After I do the bootloader thing lol, I put in the sim I want to use, them asks me to put the code in?
If you're trying to network unlock your phone, then unlocking the bootloader doesn't affect that.
You will have to get an unlock code from 3 or buy one online. There is currently no other way.

Hello,
I have just got the Sony z1 device and ideally want vanilla android on here, is it possible and if so would it void my warranty?
If not possible what can I delete of Sony's on here as its packed with crap I don't want, will removing their apps cause any problems with the phone?
Thanks
There is a dedicated forum for the Z1. Anyway, in order to install vanilla Android, you'll have to unlock your bootloader, which voids your warranty. Rooting will probably not require an unlocked bootloader.

Unlocking bl will also block his camera... If you don't know what are you talking about just stay quiet.
Never unlock bl on Z1!

Ok, relaxed, it's true unlocking bootloader blocks camera, but he did say there is a forum for z1, if you ask these questions in a forum for a different device these things are bound not to be known by the forum members for this device (XZ)
And anyone who is going to unlock bootloader should do their homework first..
Just my 2 cents on the matter

I know that an UB breaks the camera. However, i didn't advise him to unlock it. I simply answered his question about the possibility and the warranty.
If you want a proper answer go to the right forum
I am wondering if anyone here has any news on when the bootloader is going to be fixed, I'm about to get this phone in a few weeks therefore I'd like to mess with this Bad boy as soon as I get him, but I don't want to lose the camera (I know I can restore TA, but it's a no-go as a daily driver). Also how it's going to be fixed? I've heard that TA/BL is not flashed by ftf, maybe OTA has access to TA/BL?

krabapple said he got the camera working in his carbon rom. Btw, this should be in the Q&A.
i see in cm 10.2 tread a fix already, very fast.

Any idea what might have caused the problem? I thought it has been connected to losing DRM keys?
Hello, I am new the Xperia world. I purchased a T-Mobile Xperia Z a few days ago (still within return window). I learned today that it is not possible to unlock the boot loader to get custom roms like CM. I went to Sony's site and was able to obtain an unlock code they emailed it to me. Does this still mean I cannot unlock it?
If I can unlock then I will keep the device if not I shall return it and get the C6602 because it is unlockable.
The code will not help. It is still locked. There is no way to unlock it.
However, you can still flash stock based roms. Just not those that require a custom kernel.

Just like ckyy said...you can still root, flash custom ROMs....there are PLENTY of them out there. Just follow the guides that [NUT] put in the "General" section and it will guide you thru flashing ftf files using the Flashtool. All the ROMs I've used have been for the C6603 (I think I read somewhere on XDA that those are the most capatible with the C6606 (T-Mobile Xperias) DO NOT use the ftf's from C6602!!
Got my hands over Xperia Z
was going through all the forums to root my device
doomlord 's way failed because the firmware i have is newer than what is been tested by Doomlord.
than i tried what i always do
ok I'm repeating myself this time on Xperia forum.
1) unlock bootloaders from sony's own site
2) flash Doomlords kernel for stock firmware which is with recovery
3) get into recovery and flash the zip attached
now you have super user and can install all that stuff needs root.
have a nice day!
And now you also have
1.Invalidate warranty
2.Bravia Engine 2 will not work anymore
3.Download music info, trackid... may also not work..
Doomlords way is fully working on locked bootloader you just need to downgeade kernel. If you have newer fw

1. Music Info works
2.And yes you're right dooms method works like a charm , no need to unlock bl just for rooting
@general: well it's obviously that you can root you device this way, because your bl unlocked. If you don't plan to use a custom kernel /rom you better root using doom's method.

in germany it's like that: if you buy a new product, the law enforces the manufacturer/dealer to give a 2-year-warranty on the product. this 2-year-warranty can't be reduced or limited (normally).
the manufacturer/dealer might give an optional warranty for another X years, but that's up to him.
so sony might say that their additional, optional, voluntary warranty might get lost when unlocking the bootloader, but they cannot reject the warranty enforced by law. to do so, they will have to prove that unlocking the bootloader is definitely the cause for the devices' fault.
let's say the power button isn't working anymore, and the device is 1 year old, then sony can't reject only because of an unlocked bootloader. it will be very hard for them to plausible prove that unlocking the bootloader damaged the power button. if the device is, let's say, 3 years old, then they can reject.
at least in germany this is the case, and i guess in many other countries as well. in germany they distinguish between "gewährleistung" (warranty by law) and "garantie" (optional, voluntary warranty given by manuf./dealer).
(unfortunately, i don't know the proper english translation for the german words, and my translation app shows "warranty" in both cases.)
I read on these forums that even requesting B/L unlock code from Sony is sufficient grounds to deny warranty - whether you unlock or not

Easiest root ever is with program called KINGO ANDROID ROOT its only one click root. No need for kernel downgrada, i use it on official .67 firmware and it works like charm. I saw it somewhere on xda and download it its imba.

Kongo root has been removed from XDA because of malware or something.
Doomlords method is the one to use
