I have installed Rom Manager and CWM autoinstaller - but they aren't working. No nandroids, no recovery restart.
Is this normal now, as eveything is kinf of new or am I skipping some important step?
thanks

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?

u need to have root access to install CWM. so get root access first and then install CWM!!

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.

Wel NOW I'm confused. My device IS rooted. ANd I Have installed CWM but everytime I ask to reboot in recovery it won't do it, and won't do nandroids either.
So now I'll wait for more opinions, I'm really trying to NOT unlock bootloader... so if there is a way....

do you know a thread that allows that?
i can see on your sig that your phone's bootloader is already unlocked with kamarush kernel.
i know someone else besides chica who wants to get cwm withou unlocking bootloader.

I'd say that CWM Installer for Xperia does not work on ICS... is there anyone who can confirm this, apart from ChicaAndroid?
Anyway, I suppose that a manual installation should work... maybe :/

Ok, tried it. Didn't work. Maybe I did it wrong. You didn't provide too much info (specially with de ADB file).
Keep in mind, I'm not an expert. Just a noob trying to do things.

Not at this moment no, but it appears that a pre-rooted zip isn't far off.

Is it the latest 4.4.4 for Z2? And is it pre rooted? Which means can I flash this on my locked Z2?

You will likely be waiting some time, because it's possible to downgrade and flash pre-rooted zip or to OTA certain FW's maintaining root, I don't see devs putting a lot of effort into finding an exploit. That said best hope is probably an exploit being found for Z3 which is transferable to Z2, but as I say you may be waiting some time.
So what you recommend to do if i want to have root on 167?

Try to create a rooted update package from the update ftf: [4.4.4] Create ROOTED update package from stock FTF [LOCKED BOOTLOADER]
So I need to flash dual recovery to do that
How can I make a full stock backup just in case I need to use it for warranty?

You don't need, you can flash back an original ftf anytime or repair with Sony PC Companion. We are talking locked bootloadr, so until you don't unlock it, you have warranty.
But if you already have root on prev. firmware, you should install DualRecovery and boot into TWRP and you can backup your system there.

I just bought the phone and I really miss root hehe so if I don't unlock the bootloader I can change recovery and flash a stock root rom without losing warranty?

Yes, if you have older firmware on the phone, you can try the root options available and you can use recovery without unlocking th bootloader. If you have the latest, than you can possibly flash an older firmware to your phone and root that. But you need to read a bit, to understand everything correctly.

Nougat could introduce more issues (e.g. Xposed doesn't work with Nougat as of today... Magisk & SuperSU... who knows?) but in theory steps should be the same...
More: this is unknown to most (and I don't have a clear explanation for it... only some hypothesis...) but even TWRP could have issues...
On another phone I've found (only one time to be honest... ) that an updated firmware required an updated TWRP to have it working (older one simply doesn't booted anymore even if reflashed...)

I don't like OTAs at all... I'll prefer going with flashing full images by fastboot (if stock images) or TWRP (if custom ROMs or zip flashable version of stock images...).
They are safer and cleaner than OTAs...

@enetec
Are you able to restore all the changes you made to /system, to successfully install the next OTA-update?
Or you just reflash the whole stock image before the next ota?

As I said elsewhere, I don't like OTAs at all...
Probably it could be possible to restore all as stock from my backups, but I will surely update (when I'll decide to...) using fastload or TWRP (depending of image formats...) as you said...
