twrp, just extract the ROM and then: go to Meta-Inf, then google then android then open updater-script and delete the first 2 line, repack the ROM and flash it... Hope it'll help...
