Hello guys i want to install a custom rom on my sony m2 aqua, so i will need some help about the steps i need to perform.
First i am on android 5.1.1 Lollipop ( Sony's stock firmware 18.6.A.0.182, Linux version 3.4.0-gc82e70f). What should i do first unlock bootloader or root the device and flash recovery after this or first i root then unlock bootloader and install recovery ?
Is it in this order:
1. Unlock bootloader
2. Root
3. Flash recovery
4. Flash ROM
Any other steps i need to in order to do the job ? And which method do you prefer for unlocking bootloader,rooting... Thanks.
For some roms you dont need unlocked bootloader (LB- sign on forum) you need costum recovery and root to flash costum rom. For unlocking bootloader check http://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/unlock-yourboot-loader/ read carefuly, Its not recomended for everyone. For instaling costum roms check rom section in XDA-forums.

Hey XDA
I will get a xperia l from my bro tomorrow and want to Root and Flash CM12 lollipop then
But before that i got some questions about the bootloader, because i rooted and flashed just for one time a Samsung Galaxy ace 3.
1. have i to Root the phone before unlocking bootloader or after that? (Wanna use RootGenius)
2. do i need a new recovery like Cwm or can i flash the new Rom zip with the unlocked bootloader?
3. if unlocking dont work: someone got a link for flashing cwm using odin?
Thanks a lot!

Did you flash the specific recovery for your firmware?
Eg. If you are on .93 firmware, you need to flash the custom recovery for .93

Sorry to tell you that I don't know where you can download a suitable custom recovery for your ROM.
I searched for you but only found the one for .74 rom.
Or just flash a stock kernel of your rom via flashtool after you had rooted.

Look in the [NUT] Dual recovery thread in the cross device development section.
You do not need a certain recovery for each firmware version, just for each device.
Root, install recovery for Z3 and done
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
