[Q] [XPERIA E] Install CWM with locked Bootloader

Hi all!
I have a rooted(using framaroot) XPERIA E(C1505) phone, with locked bootloader(bl unlock allowed:no). I've been searching on xda for 2 days, I found a lot of install guides for other types, but i cant find the solution for installing CWM to my phone.
So i'd like to ask is there any method to install CWM with locked bootloader, or it's impossible now?
And if it's impossible, can i install Custom ROM without CWM? How?
Thank you for replying

No sorry mate, your going to have to have an unlocked bootloader or wait for the developers to come out with CWM for locked bootloaders, hardly likely for our phone, Maybe in a year or so since the Xperia E came out this year!

No chance bro. The only thing you can do without cwm, is install some mods (themes, toggles etc), i mean all the stuff you can just copy in system/app.
If you want to install a custom rom you will need to unlock your bootloader and use a kernel with integrated cwm.

Then you didn't install cwm mate. You rooted your phone and unlocked your bootloader, right?
Are you using a custom kernel?
Please describe me the entire procedure you did with the links of the mods you used.

Here is the link for cwm for E http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2276943
Flash it via flashtool with unlocked bootloader.
Thank me if I helped you.

Yes, it is possible!!
Hi men, I think it is possible with flashtool. You can check in xperiafirmware dot com (sorry, they don't let me set any website)
Best regards,

The question was raised because of the locked bootloader...
Does any know a suitable method for Xpheria E ,locked bootloader,to run Custom roms?

What are you guys talking about? Unlocking bootloaders, CWM in general or CWM for locked bootloaders in particular?
I think somebody said CWM for locked bootloader wasn't possible for the E cause there was no available exploit.

[GUIDE] Root for KitKat - D2303, D2305 ||unlocked bootloader

Because there are still people asking how to root kitkat I hope this thread will be enough this time.
0. (optional) Make backup of DRM keys, TA partition using stock JB.
1. Unlock your bootloader.
2. Download CWM kernel for your device/KK version - http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...2303-cwm-based-recovery-6-0-4-6-root-t2884503
3. Flash kernel using fastboot or flashtool. (yes, flash)
4. Boot to recovery and flash SuperSu. Can be downloaded from this site.
5. Done, reboot your device.
Nothing more.
Sony RIC is disabled by default.
Additional info:
Flashing via fastboot:
open terminal in directory where the kernel is downloaded. You can rename boot_kk.img to boot.img
Connect M2 in fastboot mode (blue LED)
type:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Disconnect device and boot.

working on my D2306 with 18.3.c.0.37
so far so sooooo good. i just rooted my xperia mexican version with the one for d2303, i am on the Brazilian kitkat ftf. i haven't seen any problem since i installed it. already running some xposed mods no crash and no random reboots. same procedure as in the first post.!! so ill suggest if you guy want to add the device for the working ones.
so by the way tank you very much.!! no this phone is much better
any questions feel free to ask and dont forget to tank the guy who posted this root option

Great job. CWM has the letters a little big but it works very good.
Now the only thing for making this cell more useful would be to swap memory from internal to external.
Thank you again

Could you please make this root available for the Xperia M2 D2306 as well? Or is the D2303 and the D2306 the same?

It worked! Thank you

I did root with 4.4.2 locked bootloader doing this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-m2/help/kitkat-root-locked-bootloader-t2927377

It works, thank you very much

Can anyone confirm of this works with M2 Aqua D2403? Thanks!

There are better phones out there than the C, and also a lack of people who are able/willing to create and maintain a rom.

Xperia C 2305 doesn't support unlocking the bootloader and so it's pointless to make a custom ROM for the device as it wouldn't work.
That's why only themed ROMs would work on your device for now.
Frankly, since Android update policy of the device has expired, and it wouldn't get any updates possibly so..... It would never be possible. Unlock the bootloader and so.... . That's just that....

Rooting Xperia Z3 (6.0.1) w/ Locked Bootloader?

Hello, xda!
I have a Sony Xperia Z3 D6603 which has a locked bootloader and I can't unlock it. It has a newest Android (6.0.1) Marshmallow update, build 23.5.A.1.291. I really wanted to install a Custom ROM, but because I can't, I have thought of Xposed Framework. But I can't find any way to root the phone and install the recovery.
So, is there any way to root this phone?
Thank you in advance
P.S. I would appreciate if those steps can be done in Linux

Thanks for the link! I'll try that and share the results

Hi mate. Did you manage to root your Z3? Ive got a 6603 as well with the same build and want to go to Oreo. I got this phone as a replacement and cant restore my photos as the os is an older version.

Hi!
Unfortunatly, I never managed to root the phone because it broke before I even tried!
But why you can't transfer photos? Maybe I can help with that.

Help getting back to android 10

Hi guys.
New to this forum.
Been searching through the threads but really struggling to work this out.
I bought this phone because it was great for COD mobile. Worked perfectly with my dualshock 4 controller now after the latest 11 update the buttons are messed up. Figured Sony would have fixed this considering they sell the phone with advertising specifically for this gane, oh and they make the controller as well! Madness!
Anyway I've tried using newflasher to get back to the last 10 update but with no luck. Presumably because of the rollback protection in 11. I did manage it once but that was on the first update this new one just won't do it.
Is there anyway of maybe wiping the OS and flashing a new clean install of android 10?
Worried about rooting because I don't really want to lose my warranty or any features (or screw the phone up) Don't think it's possible without doing that but would be grateful for any advice anyone can offer!
Thanks

Hey I go back from 11 to 10 with this rom:
Sony Xperia 5 II | XperiaFirmware.com
xperiafirmware.com
I have used newflasher and IT worked.

I tried quite a few times but it wouldnt go back for some reason. It did work from the first A11 update but once you update to the latest one you cant go back at all.
Luckily it looks like they've worked the problem out between themselves and controller now works with COD and better than before!

Oh OK. That is a big Problem. I used IT with the first android 11 Update...

You made my day! Yesterday I bought this nice piece of Hardware and spent around 12 hours (reading almost all tutorials in the whole internet) to install Magisk on a XQ52-AS52 58.1.A.5.330 (Android 11). No chance at all.
After downgrading to 58.0.A.28.51 it works very well. Thank you a lot!

Will the firmware on the link work on a XQ-AS62? I have been looking to downgrade from Android 12 to Android 10. Thanks!
