Rooting will give you simunlock. However, there is no guarantee it will work for all carriers. There are some it does not work with.

Google for a website that sells them.
You bought it in the uk, did you buy it from amazon uk or any online service? Contact the seller to see if he can help you.
I don't know what you mean by booting method.
Right now, all I can say is google is your friend.

Yes. Use the ace hack kit only to unlock/root your phone. Do not use any other method. You can flash anything in the dev section. Read the op (first page) before flashing. It will list what works and what bugs are listed.

As I know, all Dhd can be rooted by AAHK you must only follow the instructions.
As for me, the best ROM we have today for our device is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1778202 there are few bugs only, but not critical for me If you want the ROM with Sense, look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1792074 but this ROM works more slowly

pannekoek28 said:
You can always root your device. You will still receive OTA (over the air) updates. I highly recommend to root your xperia S, because it is very easy and I can't name a negative thing about it. To root your .55 firmware, search in the android development thread for a topic about rooting this specific firmware. It's called New root method or something like that. I'm on my mobile now so I can't give you a link.
As for bootloader: yes, you can unlock it. I personally don't recommend it, (a lot of others will), because you won't be able to go back to normal and I find it very difficult to do. There are about 2-3 ROMs that can be installed with a locked bootloader. I also have a locked one and used Xzxperience 2 for quite a time.
Good luck with rooting (and unlocking?) and welcome to the forums

Yes Having a locked bootloader is a good idea till JB rolls out

well mate i have already rooted my LT 26i to Jelly bean, it will be June to get official update.
don't worry about the warranty, u can re-lock your boot loader any time and flash it with .55 and no one will know that u had rooted your phone and u can do the official updates with OTA or PC companion or from service center.
i can 100% guarantee u that cz i have already tested it on EMMA ( official software for Sony )
if u want to know the details how to unlock boot-loader, root and install leaked Jelly bean, its all in the forum
if u don't understand then i can help out

I really enjoyed the ROM. It had some nice features (toggles in status bar, CPU over/underclocking) and a really nice look.
To be honest I'm not really sure about OTA updates in custom ROM's. As far as I can recall you will NOT receive OTA updates. But you don't need them, because you can flash the official JB firmware when it's out with flashtool.
Good luck

I know this ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2139152) is for locked bootloaders too. That's all I've found yet.
I havn't tried this one, but I am planning to do so. (after JB ofcourse )
I will stick with .55 firmware now, until JB releases. If I like it I will keep it (will use some mods though).
If I don't like it, I will switch to the ROM above. If I don't like that one I might unlock my bootloader.

nice!!! thank you! so if i root my phone and keep the bootloader locked i can still receive the new update when it rolls out.right?
and one noob question.whats the point of rooting it if not using another rom?just to overclock?

There is no need to worry if u want to root the phone or unlock the boot loader nor u have to get worried that u will loose your warranty.
i have already tried it on official software

[Q] Sony Xperia ZQ important questions

Hi, I m from Brazil
I just bought a Xperia ZQ and it s my first Sony. Can you help me with some questions?
I ve already know that I can change my carrier version by another registered one downloaded right here in xda website without root or unlock the bootloader, right?
As I m not a developer, why would I need to root and unlock the bootloader?
Where, if It is possible, can I find different skins and themes for it?
How can I know about new upates? For example, new releases of firmware or android versions?
Thank you

Its called Xperia ZL so just search it on the search for device bar. You dont have to be a developer to unlock as unlocking can give you cool roms that can be very much customized.

You get updates thru SONY and you will get a notification when you can get a update.
To see if you can unlock your bootloader go to
http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions as it will tell you the directions then once you have unlocked, go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2095 and find some roms. ( its a little dangerous if you dont know what your doing ) and UNLOCKING will void the warranty

The phone is fantastic, but the battery is below average even with 3g, altough the relates i hear about SIV are even worse. Since HTC don't sell officialy in Brazil anymore, i don't trust in LG and Motorola don't have a rival for these phones i think ZQ is the best choise.
I'm a heavy user, so i charge it twice a day,but with moderate use + stamina mode i think you can get a day of battery.

I was looking for the MEA one to hopefully solve if the Wifi issue in Syria
I will report back once I finished downloading/testing
More Deatils .. if you're interested (sorry for posting here)
I tried the official update via PC Companion (after relocking) but still I had the same problem (phone freezes completely after turning WiFi on)
I Live in Syria.. and I read somewhere that changing the "operator.sim.numeric" value would help, but not for me, I tried "setprop" and MarketEnabler.. The "operator.sim.numeric" value changed alright, but the problem is still present
for now I flashed back 6.1.A.2.55 and WiFi is working as expected (so I know for a fact it's not a hardware problem as some people suggested)
if someone please can figure this out and suggest a road start, I would be so grateful, Sorry again
EDIT:
Thank you, I confirm that the FTF is working good.. I flashed it with no problems
but the Wifi issue is still there.. but I confirm its not the ftf problem, it all on Sony side with Syrian Sim Cards
however.. removing the SIM magically makes the Wifi Work Again!
Thanks anyway man, good share

No problem!
One good thing is that you can flash stock based Rom's, and we have one of the best out there in Niaboc's ExistenZ Rom.
Flash that Rom, and used the xposed modules, and you can manipulate it to your liking just as much as aosp or CM roms.
Especially xposed modules like "HK Themer" let you install CM themes to stock roms!
