Ok, so I've upgraded to 4.3 and lost my root. As far as I know, to get root on 4.3 I will need unlocked bootloader to flash custom kernel and/or ROM. Unfortunately in the Service Info / Configuration of my phone it says: Bootloader unlock allowed: NO. So here's the question: is there any method of unlocking the bootloader other than official from Sony? Looking at the Xperia Z and ZL forums looks like there isn't, but maybe someone had succeeded on the Z1?
Thanks for any information.

if that's all you have to say, you can go back to your pre-school now.
Please do some research first.
there is no way to unlock it
That's what i was afraid of. So is there a chance to root it some how?

Jeese..... Its about 30min to root .266 with Locked Booloader. Dont gramble all the time.
When someone find a simple method than you will have it. For now there isnt any other than flash .254 at first. Just do it and enjoy.

You can take backup of DRM keys. In case you need to use the warranty service, just restore the backup and your warranty stays valid.

So you can make your TA Backup once on rooted 4.1.2, then you are free to root your 4.3 and lock your bootloader with restoring TA..

Surely flashing any of the stock based ROMs that the guys have recommended is better than having a phone thats not working as well as it should.. and from my understanding if bootloader un-lock is not allowed then you can not unlock it...
Good luck !!
so i unlock it or not? give a me the right aswer pls

Just don't forget to back up your TA partition first!
You probably don't know what it is, so search for that first, before even attempting to unlock your bootloader.

If you go into service menu (*#*#7378423#*#*)
Configuration...
Rooting status...Bootloader unlock allowed...
If it says NO .. then you are unable to unlock it..
If yes then you`re good to go...but please do plenty of research before you attempt to unlock...could save you a lot of hassle ..
Once again, Good luck!!

it is upto YOU whether you unlock the boot loader and put on a custom 4.4 rom, nobody can give you the answer
but if it says no on the dialer settings then it's impossible right? or is still possible?

Hey guys, i'm kinda still a newb with the xperia z1 so maybe my question was already answered, but i couldn't find anything.
I was wondering if it was possible to install a custom recovery, like cwm, with a locked bootloader. I found: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...cked-bootloader-cwm-recovery-6-0-2-8-t2187363
wich is for the xperia Z. Does anyone know if this is gonna work on our z1 with 4.4.4 too? If not, is there any other way to get cwm on a locked bootloader. Thanks in advance

It's been explained in some posts by our fellow devs in some of the threads - the answer is: no root without UB, because the kernel has a so-called 'verity check', which detects any system modifications and panics if it finds one, and for this to be overcome, there are already some kernels which bypass this check, but as you know, you can't install a custom kernel without unlocking the bootloader.
However, I saw some hopeful post about M, something about an exploit being available for half-root, enough to backup your TA and unlock bootloader with the option of re-locking it afterwards without losing your DRM keys.
