I instaled root and recovery on z3 on locked bootloader so i was thinking maybe it was possible on z5p also
the BU is for rooting or flashing new rom?
if i want to flash stock rom with flashtool, without rooting, do i need to unlock bootloader anyway?
same as OP, in z1 compact iv'e rooted w/o BU..

If you haven't flash any custom kernel, try this:

Dude,
Most Xperia S custom roms for unlocked bootloader come with root and a custom kernel.
If you want to remove the root you would have to flash a stock rom using flashtool or relock the bootloader and then flash the stock rom using either PC companion or Seus.
To be honest I don't understand why your friend would want to run an unrooted custom Rom.
Hope this helps.

Probably because some weird games can't run on rooted phone (e.g. Puzzle & Dragon)

You don't need to unlock the bootloader in order to root xperia M.
Of course you can take backups and use them to restore your data, thats what they are doing.

I just updated my sony xperia zl C6502 with the 4.4.2 stock update. My phone was rooted but not anymore after the update. Is there anyway to root it without downgrading.

if you have backed up your ta partition before, then proceed with the following steps
unlock bootloader
flash any xperia zl kernel which has custom recovery like CWM in it. for example, this one ==> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191264 (though it's meant for older firmware, the recovery works but the phone wont boot to system)
enter into recovery and flash the supersu zip
then switch off the phone in custom recovery itself. (because the phone wont boot to system)
then flash back stock kernel and you have root :good:

u can get root access now but u have to unlock your bootloader. and you can't relock it unless you have the TA partition backup.
to get it, you have to flash back old firmware to gain root. backup TA partition so that you can relock bootloader. and in the future you dont' have to downgrade again to root

yeah. just flash an older rootable firmware(10.3.A.0.423) using flashtool. root it using doomlord's rooting kit. take a backup of TA partition using devshaft's backup-ta kit. this back up of TA is just to relock your bootloader whenever you unlock it because unlocking BL voids warranty. but the backup of TA partition must be taken in locked BL condition. flash nut's dual recovery. now follow the steps in the link posted above and upgrade to 4.4.2. this method doesn't need your BL to be unlocked.
there is another easy method which requires unlocking BL. but you can relock it as if you never unlocked. i prefer this method. the link is posted below.

It is possible using towelroot but if you have an unlocked bootloader then it is much better to have a custom recovery because you can backup ur ROM.
Or you can relock bootloader (if you backup ur TA partition) then root your phone using towelroot method.
