Like the Title said I want to know if this device:
Sony Xperia Z
Model: C6603
Android version: 4.3
Build-Number: 10.4.1.B.0.101
bootloader unlock allowed no
Is this thing rootable?
If it is rootable is there any Guide to root it? ( if possible please a link? )
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/development/guide-how-to-root-101-firmware-lb-t2656698
There's a whole forum for your phone there. If you have time, do some reading. There are lots of cool things to do. If you plan on modding your phone more than just rooting it, you should get familiar with how to use the Flash Tool. There's a Sticky in the Development forum for your phone about it.

Come on now, you can't really expect users to read things like the stickys.
My preferred method is the test point btw.
As me as a noob face difficulties rooting Xperia s as I see:what: so I request any XS dev to prepare a step by step guide as you did on updating the Xperia s to ics. We need it

Just Telling "use search button" to people with new thread isnt helpful and doesnt solves our problem, Clean your eyes look carefully "Step By Step guide" ? Can you see that, okay now put it in the search button- if you get what you want you are a genius. If no then you know what you are

Hey Sorry Sweetlover but:
If you don't understand how to use search-button and if you are incapable to find a solution in this forum and if you don't understand the instructions in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1754429, you are probably incapable to root your device.

OK. I'm also a noob, but I rooted my xperia s (with locked Bootloader) last week with this solution:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1754429
If you read through the first post completly you will find the following phrase:
"Guide:
Before you root your device, your device must running Gingerbread. Flash it back to Gingerbread if your device are running Ice Cream Sandwich Open Run.dat and it will lead you through the process"
If you are on ICS you have to flash black to Gingerbread with Flashtool. Here the link to the Flashtool thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1588586
And here the link to the xperia s firmware thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1599303
There is no simple root-method at the moment, perhaps later, I don't know. Keep in mind: This is a new device and the development of a dedicated root-method keeps a lot of time. Please take a look at other threads and read through. Collect as much information as possible.

If you are planning to downgrade for rooting or otherwise is it good to factory reset your phone before flashing stock ROMs?

Just wipe userdata in flashtool.

I had done that. When using the flashtool I had kept that option checked but when I did successfully (no errors messages in flashtool) flashed and downgraded to GB from ICS, I was not able to download any apps from play store. I was also unable to login into google chat. I was able to use my gmail app without any issues though. Is this normal?
I did xda and google search on this issue about not being able to login to google chat etc, almost 90% of them said that you have to remove your primary google account which is not possible to do unless you root or do a factory reset.
Not sure where to place this thread, considering that there's just a xperia S questions forum and not for the U.
Back to subject I'd like to ask some questions:
how can i debrand the xperia U?
How to root it?
I'm asking this cause i've been unable to locate any other thread about it, and any help would be helpful.
thanks

did you read what i post? seriously I don't like ppl who always say "use the search forum", if a person can't find something it's bcause the search criterias are different from the ones stored on the database.
Well i dont know about debranding but rooting can only be done with unlocked bootloader and custom kernel.
You will be able to find tutorial thru search

The simplest way for me, is if you read the stickies and the current threads.

The only reason I stepped up in that thread is the root guide that is stickied is out of date after OP being banished. Hate to see anyone downgrading to root and all when it isn't needed.

I don't think it says to down grade does it? I'll have to re-read it.
Edit: Well it sort of does, but the next paragraph says that it is no longer needed...
We will need a new one when L comes along...
