As its not possible (yet) to unlock all boot loader. Is there any possibility to flash custom ROMs using flashtool and ftf files instead of the recovery method? Just wondered cos I have a locked boot loader and really want cm10 on my lovely new phone!!

I rooted my Xperia TL and just dl nova launcher prime so you get all the TL goodies and the AOSP ui

But that still does not give you a new rom. A new rom is completely different to just changing the UI, thats just theming.

I rember using this on the x10 and i think it allowed to use custom roms on locked bootloaders? if we modified the files to work with jb and stuff would this work?

You can flash CM ROMs on locked bootloader It just won't boot (incompatible kernel)
what you need is kernels for locked bl

This does sound like a great idea. Hadn't heard of kexec before but have been reading up and a lot of locked devices have gotten custom kernels/ROMS this way. Most significantly I think is hashcode is working on this for the RAZR-HD which has the same SoC as our devices. But we'd need someone like DooMLorD to tell us if this is even remotely possible.

Possible... I plan to work on it if I get free time... I have already uploaded sources of splboot on my github...
Sent from my C6602 using xda app-developers app
I saw them
Miniloader was a hacked light version of the same loader that flashtool uses only for x10.
Kexec should in theory work even with locked BL.

@Mod should this be moved to general? Since its not really a question anymore??

Usually a carrier locked xperia has a permanent locked bootloader. Don't be surprised if you can't unlock it.
Just a heads up before you do too much research.
thanks guys!

It is an issue if you want those highly customisable roms such as cm,pac etc. I rather lose be2 than not having the chance to flash those. But now there's a way to save your ta before unlocking bootloader so it's all good for those who want to unlock bootloader and still keep be2 for future use.

I understand but CM is always broken and has bugs on every phone. I don't even know why the roms from CM are so loved. It is most of the time a bug fest. Lol

Yeah honestly I always prefer stock roms so not to loose all good functions for example on my HTC one all I run is vipor Rom which is sense based otherwise I'd loose zoe,ir blaster and every other thing that makes the one what it is

Yeah viper rom was always great in htc phones. I know not it since htc sensation. CM always seemed broken. Always something isn't working what works on other roms. I always wondered why CM always seems to have issues with things.

So my bootloader is unlocked and my device rooted, trouble is every recovery I flash doesn't want to boot. I'm on the three branded 257 firmware, is there anything I can use or do I need to upgrade to a newer one?

Hello all. I am wonder if i port CM11 to our XZ1 with Stock Sony Kernal. Would it still work or not boot up at all. I am trying to see if i can help somepeople with LB. As i can not unlock mine
Thanks
-JPH ~Connor~
You can try to flash CM11 excluding Kernel, leave Stock kernel intact, or flash CM11 excluding kernel and then flash Stock kernel from flashtool, and see if it boot up, but I doubt.
If it not, In this scenario, as you didn't flash custom kernel, just reflash stock Rom and you are fine again and you phone should boot.
It will not work

Its based on the kernel, which you cannot flash with a locked bootloader

Yes, the bootloader will not boot an unsigned kernel.

To early for this... I have nothing build in from miui yet...
I have to do a Port First... This is only the Base for now but I think i change the Base to Sony Stock so we can maybe Flash Miui on Locked Bootloader :fingers-crossed:

Just wait for it. For now, you can use the miui launcher if you're not already using it.
The only downside I have too many apps xD
