hi
I want to update to marshmallow for my sony c5 ultra dual (E5533?).
the device is rooted and unlocked and I have removed some system app(bloatware basically) and disabled some others.
now my question is this: if I want to update to marshmallow(6) but don't need to have root and/or unlocked status, can I do that easily ? the guides here are for having root and unlock and keeping it after the updates. I don't need the root.
if the answer is yes ( and please explain the steps and files needed) if in future I again need root and/or unlocked for twrp ,can I do that later again?

yes first you have downgrade to the firmware - 26.1.A.1.112
i had the same device , do everything in this guide , make sure you download the 26.1.A.1.112 firmware when you downgrade from 26.1.A.2.167
+you can also backup the TA Partition after rooting (For warranty)

Thanks for your comment , i'm not sure to downgrade firmware version, cause overheat and bloatware issue in old buid. btw this is not my primary device, so i can't check it frequently. any method available again?
seems like you havent visited the link i have given, if you want to root your phone without unlocking the bootloader, you have to downgrade and install the root, then you can upgrade tothe latest version
Okay, I'm sorry for that before. yeah i'm not read it completely sorry, i will try it. thanks
Hi guys,
I wanted to root my Xperia M4 Aqua (E2303) which is on MM 6.0.1, compilation 26.3.A.1.33 and I haven't found any method to do it without having to unlock the bootloader (I really want to keep it locked, for warranty reasons). I've tried several methods (using .bat files) made for previous compilations and it didn't work, giving me the error that my device wasn't supported. Does anyone know how to do it? Thanks.

On MM unlocked bootloader is required. Try Lollipop.
If you want keep warranty- just unroot then relock bootloader.
Back to 5.0, make TA backup, and go to 6.0.1, unlock bootloader and root, if you phone get broken, back to 5.0, and Block bootloader by restoring TA, and flash newest rom by xperia companion
And what about the camera? If bootloader is unlocked pictures will have worst quality?
Thanlks
No problem with quality of camera after unlocking of bootloader.
Hello guys!
I have a Sony Xperia M4 Aqua E2303 from Orange with their custom firmware.(Their Apps and start-up logo, etc.)
It is possible to flash the sony stock firmware(marshmallow) to get rid of this custom firmware ?
Also after flashing the stock it is possible to install a custom recovery like TWRP?
If is possible to do those operations ,is there a way to back up the actual firmware in case of possible problems?
Im kinda new to this forum but i want to thanks in advance for your help and advices .
Thanks again and have a good one !
If you bought it from Orange, check that your booloader is unlockable (to do this, type this in the call menu: *#*#7378423#*#* then in Services info, rooting status you can see it)
If it's unlockable, you can flash recovery and root it after you unlock the bootloader (You will lose your DRM keys)
Here is a guide about rooting and unlocking.
With root, you can also remove those apps that you want.
(the guide is made for E2353, idk if the files will work for you...)
Also, here you can find the stock roms.

Thanks for your help buddy.
Unfortunately the bootloader is not unlockable.
But i took the risk and i flashed a stock firmware (E2303,Central Europe 1, 6.0.1) via Flashtool and XperiFirm. I got rid of all orange apps except one which is good ,my free space is around 4gb from those 8gb. Also the phone is more faster in menus and some apps.
I saw a thread here on xda , about rooting and flashing recovery with locked bootloader but need to downgrade to lollipop Here. I do not not know if it is worth the while.
Is there any way to unlock the bootloader even if it says that it can not ? Maybe Sony Support?
Thanks again ! Good Day !
Your welcome, also i sad to hear, that you can't unlock your bootloader Have a nice day
Hi, I want to root my phone, I have a COL-L29 build 8.1.0.148, I found a guide to root:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-10/how-to/magisk-root-honor-10-t3785807
But I have some questions, I always had my phones with custom roms, if I root my honor 10, what happens to updates?
Can I update without risks? or I need to remove root and relock bootloader at every ota?
Thanks (and yes, I have bootloader unlock code)
You only need to flash back the (correct) stock ramdisk to remove Magisk. Then you can patch the OTA updates normally and afterwards re-root it again by flashing the (updated) ramdisk with Magisk again.
I am using twrp so I can't update ota but I can flash whole new update through Huawei firmware Finder
