TRY ROOTING WITH THIS .FIRST if your on e2306 download version .112, then download the rootkit.- h t tps://www.dropbox.com/s/edse0h6b02odzn1/rootkitXperia_E23xx.zip?dl=0.
INSTAL ADB THEN GO INTO ABOUT PHONE, TAP BUILD NUMBER , GO TO DEVELOPER OPTIONS AND TURN ON USB DEBUGGING THEN PLUG IN TO YOUR COMPUTER AND RUN THE INSTALL FILE.
after install download TWRP LOCKED BOOTLOADER FOLLOW HERE -http://forum.xda-developers.com/m4-aqua/development/bl-locked-twrp-touch-recovery-bl-locked-t3257430
IF IT DOES NOT WORK TRY ROOTING WITH MY OTHER METHOD.
I figure out how to root all m4 aqua that have locked bootloader and cant be unlocked like mines. it actually very simple and i dont know why no one thought of it but first you have to use flashtool and download ftf thats fits your memory
8gb m4 aqua flash this version using flashtool does not matter what version your is unless it the 8gb model --LINKh t t ps://drive.google.com /file/d/ 0BzVQf67OZ9NtMFotOXRycTZoSlk/view?pli=1
if you have the 16gb model flash this version it is also the dual sim version LINK h t t p s ://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzNI3B6FbXTMdC1yRDhOZjk5SDg/view
after you flash the rom do into settings and tap the build number until you have developer options and turn on usb debugging lastly download this roottoolkit

NEW ROOT METHOD WITH TWRP RECOVERY LOCKED BOOTLOADER http://forum.xda-developers.com/m4-aqua/development/bl-locked-twrp-touch-recovery-bl-locked-t3257430
Ok, so I was desperate enough to try your method despite the broken english haha.... Can I say that I love you? BECAUSE IT WORKED! Can confirm this method works for the 16 gb E2306 LOCKED bootloader. To add some clarification for others reading this.
1. When flashing the ftf file, be sure to do a full wipe
2. First boot will take a while
3. Make sure to place the root installer in the same folder as you ADB folder.
All the best, thank you, and time to give life to this phone

I think you need to do some modifications to the .bat file. Check the model and build number and replace with yours. I even change the filename and include my model number there,in my case E2312 .

Unfortunately that did not work. I had an lte connection prior to rooting, so i think i has to do with the rooting process. Also, options such as data roaming were available prior to root, and no longer now. Can I safely flash the e2306 ftf file without breaking root?

I have not tried that. but try it and let me know if you still have root after that. dont forget NOT to wipe your data when flashing with flashtool to see if you keep the root. if it does work i will flash back to e2306 version. good luck:good:

Well I also undergo same problem after did root my E2312,happened after I did remove a bloatware via xplore (phone rooted).Phone reboot and suddenly I cannot access all network related things,from wifi to data network.I did google and some results say things related to my xperia theft protection (mxtp) or selinux,some sort like that.The .85 ftf that i have flashed actually trigger mxtp by default but I don't think it is the real problem,same goes to selinux things.What I did is just reflash the .85 ftf,set-up,get root and disable mxtp+make selinux permissive. Now my phone is just okay.Only looking for solution tu disable software update that keep nagging,but it is not a big deal.

anybody knows how to flash only simlock.ta?
Mine flash tool is 0.8.6.0 ver and it always ignore the file.
I want to flash only this file. Is there any other way?
any idea!!!! any help!!!
If you have unlocked your bootloader, you need to relock it before you can re-simlock IIRC.
Mine is locked bootloader. Now I want to flash with simlock.ta. Flash tool always skip the file. Why? Is there any other way?
But what is IIRC?
also tried with flashtool ver 0.9
But no luck!!!!
Any help???
Why are you so particular about flashing this file? Do you know what is this file and what it does?
Just don't mess around with that file.
Your question is answered by Blagus on GSM Cure,
Simlock data is checksumed, and even if you manage to edit file and write it to the phone, it probably won't boot because of checksum mismatch. So you'll have to find a way to bypass security (loader) and make the phone to accept new security zone. And if this was possible then every tool would be able to unlock it standalone (without EMMA).
And only tool that has X10 mini unlock solution is SEtool but unlock is not available for public

Sorry to ask but I just wanted to be clear on something - my Xperia (Ray) refuses to read my SIM card. In fact, it doesn't even ask me for my PIN number, it just boots as normal but I have no connection to any network. I've tried using the SIM card in another phone and it works fine, therefore the problem is with the phone itself.
I'd recently had my phone network & bootloader unlocked by wotanserver using the test point method - because of this I thought the DRM keys would be fine (e.g. TrackId & Timescape still worked). However, when I was updating from GB .42 to .62 OTA (to flash a GB ROM) my phone bricked! So, I ended up using s1tool to restore the locked bootloader. Then I used flashtool to flash a stock ICS ftf file. It seemed to work (the phone rebooted) but it was then I noticed that the SIM card wasn't being recognised. Also, in the Flashtool log I noticed that a blue line was there saying 'this file is ignored simlock.ta'.
Hard resets & updating with Sony Update Service isn't working and there's just so much conflicting info out there that I'm really confused at this stage.
Can anyone help me or is my phone screwed for good?

