Please anyone who have the Stock 5.0
26.1.B.3.109_R6A Saudi Arabia
Please send me
I'm now using 26.3.B.0.131
My problem is i unlocked my bootloader then activated My Xperia then i decided to hard reset so i deleted the system(I'm so stupid). I installed Marshmallow using flashtool from other country. My Rooting Status was unlockable before i deleted the system and now its Rooting Status:Unavailable, i can't flash Recovery,unlock bootloader,root officially. I want to go back to Lollipop to fix it. Should i use Xperia Companion or should i Upgrade to newer version or downgrade to Lollipop
And i have a problem with my sim slot 1, it won't read any sim card. If i use only the slot 2 it work but when i use slot 1 only or Both slot it won't work
I just want to Root that's all but fixing the Rooting status is better I'll pay $100
I can pay for $50 if rooted
Dual Sim variant
Please help asap
Thanks

Relock your bootloader via this and try the upgrade if you want. As far as I know, the .13 upgrade is available for xperia ray only. I tried to upgrade via SEUS, i get .587 build only not .13

It doesn't matter you officially unlocked your bootloader or not. You can relock it by flashing that .FTF file by flashtool containing loader file and regain access to sony services, only trackid isn't working after relocking the bootloader. you can also fix that by installing walkman mod with DRM files provided by ThilinaC..

i don't know will you get back your warranty or not if you have shown your phone at service center in UNLOCKED bootloader state, may be sony registers your IMEI for out of warranty but if you havn't shown your phone to service center in unlocked state then of course you will get back your phone's warranty. I tried this on my LWW and hence saying this with personal experience.

As far as I know, you won't get back your warranty.
1) they ask for your IMEI number while you are unlocking bootloader only, and I suppose this is for tracking purpose
2) when I was unlocking my devices bootloader, I had read in the faq section of the guide that it's not possible to get back warranty because even if you lock the bootloader again, bootloader status will be shown as re-locked (not "locked" as it originally was) so the Sony people will know you've messed around with your phone

1. They ask your IMEI not for tracking, its for generating unique unlock code of your device.
2. Where did you see your bootloader status as RE-LOCKED, as far as i know after relocking, flashtool says "Bootloader status: Rootable" not relocked and if you see in phone's service menu(*#*#7378423#*#*), it shows "Bootloader unlock allowed : Yes"
and i had given my phone on service center for some hardware issue after relocking BL and was solved.

Some SIM unlock methods do not survive the upgrade to JB. Not knowing the method, it is impossible to answer.
You can always use Galaxsim unlock (search XDA for free) to unlock the SIM once upgraded. It needs root though, but its free.

I would recommend upgrading to the very latest version for your region, yes. You need to get off ICS ASAP really.
If you're making a big leap to say, 4.1.2 (recommended) then you may be best preparing to do a factory reset. This of course wipes the internal SD card too. So just backup what you can before flashing a ROM. Even though you may not need to reset, it is best practice due to settings incompatabilities.
Then, IF you have become sim locked, you can quickly root using cf-auto root, run GalaxSim unlock and unroot again (using super use app).

Not at this moment no, but it appears that a pre-rooted zip isn't far off.

You will likely be waiting some time, because it's possible to downgrade and flash pre-rooted zip or to OTA certain FW's maintaining root, I don't see devs putting a lot of effort into finding an exploit. That said best hope is probably an exploit being found for Z3 which is transferable to Z2, but as I say you may be waiting some time.
So what you recommend to do if i want to have root on 167?

Try to create a rooted update package from the update ftf: [4.4.4] Create ROOTED update package from stock FTF [LOCKED BOOTLOADER]
So I need to flash dual recovery to do that
How can I make a full stock backup just in case I need to use it for warranty?

You don't need, you can flash back an original ftf anytime or repair with Sony PC Companion. We are talking locked bootloadr, so until you don't unlock it, you have warranty.
But if you already have root on prev. firmware, you should install DualRecovery and boot into TWRP and you can backup your system there.

I just bought the phone and I really miss root hehe so if I don't unlock the bootloader I can change recovery and flash a stock root rom without losing warranty?

Yes, if you have older firmware on the phone, you can try the root options available and you can use recovery without unlocking th bootloader. If you have the latest, than you can possibly flash an older firmware to your phone and root that. But you need to read a bit, to understand everything correctly.

You have to wait til 5.0.2 is rootable. Check Sony site maybe you can unlock the bootloader on lollipop.

Why do I need to wait for 5.0.2 root? Or unlock bootloader? I wasnt rooted and my zu bootloader was locked when I upgraded from 4.4.4 to 5.0.2 with Sony flash tool. All I needed was a ftf file with same region

I'm not sure if you can downgrade that way. I would try? Maybe not? If anything goes wrong you could always just flash stock again.
If you root and unlock bootloader you can move between android. I'm on 5.0.2 I can go back to kitkat anytime I want.
Has anyone downgraded from 5.0.2 to 4.4.4 yet? without having to root or unlock their bootloader. The reason I don't want to unlock my bootloader is because I accidentally erased my ta backup. That's why Im trying to get back to 4.4.4 so I can root and backup my ta again to unlock my bootloader. I just want to know if it is safe to downgrade my 6833 zu without root or unlocked bootloader
Thanks
Lollipop uses a different firmware so probably not. I didn't black up my TA .. I just went about unlocking it.
Try to flash a 4.4.4 ftf?
Yes but I want to back up my ta first before I unlock my bootloader because if I don't I'll lose the xreality keys and warranty. so it has different firmware so 5.0.2 won't be downgradable to 4.4.4? so you suggest I wait for a 5.0.2 root.
Sorry yes I wanted to to flash a stock 4.4.4 ftf with Sony flashtool
I figured I would give an update I was able to downgrade from 5.0.2 to 4.4.4 ftf with a locked bootloader without any problems

So someone who gets an Ota for lollipop can turn around and root their phone? The only reason you're rooted is because you downloaded a pre rooted rom.
So again lollipop is un rootable
So has anybody followed this guide?
Was it effective? I am reluctant to unlock my bootloader but on how my xzu sounds on my earphones, I am very eager to install V4A.

You're in the wrong device section. This is the Z Ultra forum. Anyhow, I see that you have the ZL, so I'll make this short. Tell me your region, and I'll make you a 4.4.4 FTF.
EDIT: I'm assuming the C6506 is the American version of the ZL, so the only 4.4.4 file that's available is the one for Puerto Rico. I'm building it now, so I'll put a link to it here when it's done.

Hello guys i have big troubles with my sony M4. I wanted to root the phone buy of course first i have to unlock the bootloader because it is on 6.0. But then i got Bootloader Unlock allowed: NO. So i tought if i change the firmware using flashtool to 5.0 i can root it using some of the premade rootkits for 5.0 and M4 but i have another problem. The phone is locked by T-mobile and they won't unlock it unless 2 years pass which is for 6 months from now, so if i install another firmware like the commercial 5.0 i think the network will not work right ? So guys do you have any other ideas how can i unlock the bootloader if the status is NO and also keep it locked within the network ? Thanks in advance.
