I've this D5322 version of T2 Ultra, which means it is Dual.
I wanted to install CM11 Unofficial from FXP. I need to unlock boot loader for this purpose.
Alright, I can unlock it, but I need DRM keys and TA partition backup for warranty purpose.
For this I need to root my device first, then back up TA and then unlock the boot loader, and install CM11.
But for D5322, I can't find root with locked bootloader on 4.4.3 update 2. {19.1.1.C.0.56}
no unlock->no root->no ta->no bravia engine->no warranty->no fun
So, I need a root exploit for locked boot loader on 4.4.3 update 2 {19.1.1.C.0.56}
Can someone develop or help?

That thing only works with unlocked ? boot loader.
EDIT: I'm very sorry. I've searched a lot and everything, but didn't know that flashing custom things need unlocked boot loader but for flashing a stock, doesn't need one. I'm very sorry.
please for someone like me go to the above thread to root t2 ultra dual with locked boot loader.
Sorry! My bad.

search a prerooted system.img and flash using fastboot, or read this
Since you've unlocked the bootloader first, which you didnt have to do but is a much easier process of rooting your phone if your BL is unlocked
all you need to do is download the rootxperia.zip then put it in the root of the phones SD card and then flash the zip onto your phone using CWM.
Put rootxperia.zip in sd. Hotboot a suiting kernel with cwm. When phone starts booting tap the volume down constantly untill youre in cwm. Then install update and choose the zip in sd

If I back up my rooted stock 4.0.2.A.0.062 via cwm, then install a different kernel to use a custom ICS rom,
Will it restore my stock Rom AND kernel if I don't like it and choose to restore my backup? Or just the Rom?

Hi there, ive been searching for guides for last few days for locked bootloader root on Z1 Compact on .757 Kitkat and every guide seems to be different or out of date, either jumping to other out of date tutorials or needing several downgrades?
Can i just run DualRecovery installer and have root on 757 or do i need to downgrade several Android versions back to early JB and then root and reinstall newer versions using root up to 757 again?
I mostly want to backup my TA folder and then can mess with phone properly but it seems a long winded process of downgrading and upgrading several GB of Android versions just to get root? How does root even survive if upgrading again?
So what is the easiest way to root on .757 so can backup TA then unlock bootloader? Do i need to downgrade to early JB to rooot or is there a current tool for 757?
Ive been messing with my Nexus 7 2013 since launch so not a complete noob when it comes to rooting and unlocking bootloaders, just the route to root for backing up TA isnt so clear for this Z1Compact on 757.
Thanks for help!
The reason for downgrading is purley so you can root the phone without unlocking your bootloader so that you can backup your ta and drm keys.
When that's done you are safe with the ta and drm. Then you can put whatever version in and unlock bootloader and root. Rooting on the newer versions can't be done without unlocked bootloader as far as I've understood this.
Me however just skipped the backup procedure and just unlocked and rooted. My ta and drm ain't backed up.

Once ive downgraded to root and backed up TA/DRM, can i upgrade to pre-rooted .757 without unlocking bootloader still? Or to have a locked bootloader once back to .757 to turn all the drm/TA features back on?
Is it possible to have locked bootloader, root and proper TA/DRM features enabled while on .757 currently?

Yes, just downgrade, install dual recovery, upgrade to pre-rooted .757 FW, then Backup TA (in tha case in future you will want unlock bootlader), done. Fully working rooted phone with DRM intact.

Sweet thanks!
I take it with downgrading i just let flashtool overwrite everything, or is there things i need to skip to preserve TA?
Sorry for all the questions but the tutorials all vary slightly.

Yes, in Flashtool do not "Exclude" anything and Wipe Data, Cache and Appslog. The TA have nothing to do with flashing so you can flash how much you want and they be there intact, they will be wiped when you will unlock your bootloader only.
Few Tips:
To backup TA use the only app recommended from HERE , and do a Backup TA before Unlock Bootloader and one Backup TA after Unlock bootloader (after unlock bootloader there will be no more DRM keys), but if you do 2 Backup you will be able to switch between Locked and Unlocked Bootloader just by Restoring the Backups, Backup before Unlock will Lock your bootloader, Backup after Unlock will Unlock your bootloader. Do not Relock your bootloader with Custom kernels because you will brick your phone.

