[Q] Flash CWM w/o rooting / bootloader unlocking?

Is there any way to flash CWM (or TWRP or whatever..) to the XPERIA Z without first getting root permissions or unlocking of bootloader?

Bootloader unlock isn't necessary, but root is mandatory

Fix the phone with flashtool? Means flash the firmware ftf file?

Yes this is i think the best to do now.
But do it if you are sure.
It can maybe brick you device

Use flashtool, it won't brick your device if you don't do it on purpose. He has a boot loop on the animation so he is not hard bricked. If he can access flash mode then he can restore his device. He just needs to flash the ftf that is for his device
Never update your unlocked boot loader phone with PC companion and over the air as it will brick your device. Flash new Sony updates using flashtool

With the official flashtool they want to prupose update for unlocked.
It still on beta but sound promising

Flashing an official ftf for your phone via flashtool cannot brick your device

Hi,
I have Sony Xperia t2 ultra dual D5322 with android 5.1.
Once I unlock the bootloader,
If I flash stock rom (ftf)via flash tool,whether my bootloader still in unlocked mode or in locked mode??
if it's in unlock mode, installing the custom recovery and flashing superSU package will lead BOOTLOOP or not
I am asking you only because I install the TWRP and update superSU in locked mode.which results in system hang on bootlogo.
Is custom recovery can change the file system permission from readonly to readwrite if yes how??
Please answer me,
thank you.

You cannot relock bootlader on custom kernels. Stock Only.

The only way is, after Relock Bootlader, root your phone on Locked Bootlader and install recovery and then when you are on Locked Bootlader with Recovery you will use the Recovery to backup what you need.

Your bootloader is locked? If yes, you must unlock it in order to install TWRP via installer.
But, if you want a recovery and bootloader locked, the only solution is to install XZ DUAL Recovery

Bootloop after unlocking bootloader

Hello
Yesterday I've rooted my phone and then I wanted to install a custom rom (CarbonRom).
I've read that I have to unlock the bootloader for installing a custom rom. I did this with the flashtool.
After that my phone stuck in bootloop.
I have restored my phone with twrp recovery and it works now. But I still have a locked bootloader.
I have read that I have to install a stock rom to prevent a bootloop. I only rooted my device so my phone still should have the stock rom on it.
Does anyone know how to unlock the bootloader properly?
Thanks in advance
