[Q] unroot and leave no prove of rooting

first of all hi everyone.
i'm new to this forum, rooting and android alltogether and i've tried to look up my issue on the webz, but was unable to find anything that gave me 100% certainity.
info:
i'm running my R800i on the stock 2.3.4 GB (build 4.0.2.A.0.69) and have not rooted it so far, because of some remaining questions.
its flash is flickering (that's not what i'm asking^^) and i want to send it back in for repair, but as long as i keep it i'd like to root it to remove all the bloatware coming with it (facebook app, youtube app, timescape, video unlimited, etc.) and just maybe even flashing it with a doomkernel in order to oc it.
now the question is:
when i unroot it for example with the SE PC Companion (source) are there any traces left - especially some that could hinder the repair request - and if yes, how do remove them?
moreover i've read something about rooting being np guarantee-wise in europe. now that i'm from germany are there any issues with rooting (and probably sending it in rooted) at all?
thanks in advance for your help

Xperia Plays flash always flickers so sending it in for repair is pointless mate. Sorry :S

Accelerometer thingy Wont work.

So, hello there XDA, I'm Moon and that Topic Title isn't very informative i know.
But yes, Let me get this straight. I got an Used DHD running CM10.1 until last night on a lan after recording two hours 720p Video with flash i when i wanted to show a friend a youtube video noticed my auto rotation not working,
And well. i thought it was off? so i dont know for how long it didn't work, so after a huge hangover and a long day sleep i tried to Reflash cm10.1 versions without Luck, neither JB Miui roms. though sense gb and ics sense roms do work just fine? I didn't get an solution so right now i run Blackouts rom with sense 3,6 based of 4.0.4, but for sure i know having the accelerometer working on cm10 sometime. Would anybody tell me (if they know) how to fix this?
I'd be super thankful.

Hi sir, And sorry. i did search two Pages long and didn't spot your above mentioned thread.
I tried this "fix" and sadly can't get it to work. i also cant simply jump from rom to rom since I'm s-on But unlocked using HTCdev,
So i have to use cmd for all the boot image flashing.

Why dont you upgrade your phone ? There are 4.1.2/4.3.1/4.4.2 and you are still on GB ?
Jb stock or CM10.X have better performance than GB.
I didnt read someone getting sick of a silver screen on games so , give 'em a try and maybe you will fix that bug/error.

TGY devices cant upgrade to jb

[Q] 4.4 back to 4.3

Had enough of 4.4 till they fix all these issues. I was ok with the issues till my ringer stopped working and it would only vibrate (needed to be restarted)
So my question is:
- Flashing back to 4.3 .101 can I just uncheck data and cache or do I need to do a fresh install ?
Thanks

There is none and also not necessary, just flash an older version with flashtools.
It will not harm your TA partition.

So long 4.4 hello 4.3...... 4.4 .230 was truly horrible.... my phone was warm at idle....crazy... with 4.4 I was getting maybe 40% MAX (with Location turned off) the battery life of 4.3 .101..... I should add to my other thread title, "Impressed with 4.4 Rollout, Disappointed with 4.4" .....
Personally 4.4 isn't worth it, nothing special, maybe end of summer they will have it running well..........

The main problem isn't have a bug. But they took a long time to release this one, damn.
I'm not expecting for a bug corrector update so close. Does their developers did't get this one?
How about the Sony bug reporting? Does it can read a "slowly" interface and high drain battery as a bug, or just crashing on apps?

Not sure exactly what your asking, when I had 4.4 I had the following issues:
- 40% the battery life of 4.3 .101 (with location turned off)
- Email unresponsive pop up msg
- Ringer stopped working (only fix was resetting the phone, if you tired to go into sound, it would freeze for a few seconds)
- At idle the battery was draining a good bit and the phone was warm with no use.
- Choppy interface
- Very Laggy Keyboard
Not sure what else I am forgetting, but that's the most of it.... Don't understand how Sony could releases such a bad version
Bright side going back to 4.3 was great.....

I rolled back to 4.3 after 2 days of pain! Apart from battery drain (even with Google Play fix), and extreme lag in settings, not to mention that the Exchange Email has a bug that only allows a strong password to be used, I finally threw in the towel and went back to 4.3 where NONE of these bugs exist.
I for one don't like the 4.4 quick settings menu, it's a pain to have to go to the right and scroll where on 4.3 it's right there.
Even when Sony fixes their kitkat software, I pretty sure I'm staying on 4.3 for simply more stability and frankly I don't see really any big changes in the software.

Hi Guys....

The last ZL 4.3 firmware is 10.4.1.B.0.101. This build is very stable, no real bugs to report .. Over all, this is solid.

Thanks @enrique71
Good to Know.....if I want to try some new, I'll take it. But pretty Happy with the 4.2 also!

Yeah... you are absolutely right. I don't know how it's going for other phones, but what made me want KitKat was the new Runtime... the ART thing, that we don't have at this moment.
PS.: I don't know if the ART is even viable, in any KitKat out there, BUT that's what I was waiting for...

You must have not flashed the kernel or you flashed the wrong FTF. Be sure you are flashing the right file for your C65xx. Hold the reset button until it vibrates 3 times and turns off, then flash your file again.

i flashed C6503_10.4.1.B.0.101 R1C_Generic DE.ftf
shouldnt this work?!
i managed to reflash kitkat,
but i cant get my ZL working with 4.3

Anyone can give a good download link for.101?

Ya bro. I have too received it. But i had waited for it for a long time. I am going to take my chances. In worst case you could roll back to your previous firmware

Updated to kitkat (...230) via OTA . Everything works fine in my mobile . Application screen and homescreen transitions are much faster and smoother compared to jellybean (..101) . Seems that even settings screen lag is fixed. Not so happy about battery life compared to (..101).But not that bad.
