Hello guys,
Well... I guess I got one of the dumbest operator rom ever made for XZ (guess it's the same as Vodafone's one), so I wanna root it to get a recovery and then flash any kind of others roms but it's still weird..
By typing *#*#7378423#*#* => Service Info => Configuration ; I was (and I'm still) on the "Rooting Status : Bootloader unlock allowed : No"
So, I do Install the ADB Drivers from this Thread
Then I try the Binary's script, but still no reaction on the 2nd step (yeah I do launch it as administrator), and then I use the DoomLord'd recovery for locked bootloader
So now, I got the CWM 6.0.2.8 recovery on my phone, but I still got the "Rooting Status : Bootloader unlock allowed : No"
Well... I just dunno where I am... Do I am rooted ? Can I flash a custom rom ?
Help

Frnd, Make ur basics clear.. Rooting different from installing custom roms. To install a custom rom u need to unlock the bootloader first. But to root your device, you dont need the same.. Please search the forum once again.. u'll get the answer

I do check what I can since weeks now, and wait till safer way get released (seems cool now ?..)
So I do try the "official" way from sony to unlock the bootloader who just tell me "lol Bootloader unlock allowed : No"
Then.. I would like to unlock the bootloader yeah...
What do I mean to learn ? for now : locked bootloader will stay locked... (I'm still in that feelin that nothin is impossible)
So yeah I search on the forum to "make my basics clear" ; here we go => Usefull forum search
So, what I meant to learn now => I just can be rooted for now, but the Bin4ry's script don't work for me and I still dunno why
But... I success to get the CWM recovery on my phone through DoomLord'd recovery for locked bootloader
Questions was :
Can i flash a custom rom through CWM ? y/n ?
Usually on my previous phones (HTC Leo, HTC Desire, Samsung G2, Samsung Galaxy Nexus) as soon I can get the CWM on my phone mean that I'm rooted, so ?....
You can flash roms that are for locked bootloaders, they are usually indicated by [LB] in the dev threads. The bootloader unlock allowed status for your device will remain no, root does not magically allow you to unlock your bootloader.

1) you are not supposed to post a question in development forum
2) you should've searched in the forum before you posted because there are several discussions and guides regarding this
3) here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2260376

Hello, I am new in the xda community and I have an old device that I wanna install a custom rom called LineageOS.
Due to my problem, I am stuck right now for a few days searching for an answer :crying:. My only problem right now is unlocking my own bootloader since I didn't see any forum or any websites that teaches how to unlock my bootloader since installing a custom rom requires a custom recovery.
Please help me so I can install the custom rom that I chosen.
