What's the difference between root and unlock/lock?

Hello i would just like to ask what's the difference between root and unlock/lock?
For a specific reason i am trying to install a premium game (a cracked APK file from apkmania.com) and it requires for a Lucky patcher of the game so that it's license verification will be somewhat disappear, and when i was browsing about that lucky patcher it says that i need to have a rooted device, so can i do a root of my device without unlocking it?
Also my phone's build number is 11.0.A.5.5 Sony Xperia Miro and this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2014188) says that my phone should be rooted on a 11.0.A.1.0 firmware but my phone is not rooted on that build number because once i purchased my Sony Xperia Miro i immediately upgraded it to 11.0.A.5.5
Now my question is how can i downgrade my phone to 11.0.A.1.0 firmware so that i can root it then upgrade it to 11.0.A.5.5 then root it again thanks

Maybe you should try to root it with some other method first. If you want to go back to previous version, just flash that version instead. Maybe you should try srs root, a new unlockroot style program.
Sony Xperia Tipo ST21i

You can root your Miro on 11.0.A.5.5 without rooting on any other firmware, download unlockroot and use that. I used it on my Miro what shipped with 11.0.A.5.5.

I've upgraded my C3 Dual into Lollipop 5.0.2 and now I'm unable to root it! can anyone help me??

Root works using flash tool for C3 dual
Hey,
@RaiyanShishir and all first of all you need to downgrade from lollipop to stock version and then
1. unlock the bootloader using sony company's website
2. download your device drivers and install them
3. Use flash tool to input the code you got in mail from sony
4. after having bootloader unlocked you have to add custom recovery
5. you have to go in fast boot mode and using flash tool install the recovery
6, once installed switch off your device and load in the recovery mode
7. from there click on install zip and select super su zip file.
Download links are given below
I am not able to share the flash tool link it is giving me invalid file error.
for flash tool you can search on google or else visit my website from my profile and in there
you can find a detailed article.:laugh:

No root permissions help

Hi guys,
I found the kingroot app somewhere in xda and successfully root my lollipop z3, but I didn't directly flashed nuts recovery, (my fault)
I deinstalled the kingroot app and rebooted and my root permissions was gone, although when I install it again it shows me I'm rooted,
Also root checker shows, I have the şu binaries installed but don't have root permissions,
I don't have a recovery
I have the su binaries
But I don't have root permissions
Also tried supersu but don't work
Pls help me :/ I'm not a noob but this is really hard to figure it out
I appreciate any help
Thanks

What firmware version are you on? Flash back to the shipped firmware FTF for your region and use giefroot instead.

I'm on 690 German ftf

to be honest you would be better off downgrading to a .77 KK rom and then using giefroot to root it and then install nuts dual recovery and installing a pre-rooted LP rom

plz help,i cant root my xperia z3 dual!!!
