Plz, where can i find recovery for 4.2.2?
Info: C6503 BL unlocked rooted

What purpose you chase when unlocking bootloader? If you want to try non original Sony, AOSP based ROM, then you can flash specific kernel with built in recovery. Other way there is no need to unlock BL, because you can modify stock Sony FTF what way you want.
Do you backup TA first (for back to locked BL)?

It wont.
What roms are you looking to install? For the ZL the kernel is in the same image as recovery, so you need one for ether the one for Sony based roms or AOSP based roms.
At least for AOSP use the following.

I'm on rooted 4.2.2 stock ROM and dual recovery by [NUT] works for me!

Don't forget to save drm keys before you unlock your bootloader or Bravia Engine will stop working !!!
Use latest flashtool to save your keys.. http://androxyde.github.io/

btw.. does someone know if there's a way to split kernel partition on the ZL?
we could have one for the kernel and one for recovery..

Flash stock firmware like. 50 or. 45 using flashtool in flashmode.This is absolutely safe.Then root & flash cwm.After then flash kernel & baseband of. 55 and flash. 55 rom in cwm.

Will it not work how they're rooting the new U firmware? Just use flashtool to flash kernel only of the older firmware. Root with binary, then use flashtool to flash kernel only of the latest firmware again?

and what about the warranty? and i heard that flashing down/downgrading is only possible when you have a unlocked bootlader
you can use flashtool even if youre on locked bootloader.
Flashtool is fine for warranty etc as it's only flashing official sony files

1. Get it from Here
2. Yes, sure.
3. ICS17 is the modified stock kernel added more features than stock one
Hold on.......
If you've flashed the ics17 kernel then you've unlocked the bootloader yes?
Then scrap off any ics rom and flash Jellybean

Not official Sony if that's what you mean?

I need official Sony 's rom.
I see. Then flashing the 55 ftf would be best. How come you must have Sony only?

Definitely gin2jellybean its great! Try it!
I would have to say is NXT LE v3.1 By Krisdee... Although, you'll have to flash the .58 enhanced v2 FTF before installing the rom using CWM... Follow the instructions in the forum
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1649368
None, dont bother installing custom roms. Your really asking for your problems for your device.

I no it been said NXT LE v3.1 By Krisdee this the best or you can try his new ICS rom Hybrid Rom By Krisdee
"i have an xperia play r800at unable to unlock bootloader i have rooted and installed cwm now what rom is the best for unlocked bootloaders"??
I guess u mean "...is the best for LOCKED bootloader"?....
Anyway, if u have locked bootloader:
1-Forget ICS/JB
2-Just install NXT Rom 1.3, best GB rom available now for Xperia Play.
Hello friends, good morning!
I have a xperia s with 2.55 Firmwares with locked bootloader. And, finally, I managed to make root through this process:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39498268
I would change the official rom
What do you recommend me?
With the locked bootloader, is it possible for me to put some 4.1 or 4.2?

You cannot install 4.1 or 4.2 ROMs on locked boot loader for now. Sorry. Check the development section for a list of roms that work on locked bootloader. We are not allowed to tell which ROM is the best so you will have to try it for yourself. Sorry again.
