Can't get anymore detailed than this: http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions
Otherwise you could try: http://www.unlockroot.com/unlockphone.html
Unlock your bootloader this way, then follow iHackers instructions for "unlocked bootloader installation"
He explains it pretty well for a locked bootloader.. like I said, I suggest you unlock it via sony's method then go ahead and follow his "unlocked bootloder installation", if you're struggling to follow his quite simple instruction on how to install iHackers with a locked bootloader.
As always back everything up!
I have already backed up TA, unlocked the bootloader, installed cwm recovery...
My problem is that I dont know how to do a few steps under "unlocked bootloader" instructions;
I am not sure how to install iHackers advanced stock kernel(step2) and i really dont know how to install Kernel.ftf with flashtool(step7) I also dont know what step8 actually means.
Please help me if you/anybody can and apologize for my bad English.
Thank You

To install iHackers advanced kernel, download the ZIP from that website, put it in your phone's internal memory, then go to recovery (cwm), then click on install zip, choose the iHackers advanced kernel.zip.
To install stock kernel in flashtool, download the ftf they provided, and then open flashtool and click on the "flash device" button then go to where you saved the ftf you downloaded, then choose the ftf and click flash. When it asks you to connect the phone, power off your device and then hold the VOL down button and connect your phone while holding the VOL down. keep holding until it starts flashing. after that just disconnect it and power it on.
Step 8 tells you that you can now install any kernel you want (if you are familiar with a particular kernel, you can install it)

Thank you, that was really helpfulI, but I did exactly like you said, but when I tried to turn my phone back on, it stuck on the sony logo and I cant do anything except to turn it off with power button+voume up key and flash firmware again.
I am not sure where i went wrong, maybe at step 6; after the installation i unticked to reboot my phone and I turned off the phone from cwm recovery, so where to select No to Disable Flash Recovery Confirmation?
Thank You for answer.
I figured it out, thanks one more time

Post what you did for others to see? May be able to help others in a similar situations.

I actually skipped step 3, where you click on reboot recovery option. I have never worked this before so...
About step 6, after you install the rom, in cwm recovery go to Advanced-power options-off and click NO, than you flash kernel.ftf and thats it.
I dont know what i was thinking, its so easy :laugh:

"TWRP" is Team Win Recovery Project. It's a custom recovery that you should have installed. If you do not have a recovery installed then that would actually be your first step. You'll need to refer to this thread for flashing and booting into a custom recovery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261606
Once you know you have a recovery you would then place the zip file on your sdcard and flash it to the device using the recovery. Once the recovery has completed flashing the zip you will choose the option to power off the device. Now you will use Flashtool (from here:http://www.flashtool.net/index.php) to flash the rest of the firmware (the ftf file) to your device.
After you read up on the use of a custom recovery you should understand the steps a little better. Any more questions, just keep posting.
Hello. I did all the steps in DooMLoRD's post, but there is something wrong. The phone is freezing all the time and really slow. After this 1 message appears "System UI has stopped" and then it works better, but when i try to start a game... "(name of the game) has stopped". I ask other guys, but they dont have problens like that on this ROM.
Can you tell me why is that? Thanks in advance!
Did you wipe your phone before installing? Try to install the DooMLoRD's rooted kernel and do a wipe in Recovery. Then, install the ROM again.

Actually first i have installed the ROM and then kernel (is like that in the instructions)
Is it posible to have that problem if i unlocked the bootloader or root the phone wrong?

