[Q] Full Backup - Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I want to flash Lollipop on my Z3D but first, I want to make a complete Backup (including imei) because I have experienced the brick of a smart phone before and I don't want to face it again.
My phone is not rooted, and I want to keep it that way (warranty validity).
so,
is there a way to make a Full Backup without rooting?

No, but you do not lose Warranty from rooting.

If you wanna be on the best site, do a unroot before sending to service if you need to have warranty repair.
Do a unroot. For example by flashing stock ftf again. (It's possible on locked bootloader)

[Q] Root method question.

There are chances of creating a new method for ROOT, which is safer and you do not need to unlock the BootLoader?
Well I just bought my phone and I do not want to void the warranty.
The ROOT can usually be reversed without major problems.
Sorry for my bad english.
You don't need to unlock bootloaders to root. You can root and then restore to stock if need be without voiding anything.

If I try to root and something go wrong, can I use the SUS (Sony Update Service) to restore my device back to the official full functioning room?

Last question, where I can find the official Rom to flash?
I can't find a download for it. Sorry if I'm disturbing you.
Thank you again.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2361494 and look under "Stock Rom's"
There's a lot of FTF for offical one's.
I root by the framaroot app, and works fine, have an option to unroot device,

[Q] Returning to full stock?

I just wanted 100% clarification to whether on not it's possible to remove bootloaders, kernels and custom roms from the phone and restore it to its out of the box state, incase I need to return the phone under warranty? I have only had my phone for a few days and am itching to root my phone, but as its still so new I'm worried some manufacturers fault may arise and I have to send it back. Will they be able to tell if it was modified previously?
Thank you.

Moto g 3 - is there easy tool to root phone.

Hi,
is there easy tool to root phone. I don't need install trwp and custom roms.
I just need to root the phone - that's all.
There is no shortcut... you must unlock the device via Motorola's Official Unlock tool, this will wipe your device and void the warranty. Then you can boot TWRP (without flashing it if you wish) and install root.
Sorry, but since Lollipop, and all future versions of Android, there will be no more quick root solution that can be done without unlocking and following the "old normal" procedure, Google made sure of that, for now at least until someone discovers an entirely new way to root.
i was thinking that there is some easier way.
Motorola has app (Moto care i think ) that can remotely wipe phone when lost. When i was activating it there was some info about root access.
So i need that tool:

??
How to boot into TRWP without flashing it ?
Is there way to lock the phone after unlock process ? For example when I won't need any more rooted phone.
Yes
You boot twrp with the 'fastboot boot xxxx.img' command
Your phone will always show unlocked, even when relocked, unless you flash a stock rom image using a special OEM lock procedure. TBH, almost no one bothers because it will always show tampered and you won't get the warranty back.

that's not good information. With my "luck" to phones it probably will need warranty after unlock
what else will i need to unlock it ?
Motorola unlock tool - i know.
i suppose drivers for phone, what else ?

There is no "tool"... Just drivers (Win only), a few fastboot commands, and Moto's website, it's all manually done with the G3.

If you are ready to root your phone, then don't think about warranty. every warranty voids at one day, then if you want full control over your phone , you must ready for everything, otherwise don't root .
Before doing anything, you must do a backup
Read everything and understand then hit ok in all steps of Android rooting life .
There is a root tool called One Click Root. It seems great. have a try.

You are saying backup before doing anythig... But how to backup it? When we unlock all data get wiped... So there is nothing to backup... Device is very clean...

You should back up as much as possible before you unlock the device. Photos, Videos, etc - you can back-up to your SD card. Contacts, Calendar, etc. can be backed up on Google.
I'm not sure about other app data, like in games.
Before you root, consider whether you actually *need* to root your phone for you to use it. Often, a lot of the 'control' people mention, is something they hardly make use of. One popular reason for rooting might be ad-blocking, but if it's just to block ads in browsers, there are various browsers available with ad-blocking enabled (firefox for instance with a plugin) and if you want system-wide ad-blocking, there are services such as AdGuard, which work with a local VPN / without rooting. More 'control' also means you're potentially making your device less safe. Lastly, the Moto G3 is very clean to begin with, very close to stock Android and the Motorola apps that are included are generally considered to be useful instead of bloat.
TL;DR, think before your root / gamble with your warranty, don't just root for the sake of it.
That said, good luck

Yes, you can restore your phone fully to stock after you root it. Once you unlock your bootloader and lock it again (while restoring to stock), it is possible that OnePlus will be able to know that the bootloader had been unlocked before.
But this shouldn't affect much because unless you are overclocking your CPU and thereby damaging the hardware components, your warranty won't be void.

[Q] Backup before unlocking bootloader? Custom kernel on locked bootloader?

Hello. What's the easiest way to backup everything (and I mean everything, including detailed app data) before unlocking my bootloader? I want to flash a custom kernel with minimum modifications to anything else, and obviously I want to take a backup of everything before I lose them with the unlock process, but I haven't been able to find a way to do so on a stock ROM that's not even rooted.
Or is there a way to root my phone before I unlock it?
I've never had a OnePlus device before, so here I am, asking dumb questions. :silly:
Also, one more question (in three parts, sorry!): since some of the newer apps, especially banking apps, have started using stricter safety procedures, they can detect an unlocked (or even merely rooted) device, and so they don't work. 1) Is there any way I can use a custom kernel on a locked (or relocked) bootloader? 2) Is it possible to use a custom kernel on an unlocked phone that's not rooted? 3) If neither of the two is possible, how can I prevent said apps from detecting my unlocked bootloader and rooted phone?
Thank you very much in advance for taking the time to answer all of my questions.
