i don't recommend you to unlock bootloader as there's many steps to do which takes time.
so you will just need to downgrade to 4.2.2 firmware by flashing the ftf,then root it & install custom recovery,after that flash a pre-rooted 4.3 rom.

too late. i already unlocked my bootloader. but after i unlocked it, my phone on bootloop but i managed to enter cwm. the 'free xperia' and 'xperia' logo keeps coming out if i try to boot my phone. looks like im on a wrong firmware to unlock my bootloader.
now im downloading (C5502) 10.4.B.0.569 tft files and flash it via flashtool, then im gonna try to again if my phone will boot or not.

@Ben Ling
I am new this rooting to. And I want to install a custom rom on my Xperia ZR. How do I downgrade to the previous ROM? Do I just use the flash tool? Is it necessary to backup my TA partition during this process or can I do it when I am about to root the device?Thanks!

download the 4.2.2 ftf,flash it then root it & install recovery
then flash custom rom (only based on 4.3 & stock firmware)

Thank you
So basically these are the steps which I need to perform
1)Download and run flash tool
2)Download the correct ftf and flash it via flash tool
3)Root the phone using doomlord's vroot kit
4)Backup the TA partition
5)Unlock the bootloader
6)Install custom rom
Please confirm if these are the steps to be followed
Thanks!

If you only want root you dont need to unlock bootloader and backup TA.

I live in India so would there be an India specific rom(Stock) for my phone?

@Ben Ling I rooted my zr by flashing 4.1.2 . I have also backed up the TA partition. Can you please suggest any good ROMS now? What should I choose stock based ROMS or AOSP roms like Carbon?
Also, If I want to come back to stock ROM(4.3) again what should I do?
Thanks!

if you want 4.4,then just try the carbon rom
for 4.3,try this.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2726463
for back to stock,you will just need to backup your current 4.3 rom,then if you want to restore,just restore
but the backup will only restore by using the same recovery that you backup.

@Ben Ling Thankyou! One more question before I installed the 4.3 ROM which you mentioned, do I need to unclock the bootloader to install the ROM?

[Q] Firmware questions

So, I am rooted and have TWRP for my recovery, running a custom stock rom. I'm wanting to upgrade to a new Lollipop ROM, but they all say that firmware 4.20.651.10 is required. I looked into how to upgrade the firmware, and all I found was that I need to get back on stock recovery, with a locked bootloader. My question is. . .can anyone help my get stock recovery with a locked bootloader again? I have the Harman/Kardon edition.

No, I'm not S-Off.

Pull the stock recovery from the 3.31 Full Firmware.

No need to update via ota, just update firmware & install a 4.20 custom ROM.

So that's it? I thought I had to go back to stock in order to flash the new firmware, even through the download available here on the site.

No , you just have to make sure you flash the full firmware and not the modified ones

Stock rooted rom

Hey can anyone give me the idea about the stock rooted roms? If i flash those then it should be pre rooted right? I dont have the bootloader unlocked and i dont want to. So can i just flash the stock rooted rom to get root access? If so can anyone give me any link for m8 hk edition marshmallow stock rooted rom? Help please

Stock rooted is exactly what it says it is, it is a stock ROM with root. You have to have TWRP to flash a ROM to begin with, which means you have to unlock the bootloader.

Thanks for the reply. Now i have already flashed the marshmallow stock in my phone. I had kitkat 4.4.4 rooted rom and i lost the root. As you said that i have to have twrp to flash a rom but i already flashed one before where i did not have to unlock the bootloader. I have super cid and s-off. So if i just flash the marshmallow firmware and then marshmallow stock rooted rom via hboot i dont think i need to unlock bootloader right? When i got my phone it had stock rooted 4.4.4 and the bootloader was LOCKED. So can i flash a similar marshmallow stock rom? I dont wanna install twrp or something. I just want to follow the thread of OMJ to flash the stock rooted rom. But i didnt get the marshmallow hk model stock rooted in that thread. So if u have the link of it can u give me?

If there is a stock rooted MM rom it will be in the RUU thread.
If there is one there, it will require unlocked bootloader and a custom recovery installed in order to install.

Reverto to stock after root and custom Rom

Hi all. I would like to revert the phone to stock after root and custom rom. Ther's a guide? I can't find anything on the forum. Thanks at all.

I think you just flash the stock firmware over what you have.

Thank's! So, no warry bout unlocked bootloader?

You might want to relock it first, but I don't think it matters. I am not sure though. Just basing this off my time with the S3 and S4 back in the day. With those phones it didn't matter. The S10 line are newer so it might with them.

I presume you want the boot screens to revert to normal without the Bootloader Unlocked warning screen.
If so, see my post HERE

I am on lineage os (Ivan_Meler) not rooted
under the developer there is no OEM option showing. My bootloader is unlocked, recovery is TWRP.
how can i goo back to stock ?

Just to be sure: Before I flash a custom firmware on a S10(+,e) like lineage, there is nothing to back up like DRM keys or certificates? (I had SONY phones before. If you reverted to stock on those some SONY apps would not work anymore if you did not backup the DRM keys).

Hello guys,
Similar question what is the procedure when I want S10e with flashed custom rom (TWRP Recovery), rooted and unlocked bootloader to return to stock firmware?
