What can I do, with a rooted but bootlocked device?

HELLO XDA :good:
I have a rooted, but bootlocked Xperia T.
I was just wondering, what fun things can I do with it?
I can't install CMW or anything, so isn't flashing things impossible?
Anything would be nice!

you can install cmw on a rooted phone running 7.0.A.1.303 firmware, and you can flash that firmware with flashtool. Read the all in one thread from my signature.
Also, I must ask, why did you root if you didnt know what to do with it? You have just killed your warrenty for no reason..oh well.
What you can do with rooted and locked bootloader
Remove bloatware/debrand phone
Gain access to system partition
install cmw (In 303 Firmware)
Flash stock based roms like mine (Find in my signature) Its 195 based so you will be rooted and still have cmw and be on 7.0.A.3.195

Rooted it for Titanium Backup.
Just checked, and I'm running 7.0.A.1.303 Could I flash CWM using flashtool?
Thanks!

Rooting 4.3 Rom
please follow the steps
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48904376#post48904376

Thanks man. This worked a treat for me. Now, just need the kernel modified with a recovery, then I'll be golden.

Thanks!

Currently 4.3 Rooting is limited,
if your Bootloader is locked, you can follow the steps given by @[NUT] with our FTF files.. But you need to have your files ready (like the FTF, and Zip File)
i tried 2 times, it's failing in Flashing the 4.3 Zip (i gave created the Zip for XTZ), somewhere i have missed the files. Requested the help from [NUT], if we have an update from him we can have the Root :fingers-crossed: also for 4.3

Thanks for doing this! I was trying to get a 4.1.2 FTF before updating to 4.3 but, instead of repairing the 4.1.2 build, it updated to 4.3; now I will be able to downgrade and get root back!
Thanks

Hey mate, thanks a lot for the ftf files for sgp351 have been looking this files for a while, great to have this if you make a mistake instaling a rom

Unlocked bootloader here so no worries with that -
But even the vroot method does not work with the 4.3 update ?
And when you said you had problems flashing with the 4.3 files should we just hold off on trying to flash the zip you posted ?
Thanks

the files posted at first post are FTF files (not a flashable cwm files) of 4.1.2 and 4.3, that are working fine for me..
in order to get root in 4.3, i have tried the method posted by @[NUT] at Xperia Z forum. by using the CWM flashable method, that is not working...
currently, there is no direct method for rooting. all the methods will fail
we have to go back to 4.1.2, root it and then go with OTA (it's not available at the method), other approach is flash the files with root, currently i'm trying this approach with guidance from @[NUT]
EDIT: successfully rooted 4.3 will provide the details soon

No need to revert back to 4.1.2 cause 4.2.2 .67 can be easily rooted with vroot and then update to 4.3.

1) Flash a FTF ending in 534 (Find files and instructions in the mega collection thread in the general section)
2) Instal Dual Recovery (Find files and instructions in the dual recovery thread in the cross device development section)
3) Flash a pre rooted 757 rom (Find files and instructions in the "Update to 757" thread in the development section)
That's 4 times today I have written that, so I am batting at average today....

Thanks for the help. So all I need to do to get warranty back is to flash stock no root or recovery?

There is no such thing as a stock recovery on sony phones
You will just need to flash a FTF file, but you do not lose warrenty by rooting

Hey @gregbradley
i have gone through your many post....first of all thanx for all the help to us noobs.
and yet again i am going to ask you the same question.
how can i root my xperia z1 c6902 it is right now on 4.4.2 14.3.A.0.757,
from what i read i understand:
i need to install 534 ftf using flashtool.
here i am worried about losing IMEI number as some users have reported i am planning to flash this ftf https://mega.co.nz/#!Oxxk1Lqb!MC-coFtjIJxxeBRlQYY94CCL7WM4yBgLJNY17iQKf7o
from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52191279&postcount=2
is it safe??
secondly when will i take the TA backup i read that i require root for it. so i guess after i flash 534 i do the step 2
i am going to repeat the steps given here
Make sure you have USB debugging turned ON.
download Z1-lockeddualrecovery[VERSION]-BETA.installer.zip from http://nut.xperia-files.com
Windows:
unpack at C: or somewhere you will remember!
navigate to the resulting directory and look for install.bat, double click it to run;
Your phone WILL reboot when installation has completed and it will go into the default recovery for the first boot.
Reboot to system from recovery to allow the installer to clean up after installation (it is safe to skip this step).
Enjoy DUAL RECOVERY!

Look, I have given the instructions, please follow them then ask questions
yes you will lose IMEI when you flash 534, but you will get it back when you flash a 757 rom
why are you bothering with a TA backup...ae you unlocking the bootloader? did I say to back it up? no...just follow the three steps I said

He Said
If you coming from on 4.3 :
...
Install Recovery
...
and
If you have LB with 4.2/4.3 and Recovery or UB :
Go to Recovery
...
I am not 4.3 or 4.2 and I cant go to recovery

You have to flash a 4.1.2 or a 4.2.2 firmware with Flashtool (you will find it on others XDA thread of the section. You have to do that because with locked bootloader (LB) on 4.3 you can't root and install any Recovery.
So, go on previous Android version, root it, install recovery, install my zip, and the 2 others zip, then flash the stripped ftf (firmware) on your phone.
for this method you dont need to unlock bootloader
