1) Give it a try. Should work on all xperia devices.
2) Yes you can. Since xperia go got official jb update and you don't have to unlock your bootloader to install jb, there is no problem. You can backup keys with both ics and jb
3) If you unlock your bootloader you will void your warranty in any case. Backup ta partition will not make you loose bravia engine when after unlocking your bootloader you want to relock it. Won't save your warranty this mod

Thanks for your reply you have cleared all my doubts but another question if i restore the ta partition and relock bootloader i have my warranty back correct?
It doesn't matter afaik restoring ta partition to get back your warranty (maybe I am wrong though). What really does matter is relocking the bootloader.

You can be right(I'm the noob XD) but i have read if you not backup the ta partition your warranty is void. So relocking the bootloader is insuficient, you have to relock bootloader and restore the ta partition .
The tool creator said:"Backup TA can backup and restore the TA partition of the device. When you create a backup before unlocking for the first time, then you will be able to restore to full factory state (including a locked bootloader). This means all DRM keys intact, Bravia Engine working in Album and last but not least your warranty when needed":good:

I already read this thread mate, that's because I told you that I could be wrong.
Ok then, there is no reason for not trusting the tool creator. Just root and use this tool. Save and put keys in a safe folder and enjoy

yep.
Flash a Stock FTF via flashtool (if not on one already)
Flash recovery for locked BL (if wanted/needed)
Use the same too that you used to back up the TA to restore it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292598
Check that it is again locked (test xreality or use the service code that I cant remember)

Hi,
I had the S3 and switched to the Z2 last month. So I am new to the bootloader thing.
Is it right that I can relock the BL by restoring the TA partition for warranty for example?
Or can Sony see that I've unlocked it?
just be sure to backup your TA, and you can go back to your original undetectable state
.....
Hi thx for your reply
So when I restore the TA the BL becomes locked again? Or is it possible without locking it?
And do I need a new backup when I update from .402 to .314 ?

Why do you need unlock at all? Exist root methods without unlocking...
When I want to install a custom kernel for example.
Restoring the Trim Area locks the bootloader.

Does locking the BL wipes data the same as unlocking it?
Yeah m8, re-locking your bootloader will wipe your phone so, as always do a backup first:good:
I want to unlock the bootloader of my Z2 but I'm scared about relocking it with TA Backup. Has anyone tried it? If so, how did you do it?

what? i dont exactly understand, here is some info to clear up some doubts or potentialy answer your question. ;D
if you had a backup of your TA restoring it will relock your bootloader
relocking your bootloader doesnt bring the contents of your TA partition
and for me relocking i used flashtool as i do not have a backup of my TA partition
relocking or unlocking your bootloader wipes your device data so backup your internal storage before doing

You can root and flash recovery without unlocking bootloader but the phone must be s-off.
