1. have i to Root the phone before unlocking bootloader or after that? (Wanna use RootGenius)
2. do i need a new recovery like Cwm or can i flash the new Rom zip with the unlocked bootloader?
3. if unlocking dont work: someone got a link for flashing cwm using odin?
Thanks a lot!
hello guys i need a little help. i am using sony xperia 2011 device which is xperia mini st15i.
its rooted with eroot on stock rom and stock kernel with locked bootloader.
i wanted to install cwm mod on my phone but i found that i cant install cwm on my device as my stock kernel does not have recovery partition and i dont want to unlock my bootloader atm. i tried xparts and xdaromhub to install cwm on my device without unlocking bl but none of the method seems to be working for me. now i am thinking to go ahead and unlocking my bl and install a custom kernel but i want to know is there any method by which i cam backup my current state of my phone i.e. in future if i want to revert back to stock rom and stock kernel with bootloader locked like it was never unlocked. if there is a method for that please tell me or if u know any other method of installing cwm without unlocking bl pls tell me that too. also i have a backup of my stock firmware from pc companion which i made .ftf file with flashtool. i have flashed it successfully in past so will that firmware relock my bootloader and revert to stock kernel and stock rom if i flash it with flashtool after unlocking bl? any help would be greatly appreciated. thank you so much for reading
hi i installed old version of xparts and i was able to install the cwm 5.0 and make it work but still i cant install 5.5 version of cwm from latest xparts any suggestions. also pls can any1 tell me about my question above that will the stock firmware .ftf file relock bootloader and stock kernel? pls any help even a little would be appreciated thank you

Does anyone of you know where can i get a custom recovery (like CWM or TWRP) for my SONY XPERIA C3 running on ANDROID 4.4.2.

KitKat = Problem
The problem is that you're running 4.4.2. The recovery in my thread is for 5.0.2/5.1.1. Download Xperifirm and Flashtool. Use Xperifirm to download ROM version 19.4.A.0.182. Then unlock your bootloader with Flashtool. Then flash the ftf, and install the recovery. Then it will work.
P.S: Unlocking your bootloader will perform a /data wipe. Make sure you back up. Apps/Settings/Contacts to Google, Photos/Music to another form of storage. Note that the Internal Storage partition is included under /data.
Hello guys i want to install a custom rom on my sony m2 aqua, so i will need some help about the steps i need to perform.
First i am on android 5.1.1 Lollipop ( Sony's stock firmware 18.6.A.0.182, Linux version 3.4.0-gc82e70f). What should i do first unlock bootloader or root the device and flash recovery after this or first i root then unlock bootloader and install recovery ?
Is it in this order:
1. Unlock bootloader
2. Root
3. Flash recovery
4. Flash ROM
Any other steps i need to in order to do the job ? And which method do you prefer for unlocking bootloader,rooting... Thanks.
For some roms you dont need unlocked bootloader (LB- sign on forum) you need costum recovery and root to flash costum rom. For unlocking bootloader check http://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/unlock-yourboot-loader/ read carefuly, Its not recomended for everyone. For instaling costum roms check rom section in XDA-forums.
Hey guys, so i have a Xperia z2 and i want to root it and also install a custom recovery.
Ive unlocked the bootloader using flashtool.
The device doesn't go into recovery, it just shows only the sony logo and then blank screen and normal restart......
Build number is 23.5.A.1.291
Kernel version is 3.4.0-perf gc14c2d5
Ive checked alot of other guides, tried kingroot and flashtool.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
