Hi there, just though i post this to clear some of the current query i have about rooting XZ.
Please let me know if these are correct:
Up till today, the latest rooting on XZ still implicate the following concerns:
1. DRM keys WILL be lost forever
e.g. no more Music ID/Gracenote within the Walkman app plus probably most importantly, as asked all the time and all over the place in the T/mint forums: loss of Bravia Engine.
2. older Xperia devices sometimes got issues after unlock of bootloader (BRICK after FOTA update)
My questions regarding the 2 points:
1. will there be a method coming later (from the old xperia rooting trend), that will retain the DRM key/Bravia Engine?
2. What were the chances of bricking the older Xperia handsets in the past????
was this mainly caused usually by the earlier version of rooting method?

Maybe someone is working on it right now. But you'll just have to wait and see. Can't look into the future.

Dude...you lose the DRM Keys if you unlock your bootloader...read the posts and threads more careful...
well.. to gain full root access, atm unlock the bootloader is a must right???
Or are u saying now that i can
-just root
-without unlock bootloader?
tbh i just want to have root access for titanium, so if this is available then i'll do it!
i just thought unlocking the bootloader is a must for full root at this stage..
You can't root without unlocking the bootloader. Unlocking bootloader will result in losing DRM Keys. Simple
you can wait till a dev make a root without the need of unlocking the bootloder...which is secretly being done by some awesome devs ) patience my friend )
Hope that will be soon

That's better! Finally confirmed my queries. Thanks guys.
Guess everyone's waiting for it
Hey,
Quick bit of advise needed - after reading various posts about rooting and unlocking the bootloader on the Xperia Z my head is not hurting..can I ask what I will lose if I unlock the bootloader using sonys method (bravia 2 engine etc) as I want to try out some roms however still have the safety net of being able to re-flash the stock rom should all go pear shaped.
I have the Android ADT developers bundle on my PC, the fast boot driver installed and my Xperia Z rooted using one of the all in one tools which was downloaded from this site yesterday.
I guess I am trying to see how easy it would be to take everything back to stock with all features working should the flashing of roms not work.
Cheers
Scott

thanks - the search blew my mind as there were so many different opinions and I wanted to get an expert answer.
never mind
Unlocking the bootloader wipes all of your data (it's a safety procedure), as you already know you lose the BE, you can also lose warranty.
If you mess up your phone, in almost all cases, you can use the Sony Flash Tool (Google it) to restore it to the stock ROM.
Hope I helped! ;D

Guys, can you post a method on how to root my Xperia SP (.207).
I'm new here guys, it's been awhile I didnt do rooting stuff since my LG phone. I decided to root my SP coz Sony ends the updates for SP.
See the Root with just an app thread in general.
Next time search before posting at the wrong placce
Towelroot
Truly one of the basics which has already been posted over and over again.
No offence but atleast use the search function first.
Hi guys!
I have the x3 compact since 3. October and i'm thinking about rooting it.. I have experience with the arc s and i dont want to unlock the bootloader because the z3 compact will get lots of updates for sure and then i can flash almost every rom with locked bootloader..
Is there any method now to root it or no way at the moment?
Thank ya anyways,
Yours slimy!

Wrong forum and answered like 50 times. I could answer it I suppose, but do a search.
Come on.. I thought an exploit had been found. See former post and use a "?"
Please post questions in the Q&A section

Hello,
I've been using these forums for years to root all my devices so thanks to all for the hard work.
I just want to know how I can root my Xperia Tablet Z SGP321. It's currently on Lollipop 5.0.2 (10.6.a.0.454).
I've looked everywhere and I can't find anything to simply root it, all I can find is for previous firmware and for other models.
Can someone please send me a link? My bootloader is is currently locked but an unlock is allowed so I can do that if required (did it with my Z2 and my Z3 so I know how).
Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you :victory:

Wrong forum mate, go here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-tablet-z
Besides that, asking questions like that is not allowed in general section, use Q&A instead.
Sorry about that, I was in a bit of a hurry.
Thanks for the link, I'll check there.
Can someone delete the thread pls?
I'll check if I can remove it myself though
