If you just want to root there is no need to unlock the bootloader.

Hi, is there a 4.2.2 update (official or unofficial) the Rogers model sgh-i467m?
Is it possible to flash gt-5120 roms on sgh-i467m without losing LTE or text messaging.. or bricking?
I'm pretty new at this... if it's possible, a little step by step would be really appreciated.
Thanks!

Odin doesn't let me flash anything from n5120, I wonder if you have a different boot loader than I have.

Hey, there!
Like the topic says, is there any way to root the Z1 Compact on 14.3.A (KitKat) somehow?
Or do i really have to downgrade using flashtool and then root?
Thx for answers

If your BL isn't unlocked, yes.
But if i'm correct i do lose my drm key when i unlock my bootloader? so i really have to downgrade first?

If you want to keep your drm keys or backup them, yes you have to downgrade (see my guide in signature).
Thank you for the answers and help
Hello. My Xperia Z1 Compact has Bootloader Unlock allowed: No. However, if I try to fastboot (volume up while connecting to PC), the device’s LED light turns into Blue.
I read somewhere that this means I actually CAN unlock the bootloader. Is it safe to try?
Thank you!

You can't unlock if says "no", you will hard brick your phone if you flash a custom kernel or a Custom ROM for unlocked bootloader

Hello, Meloferz! Thanks for replying! Well, I don't want to flash any custom kernel, I only want to get Sony's firmware updates, because my phone has an audio Bug, which has been fixed by Sony since March. My carrier told me they would not release any software update for this model, so I would like to let the phone update...
thanks in advance!!

One last question... Is it enough to get the same language firmware (spanish)? Or does it need to be one for my specific country/carrier (Perú/Movistar)? Because, I've got their latest fw installed, but that's not the one that fixes my audio bug.

Is there any tutorial/Guide on how to install Lollipop on Xperia S?
I have absolutely no idea on how to do that. And how do I check if my bootloader is unlocked or how to unlock it? I just need a complete guide with the whole process. Thanks in advance.
