Hi!
I bought a new phone for a familiar (Xperia E) and I want to install CM before giving it to him. The stock rom has many manufactor and operator apps that only waste space. I want the phone to be the simpliest and smoothiest possible for my familiar.
In my Galaxy Nexus I know how to do it, unlock the bootloader > install custom recovery > flash rom > root, but in xperia E the process seems totaly different. I tried to unlock the bootloader with this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2142824 but the drivers and other links are already off and I couldn't find the files I need in google.
So... how can I install a custom rom on the phone and get rid of all the apps that come pre-installed? I also know that CM doesn't officially support Xperia E, does the unofficial port work well or do I have to flash a different rom? If so, which one?

Single SIM or dual? If it's single, download jjm34's ROM and extract the kernel from inside it. Then download hsr0's ROM and flash it. Then flash the kernel from hsr0's ROM using fastboot. If it's dual SIM, just flash hsr0's ROM.
Both ROMs can be found in the the Android development section... sorry, it's night here, too sleepy to find the link right now...
I need to learn how to do that, can you link me some tutorials?
The phone is single SIM btw
sorry for the insistence, but I really need your help here

No you don't, you've just got to use the search feature and learn through reading. Hasty, impatient or lazy users here are the ones that brick their phones.

damn. I can read and I know how to search. I learned everything I need for my Nexus and didn't ask twice... But Xperia E has awful support (compared to GN) and there are some broken links. Is it so hard to explain with steps, and a more concrete explanation when you know what you're talking about.
That's not an excuse to insist someone give you all the steps when tutorials already exist.
You just got to search for them. They are complete, up to date and correct so you just need to read.

also... I want to install a custom rom so I really need to do this?
In my nexus I would need a custom recovery, but I flash it via adb with the unlocked bootloader, is it different in xperia E? That's the kind of info I really need and you telling me would save me great time...

1) Unlock bootoader
2) Install kernel with cwm built-in
3) Install rom from cwm.
Kernel is flashed using fastboot.
I searched on how to unlock the bootloader when you don't have permission to do that: http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/ but couldn't find anything...
Is there a way to work around that or will the phone be always unable to install new roms or custom recoveries?

phoneunlockserver.com is where I got mine unlocked.
@CtrlAltDelIrl That website has a yellow WOT rating - I wouldn't go there.
@Rayaxe You don't have permission to unlock the bootloader? Then it's impossible to get CWM, and therefore impossible to get ROMs. Whoops, I was wrong. See below.

When you don't really know what you are talking about you should just keep quiet.
All Xperia Miro, J, E & Tipo can now be unlocked even if it says bootloader unlock allowed = No.
So I hope this clears up the disinformation written above.
As for your warnings on the site, maybe you should use a reliable and secure OS like Linux and visit it.

If the above had read any of this thread he would have seen it repeatedly that it is now possible to unlock all bootloaders. But instead he chose to skip on past and give his opinion which is totally wrong.
He then complains about the link I posted, the site is run a friend of the creator of setools and setools2 and is reliable.
My post is not the one which is rude, the abrupt, all knowing one above mine is.
Now run along and play if you have nothing to contribute.

You know, when I don't know what I'm talking about, I usually do shut up, first know what I'm talking about, then talk.
Can you show any proof for this? Prove this, then I'll see.
And yup, disinformation cleared - you mean to say it's possible to unlock the bootloader when bootloader isn't supposed to be unlockable, which I understood without you clearing it up for me.
As for using a “secure OS like Linux”, I already do - Android is based on the Linux kernel, remember? And the WOT warning was generated when I was on a Linux Mint machine, using Firefox.

Oh right. It's a very old Sony Ericcson tool used to unlock bootloaders and so on.
It really is legit but it's relatively new, the latest hack is only about 6 weeks old. I was the first tester for all our firmwares so I know it works.
---------- Post added at 06:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:04 PM ----------
So seriously if anyone wants their unlockable bootloader unlocked go to phoneunlockserver.com and PM Jinx13.
Even tell him I sent you
This will save you money as you won't have to buy 30 credits on the SETools site. Jinx13 is an authorised retailer and unlocks your phone online by remote access. I can assure you it is a professional and swift service.

