You can always unroot, or repair back the phone using pc companion back to like it came from out of the box, SE wont be able to see if it has been rooted.
So root away and use titanium
My advice is to do root as you can revert to the factory whenever you want without problems

For rooting, you will have to unlock your "boot loader" and this will surely void your warranty..!!!
My advice, don't root..!!

You can save the .apk files on your SD card from any app like android assistant, but cannot restore the apps like titanium backup does

You wouldn't know what kind of tools they would use to test to make sure your phone is still valid for warranty, they may as well use an unsigned sin file to test whether you have done stuff on the bootloader.
So my advice is don't do anything yet until you get your phone back from the service centre.

I was talking to my mate actually who knows loads of stuff about SE and the way they work etc and he said the tool they use to check, Emma I think it's called, hasn't been updated since April so they won't be able to pick up anything to do with the BL for now
No, not even with a nandroid backup

Rooting your phone won't defect it from updating to ICS.
Just root your phone.
You can try : [MOD][ICS|GB] DefaultThemes.apk mod like you want.
This is my mod for stock theme manager... Install like normal app After reboot stock themes will restored...

rooting your devices doesn't have any effect on updating using SEUS or OTA but un-locking bootloader does...it will prevent your device from receiving official update from Sony....
anyway you can always lock/re-lock bootloader again in case you want update from Sony....

rooting voids warranty
many people dont root their android because it voids the warranty, and i know you can "unroot" it later on, but still i wouldnt like to mess up with it till my warranty is there. upgrade to ICS or no upgrade, i would stay away from rooting for the time being at least.
so can we get themes for unrooted LwW?
Thanks

Just want to ask guys if it's okay to unlock the bootloader using a custom rom?
Thanks for future answers
Hi,
I'm not sure to understand. You mean that tou want to unlock your bootloader by flashing a custom ROM ?
If so, it's not possible. Depending on your phone, you'll need to unlock your BL manually, via Sony's website or with "test-point method" (there may also be other methods).
If you mean that you want to unlock your phone using a "regular" method, while you're using a custom ROM compatible with locked BL, then I'd answer yes. But you may not be able to access the Sony "hidden" menu to check if it's successful.
Also, your post's title is not very explicit...
Thanks for the reply, but what I mean is I am using custom rom right now with a locked bootloader. And my question is, is it okay to unlock my bootloader even I am not on stock firmware?

Well first you need to know the uses of unlocking a bootloader and also its consequences.
By unlocking your phone's bootloader,you will be able to flash custom kernels to your phone with which you will also get the option of overclocking and underclocking your phone!
BUT
You will lose your warranty and the DRM keys will be lost.
So,if you think that it's great to unlock your bootloader and you don't care about the consequences,go ahead!
Enjoy your phone's true powers then!

You're sure you want to overclock? Because that could even destroy the phone and I guess you have a higher battery draining

Hello, I want to root my XPERIA Z2 but I have never done this before, so I have some questions.
1) If I flash the Recovery used to root, will the stock ROM be affected?
2) After root, will I continue receiving the official updates? If not, how can I update it manually?
3) Can I save the stock ROM to an image for future unroot? How?
4) What do I will lose with root?
To root your Z2 you need to unlock your bootloader and flash a kernel with recovery included of which within you can flash a root zip
Kernel and system are seperate so your rom wont be affected but they do depend on eachother
Root doesent affect anything at all and neither does unlocking your bootloader, you lose nothing at all
You can backup your rom in cwm and restore later, you can also unroot from within the root management app

Does rooting screw up DRM keys or whatever like it did on other sony devices in the past?
I am REALLY thinking about this as my next device, and if I can't root without screwing up the device, I'll be put off.

Think of it like this, your drm keys with Z2 are currently uselss, losing your drm keys breaks nothing, (ive tested this)
(in simple words = almost 0 drawbacks of unlocking your bootloader)
What you should be more worried about is your warrenty/garentee , it is voided when you unlock your bootloader

Unlocking or relocking your bootloader resets your device so you cant realy win
And you cant relock on a custom kernel, it has to be totaly stock

Yes! To root your phone, first, you need to downgrade to rootable firmware which is jb 4.1.2, (there's so many rooting methods that works in that version) then after rooting you can backup ta partition. Search for the procedures and read carefully and follow the instructions, it's all here in xda forum

Hey mate. Z2 can't be downgraded to 4.1.2 as box open firmware is kitkat ...... Aren't you confusing it with Xperia Z or something like that? It is Z2 forum.... not for other. And 4.4 is still rootable no need to downgrade. It just requires you to unlock bootloader.
Sorry! You're right. I just check out. My mistake.
