Hey guys! I unlocked my bootloader keeping my DRM Keys by using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292598
Now I'm on ZyxxOS ROM and I would like to return to stock ROM, make root and relock the bootloader.
The problem is that I don't know how I can root the phone after flashing the ftf of the stock ROM, can someone tell me how o provide me a link to a tutorial? I've searched and didn't see any around the forum

There is a big thread in the general section on how to root with a locked bootloader.

Flash an insecure kernel. Its the easiest way to root. But in the OP you said you wanted to re-lock the bootloader, then you cannot boot an insecure kernel.
Please let me know if you will have a locked or unlocked bootloader.

My plan is back too stock, then root and last re-lock the bootloader in that order

Why? You will lose root when you re-lock
Just go back to stock and re-lock then use the massive thread in the general section to root.
Also, that rooting method works on unlocked bootloaders as well. Anything that works on a locked bootloader works on an unlocked bootloader as well.

Right now I have the 4.0.4 Android( stock version) of the xperia j with locked bootloader and I've rooted-it and I've also installed the CWM.
I would like to install Cyanogen Mod 10.1 but since I have the 11.0.A.7.5 firmware I have locked bootloader and I can not flash it.
My question is if I can flash an older stock firmware and by doing so will I be able to unlock my bootloader?
From what I understand right now since I have a locked bootloader I can only flash stock ROMs so if that is correct than can I just flash an older stock ROM, one that will allow me to unlock my bootloader and than flash CM 10.1 on my Xperia J?
And another question- I know that by unlocking the bootloader I will also loose my warranty but from searching the XDA forums I saw that I can make a backup copy of my stock ROM and flash it to relock the bootloader again. Is that accurate ?
Thanks in advance for your help!
First is your bootloader unlockable. Then you can unlock on any firmware via sonys website. I dont think there's a cm10.1 released for j. If you unlock your bootloader you will loose DRM keys forever even if you relock they will still be gone that's how Sony will know your bootloader was unlocked.
It is not unlockable, that is why I wanted to flash another version of a stock ICS.
Won't that allow me to unlock the bootloader ?
From what I understood right now I can only flash stock Roms with the locked bootloader, is it correct or since I have the "NO" status at the bootloader I can't even do any of that ?
Do i really have to unlock bootloader to root it? If yes, can i relock it afterwards?

Yes, make sure to backup your TA first, otherwise you can't relock it again.

Hey! My Z5 is new and I don`t want to unlock the bootloader right now. It`s factory new, so Android 6.0.1 (E6653_32.2.A.0.305) is clean. no root, no superuser etc.
is there a way to root and install the twrp recovery without unlocking the bootloader?

You can root without unlocking the bootloader, but in order to install a custom recovery you have to unlock the bootloader.
For more information on rooting and unlocking the bootloader, see this thread:

You need to follow parts 1, 2, & 3 to downgrade your firmware, then you can root with iovyroot. It wasn't spelled out in the thread I linked to (sorry about that) but you'll need to go to the iovyroot thread and follow the steps there to root your phone.
Can I ask why you don't want to unlock the bootloader?

I want to root my honor 8 L04 but I was wondering if it will void my warranty.
Thanks,

Yes it does and the current method for rooting is kinda sketchy at this time. I'm waiting untill the lineage ROM is done and hopefully by then we will have a better rooting method.

Is it possible to relock bootloader after unlock? I've read a lot of opposing opinions about this :/

Yes you can relock the bootloader, however it will say relocked bootloader and not locked bootloader like it originally said so you can still see that the bootloader had been unlocked at some point.

To get the status "locked" back you have to downgrade to emui 4.1

I have one question, if I had unlocked bootloader, installed TWRP and rooted my phone, then unrooted it, reverted to stock recovery and relocked bootloader, can I still receive OTA updates?

You don't. You know the saying.... Once you go bootloader unlocked, you never go back. :laugh:
There's a DRM fix which brings back camera and other functionalities that are usually lost on unlock. So use that.
