Hi all, coming from IOS I find all this rooting / bootloader unlocking etc quite confusing as apparently there are some restrictions when wanting to go back to the stock (non-rooted) rom.
So here is my question:
I know relocking the bootloader is quite a specific job, I won't touch that.
As far as I know, if you only want to root the stock rom, you don't need to unlock that bootloader. Is that right?
As I'm on .62 with my mini pro, I need to downgrade to an older version, root it and then do an OTA upgrade to .62 again. I will keep my root then.
My question is: can I revert to a non-rooted version easily?
I still want to be able to test the upcoming ICS version.
I don't want to loose DRM etc, but as I understood this has nothing to do with rooting your device, only with unlocking the bootloader. Right?
Can this be confirmed?

No, you dont need to unlock yout bootloader yo get root. Rooting your device will have to affect with the bootloader and DRM is only removed from unlocking the bootloader. You can easily un-root your phone if you use Doom Lord's root method as he gives a file to unroot.
Thx for the info!
Or you can flash .58 firmware again and root will be gone,
Hello, I want to know how I can unroot my cell phone but I don´t understand when you say something about "Doom Lord's root method". I couldn´t find this in the forum. Can you tell me something about this method? Or can you explain me about how to unroot my Xperia Mini Pro.
PD: I am from Argentina and I have a SK17a.

Hi all,
I am completely new to all this, I am on Stock firmware and locked bootloader.
1) Is it possible to root my phone without unlocking bootloader? If yes, then please provide a link for that
2) What is the fastest method for rooting at present? (Any one-click rooting apps/software?)
I am on stock latest 4.4.4 firmware (India)
Thanks in advance

you WILL HAVE to unlock bootloader to get root
there is no other option for moto e
for rooting download twrp recovery and give this command in fastboot
fastboot flash recovery <file name>

Hello guys, can someone explain me if i can use an old rom with the new bootloader ?
If not, did i need to flash the rom with the newbootloader before or after the update of it ?
Thanks you !
If you upgrade your device to new bootloader you are not be able to boot with old BL ROMs unless you flash old BL(very dangerous can brick your phone) or go back to OOS 2.2.3.
If you are on old BL you need new BL to use new Roms with new BL..BL upgrade is one time process after that you do not need to flash BL again and again.unless you go back to old BL.
I wanna use this tutorial to get a root with Locked Bootloader. http://forum.xda-developers.com/m4-aqua/development/root-xm4aqua-e2303-bolek-t3340399
This is only for 26.1.A.3.111 mine is right now on 26.3.A.1.33.