A quick search shows there is no direct root for 757 FTF, secondly the Z1 Compact forum is here. Please ask questions in the correct device forum

Type *#*#7378423#*#* and go to Service test > Security, if you have in all strings [Key OK][Active] they are all good, if you have [Unknown Error] the DRM keys are lost.
I post mine with UB.

Thanx then..
A while ago I used towel root which doesn't unlock the boot loader. I then used the twrp manager to install custom recovery. I have tried flashing all by adb but that didn't work. I then tried flashing the boot loader but it said failed, boot loader is locked. Will i be able to unlock the boot loader then flash all then re lock the boot loader? Final question, would all of this allow me to download Android 5.0 OTA? Thank you, any help is really appreciated.
Do you have the proper drivers and the Android SDK installed and updated? Does your computer recognize the tablet? If so, yes you can unlock the bootloader. Find the guide in the Nexus 7 subforum and follow it step for step. Once you have the 4.4.4 stock image installed, you'll be able to receive the 5.0 OTA when it becomes available.
Now some questions:
1. There's no way to install a custom recovery with the bootloader locked. What makes you think TWRP Manager installed anything?
2. Why do you want to relock the bootloader?
Now a statement: Stop using toolkits. Read more before asking questions. Learn how to use adb and fasboot. If you have time to find this forum and actively post questions, you can take the time to learn the basics. I learned simply by following guides and searching for answers before attempting to do anything with any and all of my Android devices. This isn't any different from buying a car before you know how to drive.
Once rooted with towelroot or otherwise, you can unlock and relock the boot loader with an app. Bootunlocker for nexus devices, in the play store. This app method does not wipe user data.

You can flash TWRP with locked bootloader. I was even running 4 custom roms with MultiROM with a locked bootloader!

Hello.
At the moment I am using stock lollipop .270.
How do I root it in order to backup the TA partition ?
Probably you have to flash KK v108 with Flashtool, root that and flash an already rooted+recovery 270 that are in the general section of the forum.
Or check around general forum if you can root without going back (been out of the loop with rooting procedures). Something like this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3140241
So if I use Flashtool I guess I have to onlock bootloader. Wouldn't that destroy the TA partition ? I want to backup it before I begin modifing anything.

I rooted just a few days ago while on the 270 uk firmware. Unlock bootloader first then i auto rooted with chinese Kingroot app http://androidxda.com/download-kingroot-application . After this i follwed ( http://www.w0lfdroid.com/2015/05/How-to-Remove-Replace-KingUser-KingRoot-with-SuperSU.html ) this guide to remove kingroot and install super su. After this i used ( http://nut.xperia-files.com/ ) Th locked dual recovery from here which installed the recovery to the phone. Next step is here https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952609257 . Once you flash this prerooted firmware you are fully rooted. good luck i hope this isnt too confusing.
Note iff you do not unlock bootloader the kingroot app will not be able to root the phone. bootloader unlock is the first step.

For flashing a ftf via flashtool, You don't need to unlock bootloader. You could also try the link from My signature to root, it worked fine for Me on locked bootloader.

I have unlocked the bootloader of of Xperia T2 Ultra D5322 5.1.1, can anyone tell the easiest and simplest way to install the TWRP/CWM recovery and root it ? Found many threads but for 5.1.1 its very hard that we need to downgrade device with 5.0.2 and all. Is there any easy way that can be done without downgrading the firmware? Help will be deeply appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
it's very simple I installed custom recovery on locked bootloader without downgrading to android 5.0...
just install kingroot, root your phone and replace it with supersu.
after that use this custom recovery. (don't forget to enable debugging mode)
