FTF, flash with flashtool. TA removed. You don't have to wipe data if you're on the last version of 4.4.4 from rogers or elsewhere, works fine.
Hi there, I'm a total newbie to FTF flashing for the Xperia Z1. Just for my own clarification: I have a stock, unrooted, locked bootloader Rogers Xperia Z1 on 4.4.4. I can flash this using the flashtool and I will be on lollipop?
Thank you!

Yes
You will loose everything - install apps, settings, etc.
Only items on your External SD card will remain untouched.

Hii
I just got my Z2 rooted with this method
I just followed the steps
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/general/guide-how-to-root-xperia-z2-android-5-1-t3253878
Just one question
My bootloader sayz unlock not allowed...
Can I now flash TWRP or not?
Or is it just that I can not flash kernels??
I dont understand what is diffrent with bootloader locked and unlocked
Mine as I have read is locked forever so I dont want to brick my device or something...
Some advice about such bootloaders and what I can NOT DO would help me to understand
Thanks in advance
EDIT 01:
I just have followed the link in that post where I have rooted the phone
And just got TWRP installed as my recovery
So just to let you guys know evan dual recovery works fine with L5.1.1.
Just to say I have LockedBootloader
So guys please advice me for further
What restrictions do I have with the LB in diffrence to Unlocked BL
Can I do exact the same flashing of things like they on unlocked BL or not?
What should I be carefull about
Please guy give some info
1- With locked bootloader
you can only flash sony stock based roms (you can flash miui rom as there is a version with sony stock base).
you cannot flash cyanogenmod or custom kernels and any other rom.not based on stock sony.
2- with Unlocked bootloader
You can flash any custom rom or kernel for xperia z2 including cyanogenmod.
But you will LOOSE your DRM keys if you unlock your bootloader which will degrade the camera quality and xreality engine...

You cant accidentally unlock your BL and if it says it cant be unlocked Im afraid it is locked forever. There is no any way to unlock it AFAIK. If you have root, which it looks like you do, you can install TWRP by downloading an app TWRP manager from the plat store, give it root permission and in Install section find your variant of Z2 and let it doo its thing. It will automatically flash recovery.img and reboot and thats it.
Now you can flash all [UB] as unlocked bootloader marked roms, but no custom kernels and AOSP ROMs.
In my experience, if you try to flash something for LB it will just produce an error and you can reboot your device normally without any changes.
Thanks guys !!!
No its all clear to me

You can only root X Compact if you UNLOCK your bootloader. Be sure, to BACKUP your DRM keys before unlocking! You will need to use dirtycow backup tool found in Sony Cross-devices forum. After you are unlocked, you need to flash recovery (TWRP) and either SuperSU or phh's superuser.
Everything you need is here on forums. Once again, BACKUP your DRM keys, because unlocking bootloader deletes them irreversibly.
Hi All,
I have an Xperia z5 E6633 which I have previously rooted and in doing so unlocked the bootloader.
I am trying to get it back to stock as much as possible and hopefully reinstate the Android Security Updates, does anyone have any experience in this?
So far I have flashed a stock firmware and locked the bootloader using Flashtool, Flashed a what I believe to be stock kernel but am still unable to get OTA Security updates.
I think I may have installed a kernel for E6683 as well as the device is listed as such on the Xperia Companion and on Flashtool and believe flashing the stock kernel will fix this, though I dont seem to be able to find a stock kernel for E6633 on the internet.
Does anyone have the stock firmware/kernal currently and could possible provide these for me to flash?
Many Thanks.
