ok so what if it is activated on a phone, how to totally deactivate it on f or example Z2?
Will rooting and flashing another ROM work to totally deactivate it? Sony ROM can then be flashed later back onto the device to eventually get rid of the demo mode. Will this logic work?

Yes the logic might work and if you have root u can remove the retail demo app and demo contents in your memory.

It's a Z2

Please post in the correct device forum in future, this is the Z3 forum. I will move your thread now.

You probably want to go to the store where you bought the phone.
Well that's what I would do.

Back up & Restore apk needed

I need a back up & restore apk for xperia sola because I installed a rom last year and for got to back it up
now I need it to root my phone because it got unrooted on it's own for no reason.
so, I appreciate some help ^^
If you haven't backed it up there is nothing to restore.
What exactly are you looking for? Just type bacup restore on Play Store.

No need to go that far. It's in the ROM FTF and it's easy to extract anything you need from it.

[GENERAL HELP] Post Your Questions Here Instead of Making a New Thread

Many people are joining xda on daily basis. Some of them join the forum to get custom ROMs while some join in order to get some of their problem that they are facing with their phones solved.
There are dedicated threads for ROMs but what about HELP/QUESTIONS??
People generally straight away start a new thread to get their doubts solved. But this can lead to chaos in the forum.
I'm creating this thread as an alternative to *New Threads* that aim to resolve a question.
Not only this, this thread can also become a Database kind of place where people can look if their question is already solved or not...
I request all members of the XPERIA M4 sub-forum to help and answer some questions posted here if they can.
I hope you guys get the idea behind this thread...

Not sure which handset you have - Xperia Blog has some FTF firmware files and a guide linked to here.

[Q] incoming call monitoring

I have done a factory reset on my phone and have also updated the OS from 4.1 to 4.3. however, someone is still able to remotely see who is calling my phone. Is this something someone can do without having any software on my phone?
I have heard about this app somewhere. But can't remember at this time.

An app name mspy might be installed on your device. If you have rooted your device and have a custom recovery then wipe your device with it and install custom/stock rom or go to the Sony centre and tell them that you need a deep clean hard reset they will do it. If you are ready for custom roms then you may find them in xda.