Hey.
Just bought a HTC Evo 3D for £220.00 and I have no idea what roms are ect, infact this is my first android phone, and like the idea of being able to have a better camera on my phone and using beats audio.
I read your how to guide on how to instal this, but it went way over my head. I dont even know what a ROM is or kernal ect..
Is there a step by step dummy guide for someone who has never used a android phone before eg:
First install this program on your PC then do this, then you need to get this file and install it here ect and then do this.
I am seriously android dumb, my last phone was a sony Elm which would not even get the internet. and now hooked on the android phones.
Thanks so much.

Hi I know what you mean but really you just need to search around google is your best friend and also his other friend called you tube you will find all your answers but just make sure to read before you try but you will be fine we all started just like you so I know how you feel good luck
Welcome! No questions are dumb. We all have to start somewhere! I started Android with the Droid X. Android rules.

Good luck man!!!

We're all on the wrong track here: the OP said the guide was too simple already -- we therefore should set ourselves to the task of making more complicated. Knowing both myself and the rest of you, this should come rather naturally, so what's taking you so long? MAKE IT HARD ALREADY!
J/K -- read the stickies. In my opinion, if you can't do it with all the info provided --which is more than enough --then read and learn a LOT more on the basics of Android before you even attempt this (suggested topic would include at least recoveries, bootloaders, nandroid backups, and, obviously, rooting). You run a significant chance to end up with an expensive paperweight if you don't. If you do not feel comfortable yet, play around with your 700 for a bit, try rooting next (little harm done, little risk involved) and then move on to the heavier stuff.
I thought I was somewhat tech savvy ... not troo however!
In order to flash a ROM which comes as second nature to most Androidians I was at a total loss initially.
Yet with concentration, YouTube, XDA, Google Play and a slowdown of tipping the wineglass I was able to crawl from the sandpit.
This has all lead to a new mountain to climb.
There's a few things I find tough like fastboot for instance and that pesky Titanium Fup , yet I'll absorb those eventually.
Dealing with Android and it's many options has definitely been a reading experience.
Good luck to all who dive in!

go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1795156 to download the unlock apk tool (use second link). Launch the app and just follow the on screen direction, that's it. NOTE: currently Asus is having issue with their server, so the tool will failed. You just keep trying until it works. Once your device is unlock just follow the link and continue with section 2. Remember, after you install custom recovery (TWRP), you just boot into recovery and flash the Cleanrom. Cleanrom already rooted so you don't have to root your device.
Heck if did the ROM flash I'm pretty sure most anyone could figure out how to do it.
Linux\Android is a whole different animal to me so I've been studying...even bought a book about it

That would've been very sound advice about two to three weeks ago.
Sorry that I am a noob, but I have been reading threads for a couple hours and haven't found a source that will answer my question.
What is the easiest way to get JB on my HOX?
I have ran into some that seem easy but only to find that I need a CID of HTC_xxx where mine is CWS_001. After a post directing me to this forum I have continued to try to find something to help me get JB and no luck. If there is a post that describes this please reply with it, or if anyone would be kind enough to post directions on how to do this that would be greatly appreciated.
Again, sorry that I am a noob at this, first Android phone, switched from iOS after Apple's disappointing "new phone", aka iPhone 4s with an extra row of icons.
Thanks!

You have to change your CID from the AT&T default before you can unlock anyway. Once you do that, it doesn't matter anymore.

Ok...all these noobs getting the phone for free are now pissing me off completely. If you want to overcome being a noob, you have to put in time to read and search. DO NOT DO ANYTHING BEFORE FEELING COMFORTABLE WITH THE INFORMATION AT HAND
Being a noob means you should have at least watched the noob video when signing up. If you did not you broke the first rule of XDA and you need to watch it. If you did watch it(which I suspect you did not) you would know to search and read before posting. The community is here to answer questions we all have, but not questions that have been answered over and over again. Nor to spoon feed you.

Here are GREAT guides for noobs basically from start to finish here.

