Hey guys,
I would like to change my LTE Bands with some software and guide I found here. I need root for this.
I am willing to root but not wiping data, if it can't be done without it, I would rather not root it.
Can you guys point me to a guide for Marshmallow? Found some on KK and some on Lollipop, none on Marshmallow.
Thanks a lot!
Dan
Almost the same as LP. Install or boot to TWRP recovery and use one of these solutions:
1. Use a custom kernel and flash SuperSU 2.52
2. Flash SuperSU 2.62
User data aren't wiped when rooting a Nexus 5.
EDIT: you must have an unlocked BL though. If it's not the case, you can't root without wiping user data.
BL is unfortunatelly locked. So basically I do need to wipe it. I think I would rather live without 4g until I upgrade to N5X.
If your bootloader is locked is no way to root without wipe data..to root M we need to flash custom kernel and custom recovery..its mean we need to unlock bootloader and it will wipe our data in intetnal storage
But anyone who could provide the suitable programmer_8626.mbn? blow is the link:http://pan.baidu.com/s/1o8N9mau I just make it by use sbl1 DDR aboot rpm tz partitions which from 41.1A BL &GPT file (some changes from singleimage_8626.bin). may be the file is not correct made:angel: 【sorry for my poor english】
Was your problem solved? Did you get to unbrick your phone?

You don't need a unlocked Bootloader to flash ftf's via flashtool as far as I'm aware flashtool should be able to re-lock it aswell. Not sure about sony's EMMA software as never used it yet. Restoring the drm/ta keys will also relock the Bootloader if you backed them up that is otherwise Your drm/ta keys are now gone forever if you have unlocked the Bootloader no more bravia engine x-reality and or supervivid and probably camera performance affected aswell and possibly anything else that relies on them. Do not try to restore other devices drm/ta keys either or you'll end up with a permanent paperweight. Also guessing that the drm restore fix doesn't cover any of the x range at all yet either and possibly doesn't always work. Try reading through a few z5 threads see if there's anything regarding relocking the Bootloader and how to do it. It may work it may not sorry I can't give you a definitive answer as I've always refused to unlock my bootloader so far as you lose what you get a Xperia device for but with drm-verity now in use its the only way to even get root i think

Yes flashtool works with totally stock unrooted device's personally I'd wait till it came through Sony pcc if stock or ota but if you know what your doing by all means use flashtool

Please open a new thread or search a little, the answer is in the root guide for XA: read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/xperia-z1-z2-z3-series-devices-drm-t2930672
Flash the zip for Z3+ in TWRP and reboot.
It will work on xa dual f3116???
Yesterday I performed a full unroot (superSU) and then I attempted to relock the bootloader on my Xperia XA (F3111) by running this command as root (while in TWRP)
Code:
adb shell dd if=/data/local/tmp/TAbackup.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1
The command was successfully executed but then my phone wouldn't turn on anymore. The SONY logo was only visible while I kept my finger on the power button. As soon as I let go of the power button, the phone was turned off.
Fastboot mode worked fine. Flash mode kinda worked but was acting weird: it rebooted the phone every other minute and went back into Flash mode. Recovery mode didn't work.
What have I done wrong? Maybe I should've added "bs=4096" at the end of the dd command?
Thanks for any suggestions.

It doesn't work if you don't flash the DRM fix or don't mount your TA backup during boot. You have the setting but it does nothing.

Nothing without drm/ta keys even if you put the sliders to the on position they WILL NOT be working due to unlocked bootloader same for Any other drm protected Sony content.
