Hi guys.
I just unlocked the bootloader of my C5 Dual E5563 (MM Stock) and would like to know if I really need to flash the recovery, because by me I will not even use it.
Can I flash directly supersu2.78.zip of this post (gsser) with flashtool ( or fastboot ) that was recommended by bigrammy (because this is already the version that supports marshmallow, right?) ?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe.../xperia-c5-ultra-twrp-3-0-2-5-5-16-0-t3499360
If not, does this recovery work in MM Stock?
Please help me, I just want SuperSU, I do not want to risk brick my smart with something that I will not and I do not know how to use or have all the work to lock and unlock again, because I'm in Windows 10 and I had to download several things today.
Sorry for my english (Google translate).

Is there a way to root my Xperia Z2 (4.4.4) without unlock its bootloader?
Or else better, is there a way to back-up the bootloader before the unlock?
I ask because I want to root it without set a custom Rom.
Thanks in advance.
There is. You've got to downgrade to for example 4.4.2, root your phone, create a pre-rooted version of 4.4.4 and then flash that. There is a much more detailed guide around here, so I recommend that you check that out
To back up your ta partition you will need root first.
In stead of creating a rooted rom you can also find some prerooted here in the development forum.
-Use flashtool to downgrade to 4.4.2
-Root and install recovery with one of the available root methods (towelroot for example)
-Use recovery to flash a rooted 4.4.4 zip, recovery (again) and SU (again)
-Reboot
-Test network connection, if 4g is not working, use flashtool to flash a local 4.4.4 baseband
That's all.
I heard that for rooting it's required to have unlocked bootloader. Is that true?
(I have seen the root guide in forum, but I don't think that it mentions the bootloader)
My problem is that I want to upgrade the phone without errors (when sony has updates). I say that because a friend of mine has a rooted Nexus 5 with unlocked bootloader and he can't install the last update.It gives him a bootloop and returns to the previous. This is something I don't want.
Thanks in advance.
Unlucking is not needed.
Official updates should work if you're on a 100% stock rom, but updates are generally available as flashable rooted zip, here in the forums, long before you get an official update available from Sony.
So that should be no problem.
Biggest issue here that people dont search howto root on locked bl, that is possible, search and read then you will have it, example like the installations steps of a modded stock rom

Ok so i have a xperia z2 tablet spg512 i need help to root it seems.
Code:
Current state of tablet: stock rom,stock recovery,[B]unlocked[/B] bootloader i think? as least it was but i soft bricked it and flashed stock 4.4.4 in flashtool so maybe it relocked? anyone know?
i tried to install twrp 2.8.7.0 but it won't boot. i heard about you need to flash another boot.img so i tried cm12 boot.img but it just soft bricked and i fixed it with flashtool. i just want crdroid on it. anyone can help me on whatsapp or hangouts? thx. also i know about rooting and have rooted alot of things also flashed ALOT of custom roms and recoveryies. but this confuses me.
And if you wanna help me over chat (I rather prefer that as its faster) put your whatsapp number here in thread or google mail in here or pm me.
Found it out! i flashed cwm 6.0.4.6 (Oldest version) and it worked fine so i flashed crdroid in it and all was good.
Little update: bootloader is unlocked! it says in configurtion.

Hi guys i have the xperia Z2 D6543 with a stock 5.1.1 23.4.A.1.232 with locked bootloader and without root .

http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/general/miui-7-sony-z2-relesed-t3188688
But i don't know what i really need to do, i was looking on the internet and i found many posts saiyng that i need to downgrade my rom to 5.0.2 and root than i should upgrade it using flashtool.
If that is a easiest way to root and change my rom that you guys can show me i would be pleasuread.
Thank you!
Download the prerooted firmware you want to use. Then downgrade to 4.4.2, build number 314. Then install the XZDR. That will give you a fully functional recovery. Get into TWRP (volume -) and install the prerooted firmware and reboot. The phone will reboot with full root and recovery.
There is another way but still need a downgrade to 5.0.2, use a rooting tool to install the recovery; if you downgrade to 4.4.2 is just one step.
Hi Ya'll and Happy New Year,
I need some help in rooting my Z C833. Before I tell you my ordeal here is the system details:
OS 5.1.1
Build 14.6.A.1.236
Bootloader: Unlocked via sony
Now i am not a advanced user when it comes to android stuff, I am still learning. All the talks and guides about rolling back and going to kitkat and flashing and recovering TA partion is kinda making me confused. I have seen many guides, i tried to roll back via flashtools, use king root to acheive root, install dual recovery then flash super user. This is the extent of my knowledge.
When i try to either ftf a pre rooted file to a 5.0.x fw i LOSE ROOT, every single time. Can someone help me out. What am i doing wrong?
For example I roll backed to (C6833_14.5.A.0.270_Customized_HK) installed King root, pushed (ZU-lockeddualrecovery2.8.23-RELEASE.combined) flashed (BETA-SuperSU-v2.49) and then went back to flashtools to ftf (C6833_14.6.A.0.368_Generic Telenor Norway) and i LOSE ROOT (ahhhhhhhhh):silly:
If there is no option for me to update to stock rooted rom, can i install a custom rom with a update fw?
Ideally, stock or custom, i just want to utilize the sound and screen mods on this forum for the z ultra, for that i need custom recovery, for that i need root :S
I know the answer might be very simple, but like i said i m out of ideas.................
Thanks in advance for your help.
anyone???
Flash kitkat ftf, root, flash pre rooted 5.1.1

Hello together,
I've rooted my Jelly 2 smartphone and unlocked its bootloader (using MAGISK). It worked well and I gained root access.
After that, I am not very happy with it and I want to undo it again (pls dont question that).
As I am quiet a newbie in rooting, I don't really know how to unroot the device again, flash its custom ROM and lock the bootloader again.
I had clicked "uninstall" in the MAGISK App and due to that, I've lost my rooting access.
But I also want to flash the normal stock ROM again and lock the bootloader.
May you please help me how to do it? I have downloaded an official stock from from the Unihertz Jelly 2 phone but dont know what to do next.
There are many diffeferent tutorials out there and I feel quiet lost.
Please help!
Thanks in Advance
