So, I asked a friend to install cyanogenmod lollipop on my device couple of months ago. Now that the official Xperia update is out and because I don't like cyanogenmod, I want to install the official lollipop release on my device. Currently I have official sony android version 4.4.4 flashed on my rom. My phone's bootloader is unlocked so, I can't update it through the official OTA release. (Also, I do not have a backup of my DRM keys)
So either help me re-lock my bootloader, or tell me how to flash the official Sony Xperia Z lollipop on my phone!
Device: Sony Xperia Z (C6602)
Current Android Version: 4.4.4
Bootloader: Unlocked

Has been told many times, you can't root without flashing an old firmware, also this topic is in the wrong place, You shouldn't ask questions here
Hi everyone!
I'm starting this thread as I myself need help with rooting my Sony Xperia M2 [D2303] [Lollipop 5.1.1 - 18.6.A.0.182] using OS X.
I have an unlocked bootloader already and previously tried to flash a custom recovery which failed and put me into a soft-brick situation with continuous bootloop.
Now I think i'm going to ask you all for help rather than make any further mistakes myself.
Really a definitive guide for OS X users is needed.
Thank in advance!
If you have unlocked bootloader why don't you updated your bootloader than flash SuperSu? There's thread by @linuxct on how to update bootloader. It shouldn't be any different than Windows
Good Luck!
