[Q] Flashed CM 10.2 with locked bootloader

I did it through Clockword recovery mod. I wiped data and cache and installed CM 10.2 from a zip file. Now my phone has CM ROM and it seems like it has CM kernel too. How is this possible, since I have a locked bootloader? Will it be functioning normally?

How did you even manage to install a custom recovery with a locked bootloader?

With ROM manager and root access.

You can't install any recovery with locked bootloader. Either it's unlocked or there's no custom recovery.

Well, there is a custom recovery, ROM and kernel. Or it seems to be so (about the last one). But I never unlocked my bootloader, although I tried with many procedures. Is it possible I unlocked it without wiping everything? And how can I check it?

Hmm i only know the way with hiddenmenu but that doesnt work on cm anymore

yes you could've, there's a fuse editing method that doesnt wipe internal data.
in order to check if its unlocked, turn off your phone. hold vol - button and plug in charge cable. you should be in s/w upgrade screen; in upper left corner you'll see that your bootloader is unlocked
if you hadn't unlocked bootloader, you would've softbricked the device while isntalling custom rom.

well.... u dont really even read what we answer to ur posts, do you ?
post #3 tells u to go to upgrade screen and check it from upper left corner. of course is not necessary to wipe anything to unlock the bootloader. at least for the latest way to unlock it , since im kinda new to android i've never seen the older ways.

Sorry, I did not comprehend your post, since I was not aware of the S/W upgrade mode.
I can't get past the "Please wait while upgrading..." message though.
By the way, yes, I did try the fuse editing method. However, an app said "all fuses are blown, phone permanently locked" and I wasn't getting that message before. I guess it was lying

[Q] Entering recovery

Hi, maybe a noob question but, ever since I rooted my Moto X I cannot enter recovery mode. I believe that when the phone reboots on recovery mode it mounts /system as writable, but I wonder if there's a way to enter recovery mode at all after rooting. I have a locked bootloader on 4.2.2.

yea you can still boot into stock recovery. just boot to the bootloader via volume down + power, then hit the volume down button only till you select recovery then hit volume up. and there is the stock recovery. enjoy.

You'd have to flash back to the stock recovery. However, I think you lose access to a writable system which leads to setting write protection off for good.

i know for a fact you can enter the stock recovery after you root your device. i have done it many times before i flashed TWRP over my stock recovery
also when you root 4.4 you dont change the stock recovery so you should still be able to enter it.

That only applies if you have a Dev Edition or an unlocked bootloader.

well you learn something new every day.
did not know that having a unlocked bootloader would change if you could enter stock recovery after root or not.
thank you for the information.
guess i should of played around with the rooting and stuff before i unlocked my bootloader so i had some more knowledge on locked bootloader processes

That's what I was thinking, when I enter to fastboot and select recovery, it just boots to system. I guess I should unlock the bootloader then, I feel a little paranoid not having recovery

I can unlock, I'm on telcel (Mexico) and I already checked the motorola web site. It's just that reading motorola saying I will no longer have warranty is a little harsh and I tried postponing unlocking it as long as I could (or at least until there's a ROM that catches my eye).
I looked into safestrap but it seems not many ROMS support this yet, or am I in the wrong here?

rooting your phone removes stock recovery. it actually hijacks the stock recovery. it is part of the exploit giving you root. SS has worked on many devices even tho it may not say that it is supported. hashcode might be able to change something in SS to make it more compatible for your device if it isn't already.

Technically, you already lost your warranty by rooting the phone. If you can unlock your bootloader, do it. That alone will save your ass more than a custom recovery.

Downgraded, rooted, now want to install.... quick question.

