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 .
I had already rooted my z1 when on 4.2.2... But now the 4.3 updates removed the root... Unlocking bootloader ia only option as far as I know.. So I want to ask is..
A) if I unlock bootloader will I loose xreality engine? If yes how do I save that from not happening..
B) is there a "stable" way to install CWM recovery amd not unlock bootloader..? Is there is.. Will mybstock features be affected such as loss of xreality n DRM keys?
C) is there a way to unlock bootloader without looaing DRM keys? If so again will I loose the z1 features?
Please help..

A) if you unlock bootloader you WILL loose xreality. To get it back restore backed up TA partition. You can't have unlocked bootloader and xreality at the same time. Here is a video on how to get full root on 4.3: http://youtu.be/1aq9YTlfCgc
B) Yes you can install the recovery on any rooted Xperia Z1. You don't need an unlocked bootloader to be rooted.
Here are some more explanations if you are confused http://youtu.be/l78p_2ShPS0
C) You will always loose DRM keys when unlocking but you can back them up before unlocking to restore them later
Out there are 2 ways only how to root your Z1, both are for Locked Bootlader. 1 best way is here step by step, page 2, Post #16 http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...2588331&page=2 or NUT method here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2572988
..and what @shem2409 said it's all right.
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?
So I personally took a Xperia Z3 + Dual E6533 I updated to 7.1.1, so I did not like it because it was very quick to unload the battery, then I tried to install a custom in it, I went to do the bootloader process in the configuration of the device say no and allowed bootloader, how can I solve this takes the bootloader-no, to bootloader-yes do I have to do downgrader or is it even impossible? I'll be stuck forever in the sony rom stock?:chorando::chorando::chorando:

1- In order to downgrade to Sony's stock rom you don't need to unlock your bootloader. All you need is a firmware of your choice, which comes in form of an ftf file, and flashtool. Plenty of guides on the Internet and xda about that.
2- If you insist on unlocking your bootloader and you are aware that it will permanently and irreversibly erases your phone's drm keys, you should disable myxperia and any other taking app you may have on your phone first. Then likely the status will change from no to yes.
Hello all, as a newbie, I will buy XZ2 for flashing ROM very soon, so I would like to ask if the featured functions can be restored.
As we know unlocking the bootloader removes some Sony's features like DSEE EX, Widevine L1 etc. Can I restore these features simply by repairing the software with Xperia Companion? If not, how can I get back these functions after I've unlocked the bootloader? And can DRM backup helps?
Thanks a lot.
bump ,i also in the same question
You need backup TA partition before unlocking bootloader, then restore it after unlocked bootloader
