Hi everyone,

I have my TA partition backed up.
I've read somewhere here that if I restore TA partition it would also relock the bootloader.
Is that true?

I want to restore my TA partition, relock the bootloader, then flash a ftf (Customized USA 14.5.A.0.242 / R2D ) from XperiFirm. I would also be following this guide

Should I restore my TA, then relock bootloader, then flash ftf?
Or I can just restore TA (that would also relock the bootloader as a i was asking above), then flash ftf?

Also, I'm on XZDualRecovery, would I lose it (which I would actually want to do) when I restore my TA? or if I flash a ftf?

Basically what I'm looking on here is to restore my phone like it was just bough from a store but with the latest stock ftf.

Thanks
