Mate please read XDA rules.
You have to know how to ask a question or how to title your thread and the most important you have to learn where to post your thread.
You should open this in Q&A because it is a question not here.
And when someone see your thread he/she will think this is the app or MOD for Z1.
Thank you

All you need is a lockscreen replacement app. Probably the best one out there is WidgetLocker but you can try any alternatives in the Play Store. Also as mentioned above PLEASE READ THE FORUM RULES !!!

Hi,
I am trying to unlock my Xperia T so I can run cyanogenmod, but cant unlock the bootloader menu to run fastboot. I read that if the screen below says "no" then it cannot be done.
Is this true? Is there any way around it?
Any help will be appreciated

You should add it to your all in one thread in big, bold, red letters.
I took the liberty of performing a search for you as you are obviously unable to do so:

Its already in there in the FAQ but I took your advice

I bet it does, I just looked through post 2 of that thread, and it is written at least 3 times in there.....
Maybe if I can get it down to just every other day I have to answer this it will help.
Or, I could be mischievous and just start saying yes, of course it can be unlocked, but I am not going to tell you how!

To unlock the bootloader you need a magic key that ony Thor possesses:
I must add this to the OP of this thread,
Please do not be afraid to ask question in these forums again, but please PLEASE use the search function first. I (and others) are very keen to help, that's why we are here, to help each other as we were all nobs as well at some point. But the first and best lesson I learned was to Search and read and try for yourself before asking questions.
thanks for the replies, yes i know, should have, would have, could have etc...
One more question: why is it that some xperia T's can be unlocked and some not?
Please use the search function before opening up threads. Thanks.
Is there a way to root my Xperia Z1 if I'm on .257 firmware?
Will vRoot, 360 Root or Kingo Root be able to root my phone on .257 firmware?
Do I have to downgrade to .534 to be able to root the phone?
How do I downgrade to .534?
Will I lose all my data if I downgrade to .534?
Thanks in advance!

Download .ftf file for .534 firmware [LINK]
Downgrade to .534 firmware with Flashtool (and untick wipe data/cache/appslog so that you can keep all your data) [GUIDE]
Use vRoot, 360 Root or Kingo App ROOT to root your phone [GUIDE]
After rooting you should restart the phone 2 times
Now you should get a notification that there's an available OTA update to .257
If you don't get the notification, go to the Update Center app on your Z1 (I think the icon for it is a blue circle with two arrows) and refresh to get the update notification
Just install the update through your phone (not through PC) and the root will still be there
WARNING: If you don't get the notification for .257 update, then you will only be able to update through PCCompanion but that way you will lose the root priviledges.
If that way doesn't work for you, you can also use gregbradley's way to root your .257 [GUIDE]

It's the proper answer though, everything has been asked tons of times already and is explained just about as often. If people don't want to put at least some effort in searching and reading they can hardly expect others to put effort in them.
True, but if you know the answer right away, it's nice to give a link for example. And ask op to close the thread.

Sorry, but I replied to various forms of this question a dozen times yesterday in the forums and more in PM's. The information is out there in lots of threads and I don't want to add to the clutter which makes it hard to sift through. It would be like hiding a needle in a pile of needles.
To closed thread report it to the mods via the orange triangle in the top right of the posts.

Thread closed as per OPs request.
Also added solved [TAG] to the Thread title, this helps people who are looking for the answer.
Ok, so I've upgraded to 4.3 and lost my root. As far as I know, to get root on 4.3 I will need unlocked bootloader to flash custom kernel and/or ROM. Unfortunately in the Service Info / Configuration of my phone it says: Bootloader unlock allowed: NO. So here's the question: is there any method of unlocking the bootloader other than official from Sony? Looking at the Xperia Z and ZL forums looks like there isn't, but maybe someone had succeeded on the Z1?
Thanks for any information.

Hey guys,
is it possible to remove the "Swipe up or down to unlock." hint on the lockscreen? I thought it will disappear after 3 unlocks..
Thanks for your help
This can be only be done if you are rooted. In the system should be the icon with that hint which can be deleted so it will not appear on the bar. But even if you are rooted you have to mod the lockscreen and find the right way to do it and it's not that easy but can be done.
It's pretty easy with root.. But i don't want to root my phone at the moment because of the warranty..

If you root your phone you will not lose your warrany. You will lose your warranty if you will Unlock Bootloader only.
UB is needed if you want flash custom roms with custom kernels. You can root your phone with Locked Bootloader.

I didn't answer my question. On my Xperia U it disappears after 3 unlocks so i thought that could be done somehow..

I know that but i didn't know that you can root the Z1 with LB. I only saw threads about rooting by flashing a rooted kernel and reflash the stock kernel.

I've find a Xposed module "GEM Xperia Xposed". With this module I'm able to disable the hint for unlocking and also disable the Arrows. Now I have a clean lockscreen.
What I only miss: to show the wallpaper from the launcher. I've a live wallpaper and the old lockscreen from ICS did show it. I've also try to remove the XperiaLockScreen.apk. But it shows only the default AOSP lockscreen, but not the live wallpaper.

You didn't post any pictures? Anyway, to use different lockscreen other than the stock ones, you'd have to use a third party app or maybe be on a cm/aosp rom