As long as your bootloader is unlocked root is not important for flashing this ROM. And if you already managed to install custom kernel (for example for aosp based rom) then you successfully unlocked your bootloader. Maybe as the previous post said, try to install DooMLoRD's kernel (The old one) then reboot recovery, wipe, flash 4.3 zip and it should work

I have installed this one: SP-4.3_leak_256-DooMLoRD_AdvStkKernel-v1 Is that the new one ?
I found this: SP-DooMKernel-v03 and SP-DooMKernel-v04
Is that the older kernels ? Because i try the kernel in the ZIP with the ROM and there is no recovery...
Guys....
Im trying to install leaked 4.3 but have issue
1.flashed .254 using flash tool
2.Rebooted
3.Flashed Advanced kernel via fastboot
4.Rebooted
but when i turn on the phone after that,it vibrates once and then there is no display.
so i flashed .254 stock kernal but that didnt fix the issue
As of now im on .254 stock ROM with bootloader locked again
Please explain me step by step process to get this done with 4.3 plzzz
Please note that my phone even though was c5302 always displayed as c5303 in PC companion but it isnt now.

Okay! Do it this way
Unlock ur Bootloader
Flash stock .254 ftf
Then root and install cwm by locked bootloader method
( by installing previous firmware kernel ftf, root by doomloard kit, install cwm of locked bootloader then flash ur latest. 254 kernel ftf)
Now just flash the 4.3 rom through Cwm without Wiping anything

Of course, cause u havent flashed the rom yet! You only flash the kernel, not the rom.
Now do it exactly as you did before, but after flashing the kernel and rebooting, tap the volume uo button continuously until you boot into cwm. And then you can flash the rom through cwm.
Dont forget to copy the zip in your ext sdcard before flashing the kernel!
Cheers.

This is called a bootloop. All you need to do is press VOL UP + POWER, then connect your phone to your computer in flashmode (connect USB while holding VOL DOWN button) and flash .534 using Flashtool
Yep, just Hold Volume Down, connect to PC and flash a Stock FTF.

No just go into recovery, flash the monxdified rom zip and then clear cache and dalvik. I have done the same thing and it works perfectly fine. You can flash any 4.3 rom in this way, as you are on the same firmware.

Monxdified, iHackers and all stock based roms don't need a custom kernel (that's why you don't need to be bootloader unlocked to use them)
Just go into your recovery flash the zip. After the zip is flashed you will get an option to clear dalvik and cache.
It is always recommended to do a factory reset before flashing a custom rom, as it might misbehave. You can however try it without factory reset and then if you see that it doesn't work properly just do a factory reset and flash the rom zip again.

So, is it working or not?
If yes, please flash the stock 5.0.2. Install Xperia Z dual recovery, there is a script that installs dual recovery with just one click. Just connect the device on the pc, enable developer options, enable usb debug and allow to do its thing.
When running the script select option 3, 5.0.2 without root.
After you install the recovery, you can flash any rom you want from there, just make sure to do the correct wiping before and after. happy flashing
Its working now,is there tutorial for flashing recovery

Could not find any tutorial, here is the manual though : http://nut.xperia-files.com/html/xzdualrecovery-manual.html
Anyway you can follow these simple steps:
1. Flash stock 5.0.2 ftf
2. After phone boots, enable Developer Options and from there enable USB debug
3. Connect phone to PC.
4. Assuming you have Windows, Download the Recovery installation Tool here: http://nut.xperia-files.com/?ql=ef9a86aff9041bf1734fc9e3afe75f084d655774
5. Extract, hit the Installer and just follow the instructions from there.

I cannot see any official CM builds, if you like any Rom in the forum, please write to that thread because I'm not really sure.
If you want to experiment, you can! Because if anything goes wrong you can always use flashtool

Yes, there are official builds but those are Nightly - which means they're not ready yet for everyday use but only as test versions.
You will not have a fully functional phone because there might be many bugs in those Roms.

I made a mistake, I installed the XProjectRom ROM, but when I reboot the Z1 it blinks at the beginning "SONY XPERIA", I can not do anything ... Can you help me?
boot into recovery, flash another room or flash again this one. Follow the instructions for installing the rom carefully...
Have you checked the ROM requirement first? Firmware version required? kernel? etc...
Read the guides for ROM/recovery/kernel/ installation you will find some missed steps.
