I was playing around with 4.3 last night and found a solution
- Flash the .67 firmware via flashtool
- Root 4.2 as you would have
- Backup the TA partition and Unlock your bootloader to relock the boot loader and avoid losing any DRM keys later
- Using flashtool flash the new firmware .569 (4.3)
- Then flash Doomlords advanced stock kernel
- Boot 4.3 and power down
- Using the recovery installed with the kernel flash a superSU.zip from somewhere around here.
- Reboot and you now should have root
- Reflash ONLY the .569 kernel from the FTF
- Power on and Restore your TA partition to relock your boot loader and return everything back to normal with root

You can't backup the TA after you unlock the bootloader!
It's the unlocking that kills the DRM keys.

Hi, i'm facing problem that i didn't make any backup of TA Partition. since unlocking the bootloader lost the bravia engine, is there any way for me to get it back (the bravia engine)? i noticed that the bravia still work for youtube's video, but not for picture.
thanks before

Stop asking the same question in every thread regarding root.
I already answered you in another thread.
The answer is no.

Totally agree with kingvortex
Do you think there is way to root 4.3 on locked boot loader without sticky thread or at least thread on the top list ?
No way right now to root 4.3 locked and when it will be found you will find a lot of propaganda & at least sticky thread for this in The Developer section .
So please Keep Calm and wait..

I don't get it ... so you are saying that you unlocked your unlockable bootloader? And you managed to root the latest update? That would be cool! But if I am not mistaken there's absolutely no way of unlocking a bootloader that is not allowed to be unlocked by the device. Anyways that would be cool if the devs give us this nice gift! But then again I am unaware that you can unlock the 4.3 as yet.

[Q] [HELP] Rooting & relocking BL newest firmware 12.1.A.0.266

Hi everyone!
After searching for rooting newest firmware of 12.1.A.0.266 with LB, I found that it may be impossible without unlocking my BL. So I decided to unlock BL & root it via DooMLord's method and relock again. But I have a few questions.
I heard it's important to backup my TA partition before unlocking so I do a search for it. So I found that root permission is needed for backup TA. Since firmware 12.1.A.0.266 cannot be rooted, I have to downgrade to Android 4.1 and root it by DooMLord's method. It's all OK for me.
But I need to know, if I do restore my TA backup that taken while running Android 4.1, on my newest firmware 12.1.A.0.266, can it be conflicted that lasting bootloop or bricking my device? And relocking my device will it definitely lock my BL to factory status? Please be kind to help me with these questions. :good:
Thank you all :laugh:

No restoring TA wont cause bootloop but to be extra sure you can first flash 4.1.2 restore TA and flash 4.3..

My friend,
Thanks for helping me! :good:
If I restore TA mean I'm relocking my BL. So if I flashed 4.3 again I cannot gain root access coz it cannot root without unlocked BL. Am I correct?
So how can I root 4.3, if I flash 4.3 over 4.1.2 as root is lost after flashing a new firmware.
Thank & Regards! :good:

You need to root on 4.1.2, install CWM. Download and flash a 4.3 ROM and last flash 2.266 kernel
But there are proper threads for this xD

Yes brother..... I see several threads that explaining how to do that. But I wanted to root official firmware by unlocking BL.
If I restore TA, should I relock BL after that or, first relock BL then restore TA?
Thanks!

To make it easy, unlock using flashtool. It'll automatically make a TA backup. Later when you're done flashing stock kernel you can easily click relock and it'll restore TA and relock it for you as easy as 123.

Bro,
Is that unlocking BL via Flashtool exactly same as unlocking via official Sony method? If I unlocked BL besides official method, can I relock it again successfully? And so, since official method needs to device connected with Fastboot mode, but Flachtool needs device connected via Flashmode to Unlock/Relock BL. Why is the different with this methods? Pls kindly explain this......
Thanks! :good:

Yess absolutely the same. I'm not sure about relocking it after using the official method but I think restoring the TA key actually means relocking it. Well actually you will need to fastboot on flashtool right after the flashmode. There is no difference in result. It's just an alternative way to unlock and relock. Unlocking using official Sony method is the old way of unlocking. Flashtool is just to make it easier and simpler. The result will be the same. But be sure that you make the TA backup before unlocking it for the worst case scenario not to be able to relock it

in which firmware u unlocked the bootloader and rooted the z1?

