Root Xperia M C1904/1905 on 4.3 with Towel Root [Locked Bootloader]

Here’s a quick guide to root Xperia M C1905/1904 running on 4.3 Jellybean with Towel Root app with locked bootloader. The credit goes to xda member ananthtcr for making a working method that ensures full root. Towel Root is a trending one-click root application developed by GeoHot that got extreme attention because of its ability to root carrier-locked devices such as Galaxy S5 etc.

In this tutorial, we will be guiding you to root Sony Xperia M (single/dual SIM) running on the latest 4.3 Jellybean. You don’t need to unlock your bootloader to achieve root access with this method. Using the Towel Root app alone doesn’t root your phone fully. You can’t edit/delete system files or perform mount operations with that.

In order to fix the mounting error and achieve full root, the developer has created a remount reboot fix which will enable full root power to your Xperia M on 4.3. Partially rooting your Xperia M doesn’t require a computer and it’s pretty easy. But to fix the remount reboot issue, you have to be a computer. Before explaining this method, you can check our previous guides related to Xperia M below.
