I got it to work now. took me a second try.
"edit. And now i have the phone rooted. I love this forum.
Great, thanks!!!
Is this root persistent? I.e. is it likely that it will survive the 2.3.4 upgrade coming soon?

Just get the relocking ftf from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1134335
Flash it in flashtool and then flash a clean stock .587 ics rom. Then try updating with SEUS. It should update. Many people said that they have done this. I have tried it, and the tool didn't give me any error about modified software or anything. Good luck.

Relock the bootloader... And flash stock ftf then you can update officially. :thumbup:
PREDATOR95 ->->->->a.k.a. ->-> predatOr
Hmmm...there are actually a way around it...Sony has a beta version of flash tool that can flash stock firmware from sony website on unlock bootloader....that mean you dont have to relock your bootloader if you want to flash stock firmware....but since it's still in beta, our xperia lineup is not supported yet but you can request to add our xperia line up for next release....
you can have a look HERE or HERE...
Thanks for all the replies. The phone is still on standard sony firmware tho, just with an unlocked bootloader. Next try is relocking I guess.

And it worked, using iPusak's first link. Great!

If the firmware you want is available as an ftf, it will be easiest to flash with flashtool. Then no relocking or anything else.
I was wondering how Carrier and Country affect getting updates? I have a Z Ultra 6802 (HK - came with Chinese apps) and haven't seen the 501 update on my phone yet and I really don't want to unlock the bootloader.
So I guess my ultimate question is: Will I get the update in the US while on AT&T? (I'm ok waiting, just want to know)
Thanks,

Eventually. Or you can do what I did and flash a generic 510. Then use PC companion to repair if it doesn't work properly. When repaired, a new version of 510 is installed by Sony that works.

Not at this moment no, but it appears that a pre-rooted zip isn't far off.

You will likely be waiting some time, because it's possible to downgrade and flash pre-rooted zip or to OTA certain FW's maintaining root, I don't see devs putting a lot of effort into finding an exploit. That said best hope is probably an exploit being found for Z3 which is transferable to Z2, but as I say you may be waiting some time.
So what you recommend to do if i want to have root on 167?

Try to create a rooted update package from the update ftf: [4.4.4] Create ROOTED update package from stock FTF [LOCKED BOOTLOADER]
So I need to flash dual recovery to do that
How can I make a full stock backup just in case I need to use it for warranty?

You don't need, you can flash back an original ftf anytime or repair with Sony PC Companion. We are talking locked bootloadr, so until you don't unlock it, you have warranty.
But if you already have root on prev. firmware, you should install DualRecovery and boot into TWRP and you can backup your system there.

I just bought the phone and I really miss root hehe so if I don't unlock the bootloader I can change recovery and flash a stock root rom without losing warranty?

Yes, if you have older firmware on the phone, you can try the root options available and you can use recovery without unlocking th bootloader. If you have the latest, than you can possibly flash an older firmware to your phone and root that. But you need to read a bit, to understand everything correctly.
