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,
I bougth a new Xperia L branded to Vodafone.
Android version : 4.2.2 / kernel version : 3.4.0-g74b701b-00054-gde56c65-dirty / Build number : 15.3.A.1.14
I rooted succesfully my Xperia L using rootkitXperia(L).
I install also CWM recovery 6 using this site: h**p://techglen.com/2014/01/01/install-cwm-6-on-xperia-l-c2104-c2105-locked-unlocked-bootloader
Recovery seems to work, at least I try to baclup my current stock rom.
I validate my bootloader status, and it says unlock bootloader allowed: no.
Can I anyway install a custom kernel and KitKat Rom?
Thanks

Unfortunately, you can't
Installing a custom kernel needs an unlocked bootloader
The recovery I flash seems not 100% working.
What are the possible recoveries I can flash?
It sems that we can eventually flash roms for bootloader locked.
Can someone please tell me which Rom can be used and what is the best one?
Thanks

Yes, the recovery for locked bootloader doesn't work completely, though you can flash zips.
Also, presently there are no other recoveries for locked bootloaders.
There are some good roms for locked bootloaders. I have not tested all of them but both DextroDroid and CnT seem to be good. You can search in the development section and those marked with [L-B] or [L/B] (means Looked Bootloader) will work for you. Go through the whole thread to know about all the pros and cons.
Hope it helps.
Hit thanks if it does
I found Revolution HD, will try install it tonigth!
Thanks again

Did you flash the specific recovery for your firmware?
Eg. If you are on .93 firmware, you need to flash the custom recovery for .93

Sorry to tell you that I don't know where you can download a suitable custom recovery for your ROM.
I searched for you but only found the one for .74 rom.
Or just flash a stock kernel of your rom via flashtool after you had rooted.

Look in the [NUT] Dual recovery thread in the cross device development section.
You do not need a certain recovery for each firmware version, just for each device.
Root, install recovery for Z3 and done
So me start from the beginning , my phone C2104 was completely updated i used this method to unlock my bootloader and used flashtool http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-l/general/xperia-l-how-to-flash-tool-unlocking-t2337955, it unlocked and fell into bootloop so i continued with the method used flashmode to flash C2105_15.0.A.1.31_CE.ftf Stock Rom via Flash tool it worked and i was out of bootloop then i tried few method to root the device didn't workout i found this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-l/development/kernel-extended-stock-kernel-v6-t2321550 followed it got the CWM recovery started then i flashed Glade Rom V-2.0 and CM11-23FEB both go into bootloop and yes tried flashmode to flash C2105_15.0.A.1.31_CE.ftf Stock Rom again didn't work only errors and now guys come in need your help and guidance and thank you..
You are doing right thing but it happens because I think your on version 4.1.2
Flash the latest firmware 4.2.2 then
Use towelroot app for root access
Flash the kernel thru flashtool that u mention in post.then try it will work
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.
Hi there, I want to relock my bootloader and install stock recovery for X507, EUI 019s, is there any guide to do that?
P.S: I want my phone back to stock, didn't find any link for stock recovery, also i don't wanna use sp tool as it bricked my device last time, so complicated.
Right now bootloader is unlocked and twrp installed.
Thanks in Advance!
