Hi.
I want to root my phone. I need ti unlock bootloader. Does unlocking bootloader break anything. I know on my z3 it messed the camera up.
Cheers for your help

Hi I have a Sony xperia s with the build number 6.0.A.3.62 but my bootloader is locked is there anyway that I can root my device on this build without unlocking my bootloader ? I'm new at this so any help is appreciated. Thank you
You could try SuperOneClick or UnlockRoot. Those are two PC based programs. You run them, plug in your phone and click the Root button, and then if it is possible to root your phone without unlocking the bootloader, one of those tools will most likely be able to do it.
If neither work, it probably isn't possible without unlocking the bootloader. But look in the device specific forum for your device for more guidance before unlocking the bootloader.
EDIT: It looks like currently you must unlock the bootloader for the Xperia S. There is no working exploit for rooting. The tools I advised above won't work. If you're not willing to unlock your bootloader, you can't root at this time.
Hey
I previously had an S3 and rooted it using Odin, however to root my Z3 can I use the program 'Root Genius'?
Just plug my device into the computer run the one click program and im done? Is it that simple? :fingers-crossed:
Thanks all
No
Currently you will have to unlock the bootloader in order to gain root. There is no way to get root on a locked bootloader ATM.
Just Google "Sony unlock bootloader" to unlock your bootloader but ensure you do your research to find out what features of your phone you will lose

Thank you.
I am unfamiliar with unlocking the bootloader and the ramifications involved in doing so, I think I will be patient and wait.
Thanks a lot for responding quickly! :victory:
Is there still no rooting options for locked bootloader??
Any other phones have been hacked and got root capability...
No. Pretty sure all phones from the Z5 need to have the bootloader unlocked.
All 64-bit devices Xperia Z3+/Z4 and onwards all require an unlocked bootloader for root. The real question you should be asking is... Can we get a DRM backup? With a DRM backup we can unlock and relock the bootloader as and when we want. Without DRM keys backup we can't relock the bootloader from my understanding. Thats the closest we can get to locked bootloader root unfortunately.
hm... too bad..
Yeah don't want to unlock unless there is a way to get the DRM key backup.
Not risking my warranty just yet.
Just want to know if someone work on an alternative to unlock the bootloader, i've just got my phone today and can't unlock it
no there isnt
I have a Sony Xperia z5 device from Au and it is locked with Bootloader, the Bootloader Unlock Allowed status on this phone is: No, I'm really upset and I want to unlock it and root it but can't find it. Anyway, I really need help from all of you, sorry my English is not good.
most root method require you to have bootloader unlock have you tried any action/procedure on unlocking it?