Hi, thanks for reading,
Ok so my 6903 z1, i've downgraded it to .534, rooted it, installed dualrecovery and am sitting here wondering where to go next.
I wouldn't mind unlocking the bootloader so that I could install other kernels such as pimped kernel. But reading the dualrecovery thread it seems that it is only if you are using the original kernel. So my main question is, what should i do next?
use recovery to flash a zip of a new rom then unlock bootloader then flash a supported recovery?
or should i unlock bootloader now and then new rom etc? (was concerned about the camera issue unlocking the bootloader on <4.3 roms.... will it be "fixed" if i was running on a newer "flashed via recovery" ROM?)
any help is appreciated as I don't want to bugger up the phone like i somehow managed to last time i tried all this (had the IMEI disappearing issue)

If you want to unlock the boot, there is was no need to downgrade to root
Just backup your TA, unlock the boot, flash a custom kernel of your choice then flash away

oh ok. well i've done it now. although I've just checked my service menu
First, you should confirm that it is possible to unlock the boot loader of your phone by checking the service menu. In your phone, open the dialler and enter *#*#7378423#*#* to access the service menu.
In your phone, tap Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. If Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes, then you can continue with the next step. If it says No, or if the status is missing, your device cannot be unlocked.

and it says bootloader unlock allowed: No
So i'm guessing I randomly cannot unlock it anyway? (any reason why if that is the case?)

If that it saying then no way around to unlock your bootloader. BTW, stock kernel isn't that bad and with root you will be able to customize your room and get some tweeks.

so if i cannot unlock bootloader, does that mean i wont be able to use custom roms like Paranoid android etc which run off of CM and presumably a CM kernel?

and is it worth trying to unlock the bootloader in flashtool anyway just to see?
What options/next steps do i have then if i cant flash a custom rom due to not being able to use a different kernel?
Guess i can flash a modified stock rom and thats about it?

Unfortunately No, anything based on Custom Kernels you cannot install. Everything based on Stock Kernel you can Install, even Custom Roms.

oh bloody hell. ok so i'm now stuck in a sony logo boot loop after installing romaur v8 and installing the kernel (561) which it told me to.
any ideas what to do? guessing i'm going to have to flash the old 4.2.2 rom from scratch again

ok so now i'm back to .534 [nut] and rooted. any tips on where to go next so that i dont get stuck in another bootloop???

I thought the romaur rom Was based on stock. Ho hum. Installed the pure stock one and it was OK thanks.

In Android developement thread all roms are based on stock - in original Android developement they are based on pure android.
Bootlooping is mostly caused when flashing wrong bootbundle/kernel.

[Q] rogers sony xperia z1 bootloader unlock allowed: no

hello i have been using xda forums for a quite a while now and i really appreciate the help from every one here. My question is i got the sony xperia z1 which has me stumped with the bootloader unlock i really enjoyed cynaogenmod on my galaxy s2 when i had it and i never had any problems installing it, but with this phone i can not get the the bootloader unlocked, mine says bootloader unlock no, i have been looking every where and people have been saying that you can not unlock the bootloader if it says no. I have managed to get it rooted but i would love to have the custom rom installed can some one please point me in the right direction, or is the answer still no that it can not be unlocked? and if so will it ever be able to unlock?

If it say no the answer is still no. You cannot unlock bootloader or install custom kernel. How ever you still can install custom rom which uses stock kernel.

thank you, could you point me in the right direction with that atleast? I tried looking for that also and still could not find any thing i read i still would have to go in to fast boot mode but when i get in to it all i get is a black screen.

You only get a black screen with fastboot, the commands are issued from the computer.
However you do not need fastboot to install custom roms with a stock kernel. Look in the development section for them

