yes your phone got bricked u have to flash new software on it not by recovery but with flashtool u flash the original software and ur phone would be fine and if u want to unlock bootloader with out brick on the official way make sure u have typed the IMEI right because most of bricked phone because of the wrong unlocking operation.... or u can easliy try to relock ur bootloader
and by the way ur bootloader isn't unlocked but it's status will be unknown for ur device u have to relock ur bootloader and unlock again but make sure that you have typed IMEI code right in your flashtool
Problem Solved! Thank You!

Try flashmode method
First turn off your device then press volume down and connect usb your device will be detected as flash mode in flash tool then click unlock ? bootloader button ? and your bootloader will be unlocked ? then remove usb power on your device and then turn off again and press volume up and connect usb then in flash tool you will see device is connected as fastboot now. Try flashing your device. If it works then enjoy your unlocked ? device.

This does not work, the bootloader button does not make any changes
Unlocking bootloader doesn't mean rooting.
After you unlock bootloader, you can flash kernel with SU in ramdisk and root.
For now, there isn't any method for locked bootloader.
Btw has anybody tried this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
It worked fine on my 2011 (ehm) device, maybe works here too.

Is anyone still working on this issue?

So if what I understood from that post is correct, I can flash a custom ROM but not a custom kernel.
Anybody knows a pre-rooted ROM for D2203?

i read about 5 pages and understood that your bootloader can,t be unlocked with custom bootloader it can be unlocked with doing something ta partition and ta partition can brick your device. so only touch ta if you know enough about them.(reading those forms gave me headache because deep system and codes that i don,t understand just that,s why i only read 5 pages i don,t know if thare is any more any good information)

All new device from Sony, can be rooted without unlocking the bootloader!!. We can not unlock the bootloader, we need a program that has xperia M2, and other devices. I can not believe that this is such a big problem!!

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.
so, I've rooted with kingroot and installed dual recovery, then downloaded cm 12
on philz, I used that "prepare for new rom"
and went I went to flash the zip...... it was corrupted.
and so, I downloaded the zip on my pc and tried to flash it with sideload, it didn't work.
so I thought that philz sideload wasn't working and tried to boot on twrp
but, when I turned the phone on again, I couldn't get into recovery.
I can get into flash mode just fine.
pls help :^(
also, I can't get it to show on fastboot devices :^(
If u want to use Cyanogenmod, then u have to unlock the bootloader or else u will get a softbrick, anyway u can recover your phone with flashtool or with pc companion, after re-install firmware then unlock bootloader but as you know, u will loose drm keys (bionz etc), for working Cyanogenmod u need a custom kernel aswell so unlocked bootloader is indeed
