I need to flash custom firmware on my Z3c but bootloader unlock isnt allowed. Tried to root without unlocking bl but links for "twrp_prerooted_Z1f.zip" are dead. Does anyone have that file? Is there any other way to flash cfw on my Z3c without unlocking bl?

Hello developers, I am considering to root my new Xperia Z1, but I don't want to unlock the boot loader. I was just wondering if I use vroot to root the Z1 but without unlocking the boot loader, will it avoid my Sony original warranty? Thanks. My firmware is 14.1.G.2.257

Well it may or it may not. You can just easily reflash stock firmware and root will be gone anyway. Done it once and they never suspected anything

In almost all cases you can restore your phone back to it's original state so they will never know, in the case when your phone is so bad that you can't restore it back with PC Companion or flashtool then you are still good because the service place will not be able to tell either, because your phone will not be booting at all .
Hi!
I've been given a few steps on how to root, flash a recovery and backup TA on my Xperia Z1 (steps are here http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z1/help/q-root-ta-backup-custom-recovery-help-t3143388 in the second post). My question is if I have to do something special to unlock the bootloader or just follow those 3 steps (1- root, 2 - flash a recovery, 3 - backup TA) and just then wipe the phone and flash a CM12.1 from the recovery? Or how can I unlock the bootloader and flash the CM12.1 on Sony Xperia Z1 (Honami)?
EDIT: !!! I found out that my Xperia Z1 says Unlock bootloader allowed: NO ! What can I do? Please?
Thank you for all of your answers!
I'm in the same boat and I have scoured the net for months and have found no solution, software or hardware or otherwise. I think we are SOL

hello I also have an xperia with the bootloader blocked that can not be unlocked.
What you have to do is to downgrade with flashtool looking for the software of your model, after you have already done the downgrade you can root with kingoroot for desktop and you can install the recovery I recommend the dual here they say how to do it.
if you are looking for a rom here there are some for bootloader blocked greetings.
Dear,
a clarification about it. I have the SO-02G and it is in the config as unlocking not allowed... I can root, I can install the recovery but I cannot flash new / different ROMs.
I see other with the same device of mine but with custom rom: did that model is available with locked and unlocked BL?
Which one is the way to force mine if so?
Cheers
Can I root Sony X Performance, without unlocking the bootloader, like by entering Supersu into the Marshmallow firmware, I have the Marshmallow firmware link, if anyone wants to edit, please

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..
