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
Hi all i just bought this mobile and i was curious to know if it was possible to install a custom rom.
I saw that the downgrade is the only solution to root and install custom recovery.
In my case i wish to know which file i have to flash with flashtool.
Thanks all

Yes
Update:
Downgrade --> Done
Root and DualRecovery--> Done
Backup DRM TA --> done
Bootloader Unlock --> Done
I'm trying to flash custom room rebooting in Teamwin recovery the flash goes perfect but after when i reboot the Z3 it goes in boot loop and i can enter only in the recovery the Z3 won't start at all.
I've tryied with 2 custom ROm and the original rom lollipop rooted and patched.
What i do wrong? I just put the custom rom in the Micro-sd card and i flash it using the teamwin recovery (before i wipe cache and Dalvik). Do i have to flash before the boot.img?
Thanks

You are either flashing an incompatible custom ROM or your boot loader is not unlocked.
Flash a stock FTF again, then goto the dialer and dial *#*#7378423#*#* then goto service info, configuration and post here what it says in the rooting status.

Well, neither of those require an unlocked bootloader, but that should not make a difference.
What boot.img are you flashing, both of those ROMs require a stock kernel.

Which procedure i have to follow to flash a custom ROM?
i normally copy the rom zip on the external micro SD card
i go to teamwin recovery i do a wipe and after i do install
The install finish and i click on reboot
DO i have to do other steps to flash the stock kernel?
i didn't flash any boot.img and kernel until now
UPDATE
problem solved i flashed the stock 5.1.1 kernel before to flash the rom and the bootloop disappeared.
Now i'm with the custom Mod there is any possibility to restore the DRM functions with the custom rom?

Well, if you only want to stay on these stock based custom rooms there was no need to unlock the bootloader. You only need that for truly custom rooms like cm or aosp.
If you want these rooms with drm keys then do this.
Restore your T A backup. This will relocate your bootloader
If this results in a boot loop, then flash a stock ftf, and do everything again EXCEPT do not unlock the bootloader this time
Hi,
I installed latest stock rom for 6603, made TA backup then unlocked my bootloader.
How can i install now a recovery to install costum roms?
There is no official twrp, and i didn't find unofficial one, just prerooted rom with recovery. Or thats it? I can install paranoid or other with this?

Or its just for locked bootloader?

Hi
Im trying to install a custom recovery but it seems like i just cant
My bootloader is unlocked and is currently using Cyanogenmod's Recovery
I installed a multirecovery in my locked bootloader on stock frimware and formatted /system and /data. Installed CM 13 and Gapps
and unlocked my bootloader again so that i can use the custom rom.
Any help on installing a custom recovery ???
Never mind people I just installed twrp app and flashed it from there
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!
