How kan i install recovery or cwm with bootloader locked.
My statu for unlocked bootloader is : no
Do You have one way to install this please

I don't think there is currently a way to do that. If you were to flash an unbranded firmware onto the phone would that allow you to unlock the bootloader (allowing installation of CWM)? I can't unlock my bootloader due to my PC being broken.

I'm waiting for a solution as well. it should not be that hard as they have a solution for the xperia s with a locked bootloader.
maybe some very wise and helpful dev can port cwm for us xperia t owners with locked bootloaders.

Flashing unbranded firmware will not allow you to unlock the bootloader if you currently cannot unlock it.
Well, no promises of any kind, but there is that one user which claims that after updating to 3.195 the bootloader status changed from non-unlockable to unlockable.
I have to stress out, I cannot confirm nor explain this and I do not propose that anybody tries this.
But we all know where this is going, right...? Sic...

Its safe to try, as long as you have a .ftf made from your original rom or are prepared to flash one the .303 .ftf's found in the all in one thread
I've flash one week later the 3.195 and my statue dont change.

For people with the lock bootloader cant you unlock it through the official Sony site? i thought Sony allows you to unlock bootloaders on their devices...

Sony does, but some carriers (Especially AT&T) block it.

You can ask, but I bet they say no.
up to date, any method to unlock it?
Seriously?
I also have this problem, the boot loader is locked and I need to install the recovery. Prompt really working bootloader unlock method, none of the methods I did not ride. Through the website Sony have an error occurs, full of requests to install the update file, it weighs 1.5 gigabytes. I do not have as much Internet traffic to download it.
Currenty is possible if you are both rooted and in FW 303. Try this.
Hi there.
After i unlocked* the bootloader of my phone i got stuck in a bootloop, then i had to flash the TFT all over again...
The problem is that i don't know if the phone is already with bootloader unlocked or not...
how can i check it?
I was thinking on trying to do the unlock steps again, but i'm scared of being trapped on another bootloop...
Is there a way to check if the bootloader is already unlocked?
PS: The bootloader unlock allowed is yes.
thanks you guys.
Flash doom kernel via fastboot with this command:
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
If you get an error than your bootloader is not unlocked.
You can flash back to stock kernel with flashtool,flash the kernel separately.

but if i got that error and confirm that the bootloader is locked, is there any chance to harm the phone? or need to flash the TFT again, etc etc
use flashtool to tell you
Another more easy approach .
When bootloader unlock allowed says yes and be2 is working in Album, then it is still locked and you can start the unlock steps again.
How can i use flashtool to tell me?
@DevShaft
Before i could see in a flash the bravia engine working on pictures. There was a little delay... Now i can't see it.
Probably the bootloader is unlock.
If i try to install Doom's kernel via recovery and the bootloader is LOCKED, can it do any harm? thanks guys

I'll wait the new firmware or android 4.2 to see it.

I unlocked my Xperia Z and in Service Mode I can see 'Bootloader unlocked: Yes'.
Now my phone is running on latest C6603 firmware and DooM Kernel.
To my surprise, BE2 still works! Music info download still works! TrackID still works!:victory:
But not picture enhancement in album right? Hope you backed up TA partition before unlocking

im surprised at how this 'check bootloader is unlocked already or not' thread is confusing.
by the previous post, there is two 2 ways
1. try to flash doomlords kernel via fastboot, and if it doesnt flash means its NOT unlocked.
2. flashtool.
however the 2. flashtool method is very vague.. dont think anyone elaborated it.
So my same query is that if some error occurs after trying to unlock bootloader, and have reverted back to the stock FTF rom in original working state.
How do one check to see if my bootloader is unlocked or not?
whats the best easiest method???
Thank you!
just type in *#*#7378423#*#*
Go to Service Info > Configuration
And check the Rooting Status
If its Bootloader unlock allowed:Yes/No, then its not unlocked.
And if its Bootloader unlocked:Yes, then its unlocked.
Thanks

That just tells you weather you can unlock your bootloader via the command / flashtool e.g. If you carrier has locked your phone
On a unlocked bootloader the BE2 engine still works on videos ect just not pictures.
All I would do Is flash doom kernel or advanced stock kernel via flashtool (Click on lightning bolt /fast boot / click on put device in fastboot via adb now phone will enter fastboot then select kernel to flash which is in the middle on the pop up screen and then flash if it will take around 0 . 5 seconds ) if it fails then you bootloader is locked due to it cannot complete the command if is successful then it's unlocked and you can flash custom kernels take about 2 mins to do all in all

unblock SM-G350E bootloader
Can any one tell me how to unlock bootloader for SM-G350E
hi,all,im trying to unlock BL by flashtool beta6,but its say No loader found for this device
OS;4.2.2 ,423,HK
It says underneath it "cannot be officially unlocked"
So my guess is your bootloader is permanently locked. Type *#*#service#*#* and go to service info then configuration. It should say "bootloader unlock allowed:" yes if you are able to unlock it.

Use Google. A simple query like "how to unlock xperia z bootloader" would probably do it. But since that is such a far-fetched idea I understand how it could have slipped your mind...

Either try the latest flashtool and do it again or search for doomlord's post on how to unlock bootloader.
But before trying, I would highly recommend backing up your TA.img

Why are you using Flashtools Beta 6? That version has been superseded by the latest release on the flashtool site....
Go read Doomlord's post on unlocking the boot loader (which is the official Sony method)- you can do it quick and easy with fastboot......
As has already been said....read the post in Original Development about backing up your TA (DRM & BE) partition BEFORE you unlock your bootloader.

Well.I just got a used.Sony z
I.rooted. Via.one click. And installed twrp with the apk.
My question is can we flash roms without no issues even with a lock bootloader on this device seeing as I opted out to flash recovery with the locked bootloader and if that's not the case how do I find out if my bootloader is unlockable version

If you are locked, you just need to flash roms flashable zips via recovery. Look for "LB", which stands for Locked Bootloader, threads under the Development section, and you'll find compatible software with your unlocked device.
If your device is from a carrier, chances are you are locked with no way to unlock. If your device number is C6606, you are not able to unlock, no matter what.

But I just wanted to verify if I'm boot loader Locked.
Just needed to..verify if I'm.locked can I still flash Roms via twrp.

If your bootloader is locked and you can't unlock it you can still flash roms but only those bases on stock. The problem with the locked bootloader is that you can't install a kernel that isn't signed by Sony. So no CyanogenMod and derivatives.

Are you using the latest version of the flashtool?
How are you checking that the bootloader is unlocked? Remember that there is a difference between "unlocked" and "unlockable". See here.

You didn't answer all of my questions.
If you re-lock without the TA partition, you will lose some of the Sony features. If you never backed it up, you can never get it back.

What version of flashtool. "Latest" is only relative. 0.9.19.6 just came out a day or two ago.
Post the entire flashtool log. Maybe something will show why this does not work for you.
