so after much work i finally unlocked BOOTLOADER with the long method here:
http://users.telenet.be/dvd/Unlock bootloader Sony Xperia Tablet Z.htm
(ps. any way to double check inside the device that its unlocked?)
after that i rooted with Vroot - and i can give root permission.
now i cant for teh life of me install a costume recovery! i think i tried everything out there but im doing something wrong and need help!
i tried goomanager, i tried FASTBOOT which for some reason i cant seem to get it to work... any help would be nice..
and after that i need CM so if anyone helps and can tell me if theres even a working CM for this device that would rock!

Hi everybody and merry christmas!!
So i've a problem with my mini pro sk17. It was unlocked, rooted and with latest firmware 0.58.
I've tried to install hybrid rom v4.5, so for that, i put cwm on my phone. I entered it one time (for installaing the rom) and since, no way to get it back! I 've read the thread about cwm installed, and there is one post wich talk about this issue (missed it of course before flashing!!!!gggrrrrrr): now my phone stay at sony ericsson logo.
Flashtool doesn't work on my pc (java problem, but can't resolve it)
I can put my phone in fastboot mode, but when i try to install another recovery, it says that i'm not root, but yes i am.
Nothing else works. Is there a way to erase completely the phone and push back stock rom or something like that?
Thanks for help.

First of all some questions.
How did you install CWM?
What version of CWM did you run?
Is it nAa's recovery?
I think that your recovery is not able to install custom roms and that it has been deleted during the installation of hybrom.
To install a fully functional CWM and to be able to flash custom roms,you will need to install a custom kernel first, that contains CWM.This can be done only by using fastboot.So you better try and make it work...
Hi, thanks for the reply,
the cwm i've installed was with SE extrem tweak installer found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1346190
but i don't know wich version it was.
Yes i've already tried with flasboot, but the problem is that, when i push the kernel, it says that i'm not root!!
Is there a way to get root with fastboot or adb? cause superone cliq or doomlord script root don't work until my phone is not fully started.
I get adb working some times, but i'm not sure i can do something with it.
Bye

If fastboot says that you are not root, then your bootloader is still locked.Unlock your bootloader (visit this page:http://unlockbootloader.sonyericsson.com/instructions)
and then flash whatever kernel you want....
Yeahhhhh,
it works!!
Thanks a lot, you're a god for me!!
It is strange cause, it wasn't bootlaoder locked before, so that's why i didn't try to unlock it first. For me it was already unlocked.
So, it's great now i can't do what i want.
HAve a nice day.
Thanks again.

Hi
I have one of those xperia s where the bootloader cant be unlocked , I´ve long giving up hope of changing rom but i just stumble upon http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2099499
Happy enough that I´ll give it another go just to realise the only way to flash it is with fastboot which requires unlocked bootloader
anyway to get around this problem or just wait for a .zip? Or any other ideas?
I have installed CWM recovery on phone,fastboot and ADB on win7.
Recently I soft bricked my Arc S.
It was Rooted and Bootloader unlocked. Running well so I got bored and tried to load a custom rom. Failed!:crying:
Not worried tried to reflash. Failed!:crying:
Sent it off to an IT store they were able to get it up and running. On 4.1.b.0.431. Great! :fingers-crossed:
BUT now no matter what rooting tool or method I try I can’t root it. Bootloader says unlocked.
Tried Doomlords toolkit
And 3 others ways.... nothing
Should I try lock the Bootloader again?
Or
Reflash the whole phone again?? (which I am no good at hence the whole problem)
Any advice would be most appreciated
Thank you
Don

Hi there, just before I start, I want to thank anyone that offers any help what so ever. Thankyou.
Ok, I have a HOX+ and rooted my phone not along ago and I am on not on any custom rom and used cwm not twrp (unfortunatley)
Ok so I got the official update notification from google today,so went to update,as I have made no mods so far the the stock rom, besides gaining root access. straight away it puts me to cwm,where I select to go ahead with the update and flash it. I know I must have made some rooky noobish mistake but have managed to half-brick my phone and cant work out how to get round this,
I can gain hboot usb but my computeris not picking up the phone and the recovery I made isnt in the folder when I try to resore- I get the folder with the date I made it in cwm but there is nothing there, the only rom i can manage to pick up is the google one and that doesnt work,
It was successfully flashing and when done did the reboot and then bam, just stuck on htc logo screen.
Any help again greatly appriciated, as i have been trawling the net and all parts of the forum for the past day and cant get anywhere.

If you are using hasoon's tool kit.
Click on relock bootloader.
Then in hasoon's toolkit select unlock bootloader (make sure you have unlock_code.bin of your device with you...)
