I'm glad that this idea works, I also unlocked my bootloader the official way and loss the DRM, track id and OTA, but everything is working now, I got everything work a different way.
BTW you can relock the bootloader by flashing a ftf file, it doesn't matter how you unlocked the phone, just put the phone in flash mode.
Which file you flashed? I see that post but when i open flashtool and try to flash a ftf file there is no loader.bin only preset.ta appears i do not understand why but every time i try it's no loader.sin so i do not do it. Just use s1tool restore and reunlock with test point
I have a file called xperia relock bootloader.ftf, thats how i relock my bootloader before.

Locked the bootloader again.
Will update if any problem occurs in usage or updating.
TESTPOINT method should be used very carefully. better to take some help from another person. when connecting or disconnecting of usb cable is required it should be done from pc, microusb should always be connected to avoid moving the phone while touching the testpoint.

after you install it Run it
now u turn off you mobile and turn it on on bootloader mod ( press back then conect your usb cable)
now the client must read your mobile now tick enable advanced setting ..... then chose the firmware for example 4.0.2.A.0.42 then choose CDA
then the client will download and install the firmware ( now sure it debranded)
after you can root or unlock bootloader as you like
try and tell me
After doing what you've written - and checking the bootloader state = No.

Very Cool. If we are rooted but still have bootloader locked will we be able to use the automated bootloader unlock option? Or does the phone have to be completely stock?
What about those of us already rooted via the method available?
Will your method also unlock the bootloader for those already rooted OR is this method only workable from an Unrooted and Locked beginning point?
Does my question make sense?

I have had the exact same thought process while developing this, and my answer right now is, most likely. I haven't tested what happens if you try to unlock the bootloader when it's already unlocked. If you are already rooted and have a locked bootloader still, this will work. Just remember that unlocking the bootloader resets your ROM to stock (deletes all user data). All this will be tested before release and answered clearly though
Regaw,
Would it be possible to have an alternate version or option that solely does the recovery image? Let's say someone already were able to get SU on their device with the other method but struggled with fastboot, for example. They wouldn't necessarily want to start over with a new, unrooted/stock ROM.
Is this possible or perhaps too remote of a request to be relevant? I'm in that small minority now I guess, lol.. Got tampered screen, got root on phone, but cannot get recovery pushed to it.

Unfortunately, you have to unlock the bootloader before you can flash a recovery, and unlocking erases all user data on the phone anyways. So, you really do have to start over. But this application takes care of everything.
Just tested the process on my OG EVO (I left out the actual rooting/flashing so I didn't ruin my phone ) but the process looks nice and works well

Wait am I understanding this correctly that this will unlock the bootloader and HTC will be none the wiser? Because that would be awesome!

Well, it uses your phone's unlock token (obviously has to in order to unlock your own device), but not your login information to htcdev. Every time you call
Code:
fastboot oem get_identifier_token
the token is randomly seeded (different), so I don't know exactly how "traceable" the token is back to your device.
I didn't want to use htcdev to unlock my bootloader, so I've been waiting for something like this.
very impressive! but you're taking all the fun away, lol

well ur still using HTC Dev with this in a sense...so dont think your avoiding that one...like he said you just dont have to log into it with your account...though if that was your only worry of HTC Dev Unlock then you could just create a fake acocunt on there to unlock the device...
outstanding work though regaw!!
makes it nice for those users that dont wanna mess with fastboot and all...to unlock...

Аfter the update to 4.3 I lost root. I tried with Chinese VRoot_1.7.2 and King android root, but does not work. Before updating I rooted with VRoot_1.7.2.
Any idea how to root?
Unfortunately, I have no answer for you, but as a warning to other people, I will repost a previous post here.
If your current firmware does not have root access, then use the Vroot tool to gain root access. After gaining root access, install SuperSU and turn on its Survival mode and Install SuperSU into /system settings. Make sure the Install SuperSU into /system setting is greyed-out before updating to 4.3 via OTA. Do not update via Sony PC Companion, Sony Mobile Update Service, or by flashing FTF -- doing so will likely cause you to lose root access. That is what happened to many people during the last firmware update. People who had root access with SuperSU installed as described above and updated via OTA, retained root access. People who had root access but updated via Sony PC Companion, Sony Mobile Update Service, or by flashing FTF, lost root access. Luckily, the Vroot tool became available and allowed those people to regain root access. There is no guarantee that the Vroot tool will work with the 4.3 update. Of course, I could be wrong.

Did your vroot 1.7 updated automatically to v1.7.2 ?? mine is trying to update but gets error after a while.. since an hour lets see if it updates successfully to v1.7.2... my model library date is still 130912... I think I'll wait for OTA
Edit**** After many retries I've now landed to V1.7.4... do you guys think I should try to flash and try to root?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588442
It works fine, the guide is a little confused, dont need any backup, just follow the procedure and have the files ready
so basically vroot wont work then?
Actually I tried a lot of one click roots and they failed. And if u remember super su updates one of them was writen in whats new: If u just updated to 4.3 please reroot ur device again so I think that even the OTA will unroot ur device even if u r using survival mode so I think that some body can root using cmd rooting ways ex: Runme.bat files. I was asking if flash tool can root because I has a root function.

