How to connect external hard drive to my Z Ultra - Sony Xperia Z Ultra

I was trying to connect my 1TB external hard drive to my Z Ultra using the USB OTG, but I keep getting this message:
"USB storage empty or file system not supported"
Any way I could connect it without rooting the phone?
If it's impossible then please give me a link of the fastest way to root my phone (v 4.3 build number 14.2.A.1.136)
Thanks

There might be others if this doesnt work or you need to be rooted for most of the apps to work.
As far as I know Xperia Z ultra supports Usb OTG out of the box

So basically you though deleting build.prop will make all applications show up and become supported?
The build.prop carrys properties like the wireless interface, android version, device info, audio links, module properties and etc.
Remember, bad idea to delete the build.prop.

I read somewhere that Doomlord had made a kernel which allows bootlooping which is required to dual boot the phone.!!!
If someone knows a good developers than we can ask him, do anyone?

The easiest VRoot just came out as new version 1.7.2.4200.
Can somebody please tried with the latest 14.1.B.2.257 and confirm?

Worked fine on my c6806. I bricked mine after rooting previously. Managed to restore it. Had to re-root 2 days ago, did so on the latest version of VRoot and worked perfectly.

The Google translation of the changelog:
1, the new system supports the use of 4.3 Samsung S4 (eg I9500, I9505, I959 and other models)
Not promising...

it doesn't work on 257.
Can you downgrade firmware on Sony to a version below .257 and root? I have the c6806 and would love to root but I don't think a firmware lower then that exists for US version?

Great. I WISH I didn't update to 257. Now I've lost root. I've got a locked bootloader and refuse to unlock it.
Now those having a locked bootloader are not able to root at this time.
