[Q] dual booting on the z1? is the bootloader locked? - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am deciding on buying either the s4 or the z1. The galaxy s4 dev community seems more active and there is a dual boot solution for it... Is there a dual boot solution also on the xperia z1?
Back in the days of xperia x10, the bootloader was locked.. is it the case for the xperia z1? is it as "hackable" as the s4?

Its upto u what u buy.. Multiboot available for z1 though it requires unlock bootloader from which Stock and AOSP Roms work Simultaneously
Also all AOSP ROMs need UB too

[Q] official kitkat for xperia SP? are custom kitkat stable?

I don't have the phone and I am considering buying one and I have some questions
is there going to be an official kitkat for xperia SP?
I have seen custom kitkat roms, how stable are they? do they work as well as the official JB rom? (I mean ex. for htc desire, there are a lot of kitkat roms but none are as stable as the official rom (camera does not work well (videocam doesn't work at all), phone call issues, crashes, etc..)

Actually, I would put it this way, it's the same device, with just a little bit different software inside. The one with LB has a software limitation that does not let you install original android roms. Now, on most devices bootloader can be unlocked, and if your stuck with the one one that cannot, here I may be wrong, there are some versions of original android that can still be installed on such phones. However, customized stock roms work fine so you're not loosing much.

[Q] Can I install a custom ROM on my XPeria Z if "unlock bootloader allowed: no"?

[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.

There is no lollipop ROM for xperia e1.
There is only Falcon ROM for xperia e1 dual.
U can check all developments for xperia e1 here :- https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-e1/development
There is no 5.0 for E1 yet
Any prevision on when it will come out?
Probably never. Sony does not sell this phone in the USA
And It does not have AOSP support. Vendor files are not communicating with other Android ROMs, so we are stuck.
