Hello everyone
I have been waiting for some time to update my XPERIA XA ULTRA to Nougat 7.0 and have been observing that many people are up to date with the update and would like to know if I can download and install the update manually.
If so, they could help me with the steps and the tools to do it.
Thank you very much.

No, I am waiting for my device to be updated in Guatemala I have it with a carrier here in my country, and I want to know if I can manually put it either with flashtool or from the bootloader update.
(sorry for my bad english )
To use flash tool you would need to have your bootloader unlocked.
I have that most branded xa ultra can't unlock bootloader.

Mine is branded, and can't unlock, useless and ignorant policies preventing us from getting the updates ourselves as the manufacturer doesn't seem to care.
I'm rooted would to flash 7.0 but no us ftf files.
All could fine is a 7,0 Latin America generic ftf and will not take trying to flash it.

You can flash stock ROM with flashtool without unlocking bootloader.
You can regain root after flashed to 7.0 (.182) by flashing boot followed by TWRP.

If your bootloader is locked twrp will not boot.

Hi I recently bought the sony ericsson WT19i (Live), now I want to flash cyanogenmod but i don't know how. I read something about unlocking bootloader bu I can only find tutorials for Xperia range phone's also is there a way to backup my current ROM and EFS partition?.
I have alot of expirience with android so just some links should do.
Also is there a way to Re-Lock the bootloader?
You must unlock bootloader first. Then flash custom rom, and install cm using update zip.

Thanks but unlocking avoids warranty and no official updates. Is it worth it?
From what i understand with a locked bootloader you cant boot into recovery, right?

Ssory my english is bad. I am russian user.
With unlocked bootloder you can not oficially update you device.
You can install cwm to locked stok rom and boot into recovery.
Unlock bootloader only need to flash modded kernel.
after unlocking you can lock bootloader. Drm key's not restore

What specific error?
can you update ota if you're rooted? i thought i read somewhere that you can't? or is that only if you are unlocked bl?
For convenience/less errors it is highly recommended to have a fresh firmware. No root, locked bootloader. For you to update via OTA, Sony Update Service, or PC Companion.
When the BlueBox appear after download and restart the phone The phone restart again and appears a Box saying there was a problem, try again

Have you tried using PC companion or SUS?
just to confirm that you CAN update a rooted LT26i.
just use PCC or SUS
its all good.
p.s for some reason the size of the OTA update download is much smaller that the update download done by PCC/SUS (almost 400MB) maybe this why many have complained it doesn't work.
For me it makes no difference OTA or via PC, both are failing. I have an unlocked bootloader with that Swiss ICS rom which was published around 20th of June, a few days after the ICS release. ( LT26_6.1.A.0.452_Generic_CH_1257-3740_.ftf )
Could that be a reason for the update to fail?

You can't update with unlocked boot loader on those programs. Use flash tool.

First of all, I'm spanish, my apologizes of my expresions or misspelling.
That's what I've done:
1 - I've checked if my bootloader was unlockable, and my phone say's: NO
2 - Then I've installed the DualRecovery W/O root and with my phone bootlocked.
3 - Then I've tryed to flash CM11 in TWRP recovery, flashing first the Boot.img via fastboot.
4 - Device in Red Light.
What I can do to woke up my Z2? That's my record 2 hrs to **** my phone. :silly:
Firstly, it's stated in the first post of the CM11 thread that you shouldn't be using dual recovery. If you read the thread further, you'll see that it is recommended to use the recovery in DooMKernel to flash. And this requires unlocked bootloader.
Anyways, you can try using Flashtool to flash a stock firmware. Might be able to recover your phone.

If your BL is locked, you cannot install CM.... coz you cannot install a custom kernel. you should rebuild your phone using SEUS to put a good ROM.
Then you can put whatever ROM you want for LB and root it. but no custom kernel.

Hi there,
Is there any way to get root access without unlocking the bootloader. I found some ways in XDA but nothing is clear.
I would really appreciate if you guys can send me a link with a clear tutorial of how to get a new ROM without unlocking the bootloader.
I just got my Z2 which is sim locked (UK) and I can't unlock the bootloader from the official page.
Many thanks,
tux

second: I can't unlock my bootloader forever ??

Thanks all ^^

You can download a Generic FTF and use flashtool to flash it to your device
Once you unlock your bootloader it stays unlock till you relock
You can flash roms n manage general other stuff from recovery

Hi everyone,
I recently got a z2 and it is currently rooted I was unable to unlock my bootloader. When I checked in the settings it said no to the unlockable bootloader. I am interested to know, can you flash the twrp onto a z2 with a locked bootloader and how to do it? I know you could on the z1. If I cannot flash twrp with the bootloader locked does anyone know how to unlock it if it says it's unlockable?
Check XZdualrecovery in the original android development section you can install twrp using that.

Nice worked like a charm thanks a lot. Can install the Z2 soundmod 1.0 which is awesome! Thanks again.
Friends, I need a lot of help from you. I have the E2363 mode (Android 6.0.1)l and would like a way to root without unlocking the bootloader. As I do not have knowledge to make a firmware with root, someone could make and deliver for me to do the flash by flashtools? Thank you very much in advance!

Yes, if it's Marshmallow based Rom, you would still need unlocked bootloader.
the focus is wrong > it should be to make it possible to obtain recovery first

Sounds like your doing something wrong then You don't make the Pre-rooted zip for mm the same way as you do for lollipop and when downgrading/upgrading firmware you MUST wipe clean the device to avoid bootloop. Lollipop uses ftf, supersu and recovery.
Mm pre-rooted zip uses ftf, a dummy supersu zip and dummy recovery.
I know you can get rooted mm with locked Bootloader doing it that way as there's z3 and others using this way to get root on mm without unlocking the Bootloader. Unlocking the Bootloader to root mm is only a absolute requirement if your device has dm-verity security which the M4 aqua doesn't use.

I tried it in may ways like cleaning cache and wiping data but neither way pre rooted zip works with mm
Better bet is to upgrade > unlock bl > root
