I am thinking of getting the Canadian version of the A70 , I am aware that currently there is no way to unlock bootloader for this version
Can I root it without unlocking? Asking primarily so that I can backup and restore using titanium.
Also, do you think it would be possible to unlock in the future?

Im not sure what the advantages is to unlock the bootloader then obtain root, now as there is a way to root without unlocking bootloader..
can anybody elaborate?? obvious advantage is that sony cant disclaim warranty issues with a locked bootloader.
i would also like to know this

So read under android development
At a guess unlocked boot loader will allow installation of custom roms
Root will allow running software that requires root like root explorer

Are there any ROMs worth installing yet? I feel like its a lot of bloatware that I dont need are installed with it so it would be nice to clean it
i think everybody that even visits xda know what root is, but unlocking BL vs locked prior to root?
if it`s only the custom roms that cant be installed I`m keeping mine locked and just gonna root. im quite happy with the stock rom.

You can install stock based ROMs with a locked bootloader, as long as you stick to Sony's kernel.

Hi,
Is there a way to have root access without unlocking the bootloader, or rephrased is there a way to get root without HTC knowing what i did?

No, known methods of rooting without unlocking don't work on the one. I tried motochopper and srsroot.

What a pity since you loose all your warranty when unlock..
Is it possible to downgrade to 4.3 without unlocking the bootloader?
I really need root but I can't unlock the bootloader since I need the warranty too.
Thanks!
Hi, I could be wrong, but I believe even with having an unlocked bootloader, you wont be able to downgrade to 4.3. You should however be able to root once you unlock your bootloader. Sadly, I believe there is no method currently of rooting your tablet without unlocking it. What do you need root for?

Thanks for your answer, that's what I thought. I did find a guide for downgrading to 4.3, but it seems that it's only working with a unlocked bootloader.
I use root for things like Xposed, Titanium backup etc.

Hi, do you mind linking me to that forum that shows you how to downgrade? I am on 4.3, but I am curious about trying 4.4.2 out and want to be able to bail out if I want to

Hi,
I have a VIE-AL10, firmware B183. I am trying to update to B195 but I believe I cannot do it because I unlocked the phone.
I don't need the unlocked bootloader anymore (for now) and my idea was to relock it and unlock it again in the future but unfortunely I have lost the code I got using DCUnlocker.
There is a way to recover the code in this unlocked and rooted phone?

U can update with unlocked bootloader but not if u have TWRP and root. If u have it i need to unroot and install stock recovery.

Thank you, I imagined that. Any way to recover the unlock code so that I can redo the unlock procedure after I upgraded the phone?
