Hi guys,
So I have an Xperia Z2 running the rooted stock 4.4.4 firmware. I just did a Nandroid backup and am feeling adventurous. My bootloader is locked, as it's possible to root the Z2 without unlocking it. I found out about the CM12 nightly 5.0 ROM and was wondering, if I flash that through TWRP (which I currently have installed), do I have to unlock my bootloader? Or do I not since I'm already this far in without unlocking it? And I'm correct to assume if I restore my Nandroid backup that restores my old ROM right?
Hello All
i recently rooted my Z2 by downgrade method, thinking about moving to CM12 or PA as soon a stable build is released but have some doubts in that area.
1- if i make a nadroid backup through the dual recovery i have now and later after unlocking the bootloader and flashing a differnet recovery and ROM if i restore the old backup will my bootloader be locked automatically?
2- can i use my dual recovery to install a CM ROM( after a clean wipe of current system of course)?
3- i have read about people having problems after installing recovery after flashing a CM ROM, and i havnt really found a coherent answer for that in all the forums that i follow. can anyone give a proper method of how to flash a recovery after the ROM so that i can restore my backup just in case?
4- if my nandroid backup does not relock my bootloader than does restoring my TA backup relocks it?
5- if after flashing a CM or AOSP Rom i try flashing a stock based ROM like existenz or MoonWalker can i restore my TA Backup on dat? will that in anyway affect the root capability of my device? will this relock the bootloader?
Sorry for a list of questions. have only worked with locked bootloader till now and not really handy with sony devices. have only been few months since i got it.
Anybody?

Your questions are vague and can really depend on what rom you flash and what you do . General answers are below:
1 - No.
2- Yes.
3- commands are
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Or
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Really depends on what recovery and if it's included in the boot.img.
4- Yes
5- yes. You can relock an any stock based ROM.
It shouldn't. Bootloader and root aren't related at all.
Yes
Is there any option to relock bootloader?
How do i get stock recovery back (I'm currently on twrp)?
I'm asking these questions because of i think i bricked my z5 compact by accidently wiping the internal system too and know i cant get adb to get working by pushing a custom rom too Xperia Companion doesnt restore back and gives me error. I have tried several tools and drivers without success. Fastboot is working.
//EDIT: A solution for all of this mess is to not using the newest twrp recovery. I flashed the older one version 2.8.x.x and everything worked again.
Hi Guys
I have stock version mm, locked bootloader, root and twrp recovery.
Is it possible to restore data (app´s and settings) from a twrp backup after unlocking the bootloader?
Thanks in advance
Hi XDA members!
I found a way to root my device without unlocking my bootloader.
I found a way to unlock my bootloader without wipping my data.
But now I tried to flash a custom TWRP build, but everytime I try I get an error..
Flashify not work with pie
Flashfire don't work with magisk
Flasher's not work with pie too (on new mtk device)..
I found my recovery is in "/dev/block/mmcblk0p2".
I "dd" it into "/sdcard/stockrecovery.img" but my recovery partition is stock (32mb) and the dd file is 23mb so I don't want to flash directly there I case of bootloop.
I received my new computer in around 2 week and I need custom recovery to dev something..
Someone can help me?