It's rare for any SE phone to be screwed for good... maybe try flashing a stock GB rom, and get back to how your phone was previously? Do any other SIM cards work in the phone? Check service menu (*#*#7378483#*#* from phone keypad) and check SIM or network locks to make sure nothing is wrong there? Check and clean the contacts in the SIM card slot? Unlock the bootloader again, and flash a custom ROM? Just don't try any more over-the-air updates with unlocked bootloader - this bricks many phones! Good luck!

To flash simlock.ta rename.it to preset.ta and bundle into ftf file and flash,just disable final verification check.

Hi
I have a SO-03E which is currently running 10.1.E.0.265.
As there is no root available for this version.
I am wondering if it is possible that
1. Flash FTF of SGP321 (knowing that the internal storage will be "shrinked" to 16GB)
2. Root and Unlook booloader
3. Install CWM
4. Flash via CWM back to 10.1.E.0.244 (will the internal storage be "expanded" back to 32GB?)
5. Root again (guess the Simlock will be gone)
Any comment?

Ran unlock tool, got super user, then what?
Sony XTZ (Jap Docomo version SO-03E) with stock FW .269
I have run the installer (with few errors, but generally appearing to be successful) and have been given superuser access. I However do not see any other changes to the tablet.
In the service code menu I still see that bootloader unlock = no
What is the next step towards installing a recovery and/or custom firmware? The fastboot flash still doesn't allow access to input the unlock code from Sony. Cant seem to find a what to flash an image to the device.
Perhaps this is a noob question and I am not experienced enough with the android superuser app, but if I am having trouble, odds are many other are too.
Many thanks to any who can help,

Because i don't like to wait i use pc companion to upgrade my new z2 (sgp511) to android 4.4.4, there i notice that i lost root. Since i can't root android 4.4.4 i want to downgrade android, but first i have some question to ask.
1) Can i backup my drm key without root?
2) Do i erase them when i unlock the bootloader? (i know i loose every thing but since they are part of the system maybe i won't loose them)
Because if i don't lose them with the unlock, that would make my life easier.
Where i can find my the originals image of android? (although if i can unlock with out loosing the drm i won't need to downgrade)
Any advice that can help me will be apreciate
1) Nope
2) Yes
You have choices. Pc Companion, Flashtool or this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=54527942

You can downgrade to root able firmware, root it properly, install dual recovery and flash prerooted firmware via custom recovery. Drm keys might be important for some propiarty stuff working the way Sony think they should like camera, gallery etc.
if i don't care for the key, insted of downgrade the soft , i should install preroot firmware?

If you want to. With unlocked bootloader you are able to quite easily root it and do what ever you decide. Little warning though. Without TA backup your DRM keys are gone for good. There is no way to get them back and if you need your warranty there is high risk that it is gone too.
i know and i want too backup them but i don't know how t do it without root, which i can't have until i unlock my tablet i e circular problem :laugh:

If you don't want to downgrade there is problem yes. Because we have root with locked bootloader I don't think there much activity to find new rooting method to latest firmware versions.

Find rootable ftf file for your device for example this: https://mega.co.nz/#!kcxxjaLA!itErjRi2fYPPswal-c7XasF_lAvPKyY4GwEzY3xgHZ0 and just use Flashtool to install it. You don´t need to have root to do it and it don´t have any effect to your DRM keys.

It doesn´t matter much which region firmware you install to SGP511 because it´s wifi only and only differencies are some bloatware. If you are going to root your device and then update with ota it may work or it may failed. Don´t think region matters here either if there is ota for that region. But, by all means use your regions ftf file.

Pd: after ready some previous post, i was thnkins, may the following work?
1) i downgrade qith the image you pass me.
2) as you sugest i root and backup my drm key
3) i restore my stock image (23.0.1.a.4.30) with oc compaion or with the image from argentina in XperiFirm.
4) Unlock and install root.
5) restore my drm key (which if i undestand correctly will lock my device again)
If everything work as i think i will have android 4.4.4 with woor and drm (and my regional ota)

So what i already do is:
i download the files with pc companion
decrypt and remake them to ftf with flashtool.
i tried PRFCreator ( but i creat a zip to flash with recovery)
So what i want to do is to make my own root ftf, so i can just flash that and i don't have to do anything else.
pd: i in no hurry, but i like to do it this way so i can learn for future updates (ex lolipop)
pd2: also i want to make al the steps so i can translate to my fellows argentinia users.

