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.

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
I'm sick off my Stock ROM so now i want to flash custom lollipop rom.
I have installed required S1 bootloader version which is xx.x.J.2.16 something. From the thread that i downloaded and installed the Firewall .tft file was making me sure that this will turn the Unlock Bootloader Allowed : Yes and i can continues steps on sony's official site to unlock bootloader.
I haved checked and verified that firewall is properly installed but still Unlock Bootloader Allowed is NO

You can root your phone without unlock the bootloader.
You can unlock the bootloader in Any versión (i did in lollipop) you can do it with Sony way or with flashtool
thanks for reply!
can you tell me what is the easiest way to root my M2 with Lollipop? how do you did it?
so the bootloader unlock is only need for flashing Custom-Roms?
Big thanks

The easiest way is in this case NOT the safest way! KingRoot should do the trick on 18.6.A.0.182 FW but it also sends your phones IMEI to a cloud in China. I wouldn't recommend it!
I did it like this:
1. Use XperiFirm to download and FlashTool to create (e.g.) D2303_18.3.1.C.1.17_CE.ftf [4.4.4 Kitkat] (or search on this forum for it)
2. Flash: (e.g.) D2303_18.3.1.C.1.17_CE.ftf with FlashTool
3. Unzip & use: rootkitXperia_20150926-20151005.zip to root
4. Unzip & use: XperiaM2-MultiRecovery-PhilZ-TWRP-CWM-0.8.zip to install multi-recovery
5. Use XperiFirm to download and FlashTool to create 18.6.A.0.182 FW FTF for your D2303, country and provider (or a customized version)
6. Use PRFCreator, UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip and XperiaM2-MultiRecovery-PhilZ-TWRP-CWM-0.8-flashable.zip to create flashable pre-rooted zip with multi-recovery
7. Reboot into TWRP recovery (when the cyan led glows push/press Volume UP)
8. Flash flashable pre-rooted zip with multi-recovery (using TWRP)
9. Flash zip: ric_disabler-flashable.zip in case you don't have full root access (using TWRP)
Before you begin make sure you have downloaded all needed files and made a backup from all your important phone data!
so the bootloader unlock is only need for flashing Custom-Roms?

That is correct. But please read this carefully before you want to unlock the bootloader!
Succes... and don't forget to click on the Thanks! button if you want to thank me.

Application can't open
I install custumisation and app not workimg it not open
Inturnet off anyivirus nothing open
Had i to compile the kernel or anything else? or is there anything complete to download and flash? It confuse me
actually i download the ftf for stock rom and hope to flash it by flashtool. Actually i only want an functional device.
On emma i didn´t login. I copy the customization.ini to the emma folder.
Furthermore it seems emma is an java application and you need an java runtime.

If you have ub, open flashtool and flash nougat ftf excluding system.
Relock the bootloader.
Once its done, open sony app and repair the device.
Unlock the bl to get back the camera.

Not with an unlocked bootloader. You need to relock it and be on a firmware from a region that has the OTA released.

Hello. I've been rooting and flashing roms on phones since 2014.. mainly the devices that are easy to root such as galaxy devices and nexus devices but I am confused with my xperia z3 which i just bought to play around with.
It's on stock android marshmallow 6.0.1 and I want to root it and flash lineage OS and xposed framework..
I dont know if I have to unlock the bootloader etc and what method to root.. I have looked all over the internet but most of the tutorials are a couple of years old and outdated which makes it confusing for me because I dont know what to install and what not to install.
If anyone could refer me to something helpful or tell me what to do that would be very much appriciated. Thanks.
first u need to dial *#*#7378423#*#*
go to service test and check is ther bootloader unlock status : no or yes
IF NO : u cannot install android 7 (N)
IF YES : U CAN UNLOCK THE BOOTLOADER EASILY WITH spflashtools
but if u are on bootloader unlock L : no
u can still root, install twrp, and xposed to your device,
easily find 'xperia z3 root noob' on google
open the link from XDA
follow the instruction
what i did is:
downgrade it to 4.4.4
then root reflash .291 (MM firmware) prerooted from xda too
that'all
How to do that sir ??
Here also a MM VERSION stock
Want to root a Z3 D6653
Can you help me how ?
Tnx
I have two questions too:
1) can I install an Android 6.0 rom without unlock the bootloader? I don't want to lose my DRM
2) If I want to change the recoery, do I need to unlock the bootloader? Can I install a different rom with the stock bootloader?

There is no other recovery than TWRP (not true on Android 4 and 5 since CWM also exists, but TWRP is still the best!)

Different ROM as in "stock ROM pre-rooted that has some apps replaced" ? Yes
But _not_ "ROM with different kernel compiled by some user", for that you need an UNlocked bootloader... see posts above
