[Q] How can I get my phone back to stock?

I need to send it to warranty. I've downloaded the stock firmware of my country and flashed with Smart Flash Tool. My question is:
Can they check that I flashed different ROMS?

Deleted.

Without sd card they can not check it, because smartflash cleaning all . After that you have the phone like from factory - I think.

[Q] Anyway to Unlock Bootloader and keep all data?

Hey all, I am having an Xperia Z C6603. Wondering if there is anyway of unlocking the bootloader and keeping all the data I currently have.
I have already rooted my phone and installed TWRP.
Any help appreciated.
Thank you.

BACKUP YOUR TA BEFORE UNLOCKING YOUR BOOTLOADER!!!

You can. Backup your data using TWRP (Nandroid Backup). Unlock your bootloader, then restore your backup using TWRP (if youve lost root, you have to root and install twrp again).

TWRP backup should do it.

What do you mean by Nandroid Backup? Is it the usual backup of the entire System?

Also, I want to flash a CyanogenMod . Anyway to transfer my data,apps and contacts there from my stock ROM?

Boot into TWRP and select backup to perform a nandroid backup. Its a backup of the entire system + apps + settings and so on.

Your contacts may be stored on google account. If thats not so you have to export / import your contact. All apps can be transfered by using Titanium Backup. This app allows you to backup all your apps and settings to your SD-Card. After flashing Cyanogenmod just restore your backup with Titanium Backup.

Hi alteristkang,

imei is in the TA partition , but something happened wrong with u , first try to revert back to sony rom (clean install and see what happens ) if didn't work ask the developer of the TA partition at his thread cause playing with TA partitions is so vulrnubale ( u can easily hard brick it )
but to what it think installing sony rom and flashing your TA partition back will solve the problem

Everything working again,
Restocked by followint existenz instructions and flashed existenz
All is good now

Nyes ^^ Actually it backups that much, that it is a backup of the whole ROM so if you backup your stock ROM with CWM and you flash a.. Let's say Android 4.4.2 AOSP-based ROM and you restore that backup, when being on the AOSP ROM you'll be there on stock, like you never would have flashed the other ROM
But it doesn't backup the TA partition for example, so you can't backup the Bravia Engine 2 or Download Music Info in WALKMAN, but a backup of this is only useful when unlocking the bootloader, so a CWM backup shall be enough for your needs

Okay, that's good
I think you wouldn't need to wipe anything, because it also restores the cache, so also the dalvik cache and it overwrites the old one I would think. If you come in such a situation just try it out, if it doesn't work you can still go into recovery and do the wipes, but I am quite sure (not 100% but about 90% ), that there is no need for wiping anything when restoring

Need to fix xperia z after the "ta partion" has been deleted[no backup]

My friend cant restore his Xperia Z's rom back on after deleting the TA Partition. He didnt take the backup and did it. How do we fix it? Is it even repairable??

You can try using flashtool to flash a stock FTF

no it isnt repairable each phone has a unique TA if that gets deleted and you dont have a backup then the phone is useless
