Hi
I want to unlock my bootloader and root my M2. So i should do that in this order?
1. Downgrade to 4.4.4 from 5.1.1
2. Unlock the bootloader
3. Update of bootloader (?)
4. Flash 5.1.1
5. Root 5.1.
Is that right or i should do something more or less?
You don't need to unlock the bootloader just for root. If your gonna downgrade to KK just flash a pre-rooted zip via recovery on rooted KK
But i want 5.1.1 with root so if i downgrade and root i will not be able to update to 5.1.1 (cause when you have root - you can make update and if you flash the newest firmware root will disappear).
I thought that downgrade is necessary for unlocking bootloader thats why i mentioned about downgrade.
I just want to have rooted 5.1.1 because i need to delete lot of garbages from the apps and other personalisations.
So flash a pre-rooted 5.1 zip via recovery on rooted KK(this is what I've done to get rooted 18.6.A.0.182 5.1on LB ). Or update to 18.6.A.0.182 then use the dodgy kingroot app to root then change kinguser to supersu. Unless you want to use cm or omni custom roms it's pointless unlocking the bootloader when root is available on locked bootloader
I think this thread about PhilZ recovery is perfect for me http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-m2/development/d2303-philz-touch-recovery-6-t3047492
Thank you for help!
Yes it's a good working recovery. Used to use it myself

Just download the respective firmware and flash it via Flashtool.
You won't lose the drm keys.

1. So no problem if 4.4.4 (.93) is rooted?
2. If it's OK. Any chance to root Lollipop like i rooted
.93? (Giefroot method)
Thanks
No you can't root 5.0.2 with that method.
If you want to retain root, the only way is to flash pre-rooted zip via NUT's dual recovery.
I must unlock the bootloader to do that?
No you do not.
But you must ask questions in the question and answer section.

you'll need to downgrade to a rootable firmware then use one of the pre-rooted zip files for 5.1.1
Hi, I updated m device to the 6.0.1 and unlocked the bootloader with the intention to put a custom recovery mode in it, and eventually root it. Now I've read tons of topics where the followed procedure assumes a downgrade to KitKat and a preparation of a pre rooted Marshmallow, but isn't there a way to avoid this? I mean I only want root permissions, I don't want any self customized rom such as this sound.
Thank you for the attention, hope this is useful.
Install a custom recovery through fastboot. Flash SuperSU.zip through the recovery. You might lose the possibility to receive OTA updates by doing this however.
Hi
I have a Sony Xperia Z3 Dual (D6633)
Android Lollipop 6.0.1 Build 23.5.A.0.570 ( Original-Stock firmware )
Locked bootloader
I want to root it without flashing any new firmware, and without unlocking the bootloader
Just Rooting
If someone can make a video explaining, I'm using the translate BR .
thanks
For now, there is no known way to root this firmware w/o unlocking bootloader. Best way to obtain root is to downgrade to KK, get Root and recovery, and then flash pre-rooted MM firmware. Here is very good tutorial for that: http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/general/guide-rootrecovery-how-to-root-install-t3017056.
Also, I don't recommend to unlock the bootloader. bacause you'll get almoust only downsides.
So I have stock 5.1 on my XT1033, rooted and bootloader unlocked. I wish to un-root and relock the bootloader (for security reasons?) but without having to go through the trouble of flashing the stock firmware since I already am on stock.
Do I really need to flash the stock firmware in order to re-lock? If not, then how do I re-lock?
TIA.
the relocking of bootloader will change nothing. flash Nought Roms & try Magisk Root Manager to hide root in important applications like banking.
and go for nought rom which is way better than 5.1.
