Like many others on here, I have a stock, unrooted, old su660 (new bootloader) that I would like to install CM 10.1/2 on. I have read many of the forums on here but am confused about:
1. How exactly should I root? Using this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
2. Should I do this to install? CWM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1954903 Or should I use a newer version of CWM (and if there is one where is it)?
3. I understand Kowalski kernels is the way to go (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2441519) for the Cyanogen Mod p990 nightlies (http://get.cm/?device=p990) which is the way I would like to go.
If someone could walk me through this it would be amazing :good:.
Please help! It would be great if we could get an updated sticky.

CM 10.1 Nightly ROM is used in OLBL. You can down files to change from ICS stock to NewBL following the thread below http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2020737. And uses AIO Toolkit and Introduction to flash!

Thanks!
So, these http://get.cm/?device=p990 are all for old bootloaders only?

I saw a new beta for ss that supports kitkat. 4.4. I was thinking of installing the Knox raid Kk rom into the stock slot of ss. I am currently on the mi9 that was installed when I rooted using rdlv. I was looking at the instructions for installing Knox raid Kk. My question is this. Since I have installed the beta ss 3.72 which supports Kk do I need to follow the instructions for upgrading from a jb rom or the instructions for installing on top of rom with ss?

Hello,
so do you guys have a thread about bootloader unlocking? Didn't find it.
And do i need to unlock it? Just root and install recovery? Like in this rom thread forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/development/rom-existenz-v5-0-0-ultra-edition-10-4-t2349656 (i can't post clickable links yet)
And scroll down to how to install the rom and there it just is - install some firmware with flashtool, root and install recovery. Where is the bootloader stuff? Or it depends from the rom? help.

You only need an unlocked bootloader for non-stock based roms, such as Cyanogenmod, Paranoid Android, AOSP etc and those based off them, as they need a custom kernel.
Stock based custom roms do not require an unlocked bootloader, as long as they use an unmodified stock kernel. The rom thread will specify if you need an unlocked bootloader in most cases.

hey, am not aNOOB but am xperia NOOB
rooting sony phones looking to be harder than sammy's!
any ways, there are suggestions to root FW 133 by flashing a rootable firmware then root after that flashing!
does it lag? or get heated by this process? or is there any better ways to root?

Rooting an Xperia phone has never been as easy as now. I recommend using Easyroot Tool in Cross Development Section. I rooted my phone in 2 minutes and then installed dual recovery. Rooting itself doesn't cause any lag or heat issues, it depends on the Rom you install. Anyway it's very easy and as for Roms I'm using iHackers 4.1

It does if you flash the .108 kernel, then root, then flash the 133 kernel back.
As does @[NUT]'s method to install dual recovery on a non rooted device
