-We can install rom without unlock bootloader through RUU
-After unlock bootloader, I think you damaged warranty

You can install a ROM through an RUU, but not a custom one.

All roms? And root permessions? Guide?
Thanks

No..root is only with unlocked..guide in development section.

And in your opinion is Coocked rom better than original stock rom??? Guide?

There are some benefits to running custom rom depends on which one and people will vary on this its truly an opinion based thing. Also the warranty 'may' be void if you do. If it's an issue they deem related to the software you installed you're probably not going to be covered by warranty but if it's a hardware issue you should be covered

Sure, some custom rom are more smooth and fast of stock. If you have branded phone, with custom rom you can install the rom without the bloatware.

Dude, I'm sorry, this is going to come off rude, but i have to say, with the time you are spending asking for a guides, you could have spent two seconds in the development section and found what you are looking for. There are "stickies" for a reason!

can you link me a guide?
if i flash a rom the waranthy can be recupered?

uppppppppppppp

My friend had a custom rom, the phone break and they replaced the phone without issues. If your are afraid its better not no install

Let me explain, the problem is that the paint is flaking! if I unlock the bootloader to obtain root permissions, then I lost guarantee and therefore I did not replace (or wrong?).
if the problem is hardware, with bootloader unlocked is the same thing?
PS: I can not send time and unlock it later, because I would stay without Android and without phone and I could not!

Lack of roms?

Is there any reason for the lack of stock style roms available for the Z3? I'm contemplating swapping with a friend and I currently have the Z2 and would like the Z3. Now that root on an locked bootloader is available, I've been having a look at some roms but there doesn't seem to be any? Any reason behind this? I'm presuming the Z3 is the same as the Z2 in the sense that I couldn't flash anything but the Sony stock style roms? Like I couldn't install CM12 on a locked bl?
Thanks

Youre right, you'd have to unlock the bootloader to flash custom Roms like CM.
I guess there's a lack of customized stock Roms because Sony will (hopefully) update the Z3 to Lollipop very soon. Why bother working on a ROM and going through the whole debugging process if there's such a big update around the corner? That's at least my opinion on this.
After we get Lollipop I think there will be a variety of Roms.

Yes I am ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3012376).
As soon as the root for locked bootloader was possible I was in for it. Mostly for Xposed and a few other apps.

Should we drop our hopes for dev on this phone?

Not taking shots at devs AT ALL, I just want to know if it's safe to say that this phone won't have custom ROM's / Root option / Etc. any time soon. I've never owned a phone that has slower development and this is probably one of the most popular phone I've bought to date, so should I swap it out for something that DOES have customization options? Or should I just be patient?

Rooted and debloated the stock rom, very happy with it

But you unlocked bootloader to root it right? That's one thing holding a lot of people back from doing so.... OP is most likely asking about rooting without unlocking BL to backup TA DRM.

Locked bootloader root is likely to take some time and not be about any time soon. Once locked bootloader root is achieved more custom ROM's and Kernels will start to appear.
It's taking longer to obtain root due to all the new security patches what are being used in the firmware, on top of Sony RIC and DM-Verity.

There seems to be more activity with the Z5 Premium and Compact versions. I am sure that if more people were inclined to be beta-testers, devs would agree to try porting their work to our beloved device =)

Just got the sony xz the us version.

Im coming from a note 4, been using strictly note series since the note one. First sony phone i use, my question is how do to get the fingerprint scanner to function. I read somewere you can flash the uk version firmware and it will work. So is there a rom that has the uk version firmware built in? I still havent unlock the bootloader or rooted it. Still looking into that havent seen any real good guide on how to root.

TThaks for that, then after i follow that process i can then install an rom and it would still be active?

You can just install a xda developer rom and you'll have the fingerprint working... That process is if you want the stock rom

NOOB to Xperia! Flshing customized UK 7.0 ROM in place of Carrier Specific

Hi guys
I recently acquired an Xperia XZ, and ive had a few phones in my time, predominantly HTC, and Samsung.
My phone is 3UK branded, and i can see from the XperiFirm that UK custom is available to flash (3UK are terribly slow at updating their handsets)
Now i understand flashtool isnt ready yet for 7.0, but, is there anything stopping me from using the Customized UK at all? Does it de-brand the phone? wold be nice to remove all the bloatware, whilst remaining unrooted (as yes i use Android Pay and Pokemon Go lol)
Any advice would be great!
Thanks

Flash the customised UK one with flashtool then you will get the OTA.
I am with 3UK as well, but I can hang on for the update....

There will be no carrier stuff on the FTF, but there is not much on the 3 UK one anyway.
There is no risk of anything like losing DRM as that can only happen if you unlock the bootloader

Dear Sir,
Any chance you get a free to download link? Have been looking for customised UK Marshamllow for a while.

I don't know of one, sorry.
Ever since xperiafirn has been released no one share ftfs like they did in the past.
I always make sure i download mine before they get updated and save them.
