hey guys!
I wanted to flash a custom rom to my xperia e3, but the problem is that my phone doesnt let me unlock the bootloader to install the CWM recovery.
Is there any possible way to unlock the bootloader?
Thanks.

* # * # 7378423 # * # * the service menu will open, click Service info> Configuration> Rooting status, appear no, then you can not do anything!
If you can not unlock the bootloader, you will not be able to install the cwm and even if in the future someone can do cwm run in lock bootloader you will not be able to install another rom like CyanogenMod 12.1 because it is always necessary that original bootloader is replaced by the CyanogenMod 12.1!
So if you can not unlock bootloader can not do anything!
it says no... i really wanted to install a rom.
thanks.

1st you have to wait for someone to port the cwm lock bootloaders.
You just can flash custom rom "Based On Stock firmware" BUT with the ORIGINAL kernel without modifications.
For example, you have to "D2203" this "custom ROM" and D2202 have this.
NONE of these two roms works in your case!

Guys I'm still on stock rom, it's only rooted but stock recovery and locked bootloader and I'm sick of it.
Now I want to unlock the bootloader, install a custom recovery and flash a good rom.
I tried to collect infos but it's hard on a forum with 4 devices.
Would you please point me where it's explained how to unlock bootloader and to the adviced rom?
What would you suggest, a "stock" 4.1.2 one or a cm11? Are the latter reliable?

go to this link and unlock the BL :- unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com and use flashtool...
use Alienrom for great battery life and performance or seraphic rom for the latest ui
unfortunately cm11 camera wont work + cant play any videos,

From here you have "Q3: How do I unlock the bootloader?" you have link at the end its preti goooood explined,
and you have "Q5: What is the best ROM or kernel?" (it is against the rules) you'll have to try it on your own
Ok, thanks. Another thing not clear to me is if exists a permanent recovery for jb and .31 firmware. I've only found a temporary one...

If i was you i prefer use stock rom (4.1.2)
You can flash vengance kernel and get some OC :laugh:
And there is a lot mod for the stock rom, like the lockscreen, status bar, etc
Thanks, but what about permanent recovery? Does it exist?

Hi all,
I recently rooted my Z5 and then the OTA Xperia updates kept failing. I then looked into why this maybe happening and to cut a long story short, every ROM i've tried, starts to load via TWRP and then blue text says 'error executing updater binary in zip' etc
I am copying the zip files over to my SD card.
Please help

best thing to do then is to flash this https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/61697/G900PVPU3BOK4_G900PSPT3BOK4_SPR
then TWRP 3.0.2. after flashing twrp boot into recovery and select reboot and itll ask you to swipe right to enable root. Do that and youre stock and rooted with official firmware

root it and get twrp make a backup of the stock flash a custom rom( I recommend slim 6 )
download gapps
btw this will most likely trip knox
Trimming the storage could help, but check your emmc first if it has the brickbug. If the bug is present, don't try to trim it as it will break your tab. Trim requires root on your rom because android supports trim natively on 4.3+ and our rom is on 4.1.2
can i fix it without root?
because i want keep the original rom.

TWRP shouldn't affect your device's performance. Maybe Placebo...
And if you're up for the task, by all means install a custom rom. It contains the latest optimizations and security patches for android so it should be faster than the stock rom. Although there are some bugs on 6.0, they're minor http://andi34.github.io/known_bugs_tab2_6.0.html
Good luck!
