Help please (CWM)

Hello budys, yesterday i bought the xperia L, it is really amazing...! I rooted it but i cant find how to put cwm on it... I have BL locked can you help me please? Thanks in advance.
Sent from my C2104 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

CWM is only in kernel's. If you allowed to unlock your BL then do it and flash a kernel and you will have a CWM. No CWM for locked bootloader's.

U.u my BL allowed is No

Because they can. Our kernel got bug that prevent cwm for working properly and without patch cwm will not work.

Unlock the phone (carrier lock), that should change the capability to unlock bootloader.

Try re-flashing your rom using these settings in flashtool (just using your specific rom).
*You need to ensure "Exclude TA" is clicked*
This should resolve your issue however, if this doesn't then I will be happy to help more.
Leave a thanks if I helped.

Is your bootloader unlocked/unlockable? Your screenshot shows that the device is SIMLOCKED but this can be removed with an unlocked bootloader.

If you unlock your bootloader again you can then (usually) get your phone unlocked using a PC based piece of software. I will look around for a unlocking application. With [x] network 0 you may run into issues but its worth a try. Do you know what network your device would be locked too? Did you flash a generic rom or a branded (network) rom?

You need to flash a generic rom to your device. A non-generic rom can lead to simlock problems.
Also try following @Droid.Riz 's guide very closely.

A generic rom (may also be known as an unbranded rom) is a rom without any network information. They are taken from unlocked/sim free phones.
THIS is the Central Europe Generic Rom. I can look for and find others if needed. (You do need to register for an account there but the guide is well written)

i installed on my phone but Sim Card still not working. i don't know what to do

i think the only option you now have is to send to sony service center.
lock the BL, unroot, flash stock, complain and HOPE they fix it for free.

It may be in the furture.
But at this moment it's not possible.

It's not possible due to XL not having recovery partition.
Thanks bye, forgot about CWM on LB or sell your XL and buy one which can be unlock.
