Hey guys!
One more question: Is it possible to root my Xperia Go without unlocking the bootloader? So I could do root without losing warranty, is not it?
And if it fails to root without unlocking the bootloader, there is possibility of transferring the Xperia Home 7.0.A.0.14 for my Xperia Go without root?
Thanks and sorry for my bad English
You must be root to change your Xperia Home, and about root, there's a DooMLoRD exploit root method somewhere, just use search button

Any android device can be rooted without unlocking the bootloader, but if you root your device, you will loose your warranty.
(According to Sony terms and Conditions)
Use flashtools for rooting and unrooting.. Without concerning bootloader.

Hello =)
1.Yes Root is possible and CWM i think thats too possible
2.Yes and No, because u must unlock your bootloader via some tutorial here or on SE dev site but !No with tespoint metod! (When you unlock bootloader via testpoint you cant re-lock it)
3.Try this i think you can unlock bootloader without loosing DRM keys http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1285285 (Y its for arc but it works on neo too)
4.A lot of things =) You can overclock your device (up to 2.0ghz) you can flash custom rom,etc.
5.Yes
Root without unlocked bootloader yes it is too possible try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1321582

Hey,
I have brought a new Neo V and i wanted to unlock it. my question is should i unlock it by Using Official method or by s1tool method. As the Official method is much safer what are its cons? as i am a bit worried to do it via s1tool method as i am new to bootloader unlocking. Please help me.

I will recommend the official method. Here,you will lose DRM files. But,from my view ,they are of no big use at all
On the other hand,the s1 tool doesn't exploit the DRM files,but a small mistake could brick your phone.
you choose

yes you can.. this wont affect warranty..google DRM..for eg. like track info
Better go on with official method..
Unlocking your phone via the official way would result in losing of your DRM keys.. This won't allow you to use Sony 's official apps like track id.
And furthermore you won't be able to update your phone via OTA or SEUS..
But you don't worry about them as we have solutions here on xda!
There are more cons in the official way but still I recommend you to use this method as it easy than s1 tool and would involve less chances of damaging your device!
Cheers!

See I recommend you to first unlock your bootloader and then root it!
Without unlocking your bootloader, you can't directly root. 62 firmware!
But after unlocking it you'll be able to root your device via fastboot by flashing the recovery neo. img
And to save your time, flash a custom kernel instead.. They are pre rooted and comes with CWM!

Hi,
today I get my xperia z2. I want to root it, but I can't find any instruction. I can unlock bootloader but I don't want to do it, because I will lose some features like xreality or camera(?). Is it possible root z2 w/o unlocking bootloader now?
Greetings,
jxx17.

Right now there is no way to do this.
I have a couple questions to ask about rooting this device.
I have a UK model with unlockable boot loader. Everything stock on the device.
1. Is there a root out yet that doesn't require unlocking the boot loader?
2. Can I root without voiding my warranty?
3. Can I easily unroot and leave no indication of it being rooted, to make a warranty claim if ever needed?
4. Do mobile banking apps still not work on rooted devices?
5. Does rooting slow down your device?
Thanks in advance

1. Yes there is a full root thread on the Original Development forums for the Z2
2. No, your warrenty will void with root however removing and flashing a stock FTF it will restore your warrenty as your Z2 no longer contains modified content
3. You can unroot via the app and there will be noticable changes unless you used root to modify but then you can flash a stock firmware
4. They should. Very few apps actualy check for root
5. Rooting does not slow your device
Info can be found here

Thank you
Also is there a tweaksbox/Xposed style app for the Z2?

Almost all Xperia 4.4 xposed/modkits/etc work for any Xperia with 4.4 KK aka Z2 with 4.4

So I can root without unlocking boot loader, and then just unroot to restore warrenty if/when needed?
I have looked through some threads and a little confused about if the phone has to be downgraded to root? The build number ends in .402, so can I root easily?
Thanks again, I do appreciate you taking the time to help me
Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk
Yes you can root without unlocked boooader as of posting this
You can restore warrenty by removing root
I think you can stay on 402 to root, not sure, look at doomlords thread in original development

I never ended up rooting my device, but decided now is the time.
I am on 17.1.1.A.0.402
Bootloader is unlockable, but currently locked (and will be staying that way.).
Does anyone know if there is a way I can root it without unlocking bootloader and without downgrading firmware?
Thanks in advance

yes you can root easily now with locked bl (thanks to all the devs that contributed btw), you can upgrade to .314 and root that easily too, you can then restore ftf to stock and keep warranty. or you can also root, then backup TA, then unlock BL and do whatever you like. you can restore that TA backup later to get locked bl again and restore ftf to stock and keep warranty.
Thanks guys.
Is there any super simple step by step guides for doing this?

Before you root, you should read the threads in the dev section as potentially you are unleashing a beast which can brick your device.
