No, you do NOT lose functionality just by rooting. Nothing at all.

You DO lose a bit of functionality by unlocking the bootloader. And some have reported that even though with an unlocked bootloader that while camera works, you lose the Bionz image processing. You also lose the Bravia engine.

As gregbradley said, you can root without unlocking the bootloader (usually). Rooting and bootloader unlocking are different things.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
That was in reply to his questions about unlocking the boot, you do lose some things from unlocking the bootloader, not from rooting, I edited my post to make this clearer
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 301stSpartan:
I assumed as much bc I know that you're no noob on this device. But I was just clarifying bc the question you quoted was directly about root, not bl. My assumption was that he was confusing the two terms, not you
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
No worries, I know. So many people get the two confused as its treated as the same thing on other devices such as Samsung
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] necrogodomega:
Thanks for both of your answers.

I actually fully modded my X10i just by following directions and getting some guided help

from other great uses from this site. But that was ages ago and Sony's phones have changed a bit in their make up since the X10 days.

So I wanted to know exactly what was going on. I remember unlocking the bootloader for the X10 and losing the camera, but that was fixed (I long forgot how).

I wanted to know just what was going on with the newest generations of Xperias.

Thanks for your helps. It's much appreciated.

I have a factory cable can i go into fastboot and restore the kindle fire HDX 8.9 to the old system and root it?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] Mineturtle33:
It is more complicated than that. You cannot restore the whole system, because the system.img is too large to be flashed in fastboot. Keep the cable handy, I think I've found a possible root method, and you'll need the cable.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] kirewade:
Ok i am willing to test it whenever you get it done :)

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haoyangw:
Hi XDA,

I have a Singtel(Code: SIN) Galaxy S4 International LTE version on XXUFNBE Android 4.4.2. I've recently rooted my phone, and started playing around with my system. However, soon I found out about the 'Custom' Device Status preventing software updates and wanted to re-flash back to stock un-modified official Samsung 4.4.2 Kitkat ROM. I didn't want to use Odin and flash the .tar.md5, as I felt that that wasn't the real "Official" ROM. I wanted the Kitkat flashable zip from Samsung's FOTA servers, but I couldn't find the link. I Googled all over and nobody knew. I would appreciate anyone's help in finding the URL for the flashable ROM zip file. Thanks a lot! I'll need the zip ASAP, as my father wasn't pleased with me modifying my phone either.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joku1981:
Use Triangle Away for reset your flash counter and change the status CUSTOM to Official. This is a good way for receive OTA/Kies 3 updates :highfive:
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haoyangw:
I'm sorry, I'm afraid you don't get me. By "Official", I mean in Settings>About Device>Status, under "Device Status", it says "Official", not "Custom". Triangle Away only sets the "Current Binary" to "Samsung Official", but not the one under the Settings app. If the one under Settings isn't "Official", you won't be able to use Samsung's OTA update feature. However, Triangle Away only allows you to claim warranty, but not software update.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joku1981:
1. Make a factory reset

or

2. Use Odin :)

[HTC Incredible S] holodude:
My girlfriend had an iphone 4 and it died so she got a second hand Incredible S. It is her first android and she's had it for about a month, and doesn't like it. She finds it too slow and laggy, and apps crash. Currently it is stock settings and internet seems very slow such that apps like facebook seem laggy. She's not very techy at all so I'm looking for a super stable ROM to install on it.

Which ROM should I put on it (I don't care if it is sense or not or older android version) that is super stable, very responsive and has at least decent enough battery life that she isn't going to still say android sucks as a result?

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] indymx:
Ever since installing the "Unified" CM11 for the S3 I've noticed a strange side effect with nandroid backups.

I can back up and restore just fine, however, no matter what, I don't get a full restore. it seems like the system restores, but a good bit of data does not.

As in, I'm missing most apps and all of my data. Prior to this, a nandroid was a nice snapshot of the phone when the backup occurred, as you'd expect. Now, if I do a full wipe and restore, SMS is gone, Wifi access points are gone, and most of my apps aren't there. And trying to restore them with either Titanium or CWM fails.

I had to reinstall from Play Store and then restore the app data after. Not an ideal situation.

Has anyone else noticed this? Is anyone willing to give it a whirl and confirm the issue?

Thanks

[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cutthroat_jake:
Hi,

I recently rooted and installed the CyanogenMod 4.4.2 unofficial build on my SM-T310.

On the whole, it looks like a very nice ROM. However, I was wondering if other users were having any problems with the video camera?

When I open the camera app, all is well, but when I switch to video, the screen goes blank and stays that way indefinitely.

I did discover that if I press the home button and then return to the app, the screen returns to normal and the video camera functions at it should, so at least I have that as a workaround.

Is anyone else having the same problem and is the rom developer aware of this issue?
