Is there trying to make a custom rom for the device
Problem is that the bootloader is locked, therefore it is not possible to flash another ROM.

Bootloader isnt a problem, there are phones with locked bootloader and custom roms, for example Xperia Z2. Locked bootloader is a problem when u want to make custom kernel.
We just dont have developers to make a custom rom, its sad that g flex is not a popular device, even LG dont care about it anymore.

I have Xperia J (ST26i). It's bootloader cannot be unlocked.
Is it possible to flash a ROM for Paranoid Android 3. I used PA 2 on my ZTE Blade and it was great.
Any ideas?
As an aside, does the locked bootloader really restict the flashing of ROMs?

most, if not all custom ROMs on this subforum are based on CM and use CM's kernel, and therefore it's ramdisk.So it's not possible.

I have a question regarding this. I'm not sure if I understood correctly but since we have a locked bootloader we cannot flash Kernels.
But if we find a ROM that doesn't need a custom Kernel to be flashed, can we do that?
And are there any Roms( besides the stock ones) that can be flashed without also flashing custom kernels?

If a ROM is based on stock, then it doesn't need a kernel to be flashed.
There are ROMs that don't require flashing kernels in order to work, there has been reports of CM9 and MIUI both on locked bootloaders, but just not for our devices.
Looked around a bit and found out its virtually impossible to unlock the boot loader if you are Carrier Locked so now my question is can someone help me installing CWM on Xperia J Locked bootloader (ICS 4.04 / Firmeware 11.0.A.7.5). This is because whilst browsing the web I also found its possible to flash ROMs that are based on stock ROMs which is the only reason I rooted in the first place!
Thanks in Advance,

Hmm, i think you can't because your bootloader is locked. :silly:
so how am i meant to flash a rom? My phones well slow
Found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-j-e/development/tipo-clockworkmod-t2003069/ Would it work or what?
And if so how do I make sure a ROM is compatible with this CWM
Can someone post the download link for the xperia j Znxt Rom ive looked through the first few pages but cant find it?

I recommend you to flash AlienRom. Its compatible with locked bootloader. Just follow the instruction how to install it. Also the rom doesnt have custom kernel inside, so just flash the stock kernel after you install the rom.

Is it worth to unlock bootloader?
I consider unlocking bootloader, cuz i would like to flash Cyanogenmod. Is it better than Roms based on sony's stock kernel?

I still haven`t unlocked the BL, and I don`t plan to do so anytime sooner. I flashed probably a milion phones till this day and each and every time I go back to stock. In my opinion flashing custom roms is only good for older phones, such as my girlfriend`s galaxy s1 ( yes, you read it, s1 . Custom roms breathe new life to such phones. Our z3 already has an amazing stock 5.1.1 rom and it will get the next version of android aswell, so I don`t see any need to flash cm or any other custom rom.

Listen to @Brontok please, I unlocked the bootloader of my old Xperia TX because it was old and in its last months but I wouldn't have done it if it weren't for that reason, to start the camera quality diminished considerably and the Sony features are gone... I suggest you not to, at least not for now.
no it's not, i did in my z2 and it was worse so i sold it and i bought a z3 and with lb is much better
Depends on you
If you wanna unlock ur bl it ur choice. But dont forget to take a full ta backup and storing it somewhere in the cloud if u wanna restore later. I am not the custom roms kinda guy, i prefer stock. I use a stock based rom. If u r gonna unlock the bootloader u gotta sacrifice the camera quality and other sony functions(can be restored later using backed up ta). Do some research before you unlock the bl. And good luck:good::angel:
I did it the moment I got my device. I don't care for all the functions and such of a stock ROM. Vanilla or bust in my opinion.
I was thinking of buying a Xperia Z3 unlocked on eBay (D6616) for the 32GB storage. But since I don't want the T-mobile bloat it comes with, I was wondering If I could flash the D6603 firmware on the D6616 and get OTA.
Now, I only need 3G to work since I don't use LTE at all. Will flashing a firmware from a different model birck/break the device in any way.
I also would be interested in doing this
I experimented with this a bit using mine. I accidentally flashed a D6603 firmware(5.1 or some such) and it did not work, resulted in a soft brick that was recovered very quickly and easily. I also experimented with cyanogenmod 12, 13(non official), and ZyxxOS.
It may have been my issue, but cyanogen had issues with the sim card not being detected, and ZyxxOS completely corrupted my phone. You would have better luck rooting and uninstalling bloat, but the other official D6603 firmwares shouldn't break your phone irreparably, but I don't think any of them work.
Anyone willing to do more testing with this, trying different D6603 ROMs? How about the new official Marshmallow D6603 ROM? That would be awesome if we could get it installed on our D6616. Please help!

Don't ask others to flash stuff if you wont do it yourself, kinda mean
I wonder if this bootloader unlock is legit and works? D6616 is mentioned: http://xperia-z3-root.blogspot.com/
