is it possible to install cm 12.1 in xperia z (lollipop) by following these steps without unlocking the bootloader?
1. rootng with kingrootv4.5
2. installng XZRecovery-1.0.apk and entering twrp 2.4.3
3. install cm from this
No it isn't possible.
To install a cm12.1 you need an unlocked BL.
if I were you, I would not try it. Many devices evolved into useless paperweights.
BUT
you can flash CUSTOM ROMs but they must have STOCK KERNEL

hi. please i have an sony xperia t jelly bean 4.1.2 build number 9.1.A.1.141 bootloader unlock allowed no
sometimes i have an error camera and i want to install a new custom rom please
You will have to root your device and find a stock based rom to install. There is extensive help in the all in one thread. Review the instructions carefully as it is slightly tricky. Personally I am waiting for the stock-sony 4.3 release which is hopefully available soon.
Hi.
I have an Xperia V Lt25i.
I flashed a ftf from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54409610&postcount=438
after that rooted it then flashed Philz Touch. But I can't flash any custom ROMs, due to status 7 error. It says that my device is 'mint'.
Is there a stock ROM that is tsubasa?
Thanks in advance.
Mint is Xperia T.
Have you tried to install Rom based on 4.4?
Do you have a unlocked bootloader?
[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.

I have Sony Xperia SP C5302 . I have unlocked the boot loader so that i can install the cyanogenMod 12.1 snapshot or 13.(lolipop or marshmallow).

and help me to find easiest way yo install...
i am new to these things .....

Hello folks!
I have a rooted Xperia Z that is stuck on 4.4.4 still and whenever I try to update from Sony's automatic system update, it would fail on me. So would there be an alternative to install to the latest Marshmallow version on a rooted Xperia Z(c6603)? Would I have to download the official stock Marshmallow and flash it from TWP? If so, where can I find the official stock rom?
Thanks in advance!
Unlock bootloader and flash any marshmallow based custom rom
