Hi guys I'm JulioRivz and i've a big question. Well, i'm a begginer in the mobile flashing
My question are: Can I install MIUI from this post on my Xperia Miro with locked bootloader?.
If yes, How?
I'm very noob, Please give me the instructions to do this.
Sorry for my bad english.
No first of all you have to unlock your bootloader.
Sent from my ST23i
And how i can do this if my bootloader unlock allowed show no???
:/
No. You can only use roms for locked bootloader only.
Sent from My Awesome Paradox ST21i
If your unlock status is no then for now there is no solution available to unlock it.
You will have to stick to locked bootloader roms.

1.First u need to unlock bootloader
Check bootloader status,dial from your phone to check status :
*#*#7378423#*#*
service info --> configuration.If its allowed,go to sony official site and do the unlock bootloader procedure.
2. After unlocking bootloader u must root ur phone.Do the update stock sw version to 11.0.A.5.8.After that go to unlockroot.com and dwn app.Usb debugging enable and start app.EDIT:after rooting google clockworkmode recovery and flash it via cmd
3. Find and download MIUi rom,flash boot.img with cmd.Transfer rom zip file and flash it via CWM.
4. Wait after that set up ur phone and enjoy
Hello, everyone!
My dad has an E3 LTE (D2203) with locked bootloader.
I checked on the Sony dev site, followed all the instructions and unfortunately it says "Allow bootloader unlock: NO" :crying:
My question is if I can use the Flashtool to flash an official ROM without unlocking the bootloader.
I have the official ROM packed as a FTF file and I'm not sure whether it's 100% to proceed with flashing it or not.
I've read on some page that it might soft-brick the device if the BL is locked, EVEN IF the firmware is an official one.
Has anyone tried this already?
Thank you in advance for all your answers/suggestion :good:
It is perfectly safe to flash from Flashtool as long as the ftf is proper and you do it the right way.
@atomicr Thank you but could you please tell me what "do it the right way" implies? Thank you in advance.
Follow procedure in this post till step 7.

Hello here are the new open device bootloader with an seperated recovery partition
and the old bootloader taken from the 18.5.C.0.19 update as FTF files ready to flash with
flashtool.
You can use this if you've accidently flashed the new bootloader over an official Sony ROM
and don't want to loose all your data
D2203:
Open device BL
"Old" 18.5.C.0.19 BL
D2212:
"Old" 18.5.B.0.26 BL
Any way to obtain stock bootloader of 18.5.b.0.26
which country/phone is that?
edit: got it and gonna try it but somebody will have to test it
edit2: please report if it works

Don't use latest Flashtool (0.9.19). Use 0.9.18.6.
hi, first of all, i ve got a D2203 LTE . My bootloader cannot be officially unlocked. If i flash the open devices bootloader, does it mean, i get an unlocked bootloader. If so, what do i do next because i have flashed it and all i get is a black screen. P.S. i am on stock Sony Rom
the new bootloader doesn't work with sony roms,
you have to flash cyanogenmod or aosp.

link for old D2212 bootloader is down, can you re-upload it?
my bootloader is unlock allowed NO(D2203),can i flash this bootloader?
i use 4.4.4 build 18.5.C.0.19
i tryed,black screen
D2212 link update please
No link is working, dev-host links are having issues with downloads and I've lost D2203 open bootloader file
UPDATE:
I've found D2203 new and old BL files in my old laptop, I've reuploaded them to Android File Host.
For D2212 just download stock rom from Xperifirm and flash it to get old BL working.
Link to the folder
These files were originally uploaded by @berni987654321
Is there a way for us to know which partition from /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name is the bootloader?
So to clarify if I have a DD2203 with sony bootloader that is unlock allowed = NO, so its locked I can flash this and have a fully working unlocked bootloader that I can load cyanogenmod with?

