If you only root you can keep your warranty by unrooting. If you unlock your bootloader you will lose your warranty
what i have been told is that we must downgrade to 4.2, root and then upgrade by ota. Which by the moment is no good for me.
how i flash this rom?

Hi
I'm on .510 and I just got done reading through a bunch of rooting threads and had a some questions.
From what I've read you cannot gain root access if you upgrade to .257.
If I root it now, then upgrade to .257, will my root remain intact? I have screen sensitivity issues and want to upgrade, just trying
to find out the best way possible and be able to unlocked my bootloader, and achieve root.

From reading your thread it looks like you lose recovery.

No, I'm on .510 but I got the message to upgrade to .257.
If you're already rooted on .510, install OTA Root Keeper (from the Play Store), then update to 257. You should (if everything goes well) still have root when it's done.
This method (with OTA Root Keeper) did not work in my case.
My Ultra has already rooted, I received the OTA update, but the update refused to install.
Every time I tried to install the upgrade, an unknown error occured and the phone restarted.
Finally, I succeeded to upgrade the software with root using this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46803343#post46803343
hey all, sony xperia noob here, been reading the forums but i hoped you wouldn't mind a quick question. i got a C6802 that has .257 on it, and it still has warranty until late February 2014. is there a way to downgrade without unlocking the bootloader, then root(again, w/out bootloader unlock)), and then update back to .257 and keep root with one of the methods?
or should i not even worry about the warranty? on the phone they said unlocking the bootloader does void the warranty, but you know, they have to say that i'm sure. thing is, i figure there is a chance i could exchange for a replacement if i find any quirks.
thx in advance for any info/advice.

Custom Roms
So it turns out I can't unlock my bootloader but can still use this method to root. Does this still mean that I can flash custom roms on my phone? I was very excited to get cyanogenmod on this beast of a phone, it'll be really disappointing if I can't.
OTA Updates
Will rooting the phone still give me access to OTA updates? And if I do still get them, will updating to Lollipop remove root from the phone?

There is no root exploit for 4.4.4 with locked bootloader yet. You can root a previous fw and flash a pre-rooted 4.4.4 rom in recovery.

There is no way to root that, at least with locked bootloader.
I kind of rushed into this
Just wondering mainly about the 'TA' stuff, from what I read - this will not affect any of that and I can unroot and get it back to warranty standard at any time by flashing, but how would I go about backing up the TA after this has completed?
Also will i lose my google auth app when this has completed because I totally overlooked that when I started and I'm worried now I will be locked out of all my accounts. lol
Thanks guys

Flash back a 4.4.2 firmware with Flashtool, root it, install the dualrecovery from [NUT] and flash a pre-rooted 4.4.4 update from the recovery.

DRM keys are only lost if you unlock your bootloader. Flashing stock ftf does not do that (exclude .ta files and use the same country/provider you bought the phone from)

I was rooted with locked bootloader on an older version of the firmware, having used the EasyRootTool v12.2. I was using the paid version of SuperSU and had selected Survival Mode. I just upgraded to 4.4.4 (resigned to no more root) but much to my surprise I still had root after the upgrade. :good::laugh::good:

Nope only way to root is flash a pre rooted zip and like 4.4.4 there wont most probably be any other way to root. So yes you will have to downgrade to 4.4.2-->Root-->Install Recovey-->Flash pre rooted 5.0

hwlp me out fellas............
Downgrade your firmware to lollipop and root it without unlocking bootloader (because it is possible on lollipop). Then do a backup and after you backed it up flash marshmallow firmware back and unlock it and root again.
