Hello everybody.
I have a sony xperia z1 compact.
A couple of weeks ago I have rooted it and made a backup of DRM.
Then I flashed 4.4.2 with .ftf.... Now I want to try CM11. what should I have to do?
Can I unlock bootloader from Sony Official Site?
cheers.

You tell us - http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions, then you'll know how to proceed, if not you'll have to use the thread on the same page you've posted this on called - [GUIDE] Update to KitKat with locked bootloader & root

Something There Might help ^
devise is already updated and rooted now i want to update to 4 without losing the rooting!
And a ton of people are going to ask the same question. Sigh!
As of yet, there's no OTA update roll out for the latest .368 firmware for the arc. Some regions have the OTA update for the neo.
We ALL will just have to wait a bit longer for SE to do the honours. Patience mate!
so how other arc users managed to update their devices ?

If you have an unlocked bootloader (as adviced in your first post), then you must look in the development section, they have the stuff you need.
If you have locked bootloader like so many of us, you just have to try and keep hitting the "update button" in the settings menu and hope for the best.

If your Xperia S is in a purchased state (ie, not modified at all and running stock firmware) I guess its bootloader will be locked. Anyways as Xperia S has got a dedicated forum section, head over there to learn about it more.
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

If you have already unlocked your bootloader, without backing up your Drm Keys, then you wont get the bravia engine back.

I havent unlocked my bootloader yet. I just rooted (the bootloader changed unlockable yes to no), installed cwm and made a backup using cwm, saved in internal storage. Is that enough? Is this backup saved the drm keys?
Thank you

Use the tutorial I have linked above, with that method you will get your phone back to factory-state when you want to.

I have a unrelated question, because I'm planning to buy this phone here in Brazil. Battery is something you can rely on with 3G on?

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.
hii everyone
as you know kitkat Update(4.4.2) has started for our device

Hello, I have rooted my T2 ultra, using vroot, amd hence my bootloader is locked. I did this to enjoy a few of the rooting privileges like using Titanium Backup and few others.
Now in order to download and install the new Kitkat update, once its released, do i have to unroot my phone or can directly attempt to update without unrooting.
Please advise.

hi everybody,i just bought a z1 compact and allow me some questions cause i m a little confused
1what is the best way to root it and stay with unlock bootloader?
2how can i install custom recovery?
thanks in advance.
Well first of on what firmware are you on? From what I know only v108 KK can be rooted without unlocking bootloader. As for custom recovery look for Nut's recovery for z1c here http://nut.xperia-files.com/

It will probably be on KitKat version. You can follow the guide from here to root KitKat and maintain root on Lollipop.
or use pc companion and update os. After root and install recovery new releases.