Sorry to tell you but if you meant that you want to make prerooted ftf file to flash via Flashtool it is not possible. To achieve root with updated Sony´s firmwares your need custom recovery installed or unlocked bootloader.
ok, with that i narrown my option to only one the ones descript before, but i have one doubt, why dual recovery?
1) I always use twrp, why dual?
2) will i lose ota update with dual?

2--D6503 ROMS (23.0.1.A.3.9,France - Orange - etc. OR 23.0.1.A.0.167,Canada/USA,France,Germany etc. ) upload to D6502??? Is this happens?
3--And does LTE work?
OR
LTE support is not work. Let's say D6503 is working ROMs on D6502.
4--An advantage or good changes on d6502???If everything would be the same?
LAST
5--When installing this ROM on FlashTool,Is there a possibility of deleting IMEI?
6--And OTA update income ?
7--Can we, when we want to install the original version d6502 (To avoid problems with warranty service)
Very Thanks. English'm less. gtranslate
backup your original rom and after that try to flash d6503 roms to your d6502. I think the rom should work but 4g will not work. and this can't change the imei. I think that the only difference is the 4g. I have a d6503 so I can't try it but good luck

thanks. for rom backup
ı dont have root! Can I do any other way? or back up my data and download the d6502 mena ftf.flashing and upload data?
For rooting you need to downgrade to 4.4.2 and than root using toolkit, than you can backup your TA partition just in case you want to unlock your bootloader later and lose your DRM keys. D6503 ROM can be flash in D6502 but the network functions like calling and texting wont work, you need to flash D6502 modem for that, most of the ROMs will already have that as a separate flashable ZIP, search in the respective ROM thread. After flashing the ROM you might get update notification but you wont be able to install them as many of the system files will be modified so for getting official update you will need to flash back stock FTF with flashtool which will remove all your data, and if you had unlocked you bootloader you will have restore you DRM keys also after flashing stock ftf. for backing up data without root try helium app. works for me.

No, no prblm, just follow the method given in the forum thread, flash only the ftf for your model and not any other, bootloader wont be affected by flashtool until you intentionally unlock it.

Depends on what ROM you want to flash, there are different ones available in the forum, some AOSP or CM based which will require unlocked BL, or stock bases, like existenz or Moonwalker which are stock based and dont require unlocked BL. but i would suggest you hold on for now as there are some news about Lollipop being release in next few weeks and you will need to flash stock ROM again for updating to Lollipop. or you can later wait for someone to make a lollipop ROM later and get done with the rooting process now itself. also to download ftfs i would suggest use xperifirm and create the ftf using flashtool, you might not find your specific regions ftf through flashtool, but i'm not entirely sure about that, you can try either.
Also please press thanks button if i helped

first backup your data (you know how to do it?) and then backup your rom with this method:
3. how to backup your original firmware customization
a) if you do not want to lose warranty of your phone, first thing you have to do is to backup your original customization
b) download Sony PC Companion and connect your phone
c) select update your phone in Sony PC Companion
d) application will prompt you to disconnect your phone before starting downloading firmware, just make it (remember - dont disconnect your phone when update just start...)
e) after finish downloading firmware cancel the update
F) after that, go to C:\ProgramData\Sony Mobile\Update Engine\db\some number\blob_fs, there you find 3 (maybe 4) files, which names start FILE
g) download and install latest Flashtool
h) paste the three files, which names start FILE, from blob_fs folder to folder „Firmware“ included in the XPERIA Flashtool
i) open the Flashtool, click on Tools, then click on Bundles, choose decrypt files and put all three files from blob_fs folder to the right columm
j) click ok and after approx. one minute a pop up Window will appear via Flashtool
k) mark all files except simlock.ta and transfer them to the right column, than fill in a box in the right upper corner (fill in what you want, it is just for you)
l) now click ok and Flashtool will create backup of your original firmware customization, that you can anytime flash to your phone

I'm in the UK and we have a place call Cash Converters, it's known for selling second hand goods.
I bought myself a Sony Xperia Z2 Tablet LTE 16gb in mint condition with all the accsessories and box.
I paid just under £150.
I was running Lollipop but for me personally the device was slow. I downgraded to KitKat and it's great, fast as hell. really impressed!
I'm not rooted and I'm on the latest KitKat before the Lollipop update.
I removed all the bloatware 1 by 1 and removed the Google apps I wasn't going to use.
I'll tell you now, it's reallly fast.
well to my question; Because I'm on the latest KitKat before Lollipop - is there a way I can root my device?
PS: I don't want to spam the forum so I'll ask here - what sort of battery life are XDA Members getting with their Z2 Tablet?
Lollipop is faster than Kitkat on this device.
Must have been something else than the firmware which slowed your device down.

