    Hello Xperia followers,

    first I must say, that I am not very familiar with android.
    Since years I was using a symbian mobile.
    In January I changed to a Z3 and I was astonished, that several apps couldn't be installed.
    Beside that, I don't have access to the externel SD-card.
    Now I heard, that rooting the mobile will help. But it normally can be rooted only when the
    bootloader is unlocked/open (?). There shell exist a 2. chance to root, but only with a special firmware.
    I also read, that there will be a possibility to lock the bootloader again after beeing unlocked.
    Having an unlocked mobile shall be a disadvantage with the photo app and .....
    Is this disadvantage reversed if this "re-lock" is done?
    I have many questions and a mobile, which doesn't work in the way it should.

    Is there anyone who can answer?
    Erich
