Hello all, I am interested in flashing nightly Cm11 4.4.4.
Please can someone explain why flashtool says bootloader cannot officially be unlocked?
The phone is currently cm 4.3 and is rooted with sim provider unlocked?

T-Mobile XZ is locked bootloader so u cannot unlock it.
cause in standard method of xperia unlocking u should get unlocking code from sony but they won't send it to C6606

I have already a custom recovery (I think its like in OMAP devices like Moto Dx2 or Razr XT910-912), so my question is if I can flash customs roms and if every rom on developers section is compatible...
So u can first flash custom boot loader and then try custom kernel and rom
But it s better to ask rom developer that u wanna install it

What?
1. There is no such thing as a "custom boot loader" for the Z.
2. Custom kernels will not run on a locked bootloader. Flashing one via recovery will soft brick the device.
To answer the original question, you should be able to flash any stock based custom rom on the C6606. I'm not sure on how it will affect LTE, but I've seen quite a few people around the forums using custom roms on the C6606.

i didn't know SORRY

hi guys,
i don't know which version to install in my atrix HD, i got a Cyanogen M7 at the moment installed on it. I've read that's about the bootloader i have, but i don't know how to check it. Can you help me?
You probably have the JB bootloader as the only other bootloader is ICS and I don't think M7 will run on an ICS bootloader.
well... i'm not sure, but when i bought the atrix it was running JB 4.1.1 .... so i suppose i'm an idiot LOL
so... ehmmmm whenever i don't have a JB bootloader, what hapens if i try to flash a JBBL rom?
Many older ROMs will run on newer bootloaders. If you don't have the correct bootloader for the ROM, the install will fail with an assert error.
You have the jellybean bootloader bro
thanks guys!

ALL AHDs have the JB BL b/c we have not been upgraded to KK yet.
If you want an updated version of CM on your device, you need the ones built for JB bootloader: https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=moto_msm8960_jbbl
Does anyone know if TMobile brand Sony Xperia Z able to flash the other ROMs. I know it's BL and will lose TMO Wifi call function. But TMO stop at 4.3, and I cant see any hope for 4.4, 5.0. Is possible to flash other ROMs? Thank you.
Yes, you can.

WIFI calling function will not work ofcourse but if you are not satisfied you can flash stock firmware anyday using XPERIA FLASH TOOL. You need to unlock the bootloader using official Sony Method. If you can unlock the BL which I was able to.
Then you can download and install Cyanogenmod 13,12,11,10. (C6603) - Yes, it has issues, so I switched to.
SlimKat 4.4.4 - YUGA (C6606) - NO BUGS AT ALL.
Also do remember to flash SGAPPS from their repository no the opengapp.org gapps.
Big difference I found is that Stock OS on new flash takes around 500-700MBs of RAM where SlimKAT takes only 350MB w/o GAPPS and 500MBs GAPPS.
Good luck! I will show you screenshots

The official tutorial is over here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWPYicb8_-Q
I guess that means there's still no way if your C6606 says "Bootloader unlock allowed: NO".
I own the Xperia SP since 2013. I recently got a Galaxy S6. The issue with the Xperia SP I had was like many others, even after Carrier Unlock, the bootloader unlocked allowed remained No. Hence I was very limited to the ROMs I can use. We don't even have Lollipop stable enough for daily use. UBL right now has Marshmallow and also Cyanogenmod Nightlies which I would like to try out on my Xperia before I root my Galaxy S6.
So do we have any updates for SP users to be able to unlocked the bootloader? I mean neither Sony nor carriers support the device anymore, they should allow us to play with it now, no?
Please post any updates here
i agree they should tell us how to unlock it as no -one supports it anymore
I read somewhere (i realy dont recall where) that sending your phone to sony so they can unlock the device for you. is possible.....
Any news ?

using sony official unlock method is always good.
for LB roms, you can try eXistenZ, PureX Z, or XROM. This roms is LP 5.1.1.
There are some MM rom for locked bootloader too somewhere in this forum but I never try them.
if youre tryin to unlock bl with flashtool you may hv problems, try https://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/unlock-yourboot-loader/