Well, it depends on the version of KK. If it's 4.4.2 the root process is definitely easy by running the easy root (towel root) program. After that, the towel root author got hired by Sony, so, so much for getting any simple root processes.
As with 4.4.4, you can get root, but you'll need either to use;
a) Bootloader unlocked, and a modified Boot Image Ramdisk to get full System RW
b) Install Nutz dual recovery (easier with bootloader unlocked)
With LolliPop, I already had bootloader unlocked, so I installed the latest Dual Recovery by Nutz, and installed the latest pre-rooted LolliPop build.
One note on unlocking your bootloader if you decide to go that method. Back up your DRM keys first. Then if you ever decide to go back to stock, you can reflash them. Note it only works initially with 4.4.2 Builds if I'm not mistaken. To be honest, I have them backed up, but don't really notice them missing. Supposed t maybe do something with camera or video enhancements, but I can't tell the difference.
As with speed and battery, I can't tell the difference between the 2 versions. Benchmarks are about the same. Battery life is subjective depending on how you use the tab.

You can unlock your bootloader with any version. In the forums there is an app called Flashtool if I'm not mistaken that you can use to relock the bootloader.
Read this;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2747676
Be aware it'll wipe your /Data partition so you'll need to re-install your downloaded apps. Maybe docs and photos as well.

Aha. Similar to mine. I wound up getting a Demo model (unknowingly). Had the same "no" for bootloader. I wound up flashing a different "Ftf" file using Flashtool. Put a different region Rom on it. Workedfor a couple of folks, unless you have one of the carrier brands like Verizon, ATT, Tesla, etc.
So try flashing a 4.4.2 FTF file from a different region. See if it installs an unlockable bootloader. It's worth shot.

Having issues copying the link, but go to the regular z2 forum, then the cross development forum. There is a thread for "xperiafirm". This is a Pc app that will download almost every version Ftf file for Sony devices. Find your device (511, 521, etc) and download a couple different region Ftf files.
Flash using Flashtool that I sent you a link to.

OK, so here's the scoop.
1. Don't flash any files from our forums (zip) files. They are for custom recoveries.
2. Use the experiafirm software to download specific ftf files for your device. I'm mobile now and can't paste a link. You can find the Pc app by going to the Z2 phone forum, then go to Sony cross development. There you find the ExperiaFirm Pc app. Install it to a Windows Pc (instructions are in the post). Select your device on the left (Z2 Tablet), select specific model, and you should get all available factory firmwares on the right.
3. Select a firmware to download to Pc. Pay attention to the carrier versions. You probably don't want these. By carrier, I mean phone companies like Orange, Tesla, Version, etc. These are devices that are sold by the phone providers and usually you can't unlock the bootloader.
You want just normal Ftf files, like Vk, Ru, Baltic, etc. Should be about 30 or so available for your device.

thanks for all your help but I've gave up.
the link you told me about, xperiafirm, I couldn't get the ftf files. NO matter what I done.
I messed my Z2 LTE Tablet up and it was in a boot loop.
I fixed it with PC Companion and left it at that.
I have a Sony Xperia M2 too that I couldn't unlock it's bootloader, I kept getting "failed - command not succeed" so I just give up.
I have literally done everything and I still can't do it.
all I want is to calibrate my battery on my Z2 LTE Tablet & Sony Xperia M2.
is there something else I can try?
I'm running stock on both of them (latest in the UK through Sony's PC Companion) and I've disabled all the crap Sony apps and Google apps.
they're both fast now.
ugh.

Wow! Sorry experiafirm wasn't working for you. When I get time I'll install it here. It was working fine before I left Moscow. Currently on extended trip to care for elderly parents in the states. In the original post it stated a couple thing for the Pc,like recent Microsoft.net for example. Generally you just select your device on the left, then hit. "check all" in the upper right. Double click a firmware and it should download (if I remember correctly)

yeah mate I tried that and it wasn't downloading any ftf files, I kept getting "file" formats and trying to flash them after creating with flashtool was a nightmare!
but thanks for your help, I appreciate it. I think I'm done though, I have charged my device all night and most of the day and both of them are sitting on 100% full.
so I'm happy.
I also found a way to calibrate my battery on both devices without root too. so all is good.

any chance you can help me? I'm trying again.
what firmware should I flash to try and get my bootloader unlocked?????
You have to bundle the files downloaded from XperiaFirm, into an FTF, you do this with Flashtool:

You can skip the parts about Decrypting, because XperiFirm does that for you.
