hello, i have upgraded my phone from an xperia x8 to the xperia s, ive done alot of reasearch but cant seem to find what im looking for, is there anyway to unlock the sony xperia s bootloader if it states (no) , or able to root the device and or install any custom roms on it? if i can remember correctly though i may be wrong that with my xperia x8 i didnt need to unlock the bootloader to install custom roms, though i did. i just rooted the device, installed recovery and went from there. my phone is network locked to t-mobile. i cannot get it unlocked as no where near me can unlock it at the moment. any help would be greatly appreciated

well, you should know that finding an unofficial way of unlocking the bootloader takes a huge amount time and work.
i don´t think that the devs will look for an other way to unlock the bootloader while there is an official way.
Hi everybody I open this thread to know or ask if somebody can port governors on Xperia S with lock bootloader ? Because it can be very useful for Lock Bootloader Xperia S to save battery life.
wrong section and it is pretty much impossible to do this without an unlocked bootloader, unless you can find a way of loading custom kernels with a locked bootloader
Wrong section, read the rules!
It's shame ! However with my Xperia X10 I can load this modules whereas I have a lock Bootloader. Why Sony changes their properties on kernel, now we have to unlock bootloader to install Rom or mods. But if we unlock, we lost guarantee DRM etc... Moreover I have a branded Xperia S and I can't unlock my bootloader, what I'm suppose to do ? Nothing... Too bad :-/.
Sorry guys for my mistake of my thread and thanks for your help
Hi guys, first off, I'd like to apologise if this is not the right place for this thread- feel free to move it to the right place if so!
Secondly, I'd like to ask if there's a method for unlocking a bootloader that is locked... do I need to unlock the tablet from the EE carrier first? Or is there another method of doing so?
I tried to root the device for hours on end and nothing managed to work at all!
Any help at all would be appreciated!
Thank you,
Amro

if you have an operator market device, 99% you will not be able to unlock your bootloader.
You can look in Service Menu if your device bootloader is unlockable.
But even if it is not, you can root your device easily, just look for instructions on XDA.
The only thing you won't be able to do with unlockable bootloader is install custom (e.g. CM, FXP) firmwares on your device.
Hello guys,
I search on the forum but didn't find the answer for the Z5C.
I just want to know if today, can we root the phone without unlocking the bootloader ?
I mean by that, if it possible to get the root and not lost the DRM Key or other stuff like the quality of the camera ?
Maybe can I use a pre rooted rom with flashtool to get the root and no unlocking my bootloader ?
Thank you guys for answering me

No, never. Z5c is identical to Z5 and Z5P regarding base hardware and software. Sorry, but you did not search enough, 1000th post like this.
Hi, I'm pretty new to the android scene, I've looked for a few days if there is a possible way to unlock bootloader on an Xperia M4 Aqua 2306, the issue is my phone has Bootloader unlock allowed = No and didn't actually find if there is an actual way to do this.
Found a few threads talking about how to unlock the bootloader but it seems from some posts that it's not possible to unlock, I was wondering if anyone could help me figure it if there is any possibility to unlock since my phone is quite slow and would love to breath some life to it, any help would be greatly appreciated!

the onli way i was able to root my 2306 was to downgrade with flashtool to lolipop the vertion 26.1.A.1.112 ...the onli one old enough to root with kingroot the onli app i found to root lolipop ....but then none of the tutorial i read got me back to the last update without loosing root and aving to deal with the 100 of preinstalled app .....tryed to let it at lolipop but the phone is now extremly sloooooow
was able to get to recovery but then after looking at all custom rom .....they all need to be install with fastboot and they all stated that you need unlock bootloader so i stop trying the phone is not realy worth it anyway
