did you try relocking your bootloader afterwards? can we do that and keep the root?
i did so on my xperia ZR, only problem is phone usually goes into bootloop after relocking of the bootloader, but i made a nandroid backup before the relocking, and after relocking just flashed some rootable fw installed recovery and flashed the nandroid i made before.

Yes and no...
You'll have read/write in recovery but only read in OS.
So basically, you'll have fully working root but you'll have to flash MODs or system APKs from recovery.
That shouldn't be problem...
This is (at the moment) best way to root your 4.3 OS
Sent from my Z1

If you have unlocked the bootloader and flashed one of the modified stock kernels from here then you have full root, and can write to system. I have done it several times today.

Kernel issue?
Ok, I followed this to the best of my knowledge but when I tried to flash the kernel.sin it kept giving an error that it's not a boot image... so I flashed the kernel from firmware in flashmode (by using the ftf but excluding everything besides kernel). Root apps work fine to my knowledge now, but am I supposed to be missing recovery now? I've tried installing busybox with no luck and can't get into recovery to install the zip. I'm guessing I did something wrong flashing the kernel in flashmode instead of fastboot. Can you give me advice? Thanks.
Edit: Got it with above post, thanks.

I want to try this now but do i need to back-up my TA before doing this?.using unbranded ftf

You should backup TA and DRM keys but if you are on 4.3 you can't because you need root. You have to downgrade to 4.2.2, root the system, backup everything, update again and follow the steps.

I got so amazing battery life so I'm scared to flash it again because from my experience when someting working very well you should not messing up with that. I will follow the steps to root this way only if I will had the opportunity to backup my TA and DRM keys, just in case something go wrong, without have to downgrade to 4.2.2. I do not want to downgrade at all so still undecided what do. I probably will wait and enjoy my phone this holidays and see if in few week coming up something new.
Anyway I still don't know well why I should backup my TA and DRM keys if with 4.3 everything working fine.

BTW ecplyptos about 20MP and 8MP in iauto, the one that we are talking yesterday, remember?. for me it's not important if our ftf is default in 8MP superior auto..do you have any idea why vodafone ftf superior auto is default in 20MP?.geez!

20mpx in iAuto seem to be worse than expected, this was said from users with that FTF. I also don't care about that but I don't like restricted devices at all and even if the pictures are not good as they should be I will like anyway to have that option, switch between 20 and 8. We don't know yet why Vodafone has that but to me is just a marketing move to be interested more on they stuff.

Nobody know who locked the phones, Vodafone or Sony, and why, can be for FTF compatibility, restrictions or something else.
Anyway with Locked Bootloader you can install custom rooms, you can install stock kernels, you can root your phone if it's on Android 4.2.2 but on 4.3 the rooting for Locked BL still in developing so you have to wait. The only thing which you can't install on your phone with locked BL is custom kernels. That's all.

could you give me an help please ?

No easy method work for now. Only solution is downgrade to 4.1, root and flashing some rom based on .199 build. Or there is some script that should help you retain root with OTA upgrade, but you still need to downgrade to 4.1.

First of all CM won't work with locked bootloader, and you can't install it using Flashtool. It contains Superuser app so it's rooted.
You can always flash your device with Flashtool using .ftf files to return it to stock firmware.
If you choose to unlock bootloder consider backing up TA partition of phone (there's a tool for that here but the phone has to be rooted http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292598) so you can restore your DRM keys later (if you return to stock firmware and you want to have Bravia engine and the rest of the stuff dependent on DRM).

yesterday unfortunately, I made confusion between ROOTING and UNLOOK BOOTLOOADER so I have unlocked bootloder using flashtool and the day after I have re-locked it. Have I lost sony DRM ?
I think no... becouse I don't make changes that affected device partition, is it correct ?
So I ve got to wait for better and simple method to root my device before make other experiment, what do you think about it ?

I think you lost it when you unlocked it cause TA partition got formated, it doesn't matter if you relock it afterwards.

Check if in the Album app if pictures change when using Bravia Engine; if you didn't back up your TA partition before unlocking, as far as I know, you lost your DRM keys forever, relocking won't change a thing.

CONFIRMED I lost DRM keys...
At this Point I decide to dance, I' ll downgrade to a version to root device by doomLord patch first. I found a post in which users explain how to install Bravia Engine 2 using PimpMyRom App. Finally I Will upgrade to Last Xperia firmware.... And I' ll do a big backup!!!
Are you according to me? You suggest to me something different?

I'd not worry much abt Bravia Engine. The pics appears slightly brighter, shadows are therefore a bit better, and the colours are a tiny whee little bit more vibrant. If I had to put it into a number the difference is somewhere below the 10 % mark %. You get better results by taking pictures properly in the first place.

2) by FLASHTOOL -> fastboot mode and install the v08 Doomkernel kernel.elf
3) by FLASHTOOL -> upon boot, go into recovery**, and install the zip SuperSU normally
4) by FLASHTOOL -> fastboot mode install the provided stock Sony 4.3 Kernel
5) Unplug your phone, boot it, and there you go, rooted stock Android 4.3.
* Which version of latest stock rom do you suggest for my V :
- the first that I downloaded from xperiafirmware.com 9.2.A.1.199.
- the second created (after installation of the first) with Sony Update Service SUS , decrypted by Flashtool and saved into .tft format ?
** ..."go into recovery" is automated upon boot ?
At the end can I lock the boot loader to recive pc companion updates ?

i´m not sure but i think it´s no necesary flash a clean intallation but it´s recomendable
if you have done a back up of your drm keys before unlock your bootloader this tool active fully again your drm
and no you don´t have to relock your bootloader, when you do a clean installation and you opened your bootloader this remaning opening and you can check on your dial *#*#7378423#*#* service test/Security
MARLIN [Key Ok] [Active] meaning your drm are Ok

Has anyone tried this yet? I really want to install this but i'm kind of scared....

32.2.A.0.305 Unlocked Boot loader, Need help How to root now ?

Hi,
I have successfully backed up my DRM Keys using .266 firmware. Now i have downloaded Russian Firmware 32.2.A.0.305 on my Xperia Z3+ Dual E6533. I am confused which Kernel is supported to root for 32.2.A.0.305 Android Marshmellow ? Please guide me. I want root access and restore DRM Keys to get my Phone Rooted with All sony features and .305 Latest Firmware.
thanks...

As far as I can tell, these are the only two kernels that support the .305 firmware.

Try setting SELinux to permissive mode.

I ain't that good at this stuff, but I was brave enough to flash a DRM-fix for Z5. It actually booted and made me able to root it, so I'm happy! It ain't my work, but I couldn't find the original post, so I hope it's okay to upload the .zip I downloaded!
Edit: Phone reacted pretty slow and camera didn't work, so trying some other things!

Downloaded the firmware and tried fix the kernel. Rootkernel v5.0 stuck at drm fix.

I have seen that you are one of the first Rooter of this phone and followed your posts.:good:
I'm Rooted running Stock firmware with custom recovery. Can I follow this guide for re-locking bootloader?
So theoritically,
1. flash a lollipop ROM using Flashtool
2. Restore TA Partition (this will relock the bootloader?)
3. Flash Marshmallow ROM and then wait for Android N update?
Do you suggest to wait for DRM fix and use Rooted Nougat?
Thanks.

Did you fix drm and root it successfully?

I have successfully rooted. Here is the guide and patched kernel if any one want.
