So I have a z5 on o2 and I want to try and root it, iv tryed all the rooting programs I can find on here,all the advice and nothing. Apparently on o2 uk it's not doable at all. Followed the guides and still nothing.
Has anyone else managed to root this phone on o2.
I purely want to use it to remove some bloat apps.

You needn't root to remove bloat. What you can't uninstall, you can disable either from settings/apps menu or adb.

My Z5 is from o2 and can be rooted the same way as an unbranded one.
This rom I made works fine on it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3341441

Hey people of XDA
Well question is kinda in the title I have an 02 locked Xperia J but the bootloader says no to being able to be unlocked so if i'm reading right I can't install custom roms
So any way I can get the bootloader unlocked?
Yes you cannot install custom roms based on custom kernel, but roms based on stock kernel should work.
And bootloader cannot be unlocked in your phone.

There's no way at all?
No, this is due to your carrier network, not Sony.

What about that SEtool2 thing? I tried contacting O2 but they gave me the run around :/ I really want it unlocked its annoying me lol
SETool does not work for the J if im not mistaken. And obviously O2 will not tell you how to unlock the bootloader.

Thanks for the advice people
Hiya,
I was wondering if someone with this phone could tell me if the model variant number is listed on the box somewhere? I'm thinking of ordering from tesco UK and I'm hoping its the E6653 version. If its not I will return and purchase elsewhere but was hoping to do so without opening.
Thanks
Yes it does

Swapped it for a Samsung galaxy s5,did softbrick it so took it to a shop and they've put foreign firmware on it as it shows lte instead of 4g,when I first had the phone it displayed 4g so maybe it's the software version the shop put onto the phone or wouldn't that make a difference

No. That what it should look like on stock rom with or without unlocked bootloader. I bet it works for you, if you have applied DRM fix, only that preview is glitched.

I already fixed it by reflasing my rom and restoring drm keys but I didn't install xposed I think it is the reason of this but can't confirm
EDIT : NO it is not xposed problem
