Hi,
I've seen on the Kindle Fire HD threads that in order to install custom ROMs they have made a workaround so that you can install a second bootloader in order to flash custom kernels. Is this something that would be possible on the Mini Pro? And if so is there someone who would be willing to port it for people who aren't able to unlock their bootloader?
Thanks in advance,

I guess that's not possible

Hello all.
Just had a quick question that I hope someone might be able to help me with.
I am thinking of rooting my prime to play with a custom rom or two.
From what I read about rooting it seems like it is just pushing files based on a tutorial I saw.
Does the tablet actually need to be unlocked to root the tablet and install a custom rom or can I just follow that method without unlocking it?
Also if I decide to go back to stock can I flash a image from Asus to make that happen like you can with Odin on Samsung devices?
Thank you in advance and for your time.

So probobly you will need to unlock your bootloader to install custom rom. Not every rom require it but most of them.

Search the many guides. You should find what you need with a little searching.
Thanks for reply... i went through several forums .... i have a locked bootloader with 5.0.2.. am confused with the first step...
1. Should I unlock my bootloader??
or
1. Should I flash with 4.4, then install custom recovery and then flash rooted roms??
I am not concerned of warranty, but m concerned of losing my baseband .. please suggest !!
If you don't care about warranty, unlock your bootloader, flash some kernel with recovery and flash custom ROM.
Regards

You must unlock bootloader before you install non stock Rom. Before doing this, you must have a recovery.
Hi, I have had a look around and searched for this answer but cannot find a definitive answer. Is it possible to intall any custom roms if my BL is unlockable? I have checked and unfortunately I cannot unlock it on my phone (If anyone knows a way, I'd appreciate it).
I can't seem to see any mention of BL in individual rom posts but assume they need it as they use TWRP to install the roms and TWRP as far as I know needs an unlocked BL.
Thanks
There's an official website for unlocking bootloader: https://developer.sony.com/develop/open-devices/get-started/unlock-bootloader/
If needed further help regarding custom ROMs, feel free to leave me a reply.

Sorry to hear that but if your bootloader is not unlockable you are stuck with stock. AFAIK there are no ROM for BL and I don't think any will be created due to the old age of this model and the support of the Sony Open Source Project
Anyone know how to unlock bootloader on this device? I need to install another rom. Notification doesn't work on stock rom...
Ok
Please someone unlock this bootloader as i need it for mine.
