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
Hello Everyone
I hope you understand me, because i'm from the Netherlands and my english is not so good in typing
Is there a thread or is there someone who can help me to root my Sony Xperia Z3 D6603 with Lollipop 5.1.1 Build-number 23.4.A.0.546
I have unlocked my bootloader because i thought it was easier to root.
I have search on google and xda-developers how to root my device but nothing worked i have installed Giefroot, KingRoot, Klingo Root, One Click Root but nothing worked i even downloaded Flash-Tool 0.9.19.10 where i have unlocked my bootloader with and tried to root with flash-tool.
I always had samsung devices and was easy to root and install custom firmwares but Sony devices is not so easy to root so i need some help.
Greetings Mustang1982
Can't help completely, however beter search the forum. Bytheway English is good to understand. I'm Dutch too.
Seen thread in Z2 recently about pre-rooted firmwares with the latest sony firmware ending with 1.232.
Looking into that for my Z2 in a couple of days.
For whats worth it. Read the thread completely, has some steps about unlocking, recovery.
In basics you need to have original sony FW in case of failures, and flashtool and drivers for your Z3 installed. Mostly Windows 7 PC or Laptop.
Goodluck.

Install a pre-rooted ROM from the Development section if you have an unlocked bootloader.

No prerooted ROM needed for rooting with unlocked bootloader.
All you have to do is:
1. Install custom kernel for 23.4.A.0.546 (my androplus kernel or other kernel)
2. Enter into TWRP
3. Install SuperSU
Hello Androplus
Is In your custum kernel twrp and SuperUS been installed?
And can i flash youre custom kernel with flash-tool?
Sent from my D6603 using XDA Free mobile app
1. Yes, AndroPlus kernel have a TWRP
2. No, SuperSU should be extracted from TWRP recovery
3. Read carefully how to flash a custom kernel with an unlocked bootloader. FlashTool isn't used in this process.
Ok how can i find this page on XDA?
And on this page is everything step by step how to install?
Sony does not have a recovery mode where i can install the kernel?
And if i have installed the custom kernel how can i start into twrp. What buttons do i have to hold?
Sorry for So much questions but i have no idea how it works on Sony devices
Thx for al the help guys:thumbup:

Now you dont have a recovery, that is why you could not get into it.
Lets go from step by step.
First step: download a custom kernel and flash it with a fastboot tool. All information is here https://www.google.com/search?q=how+to+flash+kernel+with+fastboot
Here is a direct link to the theme with an AndroPlus kernel for your device http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=56439759

i need also method to install recovery without unlock the bootloader
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.
