[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] jre1986:
So im stuck in a 36 month contract with xz2 standard and im not too fond of it, i was told to look into rooting as instructions are everywhere and so I followed sonys direction for unlocking the bootloader. Very confused as to why it has not worked. Any tips points and apparently idiot/simplified to the most basic english yet not just pictures at this time will be greatly appreciated as at 32 i feel 6 again.
