Hello
Yesterday I've rooted my phone and then I wanted to install a custom rom (CarbonRom).
I've read that I have to unlock the bootloader for installing a custom rom. I did this with the flashtool.
After that my phone stuck in bootloop.
I have restored my phone with twrp recovery and it works now. But I still have a locked bootloader.
I have read that I have to install a stock rom to prevent a bootloop. I only rooted my device so my phone still should have the stock rom on it.
Does anyone know how to unlock the bootloader properly?
Thanks in advance

In the Xperia SP versions which don't allow bootloader unlocking (Bootloader unlock allowed: no) , does the phone not boot in fastboot mode? I can go to Flashtool mode but not to fastboot. Is this the reason why?
update:
I only got you question now.
It is true that fastboot doesn't work with locked bootloaders, and that Flashtool does work.
But that doesn't mean your custom rom or kernel you flash with flashboot will boot. It works for stock.
If you're at 4.1 there are ways to get root and CWM, I don't think there are easy ways to flashing custom rom or installing root or CWM from 4.3 unrooted without unblocking, getting back to 4.1 to get root on 4.3, or perfoming factory reset.

It's a very long way, but at least it works. You can get 4.3 rooted with recovery, but you must go back to 4.1.2 to run CWM once. That is for root; Recovery procedure includes factory resetting...
Hope you can get it working as you want... Locked bootloader really are nasty
Hi
i got my xperia Z1, flashed 4.2.2 ftf, rooted it, flashed TWRP recovery, flashed 4.3 using recovery. Now i want to install custom 4.4.4 rom. Can i do it simply from the TWRP recovery without unlocking the bootloader? Or should i unlock it first? thank you.
If you have an working Recovery you can flash the custom Rom zip file..
Hello I'm using Moto G 2014(XT1068) . Few days ago I flashed CM12.1 on my device. Yesterday my device just got lagged and I had to switch it off to get it into working condition again. But when I turned it on the device was stuck at the boot loader and never went further ahead of it. When I asked my colleague about it he said that my boot loader just crashed and it won't turn up now. Today I flashed my phone with 4.4.4 and it turned on luckily. So I decided to see if I can root my device again and load CM in it when I did that my phone just got bricked and I had to flash it up using 4.4.4 and updating it to 5.0.2. Now I can't flash CM on my device..please help. Please help me with my boot loader issue
First of all, always make backups before doing this kind of things.
Tried rooting and installing custom recovery again?
Boot into bootloader by switching off the phone and then press Volume Down + Power Button and note down your bootloader version.
CM12.1 ROMS need an updated bootloader else it wont flash in TWRP.
Update your bootloader from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/general/bootloader-update-t3060007
and then try flashing the CM12.1 ROM.
Before updating the bootloader I suggest you backup your 4.4.4 Stock ROM via TWRP and then proceed.
Hi Ive got a slight problem I'm unable to return to a stock firmware I've unlocked the boot loader installed twrp and installed the new world rom but when deciding to go back to stock its getting stuck on 5% I've put stock recovery on even relocking boot loader with doc unlocked but no joy any help would be great
It was on eva-136
I've sorted it I flashed C432 oeminfo flash for TWRP and done a recovery
Note, this is my first attempt at rooting and flashing a custom rom.
I unlocked the bootloader and attempted to flash cm. Also used SuperSU and twsp to backup. The flash did not go through, as far as I could tell. The phone would still boot, with the warning, however once I attempted an OTA update from 4.4 to 5.0 the phone is now stuck on the unlocked bootloader warning. HELP!!!
