Hey is there any way to unlock bootloader over 5.0.2 stock lollipop?
I have already rooted phone but i wouldn't wanna do that stupid downgrade thing...
i for now just want to stick to Android 5.1.1 on my sprout8/srpout_b.
my mobile is rooted, with xposed. and my Device bootloader is Unlocked. so what is the benefit if LOCKED bootloader?
after rooting i have never ReLocked it, so was wonder what is the dangers of unlocked bootloader?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
unlocked bootloader allows you to flash partition images via fastboot. I have not seen any issues with an unlocked bootloader. Also, update to marshmallow if you can,,,,,cause it has native move to SD if you didnt have it 5.1.1
I just received a Sony Xperia Z3+(E6533) on stock Marshmallow 6.0 and I've looked up how to root but only got ways to root while it's on Lollipop. Is there anyway for me to root on this software or downgrade from Marshmallow to Lollipop on this phone?
You can also root your phone while on MM. You can unlock the bootloader, flash a rootable kernel followed by a recovery and than flash the SuperSu zip. No problem.
But it is not recommended to do so, because you will loose the DRM keys/functionality when unlocking the bootloader. And once the keys are gone there is no way to get them back.
The better way is to downgrade to LP (e.g. .266), backup the DRM keys (TA Backup) and proceed with unlocking the bootloader and rooting the phone.
That's also the way I did yesterday, when I got the Z3+.
And of course you will have to read... a lot...
Thanks for the heads up , I've been trying to figure out ways for my specific model all morning and last night.
So to downgrade I'll just unlock the bootloader first then get a Lollipop firmware and flash using flash tool then do the other steps such as getting a rootable kernel and so on?
No, that is not what I wrote. Before unlocking the bootloader you will have to flash a LP firmware assumed that you want to backup the TA partition with the DRM keys first. This can only be done under LP.
I think you will have to read a little bit:

What are the issues if we loose Drm keys? Will it affect non DRM normal contents? Or will it altogether disable Netflix or any other apps using Drm or other encryption?

Unfortunately, you can't flash modified firmwares without unlocking your phone bootloader.. If I'm not wrong there's no way to root Marshmallow without unlocking the bootloader.. Its only possible to root without unlocking bootloader for lollipop and lower..
