Hi,
Is there anyone who successfully flash or remove bloatwares for 501SO?
I have 501SO with a locked bootloader. Tried search the whole Z5 section, and no luck.
Is there someone who can pinpoint or can guide with this?
Thank you.

Hello!
I bought a phone, with unlocked bootloader and root.
So i flashed it to 23.1.A.1.28 lolli, fixed super SU and dualrecovery.
The thing is, I now want to return it to stock, so that i can get OTA by Sony Companion, and i have no idea how to do so.
Searched the forums, and found a lot of info, but I dont want to brick or ruin anything.
Can anyone please give me a step by step guide in how to do so.
Do I need to remove root, flash stock firmware, remove dualrecovery or relock, or maybe all of it?
And probably most important, in what order do I need to do it?
Help is sincerely appreciated !
Hello!
I bought a phone, with unlocked bootloader and root. Z3 D6603
I dont know exactly how the previous owner unlocked BL etc.
But I flashed it to 23.1.A.1.28 lolli, fixed super SU and dualrecovery.
The thing is, I now want to return it to stock, so that i can get OTA updates by Sony Companion, and i have no idea how to do so.
Searched the forums, and found a lot of info, but I dont want to brick or ruin anything.
Do I need to flash stock firmware without root, remove dualrecovery or relock BL, or maybe all of it?
I posted this earlier, and im not sure if I explained it right, I said I wanted a step by step guide.
What I meant was a guideline in what ORDER to do stuff, not how to do them.
Is it enough to relock the bootloader, and then use Sony Companion to update, or do I need to flash something, maybe go back to original recovery first?
Help is sincerely appreciated !
PS: Sorry for posting again, but I dont know how to change the headline/bump the post, and need this done ASAP, or else I wont have a working phone in a few days. ( Change of sim card)

Nothing. If it is unlocked and you dont have backup of original TA partition. There is no help. You can't get you DRM keys back and without them you cant relock to original state. And majority of Sony stock fw simply doesnt provide OTA for unlocked bootloaders, except for the new Sony Concept ROM.
You may try to download Androxyde Flashtool as it provides relock function, however it doesnt restore TA. If it brings OTA back not sure, because I always backup my TA so just try it.

Hey everybody I really want to install this on my Xperia Z5 and I'm a total newbie in Android Development, rooting and stuff.

This one is for Z5 and I really like to have this on my phone, The difference of this with the other ones in "Cross Device Development" is that it doesn't require root, I don't want to root my phone nor unlock my bootloader and I think I can't cause in Service Menu; bootloader unlock is not allowed as I'm on Vodafone UK.
This mod requires Deodex and then flash via recovery, What I'm asking is that doesn't installing a recovery or to deodex using it require root?, correct me if I'm wrong but it appears that there's already a recovery available on the Z5 if so can I flash that using Sony's own recovery?
In short is there anyway to install this on my Z5 Without rooting?
Cheers mates!

No, you can't. You can't flash anything not-sony-signed on stock phone.
Locked bootloader with stock kernel is completely closed and protects system partitions.
You must unlock you bootloader to do anything you can find in these forums. Absolutely no other way.
If you wish, you can try searching on Play store an app (launcher) that emulates Xperia X home launcher. If there's any, it will be limited in comparison with the solution provided in the thread above, as it will not change System UI elements.
Regarding unlocking, please enable "OEM unlock" in developer settings (tap many times on "build number" in settings -> phone info ). Try again to check your Unlocking possibility in service menu.
Thank you, thank you very much for your reply, The Xperia X launcher is already available on Beta Home Program, however it's the lockscreen I really really like, such a shame that you can't get it without root.
Hi,
I did root. Now I neet to remove root and fully lock my bootloader because I'm not satisfied with this phone and I want to return it. Can you help me please? my build is FRD-L09C432B131
Thank you in advance!
1. You posted in the wrong category.
2. If i'm not wrong when you lock the bootloader it will say "Relocked". So they will know you already played with the phone.
You can delete this thread. Sorry about this.
Its enough to flash original recovery and then run update.app
Can I root with stock rom without unlock bootloader ?
Is it possible to use OTA update when I rooted ?
As far as I know some camera function, DRM keys and warranty will be gone if I unlock bootloader.
Some people told me to flash AndroPlusKernel to make camera work again.
I'm still don't fully understand about how AndroPlusKernel work, I've tried to go to their main website but I can't seem to find any explanation there.
Can anybody please explain it to me or please tell me where can I find some more information about this ?
Thank you.
