Hey guys! i would like to install Ubuntu touch on my Xperia z, but as per my previous thread i am unable to unlock my BL.
Is this possible, and how would it be done?
Thanks in advanced!

You can't. Any rom that requires a custom kernel cannot be flashed on a locked bootloader.
You are limited to stock based roms with stock kernels only.

Could someone tell me what roms officially support the Xperia SP please?
And does anyone know what the MOST stable rom for an Xperia SP is?
Thanks
Stable rom?Use stock or stock based roms.There are many roms out there in development section.
Now don't ask which is best rom or which is better because it is against the xda rules.

Like umair42 said, stock should be the most stable, but you can look for CM11 for locked or unlocked bootloaders (depends on your phone) on this forum. I can recommend CM11 by Bagyusz for LBL.
Hi There,
I have read that Sony released the Kernel Sources.
Does this mean that Custom Kernel could be soon on available for our LB XZ ?
Sorry for noon question but not fully confident with Sony's security.
Thanks
No. You can't run custom kernels on locked bootloaders. Sony have always released kernel source and that has no bearing on running custom kernels on a locked bootloader.

I'm just wondering.. I installed AMG Evo9 a while ago, and I want to install a stock based rom which has Android 5.0
My phone is rooted and with Recovery installed, However I can't unlock its bootloader since it won't allow me to, meaning I can't flash any custom Kernel.
Can I install a 5.0 Stock based rom which has a higher compilation version? I mean 14.4.A.0.2xx or something? Or it's gonna brick my phone?
If I can do so, could someone explain me how?
Thanks in advance.

[Q] Can I install a custom ROM on my XPeria Z if "unlock bootloader allowed: no"?
As the title says. I would like to install some Lollipop custom Rom on my xPeria Z, but the bootloader is locked. Is there any way I can bypass this?
Unfortunatelly no. Each Lollipop custom ROM for Xperia Z requires unlocked bootloader, because based on CM or AOSP, and need custom kernel.
Fortunately, at any moment Sony will release the official Lollipop. This will work on locked bootloader .
There are some stock firmware based custom roms for locked bootloaders. But if you are thinking to flash CM, aokp... Etc you are out of luck because it needs unlocked bootloader.

Currently the best stock based Rom is eXistenz Ultimate IMO.

These AOSP (CM, SlimLP, PAC, Paranoid, crDroid, Candy5, Omni) ROMs feature the installation of a different kernel and to flash a different kernel you have to have an unlocked bootloader. So these ROMs will never be available for locked bootloader devices. Sorry mate.
