[Q] need help on unlocking my st15i pls help ( tried all tutorials)

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

Hello everyone,
My phone got OTA Lolipop 5..0.2 update some time ago and i was looking for a guide how to flash custom recovery and root the phone but there are so many different topics and different versions and so on .. could someone provide me with correct link?
I want to root my phone so as i understand i need to unlock my bootloader (already did it), then flash custom recovery and superSU.
Is there any working guide for Lolipop stock ROM? What recovery, superSU ver. should i flash and where should i get them? Thanks.

Because you're not following the directions 100% you're supposed to flash a supported twrp for your model and then boot into twrp and flash a kernel that the sick as hell Rom supports and then flash the actual Rom itself all while in twrp! Read more before destroying your phone!

[D6603] [Android 6.0.1] Recent root only method without unlocking BL ?

Hi Folks,
Is there a root only method for Build 23.5.A.1.291? I don't want to install Custom ROMs. I just need root access to Stock Rom.
Unlocking BL will wipe TA Partition - thats bad, because I need to keep TA.

There is or was one posted here on xda, it involved flashing an older MM kernel, flashing a recovery, installing root zip and then flashing the new kernel back. Am surprised it is not pinned here.
