I have the SO-01L Docomo version and want to try unlocking the bootloader using qunlocktool but I don't know if anyone has managed to flash and run custom roms on the japanese variants. Can someone tell me if I can flash custom roms after unlocking bootloader or not?
Currently
Which model do you have?
It's a bit of a pain for some rooms like the LineageOS 19.1 builds to have to flash each partition manually for the first install due to a bug but other than that haven't had any issues running any roms on my SOV39, even ones that don't explicitly support Japanese variants

Previously I owned a rooted Xperia arc. At that time, almost all custom roms used to mention supporting kernels. But here in Z1 development, I found that Custom Roms don't mention whether they run on stock kernel or DEV Kernel.
I want to know it because if custom roms are running on stock, then I skip Unlocking the boot-loader. If they running on DEV kernels, how ll I know which kernel for which rom ??

Guys, I have a doubt. Some devs have changed china rom translating it and removing all chinese stuff, because is global/india rom delayed?
These multilanguage roms chinese firmware based are custom, so I should unlock bootloader and get a recovery to flash them.
Hey Guys, I've owned various devices and always unlocked and installed custom roms on them, but this device doesn't have too much custom roms, soo actually I don't have unlocked yet, who already unlocked is it worth it? the roms available(custom and treble roms), and custom kernels have better performance over stock? And if I wanted to return to stock I gonna have some kind of trouble or not?
Hello,
I have an F8132 with the build 41.3.A.2.149 under Android 8.0.0. My bootloader can be unlocked (but is not).
I'm pretty new to xda and I've browse the forum but the latest guide to root this phone are from 2016 and not for this version.
So is there a new way to root this phone available or can you give me a link to root this version of the F8132 ?
With me having past experience with Sony devices. You can't just flash magisk using a recovery of choice and boom. Sadly, Sony thought of this. You will either need a modded version of stock or a custom kernel due stock with rooting unlocked
Existenz Oreo for example has this unlocked and extra customisation
Hey, Community.
I was wondering, since the Kernel vis-a-vis Devicetree are available and the bootloader is mostly unlocked, how far have the building of custom roms and twrp progressed?
If you have any opinions or updates on this matter, pls feel free to ust this thread.