ok this might be a bit too many questions

hi all,
i have recently aquired Sony Xperie SP C5303, and i now i'm lost since i never had android phone. all i used was various emulators for PC and stuff...
but now there is many stuff to be noisy about. and probably this has been answered many times but please, do me a favor and pretty please answer again if possible.
1. Phone is SIM locked (i'm working on getting unlock code from provider, since i have right to do so, after contract expires..which has)..but is there any way to unlock phone before i get the code? i'm wondering how technitians in local services do that. they ask about 30€ for unlocking device, and i doubt they have acces to provider's unlock code.
2. I tried to flash phone with custom firmware (using flashtool) but it failed on me even though i used right firmware, and phone bricked. however i managed to recover phone with sony PC companion and it now works same as when i got it. Firmware 12. 1. A. 1. 205, android version 4.3. i have no idea why it failed on me during flash. can it be cause phone is no rooted, and have no root support? (whill connect to this on 3.) do i have to root phone before flashing? i would really like to have root access.
3. i was unable to do hard reset of phone with power + volume down button. or any other trick didn't work. i couldn't not enter android recovery options. i followed instruction on how to root my phone on
Code:
developersonymobile(dotcom)/unlockbootloader/unlock-yourboot-loader/
. i entered
Code:
*#*#7378423#*#*
to check if my device is unlockable, it says boot loader unlock allowed : No. Does this mean i won't be able to have root acces on my phone? or i still have to learn difference between terms or what they mean.
also is that really true what they warn about that there is no turning back after i root phone and all. won't just hard reseting phone or repair device with all defaults troubh pc sofware bring back and vipe everything back? how will than service know if phone has been rooted ever?
thank you in advance for all your answers.

"Bootloader unlock allowed : No" <= this means you can't use UBL ROMs or custom kernels.
You can always root and use LBL ROMs though. There are plenty of LBL ROMs out there to try.
You can always un-root your phone. And you can always repair your phone's OS by flashing the Stock ROM via flashtool. Doing so would remove root access as well, no one would know you ever rooted.
Root using towelroot.
Get recoveries by Dssmex.
Then flash LBL ROMs, mods, ports etc. that you want.
and Be careful when you flash anything,
Read the threads, don't try to flash any UBL ROM as it may brick your device.

First thank you for helping.
UBL is unlocked boot loader right? and L is locked. sorry to doubt your last tip but i need to double check was it typo or...? you said don't flash UBL. isnt that supposed to say don't flash LBL. or i have totally got this wrong. maybe i don't know what what's LBL and UBL.
but just to be safe? where can i find stock ROM? i tried official site, they don't let me download firmware manualy. only trough sony PC companion automatic repiar. Which is ok too i guess. else i can download sony flash tool callsed emma, but i cannot get login info since they need about 7 days to approve my registration.
so my first step is to root my phone. ok i will do that. i might do it manualy, not trough application though.
what about sim lock? after i root phone, is there sim unlock command or what? and do i need code...how do you unlock your phone to be able to use other SIM.

Welcome.
And no, I did mean "Don't flash UBL ROMs"
UBL = Unlocked Bootloader
LBL = Locked Bootloader
The ROMs that are made for Unlocked Bootloaders are UBL ROMs.
Unlocked Bootloader users can use both LBL and UBL ROMs.
But since your device's Bootloader cannot be unlocked, you can only use LBL ROMs.
It's written in almost all ROM threads if it's a LBL or an UBL ROM. But if it isn't specified, then be sure it's UBL. (Like all 5.1 ROMs are for UBL)
Download stock ftf from here.
Use Flashtool v0.9.18.5
and I can't say about the last one as I don't use a carrier locked device.
Try and see what happens.

thank you again for reply. you've been very helpfull with all info.

that is exactly from where i got it the first time. also same flashtool version. after i tried to use that firmware, my phone bricked.
even though it's stock ROM, probably cause my phone had locked bootloader (i finally found article on what is bootloader and i got it now).
but after this, i have used sony software to recover my phone and it works again.
now important stuff. so my device's bootloader cannot be unlocked. does that 100% means that i'm stuck with locked bootloader and no way of getting it unlocked.
even on sony offical site there is process tutorial how to unlock bootloader, and it says "if you device isn't listed, than you cannot unlock bootloader".
but it IS listed and I AM able to get the unlock code for it. now i'm confused. can i still do the process showed?
another confusing thing is where i read about bootloader, it says that for to be able to root i need to flash custom ROM, and to do that i need to unlock bootloader.
but you have provided link for "towelroot" which was able to get my phone root acces. is it different from rooting my phone manualy after unlocking bootloader. how did it manage to root it anyway? and with towelroot it still has bootloader locked. actually it says "boot loader unlock allowed: NO!". now begs the question does that mean, not allowed, but i can be unobidient one and still unlock it without clearance, or does it mean .."you're stuck with locked bootloader. deal with it!. if you try to unlock bootloader your phone will brick"!.
i think after i get answer to this, than it would be my last question for this topic