If you Unlocked your Bootloader when you was on JB 4.2.2 then you upgraded to KK 4.4.2 then that's the mistake...

no, i bought the phone with kitkat 4.4.2 on it
all what i wanted is to root the phone, while having the camera working at the same time

help me out ?!

Something wrong here, i can confirm unlock bootloader on 4.4.2 can't stop camera function. (i unlocked my phone on kitkat firmware 757, all working fine)
I think you did not backup DRM keys too?

Something wrong here too, it not come out of box with Kitkat, so I presume you was thinking you have it but you don't.
If you brought it used then different story, but the story of the phone we don't know.
So I don't know how to help here as Unlock Bootloader on 4.4 do NOT Breaking the camera functionality.

I bought it new from Sony with Kitkat on it in middle east -Dubai

The issue is being sorted via PM with me.
However, this is a synopsis.
The OP unlocked the bootloader on 4.4 - Camera works.
Then, instead of just flashing a custom kernel to gain root, the OP followed a guide for a locked bootloader to gain root. Once they downgraded to 4.2 the camera broke.
In order to fix this the solution is
1) Relock the bootloader (by restoring the TA partition if a TA backup was made, in this case not, or by using flashtool)
2) Use pccompanion to upgrade to latest FW
3) Re-unlock the bootloader by the official method (Or flashtool, if it was re-locked with flashtool)
4) Flash a stock based custom kernel
5) Install SuperSU from the play store.

I don't think so if you unlocked on 4.2
If you unlocked on 4.3+ it wont break anyway
try relocking the boot with flashtool, upgrading by pccompanion then unlocking again with flashtool

Some [Q] about Bootloader Unlock [Xperia T]

So I want to unlock my phone Bootloader and install a fresh AOSP 4.4
Mine current android version is 4.3 Jellybean ( 9.2.A.1.199) and on the sony bootloader unlock site when I insert the dial number it says "Root status ...... Allowed "
I rooted it today ( havent installed recovery buy I can do it later)
My questions :
Can my phone brick while trying to unlock the bootloader?
Do I need to download the latest version or the 4.1 version of android ?
All this I'm doing 'cus my 1 year warrantly has ended today so Why not ? :good:

Don't think the bootloader unlock procedure has much risk of bricking your phone... especially if you use the official Sony Bootloader Unlock method. But you may want to read up on backing up your TA before unlocking the bootloader.

I'd also suggest backing up your TA first. It's all in here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292598
If you unlock your bootloader, you lose your Bravia Engine. You can get it back when you lock bootloader, but only if you restore your TA. If you don't have this backup, BE is most likely lost forever.

I've done backing up my TA keys ( done the dry restore to make sure )
So Now I only need to unlock my bootloader ?
Still one question :
Can I use my current version of android 4.3
EDIT : Unlocked the bootloader , put rom , gapps , wipped WORKING AS A CHARM
Thanks for the help !
And if I would like to restore to stock do I need to relock the bootloader ?

Nice!
If you want to get your phone back to stock, just flash a stock FTF. Flashtool does not require the bootloader to be relocked for that.
Unless you mean "stock" for warranty purposes, or selling the phone... then I guess I'd say yes to relocking the bootloader, after flashing a stock FTF (and also restoring the TA, of course)

Thanks 4 The Info )))

As you're still using a stock based rom, open the dialer and type *#*#7378423#*#*
This will open the service menu, check under general service info (if I remember correctly). You'll find there whether or not your bootloader is unlocked.
Download flashtool by androxyde and the rom you want to flash (you'll find it here on the forum) and flash it via flashtool.
If your bootloader is unlocked, lock it with flashtool (though it won't make any difference as I'm pretty sure you didn't back up your DRM keys)

It means your bootloader is unlockable, but currently locked. You do still have your TA partition and DRM keys. To install stock 5.1.1 you can also use sony pc companion, it should be the easiest way. All your current data might be lost, though
