i have read for a long time and try some roms who didint say req bootloader unlock but all stops on sonyericsson (bootloop) maybe it is here someone who try and work with a specific rom ...
Maybe they aren't saying that you need unlocked bootloader, but if "kernel" is mentioned, then you need that kernel and kernel flash need unlocked bootloader.
Practically every custom ROM needs it's own kernel, so I'm afraid you'll have to unlock your bootloader.
My manual said that only if defects were caused by custom software, I'd might have to pay for the reparation.
Yes i know but i come from Htc where it was easy (root and redy to install everyting) and now i`m stuck but i don`t give up my garanty for this it maybe later it will apear some roms only with root
tnx all

Hi All
I'm about to buy a carrier Orange (FR) locked Atrix; so please help me to check out:
Can I root (onesuperclick) & install a generic custom rom such 2.3.4 WITHOUT bootloader unlocking (want to keep warranty)?
where can I find this generic 2.3.4 and how to install?
thanks lot
Rooting isn't a problem. You'll need to unlock that bootloader in order to install custom roms though..

Thanks lot for replying. May I install any stock rom Gingerbread (not my own carrier specific one witch is just 2.2!) only by rooting?
All those gingerbread roms are custom roms so no there either I think..
No if your phone isnt unlocked bootloader you can only install your providers ROMs
Hi every one, my brother has an Xperia NEO MT15i, android version is 2.3.4, and the build number is 4.0.2.A.0.62
Anyway, he wants to root it and unlock the boot loader and he also wants to overclock (which will need a custom kernel)
My brother is a noob in android so he seeked for my help because I've rooted and S-off my HTC wildfire. But of course, HTC devices are different from Sony devices so actually I got lost while browsing the Neo forum.
I've found a way to root but its for build number 4.0.2.A.0.42
So if 62 is unrootable I'll need to downgrade to 42 first which also I don't know how to do it.
So I need a way to successfully root build 62 or downgrade to 42
Thanks in advance.

well my friend if you want to start testing custom rom's and making OC with your phone here is the official tool from sony to unlock your bootloader http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/
then with the BL unlocked you can easily downgrade but for downgrade I recommend that you use this program "Flashtool" you can get it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351317
this program is very user friendly just hit the lightning and there are all the options but you have to know some hardware combinations like if you want to change the build you have to turn off the phone keep press back button and plug your phone to the pc with this you can put your phone en flashmode and for changing kernel's again phone off you press menu button and plug your phone your notification led should be blue and this is the fastboot mode, for the recovery mode when you flash an OC kernel with recovery just turn on your phone keep your eyes on the notification LED and when you see that turns on hit volume (-) in there you can install all custom rom's and stock rom's
i warn you that when you unlock your BL you can't upgrade your phone via OTA (over the air) because it will brick your phone
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1316394
here you can find all the kernels, Roms and the firmwares
enjoy flashing
Read sticky threads in neo and neo v section, that way you will get fast inside view into Xperia Neo(V), ways of unlocking Xperia bootloader and flashing custom kernels. Also you can read sticky threads in Xperia Arc.
unlock boot loader,flash a custom kernel(recommend nightelf's latest for gingerbread) and install rootxperia zip via cwm recovery.google for root xperia zip.
Nightelf's kernel comes with cwm pre-installed

Hello XDA
I'm in the same situation than the user, but with one difference, under the service menu, my phone says "bootloader unlocking status: No"
Does that mean that I can't unlock it without paying or I still can do it for free under S1Tool?
My phone was bought simlocked to the Vodafone Spanish carrier.

Hello!
I installed a few days ago the MIUI rom ported to xperia u for locked bootloaders and is the best rom I ever tryed in this phone (I'm waiting to get more than 10 posts to give the porter my feedback ) but this version (for locked bootloader) got a few bugs like AD2P or sometimes, the wifi.
My question is, is worth to send to sony the xperia u for unlock my bootloader (that is in unlock bootloader allowed = No) to install the MIUI rom for unlocked bootloaders with a especific kernel?
Sorry for my bad english, is my first time in a English forum =(
Greetings

I dont think they would unlock the bootloader for you.........
whereas you can check out this thread for the steps to unlock your bootloader........
I hope you will get the bugs fixed if someone has reported it to the dev..........

This method to unlock the bootloader is too dangerous, and I cant let me the phone brick :S. Some people achieve, with the unlock sim code, that sony unlock his phones. I don't lose anything to probe it.
Anyway, thanks for the info, I don't knew that the unlock of the bootloaders that are "not allowed" were so close.
1) the bootloader unlock allowed :no?
i have managed to root but i wanted to in stall custom roms.
2) if i cannot unlock does that mean i cannot install zips or install a custom recovery?
3) is there anyway to sim unlock the phone to all networks
Xperia u - ST25i
thank you for your help
2) Of course you can but just ROMs and Mods for locked Bootloaders. The thing you can't do is for example flashing a custom kernel to install KitKat, Jelly Bean or other Android Version above 4.0
3)yes there is own. Ask your provider for that. He can give you proper informations. But as far as I know it's pretty expensive to unlock the SIM Lock. Telekom in Germany wants 100€ for that..

2) yeah I managed to root and custom recovery. Apparently I'm not allowed to unlock my boot loader so I'm stuck on 6.1.1.B.1.54 :/
Is there a list of ICS locked boot loader ROMs?
3) Wowsers.
And thank you

1- Have phone replaced by Sony, not all countries' service centers are willing to do so and you must generally have it SIM unlocked first
Hello guys!
I have a Sony Xperia M4 Aqua E2303 from Orange with their custom firmware.(Their Apps and start-up logo, etc.)
It is possible to flash the sony stock firmware(marshmallow) to get rid of this custom firmware ?
Also after flashing the stock it is possible to install a custom recovery like TWRP?
If is possible to do those operations ,is there a way to back up the actual firmware in case of possible problems?
Im kinda new to this forum but i want to thanks in advance for your help and advices .
Thanks again and have a good one !
If you bought it from Orange, check that your booloader is unlockable (to do this, type this in the call menu: *#*#7378423#*#* then in Services info, rooting status you can see it)
If it's unlockable, you can flash recovery and root it after you unlock the bootloader (You will lose your DRM keys)
Here is a guide about rooting and unlocking.
With root, you can also remove those apps that you want.
(the guide is made for E2353, idk if the files will work for you...)
Also, here you can find the stock roms.

Thanks for your help buddy.
Unfortunately the bootloader is not unlockable.
But i took the risk and i flashed a stock firmware (E2303,Central Europe 1, 6.0.1) via Flashtool and XperiFirm. I got rid of all orange apps except one which is good ,my free space is around 4gb from those 8gb. Also the phone is more faster in menus and some apps.
I saw a thread here on xda , about rooting and flashing recovery with locked bootloader but need to downgrade to lollipop Here. I do not not know if it is worth the while.
Is there any way to unlock the bootloader even if it says that it can not ? Maybe Sony Support?
Thanks again ! Good Day !
Your welcome, also i sad to hear, that you can't unlock your bootloader Have a nice day
