Hello guys,
I search on the forum but didn't find the answer for the Z5C.
I just want to know if today, can we root the phone without unlocking the bootloader ?
I mean by that, if it possible to get the root and not lost the DRM Key or other stuff like the quality of the camera ?
Maybe can I use a pre rooted rom with flashtool to get the root and no unlocking my bootloader ?
Thank you guys for answering me

No, never. Z5c is identical to Z5 and Z5P regarding base hardware and software. Sorry, but you did not search enough, 1000th post like this.

Hello my friends. I had an iPhone 4 and I just bought my Xperia Z2 5 days ago.
During these 5 days I am here in this amazing forum reading a lot about Android development. So lets go to my questions.
So. If i wanna have all access into my phone...
1. I must root it...
2. then make a TA partition backup to save DRM keys and not lose warranty...
3. If i want to change ROM and Kernel i can unlock bootloader after these steps.
is it correct?
And if one day I am tired of all this and i want to Clean restore my phone.
It means i want Stock rom, Stock kernel, non-rooted and locked bootloader, is it possible? if so, in what thread it explain what to do?
My Xperia Z2 is from Brazil model is D6543 and firmware is 17.1.A.2.55
thank you very much, I will probably root my phone soon after answers here. :good:

Yes all this is correct.
I believe your model number is D6503?
Some ROMs can be flashed on a locked bootloader as well.
Use this for rooting on locked bootloader:

Use this to get recovery on locked bootloader after rooting:

I can't find the tool for TA Backup yet so I recommend you check the Cross-Device development sub forum.

Man, I am really thankful for your answer. But no, my model is D6543. It sells in brazil that comes with digital TV. Will it be a problem for me?

Ah I see that the only difference is a few LTE bands. Nothing else. I would recommend you ask in a ROM thread if the model number is supported or not before flashing a ROM
Hi there i know thats extremely noob question but the thing is i have never had a phne that was good enough for me not to unlock it and i dont know the answer. So now i have Xperia z2 and want to put Xposed - thing is my bootloader is locked, i can unlock it but i dont want to, and i have no idea is it safe to install it without unlocking the bootloader?
Thanks
Hey all, I've just got my Z5C the other day and just can't seem to get on with it due to the lack of gravitybox tweaks I've been spoiled by and other things like DPI changing without breaking swiftkey.
I'm on the latest firmware (32.0.A.6.152) and wondered if it was possible to root on this version? Thanks all
Yes, it is possible to root using TWRP.
To rephrase it, it is possible to root if unlocked bootloader, not possible with locked bootloader
Next to that, for me it didn't work out to install Xposed framework without running into lots of crashes and reboots (with no modules installed).
is it that hard to do forum search?
Thanks for the useful comments guys!
Just another one, on the z3 series I read about loss of camera quality due to DRM keys when unlocking the bootloader. Is this still the case for the z5?
Also, is it possible to re-lock the bootloader?
Thanks again

Hello. I am not very familiar with flashing and rooting stuff, so I would like some help (I do not want to brick my phone)
I have the single sim, and nougat 7 installed. So. I have already unlocked my bootloader (and lost my DRM keys, did not backup).
Question 1: There is a thread on how to root it and as far as I understand I need to roll back to android 6, and flash the .img kernel and then it's rooted? The instructions are very unclear, and badly written. Is this the way to root or I'm wrong? There is no root for android 7 yet, right?
Question 2: Is there a way to bring back the lost DRM features of the camera and the x-reality engine? How? I had found a thread saying how to do it some time ago but I've lost it.
I have read a lot of threads but it's not simple enough for me to understand. Any help would make me very happy
Hi, I'm pretty new to the android scene, I've looked for a few days if there is a possible way to unlock bootloader on an Xperia M4 Aqua 2306, the issue is my phone has Bootloader unlock allowed = No and didn't actually find if there is an actual way to do this.
Found a few threads talking about how to unlock the bootloader but it seems from some posts that it's not possible to unlock, I was wondering if anyone could help me figure it if there is any possibility to unlock since my phone is quite slow and would love to breath some life to it, any help would be greatly appreciated!

the onli way i was able to root my 2306 was to downgrade with flashtool to lolipop the vertion 26.1.A.1.112 ...the onli one old enough to root with kingroot the onli app i found to root lolipop ....but then none of the tutorial i read got me back to the last update without loosing root and aving to deal with the 100 of preinstalled app .....tryed to let it at lolipop but the phone is now extremly sloooooow
was able to get to recovery but then after looking at all custom rom .....they all need to be install with fastboot and they all stated that you need unlock bootloader so i stop trying the phone is not realy worth it anyway
