I am not sure yet if there is an available CWM for locked bootloaders for ICS 4.0.4.
I already have unlocked bootloader, so I just flashed a kernel with Root and CWM.

So you say if I unlock my booloeader, I WILL be able to use CWM and recovery mode, and make nandroid backups- is that right?

not a problem.
and with an unlock bootloader, you can easily flash zips thru cwm.
there is a some mods available already thru the mod section.

i can see on your sig that your phone's bootloader is already unlocked with kamarush kernel.

I'd say that CWM Installer for Xperia does not work on ICS... is there anyone who can confirm this, apart from ChicaAndroid?

Quick Question : Why would you want to do that?
Answer to the question : Yes You can do it by Flashing A Relock ftf file for your device.
But Locked bootloader will stop the CWM from functioning,
Might leave your device soft brick.
Root has nothing much to do with boot loader lock or unlock. So boot will be present
I hope you find this information useful.
Advice : Do not attempt to lock it with root and CWM.
Correct procedure is to
1. Flash a CLEAN STOCK
and then
2. Flash ReLock

I've decided to root my phone... as far as I know I won't lose my warranty If I'll be rooted right?
So All I want is just root permissions... NO custom ROMS or Kernels.
I am using GB stock 6.0.B.3.184 firmware android 2.3.7
So Do I need to unlock my bootloader to root? Or I can proceed without doing that?
And could someone provide me with link how to root Xperia Sola with GB stock firmware?
Thank's

Also found sources where people are searching for a way to root phone without upgrading to ICS with no luck.

You can root without unlocking your bootloader. Bootloader need to be unlocked only if you want to flash custom kernels or roms like cm9,cm10, miui etc.
You can try this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
Confirmed on the first post that works on sola also. Hope works with gb also

This one says It needs fastboot, so do I really need to unlock bootloader?
How hard is it..? To unlock bootloader, As far as I know it can be done at Sony homepage, Whats the advantage of unlocking it and do it has any cons... already know that it means lost wariaty, and that's a risk.
And finally can bootloader be locked again? To make everything as it used to be?

How did you flash CWM without unlocking bootloader?
And I think the bootloader can only be unlocked only with stock recovery.

You gotta find stock recovery and flash like you did in CWM recovery.

I have unlocked many bootloaders of many MTK devices. The phone will be reboot to stock recovery and format the whole phone after unlocking bootloader. So I said that you need stock recovery.

You gotta find your stock recovery yourself by googling or request approriate one on the forum.
And see this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2163974 to make a flashable zip.
Or try this flashing recovery.img directly using Mobile uncle tools (I am not sure this would work. 50% to work)

Hello
I see you are totally green on this.
Well, im kinda green too, but I have had a lot of help from @xda and now I can manage to do some stuff with my telephone.
The first thing you have to do is BACKUP!!! This is always important.
Well, then lets get to it.
The XPERIA Z2 has a locked bootloader. This means that it cannot flash any roms, custom or other without being unlocked. When you unlock the bootloader, you delete all files on the phone, (don’t ask me how, it just does) and also deletes a partition called TA. The TA-partition contains DRM-keys, to explain that, @Envious_Data might help.
Anyway, when you have root, you can backup the TA, BEFORE you flash any custom ROM, or the ROM with ROOT. That way you will always be able to go back to scratch. Without ROOT on 4.4.4 you need to downgrade to 4.4.3, ROOT and backup the TA-partition before you even start thinking about unlocking bootloader.
(search the XDA, Google (use XDA in the end for XDA results) XDA-TV and you will find tons and tons of stuff. Once you understand some, it will come fast to you.)
I have gathered some threads here for you to read, and I hope this will work for you too.
Start off by reading this
When done, notify me.
All the best

Have had some problems with SuperSU too, but try backup ta.
If not work, try restore phone with PCC.
Then downgrade and try again.

To root the Z2 and get dual recovery on 4.4.2 follow these steps
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/help/how-to-root-firmware-314-t2821619
Then you need to follow the instructions in this thread, it's much easier than what it seems
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/general/4-4-4-creating-rooted-update-package-t2933155
Also, no need to backup TA unless you wanna unlock your bootloader

Backup of TA was just a mention. Also its smart to have it, cuz you might forget it.
Anyway, @xeningti the towelroot should work on 4.4.3, did you try to download the towelroot app from towelroot.com???

Did your phone come with 4.4.4??
Try root with towel on 4.4.3
Send some shots of it.
Hi all,
I am looking for a dump of the recovery partition for the MYA-L11.
I have installed twrp but neglected to take a dump of the stock recovery!
There is an firmware update possibly due for my device so I want to be able to revert to stock when it becomes available.
Thanks in advance.
Edit:
Ok, my bad! Not possible of course, as one would need to be rooted to do this and to root one needs a custom recovery!!
Ok then does anyone know where I can download the stock firmware for this device? I have searched high and low but no firmware yet available!
Found it here thanks to @SGS3_0, again!

U can FLASH TWRP in E-Recovery by FlashTool (look for memory adress in scatter-file).
It is save stock recovery for updates. It'work. I tested.

"Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted ??" - it's just a picture in "logo.bin". I've relaced it to anoher picture... in my "logo.bin".
"and he automatically reboot and same evrything again did" - I haven't this problem. Try to update firmware or re-flash ur phone by SP flashtool...
