Hello, i had my phone to reparation and got it back, then found out that they have broken my screen, i then send it in again to them, and sony didnt want to repair it because it was rooted.
I wan't to completely unroot it and install the default software, kernel, rom.
So what is the best way to do this?

Search any stock ftf files it using flash tool or repair it using the Sony application.

Hey Guys,
I bought an Xperia T a few days ago and after updating from ics to jb i rooted my phone with this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2186368
everything worked fine but after that a few days later came another update out for my Xperia T, so i had updated it via sony companion. My Promblem is that i dont have root anymore. The Way how i did it the first time dont work anymore it stucks with a white screen and i must press the back button.
Now it Works lol but i have another question is it dangerous to update if you have root?

Nope brother.. Its not.. Because u r on a locked bootloader. So u can update to the latest firmware with root.... No problem. But it will be dangerous if u r on a unlocked bootloader and rooted...in ur case no problem...

after i updated my phone Gamecih said error no root or something so i deleted superuser and after that i rooted my phone again so no problem from now on
I have an Xperia Z1 C6902 which I believe is the non LTE version. On my phone the KitKat update causes it to play sound through the earpiece rather than the loudspeaker very randomly which I think is highly irritating. I dug around a bit and noticed not all are suffering from this. Mostly C6902 users are. So can i flash a C6903 ftf or for that matter any Z1 ftf on my C6902? Can I possibly go wrong with this or destroy my device? Please help!!! Else I was planning to downgrade to Jelly Bean until Sony releases the patch for this. :crying:

It won't boot because the modem/baseband is different. I think you can get away with it if you flash the modem/baseband of an 02 ftf afterwards, but I'm not sure so I wouldn't recommend trying unless you're feeling very adventurous

It's a risky job, someone did and had sim issues. It's not recommended and you can brick your phone too.
I shall pass
Thanks for your views on it. I think I shall pass.
Hi Guys
Firstly, I apologies if this is in the wrong section ...
Now, I recently purchased a Xperia Z (my old phone was a Xperia Ray, thank god I got rid of it)
So I got the phone, plugged it into the computer to restore some backups and without thinking i accepted the update and it went ahead and done it.
Which brings me to my question, is there a root available for Xperia Z on
Android Version : 4.3
Build Number: 10.4.1.B.0.101
Preffreably one that doesn't involve downgrading as I do not want to unlock my bootloader.
Thanks for your help guys!
simply put no lol
No,you cannot root without unlocking bootloader or downgrading

well you can't,you can only flash the 4.2.2 firmware & root it,install recovery & flash a pre-rooted 4.3 rom
Ive recently bought a Sony Xperia Z C6603, it came with 4.2, and updated to 4.3, a month ago I updated to 4.4.4 kitkat, Id like to know how to root it since I had samsung S2 before it and rooted it, and there are some apps I really miss with root. The problem is that video tutorials and written ones talk about 4.2, so is it the same with kitkat? Also I really like the stock sony look so I dont want to flash a new rom or anything, if its the same, a good video tutorial with links would be great, sorry Im pretty noob with android rooting.
How to root 10.5.1.A.0.283 / 10.5.1.A.0.292
If you have trouble with any of the steps, then post in the thread and I'll try to assist.

Yes. That's why I linked you to it!
It's the only way to root 4.4.4 without unlocking your bootloader.
