For a class project I decided to load a custom ROM on my Sony Xperia J ST26a. I have bought it from Bell and the way my contract and phone is set up when I enter *#*#7378423#*#* --> Service Info --> Configuration --> Rooting Status : bootloader unlock allowed: No
Is there an easy way around this?
I'm not doing a kernel just a simple stock ROM like XperiaPremiuM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-j-e/development/cm10-ultimate-xperia-premium-v3-xperia-t2159103)
I am running on 11.2A.0.33 firmware and android version 4.1.2
Everything I have previously looked at and tried hasn't worked such as the DooMLoRD Easy Rooting Toolkit.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1321582 (I do realize this has more than likely been patched)
Please help and fast. Project is due in 2 weeks
(Sorry abut my n00bness is this looks bad or isn't visually appealing)
If you asking how to root, last time i rooted J it was with Flashtool, but don't remember which one of root methods i use.
Good Luck.
Xperia M2 D2303 on K.K. 4.4.4

Not sure if it will work for Sola, but you may want to check out the test point metod to unlock the bootloader. You won't lose DRM. you can also relockmthe B any time you want.
fter 2 days of long hours of failure attempts, im so frustrated now. xda users say its not safe to unlock bootloader if phone's manufacturing date is over 11W29+, which will results in hard brick. my sola has date of 12W38, but i see many guide in unlocking sola's bootloader. so what the heck is all this bout? btw how to tell whether bootloader has been unlock? i used flashtool n i my sola reboot from fastboot. it seems ok(can be use) but i dono whether the bootloader is unlock......im so damn confused right now. this drives me so crazy........

Are you still looking for an answer about how to tell if bootloader is locked or unlocked?
just try to update with pc companion or update service , if it says modified software then the bootloader is unlocked , if it still continues ( cancel it ) then it means its locked.. I've not tried it but read it here.
Hi everyone. I'm new in this website and I REALLY need your help. I want to root my cell phone (xperia mini st15i), and I want if possible to give me a trustworthy video so I can root it step by step. The reason of this thread is having a video from you guys that I know I can trust. My build number is 4.1.B.0.587 Kernel version is 2.6.32.9-perf and I'm using Android 4.0.4. Hope that you'll help me and not being pain in the ass. Thanks!
There's a sub forum for xperia mini. Better to ask it in there. I had the same device one year ago. Easiest way is unlocked the bootloader and install a CWM added kernel and flash superSU zip file. There are many ways to root it without unlocking bootloader.

Hi all, I have a Sony Xperia J ST26i rooted by MasterRoot, with a locked bootloader. Is there any way that I can install Custom Roms using a particular method without unlocking it? Thanks!
Yes, search Alien Rom you have instructions ther how to install. Basically any stock based Rom can be installed on locked boatloader.
Good Luck.

Hi i have read through all the guides by king vortex and followed them word for word without success. i have had my tablet rooted before but i kept on getting a request to update my software which was getting tiresome so i did. this removed my root when i did this (very annoying as had my tablet set up perfectly for what i wanted). when i tried to root it again however i for i couldnt do it with the build i had currently installed (10.5.A.0.292) so the guid asked me to use the flashtool to return it to 10.5.A.0.230 which is fine as I have some experience with flashing already. the only issue i'm finding is whenever i do flash it with this software it is bricking the tablet and i have to use emma to repair it which just reinstalls the most up to date software which puts me back at square one. do you have any advice to help me with this???
my tablet model is
xperia tablet Z LTE
SGP321
build number 10.5.A.0.230
android 4.4.4
Unlocked bootloader
Please review [STOCK ROM] [Root] [FTF] 4.4.2 Kitkat Xperia Tablet Z SGP311 10.5.A.0.230 VMo UK IE
You may post on that thread in case you need additional information or have questions.
Two days ago I just bought this Z3. Somethings I would ask:
1. If I root my Z3, have dual recovery, can I get & instal lollipop without flashtool? I would like to get lollipop via OTA or Sony Bridge.
2. Will I loose my root if I upgrade from KK (rooted) to lollipop (via OTA or Sony Bridge)?
3. Now I'm still on KK, not rooted, locked bootloader, only update app on playstore, is there a way/tool so I can make my own FTF in this KK version? Since I cant found FTF Indonesia region (there only AU, IN, SG).. So I can help other user in Indonesia..
Sorry for my english & too much asking.. I'm new in xperia things, coming from htc m7..
Thanks in advance.
