Hello to all,
It's the first time for me with huwawei. I have PRA-LX1C02B158 and yesterday I have unlocked bootloader, flashed twrp and rooted with magisk.
All is ok but now I have a FOTA which I can't do since it reboots on twrp.
Now my question is: how can debrand completely my phone with no brand stock rom, then flash twrp and root with magisk?
For now I want to stay on nougat.
Thanks.

Ok, it's not like I didn't had search how to do it, it's just that so far my search has been very frustrating.
First, my phone has stock rom, v. 12.1.A.1.201 with JB 4.3. And I just want to flash a stock rom (maybe a little tweak to make it smooth and faster) + root.
So I searched (maybe not too good) how to do it, and I found this: to install any rom, you need to have an unlocked bootloader, so far so good, but then when you search on how to unlock it, surprise! you need to be root to backup drm keys ... Ok then, I tried another aproach, maybe flashing from custom recovery, but then again to install a custom recovery you need to be rooted ... back to the begining.
So if anyone can enlighten on how to fulfill my very reasonable request, I would be sooo happy.
No need to unlock bootloader in order to flash stock based ROMs or for rooting. But for flashing custom kernels/ROMs that need a custom kernel, unlocked BL is a must.
There are many guides. Check through this index.

It's sticky btw
Basically you have to (because you're locked BL),
1. Downgrade to 4.1.2
2. Root with DoomLord method.
3. Install recovery.
4. Flash a pre-rooted 4.3 ROM (.201) through recovery. Flash SuperSU update at the same time. Shutdown phone (NOT reboot).
5. Flash stock 4.3 kernel (.201) via flashtool.
6. Done. On rooted .201. Then install a recovery (because previous recovery got erased with ROM flashing).
#Details in guides. Good one here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2727143
**Optional: Do a TA partition backup and keep it safe. Someday you can unlock the BL
You can follow mrhnet's post that helped me solve my dilemma! You can downgrade your phone, exploit root, flash recovery, flash SuperSU and then backup TA. Once TA backed up, the freedom is finally yours!

Can someone please help me..
I have an Xperia SP currently running 4.1.2 rooted, bootloader locked.
My aim is to upgrade to 4.3.3 and root, for which i will have to unlock the bootloader. To do so I need a TA partition backup , for which again, root is required.
So, my question is that is it okay if I take a TA Backup now [in 4.1.2] and then upgrade OTA and unlock bootloader, root and then restore the 4.1.2 TA backup onto 4.3.3 in order to restore DRM keys and Relock the bootloader?
Has anyone done this?
is it safe?

Why don't you install a recovery and after that flash a pre-rooted 201???

You don't have to unlock bootloader. You can flash a prerooted rom with built in 201 stock kernel

Just go to the Android development section, and you'll find plenty. You can also choose to flash a stock based rom. I went from 254 to existenz 3.3.0 (which is 201)

For downgrading see my tutorial in link below (flashing with flashtool)
For rooting that 4.1.2 see: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2440375
and for CWM installation see: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2649923
I'd love to see you guys use search a bit more! This question has been asked a lot
Hi everyone,
Yesterday, surprisingly, I received an OTA update, the update number 7.19.401.51.
I am rooted with custom recovery and unlocked bootloader using sunshine (so I paid to unlock it), with stock rom and a bunch of xposed modules.
If I update, what I'm gonna miss? I know I'll probably lose the root, I don't even care about the recovery as far as the bootloader will not be locked again!
Thanks,
Andrea.

You can only install ota updates on a stock phone (stock /system and /data/preload) using the stock recovery, if your phone isn't stock this could result with a bootloop. You'll always loose root after an ota update and the bootloader status never change after an update. If you want to update to 7.19.401.51, better to use the RUU imo (or at least be ready to use it if the ota install fails)

Is it an important update? Should I take the time to flash the ruu and reinstall everything, or should I just skip it?

Hi All!
First of all I just want to get before any haters and say yes I'm an ass who should have read more about rooting and flashing but here I am..:angel:
I wanted to update my custom rom and to start fresh I decided to try to flash Format Data And wipe all on my phone.
Now the trouble i'm having is: no matter which version of twrp I use or how many times I flash my device with fastboot the error always comes when trying to flash a Rom onto the phone with twrp.
I can flash with flashtool so my phone is working for now but I've tried several times to go back to twrp but with no luck.
In twrp I've tried changing file systems wiping everything again factory reset. But no matter what I do the error still comes back with unable to mount system.
Any suggestions?
I do not have experience with custom Roms, but I know that these only work on unlocked bootloaders (exept this was overcome in the meantime) Have you unlocked it? Note: if you do you loose DRM keys. So backup before.

I've unlocked my bootloader via sonys website so I guess my DRM keys is long gone,
I have been flashing roms on it before so shouldnt be a problem really.
I guess I'm stuck with installing ftf files for now, got to have it for work tomorrow.

i got this problem too, when i flash another stock 6.0.1 rom (for SO-02G) on a Z3C (SO-02G) had installed 6.0.1 stock rom (D5833) using TWRP 3.0.2-0.
Then i need to flash back to stock 4.4.4 rom, and install new rom using TWRP 2.x.x, all work well.
So i guess u should flash back KK version before flash your custom rom. Goodluck
