A relock should be enough,
TA is only for bravia engine.

Do you did a TA-Backup?
So you want the Link from us for cm11?

I did the ta backup.
I just want to know if I need to reunlock the device if I wanna install a AOSP-based custom ROM like CM/AOKP.
If you want to try a non-stock based ROM, you must have the bootloader unlocked.
Otherwise your phone won't boot. It's self-explanatory in the ROM's thread

Hi guys
I updated my Xperia Z C6603 to JellyBeam 4.3 via OTA aaaaaaaand I lost my root. So now I want to have root again, and as you told me I have to go back to 4.2.2, then root again and update to 4.3 with flashtool.
So, could anybody help me with that? What exactly I have to do?
Thanks

Download ftf,
Put it in the flashtool/firmware folder,
Start flashtool,
Click on symbol left at the top,
Choose flashmode,
Choose the ftf you wanna flash,
Wait for a window to pop up,
Then connect phone in flashmode and wait till flashing is finished.

Don't forget to also download the drivers which you can do easily with windows. Go to C:/FlashTool/drivers and click the icon. Otherwise you won't be able to enter flash mode if you haven't put the drivers in the folders too. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45464122&postcount=3

Can you unlock your bootloader? If so, then you could easily root. If you can i suggest you to unlock it.
If not, you must downgrade and get a pre-rooted firmware.

Bravia engine just oversaturates colors and make them look like amoled. No offense but if this is the only reason you should unlock.
Also bravia enginr still works for videos.

You can backup TA partition. But you will however lose warranty. Or use nutz method to update

To downgrade using flashtool you don't need a custom recovery/root

downgrade xperia z
i want to downgrade my xperia z C6602 to jelly bean from lollipop .. what should i do ? should i unlock the bootloader at first or no ?
Hello together I bought a month ago the xperia z. I want to flash 4.3( I have now 4.2.2) with the flashtool but I have a question. When I flash the original 4.3 will it change the customization number? And when it will change the number, will I lose the warranty? We're I can find 4.3 for generic Germany? I had a Samsung Galaxy S Plus and know that you can install all stock roms like from another countries.