Did you install the drivers properly (Flashmode, fastboot, viskan common) ?
You need to disable driver signature verification before installing drivers if you're on Win 8/8.1/probably 10 too.
And flashtool should work perfectly in both LBL and UBL phones.
You said your service menu says, "Bootloader unlock allowed : No"
Even if you get a BL unlock code you can't unlock it coz it's not allowed.
And by messing with the bootloader or trying to flash UBL ROMs may permanently brick your phone.
And different phones have different rooting processses. Rooting our SP is easier than most other phones by TowelRoot.
And "Bootloader unlock allowed : No" is more like a "You're stuck with locked bootloader. deal with it!. If you try to unlock bootloader your phone will brick!".
And you can still use a lot of LBL ROMs, from 4.3 to 5.0. So don't worry Lol.
Welcome

i did install fastboot and drivers and everything acording to tutorial. i payed attention on par "pay attention to this. be sure to install drivers correctly, lol"
i'm using win 7 64bit sp1. i have disabled UAC. i'm alaways running as admin. as for flashtool. software works perfectly..it just fail flashing.
it goes to part where i need to unplug phone and plug in holding volume something button..it says on poppup. than i plug in phone and it starts flasshing..it goes up to 40% something percent. if finish few files but when it comes to system.(something) i forgot extension, it says failed. flasshing stopped. than after that i can't turn on phone again.
i couldn't untill i recovered via Sony PC companion. i did try to flash it several times with several roms. i think it's cause my provider messed with bootloader. they locked it together with sim. on official sony site. it says:
"Note! Even if your device is listed here, certain releases of the device model may not be supported due to operator restrictions. Please select your device on the Start tab to check if your particular device can be unlocked."
anyway, i even got my provider's firmware trough flashtool download system, got my provider's name and exact same firmware that was installed. it still failed on same file.
than after i recovered i didn't try to flash anymore. i don't even know what's the point, if i can have root access without it.
i'm not so keen on installing other android version, unless this one gives me problem. for that i need to unlcok phone first to be able to even use it or test it so far it's has been t urned off most of the time

I see.. I'm not actually sure why Flashtool isn't working.
Anyways some good 4.4.4 LBL ROMs are 'CM11 by Bagyusz', 'Omni-X by NeildownX', PA etc.
Try them if you want.

I assume you're now on a rooted stock ROM.
Follow this to get recoveries.
Reboot, when you see the Blue LED burn, press vol down to enter TWRP recovery.

can i use cm-11-20150822-UNOFFICIAL with flashtool so i avoid installing recoveris or CWMP?
flashtool worked for me it just gave me an error during flashing one of the files....that might be cause i didn't know difference between LBL roms and UBL roms. maybe problem was incorrect rom type for my phone.
i tried to install recovery tools. and i had some problems...when i swhitched on phone there was no light showdown,,just red led...and after phone entered safe mode. but not in recovery menu.
i sure have no idea what to do...now everything is so strange.
to be honest i'm considering dropping this whole thig of and use stock rom as it is...
it would be cool if there would be automatic debloat application which will remove all bloatware...
or at least bloatware list of apps i can delete manually, without loosing important function on my phone. than i would not need custom rom!

If you're on CM11 by Bagyusz, Open Terminal Emulator and enter the following codes,
su
./system/bin/recovery.sh
^ it will give you access to recovery when you see the red LED while booting.
If you decide to go back to stock, you can freeze/remove these apps.
I made the list when I was on stock. Take a backup before removing them just to be safe.
