Let me google that for you.
How do you unlock it? That depends on the manufacturer of your device, the device itself, and the carrier you've purchased the device from (if applicable).

I've already installed a custom rom and I don't think that I unlocked any bootloader soft of thing ???

it is not always necessary, it depends on your phone and the available methods to install roms.

[help][cwm] sony xperia e

Hi!
Has anyone on this forum got a method on how to install clockwork mod recovery on locked bootloader.
You can install CWM on many other phones with locked bootloader like XPERIA Z etc.
So why not on XPERIA E.

Sorry pal, I don't think we can install cwm without unlocking bootloader... it's just the way it is...I guess we'll have to deal with it
But then... Google is your friend! :thumbup:

Thread closed.. bootloader is not locked.. cwm released ..

samsung should give the option to unlock bootloaders on all phones. They're not good manufactures like Oppo, Oppo phones come with cwm and root, and thery give users official builds of color rom, cyanogenmod, and paranoid android.

No. You have to port the ROM first.
Look around, I'm sure there are other great Custom-ROMs for your Xperia device
Another thing to think of with the custom rom is that it supports your carriers drivers. Whats the good of a custom rom if your data doesn't work.
