No image tutorial. Plain text.
DRM keys are Digital Rights Management keys. You will lose these when you unlock your bootloader. TrackID and some other (not really important) Sony apps won't work.
So, first, go to http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/ and download the tools needed.
There you have all the steps needed to unlock bootloader.
After you've unlocked bootloader head down to the CWM thread and download the flashable file. You have the instructions at the thread.
Flash CWM and the phone will boot in CWM mode now. Remember to put the ROM you want to flash on sdcard, or put kernel.sin file so you can boot back in the system.
Download the Root.zip flashable file for cwm (you'll find it in most of the root threads), and put it in the root of storage.
Then flash the CWM through fastboot, and the phone will boot in CWM recovery.
Navigate to "Install zip from sdcard -> Choose zip from sdcard -> "root.zip" (use the volume buttons to navigate and power to select).
Select Yes and your phone will be rooted.
If you want, you can download a kernel like Advanced ICS which will autoroot your phone when you flash it.
If you don't flash another kernel, then power off the device and boot into fastboot mode, and flash kernel.sin.
Your phone will boot into the system and will be rooted

That's not how you unlock bootloader, that's how you check if your bootloader is unlockable. Head over to Bootloader Unlock thread and unlock your bootloader, then flash a CWM recovery through fastboot, and flash a kernel which will root your device.
There is Jelly Bean for our device, AOKP, CM10, PA etc etc.. Use the search button!

Hi, I have been following your post for rooting my Xperia S with latest firmware. So while I was following your steps, my phone has stuck at Sony logo after Step 5 . Event after hard reset my phone was still stuck at Sony logo. So, I finally flashed .50 ICS rom using flashtool to bring my phone in working condition nearly after waiting for half an hour. Pcarvalho, can you please help me with this? I really need to root my phone with latest firmware. I am kind of new to all this rooting concepts. I have followed all the steps till Step 5. Please help asap. Thanks in advance.

Ok, I will try with above steps now. But these steps are little different from pcarvalho's steps. Hopefully this will work. Lets see. So, did you mean to wipe data, cache while flashing .55 kernel and baseband?

Yes, as long as you keep one important thing in mind: this method is for unlocked BL only. Downgrading a kernel works for both locked and unlocked BL.

The above method works perfectly for all the xperia ZL models(C6502,C6503,C6506) with an unlocked bootloader. I personally tried it, so don't worry at all.

It's very simple to get the boot.img file from the .zip file. Just right click the file named "Advanced_stock kernel_for_KK_10.5.1.A.0.283.zip", and select the following option "7 - zip -> Extract here". Now you can find your .img file in the extracted location.

For rebooting your xperia device to recovery, First turn off the device, and then turn it on while repeatedly pressing the Volume up button until the recovery mode appears. I'm not sure about what kind of permissions you are talking about. Feel free to ask any doubts.

For having a custom recovery mode, your phone doesn't need to be rooted. For Recovery, flash the
"Advance_stock_kernel_for_KK_10.5.A.0.283" image file given in the main thread. Using "Flash tool by Androxyde" (Check main thread).
The screenshots for installation are given in main thread. After installing the recovery, Proceed with the rooting process.
If you can't follow the above method, try this method.

does this method work with build number 10.5.1.A.0.292?

Yes, the splash screen works this way. Everything else is the same, including the system R/W issue.

hello
thanks for your informative threads
I'm trying to root a t2 ultra single sim.
starting from scratch, I find your threads very helpful.
can you explain how to extract a kernel tft from an entire tft bundle created with flashtool / decrypt / create?
I can't use the ones you posted as I need the ones for the single sim version.
I created the tft files from experifilm (except the 4.4.2 wich is not on the server anymore, got it off the web)
thanks!

Bro if we flash again the system means we will lost root man....

I'm asking because I'm following your previous guide for 4.4.3

4. now open flash tool and hit flash button and select 4.4.2.ftf press ok and wait for notification which says connect phone
is ok if I select the whole tft file and in the "EXCLUDE" section of flashtool I exclude ALL except the kernel?

because I can't flash the single kernel.sin from flashtool... maybe I just don't know how to do it, yet..

EDIT WE HAVE SUCCESSFULLY FLASHED GSI arm 64 ab custom roms ( need vbmeta.img from realme 3 pro ) WITH MINIMAL BUGS, INSTALLED MAGISK ETC.
<Mod edit>
Hii guys it is possible to unlock the bootloader for Realme c1 and Realme 2 post A.59 update.. Here is how
- First of all you need to download Adb and fastboot drivers you can find link on google.
- Then unlock developer options by tapping version in about phone 7 times.
- Go to developer option and turn on usb debugging and oem unlock
- Connect the phone to your pc via usb cable and install adb drivers.
- Go to the directory where you have downloaded adb and fastboot and press shift + right click and then click on open command window here
- In the command window enter the following command
adb reboot bootloader
- it will ask for permission in phone then just allow it.
- Your phone will restart in bootloader mode
- Next step is simple, keep the phone connected and enter the following command.
fastboot flashing unlock
- On the phone screen select i want to unlock bootloader with volume down button and press power button to confirm..
Warning : Phone will reboot and it will start wiping the data so backing up the data is recommended..
Note : if fastboot command is showing waiting for device then simply go to device manager and you will see "android" with little warning icon
right click on that android and click update drivers then search for drivers online after that computer will detect the device...

i have no idea how to root it as i dont have working twrp, if you know any developer maybe you can request him to start some development as bootloader is unlocked now...
i could root it using magisk without recovery but that requires latest boot image of A.60 update but on realme website it only have A.23 stock rom

By mistake I haved flashed wrong boot.img to my Realme C1. Now It does not boot into system, only boot to Fastboot mode. Could anyone please share me stock boot.img of this phone or guide me how to flash stock rom. Thank you very much.

lol why would you flash wrong boot image without knowledge.. now your phone is bricked now your only hope is to go to realme service center or wait for custom recovery like twrp etc which may take a month or more or wait for realme to release latest stock firmware on their site..
On a side note you can try booting twrp recovery of some other phone like redmi 5 etc with the command
fastboot boot twrp.img
im noob so dont know if that will work or not but you can try

After flashing fail, I check and discover that boot.img is for Realme 1, not Realme C1.
I think flash twrp recovery can't solve the problem because twrp is a recovery image, not boot image.
By the way, do you know how to extract boot.img from stock rom ? And how to flash stock rom ? I have downloaded some stock roms but when I open MSM download tool, it ask for user and password

dude there is no way to get stock boot image as of now since realme hasnt released latest stock firmware on their site.. the boot image that you will get will be an old one and it will not boot your phone....
what i am saying is try to boot a twrp recovery from other phone by using this command " fastboot boot twrp.img " then you can flash old stock rom through twrp and boot your device.. there is no boot image now that can boot your phone unfortunately.. the above mentioned way is the only way as of now or you can go to their service center..

Hi, can you post the pic of bootloader as I have rooted many devices but not this one, and by the way you can flash the stock firmware to repair your device.

EDIT : YOU HAVE TO HOLD JUST VOLUME UP TO BRING DEVICE TO DOWNLOAD MODE
did you start your phone in download mode and not fastboot mode?? by powering off your phone and then pressing both volume up and down key and connecting it to pc
also put rom files in c drive and remove any spaces in the directory name like C:\qfil files\ should be C:\qfil_files\ without space
also try with older version of qfil https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3fyEuz1cnKpeDYtYnU0RXVqbEU/view
also try with Ultimate multi tool https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1myq1coE1HyPn0QiVk4pY_Ym5Pw55RpeH
