plz help
To flash slimkat you have to do in the same way how you downgraded the phone, with flashtool and follow the steps on the right thread of that rom. To unlock bootloader you have to follow the instructions HERE. If you read carefully and search well you find all want you have to know.
REMEMBER TO BACKUP YOUR TA before unlocking the bootloader. Otherwise you will irreversibly loose your DRM keys.
Hey guys!
I own a rooted Sony Xperia V with a provider locked Bootloader.
Its so annoying that i cant access my recovery!
I tried some "tools" for other Xperia phones but they didnt work.
So im asking if there is anything i could do to get the recovery?
My provider (Austrian) called "Drei" locked the Bootloader (Bootloader Unlock: Not Allowed).
Do me a pleasure and help me

Howsit Guys
Need a lil help here. Im currently on firmware- 10.4.1.B.0.101 with [Root & XZDR] http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2643898 <-- via this method.. all Works sweetly.. Problem is that i want to unlock my bootloader. Ive checked in the service menu, unlocked bootloader is allowed.
I am currently trying to unlock bootloader with latest version of Flashtools(unofficial way).whilst phone is on, i connect cable, startup flashtools, it detects device. Then i click on lightningbolt icon, to unlock bootloader. menu comes up asking to remove cable, power off phone n goto flashmode.
When i get to the part where it asks to select my device, i click on xperia z. And i get a FAIL message saying i cannot officially unlock bootloader?? Do i need to be on stock .244 firmware or stock kernal to unlock ? Or am i going through it the wrong way. main reason i want unlock bootloader to install cyanagen mod11 nightly.
Thnx
Done
Sorry for the silly post.. managed to unlock my bootloader..
Hello all! Im new in xda forum, so i will be greatefull if you help me with my Sony Z1 phone. I have Z1 c903 on android 5.0.2., and I was mad on sony becouse they didnt make update to 5.1, so i was looking on forum how to root and install some custom rom and make my phone updated. So i find on some thread that i should unlock bootloader, and i followed instructions and unlocked it, but without making some backup or anything else. So i have seen that there is official update for sony and i want to get back to lock bootloader. But when i enter flashtool and enter "blu" i click on relock bootloader, and start phone type *#*#service#*#* it say that my bootloader is still unlocked. How should i get back to locked bootloader or make official update to 5.1. Please make it more clear becouse i am pretty noob for android development and rest. Also i want to add that i have not rooted my phone or install some custom rom or other, i just have unlock bootloader and thats all. Could i get back my "DRM keys" and could i get back my ofiicial android. Thanks in advance.

oh dear, you lost your drm keys.... thats not good....all sony own camera features (bionz, noise reduction...) are lost now. So without your drm keys, you dont get an advantage of locking bl again. SImply flash official sony 5.1.1 and here you are
Tutorial?

Hi everyone
I have sony xperia z3+ E6553. I tried to root my device but I think I did most of things wrong. Firstly, I followed sony developer instructions to unlock boot loader in sony's website. After that all of things in my device deleted and I tried to root it with lots of ways. Now I can not open my device. There is just sony logo and nothing else. And internal storage there is no file about android just twrp file. What do you suggest for my situation?
Thanks for your help

To unlock bootloader you need unlock code from Sony website, Flashtool and FTF file for your device.
After getting unlock code you ll need to connect your phone to PC and then open the Installed software Flashtool in your PC, in flashtool there is an option to unlock bootloader you have to click that and put the unlock code there. After that your device is unlocked.
Note# its quite normal that after you unlock your Device then its wont boot for the first time. At that time you will need to flash FTF in your device.