Thank you to everyone (except Chef). I will continue to read and do research before rooting or flashing my phone.
Chef, I have read through the forums quite a lot, asked others who have flashed other Android devices and watched many video tutorials on the subject. But before doing anything I wanted to ask a specific question that I did not see in the forums to get a clear and concise answer. Since I PAID for my phone, I do not want to brick it, hence my thread. I suggest you pull your over-inflated tech ego out of your swollen rear and learn to read. I said I was a noob at this. Noobs have questions. People on forums answer questions to help them. You, on the other hand, just act like a prick and contribute nothing to the thread. Thanks for absolutely no helpful information, please stop posting on any forum if this is how you do it.

Where do I begin to correct this post?
First, let's start with the fact that you asked "what is the easiest way to get JB on HOX?" Well assuming you read, and searched and etc. you wouldn't need to ask that question considering you would have had the answer already because you in fact read and you would know that you can flash countless JB roms if bootloader unlocked and rooted.
My over inflated tech ego must have got in the way though. Even though you asked a question which is so similar to all the other JB related questions asked on this forum.
Obviously you need to continue to read(skimming and reading are different) considering the fact that you try to run an international RUU on your phone...
I was looking out for your best interest, if you want to take it to a personal level and call me a prick so be it, but I sure hope I help ingrained the fact that you need to read more before tinkering.
I think my rear is swollen I should go lay down
Zac, if you have any trouble or need help I for one would be willing to help, sent you a pm so we don't offend anyone else in here.

Where the heck is "over there"? I assume some other device.
If somebody with 400+ posts on here doesn't get the purpose of custom ROMs, what the heck have you been doing here all this time?

Check the existing thread. Everything you need has already been explained.
@jonas.anderssen
Why exactly do you want to root? Because you have a specific need, a particular application that you can't live without? Or because it's super-cool to have a rooted phone? Rooting can be simple, but it brings difficulties, such as no longer being able to install OTA updates, so you're looking at doing manual updates every month every time Google releases a new version with security updates.

There are countless threads here and also dedicated stickied threads describing step by step how to do this. If you want someone to hold your hand and don't want to do any of the reading or work, then you shouldn't root your phone. Because you'll just be on here in a month crying about how your phone is bricked and wanting someone to hold your hand again.

Hello, i am sorry i thought i replied to you but somehow i missed it. I would like to root my secondary phone because i do have some apps i cant use them without a unrooted phone. I am aware that i wont be able to install weekly updates but thats not necessary because this is a secondary phone.
I have found out a website that shows me how to root it it asked me to download fastboot, recovery clockworl. beta supersu, android studio and hamemrhead mmb2. It seems to be a complex issue but i remember in the past i used ODIn and it rooted the phone within 10 seconds without any issue. Is that still possible?
Thank you again for your time
Ten seconds, no.
But the website says to download "hamemrhead mmb2", which I suppose is Hammerhead MMB29S. If all you want is root, and not a new ROM, you can do it easily by booting into recovery (CWM or TWRP) and installing SuperSU v2.66. It's that easy. 30 seconds, maybe.
And if you're going to work on your phone you need to work on your typing skills first...
You have an excellent resource in this Q&A section, had you read prior to posting your own thread, you probably would be rooted by now.

New to this, I got my XPERIA XZ about a week ago. Have had some quirky software issues and think it might be related to some bad apps that are on it stock. How can I unlock the BL so I can use something like SONY's emma or flashtool?
Also, if emma and flashtool aren't the same, what is the difference? They both appear to be from SONY.
And they give you the ROM choice right, including near stock ones with or without AVG, right? Or am I dreaming. I have Nougat, and would like to go to a near stock Nougat build without AVG, but stay with the Sony menu interlays, etc. I suppose that's the Sony kernel.
If that makes sense. Thanks for the help, sorry for the newb questions.
Just search a little. I wrote a guide right here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-xz/how-to/how-to-unlock-bl-kernel-twrp-root-t3541648

Thank you for your reply... your guide is exceptionally well written and easy to follow. I have already returned my XPERIA XZ to the seller, so I won't be needing it, but will definitely bookmark it for future use in the event someone I know needs to unlock their bootloader and/or install a different ROM.
