No,If u unroot your phone, u can use your custom Rom, it would not take back to stock Rom. Btw, why do you want to unroot your phone?
But if u relock bootloader, then u can't use or install any custom Rom. Your phone wouldn't boot with relocked bootloader having custom Rom & custom kernel installed

Because I lost my warranty when i root it. I thought to unroot it, and they won't notice.
And when they prepare it, i'll root it again.

No! If u unroot it, still your warranty is lost..
They always check the phone's bootloader status & if u relock it, still they would know about it as the bootloader screen would show "relocked" instead of "locked" . They determine everything by bootloader ,so if u unroot it still your warranty is lost, they do not check the supersu or rooted phone. They always check bootloader status.
Still u can try, only your luck can save your warranty.(1% chance)

[Q] Need Root - Confirmation Pls

Been reading the guides but I need confirmation. Pls correct me if I'm wrong.
my goal is to get ROOT on the stock ROM and the ability to unroot if needed.
In order to obtain root, I must:
- Unlock bootloader
- Install CWR
- Apply the Superuser file or install a custom ROM with root
If I go through this method, can I reverse everything? Like re-locking the bootloader, remove CWR, and unroot?
Am I missing something simple just to simply root the device? Pls advise. THX in advance.

Rooting part is correct.
To unroot, relock bootloader and flash the stock ROM. Simple as that.

Thanks for the confirmation. Will prepare to root now.
There's a but..
If you want to relock it it will say Relocked and not Locked like how it came from the factory.
Wait....I sent this with Tapatalk?

Some questions from a newbie.

Hey guys I have some questions. First of all I own an sk17i with ics. I had locked the bootloader and flashed ics now I wanna unlock it again, should I do this via the official way or via test method. If I unlock the bootloader will everything be deleted? And if I flash a custom kernel will I be able to flash super charger script?
*sorry but I am a newbie!

If you do it with official method, you will lose your warranty, if you do it with tespoint method, you can unlock and relock and sony won't recognize, so your warranty is keepen up!
Here is the official method of sony, where you will loose your warranty.
Here you will find information on unlocking without loosing drm keys.
Unlocking the bootloader will delete all personal data, so do a nandroid backup via cwm before, so you can restore your current rom later.

If you've previously unlocked the bootloader, then RE-locked it, you need to use the official method again.
You can use the same key to unlock it as before.
Unlocking bootloader does not affect any system or data files. So no, you don't loose any data.
V6 supercharger script requires init.d. Stock kernel doesn't support that ability unless you install it.
Anyway, you can install V6 with any kernel supposedly it supports init.d.
As far as I know, every custom kernel has support...

I do not have cwm installed and that's why I want to unlock bootloader. I have unlocked via official way so I think I should unlock it again via official way.

So the apps will not be deleted? Cause the other man said that everything is gonna be deleted:S Please tell me man. I will unlock bootloader via official way, then I will install a custom kernel and finally I will install super charger
EDiT: you loose data partition so do make a backup
You can easily find a backup app on the market.
After that, you can flash a custom kernel and install V6
Official unlock method makes factory reset, so yes, you lose all data.
Thank you guys! when I will finish everything I'll tell you

[Q] Rooting Xperia JB - Will this work?

Hi,
As we all know unless we downgrade and stuff, or install custom recoveries (which require some hackeries) we can't root the latest firmware.
I came across this method: http://whiteboard.ping.se/Android/Rooting
It uses the original boot.img and edits it then using fastboot it flashes it with the su binaries and security turned off.
Would this work on our Xperia?
Thanks
Probably, but you'd need to unlock your bootloader...
That kind of defeats the purpose. I'm trying to not do that
I want to be able to install OTA updates and support.
You can alway relock back once rooted. By that, you can OTA update safely and keep rooting

Ok so if I follow that guide to get root, unlock bootloader, flash the new boot, and relock bootloader, I will be able to install OTA?
Won't that brick my device since I have a modified boot.img?
In order to relock the bootloader you must firdt change back to a stock kernel, otherwise you will brick the phone, wich luckily is recoverable...
Even if yo relock on custom kernel, you will also can enter in fastboot mode to flash stock one

Root with Kingroot Z5C

it is possible to root with king root
or i need flashtool etc..?

I suggest you read a bit more on rooting your device. I don't think you're ready yet.

then read, like everyone

Easiest way to root and some questions.

So read this thread [Guide] Safe bootloader unlock, restore DRM, custom recovery, root, bootloader relock
Is this the easiest way to root as it appears complex(sorry not very technically minded).
Also once rooted will I be able to update the tablet or it becomes impossible please?

No, easiest way to root is to unlock bootloadrer and flash custom rom or root stock by flashing twrp, kernel, and supersu.
You need drm keys in case if you want to get back unrooted stock.so do you really need them? In order to restore drm functionality on rooted device, use universal drm restore patch.
With unlocked bootloder, to update custom, use twrp, to update stock, use flashtool.
