Hi guys
I would like to know if it's possible to unlock bootloader / root my op3t 4.0.3 without wiping my data ? I would like to install a custom kernel, but I realy don't want to wipe my phone
No. Unlocking Bootloader will wipe all the data

Is there a way to identify if this ROM is wipe or non wipe without actually trying it first? Trying to revert to stock to prepare for JB OTA while keeping root.
The most current ROM for me should be N7000OZSLPF from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
Hi, i have a samsung galaxy ace, my network is now doing ota updates to receive 4g, I want to try it so..
I need to go back to my stock ROM (after flashing a custom one) I did a nandroid back up before flashing so exactly how do I do this, do I need to wipe cache etc? In fact instructions would be appreciated,
Also, can I receive ota updates on a rooted device? If not, how do I unroot?
Thanks xx

Galaxy Ace can't use 4G networks due to the hardware it has
Restore your backup:
1. Wipe data/factory reset
2. Wipe cache partition
3. Wipe dalvik-cache
4. Restore your nand
To unroot you need to flash unroot.zip file
Helo , im using Xperia Z C6603 with locked bootloader.
Now im using .292 UK official rom with root and XZ-lockeddualrecovery 2.8.3
After flashing any rom like Criskelo or Existen, my Xperia never boot up. I see only Sony logo and then black screen, and recovery doesnt work even when i flash it again after rom. Can any one help me ? What i do wrong.
I allways make full wipe before install rom.

Actually, you can't boot on custom rom with locked bootloader, therefore you might brick your device if you'll keep trying to flash custom roms on your phone.
Firstly, you've to unlock your Bootloader if you want to use any custom rom (unlocking bootloader will lead you to DRM keys and its functions remove, with TA Partition backup you'll be able to recover it).
i solwed my problem, i just cant wipe system partition ... so i install custom rom, then make factory reset and its works!
hey guys I was running cm12 on my sp when I tried updating my recoveries...it installed fine after a reboot it got stuck on bootloop .I know how to recover via flashtool, but that would mean wiping clean my entire internal SD . I was thinking about flashing a custom recovery so that I can backup data . can anyone help on ways to get around this problem.
Is your bootloader locked or unlocked?

if u have unlocked bootloader you can flash twrp 3.0 and backup :good:
thanks for the replies guys...unfortunately my SP is LBL so I had to reluctantly go back to stock 4.3.
ww should petition for a new kernel from Sony or a way to unlock "Bootloader Rootable: No " devices..
again thanks for the help.
Hi guys i have a simple question. I really would like to flash this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/development/rom-existenz-ultimate-1-0-0-light-dark-t2779949. It is looking very well. Right now i have lolipop on my xperia. Can I flash this rom straight away from my lolipop or should i downgrade it first to stock kitkat rom? http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/general/stock-rom-xperia-z-c6603-10-5-1-0-283-t2912254 (stock rom i'm talkin about).
Sorry for such a stupid question I just want to make sure cause i'm doing it for the very first time. I have rooted device without a recovery yet so should i begin with recovery and proceed to flash custom rom or to flash stock rom first. Thank you in advance for answer.
if your bootloader is locked.. yes, you can
note that you need to install recovery, wipe all (cache, dalvik cache, system, data) before flashing..
that means clean flash
but it's always nice to revert to stock before flashing custom or stock-based custom rom to make sure everything is in good shape
