I followed this guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/general/guide-rootrecovery-how-to-root-install-t3017056) to root and install recovery without unlocking the bootloader.
Now, my warranty is out either way and I'd like to unlock bootloader to flash the ParanoidAndroid ROM onto my phone.
How do I go about doing this? I'm running Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow.
Thanks in advance!

Hi James,
best place to ask is in the Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting > [HELP THREAD]Ask Any Questions! No Question is Noobish [NOOB FRIENDLY] thread.
There you should get quick and proper answers.
I found something about unlocking the bootloader here:
Unlocking bootloader tablet Z (Guide)
Unlocking bootloader
Usually you have to unlock the bootloader, then flash a custom recovery (CWM or TWRP are the most popular ones), and then you can flash a custom ROM.
But best to ask in the help thread for your device.
Good luck !
Thread closed and thank you.
Happy new year !

xperia l and xperia z2. Both are having the same problem
Hi,
First your z2 you can review this thread, and ask about it here if you wish,
> Sony Xperia Z2 > Xperia Z2 General > ( Discussion ) Bootloader Unlock / DRM Keys
And for the L, read the first post carefully and ask for help here if still needed,
> Sony Xperia L > Xperia L Android Development > [Tutorial][Xperia L] Bootloader Unlocking/Relocking
Good luck!
Already referred to these links but still no luck. I think the error is due to some file named x10flasher in the flash tool. I found this link [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=39338155&postcount=178] of the updated or modified x10flasher.jar in xda developer's page but unfortunately the update file link is broken. Please help me out.
Thanks
You'd do best to ask for help in the threads I linked. The members there are the experts on those devices. ?
