You might like to consider looking at this thread..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3042439
Also if you are new try to avoid unlocking the bootloader..
If you decide to unlock it first thing to do is to take backup of ta before unlocking..
So for time being i suggest playing with roms for locked bootloader as they are easy to unbrick and also no warranty is void..

So you need a Locked Bootloader stock modified rom?
Better use UltimateXSP or eXistenZ
By the way it's not allowed to post questions "What is the best rom"
We do not allow best ROM/Kernel threads on XDA,. What's best for someone else may not be what is best for you. Best advice is to head over to the development section, try some out and see which best suits your needs.

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

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

Thanks alot, Ill try it tom and reply with the result
Hello. Sorry if this is a silly question; first time Xperia user here. Does the Xperia™ Companion software find unbranded ROMs that don't come OTA? I have a UK o2 Z3+ and want the latest official Sony stock debranded ROM. Could you tell me if the Xperia™ Companion software would download this for me or will it only bring up carrier-modified ROMs as if I were to check OTA?
Thanks!
Hi,
Any reason why you want to use the Xperia™ Companion software? From what you describe, it sounds as if you'd be better going with Flashtool/Xperifirm. You can freely choose from the available roms. Google for a guide for creating the FTF and flashing it.
Should work without B.L. unlocking as long as you're not trying to flash a modified kernel, but your phone will need to be carrier unlocked if you want to move from o2.
Cheers!

Hi,
Actually I love stock Rom only because they are very stable as compared to AOSP custom Rom.
But here in our country the STock Rom comes with lots of bloat. Is it possible to create a stock FTF by self with the help of Flashtool which doesnt have the bloats and useless apps so that my system run lagless. I dont want to unlock my Bootloader.
Any help will be higly appreciated.

there's nothing in FlashTool to allow you to work on the rom. You'd need to deodex the stock rom, work on it to remove what you don't want, then zipalign. there are guides to doing that, or you could watch the discussions here and see what happens. There was talk of someone creating a deodexed image.
Here's a thread regarding deodexing/zipaligning
BR.
deodex needs root
And z3+ BL needs to be unlocked to aquire ROOT. So I think its impossible.

To upgrade to a newer version of Android (and enjoy Material Design), you must flash a custom ROM. Head to the Android Development section and flash a ROM that works with a locked bootloader. If you unlocked your device's bootloader, you can enjoy CM/AOSP-based ROMs. Read the OP of the thread or read THIS for instructions on how to flash. Ensure you have a saved backup somewhere and your device's battery is >50%.
Marshmallow on the Xperia Z1/s is not stable; from what I see, it'll never be.

So if I find a ROM that works with a locked bootloader, I wouldn't have to bother about the difference in Xperia Z1's model?
