Hey all.....I had my W8 with 11W44 and tried to unlock bl and got it hard bricked
Then sent it to Service Center, got it back and working, but now with 11W33!
So I don't know if it succeeded with anyone else here?
What you got? Anyone with the same date?

11w33 is very risky,i recommend you to not try to unlock bootloader,because the chance of success is so so!

11w29+ is RISKY. Just because a couple of people have unlocked theirs does not minimize the risk. you were very lucky.
on topic: google is your friend here. afaik, setool2 is an option if you want to go by the paid route.

Hi guys,
Sorry if I've missed something.
Is there anyway to root JellyBean on a locked bootloader, even if it means downrading?
Thanks.

From the OP of that thread -
Z 10.4.B.0.569 couldn't be rooted with both exploit, so this root tools cannot be used with newer devices/firmwares than Z1 .257.

That's why I didn't link to that method in the first place.
Are you saying that it actually does work? If so, report it in that thread as a supported firmware.

No, it does not work. Tried already and can confirm it's failure.
Is there any way to do so without unlocking the bootloader?
Ive rooted my Z already using the advanced stock kernel v11 by DooMLoRd... thanks to all

Short answer : No.
Unlock your bootloader or wait for an exploit/prerooted rom.

I don't think you understand. There are some devices where you cannot unlock the bootloader at all, even if you wanted to, therefore that guide is no use to people that own those devices.
I'm not asking for help by the way. I have an unlockable bootloader and am fully aware of how to root.

Just search in the Xperia Z Android development and look for the rooted 4.4.2 roms by @Rajeev and @zippy01 and follow the steps howto install and tadaa you have root on a locked bl !!!
Verstuurd vanaf mijn LT22i met Tapatalk
LOL indeed.
Please people read and understand what I was responding to before quoting me and trying to be clever again. Posting a guide that requires unlocking then relocking the bootloader is not a method of rooting with a locked bootloader for the reasons in the post of mine that you quoted without reading properly.
We all know that you can downgrade to gain root and flash any stock based rom that you want. You will see that I already suggested it in the second post of this thread.
