unlocking bootloader

hello I have SE LWW and rooting status says that unlocking of the bootloader not allowed...so it means that I can't unlock it from SE official web site...how can I unlock my bootloader then?

You can unlock it using the test poit method. But be carefully!
I've succeded using this method.

You may not have access to fastboot and I think the BL unlocking will not solve your problem because you will not be able to use the fastboot to flash new kernels.
You can unlock it using a paid method.
Here is a link with a post with the same problem

And here is an unlocking tutorial

Nope, root doesn`t wipe data bro. Its unlocking the Bootloader that wipes the device, this is necessary to root the device.

Use HELIUM app to backup your personal data before unlocking the BL. (doesn't need root access)

There was way on 4.2.2 JB without unlocking boot loader motochoppers method but it won't work on Kitkat ,currently there is no method to do without unlocking boot loader, why not u unlock it after getting out of the box.

Could Not Root Xperia L (C2104) 4.2.2,help!!

I read all the methods posted here but it dint work out....i tried:
1.)DooMLoRD_Easy-Rooting-Toolkit_v17_perf-event-exploit
2.)Xperia_L_ROOT
3.)motochopper
all the exploits failed.....so i cant even backup my TA,it says your device is not properly rooted....
today i learned all the terms related to flashing and flashed my phone using flashtool with stock rom "C2104_15.3.A.0.26_India.ftf"....its working fine...
can i flash a custom rom without rooting and with locked bootloader in similar manner as i flashed stock rom..??
without rooting i cant flash CWM recovery,right..???
without CWM recovery i cant install custom rom,right..??
custom roms are already rooted(i read in forums) so can i flash a custom rom using flashtool (but my device is neither rooted nor unlocked)....??
Phone:
Xperia L C2104
Android version 4.2.2
Build number 15.3.A.0.26

You will need to root to install a custom Rom. (we currently have just one lol) and for cwm you'll need an unlocked bootloader. Idk about locked bootloaders, I think levered had a thread idk. Oh and as for rooting, check this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2302700

@prodigysy:
is downgrade possible ..???
acc to u i flash stock 4.1.2 in the same way i did for 4.2.2 using flashtool...then use motochopper to root ..then backup ta...unlock bootloader...but then we remain in stock rom 4.1.2 right..??
or we can then use the custom roms for 4.2.2 directly without flashing the stock 4.2.2...???

Actually..
when the fw update rolled out I installed it..
..later wat I did was download the stock rom(15.a.0.2.17) from the forum itself and flashed it using flashtool..
Then I used motochopper..backed up my ta..n then went down wid full root..
downgrade isnt possible directly..
---------- Post added at 07:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:19 PM ----------
And no I dnt think any exploit works currently directly on 4.2.2
I didnt want to void warranty..so I went with keeping the bootloader intact and backup ta..
incase phn got damaged later on..
U can straight away unlock the bootloader and then use motochopper and root ur phn..but then backing up ta wont make sense!coz u need to backup ta before bl unlocking,only then u ll get a locked bootloader if u restore it!
---------- Post added at 07:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:24 PM ----------
And one more thing(srry for makin it so long)
u can wait for sumtime...if u dnt wanna follow this long process..
the guys dat work on these exploits are some hardworkers...and they ll bring up an exploit for locked bootloader shortly!!!

what else i cud do...????
really its very confusing.....when i read the advantages of rooting it says we can flash a custom rom that has not been officially released for our phones....like we have 4.2.2 n if smone creates a custom rom based on 4.4 for our phone we must be able to flash it right...??
but the clean n tweaked rom says in its instruction flash ur fone wid 4.2.2 stock rom then root then flash custom rom n again root....why its so..??
i rooted 4.1.2 then i must be able to flash that....cuz u already know the problem is 4.2.2 is not getting rooted....
i must keep 4.1.2 till someone tells me how to flash CWM n flash a custom rom on 4.1.2 or someone tells me how to root 4.2.2......

To enter CWM, unlock bootloader is required..
CnT v4.and up have the method to flash the rom for Lock Bootloader but its based on latest firmware (4.2.2)
but its required root 4.2.2 stock or custom for the script to work.

sorry for being late to reply.....
so if i unlock my bootloader using flashtool then i can install CWM........
which rom will i be able to flash then...??? i mean CnT based on 4.2.2 or CnT based on 4.1.2....??
and plzz someone help me to install linux on android.......the method i found reboots my device everytime i open the terminal.....

Yes, but please read carefully about unlocking bootloader, some devices got bootloop after unlocking...
so be prepared with ftf file for flashing via flashtool..than you can have CWM by flashing custom kernel...again make sure you know which kernel support your firmware version..
For CnT version 3(4.1.2) comes with zip file but for latest ver(4.2.2). its comes with script installer that don't required CWM method..

But it will install another superuser app to install supersu
1. Go to play store
2.download and install Super SU
3.Change it into system app
4. Restart your device
5. Enjoy ur trouble free rooting experience
Download V root from google, just type in mgyun vroot and open the first website and click the blue button with the download sign

Are you stupid?
You can't see in forums that Vroot is malware and all threads from xda regarding Vroot were deleted and that's why we use another safe method for rooting.

Yeah, no problem. Install flashtool in your PC and install all the drivers. Also install Sony PC Companion, it resolves some of your driver problems. Then Connect your phone to PC in flashmode( remove your battery, hold volume down button and connect to PC, LED will turn green ) and just flash your stock rom ftf file using flashtool, everything goes fine. You can download flashtool from here.

Is the twrp out yet?

My Phone got an update a few days ago and it gave me the ability to unlock bootloader. I did not actually finish the process to unlock because I want to wait for others to try it out first. The update was supposed to enhance the face unlock and did not mention Anything about bootloader unlock being activated. Any brave souls out there who has tried it yet?
