Is your bootloader unlocked? You need an unlocked bootloader to flash a non-stock based custom roms. Since you can connect it to flashmode, download flash tools and flash back a stock rom. You can unlock your bootloader if you want flash flash a custom ROM.

First of all, if you want to unlock your phone, check the date of manufacturing first! It is well documented here plenty of examples of newer phone brick when unlocking bootloader, so better be careful!
Secondly, if you ran into problem, you need to re-lock your phone using flash tool. Then re-unlock again! I previously lost my phone GSM radio when unlocking bootloader (while on GingerExperia). I have to flash into stock ROM (it's a must) using flash tool, and relocked again.
Finally, it is safest to unlock bootloader in stock rom.

No, you don't need to unlock it again. BL is the flash partition of the phone, what contains a secret code. When you unlock the BL, you'll remove the code and the flash partition will be open. When you flash a new ROM, it changes the system partition. When you flash a new kernel, it changes the flash partition but nothing else. So you'll not need to unlock BL again.

Is it possible to flash rom without unlock

Hello,
Is it possible to flash rom without unlock?
I think I saw it somewhere that you can flash recover temporary without unlock, then maybe flash a rom in the temporary recovery?
Hi,
No you can't. You must unlock the bootloader, flash a recovery, root your phone and then you can flash ROMs
No, it is not possible. To boot or flash a custom recovery you need to be unlocked.

[Q] Rooting 4.3 Problem

Hey guys i know there is probably an answer in here somewhere but ihave looked everywhere and tried all possible options to get this working. After my pc companion nagging at me to upgrade i bit the bullet and upgraded to JB 4.3 10.4.B.0.569
Afterwards i then found out that it had relocked bootloader and unrooted my phone..
So i went through the sony normal way of unlocked bootloader first of all... this is where i've hit a snag.. first time the Command promp told me it had failed then itried again with my KEY and it said DONE.... now my phone was stuck in a terrifying bootloop. So i then flashed 4.3 firmware using flashtools, and repaired my phone through sony center.... again.. tried to unlock bootloader and was stuck in boot loop. I have re flashed about 4 times and tried to unlock 4 times... still getting boot loops....
Any one care to shed some light on this?
Many thanks
Chris
Bootloader
Is bootloader unlock allowed?
Have you tried relocking it again using flashtool?

Hey
I was playing around with 4.3 all last night and managed to get root on my Z with locked BL,
Here is how I did it..
(Locked bootloader, skip unlocking if already unlocked)
- Flash the .67 firmware via flashtool
- Root 4.2 as you would have
- Unlock your bootloader and Backup the TA partition to relock this without losing any DRM keys
- Using flashtool flash the new firmware .569 (4.3)
- Then flash Doomlords advanced stock kernel
- Boot 4.3 and power down
- Using the recover installed with the kernel flash a superSU.zip from somewhere around here.
- Reboot and you now should have root
[Locked bl]
- Reflash ONLY just .569 kernel from the FTF
- Power on and Restore your TA partition to relock your boot loader and return everything back to normal..but with some root
As for your bootloader not unlocking properly i would first check to see if an unlock is allowed
when i try to flash 4.2 67 firmware..i just got bootloop..please someone help me..what have i done wrong..i still in LB..
Wipe data when flashing.

Just unlock your bootloader through Flashtool when on newest firmware, flash advanced stock kernel, root,flash back stock kernel and re-lock your bootloader. should be working for you, and it wont take that much time :good::good:

If the warranty and features such as Bravia Engine 2 are important to anyone, please don't just follow this. Your DRM keys that allow BE2 to work and your warranty will be permanently lost.
Follow the earlier post in this thread and downgrade, root and backup your TA partition BEFORE unlocking the bootloader.

rooted now what is the next step

now im downloading kitkat 4.4.4 to flash and then i will root with the new tool ,, i need to what is the next step to flash recovery and custom firmware and mods
i read about dual recovery , fastboot ,flashtool , boot loader , unlock boot loader but i dont understantd so if anyone can help me in this !!
If you root with the newtool it will install recovery as well.
Dual recovery is just a recovery package that gives you the option of 3 recoveries
You do not need to unlock the bootloader to get recovery, but you do if you want to flash a custom kernel.
i rooted now using the new tool from this topic and nw i have recovery .. can i flash custom roms ?

From the development section yes.
If you want to flash custom roms from the original development section you need to unlock the bootloader

yes you can flash custom rom base on sony stock, not AOSP (CM, PA, AOKP...)
i didnt get it !! what is the difference ? and how to unlock boot and is it dangerous ?
The difference is the kernel. Locked bootloaders will not boot on a custom kernel. In order to unlock your bootloader just Google "Sony unlock bootloader "

root stock lolli, will this method work?

hi guys just want to ask if my idea in rooting the stock lolli will work.
here's what inside my mind.
1. download stock ftf and flash
2. use kernel by venkat "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60564323&postcount=2" and flash via fastboot
3. go to recovery after flashing the kernel and flash the flashable supersu.zip
will this work or not..just asking, tell me if i am wrong.. thank you
No for flashing an custom kernel you need an unlocked Bootloader. For unlocking the bootloader you need root

0. Unlock bootloader

4. Restore TA backup
What do you think? should work, shouldn't it?
