Namaste !
I had already installed CWM Recovery in my xperia SL (locked Bootloader).
Now, I just want to install Paranoid Android 4.2.2 into it without unlocking bootloader.
Is it possible?
Thanks in Advance!!!!
It is not possible...locked bootloader supports only stock kernels...
PA have different kernel...for support of it u have to unlock....even i have ion locked bootloader...i cant taste any other roms

Thank you so much for your short but informative reply !
I had already said that i installed CWM on locked bootloader (xperia SL LT26ii) !
Now will it be possible to unlock bootloader ?
Or Is it necessary to remove that installed cwm first and unlock the bootloader ?
thanks in advance !

Hi there,
I got my ZL few weeks ago, It was sim-locked. and it locked to Bell Canada.
I was bought a code from cellunlocker, and successfully unlocked my zl. After that, I tried to unlock the bl, it wasn't working
so, I check the status of BL, it says unlock allowed no, why? I used to have xperia s, the bl unlock allowed says yes after unsimlock, but why zl not?
Anyone got the same situation? Is it any solution on this thing?
Guys, talk about your operator and your device status:laugh:

Have u rooted your before? Because early root method have false unlockable status. If you are not, I think ur bootloader is lock by the carrier.

uhh..this isn't work for me...
My firmware updated last night which is 1.1.A.1.253, I lost root and I have no idea how to degrade to 434 without lost userdata.
I did try flashtool to flash 434 again, but when os is getting start, just pop up a windows says updating NFC blablabla... and it reboot and again , dead loop...
Is that false status will become normal after flash ftf with wipe data?

Did u wipe ur cache when u flash the 434? If i'm not mistaken if u hv bootloader lock do not wipe cache if u flashing rom it may boot loop but I may mistaken about this.
Have u test repair feature in PC companion after that if successfully booted, try degrade ur rom with flashtool without wiping cache but i'm not sure whether u need root to flash ftf using flashtool. Many people in Z successfully downgraded to 434 actually but not sure via what.

Before unlock BL don't forget to backup your TA.
I did not, and now I lost my certificade for ever.
So here is a tip, do that backup (TA) it's very easy to do.
Good luck!
Hey guys. I bought an xperia m single sim (c1905) a week ago and rooted as soon as i got it. I wanted more so i tried to unlock the bootloader, but realised that my bl was not unlockable. I read on a few sites online that i can still flash 4.2.2 firmware on my phone. Is this possible with a locked bl? What are the risks involved? If so, is there a download.link for the latest 4.2.2 firmware?
1 more thing, is there any cwm recovery for locked bl?
Thank you guys for your help

Yup you can flash the 4.2.2 firmware of Xperia M Dual.
It wont void your warranty as its stock xperia rom only.
You may re flash SS M firmware whenever needed.
No Hou cant have CWM in a locked Bootloader Device.
You can use flash gordan instead to flash zips.

I have a unlocked c6506 from Claro and it is still running 4.1 with 10.1.1.A.1.253 baseband. Claro has still not provided 4.2. and 4.3 updates plus there is too much bloatware on the device. Can someone guide me to load a stock ROM (4.3) since my bootloader is locked.

Just flash any C6506 4.3 ftf using flashtool.

I can directly flash a 4.3 FTF without going to 4.2 ? If yes, can you share a link to the stock ROM for c6506.

I think you will need to flash 4.2.2 first
I'm on mobile so can't search for you
