did you back up your TA?
did you unlock the bootloader?
If the answer to the above is No the you will have to do the process again.
If Yes to the first only the then unlock the BL
Now flash a recovery and the 'SuperSu update' from recovery

My device did have an unlocked bootloader, but I relocked it. My phone is rooted. I've not had any luck unlocking the bootloader again though the SE website.

Reqeuest new unlock key, but this has nothing to do with the recovery! If you have an locked bootloader it is normal that this wont work.
Regards
I tried a new unlock key just then. Does not seem to be a way to unlock again, after relocking.

after re-unlock bootloader Clockwork recovery works fine
P.S. Or re-unlocking or recovery wipe my data = factory data reset :|
Hmm after boot i dont have a lock screen, power menu shows only one option "switch off", meybe reflash help
OK after reflash 3.0.1.A.0.146 (wifi fix) from WotanServer everything looks OK (missing root
P.S. How enter into recovery ? Power + Vol down ??
Does this work on Arc??
To operate the bootloader has to be unlocked?
If so if we can not enter locked fastboot mode and can not do anything. Is there another option?

Creating recovery worked fine. Wiping caches worked fine. Stock Neo ROM does not automount ext2. Creating ext2 partition in recovery worked, but my phone did not find it on sd card after booting.
That is on 2.3.3 of course which has kernel to support ext2/3/4.
Discovered how this recoveryNeo.img CWM is even more awesome.
I messed around with partitions with Minitool and fdisk. Both caused the sd card to become unmountable, even with fdisk showing info about it as:
c Win95 FAT32 (LBA)
This CWM either restored partition table or did something else, but it fixed what i have yet no idea how to do it manually.
This Kernel is repacked from kernel in C6833 14.2.A.1.136 Germany.
It should work for C6802 C6833 and C6806 14.2.A.1.136.

I am currently on stock .136fw LB and unrooted.
Should I follow the below steps and upgrade to .136 rooted;
1.Flash .532 ftf
2.root .532
3.back up TA
4.Unlock Bootloader
5.Flash .136fw c6833 ftf (even though I have c6802) or do I need to first flash .290 ftf?
and then follow ur tutorial in this thread.
Please clear step 5 for me is it necessary to go to .290 first or can flash .136 ftf directly?

other than the fact they may want a backup of the TA for warranty or to have xreality at some stage, and to backup the TA they need root...
Is it possible just to hotboot from flashtool this 136.img and flash SuperSU
^^ you will only have partial root without ric disabled kernel (unless manually enabling sys r/w some other way after boot) (if you are asking whether you can just boot this instead of flashing it)

It's Sony's security/ protection on the system
With RIC disabled the system is always writable... so is rootable

I think something is wrong with my phone. I have tested that the BL is unlocked:
$ sudo ./fastboot -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
...
FAILED (remote: Device is already rooted)
finished. total time: 0.004s
$ sudo ./fastboot -i 0x0fce flash boot 136.bin
sending 'boot' (16800 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.530s]
writing 'boot'...
FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
finished. total time: 0.533s
I've power cycled the phone a few times and still no luck
thanks for any ideas

thanks, that worked. pretty much proves how much of a noob I am to xperia Z series unlocking and rooting.
p.s. the key to success was using flashtool in windows; for some reason flashtool on linux said the device was not unlockable! That was almost certainly a false negative, but also using fastboot on linux appearing to be successful was also failing. sigh.

Hi guys,
I got a bootloader unlocked ANE-LX2J and I want to lock it again but I dont know the next step.
I still have the bootloader unlock code and already flashed FULL OTA using TWRP and did factory reset.
So now, my P20 Lite is running pure stock again and ready to be locked right? or still not lol :silly:
Based on what I read here, after relocking bootloader using fastboot oem relock command, the warning/alert that shows when the device is booting is still there and I want to get rid of it.
Thanks :highfive:

Yes, you're ok to relock your bootloader if all partition and recovery are stock and your device is working without issues. After relock the recovery will do Factory Data Reset and no more warnings "your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted"
Boot into Fastboot&Rescue Mode and use this command:
Code:
fastboot oem relock [I][B]yourcode[/B][/I]
Then you enter into Lock Bootloader menu and just follow the instructions.
YES -
NO -

it will show a red text saying your system has been tampered with and turn off..
you will need to restore a completly stock rom with sdcard before you can boot the phone.
Hi there!
Today have flash into Pixel Experience ROM with TWRP.. to be honest I'm not satisfied at all with this ROM and there are some issues going arround.. I would like to return to the stock ROM (Android One) if its possible..
I've downloaded one ROM from http://c.mi.com/oc/miuidownload/detail?device=1900372 and maybe i can flash it with fastboot but if it not possible probably it will brick..
Its possible to return it to the original/stock ROM? How?..
Please, i will really appreciate your support.
Kind regards!

Sounds like you used "flash_all_lock.bat". Boot up the phone and enable OEM unlocking in developer settings and try to unlock the bootloader in fastboot again.

I think when flashing the rom you were in slot b and plus you have locked the bootloader. Now its not possible for you to flash or unlock bootloader, you have to go to service center. I have faced the same problem, and i took to service center and they fixed it. They told me that they had to take out the back panel.