Dude connect it in fastboot. Power off phone , insert USB cable while holding volume up.
Hello,
Excuse me for asking such question but I have never Boot Unlocked & Rooted any Sony smartphone so I'm confused here. I have only rooted LG and Samsung before without Unlocking the Boot as it was straight forward process. I have found this tutorial and everything is fine as I have got "Bootloader unlock allowed" in service information which confirms that I can root my Xperia. However when I visit the official website to get my unlock key it says that I need to be on software version 18.3.C.0.37 where my one is 18.6.A.0.175. Do I just use this official website to generate the unlock key and then use the flashtool to do it anyway ? I have use flashtool before but just for flashing the TFT file. Also after I unlock the bootloader how do I install custom recovery mode then install or back up the whole OS ?
If someone would help me I will appreciate your help. :good:
Thank You.
Ok, so right now you don't need to unlock bootloader to root M2 with 5.1.1. (At least not on 2306). Anyway, when you go to official website, they ask for your imei (after selecting your device). And then they give you the unlock code, they tell you how to unlock the BL with such code, with some SDK tools, but i prefer using flashtool since it does the job for me. So, after you open up flashtool, click on the icon that sais "BLU", it will ask you to select your device, you do so. After that it will ask for the unlock code, you put it in and click on unlock. After that it will do a procces, when finished, your BL will be unlocked.
I do gotta tell you, i've unlocked BL for 2 or 3 devices, all of the times everything goes right, exept once. After unlocking BL i ended with a bootloop. So for this case just turn off the phone, and flash any ftf. Bootloader will not re-lock after flashing.

Ok, thanks !
Also why do they say I need a software version 18.3.C.0.37 ? Could it be that their SDK tools require such version where Flashtool works on all of them ? Do you know how I can install custom recovery ? Do I still use CWM Recovery or something new and how can I flash new rom into it ? I have also heard something about emma when flashing rom ?
Thanks a lot for the help, I really appreciate it :good:

Sure no problem, about that i'm not sure, i've never had that android version issue before. For CWM you can get it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-m2/general/d2303-philz-touch-recovery-6-t3047492
Go to where it says "Download recovery" and download latest version (V0.7). Of course you have to be rooted in order to install. After you have root, enable usb debuging on your phone, and enable unkown sources just to be sure. Open the install.bat inside the file you just downloaded and follow the steps.
After you have CWM you can flash roms and other stuff.

I have the same problem. I think you can't install any firmware without the bootloader unlocked.

you can unlock the bootloader on latest version, you don't need to be on 0.37 firmware.

Thanks very much. I also have a Singapore version of the ROM. On the Sony bootloader unlocking page it says "Important note! In order to unlock your Xperia™ M2 you need to be on software version 18.3.C.0.37". I haven't attempted to go ahead with it anyway.
Do you have drivers that work? I can't get any PC nor FlashTool to recognise the M2! (FlashTool doesn't include M2 drivers.) Do you know how I could install the ROM? I want to do so anyway regardless of unlocking the bootloader because I gather the Android 4.4 ROM is faster than the laggy 5.1.1 one currently installed on my M2.

no problem. if i remember correctly the bootloader unlock page was last updated on late 2014 so that note targeted people who used 4.3 jelly bean at the time. you can unlock bootloader on 0.182.
flashtool includes m2 drivers, you need to install Fastboot and Flashmode drivers. also if you are using Windows 8 and above, you need to disable driver signature check (google it). to install stock roms, this device's forum has plenty of guides. do a little research )
also you don't need to unlock your bootloader to install stock and stock based roms (such as Z5 Style, EagleExperience etc.). if you want to install custom roms (Lineage, RR, etc.) you need to unlock bootloader.

Thanks again for the info. I did install Fastboot and Flashmode drivers as per the tutorial on this site I was following, but FlashTool didn't recognise the M2 on Windows XP nor 7 let alone 10 (I have a lot of old PCs!). I'll try a different USB cable.

oh that's unfortunate, i'll install flashtool today and report back to you. maybe recent versions of flashtool broke compatibility with m2 (if so, i'll also upload the version that is compatible with m2)
