Rooted Vibrant running a custom rom, is it possible to unlock my phone or do I need to be on a stock rom for to use one of the unlock methods? Asking because I want to use this phone when I go out of state.
Hi!
I would like to ask whether there are some really nice custom ROMs for locked bootloader / stock kernel. (Yes, I really don't want to void my warranty.) If anyone knows one, please share a link here. Thanks!
If you really want a custom rom without unlocking bootloader and for stock kernel :
Ask SONY to make one for you because ONLY SONY/official firmware can be install for locked bootloader or firmware that are sign by SONY (mean custom firmware that SONY certificate only)
If you really want custom rom badly,why don't sacrifice your warranty for something that you like?
Custom ROM removes your warranty also.
You could try THIS one... it's a mod, not a custom ROM. This is the best you can get without unlocking the bootloader.
I had a stock unrooted GB Xperia U phone Then I have flashed my phone to ics......

THANK YOU...........................

this should be enough to flash custom stock rom and CWM
if you want then to unlock bootloader (to install custom kernel for example) just use this
Hey all, first of all I'm not new to the Android world. I've had many phones, and all if them modified heavily. I do not consider myself a Dev (I've made some basic scripts that's about all) but definitely a power user.
Anyway, I'm a little lost on this z2 as far as modding it goes. My bootloader is NOT unlockable according to the phone stats, however I have seen a few root methods for 5.1.1 and locked bootloaders (I'm build a.1.232). Now many of these rooting methods ask for you to downgrade to a rootable version, root it, then reflash a prerooted 5.xx ROM. Easy, However with my unlockable bootloader how will I flash anything other than a stock Sony ROM without bricking it?
Essentially what I'm after is how far can I go with a locked bootloader, and if there is s surefire way to root 5.1.1 without downgrading since I can't flash back up. Also am I good to flash a custom recovery? Or is that offlimits as well being locked. I'm a little lost due to lots of mods here apparently working with locked bootloaders, and on my HTC one that just didn't fly.. Lol.
Thank

You meant locked bootloader right?
You won't be able to flash any custom ROMs without unlocking your bootloader.
The only custom ROM that works for locked bootloader is MIUI (which uses the stock Sony kernel)and the phone needs to be downgraded to 4.4.4 and there are some custom ROMs out there which may work on locked bootloaders.
Yes,you will be able to flash custom recovery and use mods that are available on XDA and also xposed works fine on LB
You won't be able to flash custom kernel or custom ROM for LB
Yes downgrade is possible
Hello together,
I've rooted my Jelly 2 smartphone and unlocked its bootloader (using MAGISK). It worked well and I gained root access.
After that, I am not very happy with it and I want to undo it again (pls dont question that).
As I am quiet a newbie in rooting, I don't really know how to unroot the device again, flash its custom ROM and lock the bootloader again.
I had clicked "uninstall" in the MAGISK App and due to that, I've lost my rooting access.
But I also want to flash the normal stock ROM again and lock the bootloader.
May you please help me how to do it? I have downloaded an official stock from from the Unihertz Jelly 2 phone but dont know what to do next.
There are many diffeferent tutorials out there and I feel quiet lost.
Please help!
Thanks in Advance
