Hello,
Am I able to install ROMs that are stock based if I do not have unlocked bootloader?
I am specifically talking about this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2180208
Thanks!
I don't think so,maybe later the dev will release a version for locked bootloader.

Okay thanks for the quick answer.
I just got confused because I checked this thread about ROMs
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2171958
And on the first 3 it specifically mentioned [Unlocked Bootloader] and the 4th did not say that, so I figured I might be lucky^^
Since there isn't a CWM recovery for locked bootloaders yet there is no way to flash ROMs with a locked bootloader. Once there is it will just be a case of flashing the ROM and then the stock Sony kernel.

I've been searching around, but can't seem to find a straight answer on all ROM's. Which ROM's are usable with a locked boot loader? Thanks in advance.
Edit - Done some more reading... Can I do anything with a locked boot-loader really? Or am I forever limited to 4.1.2 based ROMs?
Take a proper look in the Android development forum dude!
There are loads of ROMs you can flash on a locked bootloader. Generally the ROM will say LB/UB and must be a modified stock ROM.
The only ROMs you can't flash are cyanogenmod/Aokp /aosp based ROMs.
Or upgrade to 4.2.2. with a stock tft via flash tool.

Thanks so much, sorry im new to sony bootloaders. So if I upgrade to 4.2.2 I can flash cyanogenmod/aosp Roms? I really want to use parandroid... Or is that impossible as of currently? Also, will the boot loader eventually get unlocked? I'll probably end up returning this phone if its not possible for a long time. Again thanks.

Do not flash paranoid on your phone with a locked bootloader , you will brick your phone.

Alright I see. Thanks. Hopefully there will be an unofficial bootloader unlock for this phone eventually.

Use Doomlord's Easy Rooting Toolkit to root, and then, yes, you can install CWM.

Just use the generic CMW recovery

First question, have you unlocked your bootloader. If not, there is not much that you are going to be able to do.
Now assuming that the former is true. By far the easiest method is to google "Install_CM_for_mint" and follow the instructions for getting boot.img on your system and rebooting. At that point you will have the latest released generic CMW recovery installed (6.0.3.6)
You do not need to unlock the boot loader to install recovery. You do not need a custom kernel to install recovery.
Please read post 2 of the all in one thread to find out how to install recovery on a locked bootloader

For the root and the recovery we do not need unlocked bootloader, my question is if those of the two guides posted at the beginning work for the version of firmware that I have.
Yes, both threads day they support the Xperia T in their OPs

I just want to know the ratio of users whose Xperia SP has a locked bootloader.
The question is quite simple, so leave your answer!

Hi All,
I'm new to Xda developers forums, pardon me asking. I did was follow the SlapMyMoto/RockMyMoto thread and had sucessful rooting on stock kit kat at&t. I searched the threads for custom recovery for 4.4 since safestrap is not supported on 4.4.
Any one know which custom recovery works with, device is not unlocked bootloader.
Thanks in advanced!
No unlocked bootloader, no custom recovery.
I'm using safestrap fine on 4.4, but I'm still on a 4.2 bootloader.

Hey all,
I have searched and didn't find any obvious thread that discussed kernels for our device. I'm on the stock rooted 4.4.2 leak. Are there any kernels out there that might work for our device?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using XDA Free mobile app
No. The bootloader is locked on this phone so you cannot use custom kernels or AOSP ROMs. You're stuck with the stock kernel until the bootloader is unlocked, which will never happen.
