11w33 is very risky,i recommend you to not try to unlock bootloader,because the chance of success is so so!

11w29+ is RISKY. Just because a couple of people have unlocked theirs does not minimize the risk. you were very lucky.
on topic: google is your friend here. afaik, setool2 is an option if you want to go by the paid route.

If you cross flash your phone (e.g. flashing C6603 firmware to a C6606 phone), it is no longer possible to update or restore your firmware through any of the official ways (Sony PC Companion / Sony Update Service / Sony Bridge for Mac / OTA), because your TAC (Type Approval Code = first 8 digits of IMEI) doesn't match anymore. C6603 TAC is 35576205 and C6606 TAC is 35676805.

What? U can flash ftf C6603 to a C6606 that is no problem. U need flashtool then u also can root it doomlord easy root and u can even install a dual recovery even with locked bootloader. U just can't flash some costum roms CM based ones with an looked bootloader. Other then that it really doesn't matter. Just make sure the rom says looked bootloader when flashing.

Yes. Agreed but what if OP thinks differently? i think we shd inform OP about TAC consequences if flashing fff of another model number of same Xperia Z. Just as apollo said. Let OP decide whether wanna do that or not. But this abit warning needed to be given in formal. Cheers.

Yeah well yeah he shouldn't flash a C6602 rom because then he loses the option to select lte.
Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

The first thing to say would have been that the bootloader on a C6606 cannot be unlocked anyway.
You should also have advised the OP to exclude the baseband during flashing of a C6603 ftf to a C6606 as flashing the baseband would apparently cause loss of LTE.
Edit : Apparently, it is safe to flash other basebands. Just going off what other people that actually have the phone were saying initially. I stand corrected on that one.
Or just link to one of the threads where this has already been discussed, like this one - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2372664 instead of going over the same ground again.

Google doesn't say something for your problem? Which tutorial/method you use?

You need root to backup your TA, so yes and no
Strictly seen you don't need it to unlock, but i strongly suggest you do backup your TA do you can restore your drm keys should you ever have the need to

I don't think you understand. There are some devices where you cannot unlock the bootloader at all, even if you wanted to, therefore that guide is no use to people that own those devices.
I'm not asking for help by the way. I have an unlockable bootloader and am fully aware of how to root.

Just search in the Xperia Z Android development and look for the rooted 4.4.2 roms by @Rajeev and @zippy01 and follow the steps howto install and tadaa you have root on a locked bl !!!
Verstuurd vanaf mijn LT22i met Tapatalk

LOL indeed.
Please people read and understand what I was responding to before quoting me and trying to be clever again. Posting a guide that requires unlocking then relocking the bootloader is not a method of rooting with a locked bootloader for the reasons in the post of mine that you quoted without reading properly.
We all know that you can downgrade to gain root and flash any stock based rom that you want. You will see that I already suggested it in the second post of this thread.
