Here is easy tut how to root Mini/Pro/live/Active on Sony ICS ROM with unlocked bootloader with few steps.
You will need:
1. Flashtool
2. Fastboot drivers
3. Any kernel with CWM
If you have everything let's start.
1. Connect your phone to computer in fastboot mode
2. Open Flashtool and click "Flash" button,select "Fastboot mode" and click "OK"
3. When you done that click on "Select kernel to HotBot" and navigate to any custom kernel with CWM and click "OK"
4. Phone will boot your kernel and during boot process keep pressing "Volume Down" button to boot to CWM
5. If you booted to CWM mount sdcard and download "su-bin-3.0.3.2-efghi-signed.zip" and save it to sdcard
6. In CWM navigate to "su-bin-3.0.3.2-efghi-signed.zip" and install it
7. Reboot your phone and install "SuperUser" app from Google Play Store
8. Enjoy in rooted phone
If you have any question fell free to ask.

I am not going to take any risk. Will wait until a working cwm for locked bootloader will come
What If we do manually? I mean:
1. Run the del_odex.sh with ScriptManager
2. Replace every .apk and .jar with right permissions
3. With Flash Gordon, Wipe Cache and Dalvik
4. Reboot

Odexed roms work faster than deodexed. If you don't plan to modify your rom don't deodex it. Though there are many mods for odexed roms too.
me too i dont wand deodexed but hopefully some developer make a mod for odex too not deodexed only
and how to undo the changes, mate? if for some reason i don't like deodexed firmware, any method to undo it? :fingers-crossed:

Steps (only for bootloader unlocked ZU's running 14.2.A.1.136):
1. Download and copy the latest SuperSU zip to your internal memory/SD card: http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu
2. Download my fixed kernel with dual recoveries from here: https://db.tt/0HagsJRy (The recoveries are taken from @[NUT]'s XZDualRecovery. All credits go to him.)
3. (If you already have 4.3, skip this step) Download and flash 14.2.A.1.136. The FTF's for different models are available in General and Android Development sections.
4. Once the FTF is flashed correctly, flash the downloaded kernel image from Step 2 using this fastboot command: "fastboot flash boot kernel-136-dual.img"
5. Reboot the phone ("fastboot reboot"). When the Sony logo appears and the LED turns violet, hold volume up until you get into Philz Touch [OR] hold volume down to enter TWRP.
6. Flash the SuperSU zip from Step 1.
7. Reboot and you're done.
IMPORTANT: If you use "Xposed Framework", you need this version for it to work on 4.3: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48484642&postcount=6846

It most likely does since I was using a C6833 kernel on my C6802 with no problems. The only difference among the models is the radio; we share the same firmware. Why don't you give it a try and report back?

I don't think so. I have flashed a few cooked (current) ROMs with .254 rooted + CWM. What matters is having CWM to flash the ROM which comes in zip files...In fact, I had to downgrade to .254 in order to root + CWM to flash
so to correct my understanding
ROM in OP is pre-rooted but Kernel in OP is stock kernel without root?
Exactly what are the changes in this FW

No, At least they should've given the exact things they fixed liked the "App Installation Animation is fixed" instead of saying "Various System Improvements". It seems so general

Yes it is.
Did you change anything in the ROM apart from rooting it? There are some files missing compared to my german .201 version. I don't know if there are more files than the bloatware ones, it was just a short look into it.
anyone experience unknown baseband and wifi problem after flashing?
Just downloaded 4.4.2 for XZU C6802, it has 2 files:
C6802 4.4 IN 757 odex ROMflash01.zip (1.02GB)
C6802_14.3.A.0.757_Generic IN kernelonly.ftf (11.3MB)
Questions:
1. Is this a official release? why not in ftf?
2. Why there is a extra kernel there?
3. Do I need to flash both of them? which should flash first?
4. Will it automatically in rooted state after flash?
5. Any other things need to notice?
Current State:
C6802_14.2.A.1.136, Rooted, Unlocked, CMW and TWRP both installed.
THANKS!
You've apparently downloaded a CMW file of the latest update. Why is there a stock kernel in the package? I don't know, but it doesn't hurt to have it. Just flash the ROM, and not the kernel. I assume the ROM has a kernel with CMW/TWRP, but we can't be sure until you try.
Is this the DL that came off a .cn forum?