The easiest way to root is unlocking bootloader as the link I have put but I dont know if I have the permission to put external link for unlocking bootloader. There is another way but hard and looks dangerous and boring ( u have to downgrade then upgrade then root. Looks dangerous and complicated)

Did you start with 4.3 and downgrade, or can you simply root the 4.3 without downgrading? I have 4.3 installed and it seems like a hassle to downgrade to 4.1.2, root, upgrade to 4.3. Which may not even be possiple, because I used sony companion tool to upgrade to 4.3?
Hello.
I have wondered about unlocking bootloader and go over to CM on my Xperia Z2.
But before i do so, i want to clear up some things first.
Is there a way to relock bootloader on my phone?
Will I be able to unlock after I have relocked? (using official metod)
Backing up TA, will it store my DRM-keys and make it possible to get them back after locking bootloader again?
I want to do this because im currently using CM on my Mini Pro, and i want to try it on my Z2. And I want to be able to get back to stock when the L is out for Z2.
If someone can answer my questions, or point me to the right direction, I would be much happy.

1. Yes, using flashtool, other methods i dont know of
2. Yes
3. Drm keys are in TA partition so backup your Ta and restore later (restoring relocks bootloader so flash stock kernel before doing so)
4. Relocking bootloader doesnt bring back drm keys
5. Its safe to restore TA over a locked bootloader
6. You can only restore TA or relock bootloader on a stock kernel
Answers to your queries :
1) Yes, you can relock it once it is unlocked. Restoring TA partition will also relock your bootloader.
2) Yes you can.. You need to have the oem unlock key which you have received from Sony while unlocking for the first time.
3) Yes

OK, thanks for the quick answer.
Here is a short of what I understand now. Correct me if its wrong.
Using this tool, I can backup and restore TA.
When restoring TA, it will lock bootloader automatically.
To restore TA, I have to download and flash stock ROM for Z2 (Nordic in my case), and that should be ok to use XPERIFirm to download?
When done restoring TA, I dont have to do more than wait for L to come to me??
I hope this is right, in that case I might give it a try.
(I dont want to start something without planning a way out of it, thats why I ask.)

One more thing. The key for unlocking my bootloader, is it the same after locking it again???
Or do I have to ask Sony for a new one?

Have you got an idea how to enable double tap to wake?? Cannot find it anywhere.
if you have installed a custom rom like CM then the chances of the kernel not having the double tap to wake wont be there because its the kernel that will have it and not the rom . So if you do want it then you have to look for a kernel which has got the feature
bjorn96 said:

After installing m5 kernel, download m5 kernel settings, thats how you enable double tap to wake
It should show an option somewhere in the device settings now

It depends on the carier and i do believe you can pay for sim unlock and a bootloader release

Already payed for sim unlock, the phone was locked to EE UK. Here's a SS to see what it says on rooting status. When i unlocked it, they provided me multiple codes, NCK, SPCK, NSCK, CCK. Is any of the codes for bootloader unlocking? If so, where do i type it? Cheers.

My Z2 should be here on Tues, and I was going to unlock the BL, the directions above are very clear and straightforward. (I had a TMO XZ w/ an unlockable BL, so I know how the rom flashing goes) My question is do I have to use Nutz recovery, could i just fastboot flash recovery twrp.img and use Team Wins? Also for flashing a ROM do I need to use the FFT or can I just flash a rom the more traditional way say like a Nexus device? Thx guys, Im very green when it comes to Sony. Nexus, HTC, and Sammy are my staples. Thx again.
Nut is mainly for locked bootloaders, once you've unlocked the bootloader flash a kernel such as dooms via adb then flash a rom from recovery ftfs are stock roms only any custom rom will have a flashable zip

So you can unlock the bootloader, then relock it, restore TA partition and it will be like you never had unlocked the bootloader? I mean, if you do that, your device will be able to recieve OTA (and all Sony's features like x-reality and better camera performance) and your warranty will be "restored"?
Hi,
A couple of days ago I tried to root my xperia m4 because I want to remove those annoying paid apps you can't remove without rooting. But I genuinely tried EVERYTHING! But nothing would work. The first problem I ran into was unlocking my bootloader, wich I could not do. I followed a lot of different guides but none of them worked. Below are a few links of the guides I followed:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/m4-aqua/general/guide-rooting-xperia-m4-aqua-t3407215

I found a lot more "guides" but they were too sketchy if you ask me.
If someone is willing to help me, I would really appreciate it!

Go to the dialer and type in *#*#7378423#*#* until it pops ups the Service Info,then press Configuration and check for Rooting Status: Bootloader Unlocked,it should say Yes,if it says No then this is the reason any of the bootloader unlocking methods did not work and unfortunately you cannot unlock the bootloader.
And what error does it exactly say when you try unlocking? Make sure you have OEM unlocking and USB debugging on in the Developer Options.

I guess there's no way to unlock it, otherwise it would have worked I guess.
Theoretically you can use dirty cow exploit (stock kernel must be affected) to get temp root, after that you can get permanent root.

"Dirty cow exploit"? Never heard of that before, quite a funny name for an exploit if you ask me. I'll ask my good friend Google if he knows anything about this exploit. Thanks for letting me know!
And how exactly could I get a permanent root when I have a temp root? Can't find any information about it.

He can't unlock his bootloader
For a guide to unlock your bootloader using flashtool CLICK HERE.
Do that before attempting to root your phone as you wont be able to root as this is the first step and is compulsory

Quick question in command prompt could he still flash a modified supersu boot.img for m4 with the locked bootloader (i've not had a device with unlock-able bootloader) is that possible ?

Since I'm not really experienced with this stuff, using an advanced exploit like the dirty cow exploit is probably not going to happen. But I am going to buy a new smartphone in the near future, this time I will buy one that can be rooted.
Thanks everyone for your help!
