There is also a dutch version. But it doesn't matter which one you choose. Both will have bloatware from providers and both support the Italian language

Hey everyone, so i'm a brand new unlucky owner of an unbranded xperia Z as i'm stuck on .434 jelly bean until sony decides to we (unbranded phone owners are worthy of an update)
So i'm looking at the prospect of doing the system update the hacky way and got just a few questions...
How can i check if i have an locked or unlocked botloader?If i unlock the bootloader i void my warrany?
If boot loader is locked is it absolutely necessary to unlock it? Because i'm afraid of loosing perks such as Bravia Engine...
Whats the most stable rom running latest jelly bean iteration for xperia z?
Thanks for answers in advance!

Hey guys and girls i've had my Xperia Z C6603 since it came out and I had rooted it since it was realeased to be able to but the other day I went to flash a custom ROM and bricked it. I then used the Sony tool to put the latest OFW on and reset it and then tried many different rooting methods with no luck.
I have the
C6603 on 4.4.2 and the.bootloader is not allowed to be unlocked.
Is it possible to flash a custom ROM and root it? And if so which method will work?
Its on 10.5.A.0.230 build :/
Thanks people.

If you're going to keep posting that, you should also advise people that it requires unlocking the bootloader and therefore invalidates warranty.

Indeed it does require an unlocked bootloader.
In your situation, the only way to gain root is to downgrade to a 4.2.2 firmware, root and flash a prerooted KitKat rom or a custom rom of your preference.

It's the Q&A section. If people knew everything, they wouldn't be asking for assistance here.
Please stop posting incorrect or incomplete information and replying without reading the question properly and I won't need to keep correcting you.

You're correct. There's no way to unlock your bootloader.
Yes, you will need to download a 4.2.2 firmware and flash it using Flashtool. This will probably require that you wipe your data, unfortunately.

Thats perfrctly fine, I had backed up all my data with Helium Premium to Dropbox before I bricked it but now need root to get it all back lol
Sent from my C6603 using XDA Free mobile app
1. Download a 4.2.2 FTF - Download.
2. Flash it with Flashtool.
3. Install XZDualRecovery using the unrooted method.
4. Install a prerooted KitKat rom, such as this or a custom rom of your choice.
If you need any help with Flashtool, then just ask.

When updating to a new ROM eg, one at 4.4.x do I really need to upgrade up each build version? I looked at the requirements and one requires the next down, and then again and I think I would need to do it like 4 times.
You shouldn't need to, as most custom roms provide everything you need. The zip sometimes contains everything or sometimes you have to use Flashtool to flash a supplied FTF for the kernel and baseband.
If you're unsure, you could ask in the specific thread for the rom.

I just got a Z1 C6903 and want to unlock the bootloader/root so I can flash a stock android rom (= nexus like rom). I have only previously rooted Nexus devices - is there a one-click root tool that will do this ??
Thnx, and sorry is it was posted before I'm new here

No need to unlock the bootloader to root, just follow my sig. But to install an aosp ROM you will have to unlock the boot as well

Okay so I have never rooted and unlocked a device apart from Nexus'. Is there a Complete guide on how to do this for the .108 firmware?? And what do Ioose when unlocking the bootloader? Is it safe? Should I unlock the bootloader and then root the device following your guide or the other way round? Thnx
Please only start one thread per question, I have locked the other thread you started about this same issue.
First root, follow my signature for guidance (4.4.4 is the easiest to root)
Then backup your TA partition, look in the cross device development section for the TA backup thread.
Finally you can unlock the boot http://bit.ly/1okTnqd.

Oh sorry I needed answers fast Anyway thanks allot for your help!
Also, you should know that you do not need to unlock the boot loader to install a custom recovery. You only need root. And one you root using the newroot method you will have cmw recovery installed.
You only need to unlock the boot loader if you want to flash a custom kernel, or flash a custom rom based on a custom kernel such as CM, AOSP etc

I want to Install Cm and get stock android. Can I use a Ta partition backup tool? And how risky is this?
Yes you can use it, I have advised you to do it. There is no risk, it just copies your trim area partition so you can restore later if you want to relock your boot loader

The website has gone through an over haul, but is exactly the same process.
You can use flashtool but you still need the unlock code from Sony.
If you have installed the fastboot, flashode and z1 drivers in flashtool then you do not need to do anything else.
Connect in fast boot mode, type
Fastboot devices
Then you should get a reply back with a serial number.
Then type the command to unlock the bootloader with the code you get from Sony.
To install the drivers from flashtool, goto
C:\flashtool\drivers and run drivers.Exe
Choose fastboot, flashmode and z1 drivers
