You need the original fw on an SD card and the stock bootloader. Boot into recovery and install the fw. There are several threads in the forum discussing the details.

Yes, it doesn't matter whether the BL is locked or unlocked, or whether your current fw is rooted or not.
I downloaded stock rom and copied to dload/update.app but all it gives me Error in recovery. Is there a way to flash stock software to this phone using a windows tool ? This is one of the most inconvient phones to flash.

i tried rooting the new firmware and it was a success, i now have root and dual recovery installed on stock 4.3
here's the other link i posted http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48805157#post48805157
here's how. (my device is locked BL)
LINKS UPDATED!! (recovery)
1.Backed up my TA Partition
2.Flashed the official .569 ftf using flashtool
3.Unlocked my ZL's bootloader
4.Flash this kernel to get recovery (thanks Minthun46) http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/?id=700#downloads extract the boot.img and flash it using fastboot or flashtool (fastboot mode)
5.Flash Supersu fix zip and dual recovery (thanks NUT) SUPERSU fix.zip http://nut.xperia-files.com/download.php?dlid=U3VwZXJTVV9maXg=
recovery that i used http://nut.xperia-files.com (download the latest flashable zip for ZL)
6.Re flash .569 ftf exclude everything except kernel and fotakernel.
7.Restore TA Backup.
FOR UNLOCKED BL
just follow step 2, 4, 5, and 6
VOILA!!! device is now rooted and has working recovery
PS
Will only work for ZL that can be bootloader unlock.
Hit thanks if it helps you.
Don't put Locked BL in the title, you only managed to root because your phone was unlockable. Putting Locked BL in the title states that your bootloader can also be locked for this method to work, and but unless your ZL can be bootloader unlocked, this method cannot be used for locked BL

this is the recovery i used http://nut.xperia-files.com/download.php?dlid=WkwtbG9ja2VkZHVhbHJlY292ZXJ5Mi43LjQzLUJFVEE=
if you still get bootloop just root it and install recovery using your pc. use nut's dual recovery for lockedbootloader for windows.

will these step factory reset the device or will it keep all my apps/settings?
Is the purpose of relocking the device is to keep bravia engine?

It will reset your device if u put a check on wipe apps log on flashtool. I recommend a clean install to avoid problems.
Yes i relocked it to regain BE2 for photos

the bootloader isn't unlocked(ever) we just use a workaround , you need to revert to kitkat first for this to work and you can install twrp by following the instructions HERE

this method requires you to downgrade(only bootloader) and is more dangerous then the regular downgrading approach. just downgrade you could enjoy have enjoyed a rom by now(while you were searching for the correct images

Hello. I was able to root my note 4 and looking to flash a rom. I read several threads and they mentioned that the bootloader also need to be unlocked before I can flash a new rom. I'm not sure how to do that. Could someone please guide me there? I used to have a s4 so it was just root then TWRP then flash my favorite ROM. Not familiar with this phone at all
I took the latest update, it is n910pvps4dqh1, Android 6.0.1
Thanks experts

Bootloader locked only in verizon&AT&T N910V/N910A.
all the other american models just flash twrp and start flashing any rom compatible with your model.
Yessss. Good to hear any good rom can you recommend?
Thanks
